< Genesis 14 >

1 Napasamak daytoy kadagiti idi al-aldaw da Amrafel nga ari ti Sinar, ni Arioc nga ari ti Eliasar, ni Kedorlaomer nga ari ti Elam, ni Tidal nga ari ti Goiim,
In those days Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim
2 a nangparnuayda iti gubat a maibusor kada Bera nga ari ti Sodoma, ni Birsa nga ari ti Gomorra, ni Sinab nga ari ti Adma, ni Semeber nga ari ti Zeboiim ken iti ari ti Bela (maawagan met daytoy iti Zoar).
went to war against Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).
3 Nagkakaddua dagitoy naud-udi a lima nga ar-ari idiay tanap ti Siddim (a maawagan met iti Naapgad a Baybay)
The latter five came as allies to the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea ).
4 Nagserbida kenni Kedorlaomer iti sangapulo ket dua a tawen, ngem immalsada iti maikasangapulo ket tallo a tawen.
For twelve years they had been subject to Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
5 Kalpasanna, iti maikasangapulo ket uppat a tawen, immay rinaut da Kedorlaomer ken dagiti ar-ari a kakadduana ti Refaim iti Asterot Karnaim, ti Zuzim iti Ham, ti Emim iti Save Kiriataim,
In the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer and the kings allied with him went out and defeated the Rephaites in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
6 ken dagiti Horeo iti katurturod a pagilianda a Seir, agingga idiay El Paran nga asideg iti let-ang.
and the Horites in the area of Mount Seir, as far as El-paran, which is near the desert.
7 Kalpasanna, nagsublida ket dimtengda idiay En Mispat (a maawagan met iti Kades), ket inabakda amin a pagilian dagiti Amalekita, ken kasta met dagiti Amorreo nga agnanaed iti Hazazon Tamar.
Then they turned back to invade En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and they conquered the whole territory of the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar.
8 Kalpasanna, napan nagsagana ti ari ti Sodoma, ti ari ti Gomorra, ti ari ti Adma, ti ari ti Zeboiim, ken ti ari ti Bela (a maawagan met iti Zoar) para iti gubat
Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) marched out and arrayed themselves for battle in the Valley of Siddim
9 a maibusor kenni Kedorlaomer nga ari ti Elam, ni Tidal nga ari ti Goiim, ni Amrafel nga ari ti Sinar, ni Arioc nga ari ti Eliasar, uppat nga ar-ari a maibusor iti lima.
against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five.
10 Ita, ti tanap ti Siddim ket napunno kadagiti abut a naikkan iti alketran, ket idi timmaray dagiti ari ti Sodoma ken Gomorra, natinnagda sadiay. Ket dagiti nabati, nagkamangda kadagiti kabanbantayan.
Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some men fell into the pits, but the survivors fled to the hill country.
11 Isu nga innala amin dagiti kabusor dagiti amin nga adda idiay Sodoma ken Gomorra kasta met dagiti amin a taraon, ket pimmanawda.
The four kings seized all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food, and they went on their way.
12 Iti ipapanda, innalada met ti putot a lalaki ti kabsat ni Abram a ni Lot, nga agnanaed idiay Sodoma agraman dagiti amin a sanikuana.
They also carried off Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since Lot was living in Sodom.
13 Maysa a nakalibas iti immay nangipadamag kenni Abram a Hebreo. Agnanaed isuna iti abay ti kayo a lugo a kukua ni Mamre, nga Amorreo, a kabsat a lalaki da Escol ken Aner, isuda amin ket addaan iti nasayaat a pannakikadua kenni Abram.
Then an escapee came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew. Now Abram was living near the Oaks of Mamre the Amorite, a brother of Eshcol and Aner, all of whom were bound by treaty to Abram.
14 Ita, idi nangngeg ni Abram a natiliw dagiti kabusorna ti kabagianna, indauloanna iti tallo-gasut ket sangapulo ket walo a nasursuruan a lallaki, a naiyanak iti balayna, ket sinunsonda ida agingga idiay Dan.
And when Abram heard that his relative had been captured, he mobilized the 318 trained men born in his household, and they set out in pursuit as far as Dan.
15 Biningayna dagiti tattaona a maibusor kadakuada iti rabii ket dinarupda ida, ken kinamatda ida inggana idiay Hobah, nga adda iti amianan ti Damasco.
During the night, Abram divided his forces and routed Chedorlaomer’s army, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.
16 Kalpasanna, insublina amin dagiti sanikua, ken insublina met ti kabagianna a ni Lot ken dagiti taraonda, kasta met dagiti babbai ken dagiti dadduma a tattao.
He retrieved all the goods, as well as his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the rest of the people.
17 Kalpasan a nagsubli ni Abram manipud iti panangparmekna kenni Kedorlaomer ken dagiti kakaduana nga ar-ari, rimmuar ti ari ti Sodoma tapno sabatenna isuna iti tanap ti Save (a maawagan met iti Tanap ti Ari).
After Abram returned from defeating Chedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).
18 Ni Melkisedek nga ari iti Salem ket nangiruar iti tinapay ken arak. Isuna ket padi ti Kangatoan a Dios.
Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine—since he was priest of God Most High —
19 Bendisionan koma ti Dios a Kangatoan a Nangparsua iti langit ken daga ni Abram.
and he blessed Abram and said: “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,
20 Madaydayaw ti Dios a Kangatoan, nga isu iti nangipaima kadagiti kabusormo kenka”. Kalpasanna, inted ni Abram kenkuana ti apagkapullo dagiti amin a banbanag.
and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything.
21 Kinuna ti ari ti Sodoma kenni Abram, “Itedmo kaniak dagiti tattao ket alaem dagiti banbanag para kenka.”
The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, but take the goods for yourself.”
22 Kinuna ni Abram iti ari ti Sodoma, “Intag-ayko ti imak kenni Yahweh a Kangatoan a Dios, a Nangparsua iti langit ken daga,
But Abram replied to the king of Sodom, “I have raised my hand to the LORD God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,
23 a saanakto a mangala iti sinulid, galut iti sandalias, wenno aniaman a banag a kukuam, tapno saanmonto pulos nga ibaga, 'Pinabaknangko ni Abram.'
that I will not accept even a thread, or a strap of a sandal, or anything that belongs to you, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’
24 Awanto ti alaek malaksid iti kinnan dagiti agtutubo a lallaki ken ti bingay dagiti lallaki a kimmuyog kaniak. Palubosam da Aner, Escol, ken ni Mamre nga alaenda dagiti bingayda.”
I will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and the share for the men who went with me—Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. They may take their portion.”
