Génesis 14
1 Aconteció en los días de Amrafel, rey de Sinar, Arioc, rey de Elasar, Quedorlaomer, rey de Elam, y Tidal, rey de los Goyim,
Now it happened in that time that Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Pontus, and Chedorlaomer, king of the Elamites, and Tidal, king of the Nations,
2 que estos reyes hicieron guerra contra Bera, rey de Sodoma, Birsa, rey de Gomorra, Sinab, rey de Adma, Semeber, rey de Zeboim, y contra el rey de Bela, la cual es Zoar.
went to war against Bera, king of Sodom, and against Birsha, king of Gomorrah, and against Shinab, king of Admah, and against Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and against the king of Bela, that is Zoar.
3 Todos estos se unieron en el valle de Sidim, que es el mar Salado.
All these came together in the wooded valley, which is now the Sea of Salt.
4 Habían servido a Quedorlaomer 12 años, pero el año 13 se rebelaron.
For they had served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they withdrew from him.
5 El año 14 Quedorlaomer y los reyes que estaban con él llegaron y derrotaron a los refaítas en Astarot-carnaim, a los zuzitas en Ham, a los emitas en Save-quiriataim
Therefore, in the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer arrived, and the kings who were with him. And they struck the Rephaim at Ashteroth of the two horns, and the Zuzim with them, and the Emim at Shaveh-Kiriathaim.
6 y a los hurritas en las montañas de Seír hasta El-parán, que está junto al desierto.
and the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the plains of Paran, which is in the wilderness.
7 Luego se volvieron a En-mispat, o Cades. Arrasaron todo el territorio del amalecita y también el del amorreo, que habitaba en Hazezón-tamar.
And they returned and arrived at the fountain of Mishpat, which is Kadesh. And they struck the entire region of the Amalekites, and the Amorites who dwelt in Hazazontamar.
8 Entonces salieron los reyes de Sodoma, Gomorra, Adma, Zeboim y de Bela, la cual es Zoar. Dispusieron batalla contra ellos en el valle de Sidim,
And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and indeed the king of Bela, which is Zoar, went forth. And they directed their point against them in the wooded valley,
9 esto es, contra Quedorlaomer, rey de Elam, Tidal, rey de los Goyim, Amrafel, rey de Sinar, y Arioc, rey de Elasar, cuatro reyes contra cinco.
namely, against Chedorlaomer, king of the Elamites, and Tidal, king of the Nations, and Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Pontus: four kings against five.
10 El valle de Sidim estaba lleno de pozos de asfalto. Al huir el rey de Sodoma y el de Gomorra, cayeron en ellos, y los que quedaron huyeron hacia la montaña.
Now the wooded valley had many pits of bitumen. And so the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah turned back and they fell there. And those who remained, fled to the mountain.
11 Entonces tomaron todos los bienes de Sodoma y Gomorra, y todo su alimento y salieron.
Then they took all the substance of the Sodomites and the Gomorrhites, and all that pertained to food, and they went away,
12 Tomaron a Lot, sobrino de Abram, y sus bienes, y salieron, pues él vivía en Sodoma.
along with both Lot, the son of Abram’s brother, who lived in Sodom, and his substance.
13 Pero un fugitivo fue e informó a Abram el hebreo, pues él vivía en el robledal de Mamre. El amorreo, hermano de Escol y hermano de Aner, habían hecho un pacto con Abram.
And behold, one who had escaped reported it to Abram the Hebrew, who lived in the steep valley of Mamre the Amorite, who was the brother of Eshcol, and the brother of Aner. For these had formed an agreement with Abram.
14 Cuando Abram oyó que su pariente fue llevado cautivo, movilizó a 318 de sus esclavos nacidos en su casa, y los persiguió hasta Dan.
When Abram had heard this, namely, that his brother Lot had been taken captive, he numbered three hundred and eighteen of his own armed men and he went in pursuit all the way to Dan.
15 Él y sus esclavos se desplegaron contra ellos de noche y los atacaron. Los persiguieron hasta Hoba, que está al norte de Damasco.
And dividing his company, he rushed upon them in the night. And he struck them and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
16 Recuperó todos los bienes, y también a su pariente Lot y sus bienes, así como a las mujeres y al pueblo.
And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his brother, with his substance, likewise the women and the people.
17 Cuando [Abram] regresaba de derrotar a Quedorlaomer y a los reyes que estaban con él, el rey de Sodoma salió a su encuentro en el valle de Savé, que es el valle del Rey.
Then the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter at Chedorlaomer, and the kings who were with him at the valley of Shaveh, which is the valley of the king.
18 Pero Melquisedec, rey de Salem, sacerdote del ʼElohim Altísimo, sacó pan y vino,
Then in truth, Melchizedek, the king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine, for he was a priest of the Most High God;
19 y lo bendijo: ¡Sea bendecido Abram por el ʼElohim Altísimo, Creador de los cielos y de la tierra,
he blessed him, and he said: “Blessed be Abram by the Most High God, who created heaven and earth.
20 Y bendito sea el ʼElohim Altísimo, Quien entregó a tus adversarios en tu mano! Y [Abram] le entregó el diezmo de todo.
And blessed be the Most High God, through whose protection the enemies are in your hands.” And he gave him tithes from everything.
21 Entonces el rey de Sodoma dijo a Abram: Dame las personas y toma para ti los bienes.
Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me these souls, and take the rest for yourself.”
22 Pero Abram respondió al rey de Sodoma: Levanté mi mano a Yavé el ʼElohim Altísimo, Creador de los cielos y de la tierra,
And he responded to him: “I lift up my hand to the Lord God, the Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth,
23 que de todo lo que es tuyo, no tomaré ni un hilo ni una correa de sandalia para que no digas: Yo enriquecí a Abram,
that from one thread within a blanket, even to a single shoelace, I will not take anything from that which is yours, lest you say, ‘I have enriched Abram,’
24 con la sola excepción de lo que comieron los jóvenes, y la porción de Aner, Escol y Mamre, los hombres que vinieron conmigo. Solo ellos tomarán su parte.
except that which the young men have eaten, and the shares for the men who came with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. These will take their shares.”
