Gênesis 14
1 E aconteceu nos dias de Amraphel, rei de Shinar, Arioch, rei de Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, rei de Elam, e Tidal, rei de Goiim,
In a region to the east, there were four kings [who were friends/allies]. They were King Amraphel of Babylonia, King Arioch of Ellasar, King Chedorlaomer of Elam, and King Tidal of Goiim.
2 Que estes fizeram guerra a Bera, rei de Sodoma, a Birsha, rei de Gomorrah, a Shinab, rei de Admah, e a Shemeber, rei de Zeboiim, e ao rei de Bela (esta é Zoar).
In an area to the west, there were five other kings. They were King Bera of Sodom, King Birsha of Gomorrah, King Shinab of Admah, King Shemeber of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, the city that is now called Zoar.
3 Todos estes se ajuntaram no valle de Siddim (que é o mar de sal).
Those five kings and their armies gathered together in Siddim Valley, which is also called the Dead Sea [Valley], to fight against the four kings and their armies. King Chedorlaomer and his army [conquered the armies of those five kings, and demanded that those kings pay him tribute money each year].
4 Doze annos haviam servido a Chedorlaomer, mas ao decimo terceiro anno rebelaram-se.
For twelve years he ruled them. But during the thirteenth year they rebelled [and refused to keep giving him tribute money].
5 E ao decimo quarto anno veiu Chedorlaomer, e os reis que estavam com elle, e feriram aos Rephains em Ashteroth-karnaim, e aos Zuzins em Ham, e aos Emins em Shave-kiriathaim,
The next year, King Chedorlaomer and the other kings that were his allies took their armies and defeated the Repha people-group in Ashteroth-Karnaim and the Zuz people-group in Ham, and the Emi people-group in Shaveh-Kiriathaim.
6 E aos Horeos no seu monte Seir, até á campina de Paran, que está junto ao deserto.
They also defeated the Hor people-group in the hilly area of Seir as far as El-Paran near the desert.
7 Lepois tornaram e vieram a Enmispat (que é Cades), e feriram toda a terra dos Amalekitas, e tambem os Amoreos, que habitavam em Hazazon-tamar.
Then they turned back and went to Mishpat [city], which is now called Kadesh. They conquered all the land belonging to the Amalek people-group and the Amor people-group who were living in Hazazon-Tamar [town].
8 Então saiu o rei de Sodoma, e o rei de Gomorrah, e o rei de Admah, e o rei de Zeboiim, e o rei de Bela (esta é Zoar), e ordenaram batalha contra elles no valle de Siddim,
Then the armies of the kings of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Bela marched out to fight the armies of the other four kings in Siddim Valley. That valley is close to the Salt/Dead Sea.
9 Contra Chedorlaomer, rei de Elam, e Tidal, rei de Goiim, e Amraphel, rei de Shinar, e Arioch, rei de Ellasar; quatro reis contra cinco.
They fought against the armies of Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, Tidal the king of Goiim, Amraphel the king of Shinar, and Arioch the king of Ellasar. The armies of four kings were fighting against the armies of five kings.
10 E o valle de Siddim estava cheio de poços de betume: e fugiram os reis de Sodoma, e de Gomorrah, e cairam ali; e os restantes fugiram para um monte.
The Siddim Valley was full of tar pits. So when the armies of the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah tried to run away, many of the men fell into the tar pits. The others escaped and ran away to the hills.
11 E tomaram toda a fazenda de Sodoma, e de Gomorrah, e todo o seu mantimento, e foram-se.
As [the armies of the five kings] fled, [the armies of the four kings] seized all of the valuable things in Sodom and Gomorrah, including all the food.
12 Tambem tomaram a Lot, que habitava em Sodoma, filho do irmão de Abrão, e a sua fazenda, e foram-se.
They also captured Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom at that time.
13 Então veiu um que escapára, e o contou a Abrão, o Hebreu: elle habitava junto dos carvalhaes de Mamre, o Amoreo, irmão de Eshcol, e irmão de Aner; elles eram confederados de Abrão.
Abram was living near the big trees near Mamre, who belonged to the Amor people-group. Abram had made an agreement with Mamre and his two brothers, Eshcol and Aner, [that they would help each other if there was a war].
14 Ouvindo pois Abrão que o seu irmão estava preso, armou os seus creados, nascidos em sua casa, trezentos e dezoito, e os perseguiu até Dan.
One of the men who escaped from the battle told Abram what had happened and that his nephew Lot had been captured and taken away. So Abram summoned 318 men who were his servants, men who had been with Abram since they were born. They all went together and pursued their enemies as far north as Dan [city].
15 E dividiu-se contra elles de noite, elle e os seus creados, e os feriu, e os perseguiu até Hobah, que fica á esquerda de Damasco.
During the night, Abram divided the men into several groups, and they attacked their enemies from various directions and defeated them. They pursued them as far as Hobah, which was north of Damascus [city].
16 E tornou a trazer toda a fazenda, e tornou a trazer tambem a Lot, seu irmão, e a sua fazenda, e tambem as mulheres, e o povo.
Abram’s men recovered all of the goods that had been taken. They also rescued Lot and all his possessions and also the women and others who had been captured by their enemies.
17 E o rei de Sodoma saiu-lhe ao encontro (depois que voltou de ferir a Chedorlaomer e aos reis que estavam com elle) até ao valle de Schave, que é o valle do rei.
As Abram was returning home after he and his men had defeated the armies of King Chedorlaomer and the other kings who had fought alongside him, the king of Sodom went north to meet him in Shaveh Valley, which people call the King’s Valley.
18 E Melchizedec, rei de Salem, trouxe pão e vinho: e era este sacerdote do Deus altissimo.
The king of Salem [city], whose name was Melchizedek, was also a priest who offered sacrifices to the Supreme God. He brought some bread and wine to Abram.
19 E abençoou-o, e disse: Bemdito seja Abrão de Deus altissimo, o Possuidor dos céus e da terra;
Then he blessed Abram, saying “I ask the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth, to bless you.
20 E bemdito seja o Deus altissimo, que entregou os teus inimigos nas tuas mãos. E deu-lhe o dizimo de tudo.
The Supreme God has enabled you to defeat [MTY] your enemies, so we should praise/thank him.” Then Abram gave to Melchizedek a tenth part of all the things he had captured.
21 E o rei de Sodoma disse a Abrão: Dá-me a mim as almas, e a fazenda toma para ti.
The king of Sodom said to Abram, “You can keep all the goods you recovered. Just let me take back the people from my city whom you rescued.”
22 Abrão, porém, disse ao rei de Sodoma: Levantei minha mão ao Senhor, o Deus altissimo, o Possuidor dos céus e da terra,
But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have solemnly promised [MTY] to Yahweh, the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth,
23 Que desde um fio até á correia de um sapato, não tomarei coisa alguma de tudo o que é teu: para que não digas: Eu enriqueci a Abrão;
that I will not accept even one thread or a thong of a sandal from anything that belongs to you. As a result, you will never be able to say, ‘I caused Abram to become rich.’
24 Salvo tão sómente o que os mancebos comeram, e a parte que toca aos varões que commigo foram, Aner, Escol, e Mamre; estes que tomem a sua parte.
The only thing I will accept is the food that my men have eaten. But Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre went with me and fought alongside me, so let them also have a share of the goods we brought back.” [So the king of Sodom agreed to what he said].
