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 God appeared to him by the oak of Mambre, as he sat by the door of his tent at noon.
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 beheld, and lo! three men stood before him; and having seen them he ran to meet them from the door of his tent, and did obeisance to the ground.
3 ac fahk, “Mwet kacto, nunak munas nimet fahsr aliki lohm sik uh ac tia tui. Nga inge in kulansupwekowos.
And he said, Lord, if indeed I have found grace in thy sight, pass not by thy servant.
4 Lela ngan use kutu kof in ohlla niowos. Kowos ku in monglawin ye lulin sak soko inge.
Let water now be brought, and let them wash your feet, and do ye refresh [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 bring bread, and ye shall eat, and after this ye shall depart on your journey, on account of which [refreshment] ye have turned aside to your servant. And he said, So do, as thou hast 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 Abraam hasted to the tent to Sarrha, and said to her, Hasten, and knead three measures of fine flour, 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 Abraam ran to the kine, and took a young calf, tender and good, and gave it to his servant, and he hasted 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 he set them before them, and they did eat, and he stood by them under the tree.
9 Na elos siyuk sel, “El aya Sarah, mutan kiom?” Ac el fahk, “El a na lohm ah.”
And he said to him, Where is Sarrha thy wife? And he answered and 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 return and come to thee according to this period seasonably, and Sarrha thy wife shall have a son; and Sarrha heard at the door of the tent, being behind him.
11 Abraham ac Sarah arulana matuoh, ac tui musen mutan lal Sarah.
And Abraam and Sarrha were old, advanced in days, and the custom of women ceased with Sarrha.
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 Sarrha laughed in herself, saying, The thing has not as yet happened to me, even until now, and my lord is 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 the Lord said to Abraam, Why is it that Sarrha has laughed in herself, saying, Shall I then indeed bear? but I am grown old.
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.”
Shall anything be impossible with the Lord? At this time I will return to thee seasonably, and Sarrha shall have a son.
15 Ke sripen Sarah el sangeng, el lafwekin ac fahk, “Nga tiana israsr.” El topuk, “Pwaye, kom israsr.”
But Sarrha denied, saying, I did not laugh, for she was afraid. And he said to her, Nay, but thou didst 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 having risen up from thence looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha. And Abraam went with them, attending them on their journey.
17 Ac LEUM GOD El fahk insial sifacna, “Nga fah tia okanla nu sel Abraham ma nga akola in oru.
And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraam my servant what things I intend to do?
18 Fwilin tulik natul ac fah orala sie mutunfacl lulap ac ku, ac nga fah akinsewowoye mutunfacl nukewa kacl.
But Abraam shall become a great and populous nation, and in him shall all the nations of the earth be blest.
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 know that he will order his sons, and his house after him, and they will keep the ways of the Lord, to do justice and judgment, that the Lord may bring upon Abraam all things whatsoever he has spoken to 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 the Lord said, The cry of Sodom and Gomorrha has been increased towards me, and their sins are very great.
21 Nga enenu in oatula ac konauk lah ma tukakinyuk elos kac inge pwaye ku sutuu.”
I will therefore go down and see, if they completely correspond with the cry which comes to me, and if not, that I may know.
22 Na mwet luo ah tuyak som tulanya acn Sodom, tusruktu LEUM GOD El srakna oasr yorol Abraham.
And the men having departed thence, came to Sodom; and Abraam was still standing before the Lord.
23 Abraham el kalukyang nu yurin LEUM GOD ac siyuk, “Ya pwayena kom ac kunausla mwet wangin mwata wi na mwet koluk uh?
And Abraam drew nigh and said, Wouldest thou destroy the righteous with the wicked, and shall the righteous be as the wicked?
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?
Should there be fifty righteous in the city, wilt thou destroy them? wilt thou not spare the whole place for the sake of the fifty righteous, if they be 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.”
By no means shalt thou do as this thing [is] so as to destroy the righteous with the wicked, so the righteous shall be as the wicked: by no means. Thou that judgest the whole earth, shalt thou not 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 the Lord said, If there should be in Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole city, and the whole place for their sakes.
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 Abraam answered and said, Now I have begun to speak to my Lord, and I am earth 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.
But if the fifty righteous should be diminished to forty-five, wilt thou destroy the whole city because of the five [wanting]? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I should 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 continued to speak to him still, and said, But if there should be found there forty? And he said, I will not destroy 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, Will there be anything [against me], Lord, if I shall speak? but if there be found there thirty? And he said, I will not destroy it for the thirty's sake.
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, Since I am able to speak to the Lord, what if there should be found there twenty? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I should find there twenty.
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, Will there be anything [against me], Lord, if I speak yet once? but if there should be found there ten? 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 the Lord departed, when he left off speaking to Abraam, and Abraam returned to his place.
