< Olubereberye 14 >
1 Mu biro bya Amulafeeri kabaka wa Sinaali, ne Aliyooki kabaka wa Erasali, ne Kedolawomeeri kabaka wa Eramu ne Tidali kabaka wa Goyiyimu,
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 Goiim,
2 bakabaka bano ne balumba ne balwana ne Bbeera kabaka wa Sodomu, ne Bbiruusa kabaka wa Ggomola, ne Sinaabu kabaka wa Aduma, ne Semebeeri kabaka wa Zeboyiyimu ne kabaka wa Bera, ye Zowaali.
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 (the same is Zoar).
3 Bano bonna abooluvannyuma ne beegatta wamu mu kiwonvu kya Sidimu (y’Ennyanja ey’Omunnyo).
All these joined together in the vale of Siddim (the same is the Salt Sea).
4 Baamala emyaka kkumi n’ebiri nga baweereza Kedolawomeeri kabaka we Eramu, naye mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’esatu ne bamujeemera.
Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
5 Mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ena Kedolawomeeri ne bakabaka abaali naye ne balumba Abaleefa mu Asuterosikalumayimu ne babawangula, n’Abazuuzi mu Kaamu, n’Abemi mu Savekiriyasayimu,
And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
6 n’Abakooli mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Seyiri n’okutuukira ddala Erupalaani okumpi n’eddungu.
and the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which is by the wilderness.
7 Ate ne bakyuka ne bajja e Nuumisupaati, ye Kadesi ne bawangula ensi yonna ey’Abamaleki n’Abamoli abaabeeranga mu Kazazonutamali.
And they returned, and came to En-mishpat (the same is Kadesh), and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazazon-tamar.
8 Awo kabaka wa Sodomu ne kabaka wa Ggomola, ne kabaka wa Aduma, ne kabaka wa Zeboyiyimu ne kabaka wa Bera, ye Zowaali ne beegatta mu lutalo mu kiwonvu ky’e Sidimu
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 set the battle in array against them in the vale of Siddim;
9 okulwanyisa Kedolawomeeri kabaka wa Eramu, ne Tidali kabaka wa Goyiyimu ne Amulafeeri kabaka wa Sinaali awamu ne Aliyooki kabaka wa Erasali, bakabaka bana nga balwanyisa bakabaka bataano.
against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
10 Ekiwonvu ky’e Sidimu kyali kijjudde ebinnya ebirimu kolaasi; bakabaka b’e Sodomu ne Ggomola bwe baddukanga ng’abamu babigwamu, n’abalala ne baddukira ku nsozi.
Now the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell there, and they that remained fled to the mountain.
11 Awo bakabaka abana ne batwala ebintu byonna ebyali mu Sodomu ne Ggomola, n’emmere yaabwe yonna gye baalina ne bagenda.
And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
12 Era ne batwala ne Lutti, mutabani wa muganda wa Ibulaamu eyali mu Sodomu, n’ebintu bye ne bagenda nabyo kubanga naye yali abeera mu Sodomu.
And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
13 Awo Omwamoli omu eyali abadduseeko n’ajja n’ategeeza Ibulaamu Omwebbulaniya, eyali abeera okumpi n’emivule gya Mamule, muganda wa Esukoli ne Aneri abaalina endagaano ne Ibulaamu.
And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew: now he dwelt by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and these were confederate with Abram.
14 Ibulaamu bwe yawulira nti muganda we atwalibbwa nga munyage, n’akulembera basajja be abatendeke, abazaalirwa mu nnyumba ye, ebikumi bisatu mu kkumi na munaana, ne bawondera abaatwala Lutti okutuuka e Ddaani.
And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.
15 Mu kiro n’ayawulamu eggye lye, n’abalumba, ye n’abaddu be ne bagoberera abantu bali okutuuka e Kkoba, ku luuyi olw’obukiikakkono obwa Damasiko.
And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
16 Awo n’akomyawo ebintu byonna, era n’akomyawo ne muganda we Lutti n’ebintu bye n’abakazi n’abantu bonna.
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 Ibulaamu bwe yakomawo ng’amaze okuwangula Kedolawomeeri ne bakabaka abaali naye, kabaka wa Sodomu n’afuluma okumusisinkana mu kiwonvu ky’e Save (kye kiwonvu kya kabaka).
And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, at the vale of Shaveh (the same is the King’s Vale).
18 Ne Merukizeddeeki kabaka wa Ssaalemi eyali kabona wa Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo n’aleeta omugaati n’envinnyo.
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was priest of God Most High.
19 N’asabira Ibulaamu omukisa ng’agamba nti, “Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo Omutonzi w’eggulu n’ensi awe Ibulaamu omukisa.
And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth:
20 Era Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo agulumizibwe agabudde abalabe bo mu mikono gyo.” Awo Ibulaamu n’amuwa ekitundu eky’ekkumi ekya buli kimu.
and blessed be God Most High, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him a tenth of all.
21 Ne kabaka wa Sodomu n’agamba Ibulaamu nti, “Mpa abantu, gwe otwale ebintu.”
And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.
22 Naye Ibulaamu n’addamu kabaka wa Sodomu nti, “Ndayira Mukama Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo, Omutonzi w’eggulu n’ensi,
And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,
23 sijja kutwala wadde akawuzi oba akakoba akasiba engatto, oba ekintu kyonna ekikyo, oleme okugamba nti, ‘Ngaggawazza Ibulaamu.’
that I will not take a thread nor a shoelatchet nor aught that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
24 Sijja kubaako kye ntwala; okuggyako ebyo abavubuka bye balidde, n’omugabo gw’abasajja abaagenda nange; leka Aneri ne Esukoli ne Mamule bo batwale omugabo gwabwe.”
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.
