< 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.
Lao esa, Abraham leo deka no hau ineꞌ ra sia Mamre, LAMATUALAIN natudꞌu Ao na neu e sia naa. Dudꞌui na taꞌo ia: Faiꞌ naa, mafeoꞌ a seli, de Abraham endoꞌ haꞌi anin mia lalaat mataꞌ.
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.
Ana botiꞌ mata na ma, nita atahori telu rambariiꞌ sia naa. Boe ma, ana nelaꞌ soru se, de sendeꞌ lululangga na,
3 And he said, Lord, if I haue now founde fauour in thy sight, goe not, I pray thee, from thy seruant.
nae, “Ama nggare! Mete ma bisa na, amaꞌ se tuli au lalaat ngga dei. Onaꞌ mae minu akaꞌ a oe hieꞌ o, malole.
4 Let a litle water, I pray you, be brought, and wash your feete, and rest your selues vnder the tree.
Amaꞌ se hahae sia hau mafoꞌ ia, dei fo au denu ana kara haꞌi oe fo safe ei mara.
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.
Ma au uu sadꞌia nanaat fee amaꞌ se, fo maꞌadere baliꞌ, fo feꞌe lao mikindoo na. Au umuhoꞌo bisa uhao amaꞌ se.” Ara rataa rae, “Malole. Makasi. Hai tuli.”
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.
Abraham nelaꞌ nisiꞌ lalaat, de nafadꞌe Sara nae, “Lailai! Haꞌi mala tarigu maloleꞌ sak esa, fo tao roti.”
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.
Basa ma nelaꞌ nisiꞌ sapi nara, de paꞌa nala sapi ana mbarunaꞌ esa, ma denu ate na tati, de tunu-nasu e.
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.
Boe ma ana neu haꞌi susu, keju, ma sisi naa, de nendi fee fuiꞌ ra. Ara raa ma, ana nambariiꞌ sia hau huu na, de mete-seꞌu se.
9 Then they saide to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he answered, Beholde, she is in the tent.
Boe ma ara ratane rae, “Abraham! Sao ma Sara, sia bee? Ana nataa nae, “Sia lalaat rala.”
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.
Boe ma esa mia teluꞌ se olaꞌ nae, “To mana nemaꞌ ia, Au baliꞌ. Leleꞌ naa, sao ma Sara bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa ena.” Ara olaꞌ taꞌo naa ma, Sara rena mia lelesu a seriꞌ.
11 (Nowe Abraham and Sarah were old and striken in age, and it ceased to be with Sarah after the maner of women)
Leleꞌ naa, Abraham no Sara lasiꞌ ena, ma Sara o nda afiꞌ hambu fula na sa ena.
12 Therefore Sarah laughed within her selfe, saying, After I am waxed olde, and my lord also, shall I haue lust?
Ana rena ara olaꞌ taꞌo naa ma, ana mali sia rala na, ma duꞌa nae, “Awe! Umulasi helaꞌ a rui ngga onaꞌ ia, ma sao ngga o mana masaloeꞌ ena. Naa taꞌo bee hai feꞌe hii dadꞌi masao feuꞌ, fo sangga anaꞌ fai?”
13 And ye Lord saide vnto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah thus laugh, saying, Shall I certainely beare a childe, which am olde?
Basa de LAMATUALAIN natane Abraham nae, “Taꞌo bee de Sara mali? Ana duꞌa nae saa fo Au olaꞌ ia, nda dadꞌi sa, huu eni lasiꞌ ena, do?
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.)
Au ia, LAMATUALAIN! Nda hambu saa fo Au nda tao alaꞌ sa! Misinedꞌa malolole, e! Mete ma Au baliꞌ too mana nemaꞌ ia, Sara bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa ena.”
15 But Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not: for she was afraide. And he said, It is not so: for thou laughedst.
Sara rena taꞌo naa ma, namatau. De ana nafanii nae, “Au nda mali sa ma!” Te Lamatualain nataa nae, “Ho mali tebꞌe ma!”
16 Afterwarde the men did rise vp from thence and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
Basa ma, fuiꞌ ka teluꞌ ra rae risiꞌ kamboꞌ Sodꞌom, de Abraham no se losa dalaꞌ taladꞌa na. Mia naa, ara bisa rita Sodꞌom.
17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I doe,
Basa ma LAMATUALAIN duꞌa sia rala na nae, “Au ae tao ulutu kambo Sodꞌom, te malole lenaꞌ, Au dui Abraham,
18 Seeing that Abraham shalbe in deede a great and a mightie nation, and all the nations of the earth shalbe blessed in him?
huu tititi-nonosi nara boe ramaheta, ma dadꞌi leo manaseliꞌ. Ma ana o dadꞌi papala-babꞌanggiꞌ soaꞌ neu basa leo sia raefafoꞌ a.
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.
Au here ala e, fo nanori ana nara ro atahori feaꞌ ra, fo tungga rakandoo LAMATUALAIN dala Na ma rasodꞌa no ndoo-tetuꞌ. Mete ma ara tao taꞌo naa, Au tao utetu hehelu-fufuli Ngga o Abraham.”
20 Then the Lord saide, Because the crie of Sodom and Gomorah is great, and because their sinne is exceeding grieuous,
Boe ma LAMATUALAIN nafadꞌe Abraham nae, “Taꞌo ia! Au rena atahori ra fale rala nara, huu atahori kambo Sodꞌom no Gomora deꞌulaka nara, seli tebꞌe ena.
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.
Naa de, Au onda, fo ita no mata Ngga, basa saa fo Au renaꞌ a, tebꞌe, do, hokoꞌ. Mete ma hokoꞌ, Au musi bubꞌuluꞌ.”
22 And the men turned thence and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stoode yet before the Lord.
LAMATUALAIN feꞌe olaꞌ no Abraham ma, fuiꞌ ka ruaꞌ ra laoꞌ rakandoo risiꞌ Sodꞌom.
23 Then Abraham drewe neere, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
Abraham neu deka-deka no Lamatualain, de kokoe nae, “Taꞌo bee? Amaꞌ nae tao nalutu atahori maloleꞌ ro atahori deꞌulakaꞌ lao esaꞌ, do?
24 If there be fiftie righteous within the citie, wilt thou destroy and not spare the place for the fiftie righteous that are therein?
Mete ma hambu atahori maloleꞌ lima nulu sia kamboꞌ naa, Amaꞌ feꞌe mae tao mulutu basa atahori ra, do? Do, Amaꞌ nda tao mulutu kamboꞌ naa sa, huu sira?
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?
Amaꞌ afiꞌ tao taꞌo naa! Afiꞌ losa atahori maloleꞌ ra o mate boe, huu Amaꞌ nae nalutu atahori deꞌulakaꞌ ra. Amaꞌ dadꞌi mana maꞌetuꞌ sia lalai no raefafoꞌ ia. Amaꞌ o bubꞌuluꞌ naa nda matetuꞌ sa.”
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.
LAMATUALAIN nataa nae, “Mete ma Au hambu atahori maloleꞌ lima nulu sia Sodꞌom, Au nda hukun kamboꞌ naa sa, huu sira.”
27 Then Abraham answered and said, Behold nowe, I haue begun to speake vnto my Lord, and I am but dust and ashes.
Boe ma Abraham olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Amaꞌ, oꞌe ambon, au ae olaꞌ mbei fai. Au ia, atahori nggoaꞌ, nda uhine saa-saa saꞌ boe.
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.
Onaꞌ nda hambu atahori maloleꞌ losa lima nulu sa, te akaꞌ a haa nulu lima, naa taꞌo bee? Mete ma kuran atahori lima, naa Amaꞌ feꞌe mae tao mulutu kamboꞌ naa, do?” Lamatualain nataa nae, “Mete ma Au hambu atahori maloleꞌ haa nulu lima sia naa, Au nda tao ulutu e sa.”
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.
Abraham feꞌe kokoe seluꞌ nae, “Mete ma hambu akaꞌ a atahori haa nulu, naa taꞌo bee, Amaꞌ?” Nataa nae, “Mete ma hambu atahori haa nulu, Au nda hukun se sa.”
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.
Abraham kokoe nakandooꞌ a nae, “Amaꞌ afiꞌ mumunasa, te mete ma akaꞌ a atahori maloleꞌ telu nulu a, naa taꞌo bee?” Nataa nae, “Mete ma hambu telu nulu, Au nda hukun se sa.”
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.
Basa ma Abraham naloe seluꞌ nae, “Amaꞌ afiꞌ mumunasa, te au utane seluꞌ mbei fai. Mete ma akaꞌ a atahori rua nulu, naa taꞌo bee?” Nataa nae, “Mete ma hambu atahori rua nulu, Au nda tao ulutu kamboꞌ naa sa.”
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.
Boe ma Abraham tatana oꞌola na nae, “Amaꞌ! Au olaꞌ lao esa fai, te afiꞌ mumunasa au, o! Mete ma akaꞌ a atahori maloleꞌ sanahulu a, naa taꞌo bee?” Nataa nae, “Mete ma hambu atahori maloleꞌ sanahulu sia naa, Au nda tao ulutu kamboꞌ naa sa.”
33 And the Lord went his way when he had left communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned vnto his place.
LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ basa ma, Ana lao nakandoo. Boe ma, Abraham baliꞌ.
