1 Na tango wana, Amirafeli, mokonzi ya Shineari; Arioki, mokonzi ya Elasari; Kedorilaomeri, mokonzi ya Elami, mpe Tideali, mokonzi ya Goyimi,
And it came to pass at that time, that Amraphel king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Pontus, and Chodorlahomor king of the Elamites, and Thadal king of nations,
2 bakendeki kobundisa Bera, mokonzi ya Sodome; Birisha, mokonzi ya Gomore; Shineabi, mokonzi ya Adima; Shemeberi, mokonzi ya Tseboyimi mpe mokonzi ya Bela oyo elakisi Tsoari.
Made war against Bara king of Sodom, and against Bersa king of Gomorrha, and against Sennaab king of Adama, and against Semeber king of Seboim, and against the king of Bala, which is Segor.
3 Bakonzi mitano oyo, basangisaki mampinga na bango ya basoda na lubwaku ya Sidimi oyo ezali ebale monene ya Barozo.
All these came together into the woodland vale, which now is the salt sea.
4 Bazalaki na se ya bokonzi ya Kedorilaomeri mibu zomi na mibale, kasi na mobu oyo ya zomi na misato, batombokelaki ye.
For they had served Chodorlahomor twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they revolted from him.
5 Na mobu ya zomi na minei, Kedorilaomeri elongo na bakonzi oyo basanganaki na ye, babundisaki mpe balongaki bato ya Refayimi na Ashiteroti-Karinayimi; bato ya Zuzimi, na Ami; mpe bato ya Emimi, na Shave-Kiriatayimi;
And in the fourteenth year came Chodorlahomor, and the kings that were with him: and they smote the Raphaim in Astarothcarnaim, and the Zuzim with them, and the Emim in Save of Cariathaim.
6 bato ya Ori, na Seiri, mokili ya bangomba kino na Parani, pene ya esobe.
And the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the plains of Pharan, which is in the wilderness.
7 Tango bazongaki, bakendeki na Eyini-Mishipati oyo elakisi Kadeshi mpe babotolaki mokili mobimba ya bato ya Amaleki. Balongaki mpe bato ya Amori oyo bazalaki kovanda na Atsatsoni-Tamari.
And they returned, and came to the fountain of Misphat, the same is Cades: and they smote all the country of the Amalecites, and the Amorrhean that dwelt in Asasonthamar.
8 Boye mokonzi ya Sodome, mokonzi ya Gomore, mokonzi ya Adima, mokonzi ya Tseboyimi mpe mokonzi ya Bela oyo elakisi Tsoari, babimaki mpe babongamaki na lubwaku ya Sidimi
And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrha, and the king of Adama, and the king of Seboim, and the king of Bala, which is Segor, went out: and they set themselves against them in battle array in the woodland vale:
9 mpo na kobundisa Kedorilaomeri, mokonzi ya Elami; Tideali, mokonzi ya Goyimi; Amirafeli, mokonzi ya Shineari, mpe Arioki, mokonzi ya Elasari. Bakonzi minei babundisaki bakonzi mitano.
To wit, against Chodorlahomor king of the Elamites, and Thadal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Pontus: four kings against five.
10 Nzokande, lubwaku ya Sidimi ezalaki na mabulu oyo etonda na potopoto ya mwindo; bongo tango bakonzi ya Sodome mpe ya Gomore bazalaki kokima, ndambo ya bato bazalaki kozinda kati na yango mpe ndambo mosusu bazalaki kokima na bangomba.
Now the woodland vale had many pits of slime. And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrha turned their backs and were overthrown there: and they that remained fled to the mountain.
11 Bakonzi oyo minei, babotolaki biloko nyonso ya Sodome mpe ya Gomore mpe bakendeki na biloko na bango nyonso ya kolia.
And they took all the substance of the Sodomites, and Gomorrhites, and all their victuals, and went their way:
12 Bamemaki mpe lisusu Loti, mwana ya ndeko ya Abrami, elongo na bomengo na ye nyonso oyo azwaki tango azalaki kovanda na Sodome.
And Lot also, the son of Abram’s brother, who dwelt in Sodom, and his substance.
13 Bongo, moto moko akimaki na bitumba mpe akendeki kopesa sango epai ya Abrami, Mo-Ebre oyo azalaki kovanda pene ya banzete minene ya Mamire, moto ya Amori, ndeko ya Eshikoli mpe ya Aneri. Bango nyonso misato basalaki lisanga na Abrami.
And behold one that had escaped told Abram the Hebrew, who dwelt in the vale of Mambre the Amorrhite, the brother of Escol, and the brother of Aner: for these had made league with Abram.
14 Tango Abrami ayokaki ete bakangi ndeko na ye, abengisaki bato nkama misato na zomi na mwambe oyo bayebi kobunda mpe babotama na ndako na ye. Boye balandaki bango kino na Dani.
Which when Abram had heard, to wit, that his brother Lot was taken, he numbered of the servants born in his house, three hundred and eighteen well appointed: and pursued them to Dan.
15 Na butu, Abrami akabolaki bato na ye mpo na kobundisa bango, abetaki bango mpe alandaki bango kino na Oba, na nor ya Damasi.
And dividing his company, he rushed upon them in the night: and defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hoba, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
16 Abotolaki bango bomengo nyonso ya bitumba mpe azongaki na ndeko na ye Loti elongo na biloko na ye nyonso, basi mpe bato mosusu.
And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his brother, with his substance, the women also and the people.
17 Mokonzi ya Sodome akendeki na lubwaku ya Shave oyo ezali lubwaku ya bokonzi, mpo na kokutana na Abrami oyo azali kozonga sima na ye kolonga Kedorilaomeri elongo na bakonzi oyo basanganaki na ye, na bitumba.
And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter of Chodorlahomor, and of the kings that were with him in the vale of Save, which is the king’s vale.
18 Melishisedeki, mokonzi ya Salemi, amemaki mapa mpe masanga ya vino. Azalaki Nganga-Nzambe ya Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo
But Melchisedech the king of Salem, bringing forth bread and wine, for he was the priest of the most high God,
19 mpe apambolaki Abrami na maloba oyo: « Tika ete Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, Mokeli ya likolo mpe ya mokili, apambola Abrami!
Blessed him, and said: Blessed be Abram by the most high God, who created heaven and earth.
20 Tika ete Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo apambolama, Ye oyo akabi na maboko na yo banguna na yo! » Abrami apesaki ye eteni ya zomi ya biloko nyonso oyo azwaki lokola bomengo ya bitumba.
And blessed be the most high God, by whose protection the enemies are in thy hands. And he gave him the tithes of all.
21 Mokonzi ya Sodome alobaki na Abrami: — Pesa ngai bato, kamata na yo biloko.
And the king of Sodom said to Abram: Give me the persons, and the rest take to thyself.
22 Kasi Abrami azongiselaki mokonzi ya Sodome: — Nalapi ndayi na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, Nzambe oyo akela likolo mpe mokili,
And he answered him: I lift up my hand to the Lord God the most high, the possessor of heaven and earth,
23 ete nakozwa eloko moko te kati na biloko na yo: ezala singa ya kotongela to ya kokangela sapato, mpo ete oloba te: « Nakomisi Abrami mozwi. »
That from the very woof thread unto the shoe latchet, I will not take of any things that are thine, lest thou say I have enriched Abram:
24 Nakondima eloko te longola kaka biloko oyo bato na ngai baliaki mpe biloko ya bato oyo bazalaki elongo na ngai: Aneri, Eshikoli mpe Mamire; bango nde bakozwa biloko na bango.
Except such things as the young men have eaten, and the shares of the men that came with me, Aner, Escol, and Mambre: these shall take their shares.
