Postanak 14
1 A kad bješe Amarfal car Senarski, Arioh car Elasarski, Hodologomor car Elamski i Targal car Gojimski,
In those days Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim
2 Zavojštiše na Valu cara Sodomskoga, i na Varsu cara Gomorskoga, i na Senara cara Adamskoga, i na Simovora cara Sevojimskoga i na cara od Valake, koja je sada Sigor.
went to war against Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).
3 Svi se ovi skupiše u dolini Sidimskoj, koja je sada slano more.
The latter five came as allies to the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea ).
4 Dvanaest godina bjehu služili Hodologomoru, pa trinaeste godine odmetnuše se.
For twelve years they had been subject to Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
5 A èetrnaeste godine doðe Hodologomor i carevi koji bijahu s njim, i pobiše Rafaje u Astarotu Karnajimskom i Zuzeje u Amu i Omeje u polju Kirijatajskom,
In the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer and the kings allied with him went out and defeated the Rephaites in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
6 I Horeje u planini njihovoj Siru do ravnice Faranske pokraj pustinje.
and the Horites in the area of Mount Seir, as far as El-paran, which is near the desert.
7 Otuda vrativši se doðoše u En-Mispat, koji je sada Kadis, i isjekoše sve koji življahu u zemlji Amalièkoj, i Amoreje koji življahu u Asason-Tamaru.
Then they turned back to invade En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and they conquered the whole territory of the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar.
8 Tada izide car Sodomski i car Gomorski i car Adamski i car Sevojimski i car od Valake, koja je sada Sigor, izidoše na njih u dolinu Sidimsku,
Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) marched out and arrayed themselves for battle in the Valley of Siddim
9 Na Hodologomora cara Elamskoga, i na Targala cara Gojimskoga, i na Amarfala cara Senarskoga, i na Arioha cara Elasarskoga, èetiri cara na pet.
against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five.
10 A u dolini Sidimskoj bijaše mnogo rupa iz kojih se vadila smola; i pobježe car Sodomski i car Gomorski, i ondje padoše, a što osta pobježe u planinu.
Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some men fell into the pits, but the survivors fled to the hill country.
11 I uzeše sve blago u Sodomu i Gomoru i svu hranu njihovu, i otidoše.
The four kings seized all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food, and they went on their way.
12 Uzeše i Lota, sinovca Avramova, i blago njegovo, i otidoše, jer življaše u Sodomu.
They also carried off Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since Lot was living in Sodom.
13 A doðe jedan koji bješe utekao, te javi Avramu Jevrejinu, koji življaše u ravni Mamrija Amorejina, brata Esholu i brata Avnanu, koji bjehu u vjeri s Avramom.
Then an escapee came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew. Now Abram was living near the Oaks of Mamre the Amorite, a brother of Eshcol and Aner, all of whom were bound by treaty to Abram.
14 A kad Avram èu da mu se zarobio sinovac, naoruža sluge svoje, trista osamnaest, koji se rodiše u njegovoj kuæi, i poðe u potjeru do Dana.
And when Abram heard that his relative had been captured, he mobilized the 318 trained men born in his household, and they set out in pursuit as far as Dan.
15 Ondje razredivši svoje udari na njih noæu sa slugama svojim, i razbi ih, i otjera ih do Hovala, koji je na lijevo od Damaska,
During the night, Abram divided his forces and routed Chedorlaomer’s army, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.
16 I povrati sve blago; povrati i Lota sinovca svojega s blagom njegovijem, i žene i ljude.
He retrieved all the goods, as well as his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the rest of the people.
17 A car Sodomski izide mu na susret kad se vrati razbivši Hodologomora i careve što bijahu s njim, u dolinu Savinu, koje je sada dolina careva.
After Abram returned from defeating Chedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).
18 A Melhisedek car Salimski iznese hljeb i vino; a on bijaše sveštenik Boga višnjega.
Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine—since he was priest of God Most High —
19 I blagoslovi ga govoreæi: blagosloven da je Avram Bogu višnjemu, èije je nebo i zemlja!
and he blessed Abram and said: “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,
20 I blagosloven da je Bog višnji, koji predade neprijatelje tvoje u ruke tvoje! I dade mu Avram desetak od svega.
and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything.
21 A car Sodomski reèe Avramu: daj meni ljude, a blago uzmi sebi.
The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, but take the goods for yourself.”
22 A Avram reèe caru Sodomskom: dižem ruku svoju ka Gospodu Bogu višnjemu, èije je nebo i zemlja, zaklinjuæi se:
But Abram replied to the king of Sodom, “I have raised my hand to the LORD God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,
23 Ni konca ni remena od obuæe neæu uzeti od svega što je tvoje, da ne reèeš: ja sam obogatio Avrama;
that I will not accept even a thread, or a strap of a sandal, or anything that belongs to you, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’
24 Osim što su pojeli momci, i osim dijela ljudima koji su išli sa mnom, Esholu, Avnanu i Mamriju, oni neka uzmu svoj dio.
I will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and the share for the men who went with me—Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. They may take their portion.”
