Genesis 18
1 Na LEUM GOD El sikyang nu sel Abraham ke insak oal sunal Mamre. Ke Abraham el muta ke mutunoa in lohm nuknuk sel, ke pacl na fol ke len uh,
And Jehovah appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.
2 el ngetak ac liye mwet tolu tu insac. Pacl se na el liyalosyak, el yula in osun nu selos. El faksufi
And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him. And when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,
3 ac fahk, “Mwet kacto, nunak munas nimet fahsr aliki lohm sik uh ac tia tui. Nga inge in kulansupwekowos.
and said, My lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.
4 Lela ngan use kutu kof in ohlla niowos. Kowos ku in monglawin ye lulin sak soko inge.
Let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
5 Nga fah use pac kutu mwe mongo in akkeye kowos, na kowos fah sifilpa fahsr. Kowos arulana akmwetyeyu ke kowos tuku nu lohm sik uh. Ke ma inge, fuhlema nga in kulansup nu suwos.” Ac eltal fahk nu sel, “Tarilana. Kut ac wi ma kom fahk an.”
And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and strengthen ye your heart. After that ye shall pass on, inasmuch as ye came to your servant. And they said, Do so as thou have said.
6 Abraham el sulaklak na som nu in lohm nuknuk uh ac fahk nu sel Sarah, “Aksaye, eis sie pak in flao wowo an, kasla, ac sang orauk kutu cake ah.”
And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.
7 Na el sifilpa yula nu yen un kosro uh muta we, ac sulela cow fusr na fisrasr ikwa ac factfat soko, ac sang nu sin mwet kulansap se, su sulaklak na akoela.
And Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it to the servant. And he hastened to dress it.
8 Ac el us kutu butter, milk, ac ikwen kosro, ac filiya mwe mongo inge ye mutun mwet tolu ah. Na el tupan enenu lalos ke elos mongo ye sak soko ah.
And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them. And he stood by them under the tree, and they ate.
9 Na elos siyuk sel, “El aya Sarah, mutan kiom?” Ac el fahk, “El a na lohm ah.”
And they said to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
10 Na sie selos fahk, “Malem eu tukun misenge nga ac foloko, na ac fah oasr wen se natul Sarah, mutan kiom.” Sarah el tu tokol ke mutunoa in lohm nuknuk uh, ac porongo.
And he said, I will certainly return to thee when the season comes round, and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.
11 Abraham ac Sarah arulana matuoh, ac tui musen mutan lal Sarah.
Now Abraham and Sarah were old, and well stricken in age. It had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
12 Ouinge Sarah el israsrla ac nunku in el sifacna, “Inge ke nga matuoh ac wanginla kuiyuk, ya nga ac srakna pwar in oan yurin mukul tumuk? Saya, el arulana matuoh pac.”
And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I have become old shall I have pleasure, my lord also being old?
13 Na LEUM GOD El siyuk sel Abraham, “Efu Sarah el ku israsr ac fahk, ‘Ya pwaye ku in oasr tulik se nutik ke nga arulana matuoh?’
And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I who am old certainly bear a child?
14 Ya oasr ma LEUM GOD El kofla nu kac? Oana ke nga fahk tari, tukun malem eu nga fah foloko, na ac fah oasr wen se natul Sarah.”
Is anything too hard for Jehovah? At the set time I will return to thee, when the season comes round, and Sarah shall have a son.
15 Ke sripen Sarah el sangeng, el lafwekin ac fahk, “Nga tiana israsr.” El topuk, “Pwaye, kom israsr.”
Then Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh, for she was afraid. And he said, No, but thou did laugh.
16 Na mwet ah tuyak in som, ac Abraham el welulos in wilkas nu selos. Na elos som nu ke acn se ma elos ac ku in ngeti ac liye acn Sodom.
And the men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. And Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 Ac LEUM GOD El fahk insial sifacna, “Nga fah tia okanla nu sel Abraham ma nga akola in oru.
And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham that which I do,
18 Fwilin tulik natul ac fah orala sie mutunfacl lulap ac ku, ac nga fah akinsewowoye mutunfacl nukewa kacl.
since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
19 Nga sulella ke sripen nga enenu elan ku in sapsap nu sin wen natul ac fwil nukewa tokol tuh elos in akosyu ac in oru ma pwaye ac suwohs. Elos fin akosyu, nga fah oru ma nukewa ma nga wulela tari kac nu sel.”
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 Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice, to the end that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham that which he has spoken of him.
20 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Abraham, “Oasr tukak na koluk lain acn Sodom ac Gomorrah, ac ma koluk lalos arulana yohk.
And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,
21 Nga enenu in oatula ac konauk lah ma tukakinyuk elos kac inge pwaye ku sutuu.”
I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which comes to me. And if not, I will know.
22 Na mwet luo ah tuyak som tulanya acn Sodom, tusruktu LEUM GOD El srakna oasr yorol Abraham.
And the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham yet stood before Jehovah.
23 Abraham el kalukyang nu yurin LEUM GOD ac siyuk, “Ya pwayena kom ac kunausla mwet wangin mwata wi na mwet koluk uh?
And Abraham drew near, and said, Will thou consume righteous men with wicked men?
24 Fin oasr mwet wangin mwata lumngaul in siti uh, ya kom ac kunausla siti nufon sac? Ya kom ac tia lela in oanna ke sripen mwet lumngaul uh?
Perhaps there are fifty righteous men within the city. Will thou consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous men that are in it?
25 Kalem lah kom tia ku in uniya mwet wangin mwata wi mwet koluk. Ac tia ku in angan! Kom koflana oru ma sacn. Kom fin oru angan, na mwet suwohs uh ac fah kalyeiyuk oapana mwet koluk uh. Tiana ku in angan. El su nununku faclu nufon enenu na in orekma in suwohs.”
That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay a righteous man with a wicked man, that so the righteous man should be as the wicked man. Far be it from thee. Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
26 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fin konauk mwet suwoswos lumngaul in Sodom, nga fah tia kunausla siti nufon sac ke sripalos.”
And Jehovah said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous men within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake.
27 Abraham el sifilpa fahk, “LEUM GOD, nunak munas, tuleyula ke kuinsrim luk in kaskas nu sum. Mwet na lusrongten se pa nga uh, ac nga kupansuwol in fahk kutena ma.
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to the Lord, who am but dust and ashes.
28 Fin mwet suwoswos na angngaul limekosr, ac tia lumngaul, ya kom ac srakna kunausla siti nufon sac mweyen mwet limekosr pueni?” LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah tia kunausla siti sac nga fin konauk mwet suwoswos angngaul limekosr.
Perhaps there shall lack five of the fifty righteous men. Will thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I find there forty-five.
29 Ac Abraham el sifilpa fahk, “Ac fin mwet angngaul na?” LEUM GOD El topuk, “Nga ac tia pac kunausla fin oasr mwet angngaul.”
And he spoke to him yet again, and said, Perhaps there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for the forty's sake.
30 Abraham el fahk, “LEUM GOD, nunak munas nikmet kasrkusrak, a nga srakna ke sifilpa kaskas. Fin mwet na tolngoul? El fahk, “Nga ac tia pac kunausla nga fin konauk mwet tolngoul.”
And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Perhaps there shall be thirty found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
31 Abraham el fahk, “O Leum, nunak munas ke nga siayuk in kusen siyuk nu sum uh. Ac fin pa mwet na longoul koneyukyak we?” El fahk, “Nga ac tia pac kunausla siti sac, nga fin konauk longoul.”
And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to the Lord. Perhaps there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the twenty's sake.
32 Abraham el fahk, “O Leum, nunak munas nikmet kasrkusrak, ma na safla se pa nge. Ac fin mwet na singoul koneyukyak?” Ac El fahk, “Nga fah tia pac kunausla fin oasr mwet singoul.”
And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once. Perhaps ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten's sake.
33 Tukun el kaskas nu sel Abraham tari, LEUM GOD El som, ac Abraham el folokla nu acn sel.
And Jehovah went his way as soon as he had left off conversing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
