Genesis 18
1 The Lord appeared to Abraham at the oaks of Mamre. Abraham was sitting at the entrance to his tent as the day became really hot.
Un Tas Kungs viņam parādījās pie Mamres ozoliem, kad viņš sēdēja sava nama durvīs, ap dienas karstumu.
2 He looked up and all of a sudden he saw three men standing there. As soon as he saw them, he ran over to meet them and bowed low to the ground.
Un viņš pacēla savas acis un skatījās, un redzi, trīs vīri stāvēja viņa priekšā.
3 He said, “Sir, if you please, don't continue your journey without spending some time here with me, your servant.
Un tos ieraudzījis viņš tiem tecēja pretī no dzīvokļa durvīm un nometās pie zemes un sacīja: Kungs, ja es esmu žēlastību atradis Tavās acīs, tad lūdzams neej garām Savam kalpam.
4 Let me have some water brought so you can wash your feet and rest under the tree.
Lai atnes drusciņ ūdens, un mazgājiet savas kājas un apmetaties apakš šī koka.
5 Also let me bring some food so you can get your strength back before you go on your way, now that you've come to visit me here.” “That would be fine,” they answered. “Please do as you've suggested.”
Un es dabūšu kādu kumosu maizes, ka jūs atspirdzināt savu sirdi; pēc varat iet; jo tāpēc jūs esat pie sava kalpa nākuši. Un tie sacīja: dari, kā tu esi sacījis.
6 Abraham hurried back to the tent and told Sarah, “Quick! Make some bread using three large measures of the best flour. Knead the dough and bake the bread.”
Un Ābrahāms traucās dzīvoklī pie Sāras un sacīja: steidzies, ņem sijātu miltu trīs mērus, samīci un cep karašas.
7 Then Abraham ran to the cattle herd and chose a good, young calf and gave it to his servant who quickly killed and cooked it.
Un Ābrāams notecēja pie lopiem un ņēma vienu mīkstu un labu teļu un deva to puisim, un tas steidzās to sataisīt.
8 Then he took some yogurt, milk, and the cooked meat, and placed the food in front of them. He stood nearby under a tree while they ate.
Un viņš ņēma sviestu un pienu un to teļu, ko bija sataisījis, un cēla tiem priekšā un stāvēja pats pie tiem apakš tā koka, un tie ēda.
9 “Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked him. “Over there, inside the tent,” he replied.
Tad tie uz viņu sacīja: kur ir Sāra, tava sieva? Un viņš sacīja: redzi, iekšā dzīvoklī.
10 Then one said, “I promise you that I will come back to visit you about this time next year, and your wife Sarah will have a son.” Sarah was listening, hiding just inside the entrance to the tent behind him.
Un tas sacīja: nāktin Es atnākšu pie tevis ap šo laiku nākamā gadā; un redzi, Sārai, tavai sievai, būs dēls. Un Sāra to dzirdēja dzīvokļa durvīs; jo tās bija aiz viņa.
11 Abraham and Sarah were old, getting on in years. Sarah was well past the age of having children.
Bet Ābrahāms un Sāra bija veci un daudz dienas piedzīvojuši, un pie Sāras vairs nebija, kā sievām mēdz būt.
12 Sarah was laughing inside, saying to herself, “Now that I'm old and worn out, how would I experience pleasure? My husband is old too!”
Tad Sāra pati pie sevis smējās sacīdama: vai tad man izdēdējušai būs kārība, un mans kungs ir vecīgs?
13 The Lord asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and ask, ‘How could it possibly be true that I'll have a child now I'm so old?’
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Ābrahāmu: kam Sāra smējusies par to sacīdama: vai es tiešām dzemdēšu, veca būdama?
14 Is anything too difficult for the Lord to do? I will come back next year when I said I would, in the spring, and Sarah will have a son.”
Vai tad kāda lieta Tam Kungam neiespējama? Noliktā laikā Es atnākšu pie tevis nākamā gadā, tad Sārai būs dēls.
15 Sarah denied it because she was afraid, claiming, “I didn't laugh.” “Yes, you did laugh,” the Lord replied.
Un Sāra liedzās sacīdama: es neesmu smējusies. Jo tai bija bail. Bet Viņš sacīja: nē, tu esi gan smējusies.
16 Then the men left. They looked down on Sodom and headed in that direction. Abraham accompanied them part of the way.
Tad tie vīri no turienes cēlās un griezās uz Sodomu. Un Ābrahāms gāja tiem līdz, tos pavadīdams.
17 Then the Lord said, “Should I keep from Abraham what I'm going to do?
Un Tas Kungs sacīja: vai man būs slēpt Ābrahāmam, ko gribu darīt?
18 Abraham will definitely become a great and powerful nation, and all the nations on earth will be blessed through him.
Jo Ābrahāms būs par lielu un varenu tautu, un iekš viņa visi ļaudis virs zemes taps svētīti.
19 I've chosen him so that he will teach his sons and their families to follow the way of the Lord by doing what is right and good, so that I, the Lord, can do for Abraham what I promised.”
Jo Es to esmu atzinis, lai viņš saviem bērniem un savam namam pēc sevis pavēl sargāt Tā Kunga ceļu, darot, kas taisnība un kas tiesa, ka Tas Kungs liktu nākt uz Ābrahāmu, ko Viņš tam runājis.
20 Then the Lord said, “There are many complaints made against Sodom and Gomorrah because they sin so blatantly.
Un Tas Kungs sacīja: liela brēkšana ir par Sodomu un Gomoru, un viņu grēki ļoti grūti.
21 I ‘m going to see if these complaints that have reached me are completely true. I'll know if they're not.”
Tad nu Es noiešu un lūkošu, vai tie visnotaļ ir darījuši pēc tās brēkšanas, kas Manā priekšā nākusi, vai ne; to Es gribu zināt.
22 The two men turned and went towards Sodom, but the Lord stayed there with Abraham.
Un tie vīri griezās no turienes un gāja uz Sodomu; bet Ābrahāms stāvēja vēl Tā Kunga priekšā.
23 Abraham came to him and asked: “Are you really going to wipe out the good people along with the wicked?
Un Ābrahāms piegāja un sacīja: vai Tu samaitāsi taisno ar bezdievīgo?
24 What if there are fifty good people in the town? Are you still going to wipe it out despite the fifty good people there?
Varbūt, ka piecdesmit taisni tai pilsētā, vai Tu tos samaitāsi un to vietu nežēlosi to piecdesmit taisno dēļ, kas viņu starpā?
25 No, you can't do something like that! You can't kill the good with the wicked, otherwise you would be treating the good and the wicked in the same way. You can't do that! Isn't the Judge of all the earth going to do the right thing?”
Ne mūžam Tu tā nedarīsi, nonāvēdams taisno līdz ar bezdievīgo, ka taisnais būtu tā kā bezdievīgais; ne mūžam! - vai visas pasaules soģis nedarīs taisni?
26 “If I find fifty good people in Sodom, I'll spare the whole town because of them,” the Lord replied.
Tad Tas Kungs sacīja: ja Es Sodomas pilsētā atradīšu piecdesmit taisnus, tad Es žēlošu visu to vietu viņu labad.
27 “Since I've started, let me go on speaking to my Lord, even though I'm nothing but dust and ashes,” Abraham continued.
Un Ābrahāms atbildēja un sacīja: redzi jel, es esmu iedrošinājies ar To Kungu runāt, jebšu es esmu pīšļi un pelni.
28 “What if there are forty-five good people, just five less? Are you still going to wipe out the whole town just because there are five fewer people?” “I won't destroy it if I find forty-five,” the Lord replied.
Ja tur piecu trūktu no tiem piecdesmit taisniem, vai šo piecu dēļ Tu samaitātu visu to pilsētu? Un Viņš sacīja: Es to nesamaitāšu, ja tur atradīšu četrdesmit un piecus.
29 Abraham spoke up again and he asked the Lord, “What if only forty can be found?” “I won't do it for the sake of the forty,” the Lord replied.
Tad tas joprojām runāja uz Viņu un sacīja: ja tur atrastos četrdesmit? Un Viņš sacīja: Es nekā nedarīšu to četrdesmit labad.
30 “My Lord, please don't get angry with me,” Abraham went on. “Let me ask this—what if only thirty were found?” “I won't do it if I find thirty,” the Lord replied.
Un tas sacīja: neapskaities, Kungs, lūdzams, ka es vēl runāju: ja tur atrastos trīsdesmit? Un Viņš sacīja: Es to nedarīšu, ja atradīšu trīsdesmit.
31 “I admit I've been very bold to speak to my Lord like this,” Abraham said. “What if only twenty are found there?” “I won't do it for the sake of the twenty,” the Lord replied.
Un tas sacīja: redzi jel, es esmu iedrošinājies uz To Kungu runāt: ja tur atrastos divdesmit? Un Viņš sacīja: Es nesamaitāšu to divdesmit labad.
32 “Please don't get angry with me, my Lord,” Abraham said. “Just let me ask one more thing. What if only ten are found there?” “I won't destroy it for the sake of the ten,” the Lord replied.
Un tas sacīja: neapskaities, Kungs, lūdzams, ka es vēl vienreiz runāju, - ja tur atrastos desmit? Un Viņš sacīja: Es nesamaitāšu to desmit labad.
33 The Lord left once he had finished speaking with Abraham, and Abraham went home.
Tad Tas Kungs aizgāja, kad bija beidzis uz Ābrahāmu runāt, un Ābrahāms griezās atpakaļ uz savu vietu.
