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.
Olúwa sì farahan Abrahamu nítòsí àwọn igi ńlá Mamre, bí ó ti jókòó ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ rẹ̀, nígbà tí ọjọ́-kanrí tí oòrùn sì mú.
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.
Abrahamu gbójú sókè, ó sì rí àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́ta tí wọn dúró nítòsí rẹ̀. Nígbà tí ó rí wọn, ó sáré láti lọ pàdé wọn, ó sì tẹríba bí ó ti ń kí wọn.
3 He said, “Sir, if you please, don't continue your journey without spending some time here with me, your servant.
Ó wí pé, “Bí mo bá rí ojúrere yín Olúwa mi, ẹ má ṣe lọ láì yà sọ́dọ̀ ìránṣẹ́ yín.
4 Let me have some water brought so you can wash your feet and rest under the tree.
Ẹ jẹ́ kí a bu omi díẹ̀ wá kí ẹ̀yin kí ó wẹ ẹsẹ̀ yín, kí ẹ sì sinmi lábẹ́ igi níhìn-ín.
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.”
Ẹ jẹ́ kí n wá oúnjẹ wá fún un yín, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè jẹ, kí ara sì tù yín, kí ẹ si tẹ̀síwájú ní ọ̀nà yín, nígbà tí ẹ ti yà ní ọ̀dọ̀ ìránṣẹ́ yín.” Wọn sì wí pé “Ó dára.”
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.”
Abrahamu sì yára tọ Sara aya rẹ̀ lọ nínú àgọ́, ó wí pé, “Tètè mú òsùwọ̀n ìyẹ̀fun dáradára mẹ́ta kí o sì pò ó pọ̀, kí o sì ṣe oúnjẹ.”
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.
Abrahamu sì tún sáré lọ sí ibi agbo ẹran, ó sì mú ọmọ màlúù kan fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, ìránṣẹ́ náà sì tètè ṣè é.
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.
Ó sì mú wàrà àti mílíìkì àti màlúù tí ó ti pèsè, ó sì gbé síwájú wọn. Ó sì dúró nítòsí wọn lábẹ́ igi bí wọn ti ń jẹ ẹ́.
9 “Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked him. “Over there, inside the tent,” he replied.
Wọn béèrè pé, “Sara aya rẹ ń kọ́?” Ó dáhùn pé, “Ó wà nínú àgọ́.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí fún un pé, “Èmi yóò sì tún padà tọ̀ ọ́ wá nítòótọ́ ní ìwòyí àmọ́dún; Sara aya rẹ yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan.” Sara sì ń dẹtí gbọ́ láti ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ tí ó wà lẹ́yìn ọkùnrin náà.
11 Abraham and Sarah were old, getting on in years. Sarah was well past the age of having children.
Abrahamu àti Sara sì ti di arúgbó, Sara sì ti kọjá àsìkò ìbímọ.
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!”
Nítorí náà, Sara rẹ́rìn-ín nínú ara rẹ̀ bí ó ti ń rò ó lọ́kàn rẹ̀ pé, “Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí mo ti di arúgbó tán tí olúwa mi pẹ̀lú sì ti gbó jọ̀kújọ̀kú, èmi yóò ha tún lè bímọ?”
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?’
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí fún Abrahamu pé, “Kín ló dé tí Sara fi rẹ́rìn-ín tí ó sì wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò ha bímọ nítòótọ́, nígbà tí mo di ẹni ogbó tán?’
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.”
Ǹjẹ́ ohunkóhun wà tí ó ṣòro jù fún Olúwa? Èmi ó padà tọ̀ ọ́ wá ní ìwòyí àmọ́dún, Sara yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin.”
15 Sarah denied it because she was afraid, claiming, “I didn't laugh.” “Yes, you did laugh,” the Lord replied.
Ẹ̀rù sì ba Sara, ó sì sẹ́ pé òun kò rẹ́rìn-ín. Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa wí fún un pé, “Dájúdájú ìwọ rẹ́rìn-ín.”
16 Then the men left. They looked down on Sodom and headed in that direction. Abraham accompanied them part of the way.
Nígbà tí àwọn ọkùnrin náà dìde láti máa lọ, wọn kọjú sí ọ̀nà Sodomu, Abrahamu sì sìn wọ́n dé ọ̀nà.
17 Then the Lord said, “Should I keep from Abraham what I'm going to do?
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ èmi yóò ha pa ohun tí mo fẹ́ ṣe mọ́ fún Abrahamu bí?
18 Abraham will definitely become a great and powerful nation, and all the nations on earth will be blessed through him.
Dájúdájú Abrahamu yóò sá à di orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá àti alágbára, àti gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ayé ni a ó bùkún fún nípasẹ̀ rẹ̀.
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.”
Nítorí tí èmi ti yàn án láti kọ́ àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ àti àwọn ará ilé rẹ̀ lẹ́yìn rẹ̀, láti máa pa ọ̀nà Olúwa mọ nípa ṣíṣe olóòtítọ́ àti olódodo: kí Olúwa le è mú ìlérí rẹ̀ fún Abrahamu ṣẹ.”
20 Then the Lord said, “There are many complaints made against Sodom and Gomorrah because they sin so blatantly.
Olúwa sì wí pé, igbe Sodomu àti Gomorra pọ̀ púpọ̀ àti pé ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn burú jọjọ.
21 I ‘m going to see if these complaints that have reached me are completely true. I'll know if they're not.”
“Èmi yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀ síbẹ̀ láti ṣe ìwádìí igbe tí ó dé sí etí ìgbọ́ mi nípa wọn, kí èmi sì mọ òtítọ́ tí ó wà níbẹ̀.”
22 The two men turned and went towards Sodom, but the Lord stayed there with Abraham.
Àwọn ọkùnrin náà yí padà, wọ́n sì ń lọ sí ìhà Sodomu. Ṣùgbọ́n Abrahamu dúró níbẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa.
23 Abraham came to him and asked: “Are you really going to wipe out the good people along with the wicked?
Nígbà náà ni Abrahamu súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa, ó sì wí pé, “Ìwọ yóò ha pa olódodo ènìyàn àti ènìyàn búburú run papọ̀ bí?”
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?
“Bí ó bá ṣe pé ìwọ rí àádọ́ta olódodo nínú ìlú náà, ìwọ yóò ha run ún, ìwọ kì yóò ha dá ìlú náà sí nítorí àwọn àádọ́ta olódodo tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀ náà?
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?”
Kò jẹ́ rí bẹ́ẹ̀! Dájúdájú ìwọ kì yóò ṣe ohun tí ó jọ bẹ́ẹ̀, láti pa olódodo pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn rere àti àwọn ènìyàn búburú. Dájúdájú, ìwọ kì yóò ṣe èyí tí ó tọ́ bi?”
26 “If I find fifty good people in Sodom, I'll spare the whole town because of them,” the Lord replied.
Olúwa wí pé, “Bí mo bá rí àádọ́ta olódodo ní ìlú Sodomu, èmi yóò dá ìlú náà sí nítorí tiwọn.”
27 “Since I've started, let me go on speaking to my Lord, even though I'm nothing but dust and ashes,” Abraham continued.
Abrahamu sì tún tẹ̀síwájú pé, “Wò ó nísinsin yìí, níwọ̀n bí èmi ti ní ìgboyà láti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí sọ̀rọ̀ níwájú Olúwa, èmi ẹni tí í ṣe erùpẹ̀ àti eérú,
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.
bí ó bá ṣe pe olódodo márùndínláàádọ́ta ni ó wà nínú ìlú, ìwọ yóò ha pa ìlú náà run nítorí ènìyàn márùn-ún bí?” Olúwa dáhùn pé, “Èmi kì yóò pa ìlú náà run bí mo bá rí olódodo márùndínláàádọ́ta nínú rẹ̀.”
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.
Òun sì tún wí lẹ́ẹ̀kan si pé, “Bí ó bá ṣe pé ogójì ni ń kọ́?” Olúwa sì tún wí pé, “Èmi kì yóò pa ìlú náà run bí mo bá rí olódodo ogójì nínú rẹ̀.”
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.
Abrahamu sì tún bẹ Olúwa pé, “Kí Olúwa má ṣe bínú, ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò sọ̀rọ̀. Bí ó bá ṣe pé ọgbọ̀n ni a rí níbẹ̀ ń kọ́?” Olúwa dáhùn pé, “Bí mó bá rí ọgbọ̀n, èmi kì yóò pa ìlú run.”
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.
Abrahamu wí pé, “Níwọ́n bí mo ti ní ìgboyà láti bá Olúwa sọ̀rọ̀ báyìí, jẹ́ kí n tẹ̀síwájú. Bí o bá ṣe pé olódodo ogún péré ni ó wà nínú ìlú náà ń kọ́?” Olúwa sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi kì yóò pa á run nítorí ogún ènìyàn náà.”
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.
Abrahamu sì wí pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ má ṣe bínú Olúwa. Jẹ́ kí ń béèrè lẹ́ẹ̀kan si. Bí ó bá ṣe pé ènìyàn mẹ́wàá ni ó jẹ́ olódodo ń kọ́?” Olúwa wí pé, “Nítorí ènìyàn mẹ́wàá náà, èmi kì yóò pa á run.”
33 The Lord left once he had finished speaking with Abraham, and Abraham went home.
Olúwa sì bá tirẹ̀ lọ, nígbà tí ó bá Abrahamu sọ̀rọ̀ tán, Abrahamu sì padà sílé.
