1 Aconteceu nos dias de Anrafel, rei de Sinear, Arioque, rei de Elasar, Quedorlaomer, rei de Elão, e Tidal, rei de Goim,2 que fizeram estes guerra contra Bera, rei de Sodoma, contra Birsa, rei de Gomorra, contra Sinabe, rei de Admá, contra Semeber, rei de Zeboim e contra o rei de Belá (esta é Zoar).3 Todos estes se ajuntaram no vale de Sidim (este é o Mar Salgado).4 Doze anos serviram a Quedorlaomer, mas no décimo terceiro se rebelaram.5 Ao décimo quarto ano veio Quedorlaomer, e os reis que estavam com ele, e feriram aos refains em Asterote-Carnaim, aos zuzins em Hã, aos emins em Savé-Quiriataim.6 e aos horeus no seu monte Seir, até El-Parã, que está junto ao deserto.7 Na volta vieram a En-Mispate (que é Cades) e feriram toda a terra dos amalequitas, e também aos amorreus, que habitavam em Hazazom-Tamar.8 Então saíram os reis de Sodoma, de Gomorra, de Admá, de Zeboim e de Bela (esta é Zoar); e ordenaram batalha contra eles no vale de Sidim,9 contra Quedorlaomer, rei de Elão, contra Tidal, rei de Goim, contra Anrafel, rei de Sinear, e contra Arioque, rei de Elasar; quatro reis contra cinco.10 Ora o vale de Sidim estava cheio de poços de betume; fugiram os reis de Sodoma e de Gomorra, e caíram ali; e os restantes fugiram para o monte.11 Eles tomaram todos os bens de Sodoma e Gomorra com os seus víveres, e foram-se.12 Levaram também a Ló, filho do irmão de Abrão, que morava em Sodoma, e os bens dele, e partiram.13 Veio um que escapara, e deu parte a Abrão, o hebreu. Ora ele habitava perto dos terebintos de Manre, o amorreu, irmão de Escol e de Aner; estes eram aliados de Abrão.14 Tendo Abrão ouvido que seu irmão estava preso, levou os seus homens mais bem disciplinados, nascidos em sua casa, em número de trezentos e dezoito, e os perseguiu até Dã.15 Dividiu-se contra eles de noite, ele e seus servos, e, ferindo-os, os perseguiu até Hobá, que fica à esquerda de Damasco.16 Tornou a trazer todos os bens, e tornou a trazer também a Ló, seu irmão, e os seus bens, e também as mulheres e o povo.17 O rei de Sodoma saiu-lhe ao encontro, depois que voltou de ferir a Quedorlaomer e aos reis que estavam com ele, no vale de Savé (que é o vale do rei).18 Melquisedeque, rei de Salém, trouxe pão e vinho: este era sacerdote do Deus Altíssimo.19 Abençoou a Abrão, e disse: Bendito seja Abrão pelo Deus Altíssimo, Criador do céu e da terra!20 e bendito seja o Deus Altíssimo, que entregou os teus inimigos às tuas mãos! Abrão deu-lhe o dízimo de tudo.21 Então o rei de Sodoma disse a Abrão: Dá-me a mim as pessoas, e toma para ti os bens.22 Respondeu-lhe Abrão: Levanto a minha mão para Jeová, Deus Altíssimo, Criador do céu e da terra,23 jurando que não tomarei nada de tudo o que é teu, nem um fio nem uma correia dos sapatos, para que não digas: Eu enriqueci a Abrão:24 salvo o que os mancebos comeram, e a porção que toca aos homens Aner, Escol e Manre, que foram comigo; que estes tomem a sua porção.

1 And it came to pass at that time, that Amraphel king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Pontus, and Chodorlahomor king of the Elamites, and Thadal king of nations,2 Made war against Bara king of Sodom, and against Bersa king of Gomorrha, and against Sennaab king of Adama, and against Semeber king of Seboim, and against the king of Bala, which is Segor.3 All these came together into the woodland vale, which now is the salt sea.4 For they had served Chodorlahomor twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they revolted from him.5 And in the fourteenth year came Chodorlahomor, and the kings that were with him: and they smote the Raphaim in Astarothcarnaim, and the Zuzim with them, and the Emim in Save of Cariathaim.6 And the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the plains of Pharan, which is in the wilderness.7 And they returned, and came to the fountain of Misphat, the same is Cades: and they smote all the country of the Amalecites, and the Amorrhean that dwelt in Asasonthamar.8 And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrha, and the king of Adama, and the king of Seboim, and the king of Bala, which is Segor, went out: and they set themselves against them in battle array in the woodland vale:9 To wit, against Chodorlahomor king of the Elamites, and Thadal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Pontus: four kings against five.10 Now the woodland vale had many pits of slime. And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrha turned their backs and were overthrown there: and they that remained fled to the mountain.11 And they took all the substance of the Sodomites, and Gomorrhites, and all their victuals, and went their way:12 And Lot also, the son of Abram's brother, who dwelt in Sodom, and his substance.13 And behold one that had escaped told Abram the Hebrew, who dwelt in the vale of Mambre the Amorrhite, the brother of Escol, and the brother of Aner: for these had made league with Abram.14 Which when Abram had heard, to wit, that his brother Lot was taken, he numbered of the servants born in his house, three hundred and eighteen well appointed: and pursued them to Dan.15 And dividing his company, he rushed upon them in the night: and defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hoba, which is on the left hand of Damascus.16 And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his brother, with his substance, the women also the people.17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter of Chodorlahomor, and of the kings that were with him in the vale of Save, which is the king's vale.18 But Melchisedech the king of Salem, bringing forth bread and wine, for he was the priest of the most high God,19 Blessed him, and said: Blessed be Abram by the most high God, who created heaven and earth.20 And blessed be the most high God, by whose protection the enemies are in thy hands. And he gace him the tithes of all.21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram: Give me the persons, and the rest take to thyself.22 And he answered him: I lift up my hand to the Lord God the most high, the possessor of heaven and earth,23 That from the very woof thread unto the shoe latchet, I will not take of any things that are thine, lest thou say I have enriched Abram:24 Except such things as the young men have eaten, and the shares of the men that came with me, Aner, Escol, and Mambre: these shall take their shares.
