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;
Gospod se mu je prikazal na Mamrejevih ravninah, on pa je sedel pri šotorskih vratih, v vročini dneva
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,
in povzdignil svoje oči in pogledal in glej, pri njem so stali trije možje in ko jih je zagledal, je stekel od šotorskih vrat, da jih sreča in se priklonil proti tlom
3 and said: 'My lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.
ter rekel: »Moj Gospod, če sem torej našel naklonjenost v tvojih očeh, te prosim, ne odidi proč od svojega služabnika.
4 Let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and recline yourselves under the tree.
Naj bo prineseno, prosim te, malo vode in umijte svoja stopala in se spočijte pod drevesom.
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.'
Prinesel bom grižljaj kruha in potolažite svoja srca. Nató boste šli dalje, kajti zato ste prišli k svojemu služabniku.« In rekli so: »Stôri tako, kakor si rekel.«
6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said: 'Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.'
Abraham se je podvizal v šotor k Sari ter ji rekel: »Brž pripravi tri mere fino mlete moke, zamesi jo in na ognjišču pripravi kolače.«
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 je stekel k čredi, vzel nežno in dobro tele ter ga dal mladeniču in ta je pohitel, da ga pripravi.
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.
Vzel je maslo, mleko in tele, ki ga je pripravil in to postavil prednje, in stal je poleg njih, pod drevesom, oni pa so jedli.
9 And they said unto him: 'Where is Sarah thy wife?' And he said: 'Behold, in the tent.'
Rekli so mu: »Kje je tvoja žena Sara?« Rekel je: »Glejte, v šotoru.«
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. —
In on je rekel: »Zagotovo se bom vrnil k tebi glede na čas življenja in glej, tvoja žena Sara bo imela sina.« Sara pa je to slišala pri vratih šotora, ki je bil za njim.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, and well stricken in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. —
Torej Abraham in Sara sta bila stara in zelo zvrhana v letih in s Saro je prenehalo biti po običaju žensk.
12 And Sarah laughed within herself, saying: 'After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?'
Zato se je Sara v sebi zasmejala, rekoč: »Bom še imela užitek, potem ko sem se postarala [in] je tudi moj gospod postal star?«
13 And the LORD said unto Abraham: 'Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying: Shall I of a surety bear a child, who am old?
Gospod je rekel Abrahamu: »Zakaj se je Sara zasmejala, rekoč: ›Bom zares rodila otroka jaz, ki sem stara?‹
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.'
Je za Gospoda katerakoli stvar pretežka? Ob določenem času se bom vrnil k tebi, glede na čas življenja in Sara bo imela sina.«
15 Then Sarah denied, saying: 'I laughed not'; for she was afraid. And He said: 'Nay; but thou didst laugh.'
Potem je Sara zanikala, rekoč: »Nisem se zasmejala, « kajti bila je prestrašena. On pa je rekel: »Ne, toda zasmejala si se.«
16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked out toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
Možje so vstali od tam in pogledali proti Sódomi in Abraham je odšel z njimi, da jih pospremi na pot.
17 And the LORD said: 'Shall I hide from Abraham that which I am doing;
Gospod je rekel: »Mar naj pred Abrahamom prikrijem to stvar, ki jo počnem,
18 seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
glede na to, da bo Abraham zagotovo postal velik in mogočen narod in bodo v njem blagoslovljeni vsi narodi zemlje?
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.'
Kajti poznam ga, da bo ukazal svojim otrokom in svoji družini za njim in se bodo držali Gospodove poti, da izvajajo pravičnost in sodbo, da bo Gospod nad Abrahama lahko privedel to, kar je govoril o njem.«
20 And the LORD said: 'Verily, the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and, verily, their sin is exceeding grievous.
Gospod je rekel: »Ker je vpitje Sódome in Gomóre veliko in ker je njihov greh zelo boleč,
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.'
bom torej šel dol in pogledal, ali so storili povsem glede na njihovo vpitje, ki je prišlo do mene; in če ne, bom vedel.«
22 And the men turned from thence, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
Možje so svoje obraze obrnili od tam in odšli proti Sódomi, toda Abraham je kljub temu stopil pred Gospoda.
23 And Abraham drew near, and said: 'Wilt Thou indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
Abraham se je približal in rekel: »Hočeš prav tako uničiti pravične z zlobnimi?
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?
Morda je znotraj mesta petdeset pravičnih. Hočeš prav tako uničiti kraj in mu ne prizanesti zaradi petdesetih pravičnih, ki so v njem?
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?'
To bodi daleč od tebe, da storiš na ta način, da z zlobnimi pokončaš pravične in da bi bili pravični kakor zlobni, to bodi daleč od tebe. Mar ne bo Sodnik vse zemlje storil pravično?«
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.'
Gospod je rekel: »Če najdem v Sódomi, znotraj mesta, petdeset pravičnih, potem bom zaradi njih prizanesel celemu kraju.«
27 And Abraham answered and said: 'Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, who am but dust and ashes.
Abraham pa je odgovoril in rekel: »Glej torej, nase, ki sem samo prah in pepel, sem vzel, da govorim Gospodu.
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.'
Morda jih bo manjkalo pet do petdesetih pravičnih. Hočeš mesto uničiti zaradi pomanjkanja petih?« On pa je rekel: »Če jih najdem tam petinštirideset, ga ne bom uničil.«
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.'
Ponovno mu je spregovoril in rekel: »Morda jih bo tam najdenih štirideset.« On pa je rekel: » Tega ne bom storil zaradi štiridesetih.«
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.'
Rekel mu je: »Oh naj moj Gospod ne bo jezen, jaz pa bom govoril: ›Morda jih bo tam najdenih trideset.‹« On pa je rekel: » Tega ne bom storil, če jih tam najdem trideset.«
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.'
Rekel je: »Glej torej, vzel sem nase, da govorim Gospodu: ›Morda jih bo tam najdenih dvajset.‹« On pa je rekel: »Ne bom ga uničil zaradi dvajsetih.«
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.'
Rekel je: »Oh naj Gospod ne bo jezen, jaz pa bom govoril samo še tokrat: ›Morda jih bo tam najdenih deset.‹« On pa je rekel: »Ne bom ga uničil zaradi desetih.«
33 And the LORD went His way, as soon as He had left off speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned unto his place.
Gospod je odšel svojo pot takoj, ko je prenehal govoriti z Abrahamom. Abraham pa se je vrnil na svoj kraj.
