Kinohi 14
1 I KA manawa ia Amerapela ke alii o Sinara, o Arioka ke alii o Elasara, o Kedorelaomera ke alii o Elama, a o Tidala ke alii o Goima;
At that time Amraphel was king of Shinar, and he allied himself with Arioch, king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim.
2 Kaua mai la lakou me Bera ke alii o Sodoma, me Biresa ke alii o Gomora, me Sinaba ke alii o Adema, me Semebara ke alii o Zeboima, a me ke alii o Bela, oia hoi o Zoara.
They attacked Bera, king of Sodom, Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (otherwise known as Zoar).
3 I hoakoakoaia keia poe a pau ma ke awawa o Sidima, kahi ia o ka moana paakai.
All these in the second group joined forces in the Valley of Siddim (the Dead Sea valley).
4 Hookauwa aku la lakou na Kedorelaomera i na makahiki he umikumamalua; a i ka umikumamakolu o ka makahiki, kipi ae la lakou.
They had been under the rule of Chedorlaomer for twelve years, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled against him.
5 A i ka makahiki umikumamaha, hele mai la o Kedorelaomera, a me ia pu ua mau alii la, a hahau mai la i ka Repaima ma Aseterota Kanaima, me ka Zuzima ma Hama, a me ka Emima ma Sehave ma Kiriataima.
In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer invaded, along with the kings in his alliance. They defeated the Rephaites in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
6 A me ka Hora ma ko lakou mauna Seira, a hiki Elepazana ma ka waoakua.
and the Horites in their hill country of Seir, all the way to El-paran, near the desert.
7 A hoi mai la lakou, a hiki mai la i Enemisepata, oia o Kadesa, a hahau aku ia i ko ka aina a pau o ka Amaleki, a me ka Amori i noho la ma Hazezona-tamara.
Then they swung back through and attacked En-mishpat (otherwise known as Kadesh) and conquered the whole country belonging to the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar.
8 Hele aku la ke alii o Sodoma me ke alii o Gomora, me ke alii o Adema, a me ke alii o Zeboima, a me ke alii o Bela, oia hoi o Zoara; a kaua aku la lakou me kela poe ma ke awawa o Sidima;
Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (otherwise known as Zoar) marched out and prepared for battle in the Valley of Siddim.
9 Me Kedorelaomera ke alii o Elama, a me Tidala ke alii o Goima, a me Amerapela ke alii o Sinara, a me Arioka ke alii o Elasara; o na'lii eha me na'lii elima.
They fought Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, Tidal, king of Goiim, Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Ellasar—four kings on one side against five on the other.
10 He nui na lua bitumena ma ke awawa o Sidima; hee aku la na alii o Sodoma a me Gomora, a haule iho la ilaila; a holo aku la ka poe i koe ma ka mauna.
There were many tar pits in the Valley of Siddim, and as the defeated kings of Sodom and Gomorrah ran away, some of their men fell into them while the rest ran to the hills.
11 Lawe pio aku la lakou i ka waiwai a pau o Sodoma a o Gomora, a me ka lakou ai a pau, a hele aku la.
The invaders took from Sodom and Gomorrah all their possessions and food and left.
12 Lawe aku la hoi lakou ia Lota, i noho ai ma Sodoma, o ke keiki a ko Aberama kaikuaana, a me kana waiwai, a hoi aku la.
They also captured Lot, Abram's nephew, and his possessions, because he was living in Sodom.
13 Hele mai la kekahi o ka poe i pakele, a hai mai la ia Aberama ka Hebera; no ka mea, i noho ai oia ma na laau oka no Mamere ka Amori, ka hoahanau o Esekola, a o Anera: a ua hoolauna pu lakou nei me Aberama.
But one of those captured escaped and went and told Abram the Hebrew what had happened. Abram was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, whose brothers were Eshcol and Aner. All of them were Abram's allies.
14 Lohe ae la o Aberama, ua lawe pio ia kona hoahanau, alakai aku la ia i kona poe kanaka i hoomakaukauia ka poe i hanau ma kona hale iho, akolu haneri a me kumamawalu, a alualu aku la ia lakou a hiki i Dana.
When Abram found out that his nephew had been captured, he called together 318 fighting men who had been born in his household and chased after them all the way to Dan.
15 Mahele iho la oia i kona poe e ku e ia lakou, oia a me kana poe kauwa i ka po, poipo aku la ia lakou, a alualu aku la ia lakou a hiki i Hoba, aia ma ka lima hema o Damaseko.
There he divided his men into groups and attacked at night, defeating the enemy and chasing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.
16 Hoihoi mai la ia i ka waiwai a pau, a lawe mai la hoi oia i kona hoahanau ia Lota, a me kona waiwai, me na wahine hoi, a me na kanaka.
Abram recovered all that had been taken, including Lot and his possessions, and also brought back the women and others who had been captured.
17 Hele aku ke alii o Sodoma iwaho e halawai me Aberama, mahope o kona hoi hou ana mai mai ka luku ana ia Kedorelaomera a me na alii me ia, ma ke awawa o Save, oia ke awawa o ke alii.
When Abram returned after defeating Chedorlaomer and his allies, the king of Sodom came out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (or Valley of the King).
18 A o Melekizedeka ke alii o Salema, lawe mai la ia i ka berena a me ka waina: oia ke kahuna o ke Akua kiekie loa.
Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was a priest of the Most High God.
19 Hoomaikai mai la oia ia ia, i mai la, E pomaikai no o Aberama i ke Akua kiekie loa, nona ka lani a me ka honua.
He blessed Abram, telling him, “May Abram be blessed by the Most High God, Creator of heaven and earth.
20 E hoomaikaiia hoi ke Akua kiekie loa, nana i hoolilo mai kou poe enemi iloko o kou lima. A haawi aku la ia nana i ka hapaumi o na mea a pau.
May the Most High God be praised, who handed your enemies over to you.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek one tenth of everything.
21 I mai la ke alii o Sodoma ia Aberama, o ke kanaka ko'u, a e lawe oe i ka waiwai nou.
The king of Sodom told Abram, “Let me have the people back, and you can keep everything else for yourself.”
22 I aku la o Aberama i ke alii o Sodoma, Ua hapai aku no au i ko'u lima ia Iehova, i ke Akua kiekie loa, i ka mea nona ka lani a me ka honua,
But Abram replied to the king of Sodom, “I raise my hand, making a solemn promise to the Lord, the Most High God, Creator of heaven and earth,
23 Aole au e lawe no'u i kekahi maawe, aole hoi kekahi mea iki o kau, o olelo ae oe, Ua waiwai o Aberama ia'u:
that I refuse to take anything belonging to you, not a single thread or a sandal strap. Otherwise you might claim, ‘It was me who made Abram rich!’
24 O ka mea wale no a ka poe kanaka opiopio i ai ai, a me ka puu waiwai pio a ka poe kanaka i hele pu ai me an, o Anera, o Esekola, a o Mamere; e lawe lakou i ko lakou puu.
I won't take anything except what my men have eaten, and the share for those who accompanied me—Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them have their share.”
