Génesis 14
1Aconteció que en los días de Amrafel, rey de Sínear; Arioc, rey de Elasar; Codorlaómer, rey de Elam, y Tidal, de Goím, Now it happened in that time that Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Pontus, and Chedorlaomer, king of the Elamites, and Tidal, king of the Nations,2hicieron guerra a Bera, rey de Sodoma; a Birsá, rey de Gomorra; a Sinab, rey de Adamá; a Seméber, rey de Seboím, y al rey de Bela, que es Segor. went to war against Bera, king of Sodom, and against Birsha, king of Gomorrah, and against Shinab, king of Admah, and against Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and against the king of Bela, that is Zoar.3Todos estos se juntaron en el valle de Siddim, que (ahora) es el Mar Salado. All these came together in the wooded valley, which is now the Sea of Salt.4Doce años habían servido a Codorlaómer, mas el año decimotercero se rebelaron. For they had served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they withdrew from him.5Vinieron, pues, en el año decimocuarto Codorlaómer, y los reyes con él coaligados y derrotaron a los refaítas en Astarot-Carnaim, a los susitas en Ham, a los emeos en Savé-Cariataim, Therefore, in the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer arrived, and the kings who were with him. And they struck the Rephaim at Ashteroth of the two horns, and the Zuzim with them, and the Emim at Shaveh-Kiriathaim.6y a los horreos en sus montes en Seír, hasta El-Farán, que está junto al desierto. and the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the plains of Paran, which is in the wilderness.7Y volviéndose vinieron a En-Mispar, que es Cades, y derrotaron todo el campo de los amalecitas, y también a los amorreos que habitaban en Hazazón-Tamar. And they returned and arrived at the fountain of Mishpat, which is Kadesh. And they struck the entire region of the Amalekites, and the Amorites who dwelt in Hazazontamar.8Salieron entonces el rey de Sodoma, y el rey de Gomorra, y el rey de Adamá, y el rey de Seboím, y el rey de Bela, que es Segor, y ordenaron batalla contra ellos en el valle de Siddim; And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and indeed the king of Bela, which is Zoar, went forth. And they directed their point against them in the wooded valley,9esto es, contra Codorlaómer, rey de Elam; Tidal, rey de Gím; Amrafel, rey de Sinear, y Arioc, rey de Elasar; cuatro reyes contra cinco. namely, against Chedorlaomer, king of the Elamites, and Tidal, king of the Nations, and Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Pontus: four kings against five.10Ahora bien, había en el valle de Siddim muchísimos pozos de betún; cuando huyeron los reyes de Sodoma y Gomorra cayeron en ellos. Los demás huyeron a la montaña. Now the wooded valley had many pits of bitumen. And so the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah turned back and they fell there. And those who remained, fled to the mountain.11(Los invasores) se llevaron toda la hacienda de Sodoma y Gomorra y todos sus víveres y se marcharon. Then they took all the substance of the Sodomites and the Gomorrhites, and all that pertained to food, and they went away,12Se llevaron también a Lot, hijo del hermano de Abram, y su hacienda, pues él habitaba en Sodoma, y se fueron. along with both Lot, the son of Abram’s brother, who lived in Sodom, and his substance.13Mas uno que escapó, fue a avisar a Abram el hebreo, el cual habitaba en el encinar de Mamré, el amorreo, hermano de Escol y hermano de Aner, los cuales eran aliados de Abram. And behold, one who had escaped reported it to Abram the Hebrew, who lived in the steep valley of Mamre the Amorite, who was the brother of Eshcol, and the brother of Aner. For these had formed an agreement with Abram.14Y como oyese Abram que su hermano había sido hecho prisionero, reclutó entre los siervos nacidos en su casa a los más adiestrados, en número de trescientos diez y ocho, y persiguió (a los invasores) hasta Dan. When Abram had heard this, namely, that his brother Lot had been taken captive, he numbered three hundred and eighteen of his own armed men and he went in pursuit all the way to Dan.15Y habiendo dividió su tropa (cayó) sobre ellos durante la noche, él y sus siervos, los derrotó y los persiguió hasta Hobá, que está a la izquierda de Damasco. And dividing his company, he rushed upon them in the night. And he struck them and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.16Y recuperó toda la hacienda, y también a su hermano Lot con sus bienes; y asimismo a las mujeres y la gente. And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his brother, with his substance, likewise the women and the people.17Cuando regresaba tras la derrota de Codorlaómer y de los reyes que con él estaba, le salió al encuentro el rey de Sodoma en el valle de Savé, que es el valle del Rey. Then the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter at Chedorlaomer, and the kings who were with him at the valley of Shaveh, which is the valley of the king.18Entonces Melquisedec, rey de Salem, presentó pan y vino, pues era sacerdote del Dios altísimo. Then in truth, Melchizedek, the king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine, for he was a priest of the Most High God;19Y le bendijo, diciendo “¡Bendito sea Abram del Dios altísimo, Señor del cielo y de la tierra! he blessed him, and he said: “Blessed be Abram by the Most High God, who created heaven and earth.20¡Y bendito sea el Dios altísimo, que puso tus enemigos en sus manos!” Y le dio (Abram) el diezmo de todo. And blessed be the Most High God, through whose protection the enemies are in your hands.” And he gave him tithes from everything.21Dijo luego el rey de Sodoma a Abram: “Dame la gente, mas la hacienda tómala para ti.” Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me these souls, and take the rest for yourself.”22Pero Abram dijo al rey de Sodoma: “Levanto mi mano (jurando) por Yahvé, Dios altísimo, Señor del cielo y de la tierra, And he responded to him: “I lift up my hand to the Lord God, the Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth,23que ni un hilo, ni la correa de un zapato, tomaré de lo que es tuyo, no sea que digas: “Yo he enriquecido a Abram”; that from one thread within a blanket, even to a single shoelace, I will not take anything from that which is yours, lest you say, ‘I have enriched Abram,’24a excepción de lo que han comido los muchachos, y la porción de esos varones que vinieron conmigo, Aner, Escol y Mamré. Estos tomarán su porción.” except that which the young men have eaten, and the shares for the men who came with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. These will take their shares.”
