Genesis 18
1 And he appeared to him Yahweh at [the] great trees of Mamre and he [was] sitting [the] opening of the tent when [the] heat of the day.
天正熱的時候，亞巴郎坐在帳幕門口，上主在瑪默勒橡樹林那裏，給他顯現出來。
2 And he lifted up eyes his and he saw and there! three men [were] standing with him and he saw and he ran to meet them from [the] opening of the tent and he bowed down [the] ground towards.
他舉目一望，見有三人站在對面。他一見就由帳幕門口跑去迎接他們，俯伏在地，
3 And he said Lord my if please I have found favor in view your may not please you pass by from with servant your.
說：「我主如果我蒙你垂愛，請不要由你僕人這裏走過去，
4 Let it be brought please a little of water and wash feet your and support yourself under the tree.
我叫人拿點水來，洗洗你們的腳，然後在樹下休息休息。
5 So let me bring a piece of bread and sustain heart your (after *L(S)*) you will pass on for since you have passed by at servant your and they said thus you will do just as you have said.
你們既然路過你僕人這裏，等我拿點餅來，吃點點心，然後再走。」他們答說：「就照你所說的做罷! 」
6 And he hurried Abraham the tent towards to Sarah and he said bring quickly three seahs flour fine flour knead [it] and make bread cakes.
亞巴郎趕快進入帳幕，到撒辣前說：「你快拿三斗細麵，和一和，作些餅。」
7 And to the herd he ran Abraham and he took a young one of [the] herd tender and good and he gave [it] to the servant and he hurried to prepare it.
遂又跑到牛群中，選了一頭又嫩又肥的牛犢，交給僕人，要他趕快煮好。
8 And he brought curd and milk and [the] young one of the herd which he had prepared and he set [it] before them and he [was] standing with them under the tree and they ate.
亞巴郎遂拿了凝乳和牛奶，及預備好了的牛犢，擺在他們面前；他們吃的時候，自己在樹下侍候。
9 And they said to him where? [is] Sarah wife your and he said there! in the tent.
他們對他說：「你的妻子撒辣在那裏﹖」他答說：「在帳幕裏。」
10 And he said certainly I will return to you about the time living and there! a son [will belong] to Sarah wife your and Sarah [was] listening [the] opening of the tent and it [was] behind him.
其中一位說：「明年此時我必回到你這裏，那時，你的妻子撒辣要有一個兒子。」辣其時正在那人背後的帳幕門口竊聽。
11 And Abraham and Sarah [were] old [having] come in days it had ceased to be to Sarah a way like women.
亞巴郎和撒辣都已年老，年紀很大，而且撒辣的月經早已停止。
12 And she laughed Sarah in inner being her saying after am worn out I has it be[longed]? to me pleasure and lord my he is old.
撒辣遂心裏竊笑說：「現在，我已衰老，同我年老的丈夫，還有這喜事嗎﹖」
13 And he said Yahweh to Abraham why? this did she laugh Sarah saying ¿ also really will I bear a child and I I am old.
上主對亞巴郎說：「撒辣為什麼笑﹖且說：像我這樣老，真的還能生育﹖
14 ¿ Is it [too] difficult for Yahweh anything to the appointed time I will return to you about the time living and [will belong] to Sarah a son.
為上主豈有難事﹖明年這時，我必要回到你這裏，那時撒辣必有一個兒子。」
15 And she denied Sarah - saying not I laughed for - she was afraid and he said - In-deed you laughed.
撒辣害怕了，否認說：「我沒有笑。」但是那位說：「不，你實在笑了。」
16 And they arose from there the men and they looked down on [the] face of Sodom and Abraham [was] walking with them to send off them.
後來那三人由那裏起身，望著索多瑪前行；亞巴郎送他們，也一同前行。
17 And Yahweh he said ¿ [be] concealing [will] I from Abraham [that] which I [am] about to do.
上主說：「我要作的事，豈能瞞著亞巴郎﹖
18 And Abraham certainly he will become a nation great and mighty and they will be blessed by him all [the] nations of the earth.
因為他要成為一強大而又興盛的民族，地上所有的民族，都要因他蒙受祝福；
19 For I have known him so that that he may command children his and household his after him and they will keep [the] way of Yahweh by doing righteousness and justice so that will bring Yahweh on Abraham [that] which he has spoken on him.
何況我揀選了他，是要他訓令自己的子孫和未來的家族，保持上主的正道，實行公義正道，好使上主能實現他對亞巴郎所許的事。」
20 And he said Yahweh [the] outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah for it is great and sin their that it is heavy exceedingly.
上主於是說：「控告索多瑪和哈摩辣的聲音實在很大，他們的罪惡實在深重!
21 I will go down please so I may see ¿ according to outcry its that has come to me have they done - completion and if not I will know.
我要下去看看，願意知道：是否他們所行的全如達到我前的呼聲一樣。」
22 And they turned away from there the men and they went Sodom towards (and Abraham *L(S)*) still [was] he standing before (Yahweh. *L(S)*)
三人中有二人轉身向索多瑪走去；亞巴郎卻仍立在上主面前。
23 And he drew near Abraham and he said ¿ also will you sweep away [the] righteous with [the] wicked.
亞巴郎近前來說：「你真要將義人同惡人一起消滅嗎﹖
24 Perhaps there [are] fifty righteous [people] in [the] midst of the city ¿ also will you sweep [it] away and not will you forgive? the place for [the] sake of fifty the righteous [people] who [are] in midst its.
假如城中有五十個義人，你還要消滅嗎﹖不為其中的那五十個義人，赦免那地方嗎﹖
25 Far be it to you from doing - according to the manner this to put to death [the] righteous with [the] wicked and it will be as the righteous [person] as the wicked [person] far be it to you ¿ [the] judge of all the earth not will he do justice.
你決不能如此行事，將義人同惡人一併誅滅；將義人如惡人一樣看待，你決不能! 審判全地的主，豈能不行公義﹖」
26 And he said Yahweh if I will find in Sodom fifty righteous [people] in [the] midst of the city and I will forgive all the place for sake of them.
上主答說：「假如我在索多瑪城中找出了五十個義人，為了他們我要赦免整個地方。」
27 And he answered Abraham and he said here! please I have undertaken to speak to [the] Lord and I [am] dust and ash[es].
亞巴郎接著說：「
28 Perhaps they will lack! fifty the righteous [people] five ¿ will you destroy for five all the city and he said not I will destroy [it] if I will find there forty and five.
我雖只是塵埃灰土，膽敢再對我主說：假如五十個義人中少了五個怎樣﹖你就為了少五個而毀滅全城嗎﹖」他答說：「假如我在那裏找到四十五個，我不毀滅。」
29 And he repeated again to speak to him and he said perhaps they will be found! there forty and he said not I will do [it] for sake of the forty.
亞巴郎再向他進言說：「假如在那裏找到四十個怎樣﹖」他答說：「為了這四十個我也不做這事。」
30 And he said may not please it burn to [the] Lord and let me speak perhaps they will be found! there thirty and he said not I will do [it] if I will find there thirty.
亞巴郎說：「求我主且勿動怒，容我再進一言：假如在那裏找到三十個怎樣﹖」他答說：「假如在那裏我找到三十個，我也不做這事。」
31 And he said here! please I have undertaken to speak to [the] Lord perhaps they will be found! there twenty and he said not I will destroy [it] for sake of the twenty.
亞巴郎說：「我再放膽對我主進一言：假如在那裏找到二十個怎樣﹖」他答說：「為了這二十個，我也不毀滅。」
32 And he said may not please it burn to [the] Lord and let me speak only this time perhaps they will be found! there ten and he said not I will destroy [it] for sake of the ten.
亞巴郎求：「求我主且勿動怒，容我最後一次進言：假如在那裏找到十個怎樣﹖」他答說：「為了這十個我也不毀滅。」
33 And he went Yahweh just as he had finished to speak to Abraham and Abraham he returned to place his.
上主向亞巴郎說完話就走了；亞巴郎也回家去了。
