4 Duodecim annis servierant Chodorlahomor et tertio decimo anno recesserunt ab eo.	4 For they had served Chodorlahomor twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they revolted from him.
5 Igitur anno quarto decimo venit Chodorlahomor et reges, qui erant cum eo, percusseruntque Raphaim in Astharothcarnaim et Zuzim in Ham et Emim in Savecariathaim	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 et Chorraeos in montibus Seir usque ad Elpharan, quae est in deserto.	6 And the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the plains of Pharan, which is in the wilderness.

10 Vallis autem Siddim habebat puteos multos bituminis. Itaque rex Sodomae et Gomorrae terga verterunt cecideruntque illuc; et, qui remanserant, fugerunt ad montem.	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.

14 Quod cum audisset Abram, captum videlicet Lot fratrem suum, numeravit expeditos vernaculos suos trecentos decem et octo et persecutus est usque 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 et, divisis sociis, irruit super eos nocte percussitque eos et persecutus est eos usque Hoba, quae est ad laevam Damasci;	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 reduxitque omnem substantiam, necnon et Lot fratrem suum cum substantia illius, mulieres quoque et populum.	16 And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his brother, with his substance, the women also the people.

18 At vero Melchisedech rex Salem proferens panem et vinum ­ erat enim sacerdos Dei altissimi ­	18 But Melchisedech the king of Salem, bringing forth bread and wine, for he was the priest of the most high God,
19 benedixit ei et ait: “Benedictus Abram a Deo excelso, qui creavit caelum et terram	19 Blessed him, and said: Blessed be Abram by the most high God, who created heaven and earth.
20 et benedictus Deus excelsus, qui tradidit hostes tuos in manus tuas”. Et dedit ei decimas ex omnibus.	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 Dixit autem rex Sodomae ad Abram: “Da mihi animas; substantiam tolle tibi”.	21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram: Give me the persons, and the rest take to thyself.
22 Qui respondit ei: “Levo manum meam ad Dominum, Deum excelsum, creatorem caeli et terrae,	22 And he answered him: I lift up my hand to the Lord God the most high, the possessor of heaven and earth,
23 a filo subteminis usque ad corrigiam caligae non accipiam ex omnibus, quae tua sunt, ne dicas: "Ego ditavi 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 exceptis his, quae comederunt iuvenes, et partibus virorum, qui venerunt mecum, Aner, Eschol et Mambre: isti accipient partes suas”.	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.
