Genesis 18
1 Nagpakita si Yahweh kang Abraham diha sa katugasan ni Mamre, samtang naglingkod siya sa pultahan sa iyang tolda sa kainiton sa adlaw.
And God appeared to him by the oak of Mambre, as he sat by the door of his tent at noon.
2 Mihangad siya ug, tan-awa, nakita niya ang tulo ka mga lalaki nga nagbarog sa iyang atubangan. Sa pagkakita niya kanila, midagan siya aron sa pagtagbo kanila gikan sa pultahan sa tolda ug miyukbo sa yuta.
And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold! three men stood before him; and having seen them he ran to meet them from the door of his tent, and did obeisance to the ground.
3 Miingon siya, “Ginoo, kung gikahimut-an mo ako, ayaw sayloi ug biyai ang imong sulugoon.
And he said, Lord, if indeed I have found grace in your sight, pass not by your servant.
4 Tugoti nga dalhan kamo ug diyutay nga tubig, aron hugasan ang inyong mga tiil, ug pahulay kamo ilalom sa kahoy.
Let water now be brought, and let them wash your feet, and do you refresh [yourselves] under the tree.
5 Tugoti ako sa pagdala ug diyutay nga pagkaon, aron mahupay ang inyong kaugalingon. Pagkahuman makapadayon na kamo sa inyong panaw, sanglit mianhi man kamo sa inyong sulugoon.” Ug miingon sila, “Buhata kung unsa ang imong gisulti.”
And I will bring bread, and you shall eat, and after this you shall depart on your journey, on account of which [refreshment] you have turned aside to your servant. And he said, So do, as you have said.
6 Unya nagdalidali ug adto si Abraham sa sulod sa barongbarong ngadto kang Sara, ug miingon, “Pagdali, pagkuha ug tulo ka takus sa pinakamaayong harina, masaha kini, ug paghimo ug tinapay.”
And Abraam hasted to the tent to Sarrha, and said to her, Hasten, and knead three measures of fine flour, and make cakes.
7 Unya midagan si Abraham ngadto sa panon sa mga mananap, ug gikuha niya ang nating baka nga humok ug maayo, ug gihatag kini ngadto sa sulugoon, ug gidali niya kini pag-andam.
And Abraam ran to the kine, and took a young calf, tender and good, and gave it to his servant, and he hasted to dress it.
8 Gikuha niya ang mantikilya ug gatas, ug ang nating baka nga giandam, ug gibutang ang pagkaon sa ilang atubangan, ug nagbarog siya tapad kanila ilalom sa kahoy samtang nangaon sila.
And he took butter and milk, and the calf which he had dressed; and he set them before them, and they did eat, and he stood by them under the tree.
9 Miingon sila kaniya, “Diin man si Sara ang imong asawa?” Mitubag siya, “Atua didto sa sulod sa barongbarong.”
And he said to him, Where is Sarrha your wife? And he answered and said, Behold! in the tent.
10 Miingon siya, “Mobalik gayod ako kanimo sa tingpamulak, ug tan-awa, ang imong asawa nga si Sara makabaton ug anak nga lalaki.” Naminaw si Sara didto sa pultahan sa tolda, nga anaa sa iyang luyo.
And he said, I will return and come to you according to this period seasonably, and Sarrha your wife shall have a son; and Sarrha heard at the door of the tent, being behind him.
11 Karon si Abraham ug si Sara tigulang na, ug taas na ang pangidaron, ug si Sara wala na sa sakto nga pangidaron nga ang usa ka babaye makabaton pa ug anak.
And Abraam and Sarrha were old, advanced in days, and the custom of women ceased with Sarrha.
12 Busa mikatawa si Sara sa iyang kaugalingon, nga nag-ingon, “Human nga nagmaluyahon na ako, aduna pa ba akoy kagana, nga ang akong agalon tigulang na man usab?”
And Sarrha laughed in herself, saying, The thing has not as yet happened to me, even until now, and my lord is old.
13 Miingon si Yahweh kang Abraham, “Nganong mikatawa man si Sara ug miingon, 'Makabaton pa ba ako ug anak, nga tigulang na man ako?'
And the Lord said to Abraam, Why is it that Sarrha has laughed in herself, saying, Shall I then indeed bear? but I am grown old.
14 Aduna bay lisod kaayo kang Yahweh? Sa panahon nga akong gitagana, sa tingpamulak, mobalik ako kanimo. Sa samang higayon sa sunod tuig makabaton na ug anak nga lalaki si Sara.”
Shall anything be impossible with the Lord? At this time I will return to you seasonably, and Sarrha shall have a son.
15 Unya gilimod kini ni Sara ug miingon, “Wala man ako mikatawa,” tungod kay nahadlok siya. Mitubag siya, “Dili, mikatawa ka gayod.”
But Sarrha denied, saying, I did not laugh, for she was afraid. And he said to her, Nay, but you did laugh.
16 Unya mitindog ang mga lalaki aron sa pagbiya ug midungaw paubos sa Sodoma. Miuban si Abraham kanila aron mahatod niya sila sa unahan.
And the men having risen up from thence looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha. And Abraam went with them, attending them on their journey.
17 Apan miingon si Yahweh, “Angay bang itago ko kang Abraham kung unsa ang akong pagahimuon,
And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraam my servant what things I intend to do?
18 sanglit mahimo man gayong usa ka bantogan ug gamhanan nga nasod si Abraham, ug ang tanang nasod sa tibuok kalibotan mapanalanginan tungod kaniya?
But Abraam shall become a great and populous nation, and in him shall all the nations of the earth be blest.
19 Kay gipili ko siya aron tudloan niya ang iyang mga anak ug ang iyang panimalay sa pagsunod sa paagi ni Yahweh kung wala na siya, sa pagbuhat ug matarong ug husto, aron buhaton ni Yahweh kang Abraham kung unsa ang iyang gisulti ngadto kaniya.”
For I know that he will order his sons, and his house after him, and they will keep the ways of the Lord, to do justice and judgment, that the Lord may bring upon Abraam all things whatever he has spoken to him.
20 Unya miingon si Yahweh, “Tungod kay ang mga sumbong batok sa Sodoma ug Gomora hilabihan na gayod kadako, ug tungod kay ang ilang mga sala hilabihan na kaayo kadaotan,
And the Lord said, The cry of Sodom and Gomorrha has been increased towards me, and their sins are very great.
21 molugsong ako karon didto ug sutaon ang mga sumbong batok kaniya nga nahiabot kanako, kung tinuod ba gayod nga gibuhat nila kini. Kung wala man, masayran ko.”
I will therefore go down and see, if they completely correspond with the cry which comes to me, and if not, that I may know.
22 Busa ang mga lalaki mibiya gikan didto, ug miadto padulong sa Sodoma, apan si Abraham nagpabilin nga nagbarog sa atubangan ni Yahweh.
And the men having departed thence, came to Sodom; and Abraam was still standing before the Lord.
23 Unya miduol si Abraham ug miingon, “Imo ba gayong laglagon ang matarong uban sa daotan?
And Abraam drew near and said, Wouldest you destroy the righteous with the wicked, and shall the righteous be as the wicked?
24 Pananglitan adunay 50 ka matarong nga anaa sa siyudad. Imo ba kining laglagon ug dili luwason ang dapit alang sa 50 ka matarong nga atua didto?
Should there be fifty righteous in the city, will you destroy them? will you not spare the whole place for the sake of the fifty righteous, if they be in it?
25 Dili mo gayod mahimo kanang butanga, ang mopatay sa mga matarong uban sa daotan, aron nga ang matarong mahisama sa pagtagad sa mga daotan. Dili mo gayod kana mahimo! Dili ba himoon man sa manghuhukom sa tibuok kalibotan kung unsa ang makiangayon?”
By no means shall you do as this thing [is] so as to destroy the righteous with the wicked, so the righteous shall be as the wicked: by no means. You that judge the whole earth, shall you not do right?
26 Miingon si Yahweh, “Kung makakaplag ako ug 50 ka matarong sa siyudad sa Sodoma, dili ko pagalaglagon ang tibuok nga dapit alang kanila.”
And the Lord said, If there should be in Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole city, and the whole place for their sakes.
27 Mitubag si Abraham ug miingon, “Tan-awa, nakaako ako sa pagpakigsulti sa akong Ginoo, bisan tuod abog lamang ako ug mga abo!
And Abraam answered and said, Now I have begun to speak to my Lord, and I am earth and ashes.
28 Pananglitan adunay 45 ka matarong? Imo bang laglagon ang tibuok nga siyudad tungod kay kulang ug lima?” Ug miingon siya, “Dili ko kini pagalaglagon, kung makakaplag ako didto ug 45.”
But if the fifty righteous should be diminished to forty-five, will you destroy the whole city because of the five [lacking]? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I should find there forty-five.
29 Misulti na usab siya kaniya, ug miingon, “Pananglitan adunay 40 nga imong makaplagan didto?” Mitubag siya, “Dili ko kini buhaton alang niadtong 40.”
And he continued to speak to him still, and said, But if there should be found there forty? And he said, I will not destroy it for the forty's sake.
30 Miingon siya, “Palihog ayaw kasuko, Ginoo, aron makahimo pa ako nga makasulti. Pananglitan adunay 30 nga makaplagan didto.” Mitubag siya, “Dili ko kini buhaton, kung makakaplag ako ug 30 didto.”
And he said, Will there be anything [against me], Lord, if I shall speak? but if there be found there thirty? And he said, I will not destroy it for the thirty's sake.
31 Miingon siya, “Tan-awa, nakaako ako sa pagsulti sa akong Ginoo! Pananglitan adunay makaplagan nga 20 didto.” Mitubag siya, “Dili ko kini pagalaglagon alang niadtong 20.”
And he said, Since I am able to speak to the Lord, what if there should be found there twenty? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I should find there twenty.
32 Miingon siya, “Palihog ayaw kasuko, Ginoo, ug mosulti ako sa makausa pa sa kataposang higayon. Pananglitan makakaplag ka ug napulo didto.” Ug miingon siya, “Dili ko kini pagalaglagon alang niadtong napulo.”
And he said, Will there be anything [against me], Lord, if I speak yet once? but if there should be found there ten? And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten's sake.
33 Mipadulong si Yahweh sa iyang dalan pagkahuman gayod sa iyang pagpakigsulti kang Abraham, ug mibalik si Abraham sa iyang panimalay.
And the Lord departed, when he left off speaking to Abraam, and Abraam returned to his place.
