< Genesis 18 >
1 And the LORD appeared unto him by the terebinths of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Ibrahim machiegni kod yiende madongo mag Mamre kane obet e dho hembe kar odiechiengʼ tir.
2 and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood over against him; and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed down to the earth,
Ibrahim notingʼo wangʼe malo kendo noneno ji adek machwo kochungʼ bute. Kane onenogi, noringo matek koa e dho hema mondo oromnegi kendo nopodho piny auma e nyimgi.
3 and said: 'My lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.
Nowacho niya, “Ruodha ka ayudo ngʼwono e wangʼi, to kik ikadh jatichni.
4 Let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and recline yourselves under the tree.
Rituru mondo okel pi matin, mondo uluokgo tiendu eka uywe e tiend yien-ni.
5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and stay ye your heart; after that ye shall pass on; forasmuch as ye are come to your servant.' And they said: 'So do, as thou hast said.'
We ayudnue chiemo moro matin mondo ucham omednu teko eka udhi nyime gi wuodhu mosekelou ir misumbauni.” Negidwoke niya, “Mano ber, tim kamano.”
6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said: 'Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.'
Omiyo Ibrahim noreto kadhi ir Sara ei hema mowachone niya, “Kaw mogo mayom gorogoro adek, idwale kendo itedgo makati piyo piyo.”
7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto the servant; and he hastened to dress it.
Eka noringo odhi e dipo kendo noyiero nyarwath mopugno kendo nomiyo jatich molose piyo.
8 And he took curd, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.
Eka Ibrahim nokawo mo gi chak mar adila kod ring nyarwath mane osetedi maber mi oketogi e nyimgi. Kane gichiemo, Ibrahim nochungʼ butgi e tiend yath.
9 And they said unto him: 'Where is Sarah thy wife?' And he said: 'Behold, in the tent.'
Negipenjo Ibrahim niya, “Ere Sara chiegi?” Ibrahim nodwokogi niya, “En ei hema.”
10 And He said: 'I will certainly return unto thee when the season cometh round; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son.' And Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him. —
Eka achiel kuomgi nowacho niya, “Adier anaduog iri e kinde maka ma higa mabiro kendo Sara chiegi biro nywolo nyathi ma wuowi.” To kara Sara ne winjo wachno kobet e dho hema e ngʼe welogo.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, and well stricken in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. —
Ibrahim kod Sara nosebedo moti kendo hikgi noniangʼ kendo ndalo Sara mag nywol nosekadho.
12 And Sarah laughed within herself, saying: 'After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?'
Omiyo Sara nohum kanyiero gie chunye niya, “Bende ma ditimre adier ka an kod ruodha wasedoko joma oti ka ma?”
13 And the LORD said unto Abraham: 'Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying: Shall I of a surety bear a child, who am old?
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nopenjo Ibrahim niya, “Angʼo momiyo Sara nonyiero kawacho ni, ‘Bende danywol nyathi kaka asetini?’
14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD. At the set time I will return unto thee, when the season cometh round, and Sarah shall have a son.'
Bende nitie gimoro amora matek ne Jehova Nyasaye? Abiro duogo iri e kinde mowinjore e higa mabiro kendo Sara biro nywolo nyathi ma wuowi.”
15 Then Sarah denied, saying: 'I laughed not'; for she was afraid. And He said: 'Nay; but thou didst laugh.'
Omiyo Sara noluor mokwer niya, “Ne ok anyiero.” To kata kamano Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “En adier ni ninyiero.”
16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked out toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
Kane jogo owuok mondo odhi, Ibrahim nowuok kodgi ka kowogi ka gichomo Sodom.
17 And the LORD said: 'Shall I hide from Abraham that which I am doing;
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Bende dapand ne Ibrahim gima adwaro timo?
18 seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Adieri Ibrahim biro bedo oganda maduongʼ kendo maratego, kendo ogendini duto manie piny nogwedhi nikech en.
19 For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which He hath spoken of him.'
Nimar aseyiere mondo ochik nyithinde kod nyikwaye mondo oluw yore Jehova Nyasaye ka gitimo timbe mabeyo kendo makare. Kamano Jehova Nyasaye biro timo ne Ibrahim gik moko duto mane osingone.”
20 And the LORD said: 'Verily, the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and, verily, their sin is exceeding grievous.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Ywak mi ywaknego Sodom gi Gomora duongʼ kendo richogi ngʼeny,
21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto Me; and if not, I will know.'
kuom mano abiro dhi mondo ane ka gik magisetimo richo kaka ywak osechopo ira, eka abiro ngʼeyo adiera.”
22 And the men turned from thence, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
Jogo nowuok kendo negiluwo yo madhi Sodom, to Jehova Nyasaye nodongʼ kochungʼ e nyim Ibrahim.
23 And Abraham drew near, and said: 'Wilt Thou indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
Eka Ibrahim nosudo machiegni kode kendo openjo niya, “Bende ditiek joma kare machal gi joma timbegi richo?
24 Peradventure there are fifty righteous within the city; wilt Thou indeed sweep away and not forgive the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
Kaponi nitie ji piero abich maonge ketho e dalano? Dikethe koso diweye nikech ngima ji makare piero abichgo?
25 That be far from Thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked; that be far from Thee; shall not the judge of all the earth do justly?'
Ok dineg joma onge ketho machal gi joma oketho, adier ok inyal timo kamano nikech kaponi itimo kamano to joma onge ketho diyud kum mana maromre gi joma nigi ketho. To mano ok nyalre nikech jangʼad bura nyaka ngʼad bura kare?”
26 And the LORD said: 'If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will forgive all the place for their sake.'
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Ka ayudo ji piero abich maonge ketho e dala mar Sodom, to abiro reso dalano nikech joma onge kethogo.”
27 And Abraham answered and said: 'Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, who am but dust and ashes.
Eka Ibrahim nowacho kendo niya, “Kaka koro asebedo gichir ma awuoyo gi Ruoth Nyasaye, kata obedo ni ok an gimoro to makmana lowo kod buru.
28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous; wilt Thou destroy all the city for lack of five?' And He said: 'I will not destroy it, if I find there forty and five.'
To ka dipo ni kwan joma onge ketho oromo mana ji piero angʼwen gabich, dikech dalano nikech ji abich kende?” Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Kayudo ji piero angʼwen gabich kanyo, to ok nakethe.”
29 And he spoke unto Him yet again, and said: 'Peradventure there shall be forty found there.' And He said: 'I will not do it for the forty's sake.'
Ibrahim nomedo wuoyo kode kendo niya, “To ka dipo ni ji piero angʼwen kende ema oyudore kanyo?” Ruoth Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Kayudo ji piero angʼwen kanyo, to ok nakethe.”
30 And he said: 'Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Peradventure there shall thirty be found there.' And He said: 'I will not do it, if I find thirty there.'
Eka Ibrahim nomedo wachone niya, “Kik isin koda, to weya aweya awuo. To ka dipo ni ji piero adek ema oyudi e dalano?” Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Ok nakethi ka ayudo ji piero adek maonge ketho kanyo.”
31 And he said: 'Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord. Peradventure there shall be twenty found there.' And He said: 'I will not destroy it for the twenty's sake.'
Ibrahim nowacho niya, “Kaka koro asebedo gi chir ma wuoyo gi Ruoth Nyasaye, angʼoma ditim ka ji piero ariyo ema oyudore e dalano?” Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Nikech ji piero ariyo maonge ketho ok anakethe.”
32 And he said: 'Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once. Peradventure ten shall be found there.' And He said: 'I will not destroy it for the ten's sake.'
Eka Ibrahim nowacho niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye kik sin koda, to oyie awach wach achiel mogik. Ka dipo ni ji apar kende ema oyudi e dalano?” Ruoth Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Nikech ji apar maonge ketho ok natiek dalano.”
33 And the LORD went His way, as soon as He had left off speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned unto his place.
Kane Jehova Nyasaye osetieko wuoyo kod Ibrahim, nowuok kendo Ibrahim nodok dala.
