Livre de la Genèse 14

JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
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 in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal 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 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.
3 Ces derniers se liguèrent dans la vallée de Siddim (c'est lamer du Sel).	3 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
4 Douze ans ils avaient été soumis à Kedor-Laomer mais, la treizième année, ils se révoltèrent.	4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
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 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,
6 les Horites dans les montagnes de Séïr jusqu'à El-Parân, qui est à la limite du désert.	6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which is by 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 En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites that dwelt in Hazezon-tamar.
	8 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;
	9 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.
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 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.
11 Les vainqueurs prirent tous les biens de Sodome et de Gomorrheet tous leurs vivres, et s'enallèrent.	11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, 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 they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
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 there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eschol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate 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 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.
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 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.
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 goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and 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 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.
18 Melchisédech, roi de Shalem, apporta du pain et du vin; il était prêtre du Dieu Très-Haut.	18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and 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 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of 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, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him 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 unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods 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 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,
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 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:
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 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.
