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;
Niheo ama’e marine o hatae jabajaba’ i Mamrèo t’Iehovà, ie niambesatse an-dalambein-kiboho’e eo an-kavotrohañ’ andro.
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;
Nampiandra fihaino re nahaoniñe ondaty telo nijohañe ey. Ie niisa’e, le nihitrike boak’ an-dala’ i kiboho’ey nifanalaka am’iereo vaho niondrek’an-tane,
3 And said, My Lord, if now I have grace in your eyes, do not go away from your servant:
le nanao ty hoe: Naho nanjo fañisohañe am-pihaino’o Iraho henaneo ry Talè, ko rioñe’o ty mpitoro’o.
4 Let me get water for washing your feet, and take your rest under the tree:
Angao hanesean-drano kedekede hanasà’areo fandia, ie mitofà ambane’ o hatae eio,
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.
le hanjotsoako mahakama minjilite’e hampanintsiñe ty arofo’o, heneke izay t’ie hañavelo, fa izay ty niaria’ areo mb’ami’ty mpitoro’o toy. Le hoe iereo, Ano i sinaontsi’oy.
6 Then Abraham went quickly into the tent, and said to Sarah, Get three measures of meal straight away and make cakes.
Aa le nihitrike mb’amy Sarà an-kiboho’e ao: Masikà hoe re, halankaño mona telo fañaranañe: kobao le anoñafo mofo.
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;
Nilay mb’an-troke raike mb’eo amy zao t’i Avrahame nijoboñe dronga maleme hena vaho natolo’e ami’ty ajalahy hañalankaña’e masika.
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.
Nendese’e amy zao ty venten-kabobo naho ronono naho i dronga nihalankañeñey, vaho nazotso’e am’ iereo, le nijohañe marine’ iereo añ’ alo’ i hatae’ey t’ie nikama.
9 And they said to him, Where is Sarah your wife? And he said, She is in the tent.
Hoe iereo tama’e. Aia ty vali’o Sarà? Le hoe re, Indroañe amo kibohotseo.
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.
Le hoe re, Toe hibalihako, homb’ etoan-draho ami’ty sa-mañeva vaho Inao! hisamake ana-dahy t’i Sarà tañanjomba’o. Nahajanjiñe izay t’i Sarà an-dala’ i kibohotsey, toe amboho’e ao.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were very old, and Sarah was past the time for giving birth.
Nibey t’i Avrahame naho i Sarà henane zay, nigain-kantetse vaho tsy ni-ampela ka t’i Sarà.
12 And Sarah, laughing to herself, said, Now that I am used up am I still to have pleasure, my husband himself being old?
Aa le nisomobohe’ i Sarà añ’arofo ao ty hoe: Izaho fa bey hao ro mbe hinembanembañe, naho fa bey ka i talèkoy?
13 And the Lord said, Why was Sarah laughing and saying, Is it possible for me, being old, to give birth to a child?
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Avrahame, Inoñe ty nampitohake i Sarà t’ie nanao ty hoe, Toe hahatoly anake hao, izaho fa bey?
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.
Eo hao ty tsy lefe’ Iehovà? Hibalike mb’ama’o Iraho amy andro nifantañañey, an-tsa mañeva vaho hitendreke ana-dahy amy Sarà.
15 Then Sarah said, I was not laughing; for she was full of fear. And he said, No, but you were laughing.
Niliere’ i Sarà ami’ty hoe, Izaho tsy nihehe! ie nihembañe. Aiy, hoe re, toe nitohàke.
16 And the men went on from there in the direction of Sodom; and Abraham went with them on their way.
Nienga amy zao indaty rey, nitalake ty tarehe’ i Sedome; le nindreza’ i Avrahame hasese’e mb’eo.
17 And the Lord said, Am I to keep back from Abraham the knowledge of what I do;
Aa hoe t’Iehovà, Haètako amy Avrahame hao ty hanoeko,
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?
fa toe ho foko ra’elahy naho maozatse t’i Avrahame, vaho ie ty hahasoa-tata ze kila foko’ ty tane toy?
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.
Apotako te hitoroa’e o ana’eo naho i hasavereña’e hanonjohy azey ty hifahatse amo sata’ Iehovào hañorike ty hiti’e naho ty hatò; vaho ho henefe’ Iehovà i nitsarae’e amy Avrahamey.
20 And the Lord said, Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is very great, and their sin is very evil,
Le hoe t’Iehovà, Mireoreo ty fitoreova’ i Sedome naho i Amorà, vaho loho mampioje o hakeo’eo!
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.
Tsy mete tsy hizotsoako handrendreke hera toe nanoeñe o hene toreo nahatakatse ahikoo; fa naho tsie le ho fantako.
22 And the men, turning from that place, went on to Sodom: but Abraham was still waiting before the Lord.
Aa le nitolike mb’eo indaty rey nimb’e Sedome añe, fe mbe nijohañe añatrefa’ Iehovà eo t’i Avrahame.
23 And Abraham came near, and said, Will you let destruction come on the upright with the sinners?
Niharinea’ i Avrahame le nanoa’e ty hoe, Haitoa’o mindre amo tsereheñeo hao ty vantañe?
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?
He te limam-polo mahity ro amy rovay ao, haitoa’o hao vaho tsy hapo’o i toetsey ty amy vantañe limampolo ama’e rey?
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?
Lavits’ azo ty hanao izay, ty hampitraofe’o fanjamanañe amo lo tserekeo o vañoñeo, hampamirañe amo ratio ty toli’ o mahitio! Tsy marine azo izay! Tsy hanao ty hatò hao ty Mpizaka’ ty tane bey toy?
26 And the Lord said, If there are fifty upright men in the town, I will have mercy on it because of them.
Le hoe t’Iehovà, Naho hanjo ondaty mahity limampolo amy rovay, le hene hiheveako ty am’iereo i rovay.
27 And Abraham answering said, Truly, I who am only dust, have undertaken to put my thoughts before the Lord:
Tinoi’ i Avrahame ty hoe: Ie zao, fa rinambeko ty hitaroñe entam-bolañe amy Talè, izaho deboke naho lavenoke.
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.
Hera ho po-lime i limampolo vantañe rey, ho fonga rotsahe’o hao i rovay ty amy limey? Le hoe Re, Naho manjo efapolo lim’ amby ao le tsy ho rotsaheko.
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.
Nindrae’e ty hoe, Ke te ho efapolo ty zoeñe ao? Tinoi’e ty hoe: Ty amy efapoloy tsy hanoeko.
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.
Le hoe re, Ee te tsy ho viñera’ i Talè t’ie mivolañe. Hera telo-polo ty ho zoeñe ao? Tinoi’e ty hoe, Tsy hanoeko ka te tendrek’ ahy ty telopolo.
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.
Hoe re, Kanao rinambeko ty hinday entañe amy Talè; atao t’ie roapolo ty ho oniñe ao? Tinoi’e ty hoe, Ty amy roapolo rezay, tsy harotsako.
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.
Le hoe re. Ee any te tsy ho viñetse amako t’i Talè ami’ty entako honka’e toy; atao t’ie folo ty ho zoeñe ao. Tinoi’e ty hoe, Tsy ho rotsaheko ty amy folo rey.
33 And the Lord went on his way when his talk with Abraham was ended, and Abraham went back to his place.
Ie niheneke i tsara’e amy Avrahamey, le nienga t’Iehovà; vaho nimpoly mb’an-toe’e mb’eo t’i Avrahame.
