Iniligtas ni Abram si Lot
14 Nang panahong iyon, sina Haring Amrafel ng Sinar, Arioc ng Elasar, Kedorlaomer ng Elam at Tidal ng Goyim, 2 ay nakipagdigma kina Haring Bera ng Sodoma, Birsha ng Gomorra, Shinab ng Adma, Shemeber ng Zeboim at Zoar ng Bela. 3 Tinipon ng limang haring ito ang kanilang mga hukbo sa kapatagan ng Sidim na tinatawag ding Dagat na Patay. 4 Ang mga ito ay labindalawang taon nang nasasakop ni Kedorlaomer, ngunit nang ika-13 taon, nagkaisa-isa silang umaklas laban sa kanya. 5 Isang taon buhat nang sila'y umaklas, dumating si Kedorlaomer, kasama ang mga haring kakampi niya upang sila'y muling sakupin. Nalupig na niya ang mga bansang kanyang dinaanan: ang mga Refaita sa Astarot-carnaim, ang mga Zuzita sa Ham at ang mga Emita sa Save-kiryataim. 6 Tinalo na rin nila ang mga Horeo sa kabundukan ng Seir hanggang sa Elparan, sa gilid ng disyerto. 7 Buhat doo'y bumaling silang patungo sa Kades (o Enmispat) at sinakop ang lupain ng mga Amalekita at ng mga Amoreo sa Hazazon-tamar.
8 Tinipon nga ng mga hari ng Sodoma, Gomorra, Adma, Zeboim at Bela ang kanilang mga hukbo sa Kapatagan ng Sidim. At doon nila hinarap 9 sina Haring Kedorlaomer ng Elam, Tidal ng Goyim, Amrafel ng Sinar at Arioc ng Elasar—lima laban sa apat. 10 Natalo ang limang hari, at nang sila'y tumakas sa labanan, ang hari ng Sodoma at ang hari ng Gomorra ay nahulog sa balon ng alkitran na marami sa dakong iyon. Ang iba'y nakatakas papunta sa kabundukan. 11 Kaya't sinamsam ng apat na hari ang lahat ng ari-ariang natagpuan sa Sodoma at Gomorra, pati ang pagkain doon. 12 Binihag din nila ang pamangkin ni Abram na si Lot na nakatira sa Sodoma, at kinuha ang lahat ng ari-arian nito.
13 Isang takas ang nagbalita ng pangyayaring ito kay Abram na Hebreo, na noo'y nakatira malapit sa tabi ng sagradong kahuyan ni Mamre, isang Amoreo. Si Abram at si Mamre, kasama ang mga kapatid niyang sina Escol at Aner ay may umiiral na kasunduan. 14 Pagkarinig niya sa nangyari sa kanyang pamangking si Lot, tinawag niya ang kanyang mga tauhan at nakatipon siya ng 318 mandirigma. Sinundan nila ang mga kalabang hari hanggang sa Dan. 15 Pagdating doon, nagdalawang pangkat sila, at pagsapit ng gabi, sinalakay nila ang kaaway. Tinalo nila ang mga ito at hinabol hanggang Hoba sa hilaga ng Damasco. 16 Nabawi nilang lahat ang nasamsam na ari-arian at nailigtas si Lot, ang mga kababaihan at ang iba pa nitong mga kasamahan.
Binasbasan ni Melquisedec si Abram
17 Sa pagbabalik ni Abram, pagkatapos niyang talunin si Haring Kedorlaomer at ang iba pang mga haring kasama nito, sinalubong siya ng hari ng Sodoma sa Libis ng Save, na tinawag ding Libis ng Hari. 18 Dinalhan(A) siya ni Melquisedec, hari ng Salem at pari ng Kataas-taasang Diyos, ng tinapay at alak, 19 at binasbasan,
“Pagpalain ka nawa, Abram, ng Kataas-taasang Diyos,
na lumikha ng langit at lupa.
20 Purihin ang Kataas-taasang Diyos,
na nagbigay sa iyo ng tagumpay!”
At ibinigay ni Abram kay Melquisedec ang ikasampung bahagi ng lahat ng kanyang nasamsam buhat sa labanan.
21 Sinabi ng hari ng Sodoma kay Abram, “Iyo na ang lahat ng bagay na nakuha mo, subalit ibalik mo sa akin ang lahat ng mga tauhan ko.”
22 Ngunit sumagot si Abram, “Sumumpa ako sa harapan ni Yahweh, ang Kataas-taasang Diyos na lumikha ng langit at lupa. 23 Nangako akong hindi kukuha ng anuman sa iyo, kahit kaputol na sinulid o tali ng sandalyas, para wala kang masabi na ikaw ang nagpayaman kay Abram. 24 Wala akong kukuning anuman para sa sarili ko. Ang mga nagamit lamang ng aking mga tauhan ang aking tatanggapin, at ang bahaging nauukol sa aking mga kakampi. Hayaan ninyong kunin nina Aner, Escol at Mamre ang bahaging nauukol sa kanila.”

New International Version
Abram Rescues Lot
14 At the time when Amraphel was king of Shinar,[a](A) Arioch king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer(B) king of Elam(C) and Tidal king of Goyim, 2 these kings went to war against Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboyim,(D) and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).(E) 3 All these latter kings joined forces in the Valley of Siddim(F) (that is, the Dead Sea Valley(G)). 4 For twelve years they had been subject to Kedorlaomer,(H) but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
5 In the fourteenth year, Kedorlaomer(I) and the kings allied with him went out and defeated the Rephaites(J) in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites(K) in Shaveh Kiriathaim 6 and the Horites(L) in the hill country of Seir,(M) as far as El Paran(N) near the desert. 7 Then they turned back and went to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh),(O) and they conquered the whole territory of the Amalekites,(P) as well as the Amorites(Q) who were living in Hazezon Tamar.(R)
8 Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah,(S) the king of Admah, the king of Zeboyim(T) and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar)(U) marched out and drew up their battle lines in the Valley of Siddim(V) 9 against Kedorlaomer(W) king of Elam,(X) Tidal king of Goyim, Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five. 10 Now the Valley of Siddim(Y) was full of tar(Z) pits, and when the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah(AA) fled, some of the men fell into them and the rest fled to the hills.(AB) 11 The four kings seized all the goods(AC) of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food; then they went away. 12 They also carried off Abram’s nephew Lot(AD) and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom.
13 A man who had escaped came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew.(AE) Now Abram was living near the great trees of Mamre(AF) the Amorite, a brother[b] of Eshkol(AG) and Aner, all of whom were allied with Abram. 14 When Abram heard that his relative(AH) had been taken captive, he called out the 318 trained(AI) men born in his household(AJ) and went in pursuit as far as Dan.(AK) 15 During the night Abram divided his men(AL) to attack them and he routed them, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.(AM) 16 He recovered(AN) all the goods(AO) and brought back his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the other people.
17 After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer(AP) and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom(AQ) came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).(AR)
18 Then Melchizedek(AS) king of Salem(AT) brought out bread(AU) and wine.(AV) He was priest of God Most High,(AW) 19 and he blessed Abram,(AX) saying,
“Blessed be Abram by God Most High,(AY)
Creator of heaven and earth.(AZ)
20 And praise be to God Most High,(BA)
who delivered your enemies into your hand.”
Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.(BB)
21 The king of Sodom(BC) said to Abram, “Give me the people and keep the goods(BD) for yourself.”
22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom,(BE) “With raised hand(BF) I have sworn an oath to the Lord, God Most High,(BG) Creator of heaven and earth,(BH) 23 that I will accept nothing belonging to you,(BI) not even a thread or the strap of a sandal, so that you will never be able to say, ‘I made Abram rich.’ 24 I will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and the share that belongs to the men who went with me—to Aner, Eshkol and Mamre.(BJ) Let them have their share.”
