Aabraam Oo Badbaadiyey Luud

14 Oo waxaa dhacday waagii Amraafel boqorka u ahaa Shincaar, Aryoogna boqorka u ahaa Ellaasaar, Kedorlaacomerna boqorka u ahaa Ceelaam, Tidcaalna boqorka u ahaa Goyiim, inay la dirireen Berac oo boqor u ahaa Sodom, iyo Birshac oo boqor u ahaa Gomora, iyo Shinaab oo boqor u ahaa Admah, iyo Shemeeber oo boqor u ahaa Seboyim, iyo boqorkii Belac (oo iyana ahayd Socar). Kuwanu waxay kulligood isugu yimaadeen Dooxo Siddiim (oo iyana ahayd Baddii Cusbada). Laba iyo toban sannadood bay Kedorlaacomer u adeegeen, markaasay sannaddii saddex iyo tobnaad ku caasiyoobeen. Sannaddii afar iyo tobnaadna waxaa yimid Kedorlaacomer, iyo boqorradii la jiray, oo waxay reer Refaa'iim ku dileen Cashterod Qarnayim, oo reer Suusiimna waxay ku dileen Haam, oo reer Eymiimna waxay ku dileen Shaweh Qiryaatayim, reer Xorna waxay ku dileen buurtoodii Seciir, iyo ilaa Aylfaaraan oo u dhowayd cidlada. Oo way soo noqdeen, oo waxay yimaadeen Ceyn Mishfaad (oo iyana ahayd Qaadeesh), oo waxay dileen dadkii dalkii reer Camaaleq oo dhan, waxaa kale oo ay dileen reer Amor oo degganaa Hasason Tamar. Oo waxaa soo baxay boqorkii Sodom, iyo boqorkii Gomora, iyo boqorkii Admah, iyo boqorkii Seboyim, iyo boqorkii Belac (oo iyana ahayd Socar); oo waxay Dooxo Siddiim ugu diyaargaroobeen inay la dagaallamaan Kedorlaacomer oo ahaa boqorkii Ceelaam, iyo Tidcaal oo ahaa boqorkii Goyiim, iyo Amraafel oo ahaa boqorkii Shincaar, iyo Aryoog oo ahaa boqorkii Ellaasaar. Waxay ahaayeen afar boqor oo shantii boqor ka gees ah. 10 Haddaba Dooxo Siddiim waxaa ka buuxay boholo waaweyn oo dhoobo ah; oo boqorradii Gomora iyo Sodom way carareen, oo halkaasay ku dhaceen, intii kalena waxay u carareen xagga buurta. 11 Oo waxay qaateen alaabtii Sodom iyo Gomora oo dhan, iyo cuntadoodii oo dhan, wayna iska tageen. 12 Oo waxaa kaloo ay la tageen Luud, oo ahaa wiilkii Aabraam walaalkiis, oo Sodom degganaa, iyo alaabtiisii oo dhan, wayna iska tageen. 13 Oo waxaa yimid mid soo baxsaday, oo wuxuu u warramay Aabraam kii ahaa Cibraaniga isagoo ag deggan dhirtii Mamre kii ahaa reer Amor, oo Eshkol iyo Caaneer walaalkood ahaa. Kuwaasu Aabraam bay gaashaanbuur la ahaayeen. 14 Oo Aabraam markuu maqlay in walaalkiis maxbuus ahaan loola tegey ayuu soo kaxaystay raggiisii la tababbaray oo gurigiisa ku dhashay, iyagoo ah saddex boqol iyo siddeed iyo toban nin, oo wuxuu raacdo ku jiray ilaa Daan. 15 Oo habeennimo ayuu raggiisii u kala qaybiyey, isaga iyo addoommadiisiiba, oo waxay laayeen colkii, oo ay raacdaysteen ilaa Xoobah, oo Dimishaq xagga bidixda ka ah. 16 Oo alaabtii oo dhan buu soo celiyey, oo waxaa kale oo uu soo celiyey walaalkiis Luud, iyo alaabtiisii, iyo naagihii, iyo dadkiiba. 17 Markuu ka soo noqday layntii Kedorlaacomer iyo boqorradii la jiray ka dib ayaa boqorkii Sodom Aabraam kaga hor tegey Dooxo Shaweh oo ahayd Dooxadii Boqorka. 18 Oo Malkisadaq oo ahaa boqorkii Saalem baa keenay cunto iyo khamri: wuxuuna ahaa wadaadkii Ilaaha ugu sarreeya. 19 Oo Aabraam buu u duceeyay, oo yidhi, Ilaaha ugu sarreeya, ee leh samada iyo dhulkaba ha barakeeyo Aabraam. 20 Ammaan waxaa leh Ilaaha ugu sarreeya, oo cadaawayaashaadii gacantaada geliyey. Markaasaa Aabraam wuxuu isagii wax kasta ka siiyey toban meelood oo meel. 21 Boqorkii Sodom wuxuu Aabraam ku yidhi, Dadka uun i sii, alaabtana adigu iska qaado. 22 Laakiin Aabraam wuxuu boqorkii Sodom ku yidhi, Gacantaydaan kor u taagay oo waxaan ku dhaartay Rabbiga, kan ah Ilaaha ugu sarreeya, ee leh samada iyo dhulka, 23 inaanan qaadanin miiq ama kab yeelmeheed ama wax adigu aad leedahay, waayo, waaba intaasoo aad tidhaahdaa, Anaa Aabraam hodan ka dhigaye. 24 Waxba qaadan maayo wixii ay ragga dhallinyarada ahu cuneen mooyaane, iyo qaybtii raggii i raacay. Caaneer iyo Eshkol, iyo Mamre ha qaateen qaybtooda.

Lot’s Captivity and Rescue

14 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king (A)of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of (B)Elam, and Tidal king of [a]nations, that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of (C)Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, (D)Zoar). All these joined together in the Valley of Siddim (E)(that is, the Salt Sea). Twelve years (F)they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him came and attacked (G)the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, (H)the Zuzim in Ham, (I)the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim, (J)and the Horites in their mountain of Seir, as far as El Paran, which is by the wilderness. Then they turned back and came to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and attacked all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who dwelt (K)in Hazezon Tamar.

And the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) went out and joined together in battle in the Valley of Siddim against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of [b]nations, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five. 10 Now the Valley of Siddim was full of (L)asphalt pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled; some fell there, and the remainder fled (M)to the mountains. 11 Then they took (N)all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their provisions, and went their way. 12 They also took Lot, Abram’s (O)brother’s son (P)who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

13 Then one who had escaped came and told Abram the (Q)Hebrew, for (R)he dwelt by [c]the terebinth trees of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner; (S)and they were allies with Abram. 14 Now (T)when Abram heard that (U)his brother was taken captive, he armed his three hundred and eighteen trained servants who were (V)born in his own house, and went in pursuit (W)as far as Dan. 15 He divided his forces against them by night, and he and his servants (X)attacked them and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is [d]north of Damascus. 16 So he (Y)brought back all the goods, and also brought back his brother Lot and his goods, as well as the women and the people.

17 And the king of Sodom (Z)went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the (AA)King’s Valley), (AB)after his return from the [e]defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him.

Abram and Melchizedek(AC)

18 Then (AD)Melchizedek king of Salem brought out (AE)bread and wine; he was (AF)the priest of (AG)God Most High. 19 And he blessed him and said:

(AH)“Blessed be Abram of God Most High,
(AI)Possessor of heaven and earth;
20 And (AJ)blessed be God Most High,
Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.”

And he (AK)gave him [f]a tithe of all.

21 Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the [g]persons, and take the goods for yourself.”

22 But Abram (AL)said to the king of Sodom, “I (AM)have raised my hand to the Lord, God Most High, (AN)the Possessor of heaven and earth, 23 that (AO)I will take nothing, from a thread to a sandal strap, and that I will not take anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich’— 24 except only what the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.”

Abram Rescues Lot

14 In the days of Amraphel king of (A)Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of (B)Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, these kings made war with (C)Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of (D)Admah, Shemeber king of (E)Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar). And all these joined forces in the Valley of Siddim ((F)that is, the Salt Sea). Twelve years they had served Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled. In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and defeated the (G)Rephaim in (H)Ashteroth-karnaim, the (I)Zuzim in Ham, the (J)Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim, and the (K)Horites in their hill country of Seir as far as (L)El-paran on the border of the wilderness. Then they turned back and came to En-mishpat (that is, (M)Kadesh) and defeated all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who were dwelling (N)in Hazazon-tamar.

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) went out, and they joined battle in the Valley of Siddim with Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, four kings against five. 10 Now the Valley of Siddim was full of (O)bitumen pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some fell into them, and the rest fled (P)to the hill country. 11 So the enemy took (Q)all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their provisions, and went their way. 12 They also took Lot, (R)the son of Abram's brother, (S)who was dwelling in Sodom, and his possessions, and went their way.

13 Then one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew, (T)who was living by the (U)oaks[a] of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and of Aner. These were allies of Abram. 14 When Abram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he led forth his trained men, (V)born in his house, 318 of them, and went in pursuit as far as (W)Dan. 15 And he divided his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and defeated them and pursued them to Hobah, north of Damascus. 16 Then he brought back all the possessions, and also brought back his kinsman Lot (X)with his possessions, and the women and the people.

Abram Blessed by Melchizedek

17 After his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the (Y)King's Valley). 18 And (Z)Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was (AA)priest of (AB)God Most High.) 19 And he blessed him and said,

(AC)“Blessed be Abram by God Most High,
    (AD)Possessor[b] of heaven and earth;
20 and blessed be God Most High,
    who has delivered your enemies into your hand!”

And Abram gave him (AE)a tenth of everything. 21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the persons, but take the goods for yourself.” 22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, (AF)“I have lifted my hand[c] to the Lord, God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth, 23 that (AG)I would not take a thread or a sandal strap or anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’ 24 I will take nothing but what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me. Let (AH)Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre take their share.”
