Genesis 18
1 And God appeared to him by the oak of Mambre, as he sat by the door of his tent at noon.
Habang nakaupo siya sa pintuan ng tolda sa kainitan ng araw, nagpakita si Yahweh kay Abraham sa mga kakahuyan ni Mamre.
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.
Tumingala siya at naroon, nakita niya ang tatlong lalaki na nakatayo sa harap niya. Nang makita sila ni Abraham, tumakbo siya mula sa pintuan ng tolda, para salubungin sila at yumukod siya sa lupa.
3 And he said, Lord, if indeed I have found grace in your sight, pass not by your servant.
Sinabi niya, “Panginoon, kung nakasumpong ako ng biyaya sa iyong paningin, huwag kang umalis at iwan ang iyong lingkod.
4 Let water now be brought, and let them wash your feet, and do you refresh [yourselves] under the tree.
Hayaan ninyong maidala ang kaunting tubig, mahugasan ang inyong mga paa, at makapagpahinga kayo sa ilalim ng punong kahoy.
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.
Hayaan ninyong dalhan ko kayo ng kaunting pagkain, at nang manumbalik ang inyong lakas. Pagkatapos maaari na kayong tumuloy sa pupuntahan ninyo dahil naparito na kayo sa inyong lingkod.” Sinabi nila, “Gawin mo ang sinabi mo.”
6 And Abraam hasted to the tent to Sarrha, and said to her, Hasten, and knead three measures of fine flour, and make cakes.
Pagkatapos dali-daling pumunta si Abraham sa tolda ni Sarah at sinabi, “Bilisan mo, magdala ka ng tatlong takal ng harina, masahin mo ito, at gawing tinapay.”
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.
Pagkatapos tumakbo si Abraham sa kawan, kumuha siya ng guyang mainam at maayos at ibinigay ito sa lingkod, at nagmadali siyang ihanda ito.
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.
Kumuha siya ng mantikilya at gatas, at ang guya na naihanda at nilagay ang pagkain sa harap nila. At tumayo siya sa ilalim ng puno habang sila ay kumakain.
9 And he said to him, Where is Sarrha your wife? And he answered and said, Behold! in the tent.
Sinabi nila sa kanya, “Nasaan ang iyong asawa na si Sarah?” Sumagot siya, “Naroon sa loob ng tolda.”
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.
Sinabi niya, “Makatitiyak ka na babalik ako sa iyo sa tagsibol at makikita mo, magkakaroon ng anak na lalaki ang iyong asawa na si Sarah.” Nakikinig si Sarah sa pintuan ng tolda na nasa likod ni Abraham.
11 And Abraam and Sarrha were old, advanced in days, and the custom of women ceased with Sarrha.
Ngayon matanda na nga sina Abraham at Sarah, talagang napakatanda na at nalampasan na ni Sarah ang edad kung saan hindi na maaaring magkaanak pa ang isang babae.
12 And Sarrha laughed in herself, saying, The thing has not as yet happened to me, even until now, and my lord is old.
Kaya tinawanan ni Sarah ang kaniyang sarili at sinabing,” “Ngayong matanda na ako, magkakaroon pa ba ako ng kasiyahan, gayong ang panginoon ko ay matanda na rin?”
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.
Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Abraham, “Bakit tumawa si Sarah at sinabing, 'Magkakaanak pa batalaga ako gayong matanda na ako?'
14 Shall anything be impossible with the Lord? At this time I will return to you seasonably, and Sarrha shall have a son.
Mayroon bang mahirap para kay Yahweh? Pagsapit ng itinakda kong panahon, sa tagsibol, babalik ako sa iyo. Sa ganitong oras sa susunod na taon, si Sarah ay magkakaroon ng anak na lalaki.
15 But Sarrha denied, saying, I did not laugh, for she was afraid. And he said to her, Nay, but you did laugh.
Pagkatapos, itinanggi ni Sarah ito at sinabing, “Hindi ako tumawa,” dahil siya ay natakot. Sumagot si Yahweh, “Hindi, tumawa ka.”
16 And the men having risen up from thence looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha. And Abraam went with them, attending them on their journey.
Pagkatapos tumayo ang mga lalaki para umalis at tumingin pababa patungong Sodoma. Sumama si Abraham sa kanila para ihatid sila sa pagpapatuloy ng kanilang paglalakbay.
17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraam my servant what things I intend to do?
Pero sinabi ni Yahweh, “Dapat ko bang itago kay Abraham ang gagawin ko,
18 But Abraam shall become a great and populous nation, and in him shall all the nations of the earth be blest.
gayong tiyak na magiging dakila at makapangyarihang bansa si Abraham, at pagpapalain ang lahat ng bansa sa daigdig sa pamamagitan niya?
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.
Dahil pinili ko siya para maturuan ang kanyang mga anak pati na ang sambahayan na susunod sa kanya na mapanatili ang kaparaanan ni Yahweh, na gumawa ng matuwid at makatarungan, nang sa gayon maibibigay ni Yahweh kay Abraham ang sinabi niya sa kanya.”
20 And the Lord said, The cry of Sodom and Gomorrha has been increased towards me, and their sins are very great.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Yahweh, “Dahil napakarami ng paratang laban sa Sodoma at Gomora, at napakalubha na ng kanilang kasalanan,
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.
bababa ako ngayon doon at titingnan ko kung kasingsama sila gaya ng paratang sa kanila na sinabi sa akin. Kung hindi man, malalaman ko.”
22 And the men having departed thence, came to Sodom; and Abraam was still standing before the Lord.
Pagkatapos ang mga lalaki ay umalis mula roon at pumunta patungo sa Sodoma, pero nanatiling nakatayo si Abraham sa harapan ni Yahweh.
23 And Abraam drew near and said, Wouldest you destroy the righteous with the wicked, and shall the righteous be as the wicked?
Pagtapos lumapit si Abraham at sinabi, “Lilipulin mo ba ang matuwid kasama ang makasalanan?
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?
Marahil mayroong limampung matuwid sa loob ng lungsod. Lilipulin niyo ba ito at hindi ililigtas ang lugar alang-alang sa kapakanan ng limampung matuwid na naroon?
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?
Malayong gawin mo ang mga bagay na ito, na patayin ang mga matuwid kasama ang makasalanan, at ituring ang mga matuwid gaya ng mga makasalanan. Malayong gawin mo ito! Hindi ba gagawin ng Hukom ng buong mundo kung ano ang makatarungan?”
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.
Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Kung may nakita kang limampung matuwid sa lungsod na iyon, ililigtas ko ang buong lugar para sa kanila.”
27 And Abraam answered and said, Now I have begun to speak to my Lord, and I am earth and ashes.
Sumagot si Abraham at sinabi, “Tingnan mo ang aking ginawa, nangahas akong makipag-usap sa aking Panginoon, kahit na alikabok at abo lamang ako!
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.
Paano kung nabawasan ng lima ang limampung matuwid? Wawasakin mo ba ang buong lungsod dahil nabawasan ng lima? At sinabi niya, “Hindi ko ito wawasakin kung may mahanap akong apatnapu't lima.”
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.
Muli siyang nakipag-usap sa kanya at sinabing, “Paano kung apatnapu ang makita roon? Sumagot siya, “Alang-alang sa apatnapu, hindi ko ito gagawin.”
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.
Sinabi niya, “Pakiusap, huwag kayong magagalit Panginoon, para makapagsalita ako. Kung sakali na tatlumpu ang mahanap doon? “Sinabi ng Diyos, “Hindi ko ito gagawin kung may mahanap akong tatlumpu doon.”
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.
Sinabi niya, “Tingnan mo, nangahas akong makipag-usap sa aking Panginoon! Marahil dalawampu ang makita roon.” Tumugon siya, “Hindi ko ito gagawin alang-alang sa dalawampu.”
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.
Sinabi niya, “Pakiusap, huwag kayong magalit, Panginoon, sasabihin ko ito sa huling pagkakataon. Marahil sampu ang makita roon.” At sinabi niya, “Hindi ko ito wawasakin alang-alang sa sampung natira.”
33 And the Lord departed, when he left off speaking to Abraam, and Abraam returned to his place.
Nagtungo na si Yahweh sa kaniyang paroroonan matapos siyang makipag-usap kay Abraham, at bumalik na si Abraham sa kanyang tahanan.
