De libro Génesis

The Lesson is taken from
the book of Genesis

Et egréssi sunt rex Sodomórum, et rex Gomórrhæ, rexque Adamæ, et rex Séboim, necnon et rex Balæ, quæ est Segor : et direxérunt áciem contra eos in valle Silvéstri : scílicet advérsus Chodorláhomor regem Elamitárum, et Thadal regem Géntium, et Amraphel regem Sénnaar, et Arioch regem Ponti : quátuor reges advérsus quinque.  Vallis autem Silvéstris habébat púteos multos bitúminis.  Itaque rex Sodomórum, et Gomórrhæ, terga vertérunt, ceciderúntque ibi : et qui remánserant, fugérunt ad montem.  Tulérunt autem omnem substántiam Sodomórum et Gomórrhæ, et univérsa quæ ad cibum pértinent, et abiérunt : necnon et Lot et substántiam ejus, fílium fratris Abram, qui habitábat in Sódomis.

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; 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.  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.  And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.  And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

R.  Angelus Dómini vocávit Abraham, dicens : * Ne exténdas manum tuam super púerum, eo quod tímeas Dóminum.
V. Cumque extendísset manum ut immoláret fílium, ecce Angelus Dómini de cælo clamávit, dicens.
R.  Ne exténdas manum tuam super púerum, eo quod tímeas Dóminum.

R.  And the Angel of the Lord called unto Abraham, saying : *  Lay not thine hand upon the boy, for now I know that thou fearest the Lord.
V.  For when he stretched forth his hand to slay his son, behold the Angel of the Lord did call unto him from heaven, saying.
R.  Lay not thine hand upon the boy, for now I know that thou fearest the Lord.

Et ecce unus qui eváserat, nuntiávit Abram Hebræo, qui habitábat in conválle Mambre Amorrhæi, fratres Eschol, et fratris Aner : hi enim pepígerant fœdus cum Abram.  Quod cum audísset Abram, captum vidélicet Lot fratrem suum, numerávit expedítos vernáculos suos trecéntos decem et octo : et persecútus est usque Dan.  Et divísis sóciis, írruit super eos nocte ; percussítque eos, et persecútus est eos usque Hoba, quæ est ad lævam Damásci.  Reduxítque omnem substántiam, et Lot fratrem suum cum substántia illíus, mulíeres quoque et pópulum.

And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.  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.  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.  And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.

V.  Possidébit semen tuum portas inimicórum tuórum, et benedicéntur in sémine tuo omnes tribus terræ.
R.  Et multiplicábo te sicut stellas cæli.

R.  And the Angel of the Lord spake from heaven the second time, and said : I will bless thee, * And I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven.
V.  Thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies, and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.

Egréssus est autem rex Sodomórum in occúrsum ejus, postquam revérsus est a cæde Chodorláhomor, et regum qui cum eo erant in valle Save, quæ est vallis regis.  At vero Melchísedech, rex Salem, próferens panem et vinum, erat enim sacérdos Dei altíssimi, benedíxit ei, et ait : Benedíctus Abram Deo excélso, qui creávit cælum et terram : et benedíctus Deus excélsus, quo protegénte, hostes in mánibus tuis sunt.  Et dedit ei décimas ex ómnibus. 

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.  And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.  And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: and blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand.
