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.

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.”
