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.
Yawe abimelaki Abrayami pene ya banzete minene ya Mamire, wana avandaki na ekotelo ya ndako na ye ya kapo, na moyi makasi ya midi.
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.
Tango Abrayami atombolaki miso, amonaki mibali misato pene na ye. Mpe tango kaka amonaki bango, atelemaki wuta na ndako na ye ya kapo mpe akendeki mbangu mpo na kokutana na bango; bongo agumbamaki kino na mabele.
3 And he said, Lord, if I haue now founde fauour in thy sight, goe not, I pray thee, from thy seruant.
Alobaki: — Nabondeli bino, bankolo na ngai, soki nazwi ngolu na miso bino, boleka mosali na bino te.
4 Let a litle water, I pray you, be brought, and wash your feete, and rest your selues vnder the tree.
Tika ete namemela bino mwa mayi mpo ete bokoka kosukola makolo mpe bopema na se ya nzete oyo.
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.
Tika ete namemela bino mwa eloko ya kolia mpo ete bozwa lisusu makasi na nzoto; bongo bokokoba mobembo na bino, pamba te ezali mpo na yango nde boleki epai na ngai mosali na bino. Bazongisaki: — Ezali malamu, sala ndenge olobi.
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.
Abrayami akotaki na lombangu na ndako na ye ya kapo mpe alobaki na Sara: « Kamata katini misato ya farine mpe sala bagato na lombangu. »
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.
Mpe Abrayami apotaki mbangu na lopango ya bibwele, azwaki mwana ngombe ya mafuta mpe apesaki yango na mosali na ye mpo ete alamba yango noki-noki.
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.
Azwaki mafuta ya ngombe, miliki mpe mosuni oyo alambaki, mpe atiaki yango liboso na bango. Abrayami atelemaki pembeni na bango, na se ya nzete, wana bazalaki kolia.
9 Then they saide to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he answered, Beholde, she is in the tent.
Sima, batunaki ye: — Wapi Sara, mwasi na yo? Abrayami azongisaki: — Azali na ndako.
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.
Bongo moko kati na bango alobaki: — Solo, na mobu oyo ezali koya, kaka na eleko oyo, nakozonga epai na yo, mpe Sara, mwasi na yo, akozala na mwana mobali. Nzokande, Sara ayokaki maloba wana na ekotelo ya ndako ya kapo, na sima ya Abrayami.
11 (Nowe Abraham and Sarah were old and striken in age, and it ceased to be with Sarah after the maner of women)
Abrayami mpe Sara bazalaki mibange, mpo ete bakomaki na mibu ebele penza mpe Sara azalaki lisusu na makoki te ya kobota.
12 Therefore Sarah laughed within her selfe, saying, After I am waxed olde, and my lord also, shall I haue lust?
Sara asekaki mpe amilobelaki: « Awa nasili konuna boye, nakoki lisusu koyoka posa ya mobali? Kutu nkolo na ngai akomi mpe mobange! »
13 And ye Lord saide vnto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah thus laugh, saying, Shall I certainely beare a childe, which am olde?
Yawe alobaki na Abrayami: — Mpo na nini Sara aseki mpe alobi: « Nakoki solo kobota mwana awa nasili kokoma mobange? »
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.)
Boni, ezali na eloko oyo Yawe akoki kolembana? Na mobu oyo ezali koya, na tango oyo ekatama, kaka na eleko oyo, nakozonga epai na yo, mpe Sara akozala na mwana mobali.
15 But Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not: for she was afraide. And he said, It is not so: for thou laughedst.
Sara abangaki; boye awanganaki: — Naseki te. Kasi Yawe alobaki: — Ezali ya solo, oseki.
16 Afterwarde the men did rise vp from thence and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
Tango mibali yango batelemaki mpo na kokoba mobembo na bango na Sodome, Abrayami akendeki kotika bango na nzela.
17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I doe,
Yawe amilobelaki: « Boni, nakoki solo kobombela Abrayami likambo oyo nalingi kosala?
18 Seeing that Abraham shalbe in deede a great and a mightie nation, and all the nations of the earth shalbe blessed in him?
Solo, Abrayami akokoma ekolo monene mpe ya nguya, mpe bato ya bikolo nyonso ya mabele bakomipambola mpo na ye.
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.
Pamba te naponaki ye mpo ete ateya bana na ye mpe ndako na ye sima na ye ete bayeba kobatela nzela ya Yawe na kozalaka na etamboli ya malamu mpe ya sembo; na bongo nde, Ngai Yawe, nakokokisela Abrayami elaka oyo napesaki ye. »
20 Then the Lord saide, Because the crie of Sodom and Gomorah is great, and because their sinne is exceeding grieuous,
Bongo Yawe alobaki: « Nayoki sango ete mabe ya bato ya Sodome mpe ya Gomore eleki ndelo, mpe masumu na bango eleki mingi penza.
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.
Nakokita mpo na kotala soki makambo oyo bazali kosala ekokani na oyo Ngai nayoki. Soki ezali bongo te, nakoyeba. »
22 And the men turned thence and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stoode yet before the Lord.
Mibali yango babalukaki mpe bakendeki na Sodome, kasi Abrayami atelemaki kaka liboso ya Yawe.
23 Then Abraham drewe neere, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
Bongo Abrayami apusanaki mpe alobaki: — Boni, Nkolo na ngai, okoboma penza elongo moto ya sembo mpe moto mabe?
24 If there be fiftie righteous within the citie, wilt thou destroy and not spare the place for the fiftie righteous that are therein?
Soki bato ya sembo bazali tuku mitano kati na engumba, okoboma bango kaka? Okolimbisa engumba yango te mpo na bato ya sembo tuku mitano oyo bazali kati na yango?
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?
Te, okoki kosala likambo ya boye te! Okoki te koboma elongo bato ya sembo mpe bato mabe, okoki kosala ndenge moko te na bato ya sembo mpe na bato mabe. Okoki kosala bongo te! Boni, Mosambisi ya mokili mobimba akosambisa na bosembo te?
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.
Yawe azongisaki: — Soki nakuti na Sodome bato ya sembo tuku mitano, nakolimbisa engumba mobimba mpo na bango.
27 Then Abraham answered and said, Behold nowe, I haue begun to speake vnto my Lord, and I am but dust and ashes.
Abrayami alobaki lisusu: — Solo, nazali na ngai moto pamba mpe putulu, kasi limbisa ete nameka kosolola na Nkolo na ngai.
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.
Bongo soki motango na bato ya sembo ezali tuku minei na mitano? Boni, okobebisa engumba mobimba mpo na bato mitano oyo bazangi? Yawe azongisaki: — Soki nakuti bato ya sembo tuku minei na mitano, nakobebisa yango te.
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.
Abrayami alobaki na Ye lisusu: — Bongo soki bato ya sembo bazali kaka tuku minei? Azongisaki: — Soki bazali kaka tuku minei, nakobebisa yango te.
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.
Bongo Abrayami alobaki: — Tika ete Nkolo na ngai asilika te soki nakobi koloba: Bongo soki bato ya sembo bazali kaka tuku misato? Azongisaki: — Soki nakuti bato ya sembo tuku misato, nakobebisa yango te.
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.
Abrayami alobaki: —Awa nameki kosolola na Nkolo, boni, okosala nini soki bato ya sembo bazali kaka tuku mibale? Azongisaki: — Mpo na bato ya sembo tuku mibale, nakobebisa engumba te.
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.
Bongo Abrayami alobaki: — Tika ete Nkolo na ngai asilika te, pamba te nazali koloba mpo na mbala ya suka: Bongo soki bato ya sembo bazali kaka zomi? Azongisaki: — Mpo na bato ya sembo zomi, nakobebisa engumba te.
33 And the Lord went his way when he had left communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned vnto his place.
Sima na Yawe kosolola na Abrayami, akendeki; mpe Abrayami azongaki na ndako na ye.
