< Genesis 18 >
1 And the LORD appeared to him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
Olúwa sì farahan Abrahamu nítòsí àwọn igi ńlá Mamre, bí ó ti jókòó ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ rẹ̀, nígbà tí ọjọ́-kanrí tí oòrùn sì mú.
2 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 toward the ground,
Abrahamu gbójú sókè, ó sì rí àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́ta tí wọn dúró nítòsí rẹ̀. Nígbà tí ó rí wọn, ó sáré láti lọ pàdé wọn, ó sì tẹríba bí ó ti ń kí wọn.
3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
Ó wí pé, “Bí mo bá rí ojúrere yín Olúwa mi, ẹ má ṣe lọ láì yà sọ́dọ̀ ìránṣẹ́ yín.
4 Let a little water, I pray you, be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
Ẹ jẹ́ kí a bu omi díẹ̀ wá kí ẹ̀yin kí ó wẹ ẹsẹ̀ yín, kí ẹ sì sinmi lábẹ́ igi níhìn-ín.
5 And I will bring a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that you shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
Ẹ jẹ́ kí n wá oúnjẹ wá fún un yín, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè jẹ, kí ara sì tù yín, kí ẹ si tẹ̀síwájú ní ọ̀nà yín, nígbà tí ẹ ti yà ní ọ̀dọ̀ ìránṣẹ́ yín.” Wọn sì wí pé “Ó dára.”
6 And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.
Abrahamu sì yára tọ Sara aya rẹ̀ lọ nínú àgọ́, ó wí pé, “Tètè mú òsùwọ̀n ìyẹ̀fun dáradára mẹ́ta kí o sì pò ó pọ̀, kí o sì ṣe oúnjẹ.”
7 And Abraham ran to the herd, and brought a calf tender and good, and gave it to a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
Abrahamu sì tún sáré lọ sí ibi agbo ẹran, ó sì mú ọmọ màlúù kan fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, ìránṣẹ́ náà sì tètè ṣè é.
8 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.
Ó sì mú wàrà àti mílíìkì àti màlúù tí ó ti pèsè, ó sì gbé síwájú wọn. Ó sì dúró nítòsí wọn lábẹ́ igi bí wọn ti ń jẹ ẹ́.
9 And they said to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
Wọn béèrè pé, “Sara aya rẹ ń kọ́?” Ó dáhùn pé, “Ó wà nínú àgọ́.”
10 And he said, I will certainly return to thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí fún un pé, “Èmi yóò sì tún padà tọ̀ ọ́ wá nítòótọ́ ní ìwòyí àmọ́dún; Sara aya rẹ yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan.” Sara sì ń dẹtí gbọ́ láti ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ tí ó wà lẹ́yìn ọkùnrin náà.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well advanced in years; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
Abrahamu àti Sara sì ti di arúgbó, Sara sì ti kọjá àsìkò ìbímọ.
12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am become old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
Nítorí náà, Sara rẹ́rìn-ín nínú ara rẹ̀ bí ó ti ń rò ó lọ́kàn rẹ̀ pé, “Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí mo ti di arúgbó tán tí olúwa mi pẹ̀lú sì ti gbó jọ̀kújọ̀kú, èmi yóò ha tún lè bímọ?”
13 And the LORD said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I certainly bear a child, who am old?
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí fún Abrahamu pé, “Kín ló dé tí Sara fi rẹ́rìn-ín tí ó sì wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò ha bímọ nítòótọ́, nígbà tí mo di ẹni ogbó tán?’
14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return to thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
Ǹjẹ́ ohunkóhun wà tí ó ṣòro jù fún Olúwa? Èmi ó padà tọ̀ ọ́ wá ní ìwòyí àmọ́dún, Sara yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin.”
15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
Ẹ̀rù sì ba Sara, ó sì sẹ́ pé òun kò rẹ́rìn-ín. Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa wí fún un pé, “Dájúdájú ìwọ rẹ́rìn-ín.”
16 And the men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
Nígbà tí àwọn ọkùnrin náà dìde láti máa lọ, wọn kọjú sí ọ̀nà Sodomu, Abrahamu sì sìn wọ́n dé ọ̀nà.
17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ èmi yóò ha pa ohun tí mo fẹ́ ṣe mọ́ fún Abrahamu bí?
18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Dájúdájú Abrahamu yóò sá à di orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá àti alágbára, àti gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ayé ni a ó bùkún fún nípasẹ̀ rẹ̀.
19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
Nítorí tí èmi ti yàn án láti kọ́ àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ àti àwọn ará ilé rẹ̀ lẹ́yìn rẹ̀, láti máa pa ọ̀nà Olúwa mọ nípa ṣíṣe olóòtítọ́ àti olódodo: kí Olúwa le è mú ìlérí rẹ̀ fún Abrahamu ṣẹ.”
20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
Olúwa sì wí pé, igbe Sodomu àti Gomorra pọ̀ púpọ̀ àti pé ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn burú jọjọ.
21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come to me; and if not, I will know.
“Èmi yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀ síbẹ̀ láti ṣe ìwádìí igbe tí ó dé sí etí ìgbọ́ mi nípa wọn, kí èmi sì mọ òtítọ́ tí ó wà níbẹ̀.”
22 And the men turned their faces from there, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
Àwọn ọkùnrin náà yí padà, wọ́n sì ń lọ sí ìhà Sodomu. Ṣùgbọ́n Abrahamu dúró níbẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa.
23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
Nígbà náà ni Abrahamu súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa, ó sì wí pé, “Ìwọ yóò ha pa olódodo ènìyàn àti ènìyàn búburú run papọ̀ bí?”
24 Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are in it?
“Bí ó bá ṣe pé ìwọ rí àádọ́ta olódodo nínú ìlú náà, ìwọ yóò ha run ún, ìwọ kì yóò ha dá ìlú náà sí nítorí àwọn àádọ́ta olódodo tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀ náà?
25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
Kò jẹ́ rí bẹ́ẹ̀! Dájúdájú ìwọ kì yóò ṣe ohun tí ó jọ bẹ́ẹ̀, láti pa olódodo pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn rere àti àwọn ènìyàn búburú. Dájúdájú, ìwọ kì yóò ṣe èyí tí ó tọ́ bi?”
26 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
Olúwa wí pé, “Bí mo bá rí àádọ́ta olódodo ní ìlú Sodomu, èmi yóò dá ìlú náà sí nítorí tiwọn.”
27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I who am dust and ashes, have taken upon me to speak to the Lord.
Abrahamu sì tún tẹ̀síwájú pé, “Wò ó nísinsin yìí, níwọ̀n bí èmi ti ní ìgboyà láti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí sọ̀rọ̀ níwájú Olúwa, èmi ẹni tí í ṣe erùpẹ̀ àti eérú,
28 Suppose there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
bí ó bá ṣe pe olódodo márùndínláàádọ́ta ni ó wà nínú ìlú, ìwọ yóò ha pa ìlú náà run nítorí ènìyàn márùn-ún bí?” Olúwa dáhùn pé, “Èmi kì yóò pa ìlú náà run bí mo bá rí olódodo márùndínláàádọ́ta nínú rẹ̀.”
29 And he spoke to him yet again, and said, Suppose there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty’s sake.
Òun sì tún wí lẹ́ẹ̀kan si pé, “Bí ó bá ṣe pé ogójì ni ń kọ́?” Olúwa sì tún wí pé, “Èmi kì yóò pa ìlú náà run bí mo bá rí olódodo ogójì nínú rẹ̀.”
30 And he said, O let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Suppose there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
Abrahamu sì tún bẹ Olúwa pé, “Kí Olúwa má ṣe bínú, ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò sọ̀rọ̀. Bí ó bá ṣe pé ọgbọ̀n ni a rí níbẹ̀ ń kọ́?” Olúwa dáhùn pé, “Bí mó bá rí ọgbọ̀n, èmi kì yóò pa ìlú run.”
31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to the Lord: Suppose there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake.
Abrahamu wí pé, “Níwọ́n bí mo ti ní ìgboyà láti bá Olúwa sọ̀rọ̀ báyìí, jẹ́ kí n tẹ̀síwájú. Bí o bá ṣe pé olódodo ogún péré ni ó wà nínú ìlú náà ń kọ́?” Olúwa sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi kì yóò pa á run nítorí ogún ènìyàn náà.”
32 And he said, O let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Suppose ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.
Abrahamu sì wí pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ má ṣe bínú Olúwa. Jẹ́ kí ń béèrè lẹ́ẹ̀kan si. Bí ó bá ṣe pé ènìyàn mẹ́wàá ni ó jẹ́ olódodo ń kọ́?” Olúwa wí pé, “Nítorí ènìyàn mẹ́wàá náà, èmi kì yóò pa á run.”
33 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had finished speaking with Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place.
Olúwa sì bá tirẹ̀ lọ, nígbà tí ó bá Abrahamu sọ̀rọ̀ tán, Abrahamu sì padà sílé.
