< Genesis 18 >

1 Then the LORD appeared to Abraham by the Oaks of Mamre in the heat of the day, while he was sitting at the entrance of his tent.
A: ibalaha: me da Ma: melei soge amo sema ifa bagade lelebe sogebi esalu. Eso gia: beba: le, e da ea abula diasu logo holei gadenene filasa: i esalu. Amalalu, Hina Gode da ema doaga: i.
2 And Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he ran from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.
A: ibalaha: me da ba: legadole, dunu udiana gadenene lelebe ba: i. Ba: loba, e da hedolowane ili yosia: musa: asi, amola ilima begudui.
3 “My lord,” said Abraham, “if I have found favor in your sight, please do not pass your servant by.
E amane sia: i, “Hina! Dilia da na hahawane ba: i galea, mae baligili masa.
4 Let a little water be brought, that you may wash your feet and rest yourselves under the tree.
Na da hano gaguli misa: ne sia: mu. Amoga dilia emo dodofelalu, amo ifa ea ougiga helefima.
5 And I will bring a bit of bread so that you may refresh yourselves. This is why you have passed your servant’s way. After that, you may continue on your way.” “Yes,” they replied, “you may do as you have said.”
Na da dilia hawa: hamosu dunu defele esala. Dilia gasa bu lama: ne, na da dilima ha: i manu imunu da defeala: ?” Ilia da bu adole i, “Defea! Dia sia: i defele hamoma!”
6 So Abraham hurried into the tent and said to Sarah, “Quick! Prepare three seahs of fine flour, knead it, and bake some bread.”
Amaiba: le, A:ibalaha: me da hedolowane ea abula diasua golili sa: i. E da Selama amane sia: i, “Hedolo! Falaua 22 lida amo lale, bibiagole amola gobele agi ga: gi hamoma.”
7 Meanwhile, Abraham ran to the herd, selected a tender and choice calf, and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it.
Amalalu, A:ibalaha: me da ea lai gebo gilisisu amoga hehenane, bulamagau mano gasono ida: iwane lale, ea hawa: hamosu dunuma i. Amo da hedolowane hahamoi.
8 Then Abraham brought curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and he set them before the men and stood by them under the tree as they ate.
Amalalu, e da dodo maga: me haei, dodo maga: me amola bulamagau mano gobei, amo gaguli misini, sofe misi dunu ili amo moma: ne ligisi. Ilia da ha: i nanoba, e da ifa ea ougiga ilima gadenene lelu.
9 “Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked. “There, in the tent,” he replied.
Ilia da ema amane adole ba: i, “Dia uda Sela da habila: ?” A: ibalaha: me da bu adole i, “E da abula diasu ganodini esala.”
10 Then the LORD said, “I will surely return to you at this time next year, and your wife Sarah will have a son!” Now Sarah was behind him, listening at the entrance to the tent.
Amalalu, Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Na da waha oubi sesegeyale uduli, dafawane dima misunu. Dia uda Sela da dunu mano lalelegemu.” Sela da abula diasu holei amo Hina Gode Ea baligiga galu amoga sia: lalabolalu.
11 And Abraham and Sarah were already old and well along in years; Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.
A: ibalaha: me amola Sela da da: i hamoi dagoiba: le, Sela da mano lamu ode defei amo baligi dagoi ba: i.
12 So she laughed to herself, saying, “After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?”
Amaiba: le, Sela da ea dogo ganodini ousu. Ea asigi dawa: su ganodini, e amane dawa: i, “Na da: i da wadela: lesi dagoi amola nagoa da da: i hamoi. Na da habodane amo hahawane hou ba: ma: bela: ?”
13 And the LORD asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Can I really bear a child when I am old?’
Amalalu, Hina Gode da A: ibalaha: mema amane sia: i, “Sela da abuliba: le oune amane sia: i, ‘Na da da: i hamoiba: le, habodane mano lalelegema: bela: ?’
14 Is anything too difficult for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you—in about a year—and Sarah will have a son.”
Gasa bagade liligi hamomu da Godema hamedebela: ? Na da oubi sesegeyale uduli, eso ilegei defele na dima olelei, bu misunu. Amola Sela da dunu mano lalelegemu.”
15 But Sarah was afraid, so she denied it and said, “I did not laugh.” “No,” replied the LORD, “but you did laugh.”
Sela da beda: iba: le, ogogoi. E amane sia: i, “Na da hame oui.” Be Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Be di da oui dagoi.”
16 When the men got up to leave, they looked out over Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them off.
Sofe misi dunu da masusa: wa: legadoloba, ilia da ba: le gaidi Sodame ba: i. Ilia da logoga ahoanoba, A:ibalaha: me da ili sigi asi.
17 And the LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?
Amalalu, Hina Gode da Hima amane sia: i, “Na da waha hou hamomu amo A: ibalaha: mema wamolegema: bela: ?
18 Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and through him all the nations of the earth will be blessed.
A: ibalaha: me ea fi da fi bagade amola gasa bagade hamomu. Ea houba: le, osobo bagade fifi asi gala huluane da hahawane dogolegele ilegesu ba: mu.
19 For I have chosen him, so that he will command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, in order that the LORD may bring upon Abraham what He has promised.”
Bai Na da e ilegei dagoi. E da ea mano noga: le olelema: ne amola ea fi dunu da hou moloidafa amola dafawanedafa amo olelema: ne, Na da e ilegei. Amai galea, Na da Na hahawane ilegele sia: i liligi huluane ema imunu.”
20 Then the LORD said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great. Because their sin is so grievous,
Amalalu, Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Na da Sodame amola Goumola ela fi wadela: idafa hou amo nabi.
21 I will go down to see if their actions fully justify the outcry that has reached Me. If not, I will find out.”
Amaiba: le, Na da ilia hou ba: ma: ne amo da nabi liligi defele ganabela: ? Amo Na da ba: la masunu. Hame galea Na da dawa: mu.”
22 And the two men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD.
Sofe misi dunu da sinidigili, Sodame moilaiga doaga: musa: asi. Be A: ibalaha: me da mae fisili Hina Gode Ea midadi lelu.
23 Abraham stepped forward and said, “Will You really sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
Amalalu, e da Hina Godema misini, amane sia: i, “Di da dafawane gilisili ida: iwane dunu amola wadela: i hamosu dunu ili fane legema: bela: ?
24 What if there are fifty righteous ones in the city? Will You really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous ones who are there?
Amabela: ? Dunu ida: iwane 50 agoane amo moilai bai bagade ganodini esalabala? Amai galea, Di da amo dunu ilia hou dawa: beba: le, amo moilai bai bagade fadegale fasima: bela: ?
25 Far be it from You to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Will not the Judge of all the earth do what is right?”
Na da agoane dawa: Di da dunu ida: iwane amola wadela: i hamosu dunu gilisili hou afadafa fawane hamomu da hamedei gala. Amo hou da Dima hame gala. Osobo bagade fifi asi gala ilima Fofada: su Dunudafa, E da hou moloidafa fawane hamoma: bela: ? Na agoane dawa: E da moloidafa hou fawane hamomu.”
26 So the LORD replied, “If I find fifty righteous ones within the city of Sodom, on their account I will spare the whole place.”
Hina Gode da bu amane sia: i, “Na da Sodame moilai bai bagade ganodini dunu ida: iwane gala 50 agoane ba: sea, Na da ilia hou dawa: beba: le, Sodame huluane hame gugunufinisimu.”
27 Then Abraham answered, “Now that I have ventured to speak to the Lord—though I am but dust and ashes—
Amalalu, A:ibalaha: me da bu sia: i, “Na da osobo amola nasubu, amo fawane. Be na da mae beda: iwane, Hina Godema sia: i dagoiba: le, na da bu sia: mu.
28 suppose the fifty righteous ones lack five. Will You destroy the whole city for the lack of five?” He replied, “If I find forty-five there, I will not destroy it.”
Di da Sodame moilai bai bagade ganodini, dunu ida: iwane 45 fawane ba: sea, Di da 50 defei amo ganodini wadela: i hamosu dunu biyale fawane ba: sea, moilai wadela: ma: bela: ?” E bu adole i, “Na da dunu ida: iwane 45 fawane ba: sea, moilai hame gugunufinisimu.”
29 Once again Abraham spoke to the LORD, “Suppose forty are found there?” He answered, “On account of the forty, I will not do it.”
A: ibalaha: me da eno amane sia: i, “Be 40 fawane ba: sea, adi hamoma: bela: ?” E amane sia: i, “Amo 40 ilia hou dawa: beba: le, Na da moilai bai bagade hame wadela: mu.”
30 Then Abraham said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak further. Suppose thirty are found there?” He replied, “If I find thirty there, I will not do it.”
Amalalu, A:ibalaha: me da amane sia: i, “Hina Gode! Nama mae ougima, be na da Dima bu sia: mu. Dunu 30 fawane ida: iwane esalea adi hamoma: bela: ?” E bu adole i, “Na da 30 ba: sea, moilai hame gugunufinisimu.”
31 And Abraham said, “Now that I have ventured to speak to the Lord, suppose twenty are found there?” He answered, “On account of the twenty, I will not destroy it.”
A: ibalaha: me da amane sia: i, “Defea! Na da wali mae beda: iwane Hina Gode Ema sia: i dagoi. Be 20 fawane ba: sea?” E bu adole i, “Moloi dunu 20 ba: sea, Na da hame wadela: mu.”
32 Finally, Abraham said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak once more. Suppose ten are found there?” And He answered, “On account of the ten, I will not destroy it.”
A: ibalaha: me da amane sia: i, “Hina Gode! Nama mae ougima, be na da afadafa fawane eno Dima sia: mu. Dunu 10 ida: iwane fawane ba: sea, adi hamoma: bela: ?” Hina Gode da bu adole i, “Dunu 10 ilia hou ida: iwane ba: sea, Na da amo moilai hame gugunufinisimu.”
33 When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, He departed, and Abraham returned home.
Hina Gode amola A: ibalaha: me, ela gilisili sia: dasu da dagoloba, Hina Gode da fisili asi amola A: ibalaha: me da hi diasuga buhagi.
