< Genesis 18 >

1 And Yahweh appeared unto him among the oaks of Mamre, —as, he, was sitting at the opening of the tent in the heat of the day.
I KEA ae la o Iehova e ia ma na laau oka o Mamere: a noho iho la ia ma ka puka o ka halelewa, i ka manawa i wela mai ai ka la.
2 And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! three men, standing over against him, —so he looked and ran to meet them from the opening of the tent, and bowed himself to the earth;
Alawa ae la kona mau maka iluna, ike ae la, aia hoi, ku mai la na kanaka ekolu imua ona: a i kona ike ana aku, holo aku la ia mai ka puka o ka halelewa aku e halawai me lakou, a kulou iho la ia ma ka honua.
3 and said, —O My Lord! if, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, do not I pray thee pass on from thy servant.
I aku la ia, E kuu haku, ina i loaa ia'u ke alohaia imua o kou mau maka, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, mai hele wale aku oe mai kau kauwa aku.
4 Let there be fetched, I pray thee a little water, and bathe ye your feet, —and rest yourselves under the tree.
Ke noi aku nei au, i laweia mai kekahi wai iki e holoi i ko oukou mau wawae, a e hoomaha iho oukou malalo o ka laau.
5 And let me fetch a morsel of bread, and stay ye your heart, Afterwards, ye may pass on, For on this account, have ye passed by, over against your servant. And they said, Thus, shalt thou do as thou hast spoken.
E lawe mai no hoi au i wahi berena, a e hooluolu iho i ko oukou naau; a mahope iho oukou e hele aku ai; no ka mea, nolaila ko oukou hele ana mai i ko oukou kauwa, I mai la lakou. Me kau i olelo mai ai, pela oe e hana'i.
6 So Abraham hastened towards the tent unto Sarah, —and said, Hasten thou three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make hearth-cakes.
Wikiwiki ae la o Aberahama i ka hele iloko o ka halelewa io Sara la, i aku la, E hoomakaukau koke oe i ekolu sato palaoa wali; e hookawili a e pulehu i papaberena.
7 And unto the herd, ran Abraham, —and took a calf tender and good and gave unto the young man, and he hastened to make it ready.
Holo aku la o Aberahama i ka ohana bipi, lalau aku la i ka bipikeiki opiopio momona, haawi aku la i kekahi keiki, a wikiwiki iho la ia e kalua.
8 And he took butter and milk and the calf that he had made ready, and set before them, —while, he, was standing near them under the tree, they did eat.
Lalau aku ia i wahi bata a me ka waiu, a me ka bipikeiki ana i kalua ai, a kau aku la imua o lakou: a ku aku la ia ma o lakou la malalo o ka laau; a ai iho la lakou.
9 And they said unto him, As to Sarah thy wife… And he said Lo! [she is] in the tent.
Ninau mai la lakou ia ia, Auhea kau wahine, o Sara? I aku la ia, aia no iloko o ka halelewa.
10 And he said, I will, surely return, unto thee at the quickening season, —and lo! a son for Sarah thy wife. Now Sarah, was hearkening at the opening of the tent, it, being behind him.
Alaila, i mai la kela, Ho oiaio, e hoi hou mai ana au i keia manawa o kela makahiki, aia hoi, e loaa uanei ia Sara he keikikane. A lohe ae la o Sara ma ka puka o ka halelewa ma kona kua.
11 But Abraham and Sarah, were old, far gone in days, —it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
A o Aberahama laua o Sara, ua kahiko no laua, he nui ko laua mau la; a ua pau ia Sara ka mea a na wahine.
12 So then Sarah laughed within herself, saying: After I am past age, hath there come to me pleasure, my lord, also being old?
Nolaila, akaaka iho la o Sara iloko iho ona, i iho la, E olioli no anei au mahope o kuu wa luwahine, a ua elemakule hoi kuu haku?
13 And Yahweh said unto Abraham, —Wherefore now did Sarah laugh saying. Can it really and truly be that I should bear, seeing that I have become old?
Ninau mai la o Iehova ia Aberahama, No ko aha la i akaaka ai o Sara, i ka i ana, He oiaio anei, o hanau no wau i keiki i kuu wa luwahine?
14 Is anything, too wonderful for Yahweh? At the appointed time, I will return unto thee, at the quickening season and Sarah, shall have a son.
E hakalia anei kekahi mea ia Iehova? I ka wa i oleloia'i e hoi hou mai ana au i ou la, i keia manawa o kela makahiki, a e loaa ia Sara he keikikane.
15 And Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not, For she was afraid. And he said—Nay! but thou didst laugh!
Alaila hoole aku la o Sara, i aku la, Aole au i akaaka; no ka mea, makau iho la ia. I mai la kela, Aole, ua akaaka no oe.
16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked out over the face of Sodom, —Abraham also going with them to set them on their way.
Ku ae la ua mau kanaka la, nana aku la ma Sodoma; a hele pu o Aberahama me lakou e hookuu aku ia lakou.
17 Now, Yahweh, had said, —Am I going to hide from Abraham what I do,
I ae la o Iehova, E huna anei au ia Aberahama i ka'u mea e hana nei?
18 when, Abraham, shall surely become, a great and mighty nation, —and all the nations of the earth, shall be blessed in him?
No ka mea, e lilo io no auanei o Aberahama i lahuikanaka nui a ikaika hoi, a e pomaikai hoi na lahuikanaka a pau o ka honua ia ia.
19 For I have become his intimate friend, To the end that he may command his sons and his house after him, so shall they keep the way of Yahweh, by doing righteousness and justice. To the end that Yahweh may bring in for Abraham, what he hath spoken concerning him.
No ka mea, ke ike nei au ia ia, e kauoha aku no ia i kana poe keiki a me kona mau ohua mahope ona, i malama mai ai lakou i ka aoao o Iehova, a e hana lakou ma ka pono a me ka pololei; i hooili aku ai o Iehova maluna o Aberahama i ka mea ana i olelo ai nona.
20 So Yahweh said, The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah, because it hath become great, —And their sin, because it hath become exceeding grievous,
Olelo mai la o Iehova, Ua nui loa ka leo no Sodoma a me Gomora, ua kaumaha no hoi ko lakou hewa;
21 Let me go down, pray, and let me behold, whether according to their outcry which hath come in unto me, they have done altogether, And if not. I must know!
E iho ana au ilaila e ike, i like paha ka lakou hana ana me ka leo no ia wahi i hiki mai ai io'u nei; a i ole paha, o ike auanei hoi au.
22 And the men turned from thence, and went their way, towards Sodom, —but, Yahweh was yet standing before Abraham.
Huli ae la ua mau kanaka la i na maka o laua mailaila aku, a hele aku la i Sodoma: aka, ku iho la o Aberahama imua o Iehova.
23 So then Abraham drew near and said, Wilt thou really sweep away, the righteous with the lawless?
Neenee aku la o Aberahama a kokoke, i aku la, E luku pu anei oe i ka poe pono me ka poe hewa?
24 Peradventure there are fifty righteous, in the midst of the city, Wilt thou really sweep away, and not spare the place, for the sake of the fifty righteous which are therein?
Ina paha he kanalima na kanaka pono maloko o ua kulanakauhale la, e luku anei oe ia wahi, aole no o malama ia wahi no ka poe pono he kanalima maloko?
25 Far be it from thee! to do after this manner. to put to death the righteous with the lawless! Then should righteous and lawless be alike, Far be it from thee! Shall, the Judge of all the earth not do justice?
Aole loa oe e hana pela, ke pepehi pu i ka poe pono me ka poe hewa: i like pu ai ka poe pono me ka poe hewa, aole loa oe pela: aole anei o hana pono ka lunakanawai o ka honua a pau?
26 And Yahweh said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous in the midst of the city, then will I spare all the place for their sake.
I mai la o Iehova, Ina loaa ia'u ma Sodoma na kanaka pono he kanalima maloko o ke kulanakauhale, alaila au e malama ai ia wahi a pau no lakou.
27 And Abraham responded and said, —Behold I pray thee I have ventured to speak unto My Lord, though I am dust and ashes:
Olelo aku la o Aberahama, i aku la, Eia hoi, ua hoomaka no wau e olelo aku i ka Haku, owau he lepo wale no, a me ka lehu:
28 Peradventure there may lack, of the fifty righteous, five, Wilt thou destroy for five all the city? And he said, I will not destroy, if I find there forty and five.
A i emi mai na mea elima o ka poe pono he kanalima; e luku anei oe ia kulanakauhale a pau no ia mau mea elima? I mai ia kela, A i loaa ia'u ilaila he kanaha a me kumamalima, aole au e luku aku.
29 And he added, yet once more, to speak unto him, and said, Peradventure there may be found there—forty. And he said—I will not do it, for the sake of the forty.
Olelo hou aku la oia ia ia, i aku la, Ina paha he kanaha ka poe i loaa ilaila? i mai la kela, Aole au o hana aku ia mea, ke kanaha lakou.
30 And he said Let it not, I pray thee, be vexing to My Lord, but let me speak, Peradventure there may be found there—thirty And he said, I will not to it, if I find there—thirty.
I aku la hoi oia, Ea, a i huhu ole mai ka Haku, e olelo aku no au: Ina paha he kanakolu ka poe i loaa ilaila? I mai la kela, Aole au e hana ia mea, ke loaa ia'u he kanakolu ilaila.
31 And he said Behold, I pray thee, I have ventured to speak unto My Lord, Peradventure there may be found there—twenty. And he said I will not destroy it, for the sake of the twenty.
I aku la oia, Aia hoi, na hoomaka iho nei au e olelo aku i ka Haku: Ina paha ho iwakalua ka poe i loaa ilaila? I mai la kola, aole au o luku aku, ko iwakalua lakou.
32 And he said, Let it not, I pray thee, be vexing to My Lord, but let me speak only this once, Peradventure there may be found there—ten. And he said, I will not destroy [it], for the sake of the ten!
I aku la hoi oia, A i ole e huhu mai ka Haku, a hookahi wale no a'u olelo e koe: Ina paha he umi ka poe i loaa ilaila? I mai la kela, Aole au e luku aku, ke umi lakou.
33 And Yahweh went his way, when he had made an end. of speaking unto Abraham, —Abraham, also returned to his place.
A pau ae la ka Iehova kamailio ana mo Aberahama, hele aku la o Iehova; a hoi hou mai la o Aberahama i kona wahi.
