Genesisi 14

1 Panguva iyoyo Amuraferi mambo weShinari, Arioki mambo weErasa, Kedhoraomeri mambo weEramu naTidhari mambo weGoyimi

It came about in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,

2 vakaenda kundorwa naBhera mambo weSodhomu, Bhirisha mambo weGomora, Shinabhi mambo weAdhima, Shemebheri mambo weZebhoimi, uye namambo weBhera (ndiro Zoari).

that they made war against Bera, king of Sodom, Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, Shemeber, king of Zeboyim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar).

3 Madzimambo ose aya akabatana pakurwa muMupata weSidhimi (ndiro Gungwa roMunyu).

These latter five kings joined together in the Valley of Siddim (also called the Salt Sea).

4 Vakanga vari varanda vaKedhoraomeri kwamakore gumi namaviri, asi vakamumukira mugore regumi namatatu.

Twelve years they had served Kedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

5 Mugore regumi namana, Kedhoraomeri namadzimambo ainzwanana naye vakabuda vakandokunda vaRefaiti muAshiteroti Kanaimi, ivo vaZuzi muHamu, vaEmi muShavhe Kiriataimi

Then in the fourteenth year, Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and attacked the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

6 navaHori munyika yezvikomo yeSeiri, kusvikira kuEri Parani pedyo negwenga.

and the Horites in their hill country of Seir, as far as El Paran, which is near the desert.

7 Ipapo vakadzokera vakaenda kuEni Mishipati (ndiro Kadheshi), uye vakakunda nyika yose yavaAmareki, pamwe chete navaAmori vakanga vachigara muHazazoni Tamari.

Then they turned and came to En Mishpat (also called Kadesh), and defeated all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who lived in Hazezon Tamar.

8 Ipapo mambo weSodhomu, mambo weGomora, mambo weAdhima, mambo weZebhoimi namambo weBhera (ndiro, Saori) vakabuda vakamira panzvimbo yavo yehondo muMupata weSidhimi

Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboyim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar) went out and prepared for battle in the Valley of Siddim

9 kuti varwe naKedhoraomeri mambo weEramu, Tidhari mambo weGoyimi, Amuraferi mambo weShinari naArioki mambo weErasa, madzimambo mana achirwa namadzimambo mashanu.

against Kedorlaomer, king of Elam, Tidal, king of Goiim, Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.

10 Zvino mupata weSidhimi wakanga uzere namakomba etara, uye madzimambo eSodhomu neGomora paakatiza, vamwe varume vakawira maari uye vakasara vakatizira kuzvikomo.

Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, they fell in there. Those who were left fled to the mountains.

11 Madzimambo mana aya akatora pfuma yose yeSodhomu neGomora nezvokudya zvavo zvose vakaenda.

So the kings took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their provisions, and went their way.

12 Vakatorawo Roti mwanakomana womununʼuna waAbhurama nepfuma yake, sezvo akanga achigara muSodhomu.

When they went, they also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who was living in Sodom, along with all his possessions.

13 Mumwe akapunyuka akauya akasvikoudza Abhurama muHebheru. Zvino Abhurama akanga achigara pedyo nemiti mikuru yaMamure muAmori, mununʼuna waEshikori naAneri, avo vose vainzwanana naAbhurama.

One who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew. He was living by the oaks that belonged to Mamre, the Amorite, who was the brother of Eshkol and Aner, who were all allies of Abram.

14 Abhurama akati anzwa kuti hama yake yakanga yatapwa, akadana varume vakanga vadzidziswa kurwa mazana matatu negumi navasere vakaberekerwa mumba make vakavatevera kusvikira paDhani.

Now when Abram heard that enemies had captured his relative, he led out his 318 trained men who had been born in his house, and he pursued them as far as Dan.

15 Abhurama akapatsanura vanhu vake panguva dzousiku kuti vandovarwisa, uye vakavakunda, vakavatevera kusvikira paHobhabhi, kumusoro kweDhamasiko.

He divided his men against them at night and attacked them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is north of Damascus.

16 Akadzosa zvinhu zvose uye akadzosawo hama yake Roti nepfuma yake, pamwe chete navakadzi navamwe vanhu.

Then he brought back all the possessions, and also brought back his relative Lot and his goods, as well as the women and the other people.

17 Shure kwokudzoka kwaAbhurama akunda Kedhoraomeri namadzimambo akanga abatana naye, mambo weSodhomu akabuda kuti azosangana naye muMupata weShavhe (ndiwo Mupata waMambo).

After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (also called the King's Valley).

18 Ipapo Merikizedheki mambo weSaremu akamuvigira chingwa newaini. Akanga ari muprista waMwari Wokumusoro-soro,

Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High.

19 uye akaropafadza Abhurama, achiti, “Abhurama ngaaropafadzwe naMwari Wokumusoro-soro, Musiki wedenga napasi.

He blessed him saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.

20 Uye Mwari Wokumusoro-soro ngaakudzwe, akaisa vavengi vako muruoko rwako.” Ipapo Abhurama akamupa chegumi chezvinhu zvose.

Blessed be God Most High, who has given your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

21 Mambo weSodhomu akati kuna Abhurama, “Ndipe vanhu uzvichengetere hako pfuma.”

The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, and take the goods for yourself.”

22 Asi Abhurama akati kuna mambo weSodhomu, “Ndakasimudzira ruoko rwangu kuna Jehovha, Mwari Wokumusoro-soro, Musiki wedenga napasi, uye ndakaita mhiko

Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have lifted up my hand to Yahweh, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,

23 kuti handizogamuchiri chinhu chako, kunyange rushinda kana rukanda rweshangu, kuti urege kuzoti, ‘Ndakapfumisa Abhurama.’

that I will not take a thread, a sandal strap, or anything that is yours, so that you can never say, 'I have made Abram rich.'

24 Handina chinhu chandinogamuchira kunze kwezvakadyiwa navanhu vangu uye mugove wavanhu vakaenda neni, Aneri, Shikori naMamure. Ngavatore mugove wavo ivavo.”

I will take nothing except what the young men have eaten and the share of the men that went with me. Let Aner, Eshkol, and Mamre take their portion.”
