Genesis 18
1 Apparuit autem ei Dominus in convalle Mambre sedenti in ostio tabernaculi sui in ipso fervore diei.
Pea naʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kiate ia ʻi he fonua ʻo Mamili, ʻi heʻene nofo ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻi he pupuha ʻoe ʻaho.
2 Cumque elevasset oculos, apparuerunt ei tres viri stantes prope eum: quos cum vidisset, cucurrit in occursum eorum de ostio tabernaculi, et adoravit in terram.
Pea hanga hake ʻe ia hono mata ʻo sio, pea vakai, ʻoku tutuʻu mai ʻae tangata ʻe toko tolu kiate ia: pea ʻi heʻene mamata ki ai, naʻa ne lele mei he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ke fakafetaulaki kiate kinautolu, pea naʻe punou hifo ia ki he kelekele,
3 Et dixit: Domine, si inveni gratiam in oculis tuis, ne transeas servum tuum:
ʻO ne pehē, “Ko hoku ʻEiki, ko eni, kapau kuo u maʻu ʻae lelei ʻi ho ʻao, ʻofa ke ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu mei hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.
4 sed afferam pauxillum aquæ, et lavate pedes vestros, et requiescite sub arbore.
Tuku ke ʻomi ha vai siʻi, pea fufulu homou vaʻe, pea mou mālōlō ʻi he lolo ʻakau.
5 Ponamque buccellam panis, et confortate cor vestrum: postea transibitis: idcirco enim declinastis ad servum vestrum. Qui dixerunt: Fac ut locutus es.
Pea te u ʻomi ha konga mā, pea fakafiemālie homou loto; pea hili ia te mou ʻalu; he ko ia kuo mou haʻu ai ki hoʻomou tamaioʻeiki.” Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ke ke fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea.”
6 Festinavit Abraham in tabernaculum ad Saram, dixitque ei: Accelera, tria sata similæ commisce, et fac subcinericios panes.
Pea ʻalu fakatoʻotoʻo ʻa ʻEpalahame ki he fale, kia Sela ʻo ne pehē, “Teuteu fakavave ʻae fua ʻe tolu ʻoe mahoaʻa lelei ʻo natu ia, ʻo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā, pea taʻo ia ʻi he ngotoʻumu.
7 Ipse vero ad armentum cucurrit, et tulit inde vitulum tenerrimum et optimum, deditque puero: qui festinavit et coxit illum.
Pea lele ʻa ʻEpalahame ki he fanga manu, ʻo ne toʻo mei ai ʻae ʻuhiki pulu molu mo lelei, ʻo ne ʻatu ia ki ha talavou pea naʻa ne fakatoʻotoʻo ʻa hono ngaohi.
8 Tulit quoque butyrum et lac, et vitulum quem coxerat, et posuit coram eis: ipse vero stabat juxta eos sub arbore.
Pea ne toʻo mai ʻae pota, mo e huʻahuhu, pea mo e ʻuhiki pulu naʻa ne ngaohi, ʻo ne tuku ia ʻi honau ʻao; pea tuʻu ia ʻo ofi kiate kinautolu ʻi he lolo ʻakau, pea naʻa nau kai.”
9 Cumque comedissent, dixerunt ad eum: Ubi est Sara uxor tua? Ille respondit: Ecce in tabernaculo est.
Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e fē ʻa Sela, ko ho uaifi?” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi he fale fehikitaki ia.”
10 Cui dixit: Revertens veniam ad te tempore isto, vita comite, et habebit filium Sara uxor tua. Quo audito, Sara risit post ostium tabernaculi.
Pea ne pehē, “Ko e moʻoni te u toe haʻu kiate koe, ʻi he kuonga totonu; pea vakai, ʻe maʻu ʻe ho uaifi ko Sela, ha tama.” Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Sela ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ʻaia naʻe ʻi hono tuʻa.
11 Erant autem ambo senes, provectæque ætatis, et desierant Saræ fieri muliebria.
Pea naʻe motuʻa ʻa ʻEpalahame mo Sela, pea naʻe lahi hona taʻu: naʻe ʻikai kei ia Sela ʻae anga ʻoe fefine.
12 Quæ risit occulte dicens: Postquam consenui, et dominus meus vetulus est, voluptati operam dabo?
Ko ia naʻe katakata loto ai ʻa Sela, ʻo pehē, “He ko e moʻoni, te u nekeneka au, ka kuo u motuʻa, pea kuo motuʻa mo ʻeku ʻeiki foki?”
13 Dixit autem Dominus ad Abraham: Quare risit Sara, dicens: Num vere paritura sum anus?
Pea folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpalahame, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā naʻe kata ai ʻa Sela, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e moʻoni koā te u fanauʻi ha tama ʻeau ka kuo u motuʻa?’
14 Numquid Deo quidquam est difficile? juxta condictum revertar ad te hoc eodem tempore, vita comite, et habebit Sara filium.
He ʻoku ai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku faingataʻa kia Sihova? ʻI he kuonga kuo kotofa te u toe haʻu kiate koe, pea ʻe maʻu ʻe ho uaifi ko Sela ʻae tama.”
15 Negavit Sara, dicens: Non risi, timore perterrita. Dominus autem: Non est, inquit, ita: sed risisti.
Pea fakafisi ʻa Sela ʻo pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai te u kata;” he naʻa ne manavahē. Pea ne pehē, “ʻIkai, ka naʻa ke kata pe.”
16 Cum ergo surrexissent inde viri, direxerunt oculos contra Sodomam: et Abraham simul gradiebatur, deducens eos.
Pea tuʻu hake ʻae kau tangata mei ai, pea hanga atu ki Sotoma, pea ʻalu ʻa ʻEpalahame mo kinautolu, ke moimoiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he hala.
17 Dixitque Dominus: Num celare potero Abraham quæ gesturus sum:
Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “He te u fufū mei ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻae meʻa te u fai?
18 cum futurus sit in gentem magnam, ac robustissimam, et benedicendæ sint in illo omnes nationes terræ?
He ko e moʻoni ʻe hoko ʻa ʻEpalahame ko e puleʻanga lahi mo mālohi ʻaupito, pea ʻe monūʻia ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
19 Scio enim quod præcepturus sit filiis suis, et domui suæ post se ut custodiant viam Domini, et faciant judicium et justitiam: ut adducat Dominus propter Abraham omnia quæ locutus est ad eum.
He ʻoku ou ʻiloʻi ia, te ne fekau ʻene fānau mo hono kau nofoʻanga kotoa pē tuku fakaholo, pea te nau ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻo Sihova, ke fai ʻae angatonu, mo e fakamaau: koeʻuhi ke fakahoko ʻe Sihova kia ʻEpalahame, ʻaia kotoa pē kuo ne lea ʻaki kiate ia.”
20 Dixit itaque Dominus: Clamor Sodomorum et Gomorrhæ multiplicatus est, et peccatum eorum aggravatum est nimis.
Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “Koeʻuhi kuo lahi ʻae tangi ʻa Sotoma mo Komola, pea kuo hoko ʻo kovi ʻaupito ʻenau angahala;
21 Descendam, et videbo utrum clamorem qui venit ad me, opere compleverint; an non est ita, ut sciam.
Ko ia te u ʻalu hifo ni, ʻo mamata, pe kuo nau fai kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e tangi ʻo ia, ʻaia kuo aʻu mai kiate au: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, pea te u ʻilo.”
22 Converteruntque se inde, et abierunt Sodomam: Abraham vero adhuc stabat coram Domino.
Pea naʻe hanga atu mei ai ʻae mata ʻoe ongo tangata ke na ʻalu atu ki Sotoma: ka naʻe kei tuʻu pe ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
23 Et appropinquans ait: Numquid perdes justum cum impio?
Pea ʻunuʻunu atu ke ofi ʻa ʻEpalahame, ʻo ne pehē, “Pea te ke fakaʻauha fakataha ʻae angatonu mo e angahala?
24 si fuerint quinquaginta justi in civitate, peribunt simul? et non parces loco illi propter quinquaginta justos, si fuerint in eo?
Naʻa ʻoku ʻi he kolo ʻae angatonu ʻe toko nimangofulu: pea te ke fakaʻauha foki, ka ʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui ʻae potu, koeʻuhi ko e angatonu ʻe toko nimangofulu ʻoku ʻi ai?
25 Absit a te ut rem hanc facias, et occidas justum cum impio, fiatque justus sicut impius, non est hoc tuum: qui judicas omnem terram, nequaquam facies judicium hoc.
Ke mamaʻo ʻiate koe ha fai pehē, ke tāmateʻi ʻae angatonu fakataha mo e angahala, pea ke fakatatau ʻae angatonu ki he angahala, ke mamaʻo ia ʻiate koe: ʻikai ʻe fai totonu ʻae Fakamaau ʻo māmani kotoa pē?”
26 Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Si invenero Sodomis quinquaginta justos in medio civitatis, dimittam omni loco propter eos.
Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “Kapau te u ʻilo ʻi Sotoma ʻae angatonu ʻe toko nimangofulu, te u fakamoʻui ʻae potu kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko kinautolu.”
27 Respondensque Abraham, ait: Quia semel cœpi, loquar ad Dominum meum, cum sim pulvis et cinis.
Pea lea ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai, ko eni kuo u lea au kia Sihova, ka ko e efu, mo e efuefu pe au:
28 Quid si minus quinquaginta justis quinque fuerint? delebis, propter quadraginta quinque, universam urbem? Et ait: Non delebo, si invenero ibi quadraginta quinque.
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ʻae toko nima ʻi he toko nimangofulu ʻoku angatonu: pea te ke fakaʻauha ʻae kolo kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ko e toko nima? Pea pehē ʻe ia, kapau te u ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko fāngofulu ma toko nima, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaʻauha ia.”
29 Rursumque locutus est ad eum: Sin autem quadraginta ibi inventi fuerint, quid facies? Ait: Non percutiam propter quadraginta.
Pea ne toe lea kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Pea kapau ʻe ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko fāngofulu.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻikai te u fai ia, koeʻuhi koe toko fāngofulu ko ia.”
30 Ne quæso, inquit, indigneris, Domine, si loquar: quid si ibi inventi fuerint triginta? Respondit: Non faciam, si invenero ibi triginta.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOfa ke ʻoua naʻa houhau ʻa Sihova, pea te u lea: Kapau ʻe ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko tolungofulu.” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “E ʻikai te u fai ia, ʻo kapau te u ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko tolungofulu.”
31 Quia semel, ait, cœpi loquar ad Dominum meum: quid si ibi inventi fuerint viginti? Ait: Non interficiam propter viginti.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai, kuo u lea ni kia Sihova: Kapau ʻe ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko uofulu.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻikai te u fakaʻauha ia koeʻuhi ko e toko uofulu ko ia.”
32 Obsecro, inquit, ne irascaris, Domine, si loquar adhuc semel: quid si inventi fuerint ibi decem? Et dixit: Non delebo propter decem.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOfa ke ʻoua naʻa houhau ʻa Sihova, pea te u lea ni ʻo tā tuʻo taha pe; Kapau ʻe ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko hongofulu.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻikai te u fakaʻauha ia, koeʻuhi ko e toko hongofulu ko ia.”
33 Abiitque Dominus, postquam cessavit loqui ad Abraham: et ille reversus est in locum suum.
Pea hāʻele atu ai ʻa Sihova ʻi hono hala, hili ʻena alea mo ʻEpalahame; pea liu mai ʻa ʻEpalahame ki hono potu.
