Uumama 14

1 Bara sana keessa Amraafel mootiin Shineʼaar, Ariyook mootiin Elaasaar, Kedoorlaaʼomer mootiin Eelaamii fi Tidiʼaal mootiin Sabootaa kaʼanii,

Now it happened in that time that Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Pontus, and Chedorlaomer, king of the Elamites, and Tidal, king of the Nations,

2 Beraa mooticha Sodoom, Birishaa mooticha Gomoraa, Shinaab mooticha Adimaa, Shemeeber mooticha Zebooʼiimii fi mooticha Belaa ishee Zoʼaar jedhamtu sanaa loluu dhaqan.

went to war against Bera, king of Sodom, and against Birsha, king of Gomorrah, and against Shinab, king of Admah, and against Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and against the king of Bela, that is Zoar.

3 Mootonni shanan kunneen hundi sulula Siidiim isa Galaana Soogiddaa jedhamu keessatti wal gaʼanii humna tokkummaa uummatan.

All these came together in the wooded valley, which is now the Sea of Salt.

4 Isaanis waggaa kudha shan Kedoorlaaʼomer jalatti bulan; waggaa kudha sadaffaatti garuu ni fincilan.

For they had served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they withdrew from him.

5 Waggaa kudha afuraffaatti Kedoorlaaʼomerii fi mootonni isa wajjin turan baʼanii warra Refaayiim Ashteroot Qaarnaayimiitti, warra Zuuziim Haamitti, warra Eemiim Shaawii Kiriyaataayimiitti,

Therefore, in the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer arrived, and the kings who were with him. And they struck the Rephaim at Ashteroth of the two horns, and the Zuzim with them, and the Emim at Shaveh-Kiriathaim.

6 warra Hoori immoo lafa gaara Seeʼiiriitii jalqabanii hamma Eel Phaaraan kan gammoojjiitti dhiʼoo jiru sanaatti moʼatan.

and the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the plains of Paran, which is in the wilderness.

7 Ergasii of irra deebiʼanii Een Mishiphaati jechuunis Qaadesh dhaqanii biyya warra Amaaleq hundaa fi warra Amoor kanneen Hazezoon Taamaar keessa jiraatan humnaan qabatan.

And they returned and arrived at the fountain of Mishpat, which is Kadesh. And they struck the entire region of the Amalekites, and the Amorites who dwelt in Hazazontamar.

8 Mootichi Sodoom, mootichi Gomoraa, mootichi Adimaa, mootichi Zebooʼiimii fi mootichi Belaa jechuunis Zoʼaar baʼanii Sulula Siidiim keessatti loluuf hiriiran.

And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and indeed the king of Bela, which is Zoar, went forth. And they directed their point against them in the wooded valley,

9 Isaanis Kedoorlaaʼomer mootii Eelaam, Tidiʼaal mootii Sabootaa, Amraafel mootii Shineʼaariitii fi Ariyook mootii Elaasaar lolan; mootonni afran kunneen mootota shananiin morman.

namely, against Chedorlaomer, king of the Elamites, and Tidal, king of the Nations, and Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Pontus: four kings against five.

10 Sululli Siidiim boolla leeleetiin guutamee ture; mootonni Sodoomii fi mootonni Gomoraas baqatanii namoonni tokko tokko boolla sana keessa buʼan; warri hafan immoo gara gaarraniitti baqatan.

Now the wooded valley had many pits of bitumen. And so the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah turned back and they fell there. And those who remained, fled to the mountain.

11 Mootonni afran sun miʼaa fi nyaata warra Sodoomii fi Gomoraa hunda saamanii sokkan.

Then they took all the substance of the Sodomites and the Gomorrhites, and all that pertained to food, and they went away,

12 Waan Loox ilmi obboleessa Abraam Sodoom keessa jiraachaa tureef mootonni sun isa illee qabeenyuma isaa wajjin boojiʼanii deeman.

along with both Lot, the son of Abram’s brother, who lived in Sodom, and his substance.

13 Namichi baqatee baʼe tokko dhufee oduu kana Abraam Ibrichatti hime. Abraamis qilxuuwwan Mamree kan namicha Amoorii sana bira jiraachaa ture; Mamreen kun obboleessa Eshkoolii fi Aaneer ture; isaan Abraam wajjin kakuu galanii turan.

And behold, one who had escaped reported it to Abram the Hebrew, who lived in the steep valley of Mamre the Amorite, who was the brother of Eshcol, and the brother of Aner. For these had formed an agreement with Abram.

14 Abraam akka firri isaa boojiʼame dhageenyaan namoota mana isaatti dhalatanii leenjifaman 318 walitti waammatee hidhachiisee hamma Daaniitti faana buʼe.

When Abram had heard this, namely, that his brother Lot had been taken captive, he numbered three hundred and eighteen of his own armed men and he went in pursuit all the way to Dan.

15 Abraamis isaan loluuf jedhee halkaniin namoota isaa gargari qoode; hamma Hoobaa ishee kaaba Damaasqootti argamtu sanaattis faana buʼee isaan dhaʼe.

And dividing his company, he rushed upon them in the night. And he struck them and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.

16 Innis miʼa hunda deebifate; fira ofii isaa Looxii fi qabeenya isaa, dubartootaa fi namoota kaanis deebifate.

And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his brother, with his substance, likewise the women and the people.

17 Abraam Kedoorlaaʼomeri fi mootota isa wajjin turan moʼatee deebinaan mootiin Sodoom Sulula Shaawii kan Sulula Mootii jedhamu keessatti isa simachuu baʼe.

Then the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter at Chedorlaomer, and the kings who were with him at the valley of Shaveh, which is the valley of the king.

18 Malkiiseedeq mootiin Saaleemis buddeenaa fi daadhii wayinii fideef; innis luba Waaqayyo Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii ture;

Then in truth, Melchizedek, the king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine, for he was a priest of the Most High God;

19 innis akkana jedhee Abraamin eebbise; “Abraam, Waaqayyo Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii, isa samii fi lafa uume sanaan haa eebbifamu.

he blessed him, and he said: “Blessed be Abram by the Most High God, who created heaven and earth.

20 Waaqayyo Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii, inni diinota kee dabarsee harka keetti kenne sun haa eebbifamu.” Ergasii Abraam waan hunda irraa kudhan keessaa tokko isaaf kenne.

And blessed be the Most High God, through whose protection the enemies are in your hands.” And he gave him tithes from everything.

21 Mootiin Sodoomis Abraamiin, “Namoota naa kenniitii qabeenya immoo ofii keetii fudhadhu” jedhe.

Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me these souls, and take the rest for yourself.”

22 Abraam garuu mootii Sodoomiitiin akkana jedhe; “Ani harka koo gara Waaqayyo, Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii, Uumaa samiitii fi lafaatti ol fudhadhee kakadheen jira;

And he responded to him: “I lift up my hand to the Lord God, the Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth,

23 akka ati, ‘Anatu Abraamin sooromse’ hin jenneef ani waan kan kee taʼe keessaa tokko iyyuu, foʼaa yookaan teepha ittiin kophee hidhatan iyyuu hin fudhadhu.

that from one thread within a blanket, even to a single shoelace, I will not take anything from that which is yours, lest you say, ‘I have enriched Abram,’

24 Waan namoonni koo nyaatanii fi qooda namoota ana wajjin deemanii jechuunis qooda Aaneer, kan Eshkooliitii fi kan Mamree malee ani ofii koo homaa hin fudhadhu; isaan qooda isaanii haa fudhatan.”

except that which the young men have eaten, and the shares for the men who came with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. These will take their shares.”
