< Jenesis 14 >
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 reign of Amarphal king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, that Chodollogomor king of Elam, and Thargal 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).
made war with Balla king of Sodom, and with Barsa king of Gomorrha, and with Sennaar, king of Adama, and with Symobor king of Seboim and the king of Balac, this is Segor.
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 met with one consent at the salt valley; this is [now] the sea of salt.
4 Ha fere ofufe nʼokpuru ọchịchị eze Kedoloma afọ iri na abụọ, ma nʼafọ nke iri na atọ, ha nupuru isi.
Twelve years they served Chodollogomor, and the thirteenth year they revolted.
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 Chodollogomor, and the kings with him, and cut to pieces the giants in Astaroth, and Carnain, and strong nations with them, and the Ommaeans in the city Save.
6 na ndị Hor nʼobodo ugwu Sia, ruo obodo El Paran, nke dị nʼakụkụ ọzara.
And the Chorrhaeans in the mountains of Seir, to the turpentine tree of Pharan, which is in the desert.
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 having turned back they came to the well of judgment; this is Cades, and they cut in pieces all the princes of Amalec, and the Amorites dwelling in Asasonthamar.
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 went out, and the king of Gomorrha, and king of Adama, and king of Seboim, and king of Balac, this is Segor, and they set themselves in array against them for war in the salt valley,
9 imegide Kedoloma eze Elam, Tidal eze Goiim, Amrafel eze Shaịna na Ariok eze Elasa. Ya bụ eze ise buru agha megide eze anọ.
against Chodollogomor king of Elam, and Thargal king of nations, and Amarphal king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, the four kings against 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.
Now the salt valley [consists of] slime-pits. And the king of Sodom fled and the king of Gomorrha, and they fell in there: and they that were left fled to the mountain country.
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 cavalry of Sodom and Gomorrha, and all their provisions, 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 also Lot the son of Abram's brother, and his baggage, and departed, for he lived 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 of them that had been rescued came and told Abram the Hebrew; and he lived by the oak of Mamre the Amorite the brother of Eschol, and the brother of Aunan, who were confederates with Abram.
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 having heard that Lot his nephew had been taken captive, numbered his own home-born [servants] three hundred and eighteen, and pursued after them to 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 came upon them by night, he and his servants, and he struck them and pursued them as far as Choba, which is on 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 recovered all the cavalry of Sodom, and he recovered Lot his nephew, and all his possessions, and the women 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 returned from the slaughter of Chodollogomor, and the kings with him, to the valley of Saby; this was the plain of the kings.
18 Melkizedek, eze Salem, onye nchụaja Chineke nke kachasị ihe niile elu, wepụtara achịcha na mmanya,
And Melchisedec king of Salem brought forth loaves and wine, and he was the 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 Abram, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, who made heaven 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 delivered your enemies into your power. And Abram gave him the tithe 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 men, and take the horses to yourself.
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 will stretch out my hand to the Lord the most high God, who made the heaven and the 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 from all your goods from a string to a shoe-latchet, lest you should 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.”
Except what things the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men that went with me, Eschol, Aunan, Mambre, these shall take a portion.
