Note 1 topic: translate-key-terms
וַֽיְבָרְכֵ֖הוּ
and,blessed,him
Make sure your translation of “blessed … and said” refers to the same event, not two separate events. Also see how you translated “bless” in Gen 12:2-3. Alternate translation: “He blessed Abram” or “So Melchizedek blessed Abram”
בָּר֤וּךְ אַבְרָם֙
blessed Avram
Alternate translation: “I pray that you Abram will be blessed”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
לְאֵ֣ל עֶלְי֔וֹן

See how you translated this title in verse 18. For some languages it may be better to switch the order of phrases in this sentence and say, “May the greatest God, who owns heaven and earth, bless Abram/you.” or “I pray that the most high/powerful God, who created heaven and earth, will bless you Abram.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “by the most high God,” or “by the highest God,”
קֹנֵ֖ה שָׁמַ֥יִם וָאָֽרֶץ
maker heaven and,earth
The Hebrew word for Possessor also means “Creator,” which is used in many translations. Whichever one you do not use in the text you could put in a footnote. Alternate translation: “who is the Owner of heaven and earth.” or “who created heaven and earth.”
14:19-20 By paying a tithe (a tenth) to Melchizedek, Abram acknowledged Melchizedek as a spiritual superior (see Heb 7:4) and affirmed that God had given him victory.
