Genesis 18
1 Againe the Lord appeared vnto him in the plaine of Mamre, as he sate in his tent doore about the heate of the day.
Abraham te khothaih khobae vaengah Mamre thingnu rhoek kaepkah dap thohka ah ngol dae anih taengla BOEIPA a phoe pah.
2 And he lift vp his eyes, and looked: and lo, three men stoode by him, and when he sawe them, he ranne to meete them from the tent doore, and bowed himselfe to the grounde.
Te dongah a mik a huel tih a sawt hatah a taengah hlang pathum a pai te lawt a hmuh. Te dongah amih te doe ham dap thohka lamkah yong tih diklai la bakop.
3 And he said, Lord, if I haue now founde fauour in thy sight, goe not, I pray thee, from thy seruant.
Te phoeiah, “Ka Boeipa na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ni ka dang mai atah na sal taeng lamkah he khumpael mai boeh.
4 Let a litle water, I pray you, be brought, and wash your feete, and rest your selues vnder the tree.
Tui bet han khuen mai saeh lamtah na kho silh uh mai. Te dongah thing hmuiah ana hangdang uh mai dae.
5 And I will bring a morsell of bread, that you may comfort your hearts, afterward ye shall go your wayes: for therefore are ye come to your seruant. And they said, Do euen as thou hast said.
Tedae na sal taengah na pawk rhoi to vaengah buh kamat khaw ka loh dae vetih na lungbuei a duel phoeiah na cet rhoi mako,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Na thui bangla na saii pai,” a ti rhoi.
6 Then Abraham made haste into the tent vnto Sarah, and saide, Make ready at once three measures of fine meale: kneade it, and make cakes vpon the hearth.
Te dongah Abraham te Sarah taengah dap khuila koe kun tih, “Vaidam buh sum thum te a loe la nook lamtah buh thong laeh” a ti nah.
7 And Abraham ranne to the beastes, and tooke a tender and good calfe, and gaue it to the seruant, who hasted to make it ready.
Te phoeiah Abraham te saelhung taengla yong tih vaito ca a mongkawt neh a then te a loh. Te phoeiah cadong taengah a paek tih a loe la a saii sak.
8 And he tooke butter and milke, and the calfe, which he had prepared, and set before them, and stoode himselfe by them vnder the tree, and they did eate.
Te phoeiah suknaeng neh suktui khaw, vaito ca a hmoel te khaw han khuen tih amih hmai ah a tawn pah. Tedae a caak uh vaengah amah te amih taengkah thing hmuiah pai.
9 Then they saide to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he answered, Beholde, she is in the tent.
Te vaengah, “Na yuu Sarah ta?,” a ti na uh hatah, “Dap khuiah om ke,” a ti nah.
10 And he saide, I will certainely come againe vnto thee according to ye time of life: and loe, Sarah thy wife shall haue a sonne. and Sarah heard in the tent doore, which was behinde him.
Te phoeiah, “Lomai tue ah nang taengla ka lo rhoe ka lo ni. Te vaengah na yuu Sarah te camoe om pawn ni te,” a ti nah. Te vaengah dap thohka kah anih hnukah aka om Sarah loh a hnatun van.
11 (Nowe Abraham and Sarah were old and striken in age, and it ceased to be with Sarah after the maner of women)
Tedae Abraham neh Sarah kah a kum patong la om rhoi coeng. Huta vanbangla Sarah taengkah khosing om ham khaw bawt coeng.
12 Therefore Sarah laughed within her selfe, saying, After I am waxed olde, and my lord also, shall I haue lust?
Te dongah Sarah loh amah ko khuiah, “Kai taengah omthennah a om ham ka hal tih ka boeipa khaw patong coeng,” a ti tih nuei.
13 And ye Lord saide vnto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah thus laugh, saying, Shall I certainely beare a childe, which am olde?
Tedae BOEIPA loh Abraham taengah, “Balae tih Sarah loh, 'Kai patong khaw ca ka cun tang venim,’ a ti tih, a nueih he.
14 (Shall any thing be hard to the Lord? at the time appointed will I returne vnto thee, euen according to the time of life, and Sarah shall haue a sonne.)
Hno pakhat he BOEIPA ham rhaisang a? Lomai tue kah khoning vaengah nang taengla ka mael ni. Te vaengah Sarah taengah capa om ni?” a ti nah.
15 But Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not: for she was afraide. And he said, It is not so: for thou laughedst.
Tedae Sarah loh a rhih dongah, “Ka nuei pawh,” a ti tih a basa dae, “Pawh na nueih lalah,” a ti nah.
16 Afterwarde the men did rise vp from thence and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
Te daengah hlang rhoek loh thoo uh tih Sodom ben la a dan uh hatah amih aka thak ham Abraham khaw amih taengah cet.
17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I doe,
Tedae BOEIPA loh, “Kai loh ka saii te Abraham taengah ka phah a?,” a ti.
18 Seeing that Abraham shalbe in deede a great and a mightie nation, and all the nations of the earth shalbe blessed in him?
Abraham khaw namtu len neh pilnu la om rhoe om ni. Anih lamloh diklai namtom boeih a yoethen ni.
19 For I knowe him that he will commande his sonnes and his houshold after him, that they keepe the way of the Lord, to doe righteousnesse and iudgement, that the Lord may bring vpon Abraham that he hath spoken vnto him.
Anih ka ming daengah ni anih phoeikah a ca rhoek neh a imkhui te a uen vetih duengnah neh tiktamnah saii ham BOEIPA kah longpuei a ngaithuen uh eh. Te daengah ni BOEIPA loh Abraham ham a taengah a thui pah te a thoeng eh.
20 Then the Lord saide, Because the crie of Sodom and Gomorah is great, and because their sinne is exceeding grieuous,
Tedae BOEIPA loh Sodom neh Gomorrah a doek vaengah amih kah tholhnah khaw pungtai tih bahoeng nah coeng.
21 I will goe downe nowe, and see whether they haue done altogether according to that crie which is come vnto me: and if not, that I may knowe.
Ka suntla laeh vetih a pangngawlnah te ka hmuh mako. Kai taengla aka pawk te boeih a saii uh neh a saii uh pawt khaw ka ming mako,” a ti.
22 And the men turned thence and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stoode yet before the Lord.
Te dongah hlang rhoek loh te lamkah hooi uh tih Sodom la a caeh uh vaengah Abraham tah BOEIPA hmai kah pai pueng.
23 Then Abraham drewe neere, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
Te phoeiah Abraham te thoeih tih, “Hlang dueng neh halang te na khoengvoep sak tang aya?
24 If there be fiftie righteous within the citie, wilt thou destroy and not spare the place for the fiftie righteous that are therein?
Kho khui ah aka dueng sawmnga om khaming, na khoengvoep kuekluek aya? Amih khui kah hlang dueng sawmnga ham hmuen te na hlun mahpawt a?
25 Be it farre from thee from doing this thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be euen as the wicked, be it farre from thee. shall not the Iudge of all the worlde doe right?
Halang taengah aka dueng duek sak ham hno he saii ham tah nang lamloh savisava. A dueng la, halang la a om khaw, nang lamloh savisava saeh. Diklai pum lai aka tloek loh tiktamnah saii mahpawt nim?,” a ti nah.
26 And the Lord answered, If I shall finde in Sodom fiftie righteous within the citie, then will I spare all the place for their sakes.
Tedae BOEIPA loh, “Sodom ah sawmnga ka hmuh tih khopuei khui ah hlang dueng om koinih amih kong ah hmuen takuem la ka khuen ni,” a ti nah.
27 Then Abraham answered and said, Behold nowe, I haue begun to speake vnto my Lord, and I am but dust and ashes.
Tedae Abraham loh a doo tih, “Kai he laipi neh hmaiphu la ka om dae Boeipa taengah cal ham ka mulmet coeng he.
28 If there shall lacke fiue of fiftie righteous, wilt thou destroy all the citie for fiue? And he saide, If I finde there fiue and fourtie, I will not destroy it.
Aka dueng sawmnga te panga loh a vaitah khaming, panga kongah khopuei pum te na phae aya?” a ti nah hatah, “Sawmli panga te ka hmuh koinih ka phae mahpawh,” a ti nah.
29 And he yet spake to him againe, and saide, What if there shalbe found fourtie there? Then he answered, I will not doe it for fourties sake.
Tedae anih te voek hamla koep a koei tih, “Likip te a hmuh uh khaming,” a ti nah vaengah, “Likip kong ah ka saii mahpawh,” a ti nah.
30 Againe he said, Let not my Lord nowe be angry, that I speake, What if thirtie be founde there? Then he saide, I will not doe it, if I finde thirtie there.
Te phoeiah, “Boeipa, saii boel mai lamtah ka thui mai eh. Sawmthum khaw a hmuh uh khaming,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Sawmthum te ka hmu koinih ka saii mahpawh,” a ti nah.
31 Moreouer he said, Behold, now I haue begonne to speake vnto my Lord, What if twentie be founde there? And he answered, I will not destroy it for twenties sake.
Tedae Abaraham loh, “Boeipa taengah cal ham ka mulmet coeng he. Teah te pakul khaw a hmuh uh khaming,” a ti nah vaengah pakul kong ah ka phae mahpawh,” a ti nah.
32 Then he saide, Let not my Lord be nowe angrie, and I will speake but this once, What if tenne be found there? And he answered, I will not destroy it for tennes sake.
Te phoeiah khaw, “Sai boel mai dae Boeipa vai bueng mah ka thui mai eh. Hlang rha khaw a hmu uh khaming,” a ti nah vaengah, “Hlang rha kong ah ka phae mahpawh,” a ti nah.
33 And the Lord went his way when he had left communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned vnto his place.
BOEIPA loh Abraham neh cal ham te a khah van neh vik nong tih Abraham khaw amah hmuen la bal.
