14:3

All of these had come together in Siddim Valley (now the Dead Sea). 
Kol-eleh chaveru el-Emek haSidim hu Yam haMelach.

גכָּל־אֵ֨לֶּה֙ חָֽבְר֔וּ אֶל־עֵ֖מֶק הַשִּׂדִּ֑ים ה֖וּא יָ֥ם הַמֶּֽלַח:

14:4

They had served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled. 
Shtem-esreh shanah avdu et-Kedarla'omer ushlosh-esreh shanah maradu.

14:5

In the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer and his allied kings came. They defeated the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh Kiryathaim, 
Uve'arba esreh shanah ba Chedarla'omer vehamelachim asher ito vayaku et-Refa'im be'Ashterot Karnayim ve'et- haZuzim beHam ve'et ha'Eymim beShaveh Kiryatayim.

14:7

They then turned back and came to Eyn Mishpat (now Kadesh), and they conquered the entire field of theAmalekites, as well as the Amorites who lived in Chatzatzon Tamar. 
Vayashuvu vayavo'u el-Eyn Mishpat hi Kadesh vayaku et-kol-sedeh ha'Amaleki vegam et-ha'Emori hayoshev beChatsetson Tamar.

14:8

The kings of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Tzevoyim and Bela (Tzoar) marched forth. They set up battle lines in Siddim Valley, 
Vayetse melech-Sdom umelech-Amorah umelech-Ademah umelech Tsvo'im umelech Bela hi-Tso'ar vaya'archu itam milchamah be'Emek haSidim.

against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goyim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar. There were four kings against the five.

14:10

Siddim Valley was full of tar pits, and when the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah tried to flee, they fell into them. The others fled to the mountains. 
Ve'Emek haSidim be'erot be'erot chemar vayanusu melech Sdom va'Amorah vayiplu-shamah vehanish'arim herah nasu.

14:11

[The victors] seized all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all the food, and they departed. 
Vayikchu et-kol-rechush Sedom va'Amorah ve'et-kol-ochlam vayelechu.

יאוַיִּקְח֠וּ אֶת־כָּל־רְכֻ֨שׁ סְדֹ֧ם וַֽעֲמֹרָ֛ה וְאֶת־כָּל־אָכְלָ֖ם וַיֵּלֵֽכוּ:

14:12

When they left, they [also] took Abram's nephew Lot and his possessions, since he had been living in Sodom. 
Vayikchu et-Lot ve'et-rechusho ben-achi Avram vayelechu vehu yoshev biSdom.

14:13

Those who escaped came and brought the news to Abram the Hebrew, who was living undisturbed in the plains of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshkol and Aner. They were Abram's allies. 
Vayavo hapalit vayaged le-Avram ha'Ivri vehu shochen be'eloney Mamre ha'Emori achi Eshkol va'achi Aner vehem ba'aley vrit-Avram.

14:14

When Abram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he called out all his 318 fighting men who had been born in his house. He hurried after [the invaders], catching up with them in Dan. 
Vayishma Avram ki nishbah achiv vayarek et-chanichav yelidey veyto shmonah asar ushlosh me'ot vayirdof ad-Dan.

14:15

He divided [his forces] against them [and attacked] that night - he and his servants. He attacked, and pursued [the invaders] as far as Chovah, which is to the left of Damascus. 
Vayechalek aleyhem laylah hu va'avadav vayakem vayirdefem ad-Chovah asher mismol le-Damasek.

14:16

[Abram] brought back all the property. He also brought back his kinsman Lot and all his goods, along with the women and the [other] people. 
Vayashev et kol-harechush vegam et-Lot achiv urechusho heshiv vegam et-hanashim ve'et ha'am.

The king of Sodom said to Abram, 'Give me the people. You can keep the goods.'

14:23

Not a thread nor a shoelace! I will not take anything that is yours! You should not be able to say, 'It was I who made Abram rich.' 
Im-michut ve'ad sroch-na'al ve'im-ekach mikol-asher-lach velo tomar ani he'esharti et-Avram.
