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.
Gospod se mu je prikazal na Mamrejevih ravninah, on pa je sedel pri šotorskih vratih, v vročini dneva
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,
in povzdignil svoje oči in pogledal in glej, pri njem so stali trije možje in ko jih je zagledal, je stekel od šotorskih vrat, da jih sreča in se priklonil proti tlom
3 and said, “My lord, if now I have found favour in your sight, please don’t go away from your servant.
ter rekel: »Moj Gospod, če sem torej našel naklonjenost v tvojih očeh, te prosim, ne odidi proč od svojega služabnika.
4 Now let a little water be fetched, wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
Naj bo prineseno, prosim te, malo vode in umijte svoja stopala in se spočijte pod drevesom.
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.”
Prinesel bom grižljaj kruha in potolažite svoja srca. Nató boste šli dalje, kajti zato ste prišli k svojemu služabniku.« In rekli so: »Stôri tako, kakor si rekel.«
6 Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Quickly prepare three seahs of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.”
Abraham se je podvizal v šotor k Sari ter ji rekel: »Brž pripravi tri mere fino mlete moke, zamesi jo in na ognjišču pripravi kolače.«
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 je stekel k čredi, vzel nežno in dobro tele ter ga dal mladeniču in ta je pohitel, da ga pripravi.
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.
Vzel je maslo, mleko in tele, ki ga je pripravil in to postavil prednje, in stal je poleg njih, pod drevesom, oni pa so jedli.
9 They asked him, “Where is Sarah, your wife?” He said, “There, in the tent.”
Rekli so mu: »Kje je tvoja žena Sara?« Rekel je: »Glejte, v šotoru.«
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.
In on je rekel: »Zagotovo se bom vrnil k tebi glede na čas življenja in glej, tvoja žena Sara bo imela sina.« Sara pa je to slišala pri vratih šotora, ki je bil za njim.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.
Torej Abraham in Sara sta bila stara in zelo zvrhana v letih in s Saro je prenehalo biti po običaju žensk.
12 Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”
Zato se je Sara v sebi zasmejala, rekoč: »Bom še imela užitek, potem ko sem se postarala [in] je tudi moj gospod postal star?«
13 The LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Will I really bear a child when I am old?’
Gospod je rekel Abrahamu: »Zakaj se je Sara zasmejala, rekoč: ›Bom zares rodila otroka jaz, ki sem stara?‹
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.”
Je za Gospoda katerakoli stvar pretežka? Ob določenem času se bom vrnil k tebi, glede na čas življenja in Sara bo imela sina.«
15 Then Sarah denied it, saying, “I didn’t laugh,” for she was afraid. He said, “No, but you did laugh.”
Potem je Sara zanikala, rekoč: »Nisem se zasmejala, « kajti bila je prestrašena. On pa je rekel: »Ne, toda zasmejala si se.«
16 The men rose up from there, and looked towards Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.
Možje so vstali od tam in pogledali proti Sódomi in Abraham je odšel z njimi, da jih pospremi na pot.
17 The LORD said, “Will I hide from Abraham what I do,
Gospod je rekel: »Mar naj pred Abrahamom prikrijem to stvar, ki jo počnem,
18 since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him?
glede na to, da bo Abraham zagotovo postal velik in mogočen narod in bodo v njem blagoslovljeni vsi narodi zemlje?
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.”
Kajti poznam ga, da bo ukazal svojim otrokom in svoji družini za njim in se bodo držali Gospodove poti, da izvajajo pravičnost in sodbo, da bo Gospod nad Abrahama lahko privedel to, kar je govoril o njem.«
20 The LORD said, “Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,
Gospod je rekel: »Ker je vpitje Sódome in Gomóre veliko in ker je njihov greh zelo boleč,
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.”
bom torej šel dol in pogledal, ali so storili povsem glede na njihovo vpitje, ki je prišlo do mene; in če ne, bom vedel.«
22 The men turned from there, and went towards Sodom, but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
Možje so svoje obraze obrnili od tam in odšli proti Sódomi, toda Abraham je kljub temu stopil pred Gospoda.
23 Abraham came near, and said, “Will you consume the righteous with the wicked?
Abraham se je približal in rekel: »Hočeš prav tako uničiti pravične z zlobnimi?
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?
Morda je znotraj mesta petdeset pravičnih. Hočeš prav tako uničiti kraj in mu ne prizanesti zaradi petdesetih pravičnih, ki so v njem?
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?”
To bodi daleč od tebe, da storiš na ta način, da z zlobnimi pokončaš pravične in da bi bili pravični kakor zlobni, to bodi daleč od tebe. Mar ne bo Sodnik vse zemlje storil pravično?«
26 The LORD said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place for their sake.”
Gospod je rekel: »Če najdem v Sódomi, znotraj mesta, petdeset pravičnih, potem bom zaradi njih prizanesel celemu kraju.«
27 Abraham answered, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, although I am dust and ashes.
Abraham pa je odgovoril in rekel: »Glej torej, nase, ki sem samo prah in pepel, sem vzel, da govorim Gospodu.
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.”
Morda jih bo manjkalo pet do petdesetih pravičnih. Hočeš mesto uničiti zaradi pomanjkanja petih?« On pa je rekel: »Če jih najdem tam petinštirideset, ga ne bom uničil.«
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.”
Ponovno mu je spregovoril in rekel: »Morda jih bo tam najdenih štirideset.« On pa je rekel: » Tega ne bom storil zaradi štiridesetih.«
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.”
Rekel mu je: »Oh naj moj Gospod ne bo jezen, jaz pa bom govoril: ›Morda jih bo tam najdenih trideset.‹« On pa je rekel: » Tega ne bom storil, če jih tam najdem trideset.«
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.”
Rekel je: »Glej torej, vzel sem nase, da govorim Gospodu: ›Morda jih bo tam najdenih dvajset.‹« On pa je rekel: »Ne bom ga uničil zaradi dvajsetih.«
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.”
Rekel je: »Oh naj Gospod ne bo jezen, jaz pa bom govoril samo še tokrat: ›Morda jih bo tam najdenih deset.‹« On pa je rekel: »Ne bom ga uničil zaradi desetih.«
33 The LORD went his way as soon as he had finished communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
Gospod je odšel svojo pot takoj, ko je prenehal govoriti z Abrahamom. Abraham pa se je vrnil na svoj kraj.
