1 Nʼoge ahụ kwa, Amrafel, eze Shaịna, na Ariok, eze ndị Elasa, na Kedoloma eze Elam, na Tidal eze Goiim,
And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel the king of Shinar, Arioch the king of El-lasar, Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and Tidal the king of nations,
2 buru agha megide Bera eze Sọdọm, na Biasha eze Gọmọra, na Shịnab, eze Adma, na Shemeba eze Zeboiim, na eze obodo Bela (ya bụ Zoa).
[that] they made war with Bera the king of Sodom, and with Birsha the king of Gomorrah, Shinab the king of Admah, and Shemeber the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
3 Ndị eze obodo ndị a: Sọdọm, Gọmọra, Adma, Zeboiim na Bela, jikọtara ndị agha ha ọnụ na Ndagwurugwu Sidim (ya bụ, ndagwurugwu osimiri nnu ahụ).
All these were joined in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
4 Ha fere ofufe nʼokpuru ọchịchị eze Kedoloma afọ iri na abụọ, ma nʼafọ nke iri na atọ, ha nupuru isi.
Twelve years had they served Chedorlaomer; and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
5 Nʼafọ nke iri na anọ, eze Kedoloma na ndị eze ya na ha jikọrọ ọnụ buru agha megide ma merie ndị Refaim bi nʼAshterọt Kenaim na ndị Zuzim bi na Ham na ndị Emim bi Kiriatem na Shave,
And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-Kirjathaim,
6 na ndị Hor nʼobodo ugwu Sia, ruo obodo El Paran, nke dị nʼakụkụ ọzara.
and the Horites on their mount Seir, to El-Paran, which is by the wilderness.
7 Mgbe ahụ, ha chigharịrị azụ gaa En Mishpat (ya bụ Kadesh). Ha meriri ala niile nke ndị Amalek nakwa ndị Amọrait bi na Hazezọn Tama.
And they returned, and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites that dwelt at Hazazon-Tamar.
8 Mgbe ahụ kwa, ndị agha ndị eze obodo Sọdọm na eze Gọmọra, na eze Adma, na eze Zeboiim, na eze Bela (ya bụ Zoa) pụrụ doo onwe ha nʼusoro ibu agha na Ndagwurugwu Sidim,
And the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar, went out, and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim,
9 imegide Kedoloma eze Elam, Tidal eze Goiim, Amrafel eze Shaịna na Ariok eze Elasa. Ya bụ eze ise buru agha megide eze anọ.
with Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and Tidal the king of nations, and Amraphel the king of Shinar, and Arioch the king of Ellasar — four kings with the five.
10 Ma Ndagwurugwu Sidim jupụtara nʼolulu apịtị. Mgbe ndị agha eze Sọdọm na Gọmọra bidoro ịgba ọsọ. Ụfọdụ nʼime ha dabanyere nʼime olulu ndị a, ma ndị fọdụrụ gbapụrụ ọsọ gbaga nʼugwu.
And the vale of Siddim was full of pits of asphalt. And the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there: and they that remained fled to the mountain.
11 Ma eze anọ ndị a banyere nʼime obodo Sọdọm na Gọmọra bukọrọ akụ ha, na ihe oriri ha niile laa.
And they took all the property of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and departed.
12 Ha buuru Lọt, nwa nwanne Ebram, onye bi na Sọdọm na ihe niile o nwere, buru ha na-ala ebe ha si bịa.
And they took Lot and his property, Abram's brother's son, and departed. For he dwelt in Sodom.
13 Ma otu onye gbara ọsọ ndụ site nʼebe ahụ gara kọọrọ Ebram onye Hibru ihe mere. Nʼoge a, Ebram bi nʼebe dị nso nʼosisi ukwu nke Mamre, onye Amọrị, nwanne Eshkọl na Anea, ndị ha na Ebram gbara ndụ.
And one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew. And he dwelt by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol, and the brother of Aner. And these were Abram's allies.
14 Mgbe Ebram nụrụ na adọrọla Lọt nwa nwanne ya nʼagha, ọ kpọkọtara ndị ikom a zụrụ azụ na-ejere ya ozi, ndị a mụrụ nʼụlọ ya. Ọnụọgụgụ ha dị narị ndị ikom atọ na iri na asatọ, ha chụrụ ndị agha ahụ ọsọ tutu ha erute Dan.
And Abram heard that his brother was taken captive; and he led out his trained [servants], born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued [them] as far as Dan.
15 Nʼabalị, Ebram kere ndị agha ya ibuso ndị ahụ agha. O meriri ha, chụọ ha ọsọ, chụruo ha Hoba, nke dị nʼakụkụ ugwu Damaskọs.
And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is to the left of Damascus.
16 Ebram nwetaghachiri ihe niile ahụ ha dọtara nʼagha, dulata nwanne ya Lọt, na ihe onwunwe ya niile, tinyere ndị inyom, na ndị ọzọ niile a dọtara nʼagha.
And he brought back all the property, and brought again his brother Lot and his property, and the women also, and the people.
17 Mgbe Ebram si na mmeri ahụ o meriri Kedoloma na eze ndị ọzọ ahụ na-alọta, eze Sọdọm bịara zute ya na Ndagwurugwu Shave (nke a na-akpọ Ndagwurugwu Eze).
And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after he had returned from smiting Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, into the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's valley.
18 Melkizedek, eze Salem, onye nchụaja Chineke nke kachasị ihe niile elu, wepụtara achịcha na mmanya,
And Melchisedec king of Salem brought out bread and wine. And he was priest of the Most High God.
19 ọ gọziri Ebram sị ya, “Ngọzị dịrị Ebram site nʼaka Chineke nke kachasị ihe niile elu, Onye kere eluigwe na ụwa.
And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the Most High God, possessor of heavens and earth.
20 Ngọzị dịkwara Chineke nke kachasị ihe niile elu, onye weere ndị iro gị nyefee gị nʼaka.” Mgbe ahụ, Ebram nyere ya otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ iri nke ihe niile.
And blessed be the Most High God, who has delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him the tenth of all.
21 Eze Sọdọm gwara Ebram sị, “Nyeghachi m naanị ndị mmadụ, ma debere onwe gị ihe ndị ọzọ.”
And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the souls, and take the property for thyself.
22 Ma Ebram zara eze Sọdọm sị, “Eweliri m aka m elu ṅụọ iyi nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke nke kachasị ihe niile elu, Onye kere eluigwe na ụwa, sị
And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand to Jehovah, the Most High God, possessor of heavens and earth,
23 na agaghị m esi nʼaka gị were ihe ọbụla bụ nke gị, ọ bụladị eriri maọbụ eriri akpụkpọụkwụ. Ka ị ghara ị sị, ‘Ọ bụ m mere ka Ebram baa ọgaranya.’
if from a thread even to a sandal-thong, yes, if of all that is thine, I take [anything]...; that thou mayest not say, I have made Abram rich;
24 Naanị ihe m ga-anara bụ ihe ụmụ okorobịa m ndị a riri, ya na oke ruuru Anea, na Eshkọl, na Mamre so m gaa. Nye ha oke ruuru ha.”
save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men that went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, let them take their portion.
