Genesis 18
1 And God appeared to him by the oak of Mambre, as he sat by the door of his tent at noon.
Utuma Abrahaam guyyaa saafaadhaan qilxuu Mamree bira balbala dunkaana isaa dura taaʼee jiruu Waaqayyo isatti mulʼate.
2 And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold! three men stood before him; and having seen them he ran to meet them from the door of his tent, and did obeisance to the ground.
Abrahaamis ol ilaalee namoota isa bira dhadhaabatan sadii arge. Innis akkuma isaan argeen balbala dunkaana isaa duraa kaʼee isaan simachuudhaaf itti fiige; hamma lafa gaʼuttis gad jedhee harka fuudhe.
3 And he said, Lord, if indeed I have found grace in your sight, pass not by your servant.
Innis akkana jedheen; “Gooftaa ko, yoo ani si duratti fudhatama argadhe, garbicha kee bira hin darbin.
4 Let water now be brought, and let them wash your feet, and do you refresh [yourselves] under the tree.
Bishaan xinnoo isiniif haa fidan; miilla dhiqadhaatii muka kana jala boqodhaa.
5 And I will bring bread, and you shall eat, and after this you shall depart on your journey, on account of which [refreshment] you have turned aside to your servant. And he said, So do, as you have said.
Erga isin gara garbicha keessanii dhuftanii, ani akka isin dadhabbii baatanii karaa keessan itti fuftaniif waan isin nyaattan isiniifin kenna.” Isaanis, “Akkuma jette sana godhi” jedhanii deebisan.
6 And Abraam hasted to the tent to Sarrha, and said to her, Hasten, and knead three measures of fine flour, and make cakes.
Kanaafuu Abrahaam dafee Saaraatti dunkaana seenee, “Dafii daakuu bullaaʼaa safartuu sadii sukkuumiitii maxinoo tolchi” jedheen.
7 And Abraam ran to the kine, and took a young calf, tender and good, and gave it to his servant, and he hasted to dress it.
Innis gara saawwaniitti fiigee jabbii gabbatee itti tole tokko filatee hojjetaa tokkotti kenne; hojjetaan sunis qopheessuuf ariifate.
8 And he took butter and milk, and the calf which he had dressed; and he set them before them, and they did eat, and he stood by them under the tree.
Abrahaamis itittuu fi aannan, foon jabbii qopheeffame sanas geessee isaanii dhiʼeesse; yeroo isaan nyaachaa turanittis Abrahaam muka tokko jala isaan bira dhaabachaa ture.
9 And he said to him, Where is Sarrha your wife? And he answered and said, Behold! in the tent.
Isaanis, “Niitiin kee Saaraan eessa jirti?” jedhanii isa gaafatan. Innis, “Kuunnoo dunkaana keessa jirti” jedheen.
10 And he said, I will return and come to you according to this period seasonably, and Sarrha your wife shall have a son; and Sarrha heard at the door of the tent, being behind him.
Isaan keessaa tokko, “Ani dhugumaan bara dhufu keessa yeroo akkanaatti deebiʼee gara kee nan dhufa; niitiin kee Saaraanis ilma ni deessi” jedhe. Yeroo sana Saaraan balbala dunkaanaa kan isa duubaan jiru keessaan dhaggeeffachaa turte.
11 And Abraam and Sarrha were old, advanced in days, and the custom of women ceased with Sarrha.
Abrahaamii fi Saaraan umuriin isaanii dheeratee dulloomanii turan; Saaraanis umurii itti mucaa daʼuu dandeessu dabartee turte.
12 And Sarrha laughed in herself, saying, The thing has not as yet happened to me, even until now, and my lord is old.
Kanaafuu Saaraan, “Ani erga jaaree bututee, gooftaan koos erga dulloomee booddee, gammachuu kana qabaachuu nan dandaʼaa?” jettee of keessatti kolfite.
13 And the Lord said to Abraam, Why is it that Sarrha has laughed in herself, saying, Shall I then indeed bear? but I am grown old.
Kana irratti Waaqayyo Abrahaamiin akkana jedhe; “Saaraan maaliif, ‘Ani ergan dulloomee booddee amma dhugumaan mucaa nan daʼaa?’ jettee kolfite?
14 Shall anything be impossible with the Lord? At this time I will return to you seasonably, and Sarrha shall have a son.
Wanni Waaqayyoof hin dandaʼamne tokko iyyuu jiraa? Ani bara dhufu keessa yeroo murteeffametti deebiʼee gara kee nan dhufa; Saaraanis ilma ni deessi.”
15 But Sarrha denied, saying, I did not laugh, for she was afraid. And he said to her, Nay, but you did laugh.
Saaraanis waan sodaatteef sobdee, “Ani hin kolfine” jette. Inni garuu, “Lakkii kolfiteertaa” jedhe.
16 And the men having risen up from thence looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha. And Abraam went with them, attending them on their journey.
Namoonni sun yommuu deemuuf kaʼanitti gara Sodoom gad ilaalan; Abrahaamis isaan geggeessuuf jedhee isaan wajjin baʼe.
17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraam my servant what things I intend to do?
Ergasii Waaqayyo akkana jedhe; “Ani waanan gochuuf jiru Abrahaamin nan dhoksaa?
18 But Abraam shall become a great and populous nation, and in him shall all the nations of the earth be blest.
Abrahaam dhugumaan saba guddaa fi jabaa taʼa; sabni lafa irraa hundinuu karaa isaatiin eebbifama.
19 For I know that he will order his sons, and his house after him, and they will keep the ways of the Lord, to do justice and judgment, that the Lord may bring upon Abraam all things whatever he has spoken to him.
Akka inni ijoollee isaatii fi sanyii isaa warra isa duubaan dhufan, akka isaan waan qajeelaa fi sirrii taʼe hojjechuudhaan karaa Waaqayyoo eegan ajajuuf ani isa filadheeraatii; kunis akka Waaqayyo waan Abrahaamiif kakate sana isaaf guutuuf.”
20 And the Lord said, The cry of Sodom and Gomorrha has been increased towards me, and their sins are very great.
Waaqayyos akkana jedhe; “Iyyi Sodoomii fi Gomoraa irratti iyyame guddaa dha; cubbuun isaaniis waan akka malee hamaa taʼeef
21 I will therefore go down and see, if they completely correspond with the cry which comes to me, and if not, that I may know.
ani gad buʼee akka wanni isaan hojjetan akkuma iyya na qaqqabe sanaa hamaa taʼe nan ilaala. Yoo akkas taʼuu baate immoo natu beeka.”
22 And the men having departed thence, came to Sodom; and Abraam was still standing before the Lord.
Namoonni sunis garagalanii Sodoomitti qajeelan; Abrahaam garuu Waaqayyo dura dhaabatee hafe.
23 And Abraam drew near and said, Wouldest you destroy the righteous with the wicked, and shall the righteous be as the wicked?
Abrahaamis isatti dhiʼaatee akkana jedhe; “Ati nama qajeelaa nama jalʼaa wajjin ni balleessitaa?
24 Should there be fifty righteous in the city, will you destroy them? will you not spare the whole place for the sake of the fifty righteous, if they be in it?
Yoo namoonni qajeeloon shantamni magaalattii keessa jiraatan hoo? Ati dhugumaan ishee ni balleessitaa? Sababii qajeelota shantamman ishee keessa jiraatan sanaatiif jettee ishee hin oolchituu?
25 By no means shall you do as this thing [is] so as to destroy the righteous with the wicked, so the righteous shall be as the wicked: by no means. You that judge the whole earth, shall you not do right?
Qajeelaa fi hamaa wal qixxee ilaaluudhaan nama qajeelaa nama hamaa wajjin balleessuun sirraa haa fagaatu. Kun sirraa haa fagaatu! Abbaan murtii lafa hundaa waan qajeelaa hin hojjetuu?”
26 And the Lord said, If there should be in Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole city, and the whole place for their sakes.
Waaqayyos, “Ani yoo magaalaa Sodoom keessatti qajeeltota shantama argadhe, isaaniif jedhee iddoo sana guutuu nan oolcha” jedhe.
27 And Abraam answered and said, Now I have begun to speak to my Lord, and I am earth and ashes.
Abrahaam ammas akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani utuman awwaaraa fi daaraa taʼee jiruu Gooftaatti dubbachuuf ija jabaadheera;
28 But if the fifty righteous should be diminished to forty-five, will you destroy the whole city because of the five [lacking]? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I should find there forty-five.
yoo baayʼinni qajeeltotaa shantama irraa shan hirʼate hoo? Ati sababii namoota shanan sanaatiif jettee magaalaa sana guutuu ni balleessitaa?” Innis, “Ani yoo nama afurtamii shan achitti argadhe ishee hin balleessu” jedhe.
29 And he continued to speak to him still, and said, But if there should be found there forty? And he said, I will not destroy it for the forty's sake.
Abrahaam amma illee, “Yoo qajeeltonni afurtamni qofti achitti argaman hoo?” jedhee isatti dubbate. Gooftaanis, “Ani warra afurtama sanaaf jedhee nan dhiisa” jedhe.
30 And he said, Will there be anything [against me], Lord, if I shall speak? but if there be found there thirty? And he said, I will not destroy it for the thirty's sake.
Abrahaamis, “Mee nan dubbadhaatii Gooftaan, hin aarin. Yoo namoonni soddomni qofti achitti argaman hoo?” jedhe. Gooftaanis, “Ani yoon nama soddoma achitti argadhe ishee hin balleessu” jedhee deebise.
31 And he said, Since I am able to speak to the Lord, what if there should be found there twenty? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I should find there twenty.
Abrahaamis, “Kunoo amma erga ani Gooftaatti dubbachuuf ija jabaadhe, yoo namoonni digdamni qofti achitti argaman hoo?” jedhe. Gooftaanis, “Ani sababii namoota digdama sanaatiif jedhee ishee hin balleessu” jedhe.
32 And he said, Will there be anything [against me], Lord, if I speak yet once? but if there should be found there ten? And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten's sake.
Abrahaamis, “Yaa Gooftaa amma illee yeroo tokko waa sin gaafadhaatii maaloo hin aarin; yoo namni kudhan qofti achitti argame hoo?” jedhe. Gooftaan immoo, “Ani sababii namoota kurnan sanaatiif jedhee ishee hin balleessu” jedhe.
33 And the Lord departed, when he left off speaking to Abraam, and Abraam returned to his place.
Waaqayyos erga Abrahaam wajjin dubbatee fixee booddee achii deeme. Abrahaam immoo iddoo ofii isaatti deebiʼe.
