創世記 14
1 當時シナルの王アムラペル、エラサルの王アリオク、エラムの王ケダラオメルおよびゴイムの王テダル等
And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
2 ソドムの王ベラ、ゴモルの王ビルシア、アデマの王シナブ、ゼボイムの王セメベルおよびベラ（即ち今のゾアル）の王と戰ひをなせり
[That these] made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
3 是等の五人の王皆結合てシデムの谷に至れり其處は今の鹽海なり
All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
4 彼等は十二年ケダラオメルに事へ第十三年に叛けり
Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
5 第十四年にケダラオメルおよび彼と偕なる王等來りてアシタロテカルナイムのレパイム人、ハムのズジ人、シヤベキリアタイムのエミ人
And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that [were] with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
6 およびセイル山のホリ人を撃て曠野の傍なるエルパランに至り
And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which [is] by the wilderness.
7 彼等歸りてエンミシパテ（即ち今のカデシ）に至りアマレク人の國を盡く撃又ハザゾンタマルに住るアモリ人を撃り
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 in Hazezon-tamar.
8 爰にソドムの王ゴモラの王アデマの王ゼボイムの王およびベラ（即ち今のゾアル）の王出てシデムの谷にて彼等と戰ひを接たり
And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same [is] Zoar; ) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;
9 即ち彼五人の王等エラムの王ケダラオメル、ゴイムの王テダル、シナルの王アムラペル、エラサルの王アリオクの四人と戰へり
With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.
10 シデムの谷には地瀝青の坑多かりしがソドムとゴモラの王等遁て其處に陷りぬ其餘の者は山に遁逃たり
And the vale of Siddim [was full of] slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
11 是に於て彼等ソドムとゴモラの諸の物と其諸の食料を取て去れり
And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
12 彼等アブラムの姪ロトと其物を取て去り其は彼ソドムに住たればなり
And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
13 茲に遁逃者來りてヘブル人アブラムに之を告たり時にアブラムはアモリ人マムレの橡林に住りマムレはエシコルの兄弟又アネルの兄弟なり是等はアブラムと契約を結べる者なりき
And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these [were] confederate with Abram.
14 アブラム其兄弟の擄にせられしを聞しかば其熟練したる家の子三百十八人を率ゐてダンまで追いたり
And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained [servants], born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued [them] unto Dan.
15 其家臣を分ちて夜に乗じて彼等を攻め彼等を撃破りてダマスコの左なるホバまで彼等を追ゆけり
And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which [is] on the left hand of Damascus.
16 アブラム斯諸の物を奪回し亦其兄弟ロトと其物および婦人と人民を取回せり
And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
17 アブラム、ケダラオメルおよび彼と偕なる王等を撃破りて歸れる時ソドムの王シヤベの谷（即ち今の王の谷）にて彼を迎へたり
And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that [were] with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which [is] the king’s dale.
18 時にサレムの王メルキゼデク、パンと酒を携出せり彼は至高き神の祭司なりき
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he [was] the priest of the most high God.
19 彼アブラムを祝して言けるは願くは天地の主なる至高神アブラムを祝福みたまへ
And he blessed him, and said, Blessed [be] Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
20 願くは汝の敵を汝の手に付したまひし至高神に稱譽あれとアブラム乃ち彼に其諸の物の什分の一を餽れり
And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
21 茲にソドムの王アブラムに言けるは人を我に與へ物を汝に取れと
And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.
22 アブラム、ソドムの王に言けるは我天地の主なる至高き神ヱホバを指て言ふ
And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,
23 一本の絲にても鞋帶にても凡て汝の所屬は我取ざるべし恐くは汝我アブラムを富しめたりと言ん
That I will not [take] from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that [is] thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
24 但少者の既に食ひたる物および我と偕に行し人アネル、エシコルおよびマムレの分を除くべし彼等には彼等の分を取しめよ
Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
