Genesis 18
1 And Yhwh appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
Abraham teh kanîthun khumbei a thoe lahun nah, rim takhang koe a tahung navah BAWIPA teh Mamre kathenkungnaw koehoi ahni koe a kamnue.
2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
A khet teh a hmalah tami kathum touh a kangdue e a hmu navah, rim takhang koehoi ahnimanaw kâhmo hanelah a yawng teh talai dawk a tabo.
3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
Hahoi, ka bawipa na hmalah minhmai kahawi ka hmawt pawiteh na san heh na cettakhai hanh.
4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
Tui youn touh ka sin vaiteh na khok pâsu awh nateh, thingkung rahim kâhat awh ei.
5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
Na tha tawn e roum nahanelah vaiyei youn touh ka sin hnukkhu, na cettakhai awh. Hottelah e coe hanelah na san onae koe na pha toe telah atipouh. Ahnimanaw ni hai na dei patetlah sak lawih atipouh.
6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.
Abraham teh rim thung kaawm e Sarah koe karanglah a yawng teh tavai sum thum touh hane coungkacoe lat nateh karanglah kanawk nateh thawng leih atipouh.
7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
Hahoi Abraham ni maitohu koe a yawng teh, maitoca a tak kathâw e a la teh, a san thoundoun koe a poe teh karanglah a rakueng sak.
8 And he took butter, 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.
Hathnukkhu, sanutui hoi maitoca moi ahnimae hmalah a pâtoum pouh teh a ca awh. Ahnimanaw ni a ca awh lahun nah, ama teh thingkung rahim a kangdue.
9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
Ahnimanaw ni na maw Sarah ao telah a pacei navah rim thung ao telah atipouh.
10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.
Hahoi ahnimanaw ni palawng het tuektue nah nang koe bout ka tho vaiteh na yu Sarah ni ca tongpa a khe han atipouh. Hatnavah Sarah teh ahnimae a hnukkhu lae rim takhang koe ao teh a thai.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
Abraham hoi Sarah teh a matawng ni teh a kumcue roi poung toe. Sarah teh camo o thainae a pout toe.
12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
Hatdawkvah, Sarah ni lunghawinae kai ni ka tawn han rah maw ati teh duem a panui. Ka bawipa hai a matawng poung toe telah ati.
13 And Yhwh said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
BAWIPA ni Abraham koevah, bangkongmaw Sarah ni ka matawng toung dawkvah camo ka khe thai han rah maw ti teh a panui vaw.
14 Is any thing too hard for Yhwh? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
BAWIPA hanelah hno ka ru ao maw. A tueng khoe e patetlah palawng vah Sarah camo a khe han telah atipouh.
15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
Hatei Sarah ni ka panui hoeh titeh a kâpapha. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a lungpuen dawk doeh. Ahni ni nahoeh na panui atipouh awh.
16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
Hahoi, taminaw hote hmuen koehoi a thaw awh teh Sodom kho a radoung awh. Abraham hai ahnimanaw a thak hanelah a kâbang van.
17 And Yhwh said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
Hatei BAWIPA ni ka sak hane hno Abraham koe ka pâpha pouh han maw.
18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Abraham teh tami kalen hoi Athakasaipounge miphun lah a coung han. Talaivan e tami pueng ni ahni lahoi yawhawi a coe awh han.
19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of Yhwh, to do justice and judgment; that Yhwh may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
Bangkongtetpawiteh ahni ni hmalah ka tho hane a canaw hoi imthungnaw ni BAWIPA e lamthung a dawn awh vaiteh, lannae hoi hnokahawi sak hanelah, ka dei tangcoung e patetlah BAWIPA ni Abraham koe kakuep sak hanelah ahni teh ka panue e doeh telah ati.
20 And Yhwh said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
Hahoi BAWIPA ni Sodom hoi Gomorrah kho dawk e hramnae lawk hoi a yonnae teh puenghoi a len toung dawkvah,
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.
Atu ka cei vaiteh kai koe ka phat e a hram awh patetlah ahnimanaw ni a sak katang maw. Sak katang hoeh maw tie atu ka khet han. Sak hoehpawiteh a sak hoeh e ka panue han telah ati.
22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before Yhwh.
Hote taminaw teh hote hmuen koehoi a kamlang awh teh Sodom kho lah a cei awh. Abraham ma teh BAWIPA hmalah paroup a kangdue.
23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
Hahoi Abraham ni a hnai teh, tamikalannaw hai tamikathoutnaw hoi mek na raphoe han maw.
24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
Hote kho dawk tamikalan 50 touh awm pawiteh, a thung e tamikalan 50 touh ao kecu dawk hote hmuen teh na raphoe han maw.
25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
Tamikalannaw hah tamikathoutnaw patetlah khang sak hane teh nang hoi kâhlat naseh. Talaivan pueng lawkcengkung ni kalan lah lawkceng mahoeh maw.
26 And Yhwh said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
Hottelah BAWIPA ni Sodom kho thung vah, tamikalan 50 touh ka hmawt pawiteh, ahnimouh kecu dawk hote hmuen pueng teh ka pasai han telah atipouh.
27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
Abraham ni kai teh vaiphu hoi hraba lah ka o ei, BAWIPA nang koe lawk na pacei hanelah tha bout ka kâla.
28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
Tamikalan 50 touh dawk panga touh kuep hoehpawiteh, hote panga touh akuep hoeh dawk, hote khopui teh na raphoe han maw, telah a pacei. Ahni ni hawvah 45 touh ka hmu nakunghai ka raphoe mahoeh atipouh.
29 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty’s sake.
Hahoi 40 touh ka hmu yawkaw han doeh bout atipouh navah, 40 touh hai ka raphoe mahoeh atipouh.
30 And he said unto him, 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.
Hahoi Oe BAWIPA na lungphuen hanh, bout na pacei ei nei, 30 touh ka hmu yawkaw han doeh bout atipouh navah, 30 touh hane dawk hai ka raphoe mahoeh atipouh.
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 twenty’s sake.
Ahni ni thai haw, BAWIPA koe lawk bout ka pacei ei nei, hawvah 20 touh ka hmu yawkaw han doeh bout atipouh navah, 20 touh hane dawk hai ka raphoe mahoeh atipouh.
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 ten’s sake.
Hahoi, Oe BAWIPA na lungkhuek hanh yawkaw, vai touh bout na pacei einei, hawvah 10 touh ka hmawt pawiteh atipouh navah, 10 touh hane dawk hai ka raphoe mahoeh atipouh.
33 And Yhwh went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
BAWIPA teh Abraham hoi lawk koung a kâpato roi hnukkhu a ceitakhai. Abraham haiyah a ma onae koe a ban.
