Genesis 18
1 And God appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the entrance to the tent in the heat of the day.
Seyè a parèt devan Abraram bò pye bwadchenn Manmre yo. Abraram te chita nan papòt kay li, lè ki te fè pi cho nan lajounen an.
2 He lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw that three men stood opposite him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the entrance of the tent, and bowed himself to the earth,
Abraram leve je l', li rete konsa li wè twa mesye kanpe devan li toupre pyebwa yo. Wè li wè yo, li leve nan papòt la, li kouri al jwenn yo, li bese tèt li jouk atè pou l' di yo bonjou.
3 and said, "My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please do not go on past your servant.
Li di. Mèt, tanpri. Pa pase devan lakay mwen san ou pa fè yon ti rete. Se sèvitè ou mwen ye.
4 Now let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
Kite m' mande yo pote ti gout dlo pou lave pye ou. Lèfini, w'a pran yon ti repo anba pyebwa sa a.
5 I will get a bit of food so you may refresh yourselves. After that you may go your way, now that you have come to your servant." They said, "Very well, do as you have said."
'a pote yon ti manje pou ou soutni kè ou pou ou reprann fòs pou ou ka kontinye vwayaj ou. Ou rive lakay mwen, mwen la pou m' sèvi ou. Yo reponn li: -Dakò. Ou mèt fè jan ou di a.
6 Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Quickly, get three measures of fine flour, knead it, and make bread."
Abraram kouri lakay li, li ale jwenn Sara. Li di l' konsa. Fè vit. Pran trant liv farin bon kalite, mouye l', fè pen.
7 Abraham ran to the herd, and took a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant, and he hurried to prepare it.
Apre sa, Abraram kouri al nan bann bèt li yo, li pran yon jenn ti bèf byen gra, li bay yonn nan domestik li yo li pou li prese al kòche l'.
8 He took curds, milk, and the calf that he had prepared, and set it before them. He stood by them under the tree, and they ate.
Apre sa, li pran fwomaj, li pran lèt fre, li mete yo ansanm ak vyann yo te pare a, li sèvi mesye yo. Pandan yo t'ap manje, Abraram te kanpe bò kote yo anba pyebwa a.
9 They said to him, "Where is Sarah, your wife? He said, "See, in the tent."
Lèfini, yo mande l'. Kote Sara, madanm ou? Li reponn. Li la wi, anndan kay la.
10 Then he said, "I will certainly return to you at the time of life. Look, Sarah your wife will have a son." Sarah heard from the entrance of the tent, which was behind him.
Yonn nan vizitè yo di l'. Mwen gen pou m' tounen isit la, lè konsa lanne k'ap vini an. Lè sa a, Sara, madanm ou, ap gen tan gen yon pitit gason. Sara menm te kanpe nan papòt la dèyè Abraram, li t'ap koute.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. Sarah was past the age of childbearing.
Abraram ak Sara te fin vye granmoun. Yo te antre nan laj. Sara te sispann gen lalen li.
12 Sarah laughed within herself, saying, "After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my husband being old also?"
Sara tonbe ri nan kè l', li t'ap di. Koulye a, kalite jan m' fin vye a, ou kwè lide m' ta sou gason toujou! Epitou, mari mwen, mèt mwen, fin granmoun!
13 And God said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, 'Will I really bear a child when I am old?'
Seyè a di Abraram. Sa ki gen la a pou Sara ri konsa, pou l'ap di nan kè l'. Eske mwen kapab fè pitit ankò, jan m' fin vye a?
14 Is anything too difficult for God? At the set time I will return to you, at the time of life, and Sarah will have a son."
Bon. Eske gen kichòy ki twòp la a pou Mèt la fè? Sou dat mwen fikse a, m'a tounen pase wè ou ankò. Lè sa a, Sara va gen yon pitit gason.
15 But Sarah denied it, saying, "I did not laugh," for she was afraid. He said, "No, but you did laugh."
Sara te pè, li t'ap plede, li t'ap di. Mwen pa t' ri non! Men Seyè a di l'. Men wi, machè, ou te ri.
16 The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.
Mesye yo leve, yo pati, yo mete tèt sou Sodòm. Yo rive kote yo te ka voye je yo gade anba pou wè Sodòm. Abraram menm t'ap mache ak yo. Li t'ap kondi yo mete pi devan sou wout la.
17 And God said, "Will I hide from Abraham what I am about to do,
Seyè a di nan kè l'. Mwen pa kapab kache Abraram sa m' pral fè a.
18 seeing that Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him?
Pitit pitit li yo pral tounen yon gwo nasyon ki va gen pouvwa. Gremesi Abraram, tout nasyon sou latè pral jwenn benediksyon.
19 For I have made myself known to him, so that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of God, to do righteousness and justice, so that God may bring to Abraham that which he has spoken to him."
Mwen te chwazi l' pou l' te pase pitit li yo ak tout rès fanmi l' k'ap vin apre li yo lòd pou yo mache nan chemen Seyè a met devan yo, pou yo fè sa ki kòrèk ak sa ki dwat devan Bondye. Se konsa m'a fè pou li tout sa mwen te pwomèt li a.
20 And God said, "Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is so grievous,
Apre sa, Seyè a di. Se pa ti kras bagay y'ap di sou moun Sodòm ak moun Gomò, paske peche moun sa yo lou anpil.
21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done entirely according to the outcry which has come to me. And if not, I will know."
M'ap desann pou m' wè ak je mwen si sa y'ap di sou yo a se vre. Si se pa vre, m'a konnen.
22 The men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before God.
Mesye yo pati, yo mete tèt sou Sodòm. Men, Seyè a te rete ak Abraram.
23 Abraham drew near, and said, "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
Abraram pwoche bò kote Seyè a, li mande l'. Eske se vre ou pral touye inonsan yo ansanm ak koupab yo?
24 What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you sweep it away and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it?
Si gen senkant moun inonsan nan lavil la, èske w'ap detwi tout lavil la? Eske ou p'ap fè pa lavil la poutèt senkant inonsan sa yo?
25 Be it far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn't the Judge of all the earth do right?"
Aa! Pou di w'ap fè inonsan peri ak koupab? Se pa posib. Ou pa ka fè sa. Se lenjistis pou inonsan gen menm sò ak koupab. Non, sa pa ka fèt. Bondye k'ap jije tout moun sou tè a pa ka nan fè lenjistis.
26 And God said, "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake."
Seyè a reponn. Si mwen jwenn senkant inonsan nan lavil Sodòm, m'ap fè pa tout lavil la, poutèt senkant inonsan sa yo.
27 Abraham answered, "Look, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes.
Abraram pale ankò, li di. Eskize m' wi! Seyè, si m' penmèt mwen pale ankò. Se moun ase mwen ye, mwen pa gen dwa di ou anyen.
28 What if there will lack five of the fifty righteous? Will you destroy all the city for lack of five?" He said, "I will not destroy it, if I find forty-five there."
Men, si se karannsenk moun inonsan sèlman ou jwenn, èske ou pral detwi tout lavil la paske manke senk pou fè senkant lan? Seyè a reponn. Si mwen jwenn karannsenk inonsan sèlman, mwen p'ap detwi lavil la.
29 He spoke to him yet again, and said, "What if there are forty found there?" He said, "I will not do it for the forty's sake."
Abraram pale ankò, li di. Ou pa janm konnen, ka gen karant inonsan ase? Seyè a reponn. Si gen karant inonsan, mwen p'ap detwi lavil la.
30 He said, "Oh do not let the Lord be angry, and I will speak. What if there are thirty found there?" He said, "I will not do it, if I find thirty there."
Abraram di. Tanpri, Seyè, pa fache sou mwen non. M'ap di ou yon ti mo ankò. Ou pa janm konnen, ou ka jwenn trant inonsan ase nan lavil la. Seyè a reponn. Si mwen jwenn trant, m'ap fè pa lavil la.
31 He said, "Look, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord. What if there are twenty found there?" He said, "I will not destroy it for the twenty's sake."
Abraram di. Eskize m' wi, Seyè, si m' penmèt mwen pale toujou. Men, sipoze ou jwenn vin inonsan sèlman? Seyè a reponn li. Si mwen jwenn vin inonsan, m'ap fè pa lavil la.
32 He said, "Oh do not let the Lord be angry, and I will speak just once more. What if ten are found there?" He said, "I will not destroy it for the ten's sake."
Abraram di ankò. Tanpri, Seyè, pa fache sou mwen non. M'ap di yon dènye mo. Si ou jwenn dis inonsan ase? Seyè a reponn li. Si mwen jwenn dis inonsan, m'ap fè pa lavil la.
33 When he finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned to his place.
Apre li fin pale ak Abraram, Seyè a al fè wout li. Abraram menm tounen lakay li.
