Ginluwas ni Abram si Lot

14 Sang sadto nga tiyempo, si Haring Amrafel sang Shinar, si Haring Arioc sang Elasar, si Haring Kedorlaomer sang Elam, kag si Haring Tidal sang Goyim nagpakig-away kontra kay Haring Bera sang Sodom, Haring Birsha sang Gomora, Haring Shinab sang Adma, Haring Shemeber sang Zeboyim, kag sa hari sang Bela nga ginatawag man nga Zoar. Nagtipon ining lima ka hari upod ang ila mga soldado didto sa Kapatagan sang Sidim nga ginatawag subong nga Patay nga Dagat.[a] Ini nga mga hari ginsakop anay ni Kedorlaomer sa sulod sang 12 ka tuig, pero sang ika-13 nga tuig nagrebelde sila kontra sa iya. Kag sang ika-14 nga tuig, gindaog ni Kedorlaomer kag sang iya mga kadampig nga mga hari ang mga Refaimnon sa Ashterot Karnaim, ang mga Zuzhanon sa Ham, ang mga Emhanon sa kapatagan sang Kiriataim, kag ang mga Horhanon sa kabukiran sang Seir hasta sa El Paran nga malapit sa kamingawan. Halin didto, nagbalik sila kag nakaabot sa En Mishpat nga ginatawag subong nga Kadesh. Kag gin-agaw nila ang tanan nga kadutaan sang mga Amaleknon kag sang mga Amornon nga nagaestar sa Hazazon Tamar.

Karon, gintipon sang mga hari sang Sodom, Gomora, Adma, Zeboyim, kag Bela ang ila mga soldado didto sa Kapatagan sang Sidim kag nagpakig-away sila kontra kay Haring Kedorlaomer sang Elam, Haring Tidal sang Goyim, Haring Amrafel sang Shinar, kag kay Haring Arioc sang Elasar—lima ka hari kontra sa apat ka hari. 10 Karon, ang Kapatagan sang Sidim may madamo nga mga buho nga ginakuhaan sang aspalto. Kag sang magpalagyo ang hari sang Sodom kag sang Gomora upod ang ila mga tinawo, nahulog ang iban sa ila sa mga buho, kag ang iban nakapalagyo sa mga bukid. 11-12 Ang tanan nga pagkabutang sang Sodom kag Gomora pati ang ila mga pagkaon ginkuha sang ila mga kaaway. Ginbihag man nila si Lot nga hinablos ni Abram kag ginkuha ang iya mga pagkabutang, kay natabuan nga didto siya nagaestar sa Sodom. Pagkatapos panguha sang mga kaaway, naglakat sila.

13 Karon, may isa nga nakapalagyo kag nagpanugid kay Abram nga Hebreo parte sa natabo. Si Abram sadto didto nagaestar malapit sa dalagko nga mga kahoy ni Mamre nga Amornon. Si Mamre nga ini kag ang iya mga utod nga si Eshcol kag si Aner mga kadampig ni Abram. 14 Pagkabati ni Abram nga ginbihag ang iya hinablos, gintipon niya dayon ang iya 318 ka tinawo nga masaligan, nga natawo sa iya kampo. Ginlagas nila ang apat ka hari hasta sa Dan. 15 Pagkagab-i, gintunga ni Abram ang iya mga tinawo kag ginsalakay nila ang ila mga kaaway, kag napierdi nila ini. Ang iban nga nakapalagyo ginlagas nila hasta sa Hoba, sa aminhan[b] sang Damascus. 16 Nabawi nila ang tanan nga pagkabutang nga gin-agaw sang mga kaaway. Nabawi man nila si Lot kag ang iya mga pagkabutang pati ang mga babayi kag ang iban pa nga mga katawhan.

Ginbendisyunan ni Melkizedek si Abram

17 Sang pagpauli na ni Abram, matapos nila nga napierdi si Kedorlaomer kag ang iya kaupod nga mga hari, ginsugata siya sang hari sang Sodom sa Kapatagan sang Shave (nga ginatawag man nga Kapatagan sang Hari). 18 Ginsugata man siya ni Melkizedek nga hari sang Salem kag pari sang Labing Mataas nga Dios. May dala si Melkizedek nga tinapay kag ilimnon. 19 Ginbendisyunan niya si Abram nga nagasiling:

“Kabay pa nga bendisyunan ka Abram sang Labing Mataas nga Dios
nga naghimo sang langit kag sang duta.
20 Dalayawon ang Labing Mataas nga Dios
nga nagpadaog sa imo kontra sa imo mga kaaway!”

Dayon ginhatag ni Abram kay Melkizedek ang ikanapulo sang tanan nga butang nga iya nakuha sa inaway.

21 Karon, nagsiling ang hari sang Sodom kay Abram, “Imo na lang ang tanan ko nga mga pagkabutang nga nabawi mo, pero iuli lang sa akon ang tanan ko nga mga tinawo.” 22 Pero nagsabat si Abram, “Ginasumpa ko sa atubangan sang Ginoo, ang Labing Mataas nga Dios nga amo ang naghimo sang langit kag sang duta, 23 nga indi gid ako magkuha sang bisan ano sa imo pagkabutang, bisan hilo ukon higot sang sandalyas, agod nga indi ka makasiling nga ikaw ang nagpamanggaranon sa akon. 24 Indi ako magbaton sang bisan ano para sa akon kaugalingon. Ang kabigon ko lang nga nabaton ko amo ang ginkaon sang akon mga tinawo, pero tuguti ang akon mga kaupod nga sila ni Aner, Eshcol, kag Mamre sa pagkuha sang ila parte sa mga butang nga nakuha sa inaway.”

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.”

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, 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) All these latter kings joined forces in the Valley of Siddim(F) (that is, the Dead Sea Valley(G)). For twelve years they had been subject to Kedorlaomer,(H) but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

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 and the Horites(L) in the hill country of Seir,(M) as far as El Paran(N) near the desert. 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)

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) 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.”

14 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;

That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.

All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.

Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emins in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness.

And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezontamar.

And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;

With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.

10 And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.

11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.

12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.

14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.

15 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.

16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.

17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.

18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.

22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the Lord, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,

23 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:

24 Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
