Genesis 18
1 The LORD appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.
Явися же ему Бог у дуба Мамврийска, седящу ему пред дверми сени своея в полудни.
2 He lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw that three men stood near him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,
Воззрев же очима своима, виде, и се, трие мужие стояху над ним: и видев притече в сретение им от дверей сени своея: и поклонися до земли
3 and said, “My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please do not go away from your servant.
и рече: Господи, аще убо обретох благодать пред Тобою, не мини раба Твоего:
4 Now let a little water be fetched, wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
да принесется вода и омыются ноги ваши, и прохладитеся под древом:
5 I will get a piece of bread so you can refresh your heart. After that you may go your way, now that you have come to your servant.” They said, “Very well, do as you have said.”
и принесу хлеб, да ясте, и посем пойдете в путь свой, егоже ради уклонистеся к рабу вашему. И рекоша: тако сотвори, якоже глаголал еси.
6 Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Quickly prepare three seahs of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.”
И потщася Авраам в сень к Сарре и рече ей: ускори и смеси три меры муки чисты, и сотвори потребники.
7 Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress it.
И тече Авраам ко кравам, и взя телца млада и добра, и даде рабу, и ускори приготовити е.
8 He took butter, milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them. He stood by them under the tree, and they ate.
И взя масло, и млеко, и телца, егоже приготова: и предложи им, и ядоша: сам же стояше пред ними под древом.
9 They asked him, “Where is Sarah, your wife?” He said, “There, in the tent.”
Рече же к нему: где Сарра жена твоя? Он же отвещав, рече: се, в сени.
10 He said, “I will certainly return to you at about this time next year; and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son.” Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.
Рече же: (се) возвращаяся прииду к тебе во время сие в часы, и родит сына Сарра жена твоя. Сарра же услыша пред дверми сени сущи за ним.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.
Авраам же и Сарра стара (беста, ) заматеревшая во днех: и престаша Сарре бывати женская.
12 Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”
Разсмеяся же Сарра в себе, глаголющи: не у было ми убо доселе, господин же мой стар.
13 The LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Will I really bear a child when I am old?’
И рече Господь ко Аврааму: что яко разсмеяся Сарра в себе, глаголющи: еда истинно рожду? Аз же состарехся.
14 Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes around, and Sarah will have a son.”
Еда изнеможет у Бога слово? В сие время возвращуся к тебе в часы, и будет Сарре сын.
15 Then Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not laugh,” for she was afraid. He said, “No, but you did laugh.”
Отречеся же Сарра, глаголющи: не разсмеяхся: убояся бо. И рече ей: ни, но разсмеялася еси.
16 The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.
Воставше же оттуду мужие, воззреша на лице Содома и Гоморра: Авраам же идяше с ними, провождая их.
17 The LORD said, “Will I hide from Abraham what I do,
Господь же рече: еда утаю Аз от Авраама раба Моего, яже Аз творю?
18 since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him?
Авраам же бывая будет в язык велик и мног, и благословятся о нем вси языцы земнии:
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 the LORD, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that the LORD may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him.”
вем бо, яко заповесть сыном своим и дому своему по себе, и сохранят пути Господни творити правду и суд, яко да наведет Господь на Авраама вся, елика глагола к нему.
20 The LORD said, “Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,
Рече же Господь: вопль Содомский и Гоморрский умножися ко Мне, и греси их велицы зело:
21 I will go down now, and see whether their deeds are as bad as the reports which have come to me. If not, I will know.”
сошед убо узрю, аще по воплю их грядущему ко Мне совершаются: аще же ни, да разумею.
22 The men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
И обратившеся оттуду мужие, приидоша в Содом: Авраам же еще бяше стояй пред Господем.
23 Abraham came near, and said, “Will you consume the righteous with the wicked?
И приближився Авраам, рече: погубиши ли праведнаго с нечестивым, и будет праведник яко нечестивый?
24 What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it?
Аще будут пятьдесят праведницы во граде, погубиши ли я? Не пощадиши ли всего места пятидесяти ради праведных, аще будут в нем?
25 May it be far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Should not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
Никакоже Ты сотвориши по глаголу сему, еже убити праведника с нечестивым, и будет праведник яко нечестивый: никакоже, Судяй всей земли, не сотвориши ли суда?
26 The LORD said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place for their sake.”
Рече же Господь: аще будут в Содомех пятьдесят праведницы во граде, оставлю весь град и все место их ради.
27 Abraham answered, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, although I am dust and ashes.
И отвещав Авраам, рече: ныне начах глаголати ко Господу моему, аз же есмь земля и пепел:
28 What if there will lack five of the fifty righteous? Will you destroy all the city for lack of five?” He said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.”
аще же умалятся пятьдесят праведницы в четыредесять пять, погубиши ли четыредесяти пятих ради весь град? И рече: не погублю, аще обрящу тамо четыредесять пять.
29 He spoke to him yet again, and said, “What if there are forty found there?” He said, “I will not do it for the forty’s sake.”
И приложи еще глаголати к Нему, и рече: аще же обрящутся тамо четыредесять? И рече: не погублю ради четыредесяти.
30 He said, “Oh do not let the Lord be angry, and I will speak. What if there are thirty found there?” He said, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”
И рече: что, Господи, аще возглаголю? Аще же обрящется тамо тридесять? И рече: не погублю тридесятих ради.
31 He said, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord. What if there are twenty found there?” He said, “I will not destroy it for the twenty’s sake.”
И рече: понеже имам глаголати ко Господу: аще же обрящутся тамо двадесять? И рече: не погублю, аще обрящутся тамо двадесять.
32 He said, “Oh do not let the Lord be angry, and I will speak just once more. What if ten are found there?” He said, “I will not destroy it for the ten’s sake.”
И рече: что, Господи, аще возглаголю еще единою? Аще же обрящутся тамо десять? И рече: не погублю десятих ради.
33 The LORD went his way as soon as he had finished communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
Отиде же Господь, яко преста глаголя ко Аврааму: и Авраам возвратися на место свое.
