Genesis 14

vayehi bime amrafel melekh-shinar aryokh melekh ellasar kedorla'omer melekh elam vetidal melekh goyim

Now, when King Amraphel of Shinar, King Arioch of Ellasar, King Chedorlaomer of Elam, and King Tidal of Goiim

asu milkhamah et-bera melekh sedom ve'et-birsha melekh amorah shinav melekh admah veshemever melekh (tsvyym) [tsevoyim] umelekh bela hi-tso'ar

made war on King Bera of Sodom, King Birsha of Gomorrah, King Shinab of Admah, King Shemeber of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar,

kol-elleh khaveru el-emeq hassiddim hu yam hammelakh

all the latter joined forces at the Valley of Siddim, now the Dead Sea.

shetem esreh shanah avedu et-kedorla'omer ushelosh-esreh shanah maradu

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

uve'arba esreh shanah ba khedorla'omer vehammelakhim asher itto vayyakku et-refa'im be'ashterot qarnayim ve'et-hazzuzim beham ve'et ha'emim beshaveh qiryatayim

In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and defeated the Rephaim at Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzim at Ham, the Emim at Shaveh-kiriathaim,

ve'et-hakhori beharram se'ir ad el paran asher al-hammidbar

and the Horites in their hill country of Seir as far as El-paran, which is by the wilderness.

vayyashuvu vayyavo'u el-en mishpat hiv qadesh vayyakku et-kol-sedeh ha'amaleqi vegam et-ha'emori hayyoshev bekhatstson tamar

On their way back they came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and subdued all the territory of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who dwelt in Hazazon-tamar.

vayyetse melekh-sedom umelekh amorah umelekh admah umelekh (tsvyym) [tsevoyim] umelekh bela hiv-tso'ar vayya'arkhu ittam milkhamah be'emeq hassiddim

Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar, went forth and engaged them in battle in the Valley of Siddim:

et kedorla'omer melekh elam vetidal melekh goyim ve'amrafel melekh shinar ve'aryokh melekh ellasar arba'ah melakhim et-hakhamisha

King Chedorlaomer of Elam, King Tidal of Goiim, King Amraphel of Shinar, and King Arioch of Ellasar—four kings against those five.

ve'emeq hassiddim be'erot be'erot khemar vayyanusu melekh-sedom va'amorah vayyippelu-shammah vehannisharim herah nasu

Now the Valley of Siddim was dotted with bitumen pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah, in their flight, threw themselves into them, while the rest escaped to the hill country.

vayyiqkhu et-kol-rekhush sedom va'amorah ve'et-kol-okhlam vayyelekhu

[The invaders] seized all the wealth of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their provisions, and went their way.

vayyiqkhu et-lot ve'et-rekhusho ben-akhi avram vayyelekhu vehu yoshev bisdom

They also took Lot, the son of Abram’s brother, and his possessions, and departed; for he had settled in Sodom.

vayyavo happalit vayyagged le'avram ha'ivri vehu shokhen be'elone mamre ha'emori akhi eshkol va'akhi aner vehem ba'ale verit-avram

A fugitive brought the news to Abram the Hebrew, who was dwelling at the terebinths of Mamre the Amorite, kinsman of Eshkol and Aner, these being Abram’s allies.

vayyishma avram ki nishbah akhiv vayyareq et-khanikhayw yelide veto shemonah asar ushelosh me'ot vayyirdof ad-dan

When Abram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he mustered his retainers, born into his household, numbering three hundred and eighteen, and went in pursuit as far as Dan.

vayyekhaleq alehem laylah hu va'avadayw vayyakkem vayyirdefem ad-khovah asher missemol ledammaseq

At night, he and his servants deployed against them and defeated them; and he pursued them as far as Hobah, which is north of Damascus.

vayyashev et kol-harekhush vegam et-lot akhiv urekhusho heshiv vegam et-hannashim ve'et-ha'am

He brought back all the possessions; he also brought back his kinsman Lot and his possessions, and the women and the rest of the people.

vayyetse melekh-sedom liqrato akhare shuvo mehakkot et-kedorla'omer ve'et-hammelakhim asher itto el-emeq shaveh hu emeq hammelekh

When he returned from defeating Chedorlaomer and the kings with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh, which is the Valley of the King.

umalki-tsedeq melekh shalem hotsi lekhem vayayin vehu khohen le'el elyon

And King Melchizedek of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was a priest of God Most High.

vayevarekhehu vayyomar barukh avram le'el elyon qoneh shamayim va'arets

He blessed him, saying, “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.

uvarukh el elyon asher-miggen tsarekha beyadekha vayyitten-lo ma'aser mikkol

And blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your foes into your hand.”And [Abram] gave him a tenth of everything.

vayyomer melekh-sedom el-avram ten-li hannefesh veharekhush qakh-lakh

Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the persons, and take the possessions for yourself.”

vayyomer avram el-melekh sedom harimoti yadi el-Adonai el elyon qoneh shamayim va'arets

But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I swear to the ETERNAL, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth:

im-mikhut ve'ad serokh-na'al ve'im-eqqakh mikkol-asher-lakh velo tomar ani he'esharti et-avram

I will not take so much as a thread or a sandal strap of what is yours; you shall not say, ‘It is I who made Abram rich.’

biladay raq asher okhlu hanne'arim vekheleq ha'anashim asher halekhu itti aner eshkol umamre hem yiqkhu khelqam

For me, nothing but what my servants have used up; as for the share of those who went with me—Aner, Eshkol, and Mamre—let them take their share.”
