Genesis 18
1 And Jehovah appeareth unto him among the oaks of Mamre, and he is sitting at the opening of the tent, about the heat of the day;
Ary Jehovah niseho tamin’ i Abrahama teo an-kazo terebintan’ i Mamre; ary nipetraka teo am-baravaran’ ny lainy izy, raha nafana ny andro;
2 and he lifteth up his eyes and looketh, and lo, three men standing by him, and he seeth, and runneth to meet them from the opening of the tent, and boweth himself towards the earth,
dia nanopy ny masony izy ka niery, ary, indreo, nisy telo lahy nijanona teo tandrifiny, ka nony nahita ireo izy, dia niala teo am-baravaran’ ny lainy ka nihazakazaka hitsena azy, dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany
3 And he saith, 'My Lord, if, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, do not, I pray thee, pass on from thy servant;
ka nanao hoe: Tompo ô, raha mahita fitia eto imasonao aho, masìna ianao, aza dia mandalo ny mpanomponao.
4 let, I pray thee, a little water be accepted, and wash your feet, and recline under the tree;
Aoka hangalana rano kely ianareo hanasana ny tongotrareo; ary aoka mba hiala sasatra kely eo am-pototry ny hazo ianareo;
5 and I bring a piece of bread, and support ye your heart; afterwards pass on, for therefore have ye passed over unto your servant;' and they say, 'So mayest thou do as thou has spoken.'
dia haka mofo kely aho hataonareo ody am-bavafo; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia handeha ihany ianareo; fa tonga atỳ amin’ ny mpanomponareo ianareo. Ary hoy izy telo lahy: Ataovy ihany araka izay nolazainao.
6 And Abraham hasteth towards the tent, unto Sarah, and saith, 'Hasten three measures of flour-meal, knead, and make cakes;'
Dia nandeha faingana Abrahama nankany an-day tany amin’ i Saraha ka nanao hoe: Faingana, makà koba tsara toto intelon’ ny famarana; dia fetafetao ka ataovy mofo.
7 and Abraham ran unto the herd, and taketh a son of the herd, tender and good, and giveth unto the young man, and he hasteth to prepare it;
Ary Abrahama kosa nihazakazaka nankany amin’ ny omby, dia naka zanak’ omby tanora sady tsara ka nanolotra azy tamin’ ny ankizilahy, dia lasa faingana izy hamboatra azy.
8 and he taketh butter and milk, and the son of the herd which he hath prepared, and setteth before them; and he is standing by them under the tree, and they do eat.
Ary Abrahama naka ronono mandry sy ronono ary ilay zanak’ omby efa namboariny, dia narosony teo anoloan’ izy telo lahy; ary nijanona teo anilany teo ambanin’ ny hazo izy, dia nihinana izy telo lahy.
9 And they say unto him, 'Where [is] Sarah thy wife?' and he saith, 'Lo — in the tent;'
Ary hoy izy telo lahy tamin’ i Abrahama: Aiza Saraha vadinao? Ary hoy kosa izy: Indro, ao an-day izy.
10 and he saith, 'returning I return unto thee, about the time of life, and lo, to Sarah thy wife a son.'
Ary hoy Izy: Hiverina aminao tokoa Aho raha avy ny taona toy izao; ary, indro hanana zazalahy Saraha vadinao. Ary Saraha nandre izany teo am-baravaran’ ny lay, izay teo ivohon’ Ilay niteny.
11 And Sarah is hearkening at the opening of the tent, which is behind him;
Ary Abrahama sy Saraha dia samy efa zoki-olona ka nandroso fahanterana, ary efa nitsahatra tamin’ ny fombam-behivavy Saraha.
12 and Abraham and Sarah [are] aged, entering into days — the way of women hath ceased to be to Sarah;
Ary Saraha dia nihomehy anakampo ka nanao hoe: Moa mbola hanana hafaliana ihany va aho rehefa tratrantitra toy izao, sady efa antitra koa itompokolahy?
13 and Sarah laugheth in her heart, saying, 'After I have waxed old I have had pleasure! — my lord also [is] old!'
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Abrahama: Nahoana no nihomehy Saraha ka nanao hoe: Hiteraka tokoa va aho, kanefa izao efa antitra izao?
14 And Jehovah saith unto Abraham, 'Why [is] this? Sarah hath laughed, saying, Is it true really — I bear — and I am aged? Is any thing too wonderful for Jehovah? at the appointed time I return unto thee, about the time of life, and Sarah hath a son.'
Fa moa misy zavatra mahagaga izay tsy hain’ i Jehovah va? Amin’ ny fotoan’ andro raha avy ny taona toy izao dia hiverina aminao Aho, ary Saraha hanana zazalahy.
15 And Sarah denieth, saying, 'I did not laugh;' for she hath been afraid; and He saith, 'Nay, but thou didst laugh.'
Dia nandà Saraha satria natahotra izy, ka nanao hoe: Tsy nihomehy aho tsy akory. Fa hoy Ilay niteny: Tsia; fa nihomehy mihitsy ianao.
16 And the men rise from thence, and look on the face of Sodom, and Abraham is going with them to send them away;
Dia nitsangana ireny lehilahy ireny ka niala teo, dia nitsinjo an’ i Sodoma; ary Abrahama niaraka taminy hanatitra azy.
17 and Jehovah said, 'Am I concealing from Abraham that which I am doing,
Ary Jehovah nanao hoe: Hafeniko amin’ i Abrahama va izay hataoko?
18 and Abraham certainly becometh a nation great and mighty, and blessed in him have been all nations of the earth?
Fa Abrahama ho tonga firenena lehibe sy mahery tokoa, ary aminy no hitahiana ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany.
19 for I have known him, that he commandeth his children, and his house after him (and they have kept the way of Jehovah), to do righteousness and judgment, that Jehovah may bring on Abraham that which He hath spoken concerning him.'
Fa efa nifidy azy Aho mba handidy ny zanany sy ny taranany mandimby azy hitandreman’ ireo ny lalàn’ i Jehovah hanao izay marina sy mahitsy, mba hitondran’ i Jehovah amin’ i Abrahama izay efa nolazainy taminy.
20 And Jehovah saith, 'The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah — because great; and their sin — because exceeding grievous:
Ary hoy Jehovah: Ny fitarainan’ i Sodoma sy Gomora dia lehibe tokoa, ary ny fahotany dia mavesatra indrindra;
21 I go down now, and see whether according to its cry which is coming unto Me they have done completely — and if not — I know;'
hidina Aho ka hizaha na efa nahatanteraka izany tokoa izy araka ny fitarainan’ ny tany, izay efa tonga atỳ amiko, na tsia; ary raha tsy izany, dia ho fantatro.
22 and the men turn from thence, and go towards Sodom; and Abraham is yet standing before Jehovah.
Dia nihodina niala teo ireo lehilahy ireo ka nandroso ho any Sodoma; fa Abrahama kosa mbola nijanona teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
23 And Abraham draweth nigh and saith, 'Dost Thou also consume righteous with wicked?
Dia nanatona Abrahama ka nanao hoe: Haringanao miaraka amin’ ny meloka va ny marina?
24 peradventure there are fifty righteous in the midst of the city; dost Thou also consume, and not bear with the place for the sake of the fifty — the righteous who [are] in its midst?
Angamba misy olo-marina dimam-polo ao an-tanàna; haringanao koa va, ka tsy hamindranao fo ny tanàna noho ny dimam-polo marina izay ao?
25 Far be it from Thee to do according to this thing, to put to death the righteous with the wicked; that it hath been — as the righteous so the wicked — far be it from Thee; doth the Judge of all the earth not do justice?'
Sanatria Anao raha hanao toy izany ka hamono ny marina miaraka amin’ ny meloka, ka ny marina hatao tahaka ny meloka; sanatria Anao izany! tsy hitsara marina va ny Mpitsara ny tany rehetra?
26 And Jehovah saith, 'If I find in Sodom fifty righteous in the midst of the city, then have I borne with all the place for their sake.'
Ary hoy Jehovah: Raha mahita dimam-polo marina ao an-tanàna Sodoma Aho, dia hamindrako fo ny tanàna rehetra noho ireny.
27 And Abraham answereth and saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have willed to speak unto the Lord, and I — dust and ashes;
Dia namaly Abrahama ka nanao hoe: Indro, fa efa sahy niteny tamin’ ny Tompo aho nefa vovoka sy lavenona:
28 peradventure there are lacking five of the fifty righteous — dost Thou destroy for five the whole of the city?' and He saith, 'I destroy [it] not, if I find there forty and five.'
Angamba ho latsaka dimy ny dimam-polo marina; moa haringanao va ny tanàna rehetra noho ny dimy? Ary hoy Izy: Tsy handringana Aho, raha mahita dimy amby efa-polo ao.
29 And he addeth again to speak unto Him and saith, 'Peradventure there are found there forty?' and He saith, 'I do [it] not, because of the forty.'
Dia, mbola niteny taminy indray izy ka nanao hoe: Angamba efa-polo no ho hita ao. Ary hoy Izy: Tsy mba hanao izany Aho noho ny efa-polo.
30 And he saith, 'Let it not be, I Pray thee, displeasing to the Lord, and I speak: peradventure there are found there thirty?' and He saith, 'I do [it] not, if I find there thirty.'
Ary hoy izy: Aoka anie mba tsy ho tezitra ny Tompo, fa mbola hiteny aho: Angamba telo-polo no ho hita ao. Ary hoy Izy: Tsy mba hanao izany Aho, raha mahita telo-polo ao.
31 And he saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have willed to speak unto the Lord: peradventure there are found there twenty?' and He saith, 'I do not destroy [it], because of the twenty.'
Ary hoy izy: Indro, fa efa sahy niteny tamin’ ny Tompo aho: Angamba roa-polo no ho hita ao. Ary hoy Izy: Tsy mba handringana azy Aho noho ny roa-polo.
32 And he saith, 'Let it not be, I pray Thee, displeasing to the Lord, and I speak only this time: peradventure there are found there ten?' and He saith, 'I do not destroy [it], because of the ten.'
Ary hoy izy: Aoka anie mba tsy ho tezitra Hianao, Tompo, fa hiteny izao indray mandeha izao ihany aho: Angamba folo no ho hita ao. Ary hoy Izy: Tsy mba handringana Aho noho ny folo.
33 And Jehovah goeth on, when He hath finished speaking unto Abraham, and Abraham hath turned back to his place.
Dia lasa nandeha Jehovah, rehefa vita ny teny nataony tamin’ i Abrahama; ary Abrahama niverina ho any amin’ ny fonenany.
