Gênesis 14
1 E aconteceu nos dias de Anrafel, rei de Sinear, Arioque, rei de Elasar, Quedorlaomer, rei de Elão, e Tidal, rei de nações,
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 contra Bera, rei de Sodoma, e contra Birsa, rei de Gomorra, e contra Sinabe, rei de Admá, e contra Semeber, rei de Zeboim, e contra o rei de Belá, a qual 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 juntaram no vale de Sidim, que é o mar salgado.
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 anos haviam servido a Quedorlaomer, e ao décimo terceiro ano se rebelaram.
For twelve years he ruled them. But during the thirteenth year they rebelled [and refused to keep giving him tribute money].
5 E no ano décimo quarto veio Quedorlaomer, e os reis que estavam de sua parte, e derrotaram aos refains em Asterote-Carnaim, aos zuzins em Hã, e aos emins em Savé-Quiriataim.
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 horeus no monte de Seir, até a El-Parã, 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 E voltaram e vieram a En-Mispate, que é Cades, e devastaram todas as terras dos amalequitas, e também aos amorreus, que habitavam em Hazazom-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 E saiu o rei de Sodoma, e o rei de Gomorra, e o rei de Admá, e o rei de Zeboim, e o rei de Belá, que é Zoar, e ordenaram contra eles batalha no vale de Sidim;
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 A saber, contra Quedorlaomer, rei de Elão, e Tidal, rei de nações, e Anrafel, rei de Sinear, e Arioque, rei de Elasar; 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 vale de Sidim estava cheio de poços de betume: e fugiram o rei de Sodoma e o de Gomorra, e caíram ali; e os demais fugiram ao 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 riqueza de Sodoma e de Gomorra, e todos os seus mantimentos, e se foram.
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 Tomaram também Ló, filho do irmão de Abrão, que morava em Sodoma, e sua riqueza, e se foram.
They also captured Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom at that time.
13 E veio um dos que escaparam, e denunciou-o a Abrão o hebreu, que habitava no vale de Manre, amorreu, irmão de Escol e irmão de Aner, os quais tinham feito pacto com 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 E ouviu Abrão que seu irmão estava prisioneiro, e armou seus criados, os criados de sua casa, trezentos e dezoito, e seguiu-os até Dã.
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 derramou-se sobre eles de noite ele e seus servos, e feriu-os, e foi os seguindo até Hobá, que está à 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 recuperou todos os bens, e também a Ló seu irmão e sua riqueza, e também as mulheres e gente.
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 saiu o rei de Sodoma a recebê-lo, quando voltava da derrota de Quedorlaomer e dos reis que com ele estavam, ao vale de Savé, que é o vale 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 Então Melquisedeque, rei de Salém, tirou pão e vinho; o qual era sacerdote do Deus altíssimo;
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-lhe, e disse: Bendito seja Abrão do Deus altíssimo, 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 bendito seja o Deus altíssimo, que entregou teus inimigos em tua mão.
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 Então o rei de Sodoma disse a Abrão: Dá-me as pessoas, e toma para ti a riqueza.
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 E respondeu Abrão ao rei de Sodoma: Levantei minha mão ao SENHOR Deus altíssimo, 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 a correia de um calçado, nada tomarei 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 Tirando somente o que os rapazes comeram, e a porção dos homens que foram comigo, Aner, Escol, e Manre; eles 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].
