Genesis 18
1 Yahweh appeared to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent doorway in the heat of the day.
Mamre munna gangpi phung komma chun Pakai chu Abraham henga ahung kilah in ahi. Nikhat hi nichangsat pettah hin Abraham chu aponbuh maiya ana touvin ahi.
2 He looked up and, behold, he saw three men standing across from him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door and bowed low to the ground.
Ama ahung dahdoh in ahile akomma mithum ana din amun ahi. Amaho chu amu phat in ama alhai jel in amaho lemnan tol ah abohkhup in ahi.
3 He said, “Lord, if I have found favor in your eyes, do not pass by and leave your servant.
Chuin Abraham'in “Ka Pakai,” tin adonbut in, “Nanghon pha nasah uleh phat chomkhat naki ngah thei diu ham.
4 Let a little water be brought, wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
Nakeng sil na ding'u kahin choi kah in hiche thing limnoiya hin ana kicholdo ta diu vin.
5 Let me bring a little food, so that you may refresh yourselves. Afterwards you can go your way, since you have come to your servant.” They replied, “Do as you have said.”
Chule nang hon na lhacha pa hi khoto na neitah a nei hungvil ngal'u ahi leh na kholyin na mano masang in na tha kido na ding un naneh ding'u them khat nahin gon peh ing nge, ama hon aphai, nasei bang chun hin bol tan ati uve.
6 Then Abraham quickly went into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Hurry, get three seahs of fine flour, knead it, and make bread.”
Hichun Abraham chu apon buh kom langa alhai jel'in Sarah kom ah asei tan ahi, “Kinloi tah in changbong ate na dimthum tedoh in lang twi to mehnang in, chule changlhah hin keng loi tem in,” aga tin ahi.
7 Then Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf that was tender and good, and gave it to the servant, and he hurried to prepare it.
Hichun Abraham'in gancha ho kivah na lang ajon in bongnou athao pen asohte ho apen, gangtah in ahin hon sah in ahi.
8 He took curds and milk, and the calf that had been prepared, and placed the food before them, and he stood by them under the tree while they ate.
An neh ding ho amin phat in Abraham'in bongnoi ha le bongnoi toh chule bongnou sa ahon u-chu amaho angsung ah aneh diuvin aga lui peh in amaho anneh laisen ama jong thinglim a chun ading jinge.
9 They said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” He replied, “There, in the tent.”
Chuin ama hon Abraham jah'a “Na loinu Sarah hoilam a um aham?” atiu leh Abraham'in ponbuh sunga aum nai ati.
10 He said, “I will certainly return to you in the springtime, and see, Sarah your wife will have a son.” Sarah was listening in the tent doorway, which was behind him.
Chuin amaho lah a khat chun aseiyin, “Keima hi khovei tulai phat mama le kahung ki nungle kit ding ahi, vetan hiche phatteng chule na inneipi Sarah khun chapa khat ana hin ding ahi,” ati chu anunga ponbuh sunglam a um Sarah chun angai lhin ahi.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, very advanced in age, and Sarah had passed the age when women could bear children.
Abraham le Sarah chu atahsa kum lhon chu atam gel lhon tan, chule Sarah jong nao nei phat kum akhel ahi tai.
12 So Sarah laughed to herself, saying to herself, “After I am worn-out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?”
Hichun Sarah guhthim in ama le ama aki nuisat in hitin aseiye, “Iti hithei ding ham, kei tobang aching sa numeiyin kipana thilpha kamu ding ham, ka jipa jeng jong akum atam lheh tai,” ati.
13 Yahweh said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, 'Will I really bear a child, when I am old'?
Pathen in Abraham jah achun aseiye, “Ipi dinga Sarah khu nuiya ka teh nunga keiman cha kanei tahbeh mong ding hi nam,” ati ham?
14 Is anything too hard for Yahweh? At the time appointed by me, in the spring, I will return to you. About this time next year Sarah will have a son.”
Pakai Pathen ading'a ipi ahahsa umham? keima khovei tulai phat na kahung kit ding chule Sarah in cha pasal khat anei ding ahi.”
15 Then Sarah denied it and said, “I did not laugh,” for she was afraid. He replied, “No, you did laugh.”
Chuphat in Sarah chu atija tan hichun Sarah in aseilep tan, “Keima ka nuipoi” atin ahin la, “Pathen in adonbut in nangma na nui nai,” ati.
16 Then the men arose to leave and looked down toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.
Hichun pasal thum hochu an aneh jou un ading doh un Sodom lang chu galdot un, ama hon adalha uvin, Abraham chu amaho thah doh ding tin lampi gei aga kilhonpin ahi.
17 But Yahweh said, “Should I hide from Abraham what I am about to do,
Pathen chun aseiye, “Keiman katoh gon hohi Abraham kom a kasei lou ding ham?” ati.
18 since Abraham will indeed become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him?
Ajeh chu Abraham chu len tah le nam hattah chule vannoi ja nam jouse Abraham jeh a phatthei chang ding ahi ngal'in,
19 For I have chosen him so that he may instruct his children and his household after him to keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice, so that Yahweh may bring upon Abraham what he has said to him.”
Chule achapate le ama ban a ainsung mi aman thu apeh a, chutia chu adih abol theiyu va, thu adih a atan thei na dinguva Pakai lampi ajui thei uva, chuteng le Pakaiyin Abraham chung chang'a akitep nasa chu ahin molso theina dinga ama hi kilheng doh ahiti la ka henan,” ati.
20 Then Yahweh said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great, and because their sin is so serious,
Hichun Pathen in Abraham ahoulimpi in “Sodom le Gomorrah douna thu kisei asangval tan chule achonset nau jong ase val tai,” ati.
21 I will now go down there and see the outcry against her that has come to me, whether they have really done it. If not, I will know.”
Keima che suh ing kating ka henga thu hung kisei dungjuiya hi abol cheh'u ham, ahilou ham gapho chen inge,” ati.
22 So the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before Yahweh.
Hichun miho chu chukom akon in aki heiyun Sodom lang chu ajon un ache tauve, ahin lah Abraham chu Pakai masanga chun ading chah den jing in ahi.
23 Then Abraham approached and said, “Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
Abraham'in Pathen chu anailut in hitin aseiye, “Nangman michonpha atheng chule mi phalou agilouho aboncha nasuh mang tha ding ham,” ati.
24 Perhaps there are fifty righteous within the city. Will you sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous that are there?
Ijem tin khopi sunga chun michonpha som nga bang um ta le, asunga michonpha som nga ho jal'a jong chu akhomun chu khen dehlou hela nasuh mang jeng ding ham?
25 Far be it from you to do such a thing, killing the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be treated the same as the wicked. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?”
Nang dinga hitobang thil nabol a, michonpha le migilou agoma natha cheh a, michonpha le migilou akibah ding chu bolda hel jengle chun kati! Leiset thutan pan adih a atan lou ding ham?” atile.
26 Yahweh said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place for their sake.”
Hichun Pathen'in adonbut in, “keiman mi somnga thudih thilpha bol Sodom khopi a kamu doh theile, amaho jal'a chu khopi kahuhdoh ding ahi.”
27 Abraham answered and said, “Look, I have undertaken to speak to my Lord, even though I am only dust and ashes!
Hichun Abraham'in asei kit in, “Ka Pakai nangman neiphal peh thei dingle kasei ban ho kajom nom in keima vang bohse vutvai tobang kahin,
28 What if there are five less than fifty righteous? Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five?” Then he said, “I will not destroy it, if I find there forty-five.”
Ijem tin mi somli le nga tobang chonpha mitheng mi som nga sanga lhomjo namu le amaho jeh'a chu khopi hi nasuh mang ding ham, mi nga lhahsam jeh chun, Pathenin adonbut in, Keiman hiche khopi a hi mi som li le nga kamu doh jouva ahile sumang ponge,” ati.
29 He spoke to him yet again, and said, “What if there are forty found there?” He replied, “I will not do it for the forty's sake.”
Hichun Abraham'in adeichat angaichat avel in aseiyin, “Ijem tin mi som li bou umta le,” atin chuin Pakaiyin ahoulimpi kit in, “Keiman amaho mi somli jeh a chu kasuh manglou hel ding ahi,” ati.
30 He said, “Please do not be angry, Lord, so I may speak. Perhaps thirty will be found there.” He replied, “I will not do it, if I find thirty there.”
Ka Pakai lungset tah in lung hanglou jenin, Abraham atao kit leovin, neiphal peh theile chun kasei nom na laiye, Ijemtin mi som thum muta le chun,” atile Pakai Pathen in ahoulimpi in “Keiman mi somthum hijong le ka suhmang lou ding ahi,” ati.
31 He said, “Look, I have undertaken to speak to my Lord! Perhaps twenty will be found there.” He replied, “I will not destroy it for the twenty's sake.”
Hichun Abraham'in aseikit in, “Nangman neiphal peh theile ka thusei hi ka jom nome, Ijem tin mi som ni hi jongle atile,” Pakaiyin adonbut in, “Mi somni kamu jongle ka suhmang lou ding ahi,” ati.
32 He said, “Please do not be angry, Lord, and I will speak this one last time. Perhaps ten will be found there.” Then he said, “I will not destroy it for the ten's sake.”
Abraham'in achaina in asei peh tan, “Ka Pakai Pathen nei lung han hih beh in lang, khatvei neisei sah kit le tia katao ahi, mi som muta le chun” hichun Pathen in aseiye, “Mi som kamu doh jongle kasuh manglou ding ahi,” ati.
33 Yahweh went on his way as soon as he had finished talking with Abraham, and Abraham returned home.
Hichun Abraham henga athusei dingin aboncha aseisoh phat'in Pakai chu ache tai; Abraham vang chu a in mun lam a ahung kile kit tai.
