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.
One day during that year when it was hot, Yahweh appeared to Abraham again near the big trees that belonged to Mamre, while Abraham was sitting in the entrance to 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,
Abraham looked up [MTY] and was surprised to see three men standing near him. [Actually, one was Yahweh, and the other two were angels]. When he saw them, he ran to meet them. He prostrated himself with his face on the ground to show respect,
3 anage hu'ne, Ranimota nagrama knare nehanugeta musema nehusuta eri'za vahetami mani'nogu muse huramantoanki nagatereta eoviho!
and said [to one of them], “Sir, if you are pleased with me, stay here for a little while [LIT].
4 Muse huramantoanki ama zafa agafare manigsa hunenke'za osia tina afi'za eme tamina tamaga sese hiho.
Allow my servants to bring a little water and wash your feet, and rest under this 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.
Since you have come here to me, allow me to bring you some food [SYN] so that you can feel refreshed before you leave.” Yahweh replied, “All right, 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 quickly went into the tent and said to Sarah, “Quick, get some of our best flour and make some loaves of 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.
Then he ran to the herd of cattle and selected a calf whose meat would be tender and tasty. He gave it to one of his servants [and told him to] quickly kill it and cook 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.
When the meat was cooked, Abraham brought some curds and milk and the meat that had been prepared, and set them in front of his visitors. Then he stood near them, under a tree, while 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.
[One of] them asked him, “Where is Sarah, your wife?” He replied, “She is in the tent.”
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 leader of the group said, “I will return to you (about this time/in the springtime) next year, and to your amazement, your wife Sarah will have an infant son.” It happened that Sarah was listening at the entrance of the tent, which was behind the one who was speaking.
11 Abrahamuke ozafa tavava rakeno, kafu zanimo'a agaterege'ne. Sera'a mofavre antega osu'negeno avufagamo ampasagigeno mani'ne.
Abraham and Sarah were very old, and Sarah was far past the time of when she could bear children.
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 Sarah laughed to herself, thinking, “My body is worn out, and my husband is old. So how can I have the pleasure [of having a child]?” [RHQ]
13 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Abrahamuna asami'ne, Nahigeno Sera'a kizana nereno, tavavamo'na inankna huna mofavrea kasenteku hugeno nehie huno nehie?
Yahweh said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? Why was she thinking, ‘I am too old, so how can I bear a child?’
14 Nazamo Ra Anumzamofona amuho huntegahie? Anaga'a kafufina ama ana knare, Sera'a ne' mofavre kasente'nena egahie.
I am Yahweh! (Is there anything too difficult for me?/There is nothing too difficult for me!) [RHQ] I will return about this time next year in the springtime, and Sarah will have an infant son.”
15 Sera'a amano vazigeno havige huno, A'o kizana ore nogenka nehane, huno higeno Anumzamo huno, A'o kagra kiza re'nane.
Then Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, “I did not laugh.” But Yahweh said, “Don’t deny it! 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 three men got up to leave, they looked down into the valley toward Sodom [city]. Abraham was walking with them to say “goodbye” to them.
17 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Menima hunaku'ma nehua zana Abrahamu avurera eri frara okisue.
Yahweh thought to himself, “It is not right for me to prevent Abraham from knowing what I plan to do [RHQ].
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’s descendants [MTY] will become a great and powerful nation. And people of [MTY] all nations will be blessed because of what I do for him.
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.
I have chosen him in order that he will teach his children and their families to obey me and do what is right and fair, and then I will do for Abraham what I 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.
So Yahweh said to Abraham, “I have heard the terrible things that have been said about the people of [MTY] Sodom and Gomorrah. Their sins are very great.
21 E'ina hu'nagu kumi zmimofo zamagenkema antahi'noa zana tamagefi, urami'na ome zamage'na antahina hanue.
So I will go down now, and I will see if all the terrible things that I have heard are true or not true.”
22 Anage nehige'ne tare netremokea rukrahe hu'ne Sodomu kaziga vu'na'e. Nevakeno Abrahamu'a anante Ra Anumzamo'ene oti'ne.
Then the two men turned and started walking toward Sodom. But Yahweh remained, standing in front of Abraham.
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 came closer to him and said, “Will you really destroy righteous people along with wicked ones?
24 Hagi 50'a ana kumapima fatgo vahe'ma mani'nesazana, ana 50'a fatgo vahera zamahoke henka ana kumara zamahe fanane osugahano?
What will you do if there are only 50 righteous people in the city? Will you really get rid of them all, and not spare the place/city for the sake of the 50 righteous people who are in the city?
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.
It would certainly not be right for you to do such a thing, to kill righteous people along with wicked ones, and treat righteous people and wicked people the same way. You could not do that, because you, who are the judge of everyone on the earth, will certainly do what is right [regarding the people of Sodom]!” [RHQ]
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.
Yahweh replied, “If I find 50 righteous people in Sodom, I will spare the whole place/city for their sake.”
27 Anante Abrahamu'a mago'ane antahigeno, Nagra kugusopage hu'na tanefake vahe'mo'na Ra Anumzamokane naneke nehue.
Abraham replied, “I should not be bold like this and speak to you, God, because I am as worthless as dust and ashes [MET].
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.
But what will you do if there are only 45 righteous people? Will you destroy everyone in the whole city because there are only 45 and not 50 righteous people?” Yahweh replied, “I will not destroy it if I find that there are 45 righteous people.”
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.
Abraham continued to speak to him [like this], saying, “What will you do if you find that there are only 40 righteous people there?” Yahweh replied, “I will not destroy them all, for the sake of the 40.”
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.
Abraham said, “God, please don’t be angry now. Let me speak again. What will you do if there are only 30 righteous people?” He replied, “I will not do it if I find that there are 30 there.”
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.
Abraham said, “I should not be bold and speak to you like this, God. But what will you do if you find that there are only 20 righteous people there?” He replied, “I will not destroy the whole city, for the sake of those 20.”
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.
Abraham said, “God, don’t be angry now. Just let me speak one time more. What will you do if you find that there are only ten righteous people there?” Yahweh answered, “I will not destroy the city for the sake of those ten.”
33 Hagi Anumzamo'ma Abrahamu'ene keaga huvagama nereno'a atreno vigeno, Abrahamu'a kuma'arega ete vu'ne.
Abraham said no more, and as soon as Yahweh finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home.
