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;
Alò, SENYÈ a te parèt a li nan bwadchenn Marmré yo pandan li te chita akote pòt tant la nan chalè jounen 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,
Lè li te leve zye li pou te gade, men twa mesye ki te kanpe anfas li. Lè li te wè yo li te kouri sòti nan pòt tant lan pou rankontre yo, e li te bese tèt li atè.
3 and said: 'My lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.
Li te di: “SENYÈ mwen, si koulye a mwen vin twouve favè nan zye nou, souple, pa pase lwen sèvitè nou an.
4 Let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and recline yourselves under the tree.
Souple, kite yon ti dlo ta pote pou lave pye nou, e repoze nou anba pyebwa 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.'
Konsa, mwen va pote yon moso pen, pou nou kapab rafrechi nou menm; apre sa nou kapab kontinye, depi nou fin vizite sèvitè nou an.” Epi yo te di: “Fè sa ke 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.'
Epi Abraham te kouri antre nan tant lan vè Sarah, e te di: “Fè vit, prepare twa mezi farin fen, byen bat li, e fè gato 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.
Abraham osi te kouri nan pak bèf, li te pran yon jenn bèf byen mou, byen chwazi, e li te bay li a sèvitè li, ki te fè vit pou prepare li.
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.
Li te pran bòl lèt kaye yo avèk lèt fre ak jèn bèf ke li te prepare, e te plase li devan yo; epi li te kanpe bò kote yo anba pyebwa a pandan yo t ap manje.
9 And they said unto him: 'Where is Sarah thy wife?' And he said: 'Behold, in the tent.'
Alò, yo te di li: “Kote Sarah, madanm ou?” Epi li te di: “Nan tant lan”.
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. —
Epi li te di: “Anverite, mwen va retounen bò kote ou nan lè sa ane pwochèn; epi gade byen, Sarah, madanm ou va gen tan gen yon fis.” Epi Sarah t ap koute bò kote pòt la, ki te dèyè li a.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, and well stricken in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. —
Alò, Abraham ak Sarah te vye, byen avanse nan laj. Sarah te depase laj pou fè pitit.
12 And Sarah laughed within herself, saying: 'After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?'
Sarah te ri a tèt li, e te di: “Lè m gen tan fin vye a, èske m ap gen plezi, e mari mwen ki vye tou?”
13 And the LORD said unto Abraham: 'Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying: Shall I of a surety bear a child, who am old?
Epi SENYÈ a te di Abraham: “Poukisa Sara te ri, e t ap di: ‘Èske vrèman mwen va fè yon pitit lè mwen 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.'
“Èske gen anyen ki twò difisil pou SENYÈ a? Nan lè chwazi a, mwen va retounen a nou menm, nan lè sa a, lane pwochèn, e Sarah va gen yon fis.”
15 Then Sarah denied, saying: 'I laughed not'; for she was afraid. And He said: 'Nay; but thou didst laugh.'
Sarah te demanti sa, e te di: “Mwen pa t ri non”; paske li te pè. Epi Li te di: “Non, men 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.
Alò, mesye yo te leve la e yo te gade pi ba vè Sodome; epi Abraham t ap mache avèk yo pou voye yo ale.
17 And the LORD said: 'Shall I hide from Abraham that which I am doing;
SENYÈ a te di: “Èske Mwen kab kache Abraham sa ke M prè pou M 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?
paske Abraham va anverite vin yon gran nasyon byen fò, e nan li, tout nasyon yo va beni?
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.'
Paske Mwen te chwazi li pou l kapab kòmande pitit li yo avèk lakay li, pou kenbe chemen SENYÈ a, pou fè ladwati avèk jistis, pou SENYÈ a kapab fè rive sou Abraham, sa ke Li te pale de li a.”
20 And the LORD said: 'Verily, the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and, verily, their sin is exceeding grievous.
Epi SENYÈ a te di: “Gwo kri kont Sodome avèk Gomorrhe a byen gran, e peche pa yo grav depase.
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.'
Mwen va desann koulye a, pou wè si yo te fè tout bagay selon gwo kri sa a, ki te vin jwenn Mwen an; epi si se pa sa, m ap konnen.”
22 And the men turned from thence, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
Alò, mesye yo te vire kite la, e te ale vè Sodome, pandan Abraham toujou kanpe devan SENYÈ a.
23 And Abraham drew near, and said: 'Wilt Thou indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
Abraham te vin pwoche, e te di L: “Èske Ou vrèman va fè disparèt moun dwat yo ansanm avèk mechan 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?
Sipoze ke gen senkant moun ki dwat nan vil la; èske vrèman Ou va fè l disparèt, e pa prezève kote a pou koz a senkant moun dwat ki ladann 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?'
“Se lwen Ou pou Ou ta fè yon bagay konsa, pou touye moun dwat yo avèk mechan yo pou dwat yo avèk mechan yo vin trete menm jan. Se lwen Ou menm! Èske Jij sou tout latè a p ap aji avèk jistis?”
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.'
Epi SENYÈ a te di: “Si Mwen twouve nan Sodome, senkant moun dwat nan vil la, alò, Mwen va prezève tout pou koz a yo menm.”
27 And Abraham answered and said: 'Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, who am but dust and ashes.
Epi Abraham te reponn: “Alò gade byen, mwen te tante pale ak SENYÈ a, malgre mwen pa plis ke pousyè avèk sann.
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.'
Vin sipoze ke senkant dwat yo manke senk, èske Ou va detwi tout vil la akoz senk lan?” Epi li te di: “Mwen p ap detwi li si Mwen twouve karant-senk ki 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.'
Epi li te pale ankò, e te di: “Sipoze ke gen karant ki twouve la?” Epi li te di: “Mwen p ap fè li pou koz a karant lan.”
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.'
Alò li te di: “O ke SENYÈ a pa vin fache avè m, e mwen va pale; sipoze se trant ki twouve la?” Epi Li te di: “Mwen p ap fè li si Mwen twouve trant lan.”
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.'
Epi li te di: “Koulye a byen gade, mwen te tante pale avèk SENYÈ a; sipoze se ven ki twouve la?” Epi li te di: “Mwen p ap detwi li pou koz a ven yo.”
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.'
Alò li te di: “O ke Senyè a pa vin fache avè m! M ap pale sèl fwa sa; sipoze ke se dis ki twouve la?” Epi li te di: “Mwen p ap detwi li pou koz a dis yo.”
33 And the LORD went His way, as soon as He had left off speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned unto his place.
Depi lè ke li fin pale ak Abraham nan, SENYÈ a te pati, e Abraham te retounen nan kote pa li.
