1Pea naʻe hoko ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻAmilafeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Saina, mo ʻAlioke ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIlasa, mo Kitaleoma. Ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIlami, mo Titale ko e tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga;
1And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim,
2Naʻa nau tau mo Pila ko e tuʻi ʻo Sotoma, mo Pilisa ko e tuʻi ʻo Komola, mo Sinape ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAtima, mo Semipa ko e tuʻi ʻo Sepoimi, mo e tuʻi ʻo Pila ʻaia ʻoku ui ko Soa.
2that 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.
3Naʻe kātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Sitimi, ʻaia ko e tahi māsima.
3All these came as allies unto the vale of Siddim — the same is the Salt Sea.
4Naʻa nau tauhi kia Kitaleoma ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ua, pea nau angatuʻu ʻi hono hongofulu ma tolu ʻoe taʻu.
4Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
5Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Kitaleoma ʻi hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe taʻu, mo e ngaahi tuʻi naʻe ʻiate ia, pea taaʻi ʻae kakai Lifeime ʻi ʻAsitelote Kaneime, mo e kakai Susi ʻi Hami, mo e kakai Imime ʻi Seva Kiliateimi,
5And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
6Mo e kau Hoa ʻi honau moʻunga ko Seia, ʻo aʻu ki ʻEli-Pelani, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he toafa.
6and the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which is by the wilderness.
7Pea naʻa nau liu mai, ʻo hoko ki ʻEni-Misipate, ʻaia ko Ketesi, ʻo nau taaʻi ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻoe kakai ʻAmaleki, mo e kakai ʻAmoli foki, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Hesisone Tamali.
7And they turned back, and came to En-mishpat — the same is Kadesh — and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazazon-tamar.
8Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tuʻi ʻo Sotoma, mo e tuʻi ʻo Komola, mo e tuʻi ʻo ʻAtima, mo e tuʻi ʻo Sepoime, mo e tuʻi ʻo Pila (ʻa ia ko Soa;) pea nau tali tau kiate kinautolu ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Sitimi;
8And there went out 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; and they set the battle in array against them in the vale of Siddim;
9Kia Kitaleoma ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIlami, mo Titale ko e tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, mo ʻAmilafeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Saina, mo ʻAlioke ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIlasa; ko e tuʻi ʻe toko fā ki he toko nima.
9against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
10Pea naʻe fonu ʻae teleʻa ʻo Sitimi ʻi he ngaahi luo kelepulu: pea naʻe hola ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Sotoma mo Komola pea hinga ʻi ai; pea ko kinautolu naʻe toe naʻa nau hola ki he moʻunga.
10Now the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell there, and they that remained fled to the mountain.
11Pea naʻa nau veteki ʻae koloa kotoa pē ʻo Sotoma mo Komola, mo e meʻakai kotoa pē ʻi ai, pea nau ʻalu.
11And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
12Pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻa Lote, ko e foha ʻoe tokoua ʻo ʻEpalame, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Sotoma, mo ʻene ngaahi meʻa, pea nau ʻalu.
12And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
13¶ Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae tokotaha naʻe hao ʻo fakahā kia ʻEpalame ko e Hepelū; he naʻe nofo ia ʻi he potu tokalelei ʻo Mamili, ko e tangata ʻAmoli, ko e tokoua ʻo ʻEsikoli, mo e tokoua ʻo ʻAneli; pea naʻa nau kau taha pe mo ʻEpalame.
13And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew — now he dwelt by the terebinths of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and these were confederate with Abram.
14Pea kuo fanongo ʻa ʻEpalame kuo ʻave pōpula ʻa hono kāinga, pea ne tuku ʻae mahafutau ki hono kau nofoʻanga naʻe tupu ʻi hono fale, ko e toko tolungeau mo e toko hongofulu ma toko valu, pea ne tuli ʻakinautolu ki Tani.
14And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.
15Pea ne vahevahe ʻakinautolu, ʻaia mo hono kau nofoʻanga ʻi he poʻuli, pea ne teʻia ʻakinautolu, ʻo ne tuli ʻakinautolu ki Hopa, ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ki he toʻohema ʻo Tamasikusi.
15And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
16Pea naʻa ne toe maʻu ʻae koloa kotoa pē, pea ne toe ʻomi ʻa hono kāinga ko Lote, mo ʻene ngaahi meʻa mo e kau fefine mo e kakai.
16And he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
17¶ Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae tuʻi ʻo Sotoma ke fakafetaulaki kia ʻEpalame ʻi heʻene liu mai mei he taaʻi ʻa Kitaleoma mo e ngaahi tuʻi, naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Seve, ʻaia ko e teleʻa ʻoe tuʻi.
17And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, at the vale of Shaveh — the same is the King's Vale.
18Pea ʻomi ʻe Melekiseteki ko e tuʻi ʻo Selemi ʻae mā mo e uaine: pea ko e taulaʻeiki ia ʻoe ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga.
18And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine; and he was priest of God the Most High.
19Pea naʻa ne tāpuaki ia ʻo pehē, “ʻOku monūʻia ʻa ʻEpalame, ʻi he ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga ʻaia ʻoku ʻoʻona ʻae langi mo māmani.
19And he blessed him, and said: 'Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth;
20Pea ke monūʻia mo e ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga, ʻaia kuo ne tuku ho ngaahi fili ki ho nima. Pea naʻa ne tukuhau kiate ia, ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.”
20and blessed be God the Most High, who hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand.' And he gave him a tenth of all.
21Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Sotoma kia ʻEpalame, “Tuku mai kiate au ʻae kakai, pea ke toʻo maʻau ʻae ngaahi meʻa.”
21And the king of Sodom said unto Abram: 'Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.'
22Pea talaange ʻe ʻEpalame ki he tuʻi ʻo Sotoma, “Naʻaku hiki hoku nima kia Sihova, ko e ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga, ʻoku ʻoʻona ʻae langi, mo māmani,
22And Abram said to the king of Sodom: 'I have lifted up my hand unto the LORD, God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth,
23Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u toʻo ha foʻi lou filo pe ha nonoʻo ʻoe topuvaʻe, pea ʻe ʻikai te u toʻo ha meʻa ʻe taha meiate koe, telia naʻa pehē ʻe koe, ‘Kuo u fakakoloaʻia ʻa ʻEpalame.’
23that I will not take a thread nor a shoe-latchet nor aught that is thine, lest thou shouldest say: I have made Abram rich;
24Ka ko e meʻa kuo kai ʻe he kau talavou, pea mo e ʻinasi ki he kau tangata naʻa mau o mo au, ko ʻAneli, mo ʻEsikoli, mo Mamili; tuku ke nau toʻo honau ʻinasi.”
24save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, let them take their portion.'
