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.
Yawe abimelaki Abrayami pene ya banzete minene ya Mamire, wana avandaki na ekotelo ya ndako na ye ya kapo, na moyi makasi ya midi.
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;
Tango Abrayami atombolaki miso, amonaki mibali misato pene na ye. Mpe tango kaka amonaki bango, atelemaki wuta na ndako na ye ya kapo mpe akendeki mbangu mpo na kokutana na bango; bongo agumbamaki kino na mabele.
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.
Alobaki: — Nabondeli bino, bankolo na ngai, soki nazwi ngolu na miso bino, boleka mosali na bino te.
4 Let there be fetched, I pray thee a little water, and bathe ye your feet, —and rest yourselves under the tree.
Tika ete namemela bino mwa mayi mpo ete bokoka kosukola makolo mpe bopema na se ya nzete oyo.
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.
Tika ete namemela bino mwa eloko ya kolia mpo ete bozwa lisusu makasi na nzoto; bongo bokokoba mobembo na bino, pamba te ezali mpo na yango nde boleki epai na ngai mosali na bino. Bazongisaki: — Ezali malamu, sala ndenge olobi.
6 So Abraham hastened towards the tent unto Sarah, —and said, Hasten thou three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make hearth-cakes.
Abrayami akotaki na lombangu na ndako na ye ya kapo mpe alobaki na Sara: « Kamata katini misato ya farine mpe sala bagato na lombangu. »
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.
Mpe Abrayami apotaki mbangu na lopango ya bibwele, azwaki mwana ngombe ya mafuta mpe apesaki yango na mosali na ye mpo ete alamba yango noki-noki.
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.
Azwaki mafuta ya ngombe, miliki mpe mosuni oyo alambaki, mpe atiaki yango liboso na bango. Abrayami atelemaki pembeni na bango, na se ya nzete, wana bazalaki kolia.
9 And they said unto him, As to Sarah thy wife… And he said Lo! [she is] in the tent.
Sima, batunaki ye: — Wapi Sara, mwasi na yo? Abrayami azongisaki: — Azali na ndako.
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.
Bongo moko kati na bango alobaki: — Solo, na mobu oyo ezali koya, kaka na eleko oyo, nakozonga epai na yo, mpe Sara, mwasi na yo, akozala na mwana mobali. Nzokande, Sara ayokaki maloba wana na ekotelo ya ndako ya kapo, na sima ya Abrayami.
11 But Abraham and Sarah, were old, far gone in days, —it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
Abrayami mpe Sara bazalaki mibange, mpo ete bakomaki na mibu ebele penza mpe Sara azalaki lisusu na makoki te ya kobota.
12 So then Sarah laughed within herself, saying: After I am past age, hath there come to me pleasure, my lord, also being old?
Sara asekaki mpe amilobelaki: « Awa nasili konuna boye, nakoki lisusu koyoka posa ya mobali? Kutu nkolo na ngai akomi mpe mobange! »
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?
Yawe alobaki na Abrayami: — Mpo na nini Sara aseki mpe alobi: « Nakoki solo kobota mwana awa nasili kokoma mobange? »
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.
Boni, ezali na eloko oyo Yawe akoki kolembana? Na mobu oyo ezali koya, na tango oyo ekatama, kaka na eleko oyo, nakozonga epai na yo, mpe Sara akozala na mwana mobali.
15 And Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not, For she was afraid. And he said—Nay! but thou didst laugh!
Sara abangaki; boye awanganaki: — Naseki te. Kasi Yawe alobaki: — Ezali ya solo, oseki.
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.
Tango mibali yango batelemaki mpo na kokoba mobembo na bango na Sodome, Abrayami akendeki kotika bango na nzela.
17 Now, Yahweh, had said, —Am I going to hide from Abraham what I do,
Yawe amilobelaki: « Boni, nakoki solo kobombela Abrayami likambo oyo nalingi kosala?
18 when, Abraham, shall surely become, a great and mighty nation, —and all the nations of the earth, shall be blessed in him?
Solo, Abrayami akokoma ekolo monene mpe ya nguya, mpe bato ya bikolo nyonso ya mabele bakomipambola mpo na ye.
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.
Pamba te naponaki ye mpo ete ateya bana na ye mpe ndako na ye sima na ye ete bayeba kobatela nzela ya Yawe na kozalaka na etamboli ya malamu mpe ya sembo; na bongo nde, Ngai Yawe, nakokokisela Abrayami elaka oyo napesaki ye. »
20 So Yahweh said, The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah, because it hath become great, —And their sin, because it hath become exceeding grievous,
Bongo Yawe alobaki: « Nayoki sango ete mabe ya bato ya Sodome mpe ya Gomore eleki ndelo, mpe masumu na bango eleki mingi penza.
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!
Nakokita mpo na kotala soki makambo oyo bazali kosala ekokani na oyo Ngai nayoki. Soki ezali bongo te, nakoyeba. »
22 And the men turned from thence, and went their way, towards Sodom, —but, Yahweh was yet standing before Abraham.
Mibali yango babalukaki mpe bakendeki na Sodome, kasi Abrayami atelemaki kaka liboso ya Yawe.
23 So then Abraham drew near and said, Wilt thou really sweep away, the righteous with the lawless?
Bongo Abrayami apusanaki mpe alobaki: — Boni, Nkolo na ngai, okoboma penza elongo moto ya sembo mpe moto mabe?
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?
Soki bato ya sembo bazali tuku mitano kati na engumba, okoboma bango kaka? Okolimbisa engumba yango te mpo na bato ya sembo tuku mitano oyo bazali kati na yango?
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?
Te, okoki kosala likambo ya boye te! Okoki te koboma elongo bato ya sembo mpe bato mabe, okoki kosala ndenge moko te na bato ya sembo mpe na bato mabe. Okoki kosala bongo te! Boni, Mosambisi ya mokili mobimba akosambisa na bosembo te?
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.
Yawe azongisaki: — Soki nakuti na Sodome bato ya sembo tuku mitano, nakolimbisa engumba mobimba mpo na bango.
27 And Abraham responded and said, —Behold I pray thee I have ventured to speak unto My Lord, though I am dust and ashes:
Abrayami alobaki lisusu: — Solo, nazali na ngai moto pamba mpe putulu, kasi limbisa ete nameka kosolola na Nkolo na ngai.
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.
Bongo soki motango na bato ya sembo ezali tuku minei na mitano? Boni, okobebisa engumba mobimba mpo na bato mitano oyo bazangi? Yawe azongisaki: — Soki nakuti bato ya sembo tuku minei na mitano, nakobebisa yango te.
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.
Abrayami alobaki na Ye lisusu: — Bongo soki bato ya sembo bazali kaka tuku minei? Azongisaki: — Soki bazali kaka tuku minei, nakobebisa yango te.
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.
Bongo Abrayami alobaki: — Tika ete Nkolo na ngai asilika te soki nakobi koloba: Bongo soki bato ya sembo bazali kaka tuku misato? Azongisaki: — Soki nakuti bato ya sembo tuku misato, nakobebisa yango te.
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.
Abrayami alobaki: —Awa nameki kosolola na Nkolo, boni, okosala nini soki bato ya sembo bazali kaka tuku mibale? Azongisaki: — Mpo na bato ya sembo tuku mibale, nakobebisa engumba te.
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!
Bongo Abrayami alobaki: — Tika ete Nkolo na ngai asilika te, pamba te nazali koloba mpo na mbala ya suka: Bongo soki bato ya sembo bazali kaka zomi? Azongisaki: — Mpo na bato ya sembo zomi, nakobebisa engumba te.
33 And Yahweh went his way, when he had made an end. of speaking unto Abraham, —Abraham, also returned to his place.
Sima na Yawe kosolola na Abrayami, akendeki; mpe Abrayami azongaki na ndako na ye.
