Genesis 18
1 The LORD appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.
Alò, SENYÈ a te parèt a li nan bwadchenn Marmré yo pandan li te chita akote pòt tant la nan chalè jounen an.
2 He lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw that three men stood near him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,
Lè li te leve zye li pou te gade, men twa mesye ki te kanpe anfas li. Lè li te wè yo li te kouri sòti nan pòt tant lan pou rankontre yo, e li te bese tèt li atè.
3 and said, “My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please don’t go away from your servant.
Li te di: “SENYÈ mwen, si koulye a mwen vin twouve favè nan zye nou, souple, pa pase lwen sèvitè nou an.
4 Now let a little water be fetched, wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
Souple, kite yon ti dlo ta pote pou lave pye nou, e repoze nou anba pyebwa a.
5 I will get a piece of bread so you can refresh your heart. After that you may go your way, now that you have come to your servant.” They said, “Very well, do as you have said.”
Konsa, mwen va pote yon moso pen, pou nou kapab rafrechi nou menm; apre sa nou kapab kontinye, depi nou fin vizite sèvitè nou an.” Epi yo te di: “Fè sa ke ou di a.”
6 Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Quickly prepare three seahs of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.”
Epi Abraham te kouri antre nan tant lan vè Sarah, e te di: “Fè vit, prepare twa mezi farin fen, byen bat li, e fè gato pen.”
7 Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress it.
Abraham osi te kouri nan pak bèf, li te pran yon jenn bèf byen mou, byen chwazi, e li te bay li a sèvitè li, ki te fè vit pou prepare li.
8 He took butter, milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them. He stood by them under the tree, and they ate.
Li te pran bòl lèt kaye yo avèk lèt fre ak jèn bèf ke li te prepare, e te plase li devan yo; epi li te kanpe bò kote yo anba pyebwa a pandan yo t ap manje.
9 They asked him, “Where is Sarah, your wife?” He said, “There, in the tent.”
Alò, yo te di li: “Kote Sarah, madanm ou?” Epi li te di: “Nan tant lan”.
10 He said, “I will certainly return to you at about this time next year; and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son.” Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.
Epi li te di: “Anverite, mwen va retounen bò kote ou nan lè sa ane pwochèn; epi gade byen, Sarah, madanm ou va gen tan gen yon fis.” Epi Sarah t ap koute bò kote pòt la, ki te dèyè li a.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.
Alò, Abraham ak Sarah te vye, byen avanse nan laj. Sarah te depase laj pou fè pitit.
12 Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”
Sarah te ri a tèt li, e te di: “Lè m gen tan fin vye a, èske m ap gen plezi, e mari mwen ki vye tou?”
13 The LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Will I really bear a child when I am old?’
Epi SENYÈ a te di Abraham: “Poukisa Sara te ri, e t ap di: ‘Èske vrèman mwen va fè yon pitit lè mwen fin vye a?’
14 Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes around, and Sarah will have a son.”
“Èske gen anyen ki twò difisil pou SENYÈ a? Nan lè chwazi a, mwen va retounen a nou menm, nan lè sa a, lane pwochèn, e Sarah va gen yon fis.”
15 Then Sarah denied it, saying, “I didn’t laugh,” for she was afraid. He said, “No, but you did laugh.”
Sarah te demanti sa, e te di: “Mwen pa t ri non”; paske li te pè. Epi Li te di: “Non, men ou te ri.”
16 The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.
Alò, mesye yo te leve la e yo te gade pi ba vè Sodome; epi Abraham t ap mache avèk yo pou voye yo ale.
17 The LORD said, “Will I hide from Abraham what I do,
SENYÈ a te di: “Èske Mwen kab kache Abraham sa ke M prè pou M fè a,
18 since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him?
paske Abraham va anverite vin yon gran nasyon byen fò, e nan li, tout nasyon yo va beni?
19 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 the LORD, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that the LORD may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him.”
Paske Mwen te chwazi li pou l kapab kòmande pitit li yo avèk lakay li, pou kenbe chemen SENYÈ a, pou fè ladwati avèk jistis, pou SENYÈ a kapab fè rive sou Abraham, sa ke Li te pale de li a.”
20 The LORD said, “Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,
Epi SENYÈ a te di: “Gwo kri kont Sodome avèk Gomorrhe a byen gran, e peche pa yo grav depase.
21 I will go down now, and see whether their deeds are as bad as the reports which have come to me. If not, I will know.”
Mwen va desann koulye a, pou wè si yo te fè tout bagay selon gwo kri sa a, ki te vin jwenn Mwen an; epi si se pa sa, m ap konnen.”
22 The men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
Alò, mesye yo te vire kite la, e te ale vè Sodome, pandan Abraham toujou kanpe devan SENYÈ a.
23 Abraham came near, and said, “Will you consume the righteous with the wicked?
Abraham te vin pwoche, e te di L: “Èske Ou vrèman va fè disparèt moun dwat yo ansanm avèk mechan yo?
24 What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it?
Sipoze ke gen senkant moun ki dwat nan vil la; èske vrèman Ou va fè l disparèt, e pa prezève kote a pou koz a senkant moun dwat ki ladann yo?
25 May it be far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn’t the Judge of all the earth do right?”
“Se lwen Ou pou Ou ta fè yon bagay konsa, pou touye moun dwat yo avèk mechan yo pou dwat yo avèk mechan yo vin trete menm jan. Se lwen Ou menm! Èske Jij sou tout latè a p ap aji avèk jistis?”
26 The LORD said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place for their sake.”
Epi SENYÈ a te di: “Si Mwen twouve nan Sodome, senkant moun dwat nan vil la, alò, Mwen va prezève tout pou koz a yo menm.”
27 Abraham answered, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, although I am dust and ashes.
Epi Abraham te reponn: “Alò gade byen, mwen te tante pale ak SENYÈ a, malgre mwen pa plis ke pousyè avèk sann.
28 What if there will lack five of the fifty righteous? Will you destroy all the city for lack of five?” He said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.”
Vin sipoze ke senkant dwat yo manke senk, èske Ou va detwi tout vil la akoz senk lan?” Epi li te di: “Mwen p ap detwi li si Mwen twouve karant-senk ki la.”
29 He spoke to him yet again, and said, “What if there are forty found there?” He said, “I will not do it for the forty’s sake.”
Epi li te pale ankò, e te di: “Sipoze ke gen karant ki twouve la?” Epi li te di: “Mwen p ap fè li pou koz a karant lan.”
30 He said, “Oh don’t let the Lord be angry, and I will speak. What if there are thirty found there?” He said, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”
Alò li te di: “O ke SENYÈ a pa vin fache avè m, e mwen va pale; sipoze se trant ki twouve la?” Epi Li te di: “Mwen p ap fè li si Mwen twouve trant lan.”
31 He said, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord. What if there are twenty found there?” He said, “I will not destroy it for the twenty’s sake.”
Epi li te di: “Koulye a byen gade, mwen te tante pale avèk SENYÈ a; sipoze se ven ki twouve la?” Epi li te di: “Mwen p ap detwi li pou koz a ven yo.”
32 He said, “Oh don’t let the Lord be angry, and I will speak just once more. What if ten are found there?” He said, “I will not destroy it for the ten’s sake.”
Alò li te di: “O ke Senyè a pa vin fache avè m! M ap pale sèl fwa sa; sipoze ke se dis ki twouve la?” Epi li te di: “Mwen p ap detwi li pou koz a dis yo.”
33 The LORD went his way as soon as he had finished communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
Depi lè ke li fin pale ak Abraham nan, SENYÈ a te pati, e Abraham te retounen nan kote pa li.
