< Jenesis 18 >
1 Abrahamu'a zagemo tusi amuho higeno, Mamrea hunagru hu'nea oki zafa agafare seli noma'a kasante mani'negeno, Ra Anumzamo'a anante ehanati'ne.
Then the LORD appeared to Abraham by the Oaks of Mamre in the heat of the day, while he was sitting at the entrance of his tent.
2 Seli noma'a kasante mani'nereti kesga huno keana, taregi magoki vahe oti'nageno keteno, agareno viazamo zamagafi ome arena areno kepri huno,
And Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he ran from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.
3 anage hu'ne, Ranimota nagrama knare nehanugeta musema nehusuta eri'za vahetami mani'nogu muse huramantoanki nagatereta eoviho!
“My lord,” said Abraham, “if I have found favor in your sight, please do not pass your servant by.
4 Muse huramantoanki ama zafa agafare manigsa hunenke'za osia tina afi'za eme tamina tamaga sese hiho.
Let a little water be brought, that you may wash your feet and rest yourselves under the tree.
5 Ana nehanage'na ne'zana uri'na eme taminena neneta manifru huteta kama vanarega vugahaze. Eri'za vahekamo'na noni'a kasante nantu ante nante'nagu ne'zana neteta vugahaze, hige'za knareki kema hanaza huo.
And I will bring a bit of bread so that you may refresh yourselves. This is why you have passed your servant’s way. After that, you may continue on your way.” “Yes,” they replied, “you may do as you have said.”
6 Anage hazageno Abrahamu'a ame huno noma'afi umarerino amanage huno nenaro Serana asamine, Knare hu'nesnia flaua tagufa kevu urinka eme herunka bretia kro,
So Abraham hurried into the tent and said to Sarah, “Quick! Prepare three seahs of fine flour, knead it, and bake some bread.”
7 nehuno Abrahamu'a agareno vuno bulimaka'afinti anenta afu ome aheno eri'za vahe'a eme amigeno, hantka huno erino ome kre'ne.
Meanwhile, Abraham ran to the herd, selected a tender and choice calf, and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it.
8 Abrahamu'a meme'mofo ami rima'a tagino eme ante nezmanteno, ko'ma kragefe'neama'a erino kaone eme ante nezamanteno tva'onte zafa agafare otino mani'nege'za ne'naze.
Then Abraham brought curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and he set them before the men and stood by them under the tree as they ate.
9 Nene'za mani'ne'za Abrahamuna amanage hu'za antahige'naze, Negnaro Sera'a iga mani'ne? Hazageno Abrahamu'a huno, Ami seli nompi mani'ne.
“Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked. “There, in the tent,” he replied.
10 Higeno anampinti mago'mo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Henka'a ama ana knare'ma esnuana negnaro Sera'a ne' mofavre kasente'nena egahue. Huno nehigeno agu'afi Sera'a seli no kasama'are mani'neno ana ke antahi'ne.
Then the LORD said, “I will surely return to you at this time next year, and your wife Sarah will have a son!” Now Sarah was behind him, listening at the entrance to the tent.
11 Abrahamuke ozafa tavava rakeno, kafu zanimo'a agaterege'ne. Sera'a mofavre antega osu'negeno avufagamo ampasagigeno mani'ne.
And Abraham and Sarah were already old and well along in years; Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.
12 Ana higeno Sera'ma ana kema nentahino'a agu'afi kiza nereno amanage huno agesa antahi'ne, Nagrane ranimo'enena ozafa tavava renoanki, inankna huno mofavrea fore huraminogu nehie?
So she laughed to herself, saying, “After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?”
13 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Abrahamuna asami'ne, Nahigeno Sera'a kizana nereno, tavavamo'na inankna huna mofavrea kasenteku hugeno nehie huno nehie?
And the LORD asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Can I really bear a child when I am old?’
14 Nazamo Ra Anumzamofona amuho huntegahie? Anaga'a kafufina ama ana knare, Sera'a ne' mofavre kasente'nena egahie.
Is anything too difficult for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you—in about a year—and Sarah will have a son.”
15 Sera'a amano vazigeno havige huno, A'o kizana ore nogenka nehane, huno higeno Anumzamo huno, A'o kagra kiza re'nane.
But Sarah was afraid, so she denied it and said, “I did not laugh.” “No,” replied the LORD, “but you did laugh.”
16 Ana tagufa vahe'mo'za oti'za vunaku nehu'za, Sodomu kuma me'nea kaziga zamavurga negageno (Abrahamu kantega ome zamatreteno enaku nevigeno),
When the men got up to leave, they looked out over Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them off.
17 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Menima hunaku'ma nehua zana Abrahamu avurera eri frara okisue.
And the LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?
18 Tamage huno Abrahamumpinti tusi'a hankavenentake vahe fore hu'za kuma ante'za manigahaze. Kokankoka mika kumate vahe'mo'za agripinti asomura erigahaze.
Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and through him all the nations of the earth will be blessed.
19 Nagra Abrahamuna huhamprinte'noankino mofavre'ane, agehe'ine huvempa keni'a rempi huzamisige'za, mani fatgo hu'za nemaniza fatgoma huno refkoma hu avu'ava zana nehu'za Ra Anumzamo'na kante vanazegu huhamprinte'noe.
For I have chosen him, so that he will command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, in order that the LORD may bring upon Abraham what He has promised.”
20 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Sodomune Gomora vahe'mokizmia tusi'a kumizmimofo kezanke antahue, hankino kumi'zmimo'a tusi'a zampi mareri'ne.
Then the LORD said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great. Because their sin is so grievous,
21 E'ina hu'nagu kumi zmimofo zamagenkema antahi'noa zana tamagefi, urami'na ome zamage'na antahina hanue.
I will go down to see if their actions fully justify the outcry that has reached Me. If not, I will find out.”
22 Anage nehige'ne tare netremokea rukrahe hu'ne Sodomu kaziga vu'na'e. Nevakeno Abrahamu'a anante Ra Anumzamo'ene oti'ne.
And the two men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD.
23 Hagi Abrahamu'a erava'o huno Ra Anumzamofona anage huno antahige'ne, Ana kumapima fatgo vahe'ene, hazenke vahe'ene mani'nazana ana maka zamahe fanane hugahano?
Abraham stepped forward and said, “Will You really sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
24 Hagi 50'a ana kumapima fatgo vahe'ma mani'nesazana, ana 50'a fatgo vahera zamahoke henka ana kumara zamahe fanane osugahano?
What if there are fifty righteous ones in the city? Will You really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous ones who are there?
25 E'i kagri kavu kvara omane'neankinka, havi vahe'ene fatgo vahe'enema zamahe fanane hananke'za havi vahe'ene, fatgo vahe'mo'zanena mago'zahu knazana e'origahaze. Mika mopafi vahe'mota mago'zanke hunka Kagra refko hunerantane.
Far be it from You to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Will not the Judge of all the earth do what is right?”
26 Higeno Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Nagra'ma kesugeno'ma 50'a fatgo vahe'ma Sodomu ran kumapima mani'nesazana, ana mika rankumara zamagriku hu'na zamahe fanane osugahue.
So the LORD replied, “If I find fifty righteous ones within the city of Sodom, on their account I will spare the whole place.”
27 Anante Abrahamu'a mago'ane antahigeno, Nagra kugusopage hu'na tanefake vahe'mo'na Ra Anumzamokane naneke nehue.
Then Abraham answered, “Now that I have ventured to speak to the Lord—though I am but dust and ashes—
28 Hagi 50'a fatgo vahe mani'nesafinti 5fu'a vahe'ma omanisnagenka, knare ama ana mika rankumara zamazeri havizana hugahampi? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a ete ke nona'a amanage hu'ne, Kesugenoma 45'a fatgo vahe'ma mani'nesage'na Nagra zamazeri havizana osugahue.
suppose the fifty righteous ones lack five. Will You destroy the whole city for the lack of five?” He replied, “If I find forty-five there, I will not destroy it.”
29 Higeno Abrahamu'a mago'ene antahige'no, 40'a fatgo vahe mani'nesagenka knare zamahe fanane hugahano? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a ete ke nona'a hunteno, Kesugeno 40'a fatgo vahe'ma mani'nesage'na, Nagra zamazeri havizana osugahue.
Once again Abraham spoke to the LORD, “Suppose forty are found there?” He answered, “On account of the forty, I will not do it.”
30 Hagi Abrahamu'a mago'ane amanage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamoka mago'ane kea hugahuanki krimpa aheonanto, 30'a fatgo vahe mani'nesagenka knare zamazeri havizana hugahano? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a ke nona'a amanage hu'ne, Kesugeno'ma 30'a fatgo vahe'ma mani'nesage'na, Nagra zamazeri havizana osugahue.
Then Abraham said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak further. Suppose thirty are found there?” He replied, “If I find thirty there, I will not do it.”
31 Higeno Abrahamu'a mago'ene hanave e'nerino Ra Anumzamofo antahige'ne, 20'a fatgo vahe'ma mani'nesagenka knare zamahe fanane hugahano? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a kenona'a amanage hu'ne, Kesugenoma 20'a fatgo vahe'ma mani'nesage'na Nagra zamazeri havizana osugahue.
And Abraham said, “Now that I have ventured to speak to the Lord, suppose twenty are found there?” He answered, “On account of the twenty, I will not destroy it.”
32 Higeno Abrahamu'a anage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamoka mago'ene kantahigegahuanki krimpa aheonanto, 10ni'a fatgo vahe'ma mani'nesagenka knare zamahe fanane hugahano? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a ke nona'a amanage hu'ne, Kesanugenoma 10ni'a fatgo vahe'ma mani'nesage'na Nagra zamazeri havizana osugahue.
Finally, Abraham said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak once more. Suppose ten are found there?” And He answered, “On account of the ten, I will not destroy it.”
33 Hagi Anumzamo'ma Abrahamu'ene keaga huvagama nereno'a atreno vigeno, Abrahamu'a kuma'arega ete vu'ne.
When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, He departed, and Abraham returned home.
