Kinohi 18
1 I KEA ae la o Iehova e ia ma na laau oka o Mamere: a noho iho la ia ma ka puka o ka halelewa, i ka manawa i wela mai ai ka la.
And God appeared to him by the oak of Mambre, as he sat by the door of his tent at noon.
2 Alawa ae la kona mau maka iluna, ike ae la, aia hoi, ku mai la na kanaka ekolu imua ona: a i kona ike ana aku, holo aku la ia mai ka puka o ka halelewa aku e halawai me lakou, a kulou iho la ia ma ka honua.
And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold! three men stood before him; and having seen them he ran to meet them from the door of his tent, and did obeisance to the ground.
3 I aku la ia, E kuu haku, ina i loaa ia'u ke alohaia imua o kou mau maka, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, mai hele wale aku oe mai kau kauwa aku.
And he said, Lord, if indeed I have found grace in your sight, pass not by your servant.
4 Ke noi aku nei au, i laweia mai kekahi wai iki e holoi i ko oukou mau wawae, a e hoomaha iho oukou malalo o ka laau.
Let water now be brought, and let them wash your feet, and do you refresh [yourselves] under the tree.
5 E lawe mai no hoi au i wahi berena, a e hooluolu iho i ko oukou naau; a mahope iho oukou e hele aku ai; no ka mea, nolaila ko oukou hele ana mai i ko oukou kauwa, I mai la lakou. Me kau i olelo mai ai, pela oe e hana'i.
And I will bring bread, and you shall eat, and after this you shall depart on your journey, on account of which [refreshment] you have turned aside to your servant. And he said, So do, as you have said.
6 Wikiwiki ae la o Aberahama i ka hele iloko o ka halelewa io Sara la, i aku la, E hoomakaukau koke oe i ekolu sato palaoa wali; e hookawili a e pulehu i papaberena.
And Abraam hasted to the tent to Sarrha, and said to her, Hasten, and knead three measures of fine flour, and make cakes.
7 Holo aku la o Aberahama i ka ohana bipi, lalau aku la i ka bipikeiki opiopio momona, haawi aku la i kekahi keiki, a wikiwiki iho la ia e kalua.
And Abraam ran to the kine, and took a young calf, tender and good, and gave it to his servant, and he hasted to dress it.
8 Lalau aku ia i wahi bata a me ka waiu, a me ka bipikeiki ana i kalua ai, a kau aku la imua o lakou: a ku aku la ia ma o lakou la malalo o ka laau; a ai iho la lakou.
And he took butter and milk, and the calf which he had dressed; and he set them before them, and they did eat, and he stood by them under the tree.
9 Ninau mai la lakou ia ia, Auhea kau wahine, o Sara? I aku la ia, aia no iloko o ka halelewa.
And he said to him, Where is Sarrha your wife? And he answered and said, Behold! in the tent.
10 Alaila, i mai la kela, Ho oiaio, e hoi hou mai ana au i keia manawa o kela makahiki, aia hoi, e loaa uanei ia Sara he keikikane. A lohe ae la o Sara ma ka puka o ka halelewa ma kona kua.
And he said, I will return and come to you according to this period seasonably, and Sarrha your wife shall have a son; and Sarrha heard at the door of the tent, being behind him.
11 A o Aberahama laua o Sara, ua kahiko no laua, he nui ko laua mau la; a ua pau ia Sara ka mea a na wahine.
And Abraam and Sarrha were old, advanced in days, and the custom of women ceased with Sarrha.
12 Nolaila, akaaka iho la o Sara iloko iho ona, i iho la, E olioli no anei au mahope o kuu wa luwahine, a ua elemakule hoi kuu haku?
And Sarrha laughed in herself, saying, The thing has not as yet happened to me, even until now, and my lord is old.
13 Ninau mai la o Iehova ia Aberahama, No ko aha la i akaaka ai o Sara, i ka i ana, He oiaio anei, o hanau no wau i keiki i kuu wa luwahine?
And the Lord said to Abraam, Why is it that Sarrha has laughed in herself, saying, Shall I then indeed bear? but I am grown old.
14 E hakalia anei kekahi mea ia Iehova? I ka wa i oleloia'i e hoi hou mai ana au i ou la, i keia manawa o kela makahiki, a e loaa ia Sara he keikikane.
Shall anything be impossible with the Lord? At this time I will return to you seasonably, and Sarrha shall have a son.
15 Alaila hoole aku la o Sara, i aku la, Aole au i akaaka; no ka mea, makau iho la ia. I mai la kela, Aole, ua akaaka no oe.
But Sarrha denied, saying, I did not laugh, for she was afraid. And he said to her, Nay, but you did laugh.
16 Ku ae la ua mau kanaka la, nana aku la ma Sodoma; a hele pu o Aberahama me lakou e hookuu aku ia lakou.
And the men having risen up from thence looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha. And Abraam went with them, attending them on their journey.
17 I ae la o Iehova, E huna anei au ia Aberahama i ka'u mea e hana nei?
And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraam my servant what things I intend to do?
18 No ka mea, e lilo io no auanei o Aberahama i lahuikanaka nui a ikaika hoi, a e pomaikai hoi na lahuikanaka a pau o ka honua ia ia.
But Abraam shall become a great and populous nation, and in him shall all the nations of the earth be blest.
19 No ka mea, ke ike nei au ia ia, e kauoha aku no ia i kana poe keiki a me kona mau ohua mahope ona, i malama mai ai lakou i ka aoao o Iehova, a e hana lakou ma ka pono a me ka pololei; i hooili aku ai o Iehova maluna o Aberahama i ka mea ana i olelo ai nona.
For I know that he will order his sons, and his house after him, and they will keep the ways of the Lord, to do justice and judgment, that the Lord may bring upon Abraam all things whatever he has spoken to him.
20 Olelo mai la o Iehova, Ua nui loa ka leo no Sodoma a me Gomora, ua kaumaha no hoi ko lakou hewa;
And the Lord said, The cry of Sodom and Gomorrha has been increased towards me, and their sins are very great.
21 E iho ana au ilaila e ike, i like paha ka lakou hana ana me ka leo no ia wahi i hiki mai ai io'u nei; a i ole paha, o ike auanei hoi au.
I will therefore go down and see, if they completely correspond with the cry which comes to me, and if not, that I may know.
22 Huli ae la ua mau kanaka la i na maka o laua mailaila aku, a hele aku la i Sodoma: aka, ku iho la o Aberahama imua o Iehova.
And the men having departed thence, came to Sodom; and Abraam was still standing before the Lord.
23 Neenee aku la o Aberahama a kokoke, i aku la, E luku pu anei oe i ka poe pono me ka poe hewa?
And Abraam drew near and said, Wouldest you destroy the righteous with the wicked, and shall the righteous be as the wicked?
24 Ina paha he kanalima na kanaka pono maloko o ua kulanakauhale la, e luku anei oe ia wahi, aole no o malama ia wahi no ka poe pono he kanalima maloko?
Should there be fifty righteous in the city, will you destroy them? will you not spare the whole place for the sake of the fifty righteous, if they be in it?
25 Aole loa oe e hana pela, ke pepehi pu i ka poe pono me ka poe hewa: i like pu ai ka poe pono me ka poe hewa, aole loa oe pela: aole anei o hana pono ka lunakanawai o ka honua a pau?
By no means shall you do as this thing [is] so as to destroy the righteous with the wicked, so the righteous shall be as the wicked: by no means. You that judge the whole earth, shall you not do right?
26 I mai la o Iehova, Ina loaa ia'u ma Sodoma na kanaka pono he kanalima maloko o ke kulanakauhale, alaila au e malama ai ia wahi a pau no lakou.
And the Lord said, If there should be in Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole city, and the whole place for their sakes.
27 Olelo aku la o Aberahama, i aku la, Eia hoi, ua hoomaka no wau e olelo aku i ka Haku, owau he lepo wale no, a me ka lehu:
And Abraam answered and said, Now I have begun to speak to my Lord, and I am earth and ashes.
28 A i emi mai na mea elima o ka poe pono he kanalima; e luku anei oe ia kulanakauhale a pau no ia mau mea elima? I mai ia kela, A i loaa ia'u ilaila he kanaha a me kumamalima, aole au e luku aku.
But if the fifty righteous should be diminished to forty-five, will you destroy the whole city because of the five [lacking]? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I should find there forty-five.
29 Olelo hou aku la oia ia ia, i aku la, Ina paha he kanaha ka poe i loaa ilaila? i mai la kela, Aole au o hana aku ia mea, ke kanaha lakou.
And he continued to speak to him still, and said, But if there should be found there forty? And he said, I will not destroy it for the forty's sake.
30 I aku la hoi oia, Ea, a i huhu ole mai ka Haku, e olelo aku no au: Ina paha he kanakolu ka poe i loaa ilaila? I mai la kela, Aole au e hana ia mea, ke loaa ia'u he kanakolu ilaila.
And he said, Will there be anything [against me], Lord, if I shall speak? but if there be found there thirty? And he said, I will not destroy it for the thirty's sake.
31 I aku la oia, Aia hoi, na hoomaka iho nei au e olelo aku i ka Haku: Ina paha ho iwakalua ka poe i loaa ilaila? I mai la kola, aole au o luku aku, ko iwakalua lakou.
And he said, Since I am able to speak to the Lord, what if there should be found there twenty? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I should find there twenty.
32 I aku la hoi oia, A i ole e huhu mai ka Haku, a hookahi wale no a'u olelo e koe: Ina paha he umi ka poe i loaa ilaila? I mai la kela, Aole au e luku aku, ke umi lakou.
And he said, Will there be anything [against me], Lord, if I speak yet once? but if there should be found there ten? And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten's sake.
33 A pau ae la ka Iehova kamailio ana mo Aberahama, hele aku la o Iehova; a hoi hou mai la o Aberahama i kona wahi.
And the Lord departed, when he left off speaking to Abraam, and Abraam returned to his place.
