Genesis 14

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

1 وَحَدَثَ فِي أَيَّامِ أَمْرَافَلَ مَلِكِ شِنْعَارَ، وَأَرْيُوكَ مَلِكِ أَلَّاسَارَ، وَكَدَرْلَعَوْمَرَ مَلِكِ عِيلَامَ، وَتِدْعَالَ مَلِكِ جُويِيمَ،

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).

2 أَنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ صَنَعُوا حَرْبًا مَعَ بَارَعَ مَلِكِ سَدُومَ، وَبِرْشَاعَ مَلِكِ عَمُورَةَ، وَشِنْآبَ مَلِكِ أَدْمَةَ، وَشِمْئِيبَرَ مَلِكِ صَبُويِيمَ، وَمَلِكِ بَالَعَ ٱلَّتِي هِيَ صُوغَرُ.

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

3 جَمِيعُ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱجْتَمَعُوا مُتَعَاهِدِينَ إِلَى عُمْقِ ٱلسِّدِّيمِ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ بَحْرُ ٱلْمِلْحِ.

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

4 اِثْنَتَيْ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً ٱسْتُعْبِدُوا لِكَدَرْلَعَوْمَرَ، وَٱلسَّنَةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ عَشَرَةَ عَصَوْا عَلَيْهِ.

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 وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلرَّابِعَةَ عَشَرْةَ أَتَى كَدَرْلَعَوْمَرُ وَٱلْمُلُوكُ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ وَضَرَبُوا ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ فِي عَشْتَارُوثَ قَرْنَايِمَ، وَٱلزُّوزِيِّينَ فِي هَامَ، وَٱلْإِيمِيِّينَ فِي شَوَى قَرْيَتَايِمَ،

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

6 وَٱلْحُورِيِّينَ فِي جَبَلِهِمْ سَعِيرَ إِلَى بُطْمَةِ فَارَانَ ٱلَّتِي عِنْدَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

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 ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا وَجَاءُوا إِلَى عَيْنِ مِشْفَاطَ ٱلَّتِي هِيَ قَادِشُ. وَضَرَبُوا كُلَّ بِلَادِ ٱلْعَمَالِقَةِ، وَأَيْضًا ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي حَصُّونَ تَامَارَ.

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 فَخَرَجَ مَلِكُ سَدُومَ، وَمَلِكُ عَمُورَةَ، وَمَلِكُ أَدْمَةَ، وَمَلِكُ صَبُويِيمَ، وَمَلِكُ بَالَعَ، ٱلَّتِي هِيَ صُوغَرُ، وَنَظَمُوا حَرْبًا مَعَهُمْ فِي عُمْقِ ٱلسِّدِّيمِ.

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

9 مَعَ كَدَرْلَعَوْمَرَ مَلِكِ عِيلَامَ، وَتِدْعَالَ مَلِكِ جُويِيمَ، وَأَمْرَافَلَ مَلِكِ شِنْعَارَ، وَأَرْيُوكَ مَلِكِ أَلَّاسَارَ. أَرْبَعَةُ مُلُوكٍ مَعَ خَمْسَةٍ.

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 وَعُمْقُ ٱلسِّدِّيمِ كَانَ فِيهِ آبَارُ حُمَرٍ كَثِيرَةٌ. فَهَرَبَ مَلِكَا سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَسَقَطَا هُنَاكَ، وَٱلْبَاقُونَ هَرَبُوا إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ.

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

11 فَأَخَذُوا جَمِيعَ أَمْلَاكِ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَجَمِيعَ أَطْعِمَتِهِمْ وَمَضَوْا.

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

12 وَأَخَذُوا لُوطًا ٱبْنَ أَخِي أَبْرَامَ وَأَمْلَاكَهُ وَمَضَوْا، إِذْ كَانَ سَاكِنًا فِي سَدُومَ.

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 فَأَتَى مَنْ نَجَا وَأَخْبَرَ أَبْرَامَ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيَّ. وَكَانَ سَاكِنًا عِنْدَ بَلُّوطَاتِ مَمْرَا ٱلْأَمُورِيِّ، أَخِي أَشْكُولَ وَأَخِي عَانِرَ. وَكَانُوا أَصْحَابَ عَهْدٍ مَعَ أَبْرَامَ.

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 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَبْرَامُ، أَنَّ أَخَاهُ سُبِيَ جَرَّ غِلْمَانَهُ ٱلْمُتَمَرِّنِينَ، وِلْدَانَ بَيْتِهِ، ثَلَاثَ مِئَةٍ وَثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ، وَتَبِعَهُمْ إِلَى دَانَ.

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

15 وَٱنْقَسَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَيْلًا هُوَ وَعَبِيدُهُ فَكَسَّرَهُمْ وَتَبِعَهُمْ إِلَى حُوبَةَ ٱلَّتِي عَنْ شِمَالِ دِمَشْقَ.

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 وَٱسْتَرْجَعَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَمْلَاكِ، وَٱسْتَرْجَعَ لُوطًا أَخَاهُ أَيْضًا وَأَمْلَاكَهُ، وَٱلنِّسَاءَ أَيْضًا وَٱلشَّعْبَ.

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 فَخَرَجَ مَلِكُ سَدُومَ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِهِ، بَعْدَ رُجُوعِهِ مِنْ كَسْرَةِ كَدَرْلَعَوْمَرَ وَٱلْمُلُوكِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ إِلَى عُمْقِ شَوَى، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ عُمْقُ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

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

18 وَمَلْكِي صَادِقُ، مَلِكُ شَالِيمَ، أَخْرَجَ خُبْزًا وَخَمْرًا. وَكَانَ كَاهِنًا لِلهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ.

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

19 وَبَارَكَهُ وَقَالَ: «مُبَارَكٌ أَبْرَامُ مِنَ ٱللهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ مَالِكِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ،

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

20 وَمُبَارَكٌ ٱللهُ ٱلْعَلِيُّ ٱلَّذِي أَسْلَمَ أَعْدَاءَكَ فِي يَدِكَ». فَأَعْطَاهُ عُشْرًا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

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

21 وَقَالَ مَلِكُ سَدُومَ لِأَبْرَامَ: «أَعْطِنِي ٱلنُّفُوسَ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْأَمْلَاكَ فَخُذْهَا لِنَفْسِكَ».

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 فَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ لِمَلِكِ سَدُومَ: «رَفَعْتُ يَدِي إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ مَالِكِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ،

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 لَا آخُذَنَّ لَا خَيْطًا وَلَا شِرَاكَ نَعْلٍ وَلَا مِنْ كُلِّ مَا هُوَ لَكَ، فَلَا تَقُولُ: أَنَا أَغْنَيْتُ أَبْرَامَ.

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 لَيْسَ لِي غَيْرُ ٱلَّذِي أَكَلَهُ ٱلْغِلْمَانُ، وَأَمَّا نَصِيبُ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا مَعِي: عَانِرَ وَأَشْكُولَ وَمَمْرَا، فَهُمْ يَأْخُذُونَ نَصِيبَهُمْ».
