1 A nd 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;

وَفِي أيّامِ أمْرافَلَ مَلِكِ شِنْعارَ، وَأرْيُوكَ مَلِكِ ألّاسارَ، وَكَدَرلَعَومَرَ مَلِكِ عِيلامَ، وَتِدْعالَ مَلِكِ جُويِيمَ،

2 T hat 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.

شَنَّ هَؤُلاءِ المُلُوكُ حَرْباً عَلَى بارَعَ مَلِكِ سَدُومَ، وَبِرْشاعَ مَلِكِ عَمُورَةَ، وَشِنْآبَ مَلِكِ أدْمَةَ، وَشِمْئِيبَرَ مَلِكِ صَبُويِيمَ، وَمَلِكِ بالَعَ الَّتِي تُدْعَى أيضاً صُوغَرَ.

3 A ll these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.

تَحالَفَ هَؤُلاءِ المُلُوكُ وَاجتَمَعُوا فِي وادِي السَّدِيمِ. وَهُوَ يُدْعَى الآنَ بَحرُ المِلحِ.

4 T welve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

خَضَعُوا لِكَدَرلَعُومَرَ اثْنَتَي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً. لَكِنَّهُمْ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيهِ فِي السَّنَةِ الثّالِثَةَ عَشْرَةَ.

5 A nd 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,

وَفِي السَّنَةِ الرّابِعَةَ عَشْرَةَ جاءَ كَدَرلَعُومَرُ وَالمُلُوكُ مَعَهُ، وَهَزَمُوا الرِّفائِيِّينَ فِي عَشْتارُوثَ قَرْنايِيمَ. كَما هَزَمُوا الزُّوزِيِّينَ فِي هامَ. وَهَزَمُوا الإيمِيِّينَ فِي شَوَى قِرْياتايِمَ.

6 A nd the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness.

وَهَزَمُوا الحُورِيِّينَ فِي جِبالِ سَعِيرَ وَحَتَّى فارانَ. وَتَقَعُ فارانُ عَلَى حافَّةِ الصَّحْراءِ.

7 A nd 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.

ثُمَّ رَجِعَ كَدَرلَعُومَرُ وَالمُلُوكُ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ، وَوَصَلُوا إلَى عَينِ مِشْفاطَ، أي قادِشَ. وَأخضَعُوا كُلَّ بِلادِ العَمالِقَةِ وَأيضاً الأمُورِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ يَسْكُنُونَ فِي حَصُّونَ ثامارَ.

8 A nd 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;

ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مُلُوكُ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَأدْمَةَ وَصَبُويِيمَ وَبالَعَ، وَحَشَدُوا قُوّاتِهِمْ لِلمَعْرَكَةِ فِي وادِي السِّدِّيمِ.

9 W ith 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.

وَحارَبُوا كَدَرلَعُومَرَ مَلِكَ عِيلامَ، وَتِدْعالَ مَلِكَ جُويِيمَ، وَأمْرافَلَ مَلِكَ شِنْعارَ، وَأرْيُوكَ مَلِكَ ألّاسارَ. فَكانَ هُناكَ أرْبَعَةُ مُلُوكٍ ضِدَّ خَمْسَةٍ.

10 A nd 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.

وَكانَ وادِي السِّدِّيمِ مَلِيئاً بِحُفَرِ القارِ. فَلَمّا هَرَبَ مَلِكا سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَجُيُوشُهُما، وَقَعَ بَعْضُهُمْ فِيها. أمّا الآخَرُونَ فَهَرَبُوا إلَى الجِبالِ.

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

فَغَنِمَ كَدَرلَعُومَرُ وَحُلَفاؤُهُ كُلَّ مُقْتَنَياتِ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَكُلَّ ما فِيها مِنْ طَعامٍ، ثُمَّ مَضُوا.

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

وَبِما أنْ لُوطَ ابْنَ أخِي أبْرامَ كانَ يَسْكُنُ فِي سَدُومَ، أخَذُوهُ أيضاً وَكُلَّ مُقْتَنَياتِهِ وَمَضُوا.

13 A nd 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.

فَهَرَبَ أحَدُهُمْ وَجاءَ إلَى إبْراهِيمَ العِبْرانِيِّ وَأخْبَرَهُ بِما جَرَى. وَكانَ أبْرامُ ساكِناً قُرْبَ بَلُّوطاتِ مَمْرا الأمُورِيِّ، أخِي أشْكُولَ وَعانِرَ. وَكانَ هَؤُلاءِ مُرْتَبِطِينَ بِعَهْدٍ مَعَ أبْرامَ. أبْرامُ ينقذُ لُوط

14 A nd 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.

فَلَمّا سَمِعَ أبْرامُ أنَّ قَرِيبَهُ أُسِرَ، جَمَعَ رِجالَهُ المُدَرَّبِينَ الَّذينَ وُلِدُوا فِي بَيتِهِ – وَعَدَدُهُمْ ثَلاثُ مِئَةٍ وَثَمانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ رَجُلاً – وَلَحِقَ بِالعَدُوِّ حَتَّى دانَ.

15 A nd 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.

وَفِي اللَّيلِ قَسَمَ خَدَمَهُ إلَى قِسْمَينِ. فَهَجَمُوا عَلَى الأعْداءِ وَهَزَمُوهُمْ. وَطارَدُوهُمْ حَتَّى حُوبَةَ شَمالَ دِمْشْقَ.

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

وَتَمَكَّنَ مِنَ اسْتِرْجاعِ كُلِّ المُقْتَنَياتِ. كَما اسْتَرْجَعَ لُوطَ وَمُمْتَلَكاتِهِ. وِاسْتَرَدَّ أيضاً النِّساءَ وَبَقِيَّةَ الأسْرَى.

17 A nd 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.

وَبَعْدَ عَوْدَةِ أبْرامَ مِنَ المَعْرَكَةِ الَّتِي هَزَمَ فِيها كَدَرلَعُومَرَ وَالمُلُوكَ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ، خَرَجَ مَلِكُ سَدُومَ لِمُلاقاتِهِ فِي وادِي شَوَى، أي وادِي المَلِكِ. مَلْكِيصادَق

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

وَكانَ مَلْكِيصادَقُ مَلِكاً عَلَى سالِيمَ. وَقَدْ أخَذَ خُبْزاً وَنَبيذاً – إذْ كانَ كاهِناً للهِ العَلِيِّ –

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

وَبارَكَ أبْرامَ وَقالَ: «مُبارَكٌ أبْرامُ مِنَ اللهِ العَلِيِّ الَّذِي صَنَعَ السَّماءَ وَالأرْضَ.

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

وَمُبارَكٌ اللهُ العَلِيُّ الَّذِي نَصَرَكَ عَلَى أعْدائِكَ.» وَأعطَى أبْرامُ مَلْكِيصادَقَ عُشْراً مِنْ كُلِّ ما غَنِمَهُ مِنَ الحَرْبِ.

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

ثُمَّ قالَ مَلِكُ سَدُومَ لِأبْرامَ: «رُدَّ لِي أسْرايَ، وَاحتَفِظْ لِنَفْسِكَ بِمُقْتَنَياتِنا الَّتِي غَنِمْتَها.»

22 A nd 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,

فَقالَ أبْرامُ لِمَلِكِ سَدُومَ: «رَفَعْتُ يَدِي إلَى اللهِ العَلِيِّ الَّذِي صَنَعَ السَّماءَ وَالأرْضَ، وَعاهَدْتُهُ

23 T hat 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:

أنْ لا آخُذَ مِنْكَ وَلَوْ خَيطاً أوْ رِباطَ حِذاءٍ. حَتَّى لا تَقُولَ: ‹أغْنَيتُ أبْرامَ.›

24 S ave 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.

سَأعْتَبِرُ أنَّ نَصيبي هُوَ ما أكَلَهُ هَؤُلاءِ الفِتْيانُ. أمّا الرِّجالُ الَّذِينَ جاءُوا مَعِي: عانِرُ وَأشْكُولُ وَمَمْرا، فَلْيَأْخُذُوا نَصِيبَهُمْ.»
