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 Kasia ekpɔ ŋutsu etɔ̃ gbɔna egbɔ. Etsi tsitre enumake, ƒu du yi ɖakpe wo, eye wòdo dzaa na wo.
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 Egblɔ be, “Ne miave nunye la, nye aƒetɔ, ekema migato miaƒe dɔla ŋu yi o.
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 Mina woaku tsi vi aɖe vɛ miaklɔ afɔe, eye miaɖi ɖe eme sẽe le ati sia te,
Let it be brought please a little of water and wash feet your and support yourself under the tree.

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.

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 Emegbe la, eƒu du yi nyihawo me, lé nyivi dami aɖe, eye wògblɔ na eƒe subɔla aɖe be wòawui enumake.
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 Eteƒe medidi o, etsɔ notsi babla kple notsi tsitɔ kple nyilã meme ɖo akɔme na wo. Enɔ atiawo te le amedzroawo gbɔ esime wonɔ nua ɖum.
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 Wobiae be, “Afi ka srɔ̃wò, Sara le?” Abraham ɖo eŋu be, “Ele agbadɔ me.”
And they said to him where? [is] Sarah wife your and he said there! in the tent.
10 Wo dometɔ ɖeka gblɔ be, “Yehowa gblɔ be, ‘Le ƒe si gbɔna me la, srɔ̃wò Sara adzi ŋutsuvi’” Sara nɔ agbadɔ me le Abraham megbe nɔ nya siawo sem.
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 Azɔ la, Abraham kple Sara tsi ŋutɔ, eye Sara ƒe vidziɣi va yi xoxoxo.
And Abraham and Sarah [were] old [having] come in days it had ceased to be to Sarah a way like women.
12 Nu sia na Sara ko nu le ta me, eye wògblɔ na eɖokui be, “Nyɔnu tsitsi abe nye ene nagadzi vi kple srɔ̃nye tsitsi sia?”
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 Yehowa gblɔ na Abraham be, “Nu ka ta Sara ko nu ɖo? Nu ka ta wògblɔ be, ‘Ɖe nyɔnu tsitsi abe nye ene ate ŋu adzi via?’
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 Ɖe nane sesẽ akpa na Yehowa? Le ƒe si gbɔna me, abe ale si megblɔ na wò xoxo ene la, Sara adzi ŋutsuvi.”
¿ 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 Ke Sara da alakpa be, “Nyemeko nu o,” elabena evɔ̃. Ke egblɔ nɛ be, “O! Èko nu.”
And she denied Sarah - saying not I laughed for - she was afraid and he said - In-deed you laughed.
16 Le esia megbe la, ameawo dze mɔ ɖo ta Sodom, eye Abraham dze wo yome ɖaɖo wo ɖa.
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 Yehowa gblɔ le eɖokui me be, “Ɖe maɣla nye ɖoɖowo ɖe Abraham mahã?
And Yahweh he said ¿ [be] concealing [will] I from Abraham [that] which I [am] about to do.
18 Eyae azu dukɔ gã aɖe, eye wòahe yayra vɛ na dukɔwo katã le anyigba dzi.
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 Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, metiae be eƒe dzidzimeviwo nanye mawuvɔ̃lawo, ame siwo anye ame dzɔdzɔewo kple nuteƒewɔlawo, ale be mate ŋu awɔ nu siwo katã ŋugbe medo nɛ la.”
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 Ale Yehowa gblɔ na Abraham be, “Mese be Sodomtɔwo kple Gomoratɔwo nye nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo, eye nu sia nu si woawɔ la nye nu vɔ̃ɖi.
And he said Yahweh [the] outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah for it is great and sin their that it is heavy exceedingly.
21 Mele teƒe mawo yim be manya ne nya siawo nye nyateƒe alo aʋatso. Ekema manya nu si mawɔ.”
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 Ameawo trɔ ɖo ta Sodom, ke Abraham ya tɔ ɖe Yehowa ŋkume.
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 Tete Abraham te ɖe eŋu hebiae be, “Ɖe nàtsrɔ̃ ame dzɔdzɔewo kpe ɖe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ŋua?
And he drew near Abraham and he said ¿ also will you sweep away [the] righteous with [the] wicked.
24 Ne àkpɔ ame dzɔdzɔe blaatɔ̃ le dua me ɖe, ɖe nàtsrɔ̃ du blibo la, eye màkpɔ nublanui le ame dzɔdzɔe blaatɔ̃awo ta oa?
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 Esia masɔ o! Meka ɖe edzi be màwɔ nu ma tɔgbi, awu ame dzɔdzɔewo kple ame vɔ̃ɖiwo siaa o! Nu ka ta nàhe to na ame dzɔdzɔewo kple ame vɔ̃ɖiwo siaa ɖekae ɖo? Eme kɔ ƒãa be màwɔ nenema o! Ɖe xexea me blibo la ƒe Ʋɔnudrɔ̃la mawɔ nu dzɔdzɔe oa?”
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 Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Ne makpɔ ame dzɔdzɔe blaatɔ̃ le Sodom dua me la, ekema mave du blibo la nu ɖe ame dzɔdzɔeawo ta.”
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 gagblɔ be, “Togbɔ be menye ʋuʋudedi kple afi ko hã la, esi medze nuƒoƒo kple wò Aƒetɔ la gɔme xoxo ta la, ɖe mɔ nam mayi edzi ko.
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 Ne àkpɔ ame blaene-vɔ-atɔ̃ ko ɖe, ɖe nàtsrɔ̃ du la ɖe ame atɔ̃ makpɔmakpɔ ta?” Yehowa gblɔ be, “Ne makpɔ ame dzɔdzɔe blaene-vɔ-atɔ̃ la, nyematsrɔ̃ du la o.”
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 Tete Abraham gayi edzi be, “Ne ame dzɔdzɔe blaene koe li ɖe?” Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Ne makpɔ ame dzɔdzɔe blaene la, nyematsrɔ̃ du la o.”
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 Abraham gblɔ be, “Meɖe kuku, mègana dzi naku wò o; ɖe mɔ nam maƒo nu. Nenye ame blaetɔ̃ koe nàkpɔ le afi ma ɖe?” Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Ne makpɔ ame dzɔdzɔe blaetɔ̃ pɛ ko la, nyematsrɔ̃ du la o.”
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 Abraham yi edzi be, “Zi ale si medo dzi ƒo nu kple Yehowa ko la, na mayi edzi ko. Nenye ame blaeve koe ɖe?” Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Ekema nyematsrɔ̃ du la o, ɖe ame blaeve mawo ta.”
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 Mlɔeba la, Abraham gblɔ be, “O, Yehowa, mègado dɔmedzoe o; nya ɖeka sia pɛ koe gale asinye, nenye be ame dzɔdzɔe ewo pɛ ko nàkpɔ ɖe?” Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Ekema le ame ewo mawo ta la, nyematsrɔ̃ du la o.”
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 Esi Yehowa wu nya siawo gbɔgblɔ kple Abraham nu la, edzo, eye Abraham trɔ yi eƒe agbadɔ me.
And he went Yahweh just as he had finished to speak to Abraham and Abraham he returned to place his.
