Genesis 18
1 And Jehovah appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.
Ary Jehovah niseho tamin’ i Abrahama teo an-kazo terebintan’ i Mamre; ary nipetraka teo am-baravaran’ ny lainy izy, raha nafana ny andro;
2 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,
dia nanopy ny masony izy ka niery, ary, indreo, nisy telo lahy nijanona teo tandrifiny, ka nony nahita ireo izy, dia niala teo am-baravaran’ ny lainy ka nihazakazaka hitsena azy, dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany
3 and said, My lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.
ka nanao hoe: Tompo ô, raha mahita fitia eto imasonao aho, masìna ianao, aza dia mandalo ny mpanomponao.
4 Let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
Aoka hangalana rano kely ianareo hanasana ny tongotrareo; ary aoka mba hiala sasatra kely eo am-pototry ny hazo ianareo;
5 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.
dia haka mofo kely aho hataonareo ody am-bavafo; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia handeha ihany ianareo; fa tonga atỳ amin’ ny mpanomponareo ianareo. Ary hoy izy telo lahy: Ataovy ihany araka izay nolazainao.
6 And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.
Dia nandeha faingana Abrahama nankany an-day tany amin’ i Saraha ka nanao hoe: Faingana, makà koba tsara toto intelon’ ny famarana; dia fetafetao ka ataovy mofo.
7 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.
Ary Abrahama kosa nihazakazaka nankany amin’ ny omby, dia naka zanak’ omby tanora sady tsara ka nanolotra azy tamin’ ny ankizilahy, dia lasa faingana izy hamboatra azy.
8 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.
Ary Abrahama naka ronono mandry sy ronono ary ilay zanak’ omby efa namboariny, dia narosony teo anoloan’ izy telo lahy; ary nijanona teo anilany teo ambanin’ ny hazo izy, dia nihinana izy telo lahy.
9 And they said to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
Ary hoy izy telo lahy tamin’ i Abrahama: Aiza Saraha vadinao? Ary hoy kosa izy: Indro, ao an-day izy.
10 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.
Ary hoy Izy: Hiverina aminao tokoa Aho raha avy ny taona toy izao; ary, indro hanana zazalahy Saraha vadinao. Ary Saraha nandre izany teo am-baravaran’ ny lay, izay teo ivohon’ Ilay niteny.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, and well stricken in age. It had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
Ary Abrahama sy Saraha dia samy efa zoki-olona ka nandroso fahanterana, ary efa nitsahatra tamin’ ny fombam-behivavy Saraha.
12 And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I have become old shall I have pleasure, my lord also being old?
Ary Saraha dia nihomehy anakampo ka nanao hoe: Moa mbola hanana hafaliana ihany va aho rehefa tratrantitra toy izao, sady efa antitra koa itompokolahy?
13 And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I who am old certainly bear a child?
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Abrahama: Nahoana no nihomehy Saraha ka nanao hoe: Hiteraka tokoa va aho, kanefa izao efa antitra izao?
14 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.
Fa moa misy zavatra mahagaga izay tsy hain’ i Jehovah va? Amin’ ny fotoan’ andro raha avy ny taona toy izao dia hiverina aminao Aho, ary Saraha hanana zazalahy.
15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh, for she was afraid. And he said, No, but thou did laugh.
Dia nandà Saraha satria natahotra izy, ka nanao hoe: Tsy nihomehy aho tsy akory. Fa hoy Ilay niteny: Tsia; fa nihomehy mihitsy ianao.
16 And the men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. And Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
Dia nitsangana ireny lehilahy ireny ka niala teo, dia nitsinjo an’ i Sodoma; ary Abrahama niaraka taminy hanatitra azy.
17 And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham that which I do,
Ary Jehovah nanao hoe: Hafeniko amin’ i Abrahama va izay hataoko?
18 since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Fa Abrahama ho tonga firenena lehibe sy mahery tokoa, ary aminy no hitahiana ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany.
19 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.
Fa efa nifidy azy Aho mba handidy ny zanany sy ny taranany mandimby azy hitandreman’ ireo ny lalàn’ i Jehovah hanao izay marina sy mahitsy, mba hitondran’ i Jehovah amin’ i Abrahama izay efa nolazainy taminy.
20 And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,
Ary hoy Jehovah: Ny fitarainan’ i Sodoma sy Gomora dia lehibe tokoa, ary ny fahotany dia mavesatra indrindra;
21 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.
hidina Aho ka hizaha na efa nahatanteraka izany tokoa izy araka ny fitarainan’ ny tany, izay efa tonga atỳ amiko, na tsia; ary raha tsy izany, dia ho fantatro.
22 And the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham yet stood before Jehovah.
Dia nihodina niala teo ireo lehilahy ireo ka nandroso ho any Sodoma; fa Abrahama kosa mbola nijanona teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Will thou consume righteous men with wicked men?
Dia nanatona Abrahama ka nanao hoe: Haringanao miaraka amin’ ny meloka va ny marina?
24 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?
Angamba misy olo-marina dimam-polo ao an-tanàna; haringanao koa va, ka tsy hamindranao fo ny tanàna noho ny dimam-polo marina izay ao?
25 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?
Sanatria Anao raha hanao toy izany ka hamono ny marina miaraka amin’ ny meloka, ka ny marina hatao tahaka ny meloka; sanatria Anao izany! tsy hitsara marina va ny Mpitsara ny tany rehetra?
26 And Jehovah said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous men within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake.
Ary hoy Jehovah: Raha mahita dimam-polo marina ao an-tanàna Sodoma Aho, dia hamindrako fo ny tanàna rehetra noho ireny.
27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to the Lord, who am but dust and ashes.
Dia namaly Abrahama ka nanao hoe: Indro, fa efa sahy niteny tamin’ ny Tompo aho nefa vovoka sy lavenona:
28 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.
Angamba ho latsaka dimy ny dimam-polo marina; moa haringanao va ny tanàna rehetra noho ny dimy? Ary hoy Izy: Tsy handringana Aho, raha mahita dimy amby efa-polo ao.
29 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.
Dia, mbola niteny taminy indray izy ka nanao hoe: Angamba efa-polo no ho hita ao. Ary hoy Izy: Tsy mba hanao izany Aho noho ny efa-polo.
30 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.
Ary hoy izy: Aoka anie mba tsy ho tezitra ny Tompo, fa mbola hiteny aho: Angamba telo-polo no ho hita ao. Ary hoy Izy: Tsy mba hanao izany Aho, raha mahita telo-polo ao.
31 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.
Ary hoy izy: Indro, fa efa sahy niteny tamin’ ny Tompo aho: Angamba roa-polo no ho hita ao. Ary hoy Izy: Tsy mba handringana azy Aho noho ny roa-polo.
32 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.
Ary hoy izy: Aoka anie mba tsy ho tezitra Hianao, Tompo, fa hiteny izao indray mandeha izao ihany aho: Angamba folo no ho hita ao. Ary hoy Izy: Tsy mba handringana Aho noho ny folo.
33 And Jehovah went his way as soon as he had left off conversing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
Dia lasa nandeha Jehovah, rehefa vita ny teny nataony tamin’ i Abrahama; ary Abrahama niverina ho any amin’ ny fonenany.
