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;
Ary Jehovah niseho tamin’ i Abrahama teo an-kazo terebintan’ i Mamre; ary nipetraka teo am-baravaran’ ny lainy izy, raha nafana ny andro;
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,
dia nanopy ny masony izy ka niery, ary, indreo, nisy telo lahy nijanona teo tandrifiny, ka nony nahita ireo izy, dia niala teo am-baravaran’ ny lainy ka nihazakazaka hitsena azy, dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany
3 and said: 'My lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.
ka nanao hoe: Tompo ô, raha mahita fitia eto imasonao aho, masìna ianao, aza dia mandalo ny mpanomponao.
4 Let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and recline yourselves under the tree.
Aoka hangalana rano kely ianareo hanasana ny tongotrareo; ary aoka mba hiala sasatra kely eo am-pototry ny hazo ianareo;
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.'
dia haka mofo kely aho hataonareo ody am-bavafo; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia handeha ihany ianareo; fa tonga atỳ amin’ ny mpanomponareo ianareo. Ary hoy izy telo lahy: Ataovy ihany araka izay nolazainao.
6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said: 'Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.'
Dia nandeha faingana Abrahama nankany an-day tany amin’ i Saraha ka nanao hoe: Faingana, makà koba tsara toto intelon’ ny famarana; dia fetafetao ka ataovy mofo.
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.
Ary Abrahama kosa nihazakazaka nankany amin’ ny omby, dia naka zanak’ omby tanora sady tsara ka nanolotra azy tamin’ ny ankizilahy, dia lasa faingana izy hamboatra azy.
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.
Ary Abrahama naka ronono mandry sy ronono ary ilay zanak’ omby efa namboariny, dia narosony teo anoloan’ izy telo lahy; ary nijanona teo anilany teo ambanin’ ny hazo izy, dia nihinana izy telo lahy.
9 And they said unto him: 'Where is Sarah thy wife?' And he said: 'Behold, in the tent.'
Ary hoy izy telo lahy tamin’ i Abrahama: Aiza Saraha vadinao? Ary hoy kosa izy: Indro, ao an-day izy.
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. —
Ary hoy Izy: Hiverina aminao tokoa Aho raha avy ny taona toy izao; ary, indro hanana zazalahy Saraha vadinao. Ary Saraha nandre izany teo am-baravaran’ ny lay, izay teo ivohon’ Ilay niteny.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, and well stricken in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. —
Ary Abrahama sy Saraha dia samy efa zoki-olona ka nandroso fahanterana, ary efa nitsahatra tamin’ ny fombam-behivavy Saraha.
12 And Sarah laughed within herself, saying: 'After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?'
Ary Saraha dia nihomehy anakampo ka nanao hoe: Moa mbola hanana hafaliana ihany va aho rehefa tratrantitra toy izao, sady efa antitra koa itompokolahy?
13 And the LORD said unto Abraham: 'Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying: Shall I of a surety bear a child, who am old?
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Abrahama: Nahoana no nihomehy Saraha ka nanao hoe: Hiteraka tokoa va aho, kanefa izao efa antitra izao?
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.'
Fa moa misy zavatra mahagaga izay tsy hain’ i Jehovah va? Amin’ ny fotoan’ andro raha avy ny taona toy izao dia hiverina aminao Aho, ary Saraha hanana zazalahy.
15 Then Sarah denied, saying: 'I laughed not'; for she was afraid. And He said: 'Nay; but thou didst laugh.'
Dia nandà Saraha satria natahotra izy, ka nanao hoe: Tsy nihomehy aho tsy akory. Fa hoy Ilay niteny: Tsia; fa nihomehy mihitsy ianao.
16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked out toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
Dia nitsangana ireny lehilahy ireny ka niala teo, dia nitsinjo an’ i Sodoma; ary Abrahama niaraka taminy hanatitra azy.
17 And the LORD said: 'Shall I hide from Abraham that which I am doing;
Ary Jehovah nanao hoe: Hafeniko amin’ i Abrahama va izay hataoko?
18 seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Fa Abrahama ho tonga firenena lehibe sy mahery tokoa, ary aminy no hitahiana ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany.
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.'
Fa efa nifidy azy Aho mba handidy ny zanany sy ny taranany mandimby azy hitandreman’ ireo ny lalàn’ i Jehovah hanao izay marina sy mahitsy, mba hitondran’ i Jehovah amin’ i Abrahama izay efa nolazainy taminy.
20 And the LORD said: 'Verily, the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and, verily, their sin is exceeding grievous.
Ary hoy Jehovah: Ny fitarainan’ i Sodoma sy Gomora dia lehibe tokoa, ary ny fahotany dia mavesatra indrindra;
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.'
hidina Aho ka hizaha na efa nahatanteraka izany tokoa izy araka ny fitarainan’ ny tany, izay efa tonga atỳ amiko, na tsia; ary raha tsy izany, dia ho fantatro.
22 And the men turned from thence, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
Dia nihodina niala teo ireo lehilahy ireo ka nandroso ho any Sodoma; fa Abrahama kosa mbola nijanona teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
23 And Abraham drew near, and said: 'Wilt Thou indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
Dia nanatona Abrahama ka nanao hoe: Haringanao miaraka amin’ ny meloka va ny marina?
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?
Angamba misy olo-marina dimam-polo ao an-tanàna; haringanao koa va, ka tsy hamindranao fo ny tanàna noho ny dimam-polo marina izay ao?
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?'
Sanatria Anao raha hanao toy izany ka hamono ny marina miaraka amin’ ny meloka, ka ny marina hatao tahaka ny meloka; sanatria Anao izany! tsy hitsara marina va ny Mpitsara ny tany rehetra?
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.'
Ary hoy Jehovah: Raha mahita dimam-polo marina ao an-tanàna Sodoma Aho, dia hamindrako fo ny tanàna rehetra noho ireny.
27 And Abraham answered and said: 'Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, who am but dust and ashes.
Dia namaly Abrahama ka nanao hoe: Indro, fa efa sahy niteny tamin’ ny Tompo aho nefa vovoka sy lavenona:
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.'
Angamba ho latsaka dimy ny dimam-polo marina; moa haringanao va ny tanàna rehetra noho ny dimy? Ary hoy Izy: Tsy handringana Aho, raha mahita dimy amby efa-polo ao.
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.'
Dia, mbola niteny taminy indray izy ka nanao hoe: Angamba efa-polo no ho hita ao. Ary hoy Izy: Tsy mba hanao izany Aho noho ny efa-polo.
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.'
Ary hoy izy: Aoka anie mba tsy ho tezitra ny Tompo, fa mbola hiteny aho: Angamba telo-polo no ho hita ao. Ary hoy Izy: Tsy mba hanao izany Aho, raha mahita telo-polo ao.
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.'
Ary hoy izy: Indro, fa efa sahy niteny tamin’ ny Tompo aho: Angamba roa-polo no ho hita ao. Ary hoy Izy: Tsy mba handringana azy Aho noho ny roa-polo.
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.'
Ary hoy izy: Aoka anie mba tsy ho tezitra Hianao, Tompo, fa hiteny izao indray mandeha izao ihany aho: Angamba folo no ho hita ao. Ary hoy Izy: Tsy mba handringana Aho noho ny folo.
33 And the LORD went His way, as soon as He had left off speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned unto his place.
Dia lasa nandeha Jehovah, rehefa vita ny teny nataony tamin’ i Abrahama; ary Abrahama niverina ho any amin’ ny fonenany.
