1 Na tango wana, Amirafeli, mokonzi ya Shineari; Arioki, mokonzi ya Elasari; Kedorilaomeri, mokonzi ya Elami, mpe Tideali, mokonzi ya Goyimi,
It came about 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 against Bera, king of Sodom, Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, Shemeber, king of Zeboyim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar).
3 Bakonzi mitano oyo, basangisaki mampinga na bango ya basoda na lubwaku ya Sidimi oyo ezali ebale monene ya Barozo.
These latter five kings joined together in the Valley of Siddim (also called 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 had served Kedorlaomer, but 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;
Then in the fourteenth year, Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and attacked the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
6 bato ya Ori, na Seiri, mokili ya bangomba kino na Parani, pene ya esobe.
and the Horites in their hill country of Seir, as far as 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.
Then they turned and came to En Mishpat (also called Kadesh), and defeated all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who lived in Hazezon 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
Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboyim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar) went out and prepared for battle 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, Tidal, king of Goiim, Amraphel, king of Shinar, 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 as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, they fell in there. Those who were left fled to the mountains.
11 Bakonzi oyo minei, babotolaki biloko nyonso ya Sodome mpe ya Gomore mpe bakendeki na biloko na bango nyonso ya kolia.
So the kings took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their provisions, 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.
When they went, they also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who was living in Sodom, along with all his possessions.
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. He was living by the oaks that belonged to Mamre, the Amorite, who was the brother of Eshkol and Aner, who were all 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.
Now when Abram heard that enemies had captured his relative, he led out his 318 trained men who had been born in his house, and he pursued them 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 men against them at night and attacked them, and pursued them as far as 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.
Then he brought back all the possessions, and also brought back his relative Lot and his goods, 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.
After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (also called 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. 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 saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator 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.
Blessed be God Most High, who has given your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
21 Mokonzi ya Sodome alobaki na Abrami: — Pesa ngai bato, kamata na yo biloko.
The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, and take the goods 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 Yahweh, God Most High, Creator 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, a sandal strap, or anything that is yours, so that you can never 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 take nothing except what the young men have eaten and the share of the men that went with me. Let Aner, Eshkol, and Mamre take their portion.”
