1 Aconteceu nos dias de Anrafel, rei de Sinear, Arioque, rei de Elasar, Quedorlaomer, rei de Elão, e Tidal, rei de Goim,
2 que fizeram estes guerra contra Bera, rei de Sodoma, contra Birsa, rei de Gomorra, contra Sinabe, rei de Admá, contra Semeber, rei de Zeboim e contra o rei de Belá (esta é Zoar).
3 Todos estes se ajuntaram no vale de Sidim (este é o Mar Salgado).
4 Doze anos serviram a Quedorlaomer, mas no décimo terceiro se rebelaram.
5 Ao décimo quarto ano veio Quedorlaomer, e os reis que estavam com ele, e feriram aos refains em Asterote-Carnaim, aos zuzins em Hã, aos emins em Savé-Quiriataim.
6 e aos horeus no seu monte Seir, até El-Parã, que está junto ao deserto.
7 Na volta vieram a En-Mispate (que é Cades) e feriram toda a terra dos amalequitas, e também aos amorreus, que habitavam em Hazazom-Tamar.
8 Então saíram os reis de Sodoma, de Gomorra, de Admá, de Zeboim e de Bela (esta é Zoar); e ordenaram batalha contra eles no vale de Sidim,
9 contra Quedorlaomer, rei de Elão, contra Tidal, rei de Goim, contra Anrafel, rei de Sinear, e contra Arioque, rei de Elasar; quatro reis contra cinco.
10 Ora o vale de Sidim estava cheio de poços de betume; fugiram os reis de Sodoma e de Gomorra, e caíram ali; e os restantes fugiram para o monte.
11 Eles tomaram todos os bens de Sodoma e Gomorra com os seus víveres, e foram-se.
12 Levaram também a Ló, filho do irmão de Abrão, que morava em Sodoma, e os bens dele, e partiram.
13 Veio um que escapara, e deu parte a Abrão, o hebreu. Ora ele habitava perto dos terebintos de Manre, o amorreu, irmão de Escol e de Aner; estes eram aliados de Abrão.
14 Tendo Abrão ouvido que seu irmão estava preso, levou os seus homens mais bem disciplinados, nascidos em sua casa, em número de trezentos e dezoito, e os perseguiu até Dã.
15 Dividiu-se contra eles de noite, ele e seus servos, e, ferindo-os, os perseguiu até Hobá, que fica à esquerda de Damasco.
16 Tornou a trazer todos os bens, e tornou a trazer também a Ló, seu irmão, e os seus bens, e também as mulheres e o povo.
17 O rei de Sodoma saiu-lhe ao encontro, depois que voltou de ferir a Quedorlaomer e aos reis que estavam com ele, no vale de Savé (que é o vale do rei).
18 Melquisedeque, rei de Salém, trouxe pão e vinho: este era sacerdote do Deus Altíssimo.
19 Abençoou a Abrão, e disse: Bendito seja Abrão pelo Deus Altíssimo, Criador do céu e da terra!
20 e bendito seja o Deus Altíssimo, que entregou os teus inimigos às tuas mãos! Abrão deu-lhe o dízimo de tudo.
21 Então o rei de Sodoma disse a Abrão: Dá-me a mim as pessoas, e toma para ti os bens.
22 Respondeu-lhe Abrão: Levanto a minha mão para Jeová, Deus Altíssimo, Criador do céu e da terra,
23 jurando que não tomarei nada de tudo o que é teu, nem um fio nem uma correia dos sapatos, para que não digas: Eu enriqueci a Abrão:
24 salvo o que os mancebos comeram, e a porção que toca aos homens Aner, Escol e Manre, que foram comigo; que estes tomem a sua porção.
1 Now in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,
2 They 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).
3 All these came together in the valley of Siddim (which is the Salt Sea).
4 For twelve years they were under the rule of Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they put off his control.
5 And in the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer and the kings who were on his side, overcame the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
6 And the Horites in their mountain Seir, driving them as far as El-paran, which is near the waste land.
7 Then they came back to En-mishpat (which is Kadesh), making waste all the country of the Amalekites and of the Amorites living in Hazazon-tamar.
8 And the king of Sodom with the king of Gomorrah and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (that is Zoar), went out, and put their forces in position in the valley of Siddim,
9 Against Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim, and Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Ellasar: four kings against the five.
10 Now the valley of Siddim was full of holes of sticky earth; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah were put to flight and came to their end there, but the rest got away to the mountain.
11 And the four kings took all the goods and food from Sodom and Gomorrah and went on their way.
12 And in addition they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who was living in Sodom, and all his goods.
13 And one who had got away from the fight came and gave word of it to Abram the Hebrew, who was living by the holy tree of Mamre, the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol and Aner, who were friends of Abram.
14 And Abram, hearing that his brother's son had been made a prisoner, took a band of his trained men, three hundred and eighteen of them, sons of his house, and went after them as far as Dan.
15 And separating his forces by night, he overcame them, putting them to flight and going after them as far as Hobah, which is on the north side of Damascus.
16 And he got back all the goods, and Lot, his brother's son, with his goods and the women and the people.
17 And when he was coming back after putting to flight Chedorlaomer and the other kings, he had a meeting with the king of Sodom in the valley of Shaveh, that is, the King's Valley.
18 And Melchizedek, king of Salem, the priest of the Most High God, took bread and wine,
19 And blessing him, said, May the blessing of the Most High God, maker of heaven and earth, be on Abram:
20 And let the Most High God be praised, who has given into your hands those who were against you. Then Abram gave him a tenth of all the goods he had taken.
21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the prisoners and take the goods for yourself.
22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have taken an oath to the Lord, the Most High God, maker of heaven and earth,
23 That I will not take so much as a thread or the cord of a shoe of yours; so that you may not say, I have given wealth to Abram:
24 Give me nothing but the food which the fighting-men who went with me have had; but let Aner and Eshcol and Mamre have their part of the goods.
