उत्पत्ति 14
1 यो अम्रापेल, एल्लासारका राजा अर्योक र एलाममा राजा कदोर्लाओमेर र गोयीमका राजा तिदालको समयमा भएको थियो ।
In the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar; Arioch, king of Ellasar; Chedorlaomer, king of Elam; and Tidal, king of Goiim,
2 तिनीहरूले सदोमका राजा बेरा, गमोराका राजा बिर्शा, अद्माका राजा शिनाब, सबोयिमका राजा शेमेबेर र बेला (अर्थात् सोअरका) विरुद्ध युद्ध गरे ।
they made war with Bera, king of Sodom; Birsha, king of Gomorrah; Shinab, king of Admah; Shemeber, king of Zeboiim; and the king of Bela (also called Zoar).
3 यी पछिल्ला पाँच जना राजाहरू सिद्दीम अर्थात् मृत सागरको बेँसीमा भेला भए ।
All these joined together in the valley of Siddim (also called the Salt Sea).
4 तिनीहरूले बाह्र वर्षसम्म कदर्लाओमेरको सेवा गरे तर तेह्रौँ वर्षमा तिनीहरूले विद्रोह गरे ।
They served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
5 अनि चौधौँ वर्षमा, कदोर्लाओमेर र तिनीसित भएका राजाहरू आए र अस्तेरोत-केर्णेममा रपाईहरूलाई, हाममा जूजीहरूलाई, शावेकिर्यातैममा एमीहरूलाई,
In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and struck the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
6 र होरीहरूलाई सेइरको पहाडी देशमा मरुभूमि नजिक रहेको एल-पारानसम्म आक्रमण गरे ।
and the Horites in their Mount Seir, to El Paran, which is by the wilderness.
7 त्यपछि तिनीहरू फर्के र एन-मिशपातमा (अर्थात् कादेशमा) आए अनि अमालेकीहरूका सबै देशहरू र हासेसोन-तामारमा बस्ने एमोरीहरूलाई पराजीत गरे ।
They returned, and came to En Mishpat (also called Kadesh), and struck all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that lived in Hazazon Tamar.
8 त्यसपछि सदोमका राजा, गमोराका राजा, अदमाका राजा, सबोयिमका राजा र बेला (अर्थात् सोअरका) राजा निस्के अनि सिद्दीमको बेँसीमा युद्धको निम्ति तयार भए ।
The king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar) went out; and they set the battle in array against them in the valley of Siddim
9 एलामका राजा कदोर्लाओमेर, गोयीमका राजा तिदाल, शिनारका राजा अम्रापेल, एल्लासारका राजा अर्योक; पाँच राजाका विरिद्ध चार राजा ।
against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
10 सिद्दीमको बेँसी अलकत्राको धापले भरिएको थियो, र सदोम र गमोराका राजाहरू भागे, तिनीहरू त्यसमा खसे । बाँकी रहेकाहरू पहाडतिर भागे ।
Now the valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and some fell there. Those who remained fled to the hills.
11 यसैले राजाहरू सदोम र गमोराका सबै मालसामानहरू, तिनीहरूका रासनहरू लगे र आफ्नो बाटो लागे ।
They took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went their way.
12 जब तिनीहरू गए, तिनीहरूले अब्रामका भाइका छोरा लोतलाई पनि तिनका सबै मालसामानसँगै लगे, जो सदोममा बसोबास गरिरहेका थिए ।
They took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who lived in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
13 उम्केर आएका एक जानले हिब्रू अब्रामलाई भने । तिनी एश्कोल र अनेरका भाइ मम्रेका फलाँटका रूखहरू नजिक बसिरहेका थिए, तिनीहरू सबै अब्रामका मित्रहरू थिए ।
One who had escaped came and told Abram, the Hebrew. At that time, he lived by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner. They were allies of Abram.
14 जब अब्रामले तिनका नातेदारलाई शत्रुहरूले कब्जा गरेको कुरा सुने, तिनले आफ्ना घरमा नै जन्मेका तालिम प्राप्त ३१८ जना मानिसहरू लिएर तिनले तिनीहरूलाई दानसम्म नै खेदे ।
When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he led out his three hundred and eighteen trained men, born in his house, and pursued as far as Dan.
15 तिनले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई राती तिनीहरू विरुद्ध समूह-समूहमा विभाजन गरे र तिनीहरूलाई आक्रमण गरे अनि तिनीहरूलाई होबासम्म खेदे, जुन दमस्कसको उत्तर पर्छ ।
He divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and struck them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
16 तिनले आफ्ना सबै सम्पत्तिहरू पनि फिर्ता ल्याए र तिनका नातेदार र तिनका मालसामानहरू साथै महिलाहरू र अन्य मानिसहरू पनि ल्याए ।
He brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative Lot and his goods, and the women also, and the other people.
17 अब्रामले कदोर्लाओमेर र तिनीसँग भएका राजाहरूलाई पराजित गरेर फर्केपछि, सदोमका राजा तिनलाई भेट्न शावेको (अर्थात् राजाको उपत्यका) उपत्यकामा गए ।
The king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).
18 शालेमका राजा मल्कीसेदेकले रोटी र दाखमद्य लिएर आए । तिनी सर्वोच्चका पूजाहारी थिए ।
Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High.
19 तिनले उनलाई यसो भन्दै आशोष् दिए, “स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी सृष्टि गर्नु हुने परमेश्वरले अब्रामलाई आशिष् दिनुभएको होस् ।
He blessed him, and said, “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth.
20 सर्वोच्च परमेश्वर धन्यको हौऊन्, जसले तिम्रा शत्रुहरूलाई तिम्रा हातमा सुम्पनुभएको छ ।” तब अब्रामले तिनका सबै थोकको दशांश उनलाई दिए ।
Blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Abram gave him a tenth of all.
21 सदोमका राजाले अब्रामलाई भने, “मानिसहरू मलाई देऊ र सबै मालसामानहरू आफैले लैजाऊ ।
The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, and take the goods for yourself.”
22 अब्रामले सदोमका राजालाई भने, “मैले सर्वोच्च परमेश्वर, स्वर्ग र पृथ्वीका सृष्टिकर्ता परमप्रभुमा शपथ खाएको छु,
Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have lifted up my hand to the LORD, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,
23 मैले तपाईंबाट एउटा धागोम जुत्ताको फित्ता वा कुनै पनि कुरा लिनेछैन, ताकि 'मैले अब्रामलाई धनी बनाएको छु' भनी तपाईंले कहिल्यै भन्न सक्नुहुनेछैन ।
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 मैले जवान मानिसहरूले खाएका र मसँग गएका मानिसहरूका भाग बाहेक कुनै कुरा लिनेछैन । आनेर, एश्कोल र मम्रेले आफ्ना भाग लेऊन् ।
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.”
