إنقاذ لوط من الأسر

13 وَجَاءَ أَحَدُ النَّاجِينَ إِلَى أَبْرَامَ الْعِبْرَانِيِّ، الَّذِي كَانَ مُقِيماً حَتَّى ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ عِنْدَ بَلُّوطَاتِ مَمْرَا أَخِي أَشْكُولَ وَعَانِرَ حُلَفَاءِ أَبْرَامَ، وَأَبْلَغَهُ بِمَا جَرَى. 14 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَبْرَامُ أَنَّ ابْنَ أَخِيهِ قَدْ أُسِرَ، جَرَّدَ ثَلاثَ مِئَةٍ وَثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ مِنْ غِلْمَانِهِ الْمُدَرَّبِينَ الْمَوْلُودِينَ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَتَعَقَّبَهُمْ حَتَّى بَلَغَ دَانَ 15 وَفِي أَثْنَاءِ اللَّيْلِ قَسَّمَ رِجَالَهُ، وَهَاجَمَهُمْ وَقَهَرَهُمْ، ثُمَّ طَارَدَهُمْ حَتَّى حُوبَةَ شَمَالِيَّ دِمَشْقَ. 16 وَاسْتَرَدَّ كُلَّ الْغَنَائِمِ، وَاسْتَرْجَعَ ابْنَ أَخِيهِ لُوطاً وَأَمْلاكَهُ، وَالنِّسَاءَ أَيْضاً وَسِوَاهُمْ مِنَ الأَسْرَى.

17 وَجَاءَ مَلِكُ سَدُومَ لِلِقَاءِ أَبْرَامَ فِي وَادِي شَوَى الْمَعْرُوفِ بِوَادِي الْمَلِكِ، بَعْدَ عَوْدَتِهِ مِنْ كَسْرَةِ كَدَرْلَعَوْمَرَ وَالْمُلُوكِ حُلَفَائِهِ. 18 وَكَذَلِكَ حَمَلَ إِلَيْهِ مَلْكِي صَادِقُ مَلِكُ شَالِيمَ، الَّذِي كَانَ كَاهِناً لِلهِ الْعَلِيِّ، خُبْزاً وَخَمْراً، 19 وَبَارَكَهُ قَائِلاً: «لِتَكُنْ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبْرَامُ بَرَكَةُ اللهِ الْعَلِيِّ، مَالِكِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ. 20 وَتَبَارَكَ اللهُ الْعَلِيُّ الَّذِي دَفَعَ أَعْدَاءَكَ إِلَى يَدَيْكَ». فَأَعْطَاهُ أَبْرَامُ عُشْرَ الْغَنَائِمِ كُلِّهَا. 21 وَقَالَ مَلِكُ سَدُومَ لأَبْرَامَ: «أَعْطِنِي الأَسْرَى الْمَعْتُوقِينَ أَمَّا الْغَنَائِمُ فَاحْتَفِظْ بِها لِنَفْسِكَ». 22 فَأَجَابَهُ أَبْرَامُ: «لَقَدْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِالرَّبِّ الإِلَهِ الْعَلِيِّ، مَالِكِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، 23 وَعَاهَدْتُهُ أَلّا آخُذَ شَيْئاً مِمَّا هُوَ لَكَ، وَلَوْ كَانَ خَيْطاً أَوْ شَرِيطَ حِذَاءٍ، لِئَلّا تَقُولَ: أَنَا أَغْنَيْتُ أَبْرَامَ 24 لَنْ آخُذَ غَيْرَ مَا أَكَلَهُ الْغِلْمَانُ. أَمَّا نَصِيبُ الرِّجَالِ الَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا مَعِي: عَانِرَ وَأَشْكُولَ وَمَمْرَا، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْخُذُونَهُ».

Abram Rescues Lot

1 In the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, (تك 10:10; تك 10:22; تك 11:2; إش 11:11; أع 2:9)

تك 10:10تك 10:22تك 11:2إش 11:11أع 2:9

2 these kings made war with Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar). (تك 13:10; تك 14:8; تك 19:22; تث 29:23)

تك 13:10تك 14:8تك 19:22تث 29:23

3 And all these joined forces in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea). (عد 34:12; تث 3:17; يش 3:16) 4 Twelve years they had served Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled. 5 In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and defeated the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim, (تك 15:20; تث 1:4; تث 2:10; تث 2:11; تث 2:20; تث 3:11)

تك 15:20تث 1:4تث 2:10تث 2:11تث 2:20تث 3:11

6 and the Horites in their hill country of Seir as far as El-paran on the border of the wilderness. (تك 21:21; عد 12:16; عد 13:3; تث 2:12; تث 2:22)

تك 21:21عد 12:16عد 13:3تث 2:12تث 2:22

7 Then they turned back and came to En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh) and defeated all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who were dwelling in Hazazon-tamar. (تك 16:14; تك 20:1; عد 13:26; 2أخ 20:2)

تك 16:14تك 20:1عد 13:262أخ 20:2

8 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) went out, and they joined battle in the Valley of Siddim 9 with Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, four kings against five. 10 Now the Valley of Siddim was full of bitumen pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some fell into them, and the rest fled to the hill country. (تك 11:3; تك 19:17; تك 19:30; خر 2:3)

تك 11:3تك 19:17تك 19:30خر 2:3

11 So the enemy took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their provisions, and went their way. (تك 14:16; تك 14:21) 12 They also took Lot, the son of Abram’s brother, who was dwelling in Sodom, and his possessions, and went their way. (تك 12:5; تك 13:12) 13 Then one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew, who was living by the oaks^[1] of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and of Aner. These were allies of Abram. (تك 12:6; تك 13:18) 14 When Abram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, 318 of them, and went in pursuit as far as Dan. (تك 15:3; تك 17:12; تك 17:23; تك 17:27; قض 18:29; جا 2:7)

تك 15:3تك 17:12تك 17:23تك 17:27قض 18:29جا 2:7

15 And he divided his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and defeated them and pursued them to Hobah, north of Damascus. 16 Then he brought back all the possessions, and also brought back his kinsman Lot with his possessions, and the women and the people. (تك 14:11)

Abram Blessed by Melchizedek

17 After his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley). (2صم 18:18) 18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.) (مز 57:2; مز 110:4; أع 16:17; عب 5:6; عب 5:10; عب 7:1; عب 7:11; عب 7:17)

مز 57:2مز 110:4أع 16:17عب 5:6عب 5:10عب 7:1عب 7:11عب 7:17

19 And he blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor^[2] of heaven and earth; (مت 11:25; عب 7:6) 20 and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!” And Abram gave him a tenth of everything. (تك 28:22; عب 7:4) 21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the persons, but take the goods for yourself.” 22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have lifted my hand^[3] to the Lord, God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth, (خر 6:8; عد 14:30; تث 32:40; حز 20:5; حز 20:15; حز 20:23; حز 20:28; دا 12:7; رؤ 10:5)

23 that I would not take a thread or a sandal strap or anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’ (أس 9:15) 24 I will take nothing but what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me. Let Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre take their share.” (تك 14:13)
