Genesis 14

1 In those days Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim

1–2 那时，示拿王暗拉非、以拉撒王亚略、以拦王基大老玛和戈印王提达联合攻打以下五王：所多玛王比拉、蛾摩拉王比沙、押玛王示纳、洗扁王善以别和比拉王，即琐珥王。

2 went to war against Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).

3 The latter five came as allies to the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea).

3 五王会师西订谷，即盐海。

4 For twelve years they had been subject to Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

4 他们受基大老玛统治十二年，在第十三年叛变了。

5 In the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer and the kings allied with him went out and defeated the Rephaites in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh-kiriathaim,

5 第十四年，基大老玛联合其他王在亚特律·加宁打败利乏音人，在哈麦打败苏西人，在沙微·基列亭打败以米人，

6 and the Horites in the area of Mount Seir, as far as El-paran, which is near the desert.

6 在西珥山打败住在那里的何利人，直杀到靠近旷野的伊勒·巴兰。

7 Then they turned back to invade En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and they conquered the whole territory of the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar.

7 然后，他们返回安·密巴，即加低斯，征服了亚玛力全境以及住在哈洗逊·他玛的亚摩利人。

8 Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) marched out and arrayed themselves for battle in the Valley of Siddim

8 那时，所多玛王、蛾摩拉王、押玛王、洗扁王和比拉王，即琐珥王出战，在西订谷摆开阵势，

9 against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five.

9 抵抗以拦王基大老玛、戈印王提达、示拿王暗拉非和以拉撒王亚略：四王跟五王交战。

10 Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some men fell into the pits, but the survivors fled to the hill country.

10 西订谷布满柏油坑，所多玛王和蛾摩拉王败走的时候，有些人掉进坑里，其他人都往山上逃命。

11 The four kings seized all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food, and they went on their way.

11 四王把所多玛和蛾摩拉所有的财物和粮食洗劫一空，扬长而去，

12 They also carried off Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since Lot was living in Sodom.

12 并劫走亚伯兰的侄儿罗得和他的财物，那时罗得正住在所多玛。

13 Then an escapee came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew. Now Abram was living near the Oaks of Mamre the Amorite, a brother of Eshcol and Aner, all of whom were bound by treaty to Abram.

13 有一个逃出来的人把这件事情告诉了希伯来人亚伯兰。那时，亚伯兰住在亚摩利人幔利的橡树那里。幔利是以实各和亚乃的兄弟，三人都是亚伯兰的盟友。

14 And when Abram heard that his relative had been captured, he mobilized the 318 trained men born in his household, and they set out in pursuit as far as Dan.

14 亚伯兰听见侄儿被掳的消息，便率领家中三百一十八名训练有素的壮丁去追赶他们，一直追到但。

15 During the night, Abram divided his forces and routed Chedorlaomer’s army, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.

15 夜里，亚伯兰和他的随从分头出击，大败他们，一直追杀到大马士革北面的何巴，

16 He retrieved all the goods, as well as his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the rest of the people.

16 夺回所有被劫的财物，并救出他侄儿罗得及其财物、妇女和其他人。

17 After Abram returned from defeating Chedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).

17 亚伯兰大败基大老玛及其盟军各王凯旋的时候，所多玛王到沙微谷来迎接。沙微谷即王谷。

18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine—since he was priest of God Most High—

18 撒冷王麦基洗德也带着饼和酒出来相迎，他是至高上帝的祭司。

19 and he blessed Abram and said: “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,

19 他祝福亚伯兰说： “愿创造天地的主、至高的上帝赐福给亚伯兰！

20 and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything.

20 将敌人交在你手中的至高上帝当受称颂！” 于是，亚伯兰把所得财物的十分之一给了他。

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

21 所多玛王对亚伯兰说：“请把我的人民交还给我，你可以把财物拿去。”

22 But Abram replied to the king of Sodom, “I have raised my hand to the LORD God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,

22 亚伯兰对他说：“我向创造天地的主、至高的上帝耶和华举手起誓，

23 that I will not accept even a thread, or a strap of a sandal, or anything that belongs to you, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’

23 凡是你的东西，就是一根线、一条鞋带，我都不会拿，免得你说，‘我使亚伯兰发了财！’

24 I will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and the share for the men who went with me—Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. They may take their portion.”

24 除了我的随从已经吃用的以外，我什么也不要。至于我的盟友亚乃、以实各和幔利所当得之份，请让他们拿去。”
