Genesis 18
1 And the Lord appeared to him in the vale of Mambre as he was sitting at the door of his tent, in the very 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 when he had lifted up his eyes, there appeared to him three men standing near him: and as soon as he saw them he ran to meet them from the door of his tent, and adored down to the ground.
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 he said: Lord, if I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away from thy servant:
Sinabi niya, “Panginoon, kung nakasumpong ako ng biyaya sa iyong paningin, huwag kang umalis at iwan ang iyong lingkod.
4 But I will fetch a little water, and wash ye your feet, and rest ye 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 set a morsel of bread, and strengthen ye your heart, afterwards you shall pass on: for therefore are you come aside to your servant. And they said: Do as thou hast spoken.
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 Abraham made haste into the tent to Sara, and said to her: Make haste, temper together three measures of flour, and make cakes upon the hearth.
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 he himself ran to the herd, and took from thence a calf very tender and very good, and gave it to a young man: who made haste and boiled 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 He took also butter and milk, and the calf which he had boiled, and set before them: but he stood by them under the tree.
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 when they had eaten, they said to him: Where is Sara thy wife? He answered: Lo, she is 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 to him: I will return and come to thee at this time, life accompanying and Sara thy wife shall have a son. Which when Sara heard, she laughed behind the door of the tent.
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 they were both old, and far advanced in years, and it had ceased to be with Sara 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 she laughed secretly, saying: After I am grown old and my lord is an old man, shall I give myself to pleasure?
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 the Lord said to Abraham: Why did Sara laugh, saying: Shall I who am an old woman bear a child indeed?
Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Abraham, “Bakit tumawa si Sarah at sinabing, 'Magkakaanak pa batalaga ako gayong matanda na ako?'
14 Is there any thing hard to God? According to appointment I will return to thee at this same time, life accompanying, and Sara 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 Sara denied, saying: I did not laugh: for she was afraid. But the Lord said, Nay: 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 when the men rose up from thence, they turned their eyes towards Sodom: and Abraham walked with them, bringing them on the way.
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 the Lord said: Can I hide from Abraham what I am about to do:
Pero sinabi ni Yahweh, “Dapat ko bang itago kay Abraham ang gagawin ko,
18 Seeing he shall become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the earth shall be blessed?
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 that he will command his children, and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord, and do judgment and justice: that for Abraham’s sake the Lord may bring to effect all the things he hath spoken unto 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 the Lord said: The cry of Sodom and Gomorrha is multiplied, and their sin is become exceedingly 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 and see whether they have done according to the cry that is come to me: or whether it be not so, that I may know.
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 they turned themselves from thence, and went their way to Sodom: but Abraham as yet stood before the Lord.
Pagkatapos ang mga lalaki ay umalis mula roon at pumunta patungo sa Sodoma, pero nanatiling nakatayo si Abraham sa harapan ni Yahweh.
23 And drawing nigh he said: Wilt thou destroy the just with the wicked?
Pagtapos lumapit si Abraham at sinabi, “Lilipulin mo ba ang matuwid kasama ang makasalanan?
24 If there be fifty just men in the city, shall they perish withal? and wilt thou not spare that place for the sake of the fifty just, if they be 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 this thing, and to slay the just with the wicked, and for the just to be in like case as the wicked, this is not beseeming thee: thou who judgest all the earth, wilt not make this judgment.
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 the Lord said to him: If I find in Sodom fifty just within the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake.
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: Seeing I have once begun, I will speak to my Lord, whereas I 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 What if there be five less than fifty just persons? wilt thou for five and forty destroy the whole city? And he said: I will not destroy it, if I find five and forty.
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 again he said to him: But if forty be found there, what wilt thou do? He said: I will not destroy it for the sake of forty.
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 Lord, saith he, be not angry, I beseech thee, if I speak: What if thirty shall be found there? He answered: 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 Seeing, saith he, I have once begun, I will speak to my Lord. What if twenty be found there? He said: I will not destroy it for the sake of twenty.
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 I beseech thee, saith he, be not angry, Lord, if I speak yet once more: What if ten should be found there? And he said: I will not destroy it for the sake of ten.
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 the Lord departed, after he had left 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.
