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.
Alò, SENYÈ a te parèt a li nan bwadchenn Marmré yo pandan li te chita akote pòt tant la nan chalè jounen 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,
Lè li te leve zye li pou te gade, men twa mesye ki te kanpe anfas li. Lè li te wè yo li te kouri sòti nan pòt tant lan pou rankontre yo, e li te bese tèt li atè.
3 and said, "My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please do not go on past your servant.
Li te di: “SENYÈ mwen, si koulye a mwen vin twouve favè nan zye nou, souple, pa pase lwen sèvitè nou an.
4 Now let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
Souple, kite yon ti dlo ta pote pou lave pye nou, e repoze nou anba pyebwa 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."
Konsa, mwen va pote yon moso pen, pou nou kapab rafrechi nou menm; apre sa nou kapab kontinye, depi nou fin vizite sèvitè nou an.” Epi yo te di: “Fè sa ke 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."
Epi Abraham te kouri antre nan tant lan vè Sarah, e te di: “Fè vit, prepare twa mezi farin fen, byen bat li, e fè gato 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.
Abraham osi te kouri nan pak bèf, li te pran yon jenn bèf byen mou, byen chwazi, e li te bay li a sèvitè li, ki te fè vit pou prepare li.
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.
Li te pran bòl lèt kaye yo avèk lèt fre ak jèn bèf ke li te prepare, e te plase li devan yo; epi li te kanpe bò kote yo anba pyebwa a pandan yo t ap manje.
9 They said to him, "Where is Sarah, your wife? He said, "See, in the tent."
Alò, yo te di li: “Kote Sarah, madanm ou?” Epi li te di: “Nan tant lan”.
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.
Epi li te di: “Anverite, mwen va retounen bò kote ou nan lè sa ane pwochèn; epi gade byen, Sarah, madanm ou va gen tan gen yon fis.” Epi Sarah t ap koute bò kote pòt la, ki te dèyè li a.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. Sarah was past the age of childbearing.
Alò, Abraham ak Sarah te vye, byen avanse nan laj. Sarah te depase laj pou fè pitit.
12 Sarah laughed within herself, saying, "After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my husband being old also?"
Sarah te ri a tèt li, e te di: “Lè m gen tan fin vye a, èske m ap gen plezi, e mari mwen ki vye tou?”
13 And God said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, 'Will I really bear a child when I am old?'
Epi SENYÈ a te di Abraham: “Poukisa Sara te ri, e t ap di: ‘Èske vrèman mwen va fè yon pitit lè mwen 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."
“Èske gen anyen ki twò difisil pou SENYÈ a? Nan lè chwazi a, mwen va retounen a nou menm, nan lè sa a, lane pwochèn, e Sarah va gen yon fis.”
15 But Sarah denied it, saying, "I did not laugh," for she was afraid. He said, "No, but you did laugh."
Sarah te demanti sa, e te di: “Mwen pa t ri non”; paske li te pè. Epi Li te di: “Non, men ou te ri.”
16 The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.
Alò, mesye yo te leve la e yo te gade pi ba vè Sodome; epi Abraham t ap mache avèk yo pou voye yo ale.
17 And God said, "Will I hide from Abraham what I am about to do,
SENYÈ a te di: “Èske Mwen kab kache Abraham sa ke M prè pou M 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?
paske Abraham va anverite vin yon gran nasyon byen fò, e nan li, tout nasyon yo va beni?
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."
Paske Mwen te chwazi li pou l kapab kòmande pitit li yo avèk lakay li, pou kenbe chemen SENYÈ a, pou fè ladwati avèk jistis, pou SENYÈ a kapab fè rive sou Abraham, sa ke Li te pale de li a.”
20 And God said, "Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is so grievous,
Epi SENYÈ a te di: “Gwo kri kont Sodome avèk Gomorrhe a byen gran, e peche pa yo grav depase.
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."
Mwen va desann koulye a, pou wè si yo te fè tout bagay selon gwo kri sa a, ki te vin jwenn Mwen an; epi si se pa sa, m ap konnen.”
22 The men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before God.
Alò, mesye yo te vire kite la, e te ale vè Sodome, pandan Abraham toujou kanpe devan SENYÈ a.
23 Abraham drew near, and said, "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
Abraham te vin pwoche, e te di L: “Èske Ou vrèman va fè disparèt moun dwat yo ansanm avèk mechan 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?
Sipoze ke gen senkant moun ki dwat nan vil la; èske vrèman Ou va fè l disparèt, e pa prezève kote a pou koz a senkant moun dwat ki ladann 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?"
“Se lwen Ou pou Ou ta fè yon bagay konsa, pou touye moun dwat yo avèk mechan yo pou dwat yo avèk mechan yo vin trete menm jan. Se lwen Ou menm! Èske Jij sou tout latè a p ap aji avèk jistis?”
26 And God said, "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake."
Epi SENYÈ a te di: “Si Mwen twouve nan Sodome, senkant moun dwat nan vil la, alò, Mwen va prezève tout pou koz a yo menm.”
27 Abraham answered, "Look, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes.
Epi Abraham te reponn: “Alò gade byen, mwen te tante pale ak SENYÈ a, malgre mwen pa plis ke pousyè avèk sann.
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."
Vin sipoze ke senkant dwat yo manke senk, èske Ou va detwi tout vil la akoz senk lan?” Epi li te di: “Mwen p ap detwi li si Mwen twouve karant-senk ki 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."
Epi li te pale ankò, e te di: “Sipoze ke gen karant ki twouve la?” Epi li te di: “Mwen p ap fè li pou koz a karant lan.”
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."
Alò li te di: “O ke SENYÈ a pa vin fache avè m, e mwen va pale; sipoze se trant ki twouve la?” Epi Li te di: “Mwen p ap fè li si Mwen twouve trant lan.”
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."
Epi li te di: “Koulye a byen gade, mwen te tante pale avèk SENYÈ a; sipoze se ven ki twouve la?” Epi li te di: “Mwen p ap detwi li pou koz a ven yo.”
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."
Alò li te di: “O ke Senyè a pa vin fache avè m! M ap pale sèl fwa sa; sipoze ke se dis ki twouve la?” Epi li te di: “Mwen p ap detwi li pou koz a dis yo.”
33 When he finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned to his place.
Depi lè ke li fin pale ak Abraham nan, SENYÈ a te pati, e Abraham te retounen nan kote pa li.
