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 LORde apeared vnto him in the okegrove of Mamre as he sat in his tent doze in the heate of the daye.
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 lyfte vp his eyes and looked: ad lo thre men stode not farr from hym. And whe he sawe them he ran agenst them from the tent dore and fell to the grounde
3 Li di. Mèt, tanpri. Pa pase devan lakay mwen san ou pa fè yon ti rete. Se sèvitè ou mwen ye.
and sayde: LORde yf I haue founde fauoure in thy syght goo not by thi seruaunte.
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 litle water be fett and wash youre fete and rest youre selves vnder 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 fett a morsell of breed to comforte youre hartes wythall. And tha goo youre wayes for even therfore ar ye come to youre servaunte. And they answered: Do even so as thou hast sayde.
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 Abraha went a pace in to his tent vnto Sara ad sayde: make redy att once thre peckes of fyne meale kneade it and make cakes.
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 vnto his beastes and fett a calfe that was tendre and good and gaue it vnto a yonge man which made it redy attonce.
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 toke butter and mylcke and the calfe which he had prepared and sett it before them and stode hymselfe by them vnder the tree: and they ate.
9 Lèfini, yo mande l'. Kote Sara, madanm ou? Li reponn. Li la wi, anndan kay la.
And they sayde vnto him: Where is Sara thy wife? And he sayde: 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 sayde: I will come agayne vnto the as soone as the frute can lyue. And loo: Sara thy wife shall haue a sonne. That herde Sara out of the tent doore which was behind his backe.
11 Abraram ak Sara te fin vye granmoun. Yo te antre nan laj. Sara te sispann gen lalen li.
Abraham and Sara were both olde and well stryken in age and it ceased to be with Sara after the maner as it is wyth wyves.
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!
And Sara laughed in hir selfe saynge: Now I am waxed olde shall I geue my selfe to lust and my lorde olde 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?
Than sayd the LORde vnto Abraha: wherfore doth Sara laughe saynge: shal I of a suertie bere a childe now when I am olde?
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 the thinge to harde for the LORde to do? In the tyme appoynted will I returne vnto the as soone as the frute can haue lyfe And Sara shall haue a sonne.
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.
Than Sara denyed it saynge: I laughed not for she was afrayde. But he sayde: yes thou laughtest.
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.
Than the men stode vp from thence ad loked towarde Sodome. And Abraham went with them to brynge them on the waye.
17 Seyè a di nan kè l'. Mwen pa kapab kache Abraram sa m' pral fè a.
And the LORde sayde: Can I hyde from Abraham that thinge which I am aboute to do
18 Pitit pitit li yo pral tounen yon gwo nasyon ki va gen pouvwa. Gremesi Abraram, tout nasyon sou latè pral jwenn benediksyon.
seynge that Abraham shall be a great ad a myghtie people and all the nations of the erth shalbe 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 knowe him that he will commaunde his childern and his housholde after him yt they kepe the waye of the LORde to do after righte and conscyence that the LORde may brynge vppon Abraham that he hath promysed 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 LORde sayde? The crie of Sodome and Gomorra is great and there synne is excedynge grevous.
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 downe and see whether they haue done all to gedder acordynge to that crye which is come vnto me or not that I may knowe.
22 Mesye yo pati, yo mete tèt sou Sodòm. Men, Seyè a te rete ak Abraram.
And the me departed thece and went to Sodomeward. But Abraham stode yet before ye LORde
23 Abraram pwoche bò kote Seyè a, li mande l'. Eske se vre ou pral touye inonsan yo ansanm ak koupab yo?
and drewe nere and saydeWylt thou destroy the rightwes with the wyked?
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?
Yf there be. l. rightwes within the cyte wilt thou destroy it and not spare the place for the sake of. l. rightwes that are therin?
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 farre from the that thou shuldest do after thys maner to sley the rightwes with the weked ad that the rightwes shulde be as the weked: that befarre from the. Shulde not the iudge of all ye worlde do acordynge to righte?
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 LORde sayde: Yf I fynde in Sodome. l. rightwes within the cyte 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 sayde: beholde I haue taken vppon me to speake vnto ye LORde ad yet am but dust ad asshes.
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.
What though there lacke. v. of. l. rightwes wylt thou destroy all the cyte for lacke of. v? And he sayde: Yf I fynde there. xl. and. v. I will not destroy them.
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 spake vnto him yet agayne and sayde: what yf there be. xl. foude there: And he sayde: I wyll not do it for forties 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 sayde: O let not my LORde be angrye that I speake. What yf there be foude. xxx. there? And he sayde: I will not do it yf I finde. xxx. 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 be sayde: Oh se I haue begonne to speake vnto my LORde what yf there be. xx. founde there? And he sayde: I will not distroy the for tweties 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 sayde: O let not my LORde be angrye that I speake yet but eue once more only. What yf ten be founde there? And he sayde: I will not destroy the for. x. sake.
33 Apre li fin pale ak Abraram, Seyè a al fè wout li. Abraram menm tounen lakay li.
And the LORde wet his waye as soone as he had lefte comenynge with Abraha. And Abraham returned vnto his place
