In the days of 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.
they made war with Bera, king of Sodom [Burning], and with Birsha, king of Gomorrah [Rebellious people, Tyrants], Shinab, king of Admah, and Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar [Small]).
3 Svi se ovi skupiše u dolini Sidimskoj, koja je sada slano more.
All these joined together in the valley of Siddim (also called the Salt Sea).
4 Dvanaest godina bjehu služili Hodologomoru, pa trinaeste godine odmetnuše se.
They served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and 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 came, and the kings who were with him, and struck the Rephaim [Descendants of Terrible one] in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham [Hot, Intensity, Passion], and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
6 I Horeje u planini njihovoj Siru do ravnice Faranske pokraj pustinje.
and the Horites in their Mount Seir, to El Paran, which is by the wilderness.
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.
They returned, and came to En Mishpat (also called Kadesh), and struck all the country of the Amalekites [Descendants of Man who licks up], and also the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], that lived in Hazazon Tamar [Palm tree].
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,
The king of Sodom [Burning], and the king of Gomorrah [Rebellious people, Tyrants], and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar [Small]) went out; and they set the battle in array against them 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, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the 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 the kings of Sodom [Burning] and Gomorrah [Rebellious people, Tyrants] fled, and some fell there, and those who remained fled to the hills.
11 I uzeše sve blago u Sodomu i Gomoru i svu hranu njihovu, i otidoše.
They took all the goods of Sodom [Burning] and Gomorrah [Rebellious people, Tyrants], and all their food, and went their way.
12 Uzeše i Lota, sinovca Avramova, i blago njegovo, i otidoše, jer življaše u Sodomu.
They took Lot [Veil, Covering], Avram [Exalted father]’s brother’s son, who lived in Sodom [Burning], and his goods, and departed.
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.
One who had escaped came and told Avram [Exalted father], the Hebrew [Immigrant]. At that time, he lived by the oaks of Mamre [Bitter, Fatness], the Amorite [Descendants of Talkers], brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and they were allies of Avram [Exalted father].
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.
When Avram [Exalted father] sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that his relative was taken captive, he led out his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan [He judged].
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,
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 [Bucket of blood].
16 I povrati sve blago; povrati i Lota sinovca svojega s blagom njegovijem, i žene i ljude.
He brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative, Lot [Veil, Covering], and his goods, and the women also, and the other 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.
The king of Sodom [Burning] 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 A Melhisedek car Salimski iznese hljeb i vino; a on bijaše sveštenik Boga višnjega.
Malki-Tzedek king of Shalem [My king Righteousness king of City peace] brought out bread and wine. He was a priest of El 'Elyon [God Most High],
19 I blagoslovi ga govoreæi: blagosloven da je Avram Bogu višnjemu, èije je nebo i zemlja!
so he blessed him saying, “Blessed be Avram [Exalted father] of El 'Elyon [God Most High], possessor 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 El 'Elyon [God Most High], who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Avram [Exalted father] gave him a tenth of all.
21 A car Sodomski reèe Avramu: daj meni ljude, a blago uzmi sebi.
The king of Sodom [Burning] said to Avram [Exalted father], “Give me the people, and 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:
Avram [Exalted father] said to the king of Sodom [Burning], “I have lifted up my hand to Adonai, El 'Elyon [Yahweh, God Most High], possessor 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 take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Avram [Exalted father] 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 from you except that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre [Bitter, Fatness]. Let them take their portion.”
