Genesis 14
1 factum est autem in illo tempore ut Amrafel rex Sennaar et Arioch rex Ponti et Chodorlahomor rex Aelamitarum et Thadal rex Gentium
It happened in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,
2 inirent bellum contra Bara regem Sodomorum et contra Bersa regem Gomorrae et contra Sennaab regem Adamae et contra Semeber regem Seboim contraque regem Balae ipsa est Segor
that they 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 (that is, Zoar).
3 omnes hii convenerunt in vallem Silvestrem quae nunc est mare Salis
All these joined together in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea).
4 duodecim enim annis servierant Chodorlahomor et tertiodecimo anno recesserunt ab eo
Twelve years they served Kedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year, they rebelled.
5 igitur anno quartodecimo venit Chodorlahomor et reges qui erant cum eo percusseruntque Rafaim in Astharothcarnaim et Zuzim cum eis et Emim in Savecariathaim
In the fourteenth year, Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him came and attacked the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
6 et Chorreos in montibus Seir usque ad campestria Pharan quae est in solitudine
and the Horite, in the hills of Seir, to El Paran, which is near the desert.
7 reversique sunt et venerunt ad fontem Mesfat ipsa est Cades et percusserunt omnem regionem Amalechitarum et Amorreum qui habitabat in Asasonthamar
They returned, and came to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and attacked all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that lived in Hazazon Tamar.
8 et egressi sunt rex Sodomorum et rex Gomorrae rexque Adamae et rex Seboim necnon et rex Balae quae est Segor et direxerunt contra eos aciem in valle Silvestri
The king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) came out; and they took up battle positions in the Valley of Siddim
9 scilicet adversum Chodorlahomor regem Aelamitarum et Thadal regem Gentium et Amrafel regem Sennaar et Arioch regem Ponti quattuor reges adversus quinque
against Kedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
10 vallis autem Silvestris habebat puteos multos bituminis itaque rex Sodomorum et Gomorrae terga verterunt cecideruntque ibi et qui remanserant fugerunt ad montem
Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah fled, and they fell there, and those who remained fled to the hills.
11 tulerunt autem omnem substantiam Sodomorum et Gomorrae et universa quae ad cibum pertinent et abierunt
They took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and left.
12 necnon et Loth et substantiam eius filium fratris Abram qui habitabat in Sodomis
They also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who lived in Sodom, and his possessions, and departed.
13 et ecce unus qui evaserat nuntiavit Abram Hebraeo qui habitabat in convalle Mambre Amorrei fratris Eschol et fratris Aner hii enim pepigerant foedus cum Abram
One who had escaped came and told Abram, the Hebrew. Now he lived by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and these were allies of Abram.
14 quod cum audisset Abram captum videlicet Loth fratrem suum numeravit expeditos vernaculos suos trecentos decem et octo et persecutus est eos usque Dan
When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he mobilized his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.
15 et divisis sociis inruit super eos nocte percussitque eos et persecutus est usque Hoba quae est ad levam Damasci
He divided his forces against them at night, he and his servants, and attacked them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is north of Damascus.
16 reduxitque omnem substantiam et Loth fratrem suum cum substantia illius mulieres quoque et populum
He brought back all the possessions, and also brought back his relative, Lot, and his possessions, as well as the women and the other people.
17 egressus est autem rex Sodomorum in occursum eius postquam reversus est a caede Chodorlahomor et regum qui cum eo erant in valle Save quae est vallis Regis
The king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the defeat of Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley).
18 at vero Melchisedech rex Salem proferens panem et vinum erat enim sacerdos Dei altissimi
Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was priest of God Most High.
19 benedixit ei et ait benedictus Abram Deo excelso qui creavit caelum et terram
He blessed him, and said, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth:
20 et benedictus Deus excelsus quo protegente hostes in manibus tuis sunt et dedit ei decimas ex omnibus
and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand." And he gave him a tenth of everything.
21 dixit autem rex Sodomorum ad Abram da mihi animas cetera tolle tibi
Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people, and take the possessions for yourself."
22 qui respondit ei levo manum meam ad Dominum Deum excelsum possessorem caeli et terrae
Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted up my hand to God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth,
23 quod a filo subteminis usque ad corrigiam caligae non accipiam ex omnibus quae tua sunt ne dicas ego ditavi Abram
that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, 'I have made Abram rich.'
24 exceptis his quae comederunt iuvenes et partibus virorum qui venerunt mecum Aner Eschol et Mambre isti accipient partes suas
I will accept nothing from you except that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their portion."
