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.
Siden aabenbarede HERREN sig for ham ved Mamres Lund, engang han sad i Teltdøren paa den hedeste Tid af Dagen.
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.
Da han saa op, fik han Øje paa tre Mænd, der stod foran ham. Saa snart han fik Øje paa dem, løb han dem i Møde fra Teltdøren, bøjede sig til Jorden
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.
og sagde: »Herre, hvis jeg har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, saa gaa ikke din Træl forbi!
4 Let it be brought please a little of water and wash feet your and support yourself under the tree.
Lad der blive hentet lidt Vand, saa I kan tvætte eders Fødder og hvile ud under Træet.
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.
Saa vil jeg bringe et Stykke Brød, for at I kan styrke eder; siden kan I drage videre — da eders Vej nu engang har ført eder forbi eders Træl!« De svarede: »Gør, som du siger!«
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.
Da skyndte Abraham sig ind i Teltet til Sara og sagde: »Tag hurtigt tre Maal fint Mel, ælt det og bag Kager deraf!«
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.
Saa ilede han ud til Kvæget, tog en fin og lækker Kalv og gav den til Svenden, og han tilberedte den i Hast.
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.
Derpaa tog han Surmælk og Sødmælk og den tilberedte Kalv, satte det for dem og gik dem til Haande under Træet, og de spiste.
9 And they said to him where? [is] Sarah wife your and he said there! in the tent.
Da sagde de til ham: »Hvor er din Hustru Sara?« Han svarede: »Inde i Teltet!«
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.
Saa sagde han: »Næste Aar ved denne Tid kommer jeg til dig igen, og saa har din Hustru Sara en Søn!« Men Sara lyttede i Teltdøren bag ved dem;
11 And Abraham and Sarah [were] old [having] come in days it had ceased to be to Sarah a way like women.
og da Abraham og Sara var gamle og højt oppe i Aarene, og det ikke mere gik Sara paa Kvinders Vis,
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.
lo hun ved sig selv og tænkte: »Skulde jeg virkelig føle Attraa, nu jeg er affældig, og min Herre er gammel?«
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.
Da sagde HERREN til Abraham: »Hvorfor ler Sara og tænker: Skulde jeg virkelig føde en Søn, nu jeg er gammel?
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.
Skulde noget være umuligt for Herren? Næste Aar ved denne Tid kommer jeg til dig igen, og saa har Sara en Søn!«
15 And she denied Sarah - saying not I laughed for - she was afraid and he said - In-deed you laughed.
Men Sara nægtede og sagde: »Jeg lo ikke!« Thi hun frygtede. Men han sagde: »Jo, du lo!«
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.
Saa brød Mændene op derfra hen ad Sodoma til, og Abraham gik med for at følge dem paa Vej.
17 And Yahweh he said ¿ [be] concealing [will] I from Abraham [that] which I [am] about to do.
Men HERREN sagde ved sig selv: »Skulde jeg vel dølge for Abraham, hvad jeg har i Sinde at gøre,
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.
da Abraham dog skal blive til et stort og mægtigt Folk, og alle Jordens Folk skal velsignes i ham?
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.
Jeg har jo udvalgt ham, for at han skal paalægge sine Børn og sine Efterkommere at vogte paa HERRENS Vej ved at øve Retfærdighed og Ret, for at HERREN kan give Abraham alt, hvad han har forjættet ham.«
20 And he said Yahweh [the] outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah for it is great and sin their that it is heavy exceedingly.
Da sagde HERREN: »Sandelig. Skriget over Sodoma og Gomorra er stort, og deres Synd er saare svar.
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.
Derfor vil jeg stige ned og se, om de virkelig har handlet saa galt, som det lyder til efter Skriget over dem, der har naaet mig — derom vil jeg have Vished!«
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)*)
Da vendte Mændene sig bort derfra og drog ad Sodoma til; men HERREN blev staaende foran Abraham.
23 And he drew near Abraham and he said ¿ also will you sweep away [the] righteous with [the] wicked.
Og Abraham traadte nærmere og sagde: »Vil du virkelig udrydde retfærdige sammen med gudløse?
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.
Maaske findes der halvtredsindstyve retfærdige i Byen; vil du da virkelig udrydde dem og ikke tilgive Stedet for de halvtredsindstyve retfærdiges Skyld, som findes derinde.
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.
Det være langt fra dig at handle saaledes: at ihjelslaa retfærdige sammen med gudløse, saa de retfærdige faar samme Skæbne som de gudløse — det være langt fra dig! Skulde den, der dømmer hele Jorden, ikke selv øve Ret?«
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.
Da sagde HERREN: »Dersom jeg finder halvtredsindstyve retfærdige i Sodoma, i selve Byen, vil jeg for deres Skyld tilgive hele Stedet!«
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].
Men Abraham tog igen til Orde: »Se, jeg har dristet mig til at tale til min Herre, skønt jeg kun er Støv og Aske!
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.
Maaske mangler der fem i de halvtredsindstyve retfærdige — vil du da ødelægge hele Byen for fems Skyld?« Han svarede: »Jeg vil ikke ødelægge Byen, hvis jeg finder fem og fyrretyve i den.«
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.
Men han blev ved at tale til ham: »Maaske findes der fyrretyve i den!« Han svarede: »For de fyrretyves Skyld vil jeg lade det være.«
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.
Men han sagde: »Min Herre maa ikke blive vred, men lad mig tale: Maaske findes der tredive i den!« Han svarede: »Jeg skal ikke gøre det, hvis jeg finder tredive i den.«
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.
Men han sagde: »Se, jeg har dristet mig til at tale til min Herre: Maaske findes de tyve i den!« Han svarede: »For de tyves Skyld vil jeg lade være at ødelægge den.«
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.
Men han sagde: »Min Herre maa ikke blive vred, men lad mig kun tale denne ene Gang endnu; maaske findes der ti i den!« Han svarede: »For de tis Skyld vil jeg lade være at ødelægge den.«
33 And he went Yahweh just as he had finished to speak to Abraham and Abraham he returned to place his.
Da nu HERREN havde talt ud med Abraham, gik han bort; og Abraham vendte tilbage til sin Bolig.
