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.
Utuma Abrahaam guyyaa saafaadhaan qilxuu Mamree bira balbala dunkaana isaa dura taaʼee jiruu Waaqayyo isatti mulʼate.
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.
Abrahaamis ol ilaalee namoota isa bira dhadhaabatan sadii arge. Innis akkuma isaan argeen balbala dunkaana isaa duraa kaʼee isaan simachuudhaaf itti fiige; hamma lafa gaʼuttis gad jedhee harka fuudhe.
3 He said, “Lord, if I have found favor in your eyes, do not pass by and leave your servant.
Innis akkana jedheen; “Gooftaa ko, yoo ani si duratti fudhatama argadhe, garbicha kee bira hin darbin.
4 Let a little water be brought, wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
Bishaan xinnoo isiniif haa fidan; miilla dhiqadhaatii muka kana jala boqodhaa.
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.”
Erga isin gara garbicha keessanii dhuftanii, ani akka isin dadhabbii baatanii karaa keessan itti fuftaniif waan isin nyaattan isiniifin kenna.” Isaanis, “Akkuma jette sana godhi” jedhanii deebisan.
6 Then Abraham quickly went into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Hurry, get three seahs of fine flour, knead it, and make bread.”
Kanaafuu Abrahaam dafee Saaraatti dunkaana seenee, “Dafii daakuu bullaaʼaa safartuu sadii sukkuumiitii maxinoo tolchi” jedheen.
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.
Innis gara saawwaniitti fiigee jabbii gabbatee itti tole tokko filatee hojjetaa tokkotti kenne; hojjetaan sunis qopheessuuf ariifate.
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.
Abrahaamis itittuu fi aannan, foon jabbii qopheeffame sanas geessee isaanii dhiʼeesse; yeroo isaan nyaachaa turanittis Abrahaam muka tokko jala isaan bira dhaabachaa ture.
9 They said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” He replied, “There, in the tent.”
Isaanis, “Niitiin kee Saaraan eessa jirti?” jedhanii isa gaafatan. Innis, “Kuunnoo dunkaana keessa jirti” jedheen.
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.
Isaan keessaa tokko, “Ani dhugumaan bara dhufu keessa yeroo akkanaatti deebiʼee gara kee nan dhufa; niitiin kee Saaraanis ilma ni deessi” jedhe. Yeroo sana Saaraan balbala dunkaanaa kan isa duubaan jiru keessaan dhaggeeffachaa turte.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, very advanced in age, and Sarah had passed the age when women could bear children.
Abrahaamii fi Saaraan umuriin isaanii dheeratee dulloomanii turan; Saaraanis umurii itti mucaa daʼuu dandeessu dabartee turte.
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?”
Kanaafuu Saaraan, “Ani erga jaaree bututee, gooftaan koos erga dulloomee booddee, gammachuu kana qabaachuu nan dandaʼaa?” jettee of keessatti kolfite.
13 Yahweh said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, 'Will I really bear a child, when I am old'?
Kana irratti Waaqayyo Abrahaamiin akkana jedhe; “Saaraan maaliif, ‘Ani ergan dulloomee booddee amma dhugumaan mucaa nan daʼaa?’ jettee kolfite?
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.”
Wanni Waaqayyoof hin dandaʼamne tokko iyyuu jiraa? Ani bara dhufu keessa yeroo murteeffametti deebiʼee gara kee nan dhufa; Saaraanis ilma ni deessi.”
15 Then Sarah denied it and said, “I did not laugh,” for she was afraid. He replied, “No, you did laugh.”
Saaraanis waan sodaatteef sobdee, “Ani hin kolfine” jette. Inni garuu, “Lakkii kolfiteertaa” jedhe.
16 Then the men arose to leave and looked down toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.
Namoonni sun yommuu deemuuf kaʼanitti gara Sodoom gad ilaalan; Abrahaamis isaan geggeessuuf jedhee isaan wajjin baʼe.
17 But Yahweh said, “Should I hide from Abraham what I am about to do,
Ergasii Waaqayyo akkana jedhe; “Ani waanan gochuuf jiru Abrahaamin nan dhoksaa?
18 since Abraham will indeed become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him?
Abrahaam dhugumaan saba guddaa fi jabaa taʼa; sabni lafa irraa hundinuu karaa isaatiin eebbifama.
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.”
Akka inni ijoollee isaatii fi sanyii isaa warra isa duubaan dhufan, akka isaan waan qajeelaa fi sirrii taʼe hojjechuudhaan karaa Waaqayyoo eegan ajajuuf ani isa filadheeraatii; kunis akka Waaqayyo waan Abrahaamiif kakate sana isaaf guutuuf.”
20 Then Yahweh said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great, and because their sin is so serious,
Waaqayyos akkana jedhe; “Iyyi Sodoomii fi Gomoraa irratti iyyame guddaa dha; cubbuun isaaniis waan akka malee hamaa taʼeef
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.”
ani gad buʼee akka wanni isaan hojjetan akkuma iyya na qaqqabe sanaa hamaa taʼe nan ilaala. Yoo akkas taʼuu baate immoo natu beeka.”
22 So the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before Yahweh.
Namoonni sunis garagalanii Sodoomitti qajeelan; Abrahaam garuu Waaqayyo dura dhaabatee hafe.
23 Then Abraham approached and said, “Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
Abrahaamis isatti dhiʼaatee akkana jedhe; “Ati nama qajeelaa nama jalʼaa wajjin ni balleessitaa?
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?
Yoo namoonni qajeeloon shantamni magaalattii keessa jiraatan hoo? Ati dhugumaan ishee ni balleessitaa? Sababii qajeelota shantamman ishee keessa jiraatan sanaatiif jettee ishee hin oolchituu?
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?”
Qajeelaa fi hamaa wal qixxee ilaaluudhaan nama qajeelaa nama hamaa wajjin balleessuun sirraa haa fagaatu. Kun sirraa haa fagaatu! Abbaan murtii lafa hundaa waan qajeelaa hin hojjetuu?”
26 Yahweh said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place for their sake.”
Waaqayyos, “Ani yoo magaalaa Sodoom keessatti qajeeltota shantama argadhe, isaaniif jedhee iddoo sana guutuu nan oolcha” jedhe.
27 Abraham answered and said, “Look, I have undertaken to speak to my Lord, even though I am only dust and ashes!
Abrahaam ammas akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani utuman awwaaraa fi daaraa taʼee jiruu Gooftaatti dubbachuuf ija jabaadheera;
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.”
yoo baayʼinni qajeeltotaa shantama irraa shan hirʼate hoo? Ati sababii namoota shanan sanaatiif jettee magaalaa sana guutuu ni balleessitaa?” Innis, “Ani yoo nama afurtamii shan achitti argadhe ishee hin balleessu” jedhe.
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.”
Abrahaam amma illee, “Yoo qajeeltonni afurtamni qofti achitti argaman hoo?” jedhee isatti dubbate. Gooftaanis, “Ani warra afurtama sanaaf jedhee nan dhiisa” jedhe.
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.”
Abrahaamis, “Mee nan dubbadhaatii Gooftaan, hin aarin. Yoo namoonni soddomni qofti achitti argaman hoo?” jedhe. Gooftaanis, “Ani yoon nama soddoma achitti argadhe ishee hin balleessu” jedhee deebise.
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.”
Abrahaamis, “Kunoo amma erga ani Gooftaatti dubbachuuf ija jabaadhe, yoo namoonni digdamni qofti achitti argaman hoo?” jedhe. Gooftaanis, “Ani sababii namoota digdama sanaatiif jedhee ishee hin balleessu” jedhe.
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.”
Abrahaamis, “Yaa Gooftaa amma illee yeroo tokko waa sin gaafadhaatii maaloo hin aarin; yoo namni kudhan qofti achitti argame hoo?” jedhe. Gooftaan immoo, “Ani sababii namoota kurnan sanaatiif jedhee ishee hin balleessu” jedhe.
33 Yahweh went on his way as soon as he had finished talking with Abraham, and Abraham returned home.
Waaqayyos erga Abrahaam wajjin dubbatee fixee booddee achii deeme. Abrahaam immoo iddoo ofii isaatti deebiʼe.
