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;
apparuit autem ei Dominus in convalle Mambre sedenti in ostio tabernaculi sui in ipso fervore diei
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,
cumque elevasset oculos apparuerunt ei tres viri stantes propter eum quos cum vidisset cucurrit in occursum eorum de ostio tabernaculi et adoravit in terra
3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
et dixit Domine si inveni gratiam in oculis tuis ne transeas servum tuum
4 Let a little water, I pray you, be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
sed adferam pauxillum aquae et lavate pedes vestros et requiescite sub arbore
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.
ponam buccellam panis et confortate cor vestrum postea transibitis idcirco enim declinastis ad servum vestrum qui dixerunt fac ut locutus es
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.
festinavit Abraham in tabernaculum ad Sarram dixitque ei adcelera tria sata similae commisce et fac subcinericios panes
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.
ipse vero ad armentum cucurrit et tulit inde vitulum tenerrimum et optimum deditque puero qui festinavit et coxit illum
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.
tulit quoque butyrum et lac et vitulum quem coxerat et posuit coram eis ipse vero stabat iuxta eos sub arbore
9 And they said to him, Where [is] Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
cumque comedissent dixerunt ad eum ubi est Sarra uxor tua ille respondit ecce in tabernaculo est
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.
cui dixit revertens veniam ad te tempore isto vita comite et habebit filium Sarra uxor tua quo audito Sarra risit post ostium tabernaculi
11 Now Abraham and Sarah [were] old [and] far advanced in age; [and] it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
erant autem ambo senes provectaeque aetatis et desierant Sarrae fieri muliebria
12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am become old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
quae risit occulte dicens postquam consenui et dominus meus vetulus est voluptati operam dabo
13 And the LORD said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I certainly bear a child, who am old?
dixit autem Dominus ad Abraham quare risit Sarra dicens num vere paritura sum anus
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.
numquid Deo est quicquam difficile iuxta condictum revertar ad te hoc eodem tempore vita comite et habebit Sarra filium
15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
negavit Sarra dicens non risi timore perterrita Dominus autem non est inquit ita sed risisti
16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
cum ergo surrexissent inde viri direxerunt oculos suos contra Sodomam et Abraham simul gradiebatur deducens eos
17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
dixitque Dominus num celare potero Abraham quae gesturus sum
18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
cum futurus sit in gentem magnam ac robustissimam et benedicendae sint in illo omnes nationes terrae
19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they will keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
scio enim quod praecepturus sit filiis suis et domui suae post se ut custodiant viam Domini et faciant iustitiam et iudicium ut adducat Dominus propter Abraham omnia quae locutus est ad eum
20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
dixit itaque Dominus clamor Sodomorum et Gomorrae multiplicatus est et peccatum earum adgravatum est nimis
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.
descendam et videbo utrum clamorem qui venit ad me opere conpleverint an non est ita ut sciam
22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went towards Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
converteruntque se inde et abierunt Sodomam Abraham vero adhuc stabat coram Domino
23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
et adpropinquans ait numquid perdes iustum cum impio
24 Peradventure there are fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that [are] in it?
si fuerint quinquaginta iusti in civitate peribunt simul et non parces loco illi propter quinquaginta iustos si fuerint in eo
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?
absit a te ut rem hanc facias et occidas iustum cum impio fiatque iustus sicut impius non est hoc tuum qui iudicas omnem terram nequaquam facies iudicium
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.
dixitque Dominus ad eum si invenero Sodomis quinquaginta iustos in medio civitatis dimittam omni loco propter eos
27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I, who [am] dust and ashes, have taken upon me to speak to the LORD.
respondens Abraham ait quia semel coepi loquar ad Dominum meum cum sim pulvis et cinis
28 Peradventure there will 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].
quid si minus quinquaginta iustis quinque fuerint delebis propter quinque universam urbem et ait non delebo si invenero ibi quadraginta quinque
29 And he spoke to him yet again, and said, Peradventure there will be forty found there. And he said, I will not do [it] for forty's sake.
rursumque locutus est ad eum sin autem quadraginta inventi fuerint quid facies ait non percutiam propter quadraginta
30 And he said, Oh, let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there will thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do [it], if I find thirty there.
ne quaeso inquit indigneris Domine si loquar quid si inventi fuerint ibi triginta respondit non faciam si invenero ibi triginta
31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to the LORD: Peradventure there will be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for twenty's sake.
quia semel ait coepi loquar ad Dominum meum quid si inventi fuerint ibi viginti dixit non interficiam propter viginti
32 And he said, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten will be found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for ten's sake.
obsecro inquit ne irascaris Domine si loquar adhuc semel quid si inventi fuerint ibi decem dixit non delebo propter decem
33 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place.
abiit Dominus postquam cessavit loqui ad Abraham et ille reversus est in locum suum
