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.
And he appeared to him Yahweh at [the] great trees of Mamre and he [was] sitting [the] opening of the tent when [the] heat of the day.
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,
And he lifted up eyes his and he saw and there! three men [were] standing with him and he saw and he ran to meet them from [the] opening of the tent and he bowed down [the] ground towards.
3 and said, “My lord, if now I have found favour in your sight, please don’t go away from your servant.
And he said Lord my if please I have found favor in view your may not please you pass by from with servant your.
4 Now let a little water be fetched, wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
Let it be brought please a little of water and wash feet your and support yourself under the tree.
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.”
So let me bring a piece of bread and sustain heart your (after *L(S)*) you will pass on for since you have passed by at servant your and they said thus you will do just as you have said.
6 Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Quickly prepare three seahs of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.”
And he hurried Abraham the tent towards to Sarah and he said bring quickly three seahs flour fine flour knead [it] and make bread cakes.
7 Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress it.
And to the herd he ran Abraham and he took a young one of [the] herd tender and good and he gave [it] to the servant and he hurried to prepare it.
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.
And he brought curd and milk and [the] young one of the herd which he had prepared and he set [it] before them and he [was] standing with them under the tree and they ate.
9 They asked him, “Where is Sarah, your wife?” He said, “There, in the tent.”
And they said to him where? [is] Sarah wife your and he said there! in the tent.
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.
And he said certainly I will return to you about the time living and there! a son [will belong] to Sarah wife your and Sarah [was] listening [the] opening of the tent and it [was] behind him.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.
And Abraham and Sarah [were] old [having] come in days it had ceased to be to Sarah a way like women.
12 Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”
And she laughed Sarah in inner being her saying after am worn out I has it be[longed]? to me pleasure and lord my he is old.
13 The LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Will I really bear a child when I am old?’
And he said Yahweh to Abraham why? this did she laugh Sarah saying ¿ also really will I bear a child and I I am old.
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.”
¿ Is it [too] difficult for Yahweh anything to the appointed time I will return to you about the time living and [will belong] to Sarah a son.
15 Then Sarah denied it, saying, “I didn’t laugh,” for she was afraid. He said, “No, but you did laugh.”
And she denied Sarah - saying not I laughed for - she was afraid and he said - In-deed you laughed.
16 The men rose up from there, and looked towards Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.
And they arose from there the men and they looked down on [the] face of Sodom and Abraham [was] walking with them to send off them.
17 The LORD said, “Will I hide from Abraham what I do,
And Yahweh he said ¿ [be] concealing [will] I from Abraham [that] which I [am] about to do.
18 since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him?
And Abraham certainly he will become a nation great and mighty and they will be blessed by him all [the] nations of the earth.
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.”
For I have known him so that that he may command children his and household his after him and they will keep [the] way of Yahweh by doing righteousness and justice so that will bring Yahweh on Abraham [that] which he has spoken on him.
20 The LORD said, “Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,
And he said Yahweh [the] outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah for it is great and sin their that it is heavy exceedingly.
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.”
I will go down please so I may see ¿ according to outcry its that has come to me have they done - completion and if not I will know.
22 The men turned from there, and went towards Sodom, but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
And they turned away from there the men and they went Sodom towards (and Abraham *L(S)*) still [was] he standing before (Yahweh. *L(S)*)
23 Abraham came near, and said, “Will you consume the righteous with the wicked?
And he drew near Abraham and he said ¿ also will you sweep away [the] righteous with [the] wicked.
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?
Perhaps there [are] fifty righteous [people] in [the] midst of the city ¿ also will you sweep [it] away and not will you forgive? the place for [the] sake of fifty the righteous [people] who [are] in midst its.
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?”
Far be it to you from doing - according to the manner this to put to death [the] righteous with [the] wicked and it will be as the righteous [person] as the wicked [person] far be it to you ¿ [the] judge of all the earth not will he do justice.
26 The LORD said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place for their sake.”
And he said Yahweh if I will find in Sodom fifty righteous [people] in [the] midst of the city and I will forgive all the place for sake of them.
27 Abraham answered, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, although I am dust and ashes.
And he answered Abraham and he said here! please I have undertaken to speak to [the] Lord and I [am] dust and ash[es].
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.”
Perhaps they will lack! fifty the righteous [people] five ¿ will you destroy for five all the city and he said not I will destroy [it] if I will find there forty and five.
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.”
And he repeated again to speak to him and he said perhaps they will be found! there forty and he said not I will do [it] for sake of the forty.
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.”
And he said may not please it burn to [the] Lord and let me speak perhaps they will be found! there thirty and he said not I will do [it] if I will find there thirty.
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.”
And he said here! please I have undertaken to speak to [the] Lord perhaps they will be found! there twenty and he said not I will destroy [it] for sake of the twenty.
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.”
And he said may not please it burn to [the] Lord and let me speak only this time perhaps they will be found! there ten and he said not I will destroy [it] for sake of the ten.
33 The LORD went his way as soon as he had finished communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
And he went Yahweh just as he had finished to speak to Abraham and Abraham he returned to place his.
