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 Yahweh appeared unto him among the oaks of Mamre, —as, he, was sitting at the opening of the tent in the heat of the day.
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 looked, and lo! three men, standing over against him, —so he looked and ran to meet them from the opening of the tent, and bowed himself to the earth;
3 Miingon siya, “Ginoo, kung gikahimut-an mo ako, ayaw sayloi ug biyai ang imong sulugoon.
and said, —O My Lord! if, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, do not I pray thee pass on from thy servant.
4 Tugoti nga dalhan kamo ug diyutay nga tubig, aron hugasan ang inyong mga tiil, ug pahulay kamo ilalom sa kahoy.
Let there be fetched, I pray thee a little water, and bathe ye your feet, —and rest 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 let me fetch a morsel of bread, and stay ye your heart, Afterwards, ye may pass on, For on this account, have ye passed by, over against your servant. And they said, Thus, shalt thou do as thou hast spoken.
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.”
So Abraham hastened towards the tent unto Sarah, —and said, Hasten thou three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make hearth-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 unto the herd, ran Abraham, —and took a calf tender and good and gave unto the young man, and he hastened to make it ready.
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 that he had made ready, and set before them, —while, he, was standing near them under the tree, they did eat.
9 Miingon sila kaniya, “Diin man si Sara ang imong asawa?” Mitubag siya, “Atua didto sa sulod sa barongbarong.”
And they said unto him, As to Sarah thy wife… And he said Lo! [she is] 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, surely return, unto thee at the quickening season, —and lo! a son for Sarah thy wife. Now Sarah, was hearkening at the opening of the tent, it, 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.
But Abraham and Sarah, were old, far gone in days, —it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
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?”
So then Sarah laughed within herself, saying: After I am past age, hath there come to me pleasure, my lord, also being 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 Yahweh said unto Abraham, —Wherefore now did Sarah laugh saying. Can it really and truly be that I should bear, seeing that I have become 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.”
Is anything, too wonderful for Yahweh? At the appointed time, I will return unto thee, at the quickening season and Sarah, 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.”
And Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not, For she was afraid. And he said—Nay! but thou didst 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 rose up from thence, and looked out over the face of Sodom, —Abraham also going with them to set them on their way.
17 Apan miingon si Yahweh, “Angay bang itago ko kang Abraham kung unsa ang akong pagahimuon,
Now, Yahweh, had said, —Am I going to hide from Abraham what I 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?
when, Abraham, shall surely become, a great and mighty nation, —and all the nations of the earth, shall be blessed in him?
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 have become his intimate friend, To the end that he may command his sons and his house after him, so shall they keep the way of Yahweh, by doing righteousness and justice. To the end that Yahweh may bring in for Abraham, what he hath spoken concerning 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,
So Yahweh said, The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah, because it hath become great, —And their sin, because it hath become exceeding grievous,
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.”
Let me go down, pray, and let me behold, whether according to their outcry which hath come in unto me, they have done altogether, And if not. I must 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 turned from thence, and went their way, towards Sodom, —but, Yahweh was yet standing before Abraham.
23 Unya miduol si Abraham ug miingon, “Imo ba gayong laglagon ang matarong uban sa daotan?
So then Abraham drew near and said, Wilt thou really sweep away, the righteous with the lawless?
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?
Peradventure there are fifty righteous, in the midst of the city, Wilt thou really sweep away, and not spare the place, for the sake of the fifty righteous which are therein?
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?”
Far be it from thee! to do after this manner. to put to death the righteous with the lawless! Then should righteous and lawless be alike, Far be it from thee! Shall, the Judge of all the earth not do justice?
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 Yahweh said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous in the midst of the city, then will I spare all the place for their sake.
27 Mitubag si Abraham ug miingon, “Tan-awa, nakaako ako sa pagpakigsulti sa akong Ginoo, bisan tuod abog lamang ako ug mga abo!
And Abraham responded and said, —Behold I pray thee I have ventured to speak unto My Lord, though I am dust 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.”
Peradventure there may lack, of the fifty righteous, five, Wilt thou destroy for five all the city? And he said, I will not destroy, if I find there forty and 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 added, yet once more, to speak unto him, and said, Peradventure there may be found there—forty. And he said—I will not do it, for the sake of the forty.
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 Let it not, I pray thee, be vexing to My Lord, but let me speak, Peradventure there may be found there—thirty And he said, I will not to it, if I find there—thirty.
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 Behold, I pray thee, I have ventured to speak unto My Lord, Peradventure there may be found there—twenty. And he said I will not destroy it, for the sake of the 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, Let it not, I pray thee, be vexing to My Lord, but let me speak only this once, Peradventure there may be found there—ten. And he said, I will not destroy [it], for the sake of the ten!
33 Mipadulong si Yahweh sa iyang dalan pagkahuman gayod sa iyang pagpakigsulti kang Abraham, ug mibalik si Abraham sa iyang panimalay.
And Yahweh went his way, when he had made an end. of speaking unto Abraham, —Abraham, also returned to his place.
