Yaratılış 14

¹Sennaar kralı Amarfal'ın krallığı döneminde, Elasar kralı Arioh, Elam kralı Hodollogomor ve uluslar kralı Targal zamanında şöyle oldu:

²Sodom kralı Balla'ya, Gomora kralı Barsa'ya, Adama kralı Sennaar'a, Seboyim kralı Simobor'ya ve Balak (yani Segor) kralına karşı savaş açtılar.

³Bunların hepsi tuzlu yarıkta (yani Tuz Denizi'nde) bir araya geldiler.

⁴On iki yıl boyunca Hodollogomor'a kulluk etmişler, ama on üçüncü yılda başkaldırmışlardı.

⁵On dördüncü yılda Hodollogomor ve yanındaki krallar gelip Astarot ve Karnayin'deki devleri, onlarla birlikte olan güçlü ulusları ve Şave kentindeki Omayları bozguna uğrattılar.

⁶Seir dağlarındaki Horluları da çölde bulunan Paran'ın terebint ağacına kadar sürdüler.

⁷Sonra geri dönüp Hüküm Pınarı'na (yani Kadeş'e) geldiler; Amalek'in bütün önderlerini ve Asason-Tamar'da yaşayan Amorluları bozguna uğrattılar.

⁸Bunun üzerine Sodom kralı, Gomora kralı, Adama kralı, Seboyim kralı ve Balak (yani Segor) kralı yola çıkıp tuzlu vadide onlara karşı savaş düzeni aldılar.

⁹Elam kralı Hodollogomor'a, uluslar kralı Targal'a, Sennaar kralı Amarfal'a ve Elasar kralı Arioh'a karşı; dört kral beş krala karşıydı.

¹⁰Tuzlu vadi ise zift kuyularıyla doluydu. Sodom ve Gomora kralları kaçarken buralara düştüler; geride kalanlar ise dağlık bölgeye kaçtılar.

¹¹Gelenler Sodom ve Gomora'nın bütün atlı varlığını ve tüm yiyeceklerini alıp gittiler.

¹²Abram'ın kardeşinin oğlu Lut'u ve onun bütün eşyasını da alıp götürdüler; çünkü Lut Sodom'da yaşıyordu.

¹³Kaçıp kurtulanlardan biri gelip karşı yakadan geçen İbrani Abram'a haberi ulaştırdı. Abram o sırada, Abram'la yeminli müttefik olan Eşkol ve Avnan'ın kardeşi Amorlu Mamre'nin meşe ağaçlığının yanında yaşıyordu.

¹⁴Abram, yeğeni Lut'un tutsak alındığını duyunca, kendi evinde doğup büyümüş olan üç yüz on sekiz adamını sayıp listeledi ve düşmanları Dan'a kadar kovaladı.

¹⁵Geceleyin kendisi ve hizmetkarları onlara karşı bölündü, onlara saldırdı, onları bozguna uğratıp Şam'ın solundaki Hoba'ya kadar kovaladı.

¹⁶Sodom'un bütün atlı varlığını geri getirdi; yeğeni Lut'u, onun mülkünü, kadınları ve halkı da geri getirdi.

¹⁷Abram'ın Hodollogomor'u ve yanındaki kralları bozguna uğratıp dönmesinden sonra, Sodom kralı onu karşılamak üzere Saby vadisine (yani Krallar Ovası'na) çıktı.

¹⁸Salem kralı Melkisedek de ekmek ve şarap çıkardı; kendisi en yüce Tanrı'nın rahibiydi.

¹⁹Abram'ı kutsayarak şöyle dedi: "Göğü ve yeri kuran en yüce Tanrı tarafından kutsansın Abram.

²⁰Düşmanlarını senin eline teslim eden en yüce Tanrı'ya övgüler olsun!" Abram da ona her şeyin ondalığını verdi.

²¹Sodom kralı Abram'a, "Adamları bana ver, atlı varlığını ise kendine al" dedi.

²²Ama Abram Sodom kralına, "Göğü ve yeri kuran en yüce Tanrı olan Rab'be elimi kaldırıp ant içerim ki," dedi,

²³"Sana ait olan şeylerden bir iplikten bir çarık bağına kadar hiçbir şey almayacağım; öyle ki, 'Abram'ı ben zengin ettim' demeyesin.

²⁴Yalnızca gençlerin yediklerini ve benimle birlikte gelen adamların, yani Eşkol, Avnan ve Mamre'nin payını hariç tutuyorum; onlar kendi paylarını alsınlar."

¹ΕΓΕΝΕΤΟ δὲ ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῇ ᾿Αμαρφὰλ βασιλέως Σενναάρ, καὶ ᾿Αριὼχ βασιλέως ᾿Ελλασάρ, Χοδολλογομὸρ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ελὰμ καὶ Θαργὰλ βασιλεὺς ἐθνῶν

²ἐποίησαν πόλεμον μετὰ Βαλλὰ βασιλέως Σοδόμων καὶ μετὰ Βαρσὰ βασιλέως Γομόρρας καὶ μετὰ Σενναὰρ βασιλέως ᾿Αδαμὰ καὶ μετὰ Συμοβὸρ βασιλέως Σεβωείμ, καὶ βασιλέως Βαλὰκ (αὕτη ἐστὶ Σηγώρ).

³πάντες οὗτοι συνεφώνησαν ἐπὶ τὴν φάραγγα τὴν ἁλυκὴν (αὕτη ἡ θάλασσα τῶν ἁλῶν).

⁴δώδεκα ἔτη αὐτοὶ ἐδούλευσαν τῷ Χοδολλογομόρ, τῷ δὲ τρισκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει ἀπέστησαν.

⁵ἐν δὲ τῷ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει ἦλθε Χοδολλογομὸρ καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ κατέκοψαν τοὺς γίγαντας τοὺς ἐν ᾿Ασταρὼθ καὶ Καρναΐν, καὶ ἔθνη ἰσχυρὰ ἅμα αὐτοῖς καὶ τοὺς ᾿Ομμαίους τοὺς ἐν Σαυῇ τῇ πόλει

⁶καὶ τοὺς Χορραίους τοὺς ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσι Σηείρ, ἕως τῆς τερεβίνθου τῆς Φαράν, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.

⁷καὶ ἀναστρέψαντες ἦλθον ἐπὶ τὴν πηγὴν τῆς κρίσεως (αὕτη ἐστὶ Κάδης) καὶ κατέκοψαν πάντας τοὺς ἄρχοντας ᾿Αμαλὴκ καὶ τοὺς ᾿Αμορραίους τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν ᾿Ασασονθαμάρ.

⁸ἐξῆλθε δὲ βασιλεὺς Σοδόμων καὶ βασιλεὺς Γομόρρας καὶ βασιλεὺς ᾿Αδαμὰ καὶ βασιλεὺς Σεβωεὶμ καὶ βασιλεὺς Βαλάκ (αὕτη ἐστὶ Σηγώρ) καὶ παρετάξαντο αὐτοῖς εἰς πόλεμον ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τῇ ἁλυκῇ,

⁹πρὸς Χοδολλογομὸρ βασιλέα ᾿Ελὰμ καὶ Θαργὰλ βασιλέα ἐθνῶν καὶ ᾿Αμαρφὰλ βασιλέα Σενναὰρ καὶ ᾿Αριὼχ βασιλέα ᾿Ελλασάρ, οἱ τέσσαρες βασιλεῖς πρὸς τοὺς πέντε.

¹⁰ἡ δὲ κοιλὰς ἡ ἁλυκή, φρέατα ἀσφάλτου. ἔφυγε δὲ βασιλεὺς Σοδόμων καὶ βασιλεὺς Γομόρρας καὶ ἐνέπεσαν ἐκεῖ, οἱ δὲ καταλειφθέντες εἰς τὴν ὀρεινὴν ἔφυγον.

¹¹ἔλαβον δὲ τὴν ἵππον πᾶσαν τὴν Σοδόμων καὶ Γομόρρας καὶ πάντα τὰ βρώματα αὐτῶν καὶ ἀπῆλθον.

¹²ἔλαβον δὲ καὶ τὸν Λὼτ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ ῞Αβραμ καὶ τὴν ἀποσκευὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπῴχοντο· ἦν γὰρ κατοικῶν ἐν Σοδόμοις.

¹³Παραγενόμενος δὲ τῶν ἀνασωθέντων τις ἀπήγγειλεν ῞Αβραμ τῷ περάτῃ· αὐτὸς δὲ κατῴκει παρὰ τῇ δρυῒ τῇ Μαμβρῇ ᾿Αμορραίου τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ ᾿Εσχὼλ καὶ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ Αὐνάν, οἳ ἦσαν συνωμόται τοῦ ῞Αβραμ.

¹⁴ἀκούσας δὲ ῞Αβραμ ὅτι ᾐχμαλώτευται Λὼτ ὁ ἀδελφιδοῦς αὐτοῦ, ἠρίθμησε τοὺς ἰδίους οἰκογενεῖς αὐτοῦ, τριακοσίους δέκα καὶ ὀκτώ, καὶ κατεδίωξεν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ἕως Δάν.

¹⁵καὶ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς τὴν νύκτα αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς καὶ κατεδίωξεν αὐτοὺς ἕως Χοβά, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν ἀριστερᾷ Δαμασκοῦ.

¹⁶καὶ ἀπέστρεψε πᾶσαν τὴν ἵππον Σοδόμων, καὶ Λὼτ τὸν ἀδελφιδοῦν αὐτοῦ ἀπέστρεψε καὶ πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας καὶ τὸν λαόν.

¹⁷᾿Εξῆλθε δὲ βασιλεὺς Σοδόμων εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ, μετὰ τὸ ὑποστρέψαι αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῆς κοπῆς τοῦ Χοδολλογομὸρ καὶ τῶν βασιλέων τῶν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὴν κοιλάδα τοῦ Σαβὺ (τοῦτο ἦν τὸ πεδίον τῶν βασιλέων).

¹⁸καὶ Μελχισεδὲκ βασιλεὺς Σαλὴμ ἐξήνεγκεν ἄρτους καὶ οἶνον· ἦν δὲ ἱερεὺς τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ὑψίστου.

¹⁹καὶ εὐλόγησε τὸν Ἅβραμ καὶ εἶπεν· εὐλογημένος ῞Αβραμ τῷ Θεῷ τῷ ὑψίστῳ, ὃς ἔκτισε τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν.

²⁰καὶ εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ὕψιστος, ὃς παρέδωκε τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποχειρίους σοι. καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ῞Αβραμ δεκάτην ἀπὸ πάντων.

²¹εἶπε δὲ βασιλεὺς Σοδόμων πρὸς ῞Αβραμ· δός μοι τοὺς ἄνδρας, τὴν δὲ ἵππον λάβε σεαυτῷ.

²²εἶπε δὲ ῞Αβραμ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Σοδόμων· ἐκτενῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου πρὸς Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τὸν ὕψιστον, ὃς ἔκτισε τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν,

²³εἰ ἀπὸ σπαρτίου ἕως σφυρωτῆρος ὑποδήματος λήψομαι ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν σῶν, ἵνα μὴ εἴπῃς, ὅτι ἐγὼ ἐπλούτισα τὸν Ἅβραμ·

²⁴πλὴν ὧν ἔφαγον οἱ νεανίσκοι καὶ τῆς μερίδος τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν συμπορευθέντων μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ, ᾿Εσχώλ, Αὐνάν, Μαμβρῆ, οὗτοι λήψονται μερίδα.

¹AND it came to pass in the reign of Amarphal king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, that Chodollogomor king of Elam, and Thargal king of nations,

²made war with Balla king of Sodom, and with Barsa king of Gomorrha, and with Sennaar, king of Adama, and with Symobor king of Seboim and the king of Balac, this is Segor.

³All these met with one consent at the salt valley; this is [now] the sea of salt.

⁴Twelve years they served Chodollogomor, and the thirteenth year they revolted.

⁵And in the fourteenth year came Chodollogomor, and the kings with him, and cut to pieces the giants in Astaroth, and Carnain, and strong nations with them, and the Ommaeans in the city Save.

⁶And the Chorrhaeans in the mountains of Seir, to the turpentine tree of Pharan, which is in the desert.

⁷And having turned back they came to the well of judgment; this is Cades, and they cut in pieces all the princes of Amalec, and the Amorites dwelling in Asasonthamar.

⁸And the king of Sodom went out, and the king of Gomorrha, and king of Adama, and king of Seboim, and king of Balac, this is Segor, and they set themselves in array against them for war in the salt valley,

⁹against Chodollogomor king of Elam, and Thargal king of nations, and Amarphal king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, the four kings against the five.

¹⁰Now the salt valley [consists of] slime-pits. And the king of Sodom fled and the king of Gomorrha, and they fell in there: and they that were left fled to the mountain country.

¹¹And they took all the cavalry of Sodom and Gomorrha, and all their provisions, and departed.

¹²And they took also Lot the son of Abram's brother, and his baggage, and departed, for he dwelt in Sodom.

¹³And one of them that had been rescued came and told Abram the Hebrew; and he dwelt by the oak of Mamre the Amorite the brother of Eschol, and the brother of Aunan, who were confederates with Abram.

¹⁴And Abram having heard that Lot his nephew had been taken captive, numbered his own home-born [servants] three hundred and eighteen, and pursued after them to Dan.

¹⁵And he came upon them by night, he and his servants, and he smote them and pursued them as far as Choba, which is on the left of Damascus.

¹⁶And he recovered all the cavalry of Sodom, and he recovered Lot his nephew, and all his possessions, and the women and the people.

¹⁷And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter of Chodollogomor, and the kings with him, to the valley of Saby; this was the plain of the kings.

¹⁸And Melchisedec king of Salem brought forth loaves and wine, and he was the priest of the most high God.

¹⁹And he blessed Abram, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, who made heaven and earth,

²⁰and blessed be the most high God who delivered thine enemies into thy power. And Abram gave him the tithe of all.

²¹And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the men, and take the horses to thyself.

²²And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I will stretch out my hand to the Lord the most high God, who made the heaven and the earth,

²³[that] I will not take from all thy goods from a string to a shoe-latchet, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich.

²⁴Except what things the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men that went with me, Eschol, Aunan, Mambre, these shall take a portion.
