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.
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 Todos estos se unieron en el valle de Sidim, que es el mar Salado.
All these joined together in the valley of Siddim (also called the Salt Sea).
4 Habían servido a Quedorlaomer 12 años, pero el año 13 se rebelaron.
They served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and in the thirteenth year, they rebelled.
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
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 y a los hurritas en las montañas de Seír hasta El-parán, que está junto al desierto.
and the Horites in their Mount Seir, to El Paran, which is by 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.
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 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,
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 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.
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 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 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 Entonces tomaron todos los bienes de Sodoma y Gomorra, y todo su alimento y salieron.
They took all the goods of Sodom [Burning] and Gomorrah [Rebellious people, Tyrants], and all their food, and went their way.
12 Tomaron a Lot, sobrino de Abram, y sus bienes, y salieron, pues él vivía en Sodoma.
They took Lot [Veil, Covering], Avram [Exalted father]’s brother’s son, who lived in Sodom [Burning], and his goods, and departed.
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.
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 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 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 Él y sus esclavos se desplegaron contra ellos de noche y los atacaron. Los persiguieron hasta Hoba, que está al norte de Damasco.
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 Recuperó todos los bienes, y también a su pariente Lot y sus bienes, así como a las mujeres y al pueblo.
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 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.
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 Pero Melquisedec, rey de Salem, sacerdote del ʼElohim Altísimo, sacó pan y vino,
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 y lo bendijo: ¡Sea bendecido Abram por el ʼElohim Altísimo, Creador de los cielos y de la tierra,
so he blessed him saying, “Blessed be Avram [Exalted father] of El 'Elyon [God Most High], possessor of 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 El 'Elyon [God Most High], who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Avram [Exalted father] gave him a tenth of all.
21 Entonces el rey de Sodoma dijo a Abram: Dame las personas y toma para ti los bienes.
The king of Sodom [Burning] said to Avram [Exalted father], “Give me the people, and take the goods 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,
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 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 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 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.
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.”
