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. And he sat at 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 saw, and behold, three men standing near 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, Lord, if now I have found favour in thine eyes, 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, that ye may 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 refresh yourselves; after that ye shall pass on; for therefore have ye passed on towards your servant. And they said, So do as thou hast 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, Knead quickly three seahs of wheaten flour, 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 took a calf tender and good, and gave [it] to the attendant; and he hasted 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 thick and sweet milk, and the calf that he had dressed, and set [it] before them; and he stood before 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 at [this] time of the year, and behold, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah was listening at 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] advanced 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 am become old, shall I have pleasure, and my lord 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 is this, that Sarah laughs, saying, Shall I indeed bear, when I am become old?
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 [any] matter too wonderful for Jehovah? At the time appointed I will return to thee, at [this] time of the year, 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.”
And Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid. And he said, No; but thou didst laugh.
16 Kane jogo owuok mondo odhi, Ibrahim nowuok kodgi ka kowogi ka gichomo Sodom.
And the men rose up thence, and looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to conduct them.
17 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Bende dapand ne Ibrahim gima adwaro timo?
And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing?
18 Adieri Ibrahim biro bedo oganda maduongʼ kendo maratego, kendo ogendini duto manie piny nogwedhi nikech en.
Since Abraham shall indeed 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 know him that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice, in order that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham what he hath 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 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 is come to me; and if not, I will know [it].
22 Jogo nowuok kendo negiluwo yo madhi Sodom, to Jehova Nyasaye nodongʼ kochungʼ e nyim Ibrahim.
And the men turned thence, and went towards Sodom; and Abraham remained yet standing 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, Wilt thou also cause the righteous to perish with the wicked?
24 Kaponi nitie ji piero abich maonge ketho e dalano? Dikethe koso diweye nikech ngima ji makare piero abichgo?
There are perhaps fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not forgive the place for the sake of the fifty righteous that are therein?
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?”
Far be it from thee to do so, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that the righteous should be as the wicked — far be it from thee! Will 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 at Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will forgive all the place for their sakes.
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 ventured to speak unto the Lord; I, who am 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 may want five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city on account of the five? And he said, If I shall find forty-five there, I will not destroy [it].
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 continued yet to speak with him, and said, Perhaps there may 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 that I speak! Perhaps there may 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 ventured to speak with the Lord. Perhaps there may 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, that I speak yet but this time! Perhaps there may be ten 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 away when he had ended speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.
