1 Onyenwe anyị gosiri Ebraham onwe ya nʼakụkụ osisi ukwu dị na Mamre, mgbe Ebraham nọdụrụ ala nʼihu ụlọ ikwu ya, nʼetiti ehihie.
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 O lelitere anya ya hụ ndị ikom atọ ka ha guzo ebe ọ nọ nso. Mgbe ọ hụrụ ha, o sitere nʼihu ụlọ ikwu ya gbakwuru ha izute ha, kpọọ isiala.
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 Ọ sịrị, “Onyenwe m, ọ bụrụ na m natara amara nʼihu gị, agabigala ohu gị.
and sayde: LORde yf I haue founde fauoure in thy syght goo not by thi seruaunte.
4 Biko, ka ekutere unu mmiri ntakịrị, ka unu sachaa ụkwụ unu, zurukwa ike nʼokpuru osisi a.
Let a litle water be fett and wash youre fete and rest youre selves vnder the tree:
5 Ka m wetara unu nri ntakịrị unu ga-eri nke ga-agba unu ume tupu unu agawa nʼihu nʼije unu ugbu a unu bịara na nke ohu unu.” Ha zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma. Mee dịka i kwuru.”
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 Ya mere, Ebraham mere ngwangwa banyekwuru Sera nʼụlọ ikwu ya sị ya, “Mee ngwa, mapụta ihe ọtụtụ sịa atọ site na ọka a kwọrọ nke ọma jiri meta achịcha.”
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 Mgbe ahụ, Ebraham gbagara nʼigwe ehi ya, họpụta otu nwa ehi na-akaghị aka nke ahụ ya dị mma, nye ya otu ohu ya onye mere ngwangwa gbuo ya, dozie ya maka oriri.
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 Emesịa, Ebraham buuru mmiri ara ehi nke rahụrụ arahụ, na mmiri ara ehi, na anụ ahụ a kwadoro dozie ha nʼihu ndị ọbịa ahụ. O guzokwara nso nso ebe ha nọ nʼokpuru osisi ahụ mgbe ha na-eri nri.
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 Ha jụrụ ya sị, “Ebee ka Sera nwunye gị nọ?” Ọ zara sị, “Ọ nọ nʼime ụlọ ikwu.”
And they sayde vnto him: Where is Sara thy wife? And he sayde: in the tent.
10 Ọ sịrị ya, “Nʼezie, mụ onwe m ga-alọghachikwute gị nʼoge a nʼafọ ọzọ, Sera nwunye gị ga-amụta nwa nwoke.” Sera guzo nʼime ụlọ ikwu ahụ nke dị nʼazụ Ebraham na-ege ntị nʼihe ha na-ekwu.
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 Nʼoge a, Ebraham na Sera emeela nnọọ agadi, gbaakwa isi awọ. Sera agafeela oge ịmụta nwa.
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 Ya mere, mgbe Sera nụrụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ọ chịrị ọchị sị, “Agadi nwanyị dịka m o si aṅaa amụta nwa, ugbu a onyenwe m karala nka?”
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 Onyenwe anyị jụrụ Ebraham ajụjụ sị, “Gịnị mere Sera ji achị ọchị? Gịnị mere o ji kwuo sị, ‘Olee otu agadi nwanyị dịka m ga-esi mụọ nwa?’
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 Ọ dị ihe nyịrị Onyenwe anyị ime? Mụ onwe m ga-alọghachikwute gị nʼoge a kara aka, Sera nwunye gị ga-amụta nwa nwoke.”
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 Ma ụjọ tụrụ Sera. Nʼihi ya, ọ gọrọ agọ sị, “Achịghị m ọchị.” Ma Ọ zara sị, “Ọ bụ ezie, Sera, ị chịrị ọchị.”
Than Sara denyed it saynge: I laughed not for she was afrayde. But he sayde: yes thou laughtest.
16 Mgbe ndị ikom atọ ahụ biliri ibidokwa ije ha, ha chere ihu ịga obodo Sọdọm, Ebraham dupụkwara ha.
Than the men stode vp from thence ad loked towarde Sodome. And Abraham went with them to brynge them on the waye.
17 Mgbe ha na-aga nʼụzọ, Onyenwe anyị tulere sị, “O kwesiri ka m zochiere Ebraham ihe m chọrọ ime?
And the LORde sayde: Can I hyde from Abraham that thinge which I am aboute to do
18 Ebraham aghaghị ịbụ mba dị ukwuu dịkwa ike. A ga-agọzikwa agbụrụ niile nọ nʼụwa site na ya.
seynge that Abraham shall be a great ad a myghtie people and all the nations of the erth shalbe blessed in him?
19 Nʼihi na ahọpụtala m ya, ka ọ tụziere ụmụ ya na ụlọ ya ndị ga-esote ya ịgbaso ụzọ Onyenwe anyị site nʼime ihe dị mma na ihe ziri ezi, ka Onyenwe anyị mezuoro Ebraham ihe niile o kwere ya na nkwa.”
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 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị kwuru sị, “Mkpu akwa m na-anụ site na Sọdọm na Gọmọra dị ukwuu, otu a kwa, mmehie ha jọbigara njọ oke.
And the LORde sayde? The crie of Sodome and Gomorra is great and there synne is excedynge grevous.
21 Ugbu a, ana m aga ka m jiri anya m hụ ma ihe ha mere ọ dị njọ dịka mkpu akwa m na-anụ si dị. Ma o sighị otu ahụ dịrị, aga m amata.”
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 Mgbe ahụ, ndị ikom abụọ nʼime ha gawara Sọdọm. Ma Ebraham nọ na-eguzo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
And the me departed thece and went to Sodomeward. But Abraham stode yet before ye LORde
23 Ebraham jeruru Onyenwe anyị nso jụọ ya sị, “Uche gị ọ bụ ikpochapụ ndị ezi omume na ndị ajọ omume?
and drewe nere and saydeWylt thou destroy the rightwes with the wyked?
24 Ọ bụrụ na ị chọta iri ndị ezi omume ise nʼime obodo ahụ, ị ga-ekpochapụ obodo ahụ? Ị gaghị agbaghara ya nʼihi iri ndị ezi omume ise nọ nʼime ya?
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 Ọ bụghị ezi ihe na ị ga-ala ndị ezi omume na ndị ajọ omume nʼiyi. Nʼihi na ị gaghị emeso ndị ezi omume dịka i si mesoo ndị na-eme ajọ ihe. O kwesighị ka onye ga-ekpe ụwa niile ikpe, kpee ikpe ziri ezi?”
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 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị zara sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na m achọta iri ndị ezi omume ise nʼobodo Sọdọm, aga m agbaghara obodo ahụ niile nʼihi ha.”
And the LORde sayde: Yf I fynde in Sodome. l. rightwes within the cyte I will spare all the place for their sakes.
27 Ebraham kwukwara ọzọ sị, “Ugbu a m nwere ike kwuwapụta okwu nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, mụ onye bụ naanị aja na ntụ.
And Abraham answered and sayde: beholde I haue taken vppon me to speake vnto ye LORde ad yet am but dust ad asshes.
28 Eleghị anya ọ bụrụ na e nweta naanị iri ndị ezi omume anọ na ise, ị ga-emebi obodo ahụ?” Onyenwe anyị zara sị, “Agaghị m ebibi ya ma ọ bụrụ na m achọta iri mmadụ anọ na ise nʼime ya.”
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 Ọzọkwa, ọ sịrị ya, “Ọ bụrụkwanụ na a ga-achọta naanị iri mmadụ anọ?” Onyenwe anyị zara sị ya, “Nʼihi iri mmadụ anọ, agaghị m ebibi ya.”
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 Mgbe ahụ ọ sịrị, “Biko, ka iwe hapụ iwe Onyenwe anyị ma m kwuo okwu. Eleghị anya, achọta naanị iri mmadụ atọ nʼebe ahụ?” Onyenwe anyị zaghachiri sị ya, “Agaghị m emebi ya, ma ọ bụrụ na m achọta iri mmadụ atọ nʼime ya.”
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 O kwuru sị, “Ebe ọ bụ na m amalitela ịgwa gị, Onyenwe anyị okwu, biko kwere ka m gaa nʼihu. Ọ bụrụ na a ga-achọta naanị iri mmadụ abụọ?” Onyenwe anyị zara sị, “Nʼihi iri mmadụ abụọ ahụ agaghị m emebi ya.”
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 Nʼikpeazụ, Ebraham kwuru sị, “Ka iwe hapụ iwe Onyenwe anyị. Ka m kwuo naanị otu ugboro a. Ọ bụrụkwanụ na a chọta naanị mmadụ iri nʼebe ahụ?” Onyenwe anyị zara sị, “Nʼihi mmadụ iri ahụ, agaghị m ebibi ya.”
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 Mgbe Onyenwe anyị gwachara Ebraham okwu, ọ hapụrụ ya gawa ebe ọ na-aga. Ebraham laghachiri azụ nʼụlọ ya.
And the LORde wet his waye as soone as he had lefte comenynge with Abraha. And Abraham returned vnto his place
