Ebandeli 14
1 Na tango wana, Amirafeli, mokonzi ya Shineari; Arioki, mokonzi ya Elasari; Kedorilaomeri, mokonzi ya Elami, mpe Tideali, mokonzi ya Goyimi,
It happened in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,
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.
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 Bakonzi mitano oyo, basangisaki mampinga na bango ya basoda na lubwaku ya Sidimi oyo ezali ebale monene ya Barozo.
All these joined together in the Valley of Siddim (that 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.
Twelve years they served Kedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year, they rebelled.
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;
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 bato ya Ori, na Seiri, mokili ya bangomba kino na Parani, pene ya esobe.
and the Horite, in the hills of Seir, to El Paran, which is near the desert.
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.
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 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
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 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.
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 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 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 Bakonzi oyo minei, babotolaki biloko nyonso ya Sodome mpe ya Gomore mpe bakendeki na biloko na bango nyonso ya kolia.
They took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and left.
12 Bamemaki mpe lisusu Loti, mwana ya ndeko ya Abrami, elongo na bomengo na ye nyonso oyo azwaki tango azalaki kovanda na Sodome.
They also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who lived in Sodom, and his possessions, and departed.
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.
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 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.
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 Na butu, Abrami akabolaki bato na ye mpo na kobundisa bango, abetaki bango mpe alandaki bango kino na Oba, na nor ya Damasi.
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 Abotolaki bango bomengo nyonso ya bitumba mpe azongaki na ndeko na ye Loti elongo na biloko na ye nyonso, basi mpe bato mosusu.
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 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.
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 Melishisedeki, mokonzi ya Salemi, amemaki mapa mpe masanga ya vino. Azalaki Nganga-Nzambe ya Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo
Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was priest of God Most High.
19 mpe apambolaki Abrami na maloba oyo: « Tika ete Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, Mokeli ya likolo mpe ya mokili, apambola Abrami!
He blessed him, and said, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Maker of 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 God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand." And he gave him a tenth of everything.
21 Mokonzi ya Sodome alobaki na Abrami: — Pesa ngai bato, kamata na yo biloko.
Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people, and take the possessions for yourself."
22 Kasi Abrami azongiselaki mokonzi ya Sodome: — Nalapi ndayi na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, Nzambe oyo akela likolo mpe mokili,
Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted up my hand to God Most High, Maker 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 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 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.
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."
