Genesisi 14

¹Zvino nenguva yaAmuraferi, mambo weShinari, naArioki mambo weErasari, naKedhoriraomeri, mambo weEramu, naTidhari, mambo weGoyimi,And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;

²vakarwa naBhera, mambo weSodhomu, naBherisha, mambo weGomora, naShinabhi, mambo weAdhamu, naShemebheri, mambo weZebhoimi, namambo weBhera (rinonziwo Zoari).That these 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, which is Zoar.

³Ava vose vakasangana mumupata weSidhimu (ndiro Gungwa roMunyu).All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.

⁴Vakanga vava varanda veKedhoriraomeri makore ane gumi namaviri, vakamumukira negore regumi namatatu.Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

⁵Ipapo Kedhoriraomeri wakauya negore regumi namana, namadzimambo aakanga anawo, akakunda vaRefaimi paAshitoreti karinaimi, navaZuzimi paHamu, navaEmimi paShave-kiriataimi,And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

⁶navaHori pagomo ravo reSeiri, kusvikira paEriparani, pedo nesango.And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which is by the wilderness.

⁷Vakadzoka, vakasvika Enimishipati (rinonziwo Kadheshi), vakakunda nyika yose yavaAmareki, navaAmori, vakanga vagere paHazazoni-tamari.And they returned, and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites that dwelt in Hazezon- tamar.

⁸Zvino mambo weSodhomu, namambo weGomora, namambo weAdhamu, namambo weZebhoimi, namambo weBhera (rinonziwo Zoari), vakabuda vakagadzira hondo kuzorwa navo pamupata weSidhimu;And 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 joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;

⁹kuti varwe naKedhoriraomeri, mambo weEramu, naTidhari, mambo weGoyimi, naAmuraferi, mambo weShinari, naArioki, mambo weErasari; madzimambo mana kuti arwe namadzimambo mashanu.With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.

¹⁰Zvino mupata weSidhimu wakanga uzere namakomba ane tara, madzimambo eSodhomu neGomora vakatiza vakawiramo; vakasara vakatizira kugomo.And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.

¹¹Vakatora fuma yose yeSodhomu neGomora, nezvokudya zvavo zvose, vakaenda.And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.

¹²Vakatorawo Roti, mwanakomana womunun’una waAbhuramu wakanga agere paSodhomu, nefuma yake, vakaenda.And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

¹³Zvino mumwe wakanga apukunyuka wakasvika, akaudza Abhuramu, muHebheru; iye wakanga agere pamiti yemiouki yaMamure, muAmori, munun’una waEshikori, munun’una waAneri; ava vakanga vaita sungano naAbhuramu.And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.

¹⁴Zvino Abhuramu wakati achinzwa kuti hama yake yatapwa, akaraira varume vake vakanga vadzidziswa kurwa, vakazvarwa paimba yake, vana mazana matatu negumi navasere, akavateverera kusvikira paDhani;And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.

¹⁵akakamura varwi vake usiku, iye navaranda vake, akavakunda, akavateverera kusvikira paHobha, riri kurudyi rweDhamasiko.And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.

¹⁶Akadzosa fuma yose, akadzosawo Roti, hama yake, nefuma yake, navakadziwo navanhu.And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.

¹⁷Ipapo mambo weSodhomu wakabuda kundosangana naye pakudzoka kwake pakuuraya Kedhorir-omeri namadzimambo akanga anavo pamupata weShave (ndiwo mupata wamambo).And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king’s dale.

¹⁸Merikizedheki, mambo weSaremi, akauya nechingwa newaini; iye wakanga ari mupirisiti waMwari woKudenga-denga.And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

¹⁹Akamuropafadza, akati, Abhuramu ngaaropafadzwe naMwari woKudengadenga, muridzi wokudenga napasi.And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

²⁰Mwari woKudenga-denga ngaakudzwe, wakapa vavengi venyu mumaoko enyu. Akamupa chegumi chezvose.And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

²¹Zvino mambo weSodhomu akati kuna Abhuramu, Ndipe vanhu, iwe utore hako fuma.And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.

²²Abhuramu akati kuna mambo weSodhomu, Ndakasimudzira ruoko rwangu kuna Jehovha, Mwari woKudengadenga, muridzi wokudenga napasi,And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,

²³kuti handingatori rushinda kana rukanda rweshangu, kana chinhu chimwe chezvinhu zvenyu, kuti murege kuzoti, `Ndini ndakafumisa Abhuramu',That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:

²⁴ini handidi hangu, asi zvakadyiwa namajaya chete, nomugove wavanhu vakaenda neni, vanaAneri, naEshikori, naMamure, ngavatore migove yavo.Save 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.
