Genesis 18
1 And Jehovah appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre. And he sat at the tent-door in the heat of the day.
Lao esa, Abraham leo deka no hau ineꞌ ra sia Mamre, LAMATUALAIN natudꞌu Ao na neu e sia naa. Dudꞌui na taꞌo ia: Faiꞌ naa, mafeoꞌ a seli, de Abraham endoꞌ haꞌi anin mia lalaat mataꞌ.
2 And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, three men standing near him. And when he saw [them], he ran to meet them from the tent-door, and bowed himself to the earth,
Ana botiꞌ mata na ma, nita atahori telu rambariiꞌ sia naa. Boe ma, ana nelaꞌ soru se, de sendeꞌ lululangga na,
3 and said, Lord, if now I have found favour in thine eyes, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.
nae, “Ama nggare! Mete ma bisa na, amaꞌ se tuli au lalaat ngga dei. Onaꞌ mae minu akaꞌ a oe hieꞌ o, malole.
4 Let now a little water be fetched, that ye may wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
Amaꞌ se hahae sia hau mafoꞌ ia, dei fo au denu ana kara haꞌi oe fo safe ei mara.
5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread; and refresh yourselves; after that ye shall pass on; for therefore have ye passed on towards your servant. And they said, So do as thou hast said.
Ma au uu sadꞌia nanaat fee amaꞌ se, fo maꞌadere baliꞌ, fo feꞌe lao mikindoo na. Au umuhoꞌo bisa uhao amaꞌ se.” Ara rataa rae, “Malole. Makasi. Hai tuli.”
6 And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Knead quickly three seahs of wheaten flour, and make cakes.
Abraham nelaꞌ nisiꞌ lalaat, de nafadꞌe Sara nae, “Lailai! Haꞌi mala tarigu maloleꞌ sak esa, fo tao roti.”
7 And Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf tender and good, and gave [it] to the attendant; and he hasted to dress it.
Basa ma nelaꞌ nisiꞌ sapi nara, de paꞌa nala sapi ana mbarunaꞌ esa, ma denu ate na tati, de tunu-nasu e.
8 And he took thick and sweet milk, and the calf that he had dressed, and set [it] before them; and he stood before them under the tree, and they ate.
Boe ma ana neu haꞌi susu, keju, ma sisi naa, de nendi fee fuiꞌ ra. Ara raa ma, ana nambariiꞌ sia hau huu na, de mete-seꞌu se.
9 And they said to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
Boe ma ara ratane rae, “Abraham! Sao ma Sara, sia bee? Ana nataa nae, “Sia lalaat rala.”
10 And he said, I will certainly return to thee at [this] time of the year, and behold, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah was listening at the tent-door, which was behind him.
Boe ma esa mia teluꞌ se olaꞌ nae, “To mana nemaꞌ ia, Au baliꞌ. Leleꞌ naa, sao ma Sara bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa ena.” Ara olaꞌ taꞌo naa ma, Sara rena mia lelesu a seriꞌ.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old [and] advanced in age: it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
Leleꞌ naa, Abraham no Sara lasiꞌ ena, ma Sara o nda afiꞌ hambu fula na sa ena.
12 And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am become old, shall I have pleasure, and my lord old?
Ana rena ara olaꞌ taꞌo naa ma, ana mali sia rala na, ma duꞌa nae, “Awe! Umulasi helaꞌ a rui ngga onaꞌ ia, ma sao ngga o mana masaloeꞌ ena. Naa taꞌo bee hai feꞌe hii dadꞌi masao feuꞌ, fo sangga anaꞌ fai?”
13 And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why is this, that Sarah laughs, saying, Shall I indeed bear, when I am become old?
Basa de LAMATUALAIN natane Abraham nae, “Taꞌo bee de Sara mali? Ana duꞌa nae saa fo Au olaꞌ ia, nda dadꞌi sa, huu eni lasiꞌ ena, do?
14 Is [any] matter too wonderful for Jehovah? At the time appointed I will return to thee, at [this] time of the year, and Sarah shall have a son.
Au ia, LAMATUALAIN! Nda hambu saa fo Au nda tao alaꞌ sa! Misinedꞌa malolole, e! Mete ma Au baliꞌ too mana nemaꞌ ia, Sara bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa ena.”
15 And Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid. And he said, No; but thou didst laugh.
Sara rena taꞌo naa ma, namatau. De ana nafanii nae, “Au nda mali sa ma!” Te Lamatualain nataa nae, “Ho mali tebꞌe ma!”
16 And the men rose up thence, and looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to conduct them.
Basa ma, fuiꞌ ka teluꞌ ra rae risiꞌ kamboꞌ Sodꞌom, de Abraham no se losa dalaꞌ taladꞌa na. Mia naa, ara bisa rita Sodꞌom.
17 And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing?
Basa ma LAMATUALAIN duꞌa sia rala na nae, “Au ae tao ulutu kambo Sodꞌom, te malole lenaꞌ, Au dui Abraham,
18 Since Abraham shall indeed become a great and mighty nation; and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him.
huu tititi-nonosi nara boe ramaheta, ma dadꞌi leo manaseliꞌ. Ma ana o dadꞌi papala-babꞌanggiꞌ soaꞌ neu basa leo sia raefafoꞌ a.
19 For I know him that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice, in order that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham what he hath spoken of him.
Au here ala e, fo nanori ana nara ro atahori feaꞌ ra, fo tungga rakandoo LAMATUALAIN dala Na ma rasodꞌa no ndoo-tetuꞌ. Mete ma ara tao taꞌo naa, Au tao utetu hehelu-fufuli Ngga o Abraham.”
20 And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grievous,
Boe ma LAMATUALAIN nafadꞌe Abraham nae, “Taꞌo ia! Au rena atahori ra fale rala nara, huu atahori kambo Sodꞌom no Gomora deꞌulaka nara, seli tebꞌe ena.
21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come to me; and if not, I will know [it].
Naa de, Au onda, fo ita no mata Ngga, basa saa fo Au renaꞌ a, tebꞌe, do, hokoꞌ. Mete ma hokoꞌ, Au musi bubꞌuluꞌ.”
22 And the men turned thence, and went towards Sodom; and Abraham remained yet standing before Jehovah.
LAMATUALAIN feꞌe olaꞌ no Abraham ma, fuiꞌ ka ruaꞌ ra laoꞌ rakandoo risiꞌ Sodꞌom.
23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also cause the righteous to perish with the wicked?
Abraham neu deka-deka no Lamatualain, de kokoe nae, “Taꞌo bee? Amaꞌ nae tao nalutu atahori maloleꞌ ro atahori deꞌulakaꞌ lao esaꞌ, do?
24 There are perhaps fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not forgive the place for the sake of the fifty righteous that are therein?
Mete ma hambu atahori maloleꞌ lima nulu sia kamboꞌ naa, Amaꞌ feꞌe mae tao mulutu basa atahori ra, do? Do, Amaꞌ nda tao mulutu kamboꞌ naa sa, huu sira?
25 Far be it from thee to do so, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that the righteous should be as the wicked — far be it from thee! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?
Amaꞌ afiꞌ tao taꞌo naa! Afiꞌ losa atahori maloleꞌ ra o mate boe, huu Amaꞌ nae nalutu atahori deꞌulakaꞌ ra. Amaꞌ dadꞌi mana maꞌetuꞌ sia lalai no raefafoꞌ ia. Amaꞌ o bubꞌuluꞌ naa nda matetuꞌ sa.”
26 And Jehovah said, If I find at Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will forgive all the place for their sakes.
LAMATUALAIN nataa nae, “Mete ma Au hambu atahori maloleꞌ lima nulu sia Sodꞌom, Au nda hukun kamboꞌ naa sa, huu sira.”
27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have ventured to speak unto the Lord; I, who am dust and ashes.
Boe ma Abraham olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Amaꞌ, oꞌe ambon, au ae olaꞌ mbei fai. Au ia, atahori nggoaꞌ, nda uhine saa-saa saꞌ boe.
28 Perhaps there may want five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city on account of the five? And he said, If I shall find forty-five there, I will not destroy [it].
Onaꞌ nda hambu atahori maloleꞌ losa lima nulu sa, te akaꞌ a haa nulu lima, naa taꞌo bee? Mete ma kuran atahori lima, naa Amaꞌ feꞌe mae tao mulutu kamboꞌ naa, do?” Lamatualain nataa nae, “Mete ma Au hambu atahori maloleꞌ haa nulu lima sia naa, Au nda tao ulutu e sa.”
29 And he continued yet to speak with him, and said, Perhaps there may be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for the forty's sake.
Abraham feꞌe kokoe seluꞌ nae, “Mete ma hambu akaꞌ a atahori haa nulu, naa taꞌo bee, Amaꞌ?” Nataa nae, “Mete ma hambu atahori haa nulu, Au nda hukun se sa.”
30 And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry that I speak! Perhaps there may be thirty found there. And he said, I will not do it if I find thirty there.
Abraham kokoe nakandooꞌ a nae, “Amaꞌ afiꞌ mumunasa, te mete ma akaꞌ a atahori maloleꞌ telu nulu a, naa taꞌo bee?” Nataa nae, “Mete ma hambu telu nulu, Au nda hukun se sa.”
31 And he said, Behold now, I have ventured to speak with the Lord. Perhaps there may be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for the twenty's sake.
Basa ma Abraham naloe seluꞌ nae, “Amaꞌ afiꞌ mumunasa, te au utane seluꞌ mbei fai. Mete ma akaꞌ a atahori rua nulu, naa taꞌo bee?” Nataa nae, “Mete ma hambu atahori rua nulu, Au nda tao ulutu kamboꞌ naa sa.”
32 And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, that I speak yet but this time! Perhaps there may be ten found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for the ten's sake.
Boe ma Abraham tatana oꞌola na nae, “Amaꞌ! Au olaꞌ lao esa fai, te afiꞌ mumunasa au, o! Mete ma akaꞌ a atahori maloleꞌ sanahulu a, naa taꞌo bee?” Nataa nae, “Mete ma hambu atahori maloleꞌ sanahulu sia naa, Au nda tao ulutu kamboꞌ naa sa.”
33 And Jehovah went away when he had ended speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.
LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ basa ma, Ana lao nakandoo. Boe ma, Abraham baliꞌ.
