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.
And Jehovah appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.
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.
And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him. And when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,
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.
and said, My lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.
4 Let it be brought please a little of water and wash feet your and support yourself under the tree.
Let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
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.
And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and strengthen ye your heart. After that ye shall pass on, inasmuch as ye came to your servant. And they said, Do so as thou have said.
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.
And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.
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.
And Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it to the servant. And he hastened to dress it.
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.
And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them. And he stood by them under the tree, and they ate.
9 And they said to him where? [is] Sarah wife your and he said there! in the tent.
And they said to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
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.
And he said, I will certainly return to thee when the season comes round, and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.
11 And Abraham and Sarah [were] old [having] come in days it had ceased to be to Sarah a way like women.
Now Abraham and Sarah were old, and well stricken in age. It had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
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.
And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I have become old shall I have pleasure, my lord also being old?
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.
And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I who am old certainly bear a child?
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.
Is anything too hard for Jehovah? At the set time I will return to thee, when the season comes round, and Sarah shall have a son.
15 And she denied Sarah - saying not I laughed for - she was afraid and he said - In-deed you laughed.
Then Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh, for she was afraid. And he said, No, but thou did laugh.
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.
And the men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. And Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 And Yahweh he said ¿ [be] concealing [will] I from Abraham [that] which I [am] about to do.
And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham that which I do,
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.
since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
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.
For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice, to the end that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham that which he has spoken of him.
20 And he said Yahweh [the] outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah for it is great and sin their that it is heavy exceedingly.
And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,
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.
I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which comes to me. And if not, I will know.
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)*)
And the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham yet stood before Jehovah.
23 And he drew near Abraham and he said ¿ also will you sweep away [the] righteous with [the] wicked.
And Abraham drew near, and said, Will thou consume righteous men with wicked men?
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.
Perhaps there are fifty righteous men within the city. Will thou consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous men that are in it?
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.
That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay a righteous man with a wicked man, that so the righteous man should be as the wicked man. Far be it from thee. Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
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.
And Jehovah said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous men within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake.
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].
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to the Lord, who am but dust and ashes.
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.
Perhaps there shall lack five of the fifty righteous men. Will thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I find there forty-five.
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.
And he spoke to him yet again, and said, Perhaps there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for the forty's sake.
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.
And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Perhaps there shall be thirty found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
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.
And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to the Lord. Perhaps there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the twenty's sake.
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.
And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once. Perhaps ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten's sake.
33 And he went Yahweh just as he had finished to speak to Abraham and Abraham he returned to place his.
And Jehovah went his way as soon as he had left off conversing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
