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;
Seyè a parèt devan Abraram bò pye bwadchenn Manmre yo. Abraram te chita nan papòt kay li, lè ki te fè pi cho nan lajounen an.
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,
Abraram leve je l', li rete konsa li wè twa mesye kanpe devan li toupre pyebwa yo. Wè li wè yo, li leve nan papòt la, li kouri al jwenn yo, li bese tèt li jouk atè pou l' di yo bonjou.
3 and said: 'My lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.
Li di. Mèt, tanpri. Pa pase devan lakay mwen san ou pa fè yon ti rete. Se sèvitè ou mwen ye.
4 Let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and recline yourselves under the tree.
Kite m' mande yo pote ti gout dlo pou lave pye ou. Lèfini, w'a pran yon ti repo anba pyebwa sa a.
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.'
'a pote yon ti manje pou ou soutni kè ou pou ou reprann fòs pou ou ka kontinye vwayaj ou. Ou rive lakay mwen, mwen la pou m' sèvi ou. Yo reponn li: -Dakò. Ou mèt fè jan ou di a.
6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said: 'Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.'
Abraram kouri lakay li, li ale jwenn Sara. Li di l' konsa. Fè vit. Pran trant liv farin bon kalite, mouye l', fè pen.
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.
Apre sa, Abraram kouri al nan bann bèt li yo, li pran yon jenn ti bèf byen gra, li bay yonn nan domestik li yo li pou li prese al kòche l'.
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.
Apre sa, li pran fwomaj, li pran lèt fre, li mete yo ansanm ak vyann yo te pare a, li sèvi mesye yo. Pandan yo t'ap manje, Abraram te kanpe bò kote yo anba pyebwa a.
9 And they said unto him: 'Where is Sarah thy wife?' And he said: 'Behold, in the tent.'
Lèfini, yo mande l'. Kote Sara, madanm ou? Li reponn. Li la wi, anndan kay la.
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. —
Yonn nan vizitè yo di l'. Mwen gen pou m' tounen isit la, lè konsa lanne k'ap vini an. Lè sa a, Sara, madanm ou, ap gen tan gen yon pitit gason. Sara menm te kanpe nan papòt la dèyè Abraram, li t'ap koute.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, and well stricken in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. —
Abraram ak Sara te fin vye granmoun. Yo te antre nan laj. Sara te sispann gen lalen li.
12 And Sarah laughed within herself, saying: 'After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?'
Sara tonbe ri nan kè l', li t'ap di. Koulye a, kalite jan m' fin vye a, ou kwè lide m' ta sou gason toujou! Epitou, mari mwen, mèt mwen, fin granmoun!
13 And the LORD said unto Abraham: 'Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying: Shall I of a surety bear a child, who am old?
Seyè a di Abraram. Sa ki gen la a pou Sara ri konsa, pou l'ap di nan kè l'. Eske mwen kapab fè pitit ankò, jan m' fin vye a?
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.'
Bon. Eske gen kichòy ki twòp la a pou Mèt la fè? Sou dat mwen fikse a, m'a tounen pase wè ou ankò. Lè sa a, Sara va gen yon pitit gason.
15 Then Sarah denied, saying: 'I laughed not'; for she was afraid. And He said: 'Nay; but thou didst laugh.'
Sara te pè, li t'ap plede, li t'ap di. Mwen pa t' ri non! Men Seyè a di l'. Men wi, machè, ou te ri.
16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked out toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
Mesye yo leve, yo pati, yo mete tèt sou Sodòm. Yo rive kote yo te ka voye je yo gade anba pou wè Sodòm. Abraram menm t'ap mache ak yo. Li t'ap kondi yo mete pi devan sou wout la.
17 And the LORD said: 'Shall I hide from Abraham that which I am doing;
Seyè a di nan kè l'. Mwen pa kapab kache Abraram sa m' pral fè a.
18 seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Pitit pitit li yo pral tounen yon gwo nasyon ki va gen pouvwa. Gremesi Abraram, tout nasyon sou latè pral jwenn benediksyon.
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.'
Mwen te chwazi l' pou l' te pase pitit li yo ak tout rès fanmi l' k'ap vin apre li yo lòd pou yo mache nan chemen Seyè a met devan yo, pou yo fè sa ki kòrèk ak sa ki dwat devan Bondye. Se konsa m'a fè pou li tout sa mwen te pwomèt li a.
20 And the LORD said: 'Verily, the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and, verily, their sin is exceeding grievous.
Apre sa, Seyè a di. Se pa ti kras bagay y'ap di sou moun Sodòm ak moun Gomò, paske peche moun sa yo lou anpil.
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.'
M'ap desann pou m' wè ak je mwen si sa y'ap di sou yo a se vre. Si se pa vre, m'a konnen.
22 And the men turned from thence, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
Mesye yo pati, yo mete tèt sou Sodòm. Men, Seyè a te rete ak Abraram.
23 And Abraham drew near, and said: 'Wilt Thou indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
Abraram pwoche bò kote Seyè a, li mande l'. Eske se vre ou pral touye inonsan yo ansanm ak koupab yo?
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?
Si gen senkant moun inonsan nan lavil la, èske w'ap detwi tout lavil la? Eske ou p'ap fè pa lavil la poutèt senkant inonsan sa yo?
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?'
Aa! Pou di w'ap fè inonsan peri ak koupab? Se pa posib. Ou pa ka fè sa. Se lenjistis pou inonsan gen menm sò ak koupab. Non, sa pa ka fèt. Bondye k'ap jije tout moun sou tè a pa ka nan fè lenjistis.
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.'
Seyè a reponn. Si mwen jwenn senkant inonsan nan lavil Sodòm, m'ap fè pa tout lavil la, poutèt senkant inonsan sa yo.
27 And Abraham answered and said: 'Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, who am but dust and ashes.
Abraram pale ankò, li di. Eskize m' wi! Seyè, si m' penmèt mwen pale ankò. Se moun ase mwen ye, mwen pa gen dwa di ou anyen.
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.'
Men, si se karannsenk moun inonsan sèlman ou jwenn, èske ou pral detwi tout lavil la paske manke senk pou fè senkant lan? Seyè a reponn. Si mwen jwenn karannsenk inonsan sèlman, mwen p'ap detwi lavil la.
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.'
Abraram pale ankò, li di. Ou pa janm konnen, ka gen karant inonsan ase? Seyè a reponn. Si gen karant inonsan, mwen p'ap detwi lavil la.
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.'
Abraram di. Tanpri, Seyè, pa fache sou mwen non. M'ap di ou yon ti mo ankò. Ou pa janm konnen, ou ka jwenn trant inonsan ase nan lavil la. Seyè a reponn. Si mwen jwenn trant, m'ap fè pa lavil la.
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.'
Abraram di. Eskize m' wi, Seyè, si m' penmèt mwen pale toujou. Men, sipoze ou jwenn vin inonsan sèlman? Seyè a reponn li. Si mwen jwenn vin inonsan, m'ap fè pa lavil la.
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.'
Abraram di ankò. Tanpri, Seyè, pa fache sou mwen non. M'ap di yon dènye mo. Si ou jwenn dis inonsan ase? Seyè a reponn li. Si mwen jwenn dis inonsan, m'ap fè pa lavil la.
33 And the LORD went His way, as soon as He had left off speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned unto his place.
Apre li fin pale ak Abraram, Seyè a al fè wout li. Abraram menm tounen lakay li.
