Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1In the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar; Arioch, king of Ellasar; Chedorlaomer, king of Elam; and Tidal, king of Goiim,
1Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῇ Ἀμαρφὰλ βασιλέως Σενναὰρ, καὶ Ἀριὼχ βασιλέως Ἑλλασὰρ, Χοδολλογομὸρ βασιλεὺς Ἐλὰμ, καὶ Θαργὰλ βασιλεὺς ἐθνῶν,
2they made war with Bera, king of Sodom; Birsha, king of Gomorrah; Shinab, king of Admah; Shemeber, king of Zeboiim; and the king of Bela (also called Zoar).
2ἐποίησαν πόλεμον μετὰ Βαλλὰ βασιλέως Σοδόμων, καὶ μετὰ Βαρσὰ βασιλέως Γομόῤῥας, καὶ μετὰ Σενναὰρ βασιλέως Ἀδαμὰ, καὶ μετὰ Συμοβὸρ βασιλέως Σεβωεὶμ, καὶ βασιλέως Βαλάκ· αὕτη ἐστὶ Σηγώρ.
3All these joined together in the valley of Siddim (also called the Salt Sea).
3Πάντες οὗτοι συνεφώνησαν ἐπὶ τὴν φάραγγα τὴν ἁλυκήν· αὕτη ἡ θάλασσα τῶν ἁλῶν.
4They served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
4Δώδεκα ἔτη αὐτοὶ ἐδούλευσαν τῷ Χοδολλογομόρ· τῷ δὲ τρισκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει ἀπέστησαν.
5In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and struck the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
5Ἐν δὲ τῷ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει ἦλθε Χοδολλογομὸρ καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατέκοψαν τοὺς γίγαντας τοὺς ἐν Ἀσταρὼθ, καὶ Καρναῒν, καὶ ἔθνη ἰσχυρὰ ἅμα αὐτοῖς, καὶ τοὺς Ὀμμαίους τοὺς ἐν Σαυῇ τῇ πόλει.
6and the Horites in their Mount Seir, to El Paran, which is by the wilderness.
6Καὶ τοὺς Χοῤῥαίους τοὺς ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσι Σηεὶρ, ἕως τῆς τερεβίνθου τῆς Φαρὰν, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.
7They returned, and came to En Mishpat (also called Kadesh), and struck all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that lived in Hazazon Tamar.
7Καὶ ἀναστρέψαντες ἦλθον ἐπὶ τὴν πηγὴν τῆς κρίσεως· αὕτη ἐστὶ Κάδης· καὶ κατέκοψαν πάντας τοὺς ἄρχοντας Ἀμαλὴκ, καὶ τοὺς Ἀμοῤῥαίους τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν ʼΑσασονθαμὰρ
8The king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar) went out; and they set the battle in array against them in the valley of Siddim
8Ἐξῆλθε δὲ βασιλεὺς Σοδόμων, καὶ βασιλεὺς Γομόῤῥας, καὶ βασιλεὺς Ἀδαμὰ, καὶ βασιλεὺς Σεβωεὶμ, καὶ βασιλεὺς Βαλάκ· αὕτη ἐστὶ Σηγώρ· καὶ παρετάξαντο αὐτοῖς εἰς πόλεμον ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι, τῇ ἁλυκῇ,
9against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
9πρὸς Χοδολλογομὸρ βασιλέα Ἐλὰμ, καὶ Θαπγὰλ βασιλέα ἐθνῶν, καὶ Ἀμαρφὰλ βασιλέα Σενναὰρ, καὶ Ἀριὼχ βασιλέα Ἑλλασὰρ, οἱ τέσσαρες βασιλεῖς πρὸς τοὺς πέντε.
10Now the valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and some fell there. Those who remained fled to the hills.
10Ἡ δὲ κοιλὰς ἡ ἁλυκὴ, φρέατα ἀσφάλτου· ἔφυγε δὲ βασιλεὺς Σοδόμων καὶ βασιλεὺς Γομόῤῥας, καὶ ἐνέπεσαν ἐκεῖ· οἱ δὲ καταλειφθέντες εἰς τὴν ὀρεινὴν ἔφυγον.
11They took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went their way.
11Ἔλαβον δὲ τὴν ἵππον πᾶσαν τὴν Σοδόμων καὶ Γομόῤῥας, καὶ πάντα τὰ βρώματα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀπῆλθον.
12They took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who lived in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
12Ἔλαβον δὲ καὶ τὸν Λὼτ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ Ἅβραμ, καὶ τὴν ἀποσκευὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπῴχοντο· ἦν γὰρ κατοικῶν ἐν Σοδόμοις.
13One who had escaped came and told Abram, the Hebrew. At that time, he lived by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner. They were allies of Abram.
13Παραγενόμενος δὲ τῶν ἀνασωθέντων τις ἀπήγγειλεν Ἅβραμ τῷ περάτῃ· αὐτὸς δὲ κατῴκει παρὰ τῇ δρυῒ τῇ Μαμβρῇ Ἀμοῤῥαίου τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ Ἐσχὼλ, καὶ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ Αὐνὰν, οἳ ἦσαν συνωμόται τοῦ Ἅβραμ.
14When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he led out his three hundred eighteen trained men, born in his house, and pursued as far as Dan.
14Ἀκούσας δὲ Ἅβραμ ὅτι ᾐχμαλώτευται Λὼτ ὁ ἀδελφοῦς αὐτοῦ, ἠρίθμησε τοὺς ἰδίους οἰκογενεῖς αὐτοῦ τριακοσίους δέκα καὶ ὀκτώ· καὶ κατεδίωξεν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ἕως Δάν.
15He 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.
15Καὶ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς τὴν νύκτα αὐτὸς, καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς, καὶ κατεδίωξεν αὐτοὺς ἕως Χοβὰ, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν ἀριστερᾷ Δαμασκοῦ.
16He brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative Lot and his goods, and the women also, and the other people.
16Καὶ ἀπέστρεψε πᾶσαν τὴν ἵππον Σοδόμων· καὶ Λὼτ τὸν ἀδελφιδοῦν αὐτοῦ ἀπέστρεψε, καὶ πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας, καὶ τὸν λαόν.
17The 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).
17Ἐξῆλθε δὲ βασιλεὺς Σοδόμων εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ, μετὰ τὸ ὑποστρέψαι αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῆς κοπῆς τοῦ Χοδολλογομὸρ, καὶ τῶν βασιλέων τῶν μετʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν κοιλάδα τοῦ Σαβύ· τοῦτο ἦν τὸ πεδίον τῶν βασιλέων.
18Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High.
18Καὶ Μελχισεδὲκ βασιλεὺς Σαλὴμ ἐξήνεγκεν ἄρτους καὶ οἶνον· ἦν δὲ ἱερεὺς τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ὑψίστου.
19He blessed him, and said, “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth.
19Καὶ εὐλόγησε τὸν Ἅβραμ, καὶ εἶπεν, εὐλογημένος Ἅβραμ τῷ Θεῷ τῷ ὑψίστῳ, ὃς ἔκτισε τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν.
20Blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Abram gave him a tenth of all.
20Καὶ εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ὕψιστος, ὃς παρέδωκε τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποχειρίους σοι· καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Ἅβραμ δεκάτην ἀπὸ πάντων.
21The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, and take the goods for yourself.”
21Εἶπε δὲ βασιλεὺς Σοδόμων πρὸς Ἅβραμ, δός μοι τοὺς ἄνδρας, τὴν δὲ ἵππον λάβε σεαυτῷ.
22Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have lifted up my hand to the LORD, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,
22Εἶπε δὲ Ἅβραμ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Σοδόμων, ἐκτενῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου πρὸς Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τὸν ὕψιστον, ὃς ἔκτισε τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν,
23that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’
23εἰ ἀπὸ σπαρτίου ἕως σφυρωτῆρος ὑποδήματος λήψομαι ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν σῶν, ἵνα μὴ εἴπῃς, ὅτι ἐγὼ ἐπλούτισα τὸν Ἅβραμ.
24I 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.”
24Πλὴν ὧν ἔφαγον οἱ νεανίσκοι, καὶ τῆς μερίδος τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν συμπορευθέντων μετʼ ἐμοῦ Ἐσχὼλ, Αὐνᾶν, Μαμβρῆ· οὗτοι λήψονται μερίδα.
