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 oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the entrance to the tent in the heat of the day.
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.
He lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw that three men stood opposite him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the entrance of the tent, and bowed himself to the earth,
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 said, "My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please do not go on past 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.
Now let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest 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.
I will get a bit of food so you may refresh yourselves. After that you may go your way, now that you have come to your servant." They said, "Very well, 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.
Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Quickly, get three measures of fine flour, knead it, and make bread."
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.
Abraham ran to the herd, and took a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant, and he hurried to prepare 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.
He took curds, milk, and the calf that he had prepared, and set it before them. He stood by them under the tree, and they ate.
9 Ninau mai la lakou ia ia, Auhea kau wahine, o Sara? I aku la ia, aia no iloko o ka halelewa.
They said to him, "Where is Sarah, your wife? He said, "See, 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.
Then he said, "I will certainly return to you at the time of life. Look, Sarah your wife will have a son." Sarah heard from the entrance of the tent, which was 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.
Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. Sarah was past the age of childbearing.
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?
Sarah laughed within herself, saying, "After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my husband being old also?"
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 God said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, 'Will I really bear a child when I am 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.
Is anything too difficult for God? At the set time I will return to you, at the time of life, and Sarah will 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 Sarah denied it, saying, "I did not laugh," for she was afraid. He said, "No, 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.
The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.
17 I ae la o Iehova, E huna anei au ia Aberahama i ka'u mea e hana nei?
And God said, "Will I hide from Abraham what I am about 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.
seeing that Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him?
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 have made myself known to him, so that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of God, to do righteousness and justice, so that God may bring to Abraham that which 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 God said, "Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is so grievous,
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 go down now, and see whether they have done entirely according to the outcry which has come to me. And if not, I will 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.
The men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before God.
23 Neenee aku la o Aberahama a kokoke, i aku la, E luku pu anei oe i ka poe pono me ka poe hewa?
Abraham drew near, and said, "Will you sweep away the righteous with 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?
What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you sweep it away and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are 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?
Be it far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn't the Judge of all the earth 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 God said, "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake."
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:
Abraham answered, "Look, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust 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.
What if there will lack five of the fifty righteous? Will you destroy all the city for lack of five?" He said, "I will not destroy it, if I find forty-five there."
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.
He spoke to him yet again, and said, "What if there are forty found there?" He said, "I will not do 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.
He said, "Oh do not let the Lord be angry, and I will speak. What if there are thirty found there?" He said, "I will not do it, if I find thirty there."
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.
He said, "Look, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord. What if there are twenty found there?" He said, "I will not destroy it for the twenty's sake."
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.
He said, "Oh do not let the Lord be angry, and I will speak just once more. What if ten are found there?" 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.
When he finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned to his place.
