Livre de la Genèse 14

JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Au temps d'Amraphel roi de Shinéar, d'Aryok roi d'Ellasar, de Kedor-Laomer roi d'Elam et deTidéal roi des Goyim,	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 ceux-ci firent la guerre contre Béra roi de Sodome, Birsha roi de Gomorrhe, Shinéab roi d'Adma,Shémeéber roi de Ceboyim etle roi de Béla (c'est Coar).	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 Ces derniers se liguèrent dans la vallée de Siddim (c'est lamer du Sel).	3 All these came together into the woodland vale, which now is the salt sea.
4 Douze ans ils avaient été soumis à Kedor-Laomer mais, la treizième année, ils se révoltèrent.	4 For they had served Chodorlahomor twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they revolted from him.
5 En la quatorzième année, arrivèrent Kedor-Laomer et les rois qui étaient avec lui. Ils battirent lesRephaïm à Ashterot-Qarnayim, les Zuzim à Ham, les Emim dans la plaine de Qiryatayim,	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 les Horites dans les montagnes de Séïr jusqu'à El-Parân, qui est à la limite du désert.	6 And the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the plains of Pharan, which is in the wilderness.
7 Ils firent un mouvement tournant et vinrent à la Source du Jugement (c'est Cadès); ils battirent toutle territoire des Amalécites et aussi les Amorites qui habitaient Haçaçôn-Tamar.	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 Or la vallée de Siddim était pleine de puits de bitume; dansleur fuite, le roi de Sodome et le roi deGomorrhe y tombèrent, et le reste se réfugia dans la montagne.	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 Les vainqueurs prirent tous les biens de Sodome et de Gomorrheet tous leurs vivres, et s'enallèrent.	11 And they took all the substance of the Sodomites, and Gomorrhites, and all their victuals, and went their way:
12 Ils prirent aussi Lot et ses biens (le neveu d'Abram), et s'enallèrent; il habitait Sodome.	12 And Lot also, the son of Abram's brother, who dwelt in Sodom, and his substance.
13 Un rescapé vint informer Abram l'Hébreu, qui demeurait auChêne de l'Amorite Mambré, frèred'Eshkol et d'Aner; ils étaient les alliés d'Abram.	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 Quand Abram apprit que son parent était emmené captif, il leva ses partisans, ses familiers, aunombre de 318, et mena la poursuite jusqu'à Dan.	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 Il les attaqua de nuit en ordre dispersé, lui et ses gens, il les battit et les poursuivit jusqu'à Hoba,au nord de Damas.	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 Il reprit tous les biens, et aussi son parent Lot et ses biens, ainsi que les femmes et les gens.	16 And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his brother, with his substance, the women also the people.
17 Quand Abram revint après avoir battu Kedor-Laomer et les rois qui étaient avec lui, le roi deSodome alla à sa rencontre dans la vallée de Shavé (c'est la vallée du Roi).	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 Melchisédech, roi de Shalem, apporta du pain et du vin; il était prêtre du Dieu Très-Haut.	18 But Melchisedech the king of Salem, bringing forth bread and wine, for he was the priest of the most high God,
19 Il prononça cette bénédiction: "Béni soit Abram par le Dieu Très-Haut qui créa ciel et terre,	19 Blessed him, and said: Blessed be Abram by the most high God, who created heaven and earth.
20 et béni soit le Dieu Très-Haut qui a livré tes ennemis entre tes mains." Et Abram lui donna ladîme de tout.	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 Le roi de Sodome dit à Abram: "Donne-moi les personnes et prends les biens pour toi."	21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram: Give me the persons, and the rest take to thyself.
22 Mais Abram répondit au roi de Sodome: "Je lève la main devant le Dieu Très-Haut qui créa ciel etterre:	22 And he answered him: I lift up my hand to the Lord God the most high, the possessor of heaven and earth,
23 ni un fil ni une courroie de sandale, je ne prendrai rien de ce qui est à toi, et tu ne pourras pas dire:J'ai enrichi Abram.	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 Rien pour moi. Seulement ce que mes serviteurs ont mangé et la part des hommes qui sont venusavec moi, Aner, Eshkol et Mambré; eux prendront leur part."	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.
