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.
Habang nakaupo siya sa pintuan ng tolda sa kainitan ng araw, nagpakita si Yahweh kay Abraham sa mga kakahuyan ni Mamre.
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,
Tumingala siya at naroon, nakita niya ang tatlong lalaki na nakatayo sa harap niya. Nang makita sila ni Abraham, tumakbo siya mula sa pintuan ng tolda, para salubungin sila at yumukod siya sa lupa.
3 and said, Lord, if now I have found favour in thine eyes, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.
Sinabi niya, “Panginoon, kung nakasumpong ako ng biyaya sa iyong paningin, huwag kang umalis at iwan ang iyong lingkod.
4 Let now a little water be fetched, that ye may wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
Hayaan ninyong maidala ang kaunting tubig, mahugasan ang inyong mga paa, at makapagpahinga kayo sa ilalim ng punong kahoy.
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.
Hayaan ninyong dalhan ko kayo ng kaunting pagkain, at nang manumbalik ang inyong lakas. Pagkatapos maaari na kayong tumuloy sa pupuntahan ninyo dahil naparito na kayo sa inyong lingkod.” Sinabi nila, “Gawin mo ang sinabi mo.”
6 And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Knead quickly three seahs of wheaten flour, and make cakes.
Pagkatapos dali-daling pumunta si Abraham sa tolda ni Sarah at sinabi, “Bilisan mo, magdala ka ng tatlong takal ng harina, masahin mo ito, at gawing tinapay.”
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.
Pagkatapos tumakbo si Abraham sa kawan, kumuha siya ng guyang mainam at maayos at ibinigay ito sa lingkod, at nagmadali siyang ihanda ito.
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.
Kumuha siya ng mantikilya at gatas, at ang guya na naihanda at nilagay ang pagkain sa harap nila. At tumayo siya sa ilalim ng puno habang sila ay kumakain.
9 And they said to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
Sinabi nila sa kanya, “Nasaan ang iyong asawa na si Sarah?” Sumagot siya, “Naroon sa loob ng tolda.”
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.
Sinabi niya, “Makatitiyak ka na babalik ako sa iyo sa tagsibol at makikita mo, magkakaroon ng anak na lalaki ang iyong asawa na si Sarah.” Nakikinig si Sarah sa pintuan ng tolda na nasa likod ni Abraham.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old [and] advanced in age: it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
Ngayon matanda na nga sina Abraham at Sarah, talagang napakatanda na at nalampasan na ni Sarah ang edad kung saan hindi na maaaring magkaanak pa ang isang babae.
12 And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am become old, shall I have pleasure, and my lord old?
Kaya tinawanan ni Sarah ang kaniyang sarili at sinabing,” “Ngayong matanda na ako, magkakaroon pa ba ako ng kasiyahan, gayong ang panginoon ko ay matanda na rin?”
13 And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why is this, that Sarah laughs, saying, Shall I indeed bear, when I am become old?
Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Abraham, “Bakit tumawa si Sarah at sinabing, 'Magkakaanak pa batalaga ako gayong matanda na ako?'
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.
Mayroon bang mahirap para kay Yahweh? Pagsapit ng itinakda kong panahon, sa tagsibol, babalik ako sa iyo. Sa ganitong oras sa susunod na taon, si Sarah ay magkakaroon ng anak na lalaki.
15 And Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid. And he said, No; but thou didst laugh.
Pagkatapos, itinanggi ni Sarah ito at sinabing, “Hindi ako tumawa,” dahil siya ay natakot. Sumagot si Yahweh, “Hindi, tumawa ka.”
16 And the men rose up thence, and looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to conduct them.
Pagkatapos tumayo ang mga lalaki para umalis at tumingin pababa patungong Sodoma. Sumama si Abraham sa kanila para ihatid sila sa pagpapatuloy ng kanilang paglalakbay.
17 And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing?
Pero sinabi ni Yahweh, “Dapat ko bang itago kay Abraham ang gagawin ko,
18 Since Abraham shall indeed become a great and mighty nation; and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him.
gayong tiyak na magiging dakila at makapangyarihang bansa si Abraham, at pagpapalain ang lahat ng bansa sa daigdig sa pamamagitan niya?
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.
Dahil pinili ko siya para maturuan ang kanyang mga anak pati na ang sambahayan na susunod sa kanya na mapanatili ang kaparaanan ni Yahweh, na gumawa ng matuwid at makatarungan, nang sa gayon maibibigay ni Yahweh kay Abraham ang sinabi niya sa kanya.”
20 And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grievous,
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Yahweh, “Dahil napakarami ng paratang laban sa Sodoma at Gomora, at napakalubha na ng kanilang kasalanan,
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].
bababa ako ngayon doon at titingnan ko kung kasingsama sila gaya ng paratang sa kanila na sinabi sa akin. Kung hindi man, malalaman ko.”
22 And the men turned thence, and went towards Sodom; and Abraham remained yet standing before Jehovah.
Pagkatapos ang mga lalaki ay umalis mula roon at pumunta patungo sa Sodoma, pero nanatiling nakatayo si Abraham sa harapan ni Yahweh.
23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also cause the righteous to perish with the wicked?
Pagtapos lumapit si Abraham at sinabi, “Lilipulin mo ba ang matuwid kasama ang makasalanan?
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?
Marahil mayroong limampung matuwid sa loob ng lungsod. Lilipulin niyo ba ito at hindi ililigtas ang lugar alang-alang sa kapakanan ng limampung matuwid na naroon?
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?
Malayong gawin mo ang mga bagay na ito, na patayin ang mga matuwid kasama ang makasalanan, at ituring ang mga matuwid gaya ng mga makasalanan. Malayong gawin mo ito! Hindi ba gagawin ng Hukom ng buong mundo kung ano ang makatarungan?”
26 And Jehovah said, If I find at Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will forgive all the place for their sakes.
Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Kung may nakita kang limampung matuwid sa lungsod na iyon, ililigtas ko ang buong lugar para sa kanila.”
27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have ventured to speak unto the Lord; I, who am dust and ashes.
Sumagot si Abraham at sinabi, “Tingnan mo ang aking ginawa, nangahas akong makipag-usap sa aking Panginoon, kahit na alikabok at abo lamang ako!
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].
Paano kung nabawasan ng lima ang limampung matuwid? Wawasakin mo ba ang buong lungsod dahil nabawasan ng lima? At sinabi niya, “Hindi ko ito wawasakin kung may mahanap akong apatnapu't lima.”
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.
Muli siyang nakipag-usap sa kanya at sinabing, “Paano kung apatnapu ang makita roon? Sumagot siya, “Alang-alang sa apatnapu, hindi ko ito gagawin.”
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.
Sinabi niya, “Pakiusap, huwag kayong magagalit Panginoon, para makapagsalita ako. Kung sakali na tatlumpu ang mahanap doon? “Sinabi ng Diyos, “Hindi ko ito gagawin kung may mahanap akong tatlumpu doon.”
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.
Sinabi niya, “Tingnan mo, nangahas akong makipag-usap sa aking Panginoon! Marahil dalawampu ang makita roon.” Tumugon siya, “Hindi ko ito gagawin alang-alang sa dalawampu.”
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.
Sinabi niya, “Pakiusap, huwag kayong magalit, Panginoon, sasabihin ko ito sa huling pagkakataon. Marahil sampu ang makita roon.” At sinabi niya, “Hindi ko ito wawasakin alang-alang sa sampung natira.”
33 And Jehovah went away when he had ended speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.
Nagtungo na si Yahweh sa kaniyang paroroonan matapos siyang makipag-usap kay Abraham, at bumalik na si Abraham sa kanyang tahanan.
