Genesis 18
1 Nagparang ni Yahweh kenni Abraham iti ayan dagiti kayo a lugo idiay Mamre, bayat a nakatugaw isuna iti ruangan ti tolda iti kapudotan ti aldaw.
The LORD appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.
2 Timmangad isuna ket, pagammoan, nakitana nga adda tallo a lallaki nga agtaktakder iti batogna. Idi nakitana isuda, nagtaray isuna a nangsabat kadakuada manipud iti ruangan ti tolda ket nagdumog a nagparintumeng iti daga.
He lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw that three men stood near him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,
3 Kinunana, “Apo, no makaay-ayoak iti imatangmo, saanyo koma a labsan toy adipenmo.
and said, “My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please do not go away from your servant.
4 Adda koma bassit a danum a maiyeg a pangbuggoyo kadagiti sakayo, ket aginanakayo iti sirok ti kayo.
Now let a little water be fetched, wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
5 Ipalubosyo koma a mangiyegak iti bassit a taraon, tapno mabang-arankayo. Kalpasanna, mabalinyon iti mapan, agsipud ta immaykayo iti adipenyo.” Ket kinunada, “Aramidem kas iti imbagam.”
I will get a piece of bread so you can refresh your heart. 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 Kalpasanna, nagdardaras ni Abraham a napan iti tolda nga ayan ni Sarah, ket kinunana, “Darasem, mangalaka iti tallo a takal ti napino nga arina, masaem daytoy, ket agaramidka iti tinapay.”
Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Quickly prepare three seahs of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.”
7 Kalpasanna, nagtaray ni Abraham a napan iti ayan dagiti arban, ket nangala isuna iti ubing pay ken napintas a baka, ket intedna daytoy iti adipen, ket nagdardaras ti adipen a nangisagana iti daytoy.
Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress it.
8 Nangala iti keso ken gatas, ken ti baka a naisaganan, ket inkabilna ti taraon iti sangoananda, ket nagtakder iti abayda bayat a mangmanganda iti sirok ti kayo.
He took butter, milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them. He stood by them under the tree, and they ate.
9 Kinunada kenkuana, “Sadino ti ayan ni Sarah nga asawam?” Insungbatna, “Idiay, uneg ti tolda.”
They asked him, “Where is Sarah, your wife?” He said, “There, in the tent.”
10 Kinunana, “Agsubliakto kenka iti kastoy met laeng a tiempo inton sumaruno a tawen, ket makitamto, maaddanto iti anak a lalaki ni Sarah nga asawam.” Agdengdengngeg ni Sarah nga adda iti ruangan ti tolda, iti likudanna.
He said, “I will certainly return to you at about this time next year; and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son.” Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.
11 Ita, lakay ken baketen da Abraham ken Sarah, nataenganda unayen, ken limmabesen ni Sarah iti tiempo a kabaelan pay dagiti babbai iti agipasngay iti ubing.
Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.
12 Isu a kinatawaan ni Sarah ti bukodna a bagi, a kinunana iti bagina, “Kalpasan a bimmaketakon, maaddaanak pay ngata iti kastoy a pakaragsakan, kasta met a ti apok ket lakay metten?”
Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”
13 Kinuna ni Yaweh kenni Abraham, “Apay a nagkatawa ni Sarah ken kunana, 'Pudno ngata nga aganakak, idinto a baketakon?'
The LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Will I really bear a child when I am old?’
14 Adda kadi aniaman a banag a narigat unay para kenni Yahweh? Iti tiempo nga intudingko, iti kastoy met laeng a tiempo inton sumaruno a tawen, agsubliakto kenka ket maaddaanto ni Sarah iti anak a lalaki.”
Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes around, and Sarah will have a son.”
15 Ket inlibak ni Sarah daytoy a kinunana, “Saanak a nagkatawa,” ta nagbuteng isuna. Insungbatna, “Saan, nagkatawaka.”
Then Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not laugh,” for she was afraid. He said, “No, but you did laugh.”
16 Ket timmakderen dagiti lalaki tapno pumanaw ken kimmitada iti baba nga agturong iti Sodoma. Kimmuyog kadakuada ni Abraham tapno itulodna ida iti dalanda.
The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.
17 Ngem kinuna ni Yahweh, “Rumbeng kadi nga ilimedko kenni Abraham ti maipanggep iti ngannganin nga aramidek,
The LORD said, “Will I hide from Abraham what I do,
18 idinto a pudno nga agbalinto ni Abraham a naindaklan ken nabileg a nasion, ken mabendisionanto amin dagiti nasion iti daga kenkuana?
since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him?
19 Ta pinilik isuna tapno mabilinna dagiti annakna ken dagiti sumarsaruno a sangkabalayanna nga agtulnog iti wagas ni Yahweh, nga agaramid ti kinalinteg ken hustisia, tapno mabalin a tungpalen ni Yahweh kenni Abraham ti imbagana kenkuana.”
For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that the LORD may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him.”
20 Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Yahweh, “Gapu ta adu unay dagiti pammabasol a maibusor iti Sodoma ken Gomora, ken gapu ta nalabes unay dagiti basolda,
The LORD said, “Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,
21 bumabaak ita sadiay tapno kitaek no dakesda a kas kadagiti dimmanon a pammabasol kaniak. No saan, maammoakto.”
I will go down now, and see whether their deeds are as bad as the reports which have come to me. If not, I will know.”
22 Pimmanaw ngarud dagiti lallaki manipud sadiay, ket nagturongda idiay Sodoma. Ngem nagtalinaed a nakatakder ni Abraham iti sangoanan ni Yahweh.
The men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
23 Ket immasideg ni Abraham ket kinunana, “Iramanmo kadi a pukawen dagiti nalinteg kadagiti nadangkes?
Abraham came near, and said, “Will you consume the righteous with the wicked?
24 Nalabit nga adda limapulo a nalinteg iti uneg ti siudad. Pukawemto kadi daytoy ket saanmo a kaasian ti lugar gapu kadagiti limapulo a nalinteg nga adda sadiay?
What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it?
25 Sapay koma ta saanmo nga aramiden ti kasta a banag, nga iraman mo a papatayen dagiti nalinteg kadagiti nadangkes, ket matrato dagiti nalinteg a kas kadagiti nadangkes. Adayo koma nga aramidem iti kasta! Saan kadi a ti Ukom iti entero a daga ket agaramid iti nainkalintegan?”
May it be 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. Should not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
26 Kinuna ni Yahweh, “No makasarakak iti limapulo a nalinteg iti uneg ti siudad ti Sodoma, kaasiakto ti entero a lugar gapu kadakuada.”
The LORD said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place for their sake.”
27 Simmungbat ni Abraham a kinunana, “Kitaem ti inaramidko, a naturedak a nagsao iti Apok, uray no maysaak laeng a tapok ken dapo!
Abraham answered, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, although I am dust and ashes.
28 No ngay adda iti nakurang iti lima a limapulo a nalinteg? Dadaelem kadi ti sibubukel a siudad no kurang iti lima?” Ket kinunana, “Saankonto a dadaelen daytoy, no adda masarakak idiay nga uppat a pulo ket lima.”
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 Ngem nakisarita pay isuna kenkuana, a kinunana, “No ngay adda masarakan nga uppat a pulo sadiay?” Insungbatna, “Saanko nga aramiden daytoy maigapu iti uppat a pulo.”
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 Kinunana, “Pangngaasim Apo ta saanka nga agunget, ta agsaoak. Nalabit nga addanto masarakan a tallopulo sadiay.” Insungbatna, “Saanko nga aramiden daytoy, no adda masarakak a tallopulo sadiay.”
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 Kinunana, “Dispensarem koma ti turedko nga agsao iti Apok! Nalabit nga addanto masarakan a duapulo sadiay.” Insungbatna, “Saanko a dadaelen daytoy maigapu iti duapulo.”
He said, “See now, 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 Kamauddiananna kinunana, “Pangngaasim Apo ta saanka nga agunget, ta agsaoak iti daytoy maudi a gundaway. Nalabit nga addanto iti sangapulo masarakan sadiay.” Ket kinunana, “Saankonto a dadaelen daytoy maigapu iti sangapulo.”
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 Napan ni Yahweh iti dalanna apaman a nalpas a nakitungtong kenni Abraham, ket nagawid met ni Abraham.
The LORD went his way as soon as he had finished communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
