< 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.
The LORD appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.
2 Seli noma'a kasante mani'nereti kesga huno keana, taregi magoki vahe oti'nageno keteno, agareno viazamo zamagafi ome arena areno kepri huno,
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 anage hu'ne, Ranimota nagrama knare nehanugeta musema nehusuta eri'za vahetami mani'nogu muse huramantoanki nagatereta eoviho!
and said, “My lord, if now I have found favour in your sight, please don’t go away from your servant.
4 Muse huramantoanki ama zafa agafare manigsa hunenke'za osia tina afi'za eme tamina tamaga sese hiho.
Now let a little water be fetched, 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.
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 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,
Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Quickly prepare three seahs of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.”
7 nehuno Abrahamu'a agareno vuno bulimaka'afinti anenta afu ome aheno eri'za vahe'a eme amigeno, hantka huno erino ome kre'ne.
Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress 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.
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 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.
They asked him, “Where is Sarah, your wife?” He said, “There, 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.
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 Abrahamuke ozafa tavava rakeno, kafu zanimo'a agaterege'ne. Sera'a mofavre antega osu'negeno avufagamo ampasagigeno mani'ne.
Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. 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?
Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”
13 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Abrahamuna asami'ne, Nahigeno Sera'a kizana nereno, tavavamo'na inankna huna mofavrea kasenteku hugeno nehie huno nehie?
The LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Will 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 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 Sera'a amano vazigeno havige huno, A'o kizana ore nogenka nehane, huno higeno Anumzamo huno, A'o kagra kiza re'nane.
Then Sarah denied it, saying, “I didn’t laugh,” for she was afraid. He said, “No, 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),
The men rose up from there, and looked towards Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.
17 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Menima hunaku'ma nehua zana Abrahamu avurera eri frara okisue.
The LORD said, “Will I hide from Abraham what I 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.
since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in 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.
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 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.
The LORD said, “Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,
21 E'ina hu'nagu kumi zmimofo zamagenkema antahi'noa zana tamagefi, urami'na ome zamage'na antahina hanue.
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 Anage nehige'ne tare netremokea rukrahe hu'ne Sodomu kaziga vu'na'e. Nevakeno Abrahamu'a anante Ra Anumzamo'ene oti'ne.
The men turned from there, and went towards Sodom, but Abraham stood yet 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 came near, and said, “Will you consume 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 within the city? Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it?
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.
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. Shouldn’t the Judge of all the earth do 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.
The LORD said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place for their sake.”
27 Anante Abrahamu'a mago'ane antahigeno, Nagra kugusopage hu'na tanefake vahe'mo'na Ra Anumzamokane naneke nehue.
Abraham answered, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, although I am 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.
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 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.
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 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.
He said, “Oh don’t 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 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.
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 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.
He said, “Oh don’t 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 Hagi Anumzamo'ma Abrahamu'ene keaga huvagama nereno'a atreno vigeno, Abrahamu'a kuma'arega ete vu'ne.
The LORD went his way as soon as he had finished communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
