< Genesis 14 >

1 Nangyari na sa mga araw nina Amrafel, hari ng Sinar, Ariok, hari ng Elasar, Kedorlaomer, hari ng Elam, at Tidal, hari ng Goyim,
And it came to pass at that time, that Amraphel king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Pontus, and Chodorlahomor king of the Elamites, and Thadal king of nations,
2 na nakipagdigma sila laban kina Bera, hari ng Sodoma, Birsha, hari ng Gomorra, Shinab, hari ng Adma, Shemeber, hari ng Zeboim, at sa hari ng Bela (tinatawag ding Zoar).
Made war against Bara king of Sodom, and against Bersa king of Gomorrha, and against Sennaab king of Adama, and against Semeber king of Seboim, and against the king of Bala, which is Segor.
3 Ang limang mga hari ay nagsama-sama sa Lambak ng Sidim (na tinatawag ding Dagat Asin).
All these came together into the woodland vale, which now is the salt sea.
4 Labindalawang taon silang nanilbihan kay Kedorlaomer, pero naghimagsik sila sa ika-labintatlong taon.
For they had served Chodorlahomor twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they revolted from him.
5 Pagkatapos sa ikalabing apat na taon, dumating at nilusob nina Kedorlaomer at ng mga haring kasama niya ang mga Refaita sa Astarot Karnaim, ang mga Zuzita sa Ham, ang mga Emita sa Save-Kiryatam,
And in the fourteenth year came Chodorlahomor, and the kings that were with him: and they smote the Raphaim in Astarothcarnaim, and the Zuzim with them, and the Emim in Save of Cariathaim.
6 at ang mga Horeo sa kanilang bulubunduking bansa ng Seir, hanggang sa El Paran, na malapit sa desyerto.
And the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the plains of Pharan, which is in the wilderness.
7 Pagkatapos lumiko sila at dumating sa Enmispat (tinatawag ding Kades), at tinalo ang lahat ng bansa ng mga Amalekita, pati na ang mga Amoreo na nanirahan sa Hasason Tamar.
And they returned, and came to the fountain of Misphat, the same is Cades: and they smote all the country of the Amalecites, and the Amorrhean that dwelt in Asasonthamar.
8 Pagkatapos lumabas at naghanda para sa digmaan ang hari ng Sodoma, ang hari ng Gomorra, ang hari ng Adma, ang hari ng Zeboim, at ang hari ng Bela (tinatawag ding Zoar),
And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrha, and the king of Adama, and the king of Seboim, and the king of Bala, which is Segor, went out: and they set themselves against them in battle array in the woodland vale:
9 laban kina Kedolaomer, hari ng Elam, Tidal, hari ng Goyim, Amrafel, hari ng Sinar, Arioc, hari ng Elasar; apat na mga hari laban sa lima.
To wit, against Chodorlahomor king of the Elamites, and Thadal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Pontus: four kings against five.
10 Ngayon puno ng mga hukay na may alkitran ang lambak ng Sidim, at nang tumakas ang mga hari ng Sodoma at Gomorra, nahulog sila roon. Tumakas ang mga natira patungo sa mga kabundukan.
Now the woodland vale had many pits of slime. And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrha turned their backs and were overthrown there: and they that remained fled to the mountain.
11 Kaya kinuha ng kaaway ang lahat ng mga kagamitan ng Sodoma at Gomorra at ang lahat ng kanilang mga panustos, at nagpatuloy sa kanilang landas.
And they took all the substance of the Sodomites, and Gomorrhites, and all their victuals, and went their way:
12 Nang umalis sila, dinala rin nila si Lot, ang anak ng kapatid ni Abram na naninirahan sa Sodoma, kasama ang lahat ng kaniyang mga ari-arian.
And Lot also, the son of Abram’s brother, who dwelt in Sodom, and his substance.
13 Pumunta at nagsalaysay ang isang nakatakas kay Abram na Hebreo. Naninirahan siya sa may mga kakahuyan na pagmamay-ari ni Mamre, na Amoreo, kapatid nina Escol at Aner, na pawang mga kakampi ni Abram.
And behold one that had escaped told Abram the Hebrew, who dwelt in the vale of Mambre the Amorrhite, the brother of Escol, and the brother of Aner: for these had made league with Abram.
14 Ngayon nang marinig ni Abram na nabihag ng mga kaaway ang kaniyang kamag-anak, pinangunahan niya ang kaniyang tatlong daan at labing walong sinanay na tauhan, na ipinanganak sa kaniyang sambahayan, at tinugis niya sila hanggang sa Dan.
Which when Abram had heard, to wit, that his brother Lot was taken, he numbered of the servants born in his house, three hundred and eighteen well appointed: and pursued them to Dan.
15 Kinagabihan hinati niya ang kaniyang mga tauhan laban sa kanila at nilusob sila, at hinabol sila hanggang sa Hoba na nasa hilaga ng Damasco.
And dividing his company, he rushed upon them in the night: and defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hoba, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
16 Pagkatapos dinala niya ang lahat ng mga ari-arian, at dinala rin niya ang kaniyang kamag-anak na si Lot at ang kaniyang mga kagamitan, pati na rin ang mga kababaihan at ang iba pang mga tao.
And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his brother, with his substance, the women also and the people.
17 Matapos bumalik ni Abram mula sa pagtalo kina Kedorlaomer at sa mga hari na kasama niya, ang hari ng Sodoma ay lumabas para salubungin siya sa lambak ng Save (tinatawag ding Lambak ng Hari).
And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter of Chodorlahomor, and of the kings that were with him in the vale of Save, which is the king’s vale.
18 Naglabas si Melquisedec, hari ng Salem, ng tinapay at alak. Siya ay pari ng Kataastaasang Diyos.
But Melchisedech the king of Salem, bringing forth bread and wine, for he was the priest of the most high God,
19 Siya ay kaniyang pinagpala na nagsasabing, “Pagpalain ka Abram ng Kataastaasang Diyos, Manlilikha ng langit at lupa.
Blessed him, and said: Blessed be Abram by the most high God, who created heaven and earth.
20 Pagpalain ang Kataastaasang Diyos, na siyang nagbigay ng iyong mga kaaway sa iyong kamay.” Pagkatapos ibinigay ni Abram sa kaniya ang ikasampu ng lahat ng kaniyang pag-aari.
And blessed be the most high God, by whose protection the enemies are in thy hands. And he gave him the tithes of all.
21 Sinabi ng hari ng Sodoma kay Abram, “Ibigay mo sa akin ang mga tao, at kunin mo ang mga kagamitan para sa iyong sarili.”
And the king of Sodom said to Abram: Give me the persons, and the rest take to thyself.
22 Sinabi ni Abram sa hari ng Sodoma, “Itinaas ko ang aking kamay kay Yahweh, sa Kataastaasang Diyos, Manlilikha ng langit at lupa,
And he answered him: I lift up my hand to the Lord God the most high, the possessor of heaven and earth,
23 na hindi ako kukuha ng sinulid, sintas ng sandalyas, o anumang sa iyo, para ikaw ay hindi kailanman makapagsabing, “Ako ang nagpayaman kay Abram.'
That from the very woof thread unto the shoe latchet, I will not take of any things that are thine, lest thou say I have enriched Abram:
24 Wala akong kukunin maliban sa kung anong nakain ng mga kabataang lalaki at ang bahagi ng mga lalaking sumama sa akin. Hayaang mong kunin nina Aner, Escol, at Mamre ang kanilang bahagi.”
Except such things as the young men have eaten, and the shares of the men that came with me, Aner, Escol, and Mambre: these shall take their shares.
