< 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.
Явися же ему Бог у дуба Мамврийска, седящу ему пред дверми сени своея в полудни.
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,
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, Lord, if now I have found favour in thine eyes, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.
и рече: Господи, аще убо обретох благодать пред Тобою, не мини раба Твоего:
4 Let now a little water be fetched, that ye may wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
да принесется вода и омыются ноги ваши, и прохладитеся под древом:
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.
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 And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Knead quickly three seahs of wheaten flour, and make cakes.
И потщася Авраам в сень к Сарре и рече ей: ускори и смеси три меры муки чисты, и сотвори потребники.
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.
И тече Авраам ко кравам, и взя телца млада и добра, и даде рабу, и ускори приготовити е.
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.
И взя масло, и млеко, и телца, егоже приготова: и предложи им, и ядоша: сам же стояше пред ними под древом.
9 And they said to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
Рече же к нему: где Сарра жена твоя? Он же отвещав, рече: се, в сени.
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.
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 [and] advanced in age: it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
Авраам же и Сарра стара (беста, ) заматеревшая во днех: и престаша Сарре бывати женская.
12 And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am become old, shall I have pleasure, and my lord old?
Разсмеяся же Сарра в себе, глаголющи: не у было ми убо доселе, господин же мой стар.
13 And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why is this, that Sarah laughs, saying, Shall I indeed bear, when I am become old?
И рече Господь ко Аврааму: что яко разсмеяся Сарра в себе, глаголющи: еда истинно рожду? Аз же состарехся.
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.
Еда изнеможет у Бога слово? В сие время возвращуся к тебе в часы, и будет Сарре сын.
15 And Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid. And he said, No; but thou didst laugh.
Отречеся же Сарра, глаголющи: не разсмеяхся: убояся бо. И рече ей: ни, но разсмеялася еси.
16 And the men rose up thence, and looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to conduct them.
Воставше же оттуду мужие, воззреша на лице Содома и Гоморра: Авраам же идяше с ними, провождая их.
17 And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing?
Господь же рече: еда утаю Аз от Авраама раба Моего, яже Аз творю?
18 Since Abraham shall indeed become a great and mighty nation; and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him.
Авраам же бывая будет в язык велик и мног, и благословятся о нем вси языцы земнии:
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.
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 And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great and 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 they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come to me; and if not, I will know [it].
сошед убо узрю, аще по воплю их грядущему ко Мне совершаются: аще же ни, да разумею.
22 And the men turned thence, and went towards Sodom; and Abraham remained yet standing before Jehovah.
И обратившеся оттуду мужие, приидоша в Содом: Авраам же еще бяше стояй пред Господем.
23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also cause the righteous to perish with the wicked?
И приближився Авраам, рече: погубиши ли праведнаго с нечестивым, и будет праведник яко нечестивый?
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?
Аще будут пятьдесят праведницы во граде, погубиши ли я? Не пощадиши ли всего места пятидесяти ради праведных, аще будут в нем?
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?
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 And Jehovah said, If I find at Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will forgive all the place for their sakes.
Рече же Господь: аще будут в Содомех пятьдесят праведницы во граде, оставлю весь град и все место их ради.
27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have ventured to speak unto the Lord; I, who am dust and ashes.
И отвещав Авраам, рече: ныне начах глаголати ко Господу моему, аз же есмь земля и пепел:
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].
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 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.
И приложи еще глаголати к Нему, и рече: аще же обрящутся тамо четыредесять? И рече: не погублю ради четыредесяти.
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.
И рече: что, Господи, аще возглаголю? Аще же обрящется тамо тридесять? И рече: не погублю тридесятих ради.
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.
И рече: понеже имам глаголати ко Господу: аще же обрящутся тамо двадесять? И рече: не погублю, аще обрящутся тамо двадесять.
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.
И рече: что, Господи, аще возглаголю еще единою? Аще же обрящутся тамо десять? И рече: не погублю десятих ради.
33 And Jehovah went away when he had ended speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.
Отиде же Господь, яко преста глаголя ко Аврааму: и Авраам возвратися на место свое.
