9 saa ahemfo baanan yi a wɔne Elamhene Kedorlaomer, Goiimhene Tideal, Sinearhene Amrafel ne Elasarhene Ariok nkyɛn. Wokohyiaa wɔ Sidim subon mu.

To wit, with Chedor-laomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar: foure Kings against fiue.

10 Na nkomoa pii wɔ Sidim Bon no mu a wɔatu ama wɔ hɔ pɛn. Enti ɛbaa sɛ Sodomhene ne Gomorahene asraafo no reguan no, wɔn mu bi kɔtotɔɔ nkomoa no mu, na nkae no nso guan kɔɔ mmepɔw a na ɛwɔ hɔ no so.

Now the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits, and the Kings of Sodom and Gomorah fled and fell there: and ye residue fled to the mountaine.

11 Ahemfo baanan a wodii nkonim no fom Sodom ne Gomorafo ahode ne wɔn nnuan nyinaa de kɔe.

They tooke Lot also Abrams brothers sonne and his substance (for he dwelt at Sodom) and departed.

13 Na Sodom ne Gomora aguanfo no mu baako bɛbɔɔ Hebrini Abram ɔko no mu amanneɛ. Saa bere no, na Abram abɔ ne ho atenase wɔ odum kwae bi a ɛyɛ Amorini Mamrɛ de no ase. Mamrɛ yi nso, na ne nuanom ne Eskol ne Aner a na wɔyɛ Abram aboafo no.

Then came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Ebrew, which dwelt in the plaine of Mamre ye Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner, which were confederat with Abram.

14 Bere a Abram tee sɛ wɔafa ne busuani Lot dommum no, ɔboaboaa ne fifo nnipa ahaasa ne dunwɔtwe a wɔatetew wɔn sɛ akofo ano, maa wotiw atamfo no, kosii kurow bi a wɔfrɛ no Dan mu.

When Abram heard that his brother was taken, he brought forth of them that were borne and brought vp in his house, three hundreth and eighteene, and pursued them vnto Dan.

15 Da no anadwo, Abram kyekyɛɛ nʼakofo no mu ma wɔtow hyɛɛ atamfo no so, kunkum wɔn, taa wɔn koduu kurow bi a wɔfrɛ no Hoba a ɛwɔ Damasko atifi fam no mu.

16 Abram gyee ɔko mu nneɛma a wɔfaa no nyinaa faa ne busuani Lot ne nʼagyapade ne mmea ne nnipa foforo a wɔkyekyeree wɔn no nyinaa san bae.

And he recouered all the substance, and also brought againe his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also and the people.

17 Abram kodii Kedorlaomer ne ahemfo a na wɔka ne ho no so nkonim akyi no, Sodomhene behyiaa no wɔ Sawe bon a ɛno ara na wɔfrɛ no Ɔhene Bon no mu.

After that he returned from the slaughter of Chedor-laomer, and of the Kings that were with him, came the King of Sodom foorth to meete him in the valley of Shaueh, which is the Kings dale.

18 Na Salemhene Melkisedek a na ɔyɛ Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn sɔfo no de brodo ne nsa brɛɛ no,

And Melchi-zedek King of Shalem brought foorth bread and wine: and he was a Priest of the most high God.

19 behyiraa Abram se: “Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ ɔsoro ne asase, Nhyira nka wo, Abram.

Therefore he blessed him, saying, Blessed art thou, Abram, of God most high possessour of heauen and earth,

20 Na nhyira nka Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn a ɔde wʼatamfo ahyɛ wo nsam no.” Na Abram maa Melkisedek nneɛma a ne nsa kae no nyinaa mu biara nkyekyɛmu du mu baako.

And blessed be the most high God, which hath deliuered thine enemies into thine hand. And Abram gaue him tythe of all.

21 Sodomhene no ka kyerɛɛ Abram se, “Fa me nnipa a wofaa wɔn no ma me na wo nso, fa nneɛma a aka no nyinaa.”

Then the King of Sodom saide to Abram, Giue me the persons, and take the goodes to thy selfe.

22 Nanso Abram ka kyerɛɛ Sodomhene no se, “Madi nsew aka ntam akyerɛ AWURADE, Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn, ɔsoro ne asase yɛfo se,

And Abram said to the King of Sodom, I haue lift vp mine hand vnto the Lord the most hie God possessor of heauen and earth,

23 Merennye biribiara, sɛ ɛyɛ asaawa hama baako anaa mpaboa so hama mpo, mfi wo nkyɛn, na woanka da sɛ, ‘Me na memaa Abram nyaa ne ho.’

That I will not take of all that is thine, so much as a threde or shoolatchet, lest thou shouldest say, I haue made Abram riche,

24 Merennye hwee mfi wo nkyɛn, gye nea me mmarima yi adi nko. Me nkurɔfo Aner, Eskol ne Mamrɛ de, ma wɔn wɔn kyɛfa.”

Saue onely that, which the yong men haue eaten, and the partes of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre: let them take their partes.
