¹ وحدث في ايام أمرافل ملك شنعار وأريوك ملك ألاسار وكدرلعومر ملك عيلام وتدعال ملك جوييم

² ان هؤلاء صنعوا حربا مع بارع ملك سدوم وبرشاع ملك عمورة وشنآب ملك أدمة وشمئيبر ملك صبوييم وملك بالع التي هي صوغر.

³ جميع هؤلاء اجتمعوا متعاهدين الى عمق السديم الذي هو بحر الملح.

⁴ اثنتي عشرة سنة استعبدوا لكدرلعومر والسنة الثالثة عشرة عصوا عليه.

⁵ وفي السنة الرابعة عشرة اتى كدرلعومر والملوك الذين معه وضربوا الرفائيّين في عشتاروث قرنايم والزوزيين في هام والإيميين في شوى قريتايم

⁶ والحوريين في جبلهم سعير الى بطمة فاران التي عند البرية.

⁷ ثم رجعوا وجاءوا الى عين مشفاط التي هي قادش. وضربوا كل بلاد العمالقة وايضا الاموريين الساكنين في حصون تامار

⁸ فخرج ملك سدوم وملك عمورة وملك أدمة وملك صبوييم وملك بالع التي هي صوغر ونظموا حربا معهم في عمق السّدّيم.

⁹ مع كدرلعومر ملك عيلام وتدعال ملك جوييم وأمرافل ملك شنعار وأريوك ملك ألاسار. اربعة ملوك مع خمسة.

¹⁰ وعمق السديم كان فيه آبار حمر كثيرة. فهرب ملكا سدوم وعمورة وسقطا هناك. والباقون هربوا الى الجبل.

¹¹ فأخذوا جميع املاك سدوم وعمورة وجميع اطعمتهم ومضوا.

¹² وأخذوا لوطا ابن اخي ابرام واملاكه ومضوا. اذ كان ساكنا في سدوم

¹³ فأتى من نجا واخبر ابرام العبراني. وكان ساكنا عند بلوطات ممرا الاموري اخي اشكول واخي عانر. وكانوا اصحاب عهد مع ابرام.

¹⁴ فلما سمع ابرام ان اخاه سبي جرّ غلمانه المتمرّنين ولدان بيته ثلث مئة وثمانية عشر وتبعهم الى دان.

¹⁵ وانقسم عليهم ليلا هو وعبيده فكسرهم وتبعهم الى حوبة التي عن شمال دمشق.

¹⁶ واسترجع كل الاملاك واسترجع لوطا اخاه ايضا واملاكه والنساء ايضا والشعب

¹⁷ فخرج ملك سدوم لاستقباله بعد رجوعه من كسرة كدرلعومر والملوك الذين معه الى عمق شوى الذي هو عمق الملك.

¹⁸ وملكي صادق ملك شاليم اخرج خبزا وخمرا. وكان كاهنا للّه العلي

¹⁹ وباركه وقال مبارك ابرام من الله العلي مالك السموات والارض

²⁰ ومبارك الله العلي الذي اسلم اعداءك في يدك. فاعطاه عشرا من كل شيء.

²¹ وقال ملك سدوم لابرام اعطني النفوس واما الاملاك فخذها لنفسك.

²² فقال ابرام لملك سدوم رفعت يدي الى الرب الاله العلي مالك السماء والارض

²³ لا آخذنّ لا خيطا ولا شراك نعل ولا من كل ما هو لك. فلا تقول انا اغنيت ابرام.

²⁴ ليس لي غير الذي اكله الغلمان. واما نصيب الرجال الذين ذهبوا معي عانر واشكول وممرا فهم يأخذون نصيبهم

¹ It happened in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,

² that 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 (the same is Zoar).

³ All these joined together in the valley of Siddim (the same is the Salt Sea).

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

⁵ In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer came, and the kings who were with him, and struck the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

⁶ and the Horites in their Mount Seir, to Elparan, which is by the wilderness.

⁷ They returned, and came to En Mishpat (the same is Kadesh), and struck all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that lived in Hazazon Tamar.

⁸ 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) went out; and they set the battle in array against them 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 tar pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell there, and those who remained fled to the hills.

¹¹ They took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went their way.

¹² They took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who lived in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

¹³ One who had escaped came and told Abram, the Hebrew. Now he lived by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and these were allies of Abram.

¹⁴ When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.

¹⁵ He divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and struck them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.

¹⁶ He brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative, Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.

¹⁷ The king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley).

¹⁸ Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine: and he was priest of God Most High.

¹⁹ He blessed him, and said, "blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth:

²⁰ and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand." Abram gave him a tenth of all.

²¹ The king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people, and take the goods to yourself."

²² Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted up my hand to Yahweh, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,

²³ that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, 'I have made Abram rich.'

²⁴ I will accept nothing from you except that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their portion."
