18 Melkizedek, eze Salem, onye nchụaja Chineke nke kachasị ihe niile elu, wepụtara achịcha na mmanya,

And Abram said to the King of Sodom, I haue lift vp mine hand vnto the Lord the most hie God possessor of heauen 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.’
That I will not take of all that is thine, so much as a threde or shoolatchet, lest thou shouldest say, I haue made Abram riche,
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.”
Saue onely that, which the yong men haue eaten, and the partes of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre: let them take their partes.
