Chakruok 18
1 Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Ibrahim machiegni kod yiende madongo mag Mamre kane obet e dho hembe kar odiechiengʼ tir.
And Jehovah appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.
2 Ibrahim notingʼo wangʼe malo kendo noneno ji adek machwo kochungʼ bute. Kane onenogi, noringo matek koa e dho hema mondo oromnegi kendo nopodho piny auma e nyimgi.
And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him. And when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,
3 Nowacho niya, “Ruodha ka ayudo ngʼwono e wangʼi, to kik ikadh jatichni.
and said, My lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.
4 Rituru mondo okel pi matin, mondo uluokgo tiendu eka uywe e tiend yien-ni.
Let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
5 We ayudnue chiemo moro matin mondo ucham omednu teko eka udhi nyime gi wuodhu mosekelou ir misumbauni.” Negidwoke niya, “Mano ber, tim kamano.”
And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and strengthen ye your heart. After that ye shall pass on, inasmuch as ye came to your servant. And they said, Do so as thou have said.
6 Omiyo Ibrahim noreto kadhi ir Sara ei hema mowachone niya, “Kaw mogo mayom gorogoro adek, idwale kendo itedgo makati piyo piyo.”
And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.
7 Eka noringo odhi e dipo kendo noyiero nyarwath mopugno kendo nomiyo jatich molose piyo.
And Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it to the servant. And he hastened to dress it.
8 Eka Ibrahim nokawo mo gi chak mar adila kod ring nyarwath mane osetedi maber mi oketogi e nyimgi. Kane gichiemo, Ibrahim nochungʼ butgi e tiend yath.
And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them. And he stood by them under the tree, and they ate.
9 Negipenjo Ibrahim niya, “Ere Sara chiegi?” Ibrahim nodwokogi niya, “En ei hema.”
And they said to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
10 Eka achiel kuomgi nowacho niya, “Adier anaduog iri e kinde maka ma higa mabiro kendo Sara chiegi biro nywolo nyathi ma wuowi.” To kara Sara ne winjo wachno kobet e dho hema e ngʼe welogo.
And he said, I will certainly return to thee when the season comes round, and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.
11 Ibrahim kod Sara nosebedo moti kendo hikgi noniangʼ kendo ndalo Sara mag nywol nosekadho.
Now Abraham and Sarah were old, and well stricken in age. It had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
12 Omiyo Sara nohum kanyiero gie chunye niya, “Bende ma ditimre adier ka an kod ruodha wasedoko joma oti ka ma?”
And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I have become old shall I have pleasure, my lord also being old?
13 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nopenjo Ibrahim niya, “Angʼo momiyo Sara nonyiero kawacho ni, ‘Bende danywol nyathi kaka asetini?’
And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I who am old certainly bear a child?
14 Bende nitie gimoro amora matek ne Jehova Nyasaye? Abiro duogo iri e kinde mowinjore e higa mabiro kendo Sara biro nywolo nyathi ma wuowi.”
Is anything too hard for Jehovah? At the set time I will return to thee, when the season comes round, and Sarah shall have a son.
15 Omiyo Sara noluor mokwer niya, “Ne ok anyiero.” To kata kamano Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “En adier ni ninyiero.”
Then Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh, for she was afraid. And he said, No, but thou did laugh.
16 Kane jogo owuok mondo odhi, Ibrahim nowuok kodgi ka kowogi ka gichomo Sodom.
And the men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. And Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Bende dapand ne Ibrahim gima adwaro timo?
And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham that which I do,
18 Adieri Ibrahim biro bedo oganda maduongʼ kendo maratego, kendo ogendini duto manie piny nogwedhi nikech en.
since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
19 Nimar aseyiere mondo ochik nyithinde kod nyikwaye mondo oluw yore Jehova Nyasaye ka gitimo timbe mabeyo kendo makare. Kamano Jehova Nyasaye biro timo ne Ibrahim gik moko duto mane osingone.”
For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice, to the end that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham that which he has spoken of him.
20 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Ywak mi ywaknego Sodom gi Gomora duongʼ kendo richogi ngʼeny,
And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,
21 kuom mano abiro dhi mondo ane ka gik magisetimo richo kaka ywak osechopo ira, eka abiro ngʼeyo adiera.”
I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which comes to me. And if not, I will know.
22 Jogo nowuok kendo negiluwo yo madhi Sodom, to Jehova Nyasaye nodongʼ kochungʼ e nyim Ibrahim.
And the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham yet stood before Jehovah.
23 Eka Ibrahim nosudo machiegni kode kendo openjo niya, “Bende ditiek joma kare machal gi joma timbegi richo?
And Abraham drew near, and said, Will thou consume righteous men with wicked men?
24 Kaponi nitie ji piero abich maonge ketho e dalano? Dikethe koso diweye nikech ngima ji makare piero abichgo?
Perhaps there are fifty righteous men within the city. Will thou consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous men that are in it?
25 Ok dineg joma onge ketho machal gi joma oketho, adier ok inyal timo kamano nikech kaponi itimo kamano to joma onge ketho diyud kum mana maromre gi joma nigi ketho. To mano ok nyalre nikech jangʼad bura nyaka ngʼad bura kare?”
That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay a righteous man with a wicked man, that so the righteous man should be as the wicked man. Far be it from thee. Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
26 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Ka ayudo ji piero abich maonge ketho e dala mar Sodom, to abiro reso dalano nikech joma onge kethogo.”
And Jehovah said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous men within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake.
27 Eka Ibrahim nowacho kendo niya, “Kaka koro asebedo gichir ma awuoyo gi Ruoth Nyasaye, kata obedo ni ok an gimoro to makmana lowo kod buru.
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to the Lord, who am but dust and ashes.
28 To ka dipo ni kwan joma onge ketho oromo mana ji piero angʼwen gabich, dikech dalano nikech ji abich kende?” Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Kayudo ji piero angʼwen gabich kanyo, to ok nakethe.”
Perhaps there shall lack five of the fifty righteous men. Will thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I find there forty-five.
29 Ibrahim nomedo wuoyo kode kendo niya, “To ka dipo ni ji piero angʼwen kende ema oyudore kanyo?” Ruoth Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Kayudo ji piero angʼwen kanyo, to ok nakethe.”
And he spoke to him yet again, and said, Perhaps there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for the forty's sake.
30 Eka Ibrahim nomedo wachone niya, “Kik isin koda, to weya aweya awuo. To ka dipo ni ji piero adek ema oyudi e dalano?” Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Ok nakethi ka ayudo ji piero adek maonge ketho kanyo.”
And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Perhaps there shall be thirty found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
31 Ibrahim nowacho niya, “Kaka koro asebedo gi chir ma wuoyo gi Ruoth Nyasaye, angʼoma ditim ka ji piero ariyo ema oyudore e dalano?” Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Nikech ji piero ariyo maonge ketho ok anakethe.”
And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to the Lord. Perhaps there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the twenty's sake.
32 Eka Ibrahim nowacho niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye kik sin koda, to oyie awach wach achiel mogik. Ka dipo ni ji apar kende ema oyudi e dalano?” Ruoth Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Nikech ji apar maonge ketho ok natiek dalano.”
And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once. Perhaps ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten's sake.
33 Kane Jehova Nyasaye osetieko wuoyo kod Ibrahim, nowuok kendo Ibrahim nodok dala.
And Jehovah went his way as soon as he had left off conversing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
