Genesis 18
1 Now the Lord came to him by the holy tree of Mamre, when he was seated in the doorway of his tent in the middle of the day;
Mamre munna gangpi phung komma chun Pakai chu Abraham henga ahung kilah in ahi. Nikhat hi nichangsat pettah hin Abraham chu aponbuh maiya ana touvin ahi.
2 And lifting up his eyes, he saw three men before him; and seeing them, he went quickly to them from the door of the tent, and went down on his face to the earth;
Ama ahung dahdoh in ahile akomma mithum ana din amun ahi. Amaho chu amu phat in ama alhai jel in amaho lemnan tol ah abohkhup in ahi.
3 And said, My Lord, if now I have grace in your eyes, do not go away from your servant:
Chuin Abraham'in “Ka Pakai,” tin adonbut in, “Nanghon pha nasah uleh phat chomkhat naki ngah thei diu ham.
4 Let me get water for washing your feet, and take your rest under the tree:
Nakeng sil na ding'u kahin choi kah in hiche thing limnoiya hin ana kicholdo ta diu vin.
5 And let me get a bit of bread to keep up your strength, and after that you may go on your way: for this is why you have come to your servant. And they said, Let it be so.
Chule nang hon na lhacha pa hi khoto na neitah a nei hungvil ngal'u ahi leh na kholyin na mano masang in na tha kido na ding un naneh ding'u them khat nahin gon peh ing nge, ama hon aphai, nasei bang chun hin bol tan ati uve.
6 Then Abraham went quickly into the tent, and said to Sarah, Get three measures of meal straight away and make cakes.
Hichun Abraham chu apon buh kom langa alhai jel'in Sarah kom ah asei tan ahi, “Kinloi tah in changbong ate na dimthum tedoh in lang twi to mehnang in, chule changlhah hin keng loi tem in,” aga tin ahi.
7 And running to the herd, he took a young ox, soft and fat, and gave it to the servant and he quickly made it ready;
Hichun Abraham'in gancha ho kivah na lang ajon in bongnou athao pen asohte ho apen, gangtah in ahin hon sah in ahi.
8 And he took butter and milk and the young ox which he had made ready and put it before them, waiting by them under the tree while they took food.
An neh ding ho amin phat in Abraham'in bongnoi ha le bongnoi toh chule bongnou sa ahon u-chu amaho angsung ah aneh diuvin aga lui peh in amaho anneh laisen ama jong thinglim a chun ading jinge.
9 And they said to him, Where is Sarah your wife? And he said, She is in the tent.
Chuin ama hon Abraham jah'a “Na loinu Sarah hoilam a um aham?” atiu leh Abraham'in ponbuh sunga aum nai ati.
10 And he said, I will certainly come back to you in the spring, and Sarah your wife will have a son. And his words came to the ears of Sarah who was at the back of the tent-door.
Chuin amaho lah a khat chun aseiyin, “Keima hi khovei tulai phat mama le kahung ki nungle kit ding ahi, vetan hiche phatteng chule na inneipi Sarah khun chapa khat ana hin ding ahi,” ati chu anunga ponbuh sunglam a um Sarah chun angai lhin ahi.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were very old, and Sarah was past the time for giving birth.
Abraham le Sarah chu atahsa kum lhon chu atam gel lhon tan, chule Sarah jong nao nei phat kum akhel ahi tai.
12 And Sarah, laughing to herself, said, Now that I am used up am I still to have pleasure, my husband himself being old?
Hichun Sarah guhthim in ama le ama aki nuisat in hitin aseiye, “Iti hithei ding ham, kei tobang aching sa numeiyin kipana thilpha kamu ding ham, ka jipa jeng jong akum atam lheh tai,” ati.
13 And the Lord said, Why was Sarah laughing and saying, Is it possible for me, being old, to give birth to a child?
Pathen in Abraham jah achun aseiye, “Ipi dinga Sarah khu nuiya ka teh nunga keiman cha kanei tahbeh mong ding hi nam,” ati ham?
14 Is there any wonder which the Lord is not able to do? At the time I said, in the spring, I will come back to you, and Sarah will have a child.
Pakai Pathen ading'a ipi ahahsa umham? keima khovei tulai phat na kahung kit ding chule Sarah in cha pasal khat anei ding ahi.”
15 Then Sarah said, I was not laughing; for she was full of fear. And he said, No, but you were laughing.
Chuphat in Sarah chu atija tan hichun Sarah in aseilep tan, “Keima ka nuipoi” atin ahin la, “Pathen in adonbut in nangma na nui nai,” ati.
16 And the men went on from there in the direction of Sodom; and Abraham went with them on their way.
Hichun pasal thum hochu an aneh jou un ading doh un Sodom lang chu galdot un, ama hon adalha uvin, Abraham chu amaho thah doh ding tin lampi gei aga kilhonpin ahi.
17 And the Lord said, Am I to keep back from Abraham the knowledge of what I do;
Pathen chun aseiye, “Keiman katoh gon hohi Abraham kom a kasei lou ding ham?” ati.
18 Seeing that Abraham will certainly become a great and strong nation, and his name will be used by all the nations of the earth as a blessing?
Ajeh chu Abraham chu len tah le nam hattah chule vannoi ja nam jouse Abraham jeh a phatthei chang ding ahi ngal'in,
19 For I have made him mine so that he may give orders to his children and those of his line after him, to keep the ways of the Lord, to do what is good and right: so that the Lord may do to Abraham as he has said.
Chule achapate le ama ban a ainsung mi aman thu apeh a, chutia chu adih abol theiyu va, thu adih a atan thei na dinguva Pakai lampi ajui thei uva, chuteng le Pakaiyin Abraham chung chang'a akitep nasa chu ahin molso theina dinga ama hi kilheng doh ahiti la ka henan,” ati.
20 And the Lord said, Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is very great, and their sin is very evil,
Hichun Pathen in Abraham ahoulimpi in “Sodom le Gomorrah douna thu kisei asangval tan chule achonset nau jong ase val tai,” ati.
21 I will go down now, and see if their acts are as bad as they seem from the outcry which has come to me; and if they are not, I will see.
Keima che suh ing kating ka henga thu hung kisei dungjuiya hi abol cheh'u ham, ahilou ham gapho chen inge,” ati.
22 And the men, turning from that place, went on to Sodom: but Abraham was still waiting before the Lord.
Hichun miho chu chukom akon in aki heiyun Sodom lang chu ajon un ache tauve, ahin lah Abraham chu Pakai masanga chun ading chah den jing in ahi.
23 And Abraham came near, and said, Will you let destruction come on the upright with the sinners?
Abraham'in Pathen chu anailut in hitin aseiye, “Nangman michonpha atheng chule mi phalou agilouho aboncha nasuh mang tha ding ham,” ati.
24 If by chance there are fifty upright men in the town, will you give the place to destruction and not have mercy on it because of the fifty upright men?
Ijem tin khopi sunga chun michonpha som nga bang um ta le, asunga michonpha som nga ho jal'a jong chu akhomun chu khen dehlou hela nasuh mang jeng ding ham?
25 Let such a thing be far from you, to put the upright to death with the sinner: will not the judge of all the earth do right?
Nang dinga hitobang thil nabol a, michonpha le migilou agoma natha cheh a, michonpha le migilou akibah ding chu bolda hel jengle chun kati! Leiset thutan pan adih a atan lou ding ham?” atile.
26 And the Lord said, If there are fifty upright men in the town, I will have mercy on it because of them.
Hichun Pathen'in adonbut in, “keiman mi somnga thudih thilpha bol Sodom khopi a kamu doh theile, amaho jal'a chu khopi kahuhdoh ding ahi.”
27 And Abraham answering said, Truly, I who am only dust, have undertaken to put my thoughts before the Lord:
Hichun Abraham'in asei kit in, “Ka Pakai nangman neiphal peh thei dingle kasei ban ho kajom nom in keima vang bohse vutvai tobang kahin,
28 If by chance there are five less than fifty upright men, will you give up all the town to destruction because of these five? And he said, I will not give it to destruction if there are forty-five.
Ijem tin mi somli le nga tobang chonpha mitheng mi som nga sanga lhomjo namu le amaho jeh'a chu khopi hi nasuh mang ding ham, mi nga lhahsam jeh chun, Pathenin adonbut in, Keiman hiche khopi a hi mi som li le nga kamu doh jouva ahile sumang ponge,” ati.
29 And again he said to him, By chance there may be forty there. And he said, I will not do it if there are forty.
Hichun Abraham'in adeichat angaichat avel in aseiyin, “Ijem tin mi som li bou umta le,” atin chuin Pakaiyin ahoulimpi kit in, “Keiman amaho mi somli jeh a chu kasuh manglou hel ding ahi,” ati.
30 And he said, Let not the Lord be angry with me if I say, What if there are thirty there? And he said, I will not do it if there are thirty.
Ka Pakai lungset tah in lung hanglou jenin, Abraham atao kit leovin, neiphal peh theile chun kasei nom na laiye, Ijemtin mi som thum muta le chun,” atile Pakai Pathen in ahoulimpi in “Keiman mi somthum hijong le ka suhmang lou ding ahi,” ati.
31 And he said, See now, I have undertaken to put my thoughts before the Lord: what if there are twenty there? And he said, I will have mercy because of the twenty.
Hichun Abraham'in aseikit in, “Nangman neiphal peh theile ka thusei hi ka jom nome, Ijem tin mi som ni hi jongle atile,” Pakaiyin adonbut in, “Mi somni kamu jongle ka suhmang lou ding ahi,” ati.
32 And he said, O let not the Lord be angry and I will say only one word more: by chance there may be ten there. And he said, I will have mercy because of the ten.
Abraham'in achaina in asei peh tan, “Ka Pakai Pathen nei lung han hih beh in lang, khatvei neisei sah kit le tia katao ahi, mi som muta le chun” hichun Pathen in aseiye, “Mi som kamu doh jongle kasuh manglou ding ahi,” ati.
33 And the Lord went on his way when his talk with Abraham was ended, and Abraham went back to his place.
Hichun Abraham henga athusei dingin aboncha aseisoh phat'in Pakai chu ache tai; Abraham vang chu a in mun lam a ahung kile kit tai.
