Kenehi 14
1 Na, i nga ra o Amarapera, Kingi o Hinara, o Arioka, kingi o Eratara, o Keroraoma, kingi o Erama, o Tirara hoki, kingi o Korimi;
And it came to pass in the reign of Amarphal king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, that Chodollogomor king of Elam, and Thargal king of nations,
2 Ka whawhai enei ki a Pera, kingi o Horoma, ratou ko Pireta, kingi o Komora, ko Hinapa, kingi o Arema, ko Hemepera, kingi o Tepoimi, ko te kingi hoki o Pera, ara o Toara.
made war with Balla king of Sodom, and with Barsa king of Gomorrha, and with Sennaar, king of Adama, and with Symobor king of Seboim and the king of Balac, this is Segor.
3 I huihui katoa enei ki te raorao i Hirimi, ara ki te Moana Tote.
All these met with one consent at the salt valley; this is [now] the sea of salt.
4 Kotahi tekau ma rua nga tau i mahi ai ratou ki a Keroraoma, a i te kotahi tekau ma toru o nga tau ka whakakeke ratou.
Twelve years they served Chodollogomor, and the thirteenth year they revolted.
5 Na i te tekau ma wha o nga tau ka haere mai a Keroraoma, ratou ko nga kingi i whakauru ki a ia, a patua iho e ratou nga Repaima i Ahateroto Karanaima, ratou ko nga Tutimi i Hama me nga Emime i Hawe Kiriataima,
And in the fourteenth year came Chodollogomor, and the kings with him, and cut to pieces the giants in Astaroth, and Carnain, and strong nations with them, and the Ommaeans in the city Save.
6 Me nga Hori i to ratou maunga, i Heira, a tae noa ki Ereparana, ki te taha o te koraha.
And the Chorrhaeans in the mountains of Seir, to the turpentine tree of Pharan, which is in the desert.
7 Na ka hoki ratou, a ka tae ki Enimihipata, ara ki Karehe, a patua katoatia ana e ratou te whenua o nga Amareki, ratou ko nga Amori i noho ra i Hatetonatamara.
And having turned back they came to the well of judgment; this is Cades, and they cut in pieces all the princes of Amalec, and the Amorites dwelling in Asasonthamar.
8 Na ka puta atu te kingi o Horoma, ratou ko te kingi o Komora, ko te kingi o Arema, ko te kingi o Tepoimi, me te kingi o Pera, ara o Toara; a ka turia e ratou he pakanga ki a ratou ki te raorao i Hirimi;
And the king of Sodom went out, and the king of Gomorrha, and king of Adama, and king of Seboim, and king of Balac, this is Segor, and they set themselves in array against them for war in the salt valley,
9 Ki a Keroraoma, kingi o Erama, ki a Tirara, kingi o Koimi, ki a Amarapera, kingi o Hinara, ratou ko Arioka, kingi o Eratara, tokowha enei kingi, tokorima hoki era.
against Chodollogomor king of Elam, and Thargal king of nations, and Amarphal king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, the four kings against the five.
10 Na, ki tonu te raorao i Hirimi i te poka uku; na ka whati nga kingi o Horoma raua ko Komora, a ka hinga ki reira; a rere ana nga morehu ki te maunga.
Now the salt valley [consists of] slime-pits. And the king of Sodom fled and the king of Gomorrha, and they fell in there: and they that were left fled to the mountain country.
11 Na murua ana e ratou nga taonga katoa o Horoma, o Komora, me a ratou kai katoa, a haere ana.
And they took all the cavalry of Sodom and Gomorrha, and all their provisions, and departed.
12 I mauria ano e ratou a Rota, te tama a te teina o Aperama, me ona taonga, a haere ana; i Horoma hoki ia e noho ana.
And they took also Lot the son of Abram's brother, and his baggage, and departed, for he lived in Sodom.
13 Na ka tae he morehu, ka korero ki a Aperama Hiperu; i te noho hoki ia i nga oki o Mamere Amori, teina o Ehekora, he teina ia no Anera: kotahi ano to ratou whakaaro ko Aperama.
And one of them that had been rescued came and told Abram the Hebrew; and he lived by the oak of Mamre the Amorite the brother of Eschol, and the brother of Aunan, who were confederates with Abram.
14 A, i te rongonga o Aperama, kua hereherea atu tona iramutu, takiritia ana e ia ana tangata mohio, nga mea i whanau ki tona whare, e toru rau kotahi tekau ma waru, a whaia ana ratou ki Rana.
And Abram having heard that Lot his nephew had been taken captive, numbered his own home-born [servants] three hundred and eighteen, and pursued after them to Dan.
15 Na wahia ana ratou ko ana tangata kia rua nga matua, hei whakaeke mo ratou i te po, a patua ana ratou e ia, whaia ana, a tae noa ki Hopaha, ki te taha ki maui o Ramahiku.
And he came upon them by night, he and his servants, and he struck them and pursued them as far as Choba, which is on the left of Damascus.
16 A whakahokia mai ana e ia nga taonga katoa, whakahokia mai ana ano hoki tona iramutu, a Rota, me ona taonga, me nga wahine ano hoki, me nga tangata.
And he recovered all the cavalry of Sodom, and he recovered Lot his nephew, and all his possessions, and the women and the people.
17 Na ka puta mai te kingi o Horoma ki te whakatau i a ia i tona hokinga mai i te patu i a Keroraoma ratou ko ona hoa, ko nga kingi ki te raorao o Hawe, ara ki te Raorao o te Kingi.
And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter of Chodollogomor, and the kings with him, to the valley of Saby; this was the plain of the kings.
18 A i maua mai e Merekihereke, e te kingi o Harema, he taro, he waina: he tohunga ano hoki ia no te Atua, no te Runga Rawa.
And Melchisedec king of Salem brought forth loaves and wine, and he was the priest of the most high God.
19 Na ka manaaki ia i a ia, ka mea, Kia manaakitia a Aperama e te Atua, e te Runga Rawa, nona nei te rangi me te whenua:
And he blessed Abram, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, who made heaven and earth,
20 Kia manaakitia ano te Atua, te Runga Rawa, nana nei i tuku mai ou hoariri ki tou ringa. A ka hoatu e ia ki a ia nga whakatekau o nga mea katoa.
and blessed be the most high God who delivered your enemies into your power. And Abram gave him the tithe of all.
21 Na ka mea te kingi o Horoma ki a Aperama, Homai nga tangata ki ahau, ko nga taonga ia tangohia mou.
And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the men, and take the horses to yourself.
22 Ano ra ko Aperama ki te kingi o Horoma, Kua totoro atu toku ringa ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua, ki te Runga Rawa, nona nei te rangi me te whenua;
And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I will stretch out my hand to the Lord the most high God, who made the heaven and the earth,
23 E kore ahau e tango ahakoa he miro, ahakoa he here no te hu, i tetahi mea ranei au, kei mea koe, naku a Aperama i whai taonga ai:
[that] I will not take from all your goods from a string to a shoe-latchet, lest you should say, I have made Abram rich.
24 Kati ano i a nga taitama i kai ai, me te wahi a nga tangata i haere tahi nei matou, a Anera, ratou ko Ehekora, ko Mamere; ma ratou e tango te wahi i a ratou.
Except what things the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men that went with me, Eschol, Aunan, Mambre, these shall take a portion.
