乐园李老师

创14:1  当暗拉非作示拿王，亚略作以拉撒王，基大老玛作以拦王，提达作戈印王的时候，
At this time Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer king of Elam and Tidal king of Goiim

创14:2  他们都攻打所多玛王比拉，蛾摩拉王比沙，押玛王示纳，洗扁王善以别，和比拉王。比拉就是琐珥。
went to war against Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).

创14:3  这五王都在西订谷会合。西订谷就是盐海。
All these latter kings joined forces in the Valley of Siddim (the Salt Sea ).

创14:4  他们已经事奉基大老玛十二年，到十三年就背叛了。
For twelve years they had been subject to Kedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

创14:5  十四年，基大老玛和同盟的王都来在亚特律加宁，杀败了利乏音人，在哈麦杀败了苏西人，在沙微基列亭杀败了以米人，
In the fourteenth year, Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him went out and defeated the Rephaites in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh Kiriathaim

创14:6  在何利人的西珥山杀败了何利人，一直杀到靠近旷野的伊勒巴兰。
and the Horites in the hill country of Seir, as far as El Paran near the desert.

创14:7  他们回到安密巴，就是加低斯，杀败了亚玛力全地的人，以及住在哈洗逊他玛的亚摩利人。
Then they turned back and went to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and they conquered the whole territory of the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who were living in Hazazon Tamar.

创14:8  于是所多玛王，蛾摩拉王，押玛王，洗扁王，和比拉王（比拉就是琐珥）都出来，在西订谷摆阵，与他们交战，
Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) marched out and drew up their battle lines in the Valley of Siddim

创14:9  就是与以拦王基大老玛，戈印王提达，示拿王暗拉非，以拉撒王亚略交战。乃是四王与五王交战。
against Kedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar-four kings against five.

创14:10 西订谷有许多石漆坑。所多玛王和蛾摩拉王逃跑，有掉在坑里的，其余的人都往山上逃跑。
Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits, and when the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some of the men fell into them and the rest fled to the hills.

创14:11 四王就把所多玛和蛾摩拉所有的财物，并一切的粮食都掳掠去了。
The four kings seized all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food; then they went away.

创14:12 又把亚伯兰的侄儿罗得和罗得的财物掳掠去了。当时罗得正住在所多玛。
They also carried off Abram's nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom.

创14:13 有一个逃出来的人告诉希伯来人亚伯兰。亚伯兰正住在亚摩利人幔利的橡树那里。幔利和以实各并亚乃都是弟兄，曾与亚伯兰联盟。
One who had escaped came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew. Now Abram was living near the great trees of Mamre the Amorite, a brother of Eshcol and Aner, all of whom were allied with Abram.

创14:14 亚伯兰听见他侄儿（原文作弟兄）被掳去，就率领他家里生养的精练壮丁三百一十八人，直追到但，
When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he called out the 318 trained men born in his household and went in pursuit as far as Dan.

创14:15 便在夜间，自己同仆人分队杀败敌人，又追到大马色左边的何把，
During the night Abram divided his men to attack them and he routed them, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.

创14:16 将被掳掠的一切财物夺回来，连他侄儿罗得和他的财物，以及妇女，人民也都夺回来。
He recovered all the goods and brought back his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the other people.

创14:17 亚伯兰杀败基大老玛和与他同盟的王回来的时候，所多玛王出来，在沙微谷迎接他。沙微谷就是王谷。
After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley).

创14:18 又有撒冷王麦基洗德带着饼和酒出来迎接。他是至高神的祭司。
Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High,

创14:19 他为亚伯兰祝福，说，愿天地的主，至高的神赐福与亚伯兰。
and he blessed Abram, saying, 'Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.

创14:20 至高的神把敌人交在你手里，是应当称颂的。亚伯兰就把所得的拿出十分之一来，给麦基洗德。
And blessed be God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand.' Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

创14:21 所多玛王对亚伯兰说，你把人口给我，财物你自己拿去吧。
The king of Sodom said to Abram, 'Give me the people and keep the goods for yourself.'

创14:22 亚伯兰对所多玛王说，我已经向天地的主至高的神耶和华起誓。
But Abram said to the king of Sodom, 'I have raised my hand to the Lord , God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, and have taken an oath

创14:23 凡是你的东西，就是一根线，一根鞋带，我都不拿，免得你说，我使亚伯兰富足。
that I will accept nothing belonging to you, not even a thread or the thong of a sandal, so that you will never be able to say, 'I made Abram rich.'

创14:24 只有仆人所吃的，并与我同行的亚乃，以实各，幔利所应得的分，可以任凭他们拿去。
I will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and the share that belongs to the men who went with me-to Aner, Eshcol and Mamre. Let them have their share.'
