Jenèz 18
1 Seyè a parèt devan Abraram bò pye bwadchenn Manmre yo. Abraram te chita nan papòt kay li, lè ki te fè pi cho nan lajounen an.
And the LORD appeared to him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
2 Abraram leve je l', li rete konsa li wè twa mesye kanpe devan li toupre pyebwa yo. Wè li wè yo, li leve nan papòt la, li kouri al jwenn yo, li bese tèt li jouk atè pou l' di yo bonjou.
And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, see, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
3 Li di. Mèt, tanpri. Pa pase devan lakay mwen san ou pa fè yon ti rete. Se sèvitè ou mwen ye.
And said, My LORD, if now I have found favor in your sight, pass not away, I pray you, from your servant:
4 Kite m' mande yo pote ti gout dlo pou lave pye ou. Lèfini, w'a pran yon ti repo anba pyebwa sa a.
Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
5 'a pote yon ti manje pou ou soutni kè ou pou ou reprann fòs pou ou ka kontinye vwayaj ou. Ou rive lakay mwen, mwen la pou m' sèvi ou. Yo reponn li: -Dakò. Ou mèt fè jan ou di a.
And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort you your hearts; after that you shall pass on: for therefore are you come to your servant. And they said, So do, as you have said.
6 Abraram kouri lakay li, li ale jwenn Sara. Li di l' konsa. Fè vit. Pran trant liv farin bon kalite, mouye l', fè pen.
And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes on the hearth.
7 Apre sa, Abraram kouri al nan bann bèt li yo, li pran yon jenn ti bèf byen gra, li bay yonn nan domestik li yo li pou li prese al kòche l'.
And Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it to a young man; and he hurried to dress it.
8 Apre sa, li pran fwomaj, li pran lèt fre, li mete yo ansanm ak vyann yo te pare a, li sèvi mesye yo. Pandan yo t'ap manje, Abraram te kanpe bò kote yo anba pyebwa a.
And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.
9 Lèfini, yo mande l'. Kote Sara, madanm ou? Li reponn. Li la wi, anndan kay la.
And they said to him, Where is Sarah your wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
10 Yonn nan vizitè yo di l'. Mwen gen pou m' tounen isit la, lè konsa lanne k'ap vini an. Lè sa a, Sara, madanm ou, ap gen tan gen yon pitit gason. Sara menm te kanpe nan papòt la dèyè Abraram, li t'ap koute.
And he said, I will certainly return to you according to the time of life; and, see, Sarah your wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.
11 Abraram ak Sara te fin vye granmoun. Yo te antre nan laj. Sara te sispann gen lalen li.
Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
12 Sara tonbe ri nan kè l', li t'ap di. Koulye a, kalite jan m' fin vye a, ou kwè lide m' ta sou gason toujou! Epitou, mari mwen, mèt mwen, fin granmoun!
Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
13 Seyè a di Abraram. Sa ki gen la a pou Sara ri konsa, pou l'ap di nan kè l'. Eske mwen kapab fè pitit ankò, jan m' fin vye a?
And the LORD said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
14 Bon. Eske gen kichòy ki twòp la a pou Mèt la fè? Sou dat mwen fikse a, m'a tounen pase wè ou ankò. Lè sa a, Sara va gen yon pitit gason.
Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
15 Sara te pè, li t'ap plede, li t'ap di. Mwen pa t' ri non! Men Seyè a di l'. Men wi, machè, ou te ri.
Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, No; but you did laugh.
16 Mesye yo leve, yo pati, yo mete tèt sou Sodòm. Yo rive kote yo te ka voye je yo gade anba pou wè Sodòm. Abraram menm t'ap mache ak yo. Li t'ap kondi yo mete pi devan sou wout la.
And the men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 Seyè a di nan kè l'. Mwen pa kapab kache Abraram sa m' pral fè a.
And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
18 Pitit pitit li yo pral tounen yon gwo nasyon ki va gen pouvwa. Gremesi Abraram, tout nasyon sou latè pral jwenn benediksyon.
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
19 Mwen te chwazi l' pou l' te pase pitit li yo ak tout rès fanmi l' k'ap vin apre li yo lòd pou yo mache nan chemen Seyè a met devan yo, pou yo fè sa ki kòrèk ak sa ki dwat devan Bondye. Se konsa m'a fè pou li tout sa mwen te pwomèt li a.
For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him.
20 Apre sa, Seyè a di. Se pa ti kras bagay y'ap di sou moun Sodòm ak moun Gomò, paske peche moun sa yo lou anpil.
And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
21 M'ap desann pou m' wè ak je mwen si sa y'ap di sou yo a se vre. Si se pa vre, m'a konnen.
I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come to me; and if not, I will know.
22 Mesye yo pati, yo mete tèt sou Sodòm. Men, Seyè a te rete ak Abraram.
And the men turned their faces from there, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
23 Abraram pwoche bò kote Seyè a, li mande l'. Eske se vre ou pral touye inonsan yo ansanm ak koupab yo?
And Abraham drew near, and said, Will you also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
24 Si gen senkant moun inonsan nan lavil la, èske w'ap detwi tout lavil la? Eske ou p'ap fè pa lavil la poutèt senkant inonsan sa yo?
Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: will you also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
25 Aa! Pou di w'ap fè inonsan peri ak koupab? Se pa posib. Ou pa ka fè sa. Se lenjistis pou inonsan gen menm sò ak koupab. Non, sa pa ka fèt. Bondye k'ap jije tout moun sou tè a pa ka nan fè lenjistis.
That be far from you to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from you: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
26 Seyè a reponn. Si mwen jwenn senkant inonsan nan lavil Sodòm, m'ap fè pa tout lavil la, poutèt senkant inonsan sa yo.
And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
27 Abraram pale ankò, li di. Eskize m' wi! Seyè, si m' penmèt mwen pale ankò. Se moun ase mwen ye, mwen pa gen dwa di ou anyen.
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken on me to speak to the LORD, which am but dust and ashes:
28 Men, si se karannsenk moun inonsan sèlman ou jwenn, èske ou pral detwi tout lavil la paske manke senk pou fè senkant lan? Seyè a reponn. Si mwen jwenn karannsenk inonsan sèlman, mwen p'ap detwi lavil la.
Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: will you destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
29 Abraram pale ankò, li di. Ou pa janm konnen, ka gen karant inonsan ase? Seyè a reponn. Si gen karant inonsan, mwen p'ap detwi lavil la.
And he spoke to him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty’s sake.
30 Abraram di. Tanpri, Seyè, pa fache sou mwen non. M'ap di ou yon ti mo ankò. Ou pa janm konnen, ou ka jwenn trant inonsan ase nan lavil la. Seyè a reponn. Si mwen jwenn trant, m'ap fè pa lavil la.
And he said to him, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
31 Abraram di. Eskize m' wi, Seyè, si m' penmèt mwen pale toujou. Men, sipoze ou jwenn vin inonsan sèlman? Seyè a reponn li. Si mwen jwenn vin inonsan, m'ap fè pa lavil la.
And he said, Behold now, I have taken on me to speak to the LORD: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake.
32 Abraram di ankò. Tanpri, Seyè, pa fache sou mwen non. M'ap di yon dènye mo. Si ou jwenn dis inonsan ase? Seyè a reponn li. Si mwen jwenn dis inonsan, m'ap fè pa lavil la.
And he said, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.
33 Apre li fin pale ak Abraram, Seyè a al fè wout li. Abraram menm tounen lakay li.
And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place.
