Farawa 18
1 Ubangiji ya bayyana ga Ibrahim kusa da manyan itatuwan Mamre yayinda yake zaune a mashigin tentinsa da tsakar rana.
Now the Lord came to him by the holy tree of Mamre, when he was seated in the doorway of his tent in the middle of the day;
2 Da Ibrahim ya ɗaga ido, sai ya ga mutum uku suna tsaye kusa da shi. Sa’ad da ya gan su, sai ya tashi nan da nan daga mashigin tentinsa, ya tarye su, ya rusuna har ƙasa.
And lifting up his eyes, he saw three men before him; and seeing them, he went quickly to them from the door of the tent, and went down on his face to the earth;
3 Ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, in na sami tagomashi daga gare ku kada ku wuce bawanku.
And said, My Lord, if now I have grace in your eyes, do not go away from your servant:
4 Bari a kawo ruwa ku wanke ƙafafunku, ku huta a ƙarƙashin wannan itace.
Let me get water for washing your feet, and take your rest under the tree:
5 Bari in samo muku wani abu ku ci don ku wartsake, sa’an nan ku ci gaba da tafiyarku; da yake kun biyo wurin bawanku.” Suka ce, “To, sai ka yi abin da ka ce.”
And let me get a bit of bread to keep up your strength, and after that you may go on your way: for this is why you have come to your servant. And they said, Let it be so.
6 Saboda haka Ibrahim ya ruga zuwa wurin Saratu a cikin tenti ya ce, “Yi sauri, ki shirya mudu uku na gari mai laushi, ki cuɗa shi, ki yi burodi.”
Then Abraham went quickly into the tent, and said to Sarah, Get three measures of meal straight away and make cakes.
7 Sa’an nan Ibrahim ya yi gudu zuwa garkensa, ya zaɓi ɗan maraƙi ya ba wa bawansa, bawansa kuma ya yi sauri ya gyara shi.
And running to the herd, he took a young ox, soft and fat, and gave it to the servant and he quickly made it ready;
8 Sa’an nan Ibrahim ya ɗauko dambu da madara da naman ɗan maraƙin da aka gyara, ya kawo a gabansu. Yayinda suke ci, ya tsaya a gindin itace kusa da su.
And he took butter and milk and the young ox which he had made ready and put it before them, waiting by them under the tree while they took food.
9 Sai suka ce masa, “Ina Saratu matarka?” Ibrahim ya ce, “Tana can cikin tenti.”
And they said to him, Where is Sarah your wife? And he said, She is in the tent.
10 Sa’an nan ɗayansu ya ce, “Lalle zan komo wurinka war haka shekara mai zuwa. Saratu matarka kuwa za tă haifi ɗa.” Saratu kuwa tana a bayansu tana ji daga mashigin tenti.
And he said, I will certainly come back to you in the spring, and Sarah your wife will have a son. And his words came to the ears of Sarah who was at the back of the tent-door.
11 Ibrahim da Saratu dai sun riga sun tsufa sosai. Saratu kuma ta wuce shekarun haihuwa.
Now Abraham and Sarah were very old, and Sarah was past the time for giving birth.
12 Saboda haka Saratu ta yi dariya da ta yi tunani a zuci tana cewa, “Bayan ƙarfina ya ƙare, maigidana kuma ya tsufa, yanzu zan sami wannan jin daɗi?”
And Sarah, laughing to herself, said, Now that I am used up am I still to have pleasure, my husband himself being old?
13 Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Ibrahim, “Me ya ba Saratu dariya har da ta ce, ‘Har zan iya haifi ɗa duk ta tsufata yanzu?’
And the Lord said, Why was Sarah laughing and saying, Is it possible for me, being old, to give birth to a child?
14 Akwai abin zai gagari Ubangiji? Zan komo wurinka a ƙayyadadden lokacin nan shekara mai zuwa kuma Saratu za tă haifi ɗa.”
Is there any wonder which the Lord is not able to do? At the time I said, in the spring, I will come back to you, and Sarah will have a child.
15 Saratu ta ji tsoro, don haka sai ta yi ƙarya ta ce, “Ban yi dariya ba.” Ya ce, “A’a, kin yi dariya.”
Then Sarah said, I was not laughing; for she was full of fear. And he said, No, but you were laughing.
16 Sai mutanen suka tashi suka nufi Sodom, Ibrahim kuwa ya yi musu rakiya, ya yi bankwana da su.
And the men went on from there in the direction of Sodom; and Abraham went with them on their way.
17 Sai Ubangiji ya ce, “Zan ɓoye wa Ibrahim abin da nake shirin yi?
And the Lord said, Am I to keep back from Abraham the knowledge of what I do;
18 Lalle Ibrahim zai zama al’umma mai girma da kuma mai iko, kuma ta wurinsa dukan al’umman duniya za su sami albarka.
Seeing that Abraham will certainly become a great and strong nation, and his name will be used by all the nations of the earth as a blessing?
19 Saboda na zaɓe shi don yă umarci’ya’yansa da iyalinsa a bayansa su kiyaye hanyoyin Ubangiji, ta wurin yin abin da yake daidai da kuma yin adalci, domin Ubangiji ya aikata abin da ya yi wa Ibrahim alkawari.”
For I have made him mine so that he may give orders to his children and those of his line after him, to keep the ways of the Lord, to do what is good and right: so that the Lord may do to Abraham as he has said.
20 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce, “Kuka a kan Sodom da Gomorra ta yi yawa, zunubinsu kuma ya yi muni sosai,
And the Lord said, Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is very great, and their sin is very evil,
21 zan gangara in ga ko abin da suka yi ya yi muni kamar yadda kukan ya zo gare ni, zan bincike.”
I will go down now, and see if their acts are as bad as they seem from the outcry which has come to me; and if they are not, I will see.
22 Sai mutanen suka juya suka nufi wajen Sodom amma Ibrahim ya ci gaba da kasance a gaban Ubangiji.
And the men, turning from that place, went on to Sodom: but Abraham was still waiting before the Lord.
23 Sai Ibrahim ya matso wurinsa ya ce, “Za ka hallaka masu adalci tare da masu mugunta?
And Abraham came near, and said, Will you let destruction come on the upright with the sinners?
24 Me zai faru in akwai mutum hamshin masu adalci a cikin birnin? Ashe, za ka hallaka shi, ba za ka cece wurin saboda mutane hamsin nan masu adalcin da suke a cikinsa ba?
If by chance there are fifty upright men in the town, will you give the place to destruction and not have mercy on it because of the fifty upright men?
25 Tabbatacce ba za ka taɓa aikata irin wannan abu ba, ka kashe masu adalci tare da masu mugunta, ka ɗauka masu adalci da masu mugunta daidai? Tabbatacce ba za ka taɓa aikata irin wannan abu ba! Mai hukuncin dukan duniya ba zai aikata gaskiya ba?”
Let such a thing be far from you, to put the upright to death with the sinner: will not the judge of all the earth do right?
26 Ubangiji ce, “In na sami mutum hamshin masu adalci a cikin birnin Sodom, zan bar dukan birnin saboda su.”
And the Lord said, If there are fifty upright men in the town, I will have mercy on it because of them.
27 Sai Ibrahim ya ƙara cewa, “Yanzu da na yi karambani har na yi magana da Ubangiji, ko da yake ni ba kome ba ne illa turɓaya da toka,
And Abraham answering said, Truly, I who am only dust, have undertaken to put my thoughts before the Lord:
28 in yawan masu adalci sun kāsa hamshin da mutum biyar fa? Za ka hallaka dukan birnin saboda rashin mutum biyar ɗin?” Ya ce, “In na sami mutum arba’in da biyar a wurin, ba zan hallaka shi ba.”
If by chance there are five less than fifty upright men, will you give up all the town to destruction because of these five? And he said, I will not give it to destruction if there are forty-five.
29 Ya sāke cewa, “In mutum arba’in kaɗai aka samu a can fa?” Ya ce, “Saboda mutum arba’in ɗin, ba zan aikata ba.”
And again he said to him, By chance there may be forty there. And he said, I will not do it if there are forty.
30 Sai ya ce, “Kada Ubangiji ya yi fushi, amma bari in ƙara magana. A ce mutum talatin kaɗai aka samu a can fa?” Ya ce, “Ba zan aikata ba, in na sami mutum talatin a can.”
And he said, Let not the Lord be angry with me if I say, What if there are thirty there? And he said, I will not do it if there are thirty.
31 Ibrahim ya ce, “Yanzu fa da na yi karambani har na yi magana da Ubangiji, in ashirin kaɗai aka samu a can fa?” Ya ce, “Saboda ashirin ɗin, ba zan hallaka shi ba.”
And he said, See now, I have undertaken to put my thoughts before the Lord: what if there are twenty there? And he said, I will have mercy because of the twenty.
32 Sa’an nan Ibrahim ya ce, “Kada Ubangiji yă yi fushi, amma bari in ƙara magana sau ɗaya tak. In aka sami mutum goma kaɗai a can fa?” Ubangiji ya ce, “Saboda goma nan, ba zan hallaka shi ba.”
And he said, O let not the Lord be angry and I will say only one word more: by chance there may be ten there. And he said, I will have mercy because of the ten.
33 Sa’ad da Ubangiji ya gama magana da Ibrahim, ya tafi, Ibrahim kuma ya koma gida.
And the Lord went on his way when his talk with Abraham was ended, and Abraham went back to his place.
