Genesis 18
1 And YHWH appears to him among the oaks of Mamre, and he is sitting at the opening of the tent, about the heat of the day;
Habang nakaupo siya sa pintuan ng tolda sa kainitan ng araw, nagpakita si Yahweh kay Abraham sa mga kakahuyan ni Mamre.
2 and he lifts up his eyes and looks, and behold, three men standing by him, and he sees, and runs to meet them from the opening of the tent, and bows himself toward the earth,
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 says, “My Lord, if now I have found grace in Your eyes, please do not pass on from Your servant;
Sinabi niya, “Panginoon, kung nakasumpong ako ng biyaya sa iyong paningin, huwag kang umalis at iwan ang iyong lingkod.
4 please let a little water be accepted, and wash Your feet, and recline 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 bring a piece of bread, and support Your heart; afterward pass on, for therefore You have passed over to Your servant”; and they say, “So may you do as you have spoken.”
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 Abraham hurries toward the tent, to Sarah, and says, “Hurry three measures of flour-meal, knead, 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 Abraham ran to the herd, and takes a son of the herd, tender and good, and gives to the young man, and he hurries to prepare 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 takes butter and milk, and the son of the herd which he has prepared, and sets before them; and he is standing by them under the tree, and they eat.
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 they say to him, “Where [is] Sarah your wife?” And he says, “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 says, “Returning I return to you, about the time of life, and behold, to Sarah your wife a son.” And Sarah is listening at the opening of the tent, which is 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 Abraham and Sarah [are] aged, entering into days—the way of women has ceased to be to Sarah;
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 Sarah laughs in her heart, saying, “After I have waxed old have I had pleasure? My lord [is] also 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 YHWH says to Abraham, “Why [is] this? Sarah has laughed, saying, Is it really true—I bear—and I am aged?
Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Abraham, “Bakit tumawa si Sarah at sinabing, 'Magkakaanak pa batalaga ako gayong matanda na ako?'
14 Is anything too wonderful for YHWH? At the appointed time I return to you, about the time of life, and Sarah has 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 And Sarah denies, saying, “I did not laugh”; for she has been afraid; and He says, “No, 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 rise from there, and look on the face of Sodom, and Abraham is going with them to send them away;
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 YHWH said, “Am I concealing from Abraham that which I am doing,
Pero sinabi ni Yahweh, “Dapat ko bang itago kay Abraham ang gagawin ko,
18 and Abraham certainly becomes a great and mighty nation, and blessed in him have been all nations of the earth?
gayong tiyak na magiging dakila at makapangyarihang bansa si Abraham, at pagpapalain ang lahat ng bansa sa daigdig sa pamamagitan niya?
19 For I have known him, that he commands his children, and his house after him (and they have kept the way of YHWH), to do righteousness and judgment, that YHWH may bring on Abraham that which He has spoken concerning 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 YHWH says, “The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah—because great; and their sin—because exceedingly grievous:
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Yahweh, “Dahil napakarami ng paratang laban sa Sodoma at Gomora, at napakalubha na ng kanilang kasalanan,
21 I go down now, and see whether according to its cry which is coming to Me they have done completely—and if not—I 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 turn from there, and go toward Sodom; and Abraham is yet standing before YHWH.
Pagkatapos ang mga lalaki ay umalis mula roon at pumunta patungo sa Sodoma, pero nanatiling nakatayo si Abraham sa harapan ni Yahweh.
23 And Abraham draws near and says, “Do You also consume righteous with wicked?
Pagtapos lumapit si Abraham at sinabi, “Lilipulin mo ba ang matuwid kasama ang makasalanan?
24 Perhaps there are fifty righteous in the midst of the city; do You also consume, and not bear with the place for the sake of the fifty righteous who [are] in its midst?
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 Far be it from You to do according to this thing, to put to death the righteous with the wicked; that it has been—as the righteous so the wicked—far be it from You; does the Judge of all the earth not do justice?”
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 YHWH says, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous in the midst of the city, then have I borne with all the place for their sake.”
Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Kung may nakita kang limampung matuwid sa lungsod na iyon, ililigtas ko ang buong lugar para sa kanila.”
27 And Abraham answers and says, “Now behold, I have willed to speak to the Lord, and I [am] dust 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 perhaps there are lacking five of the fifty righteous—do You destroy for five the whole of the city?” And He says, “I do not destroy [it], if I 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 adds again to speak to Him and says, “Perhaps there are found there forty?” And He says, “I do not do [it], because of the forty.”
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 says, “Please let it not be displeasing to the Lord, and I speak: perhaps there are found there thirty?” And He says, “I do not do [it], if I find there thirty.”
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 says, “Now behold, I have willed to speak to the Lord: perhaps there are found there twenty?” And He says, “I do not destroy [it], because of the 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 says, “Please let it not be displeasing to the Lord, and I speak only this time: perhaps there are found there ten?” And He says, “I do not destroy [it], because of the ten.”
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 YHWH goes on, when He has finished speaking to Abraham, and Abraham has turned back to his place.
Nagtungo na si Yahweh sa kaniyang paroroonan matapos siyang makipag-usap kay Abraham, at bumalik na si Abraham sa kanyang tahanan.
