Pirmā Mozus 18
1 Un Tas Kungs viņam parādījās pie Mamres ozoliem, kad viņš sēdēja sava nama durvīs, ap dienas karstumu.
Then the Lord appeared to him, in the steep valley of Mamre, when he was sitting at the door of his tent, in the very heat of the day.
2 Un viņš pacēla savas acis un skatījās, un redzi, trīs vīri stāvēja viņa priekšā.
And when he had lifted up his eyes, there appeared to him three men, standing near him. When he had seen them, he ran to meet them from the door of his tent, and he reverenced them on the ground.
3 Un tos ieraudzījis viņš tiem tecēja pretī no dzīvokļa durvīm un nometās pie zemes un sacīja: Kungs, ja es esmu žēlastību atradis Tavās acīs, tad lūdzams neej garām Savam kalpam.
And he said: “If I, O lord, have found grace in your eyes, do not pass by your servant.
4 Lai atnes drusciņ ūdens, un mazgājiet savas kājas un apmetaties apakš šī koka.
But I will bring a little water, and you may wash your feet and rest under the tree.
5 Un es dabūšu kādu kumosu maizes, ka jūs atspirdzināt savu sirdi; pēc varat iet; jo tāpēc jūs esat pie sava kalpa nākuši. Un tie sacīja: dari, kā tu esi sacījis.
And I will set out a meal of bread, so that you may strengthen your heart; after this you will pass on. It is for this reason that you have turned aside to your servant.” And they said, “Do as you have spoken.”
6 Un Ābrahāms traucās dzīvoklī pie Sāras un sacīja: steidzies, ņem sijātu miltu trīs mērus, samīci un cep karašas.
Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and he said to her, “Quickly, mix together three measures of the finest wheat flour and make loaves baked under the ashes.”
7 Un Ābrāams notecēja pie lopiem un ņēma vienu mīkstu un labu teļu un deva to puisim, un tas steidzās to sataisīt.
In truth, he himself ran to the herd, and he took a calf from there, very tender and very good, and he gave it to a servant, who hurried and boiled it.
8 Un viņš ņēma sviestu un pienu un to teļu, ko bija sataisījis, un cēla tiem priekšā un stāvēja pats pie tiem apakš tā koka, un tie ēda.
Likewise, he took butter and milk, and the calf which he had boiled, and he placed it before them. Yet truly, he himself stood near them under the tree.
9 Tad tie uz viņu sacīja: kur ir Sāra, tava sieva? Un viņš sacīja: redzi, iekšā dzīvoklī.
And when they had eaten, they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” He answered, “Behold, she is in the tent.”
10 Un tas sacīja: nāktin Es atnākšu pie tevis ap šo laiku nākamā gadā; un redzi, Sārai, tavai sievai, būs dēls. Un Sāra to dzirdēja dzīvokļa durvīs; jo tās bija aiz viņa.
And he said to him, “When returning, I will come to you at this time, with life as a companion, and your wife Sarah will have a son.” Hearing this, Sarah laughed behind the door of the tent.
11 Bet Ābrahāms un Sāra bija veci un daudz dienas piedzīvojuši, un pie Sāras vairs nebija, kā sievām mēdz būt.
Now they were both old, and in an advanced state of life, and it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
12 Tad Sāra pati pie sevis smējās sacīdama: vai tad man izdēdējušai būs kārība, un mans kungs ir vecīgs?
And she laughed secretly, saying, “After I have grown old, and my lord is elderly, shall I give myself to the work of delight?”
13 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Ābrahāmu: kam Sāra smējusies par to sacīdama: vai es tiešām dzemdēšu, veca būdama?
Then the Lord said to Abraham: “Why did Sarah laugh, saying: ‘How can I, an old woman, actually give birth?’
14 Vai tad kāda lieta Tam Kungam neiespējama? Noliktā laikā Es atnākšu pie tevis nākamā gadā, tad Sārai būs dēls.
Is anything difficult for God? According to the announcement, he will return to you at this same time, with life as a companion, and Sarah will have a son.”
15 Un Sāra liedzās sacīdama: es neesmu smējusies. Jo tai bija bail. Bet Viņš sacīja: nē, tu esi gan smējusies.
Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not laugh.” For she was terribly afraid. But the Lord said, “It is not so; for you did laugh.”
16 Tad tie vīri no turienes cēlās un griezās uz Sodomu. Un Ābrahāms gāja tiem līdz, tos pavadīdams.
Therefore, when the men had risen up from there, they directed their eyes against Sodom. And Abraham traveled with them, leading them.
17 Un Tas Kungs sacīja: vai man būs slēpt Ābrahāmam, ko gribu darīt?
And the Lord said: “How could I hide what I am about to do from Abraham,
18 Jo Ābrahāms būs par lielu un varenu tautu, un iekš viņa visi ļaudis virs zemes taps svētīti.
since he will become a great and very robust nation, and in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed?
19 Jo Es to esmu atzinis, lai viņš saviem bērniem un savam namam pēc sevis pavēl sargāt Tā Kunga ceļu, darot, kas taisnība un kas tiesa, ka Tas Kungs liktu nākt uz Ābrahāmu, ko Viņš tam runājis.
For I know that he will instruct his sons, and his household after him, to keep to the way of the Lord, and to act with judgment and justice, so that, for the sake of Abraham, the Lord may bring about all the things that he has spoken to him.”
20 Un Tas Kungs sacīja: liela brēkšana ir par Sodomu un Gomoru, un viņu grēki ļoti grūti.
And so the Lord said, “The outcry from Sodom and Gomorrah has been multiplied, and their sin has become exceedingly grievous.
21 Tad nu Es noiešu un lūkošu, vai tie visnotaļ ir darījuši pēc tās brēkšanas, kas Manā priekšā nākusi, vai ne; to Es gribu zināt.
I will descend and see whether they have fulfilled the work of the outcry that has reached me, or whether it is not so, in order that I may know.”
22 Un tie vīri griezās no turienes un gāja uz Sodomu; bet Ābrahāms stāvēja vēl Tā Kunga priekšā.
And they turned themselves from there, and they went toward Sodom. Yet in truth, Abraham still stood in the sight of the Lord.
23 Un Ābrahāms piegāja un sacīja: vai Tu samaitāsi taisno ar bezdievīgo?
And as they drew near, he said: “Will you destroy the just with the impious?
24 Varbūt, ka piecdesmit taisni tai pilsētā, vai Tu tos samaitāsi un to vietu nežēlosi to piecdesmit taisno dēļ, kas viņu starpā?
If there were fifty of the just in the city, will they perish with the rest? And will you not spare that place for the sake of fifty of the just, if they were in it?
25 Ne mūžam Tu tā nedarīsi, nonāvēdams taisno līdz ar bezdievīgo, ka taisnais būtu tā kā bezdievīgais; ne mūžam! - vai visas pasaules soģis nedarīs taisni?
Far be it from you to do this thing, and to kill the just with the impious, and for the just to be treated like the impious. No, this is not like you. You judge all the earth; you would never make such a judgment.”
26 Tad Tas Kungs sacīja: ja Es Sodomas pilsētā atradīšu piecdesmit taisnus, tad Es žēlošu visu to vietu viņu labad.
And the Lord said to him, “If I find in Sodom fifty of the just in the midst of the city, I will release the entire place because of them.”
27 Un Ābrahāms atbildēja un sacīja: redzi jel, es esmu iedrošinājies ar To Kungu runāt, jebšu es esmu pīšļi un pelni.
And Abraham responded by saying: “Since now I have begun, I will speak to my Lord, though I am dust and ashes.
28 Ja tur piecu trūktu no tiem piecdesmit taisniem, vai šo piecu dēļ Tu samaitātu visu to pilsētu? Un Viņš sacīja: Es to nesamaitāšu, ja tur atradīšu četrdesmit un piecus.
What if there were five less than fifty of the just? Would you, despite the forty-five, eliminate the entire city?” And he said, “I will not eliminate it, if I find forty-five there.”
29 Tad tas joprojām runāja uz Viņu un sacīja: ja tur atrastos četrdesmit? Un Viņš sacīja: Es nekā nedarīšu to četrdesmit labad.
And again he said to him, “But if forty were found there, what would you do?” He said, “I will not strike, for the sake of the forty.”
30 Un tas sacīja: neapskaities, Kungs, lūdzams, ka es vēl runāju: ja tur atrastos trīsdesmit? Un Viņš sacīja: Es to nedarīšu, ja atradīšu trīsdesmit.
“I ask you,” he said, “not to be angry, Lord, if I speak. What if thirty were found there?” He responded, “I will not act, if I find thirty there.”
31 Un tas sacīja: redzi jel, es esmu iedrošinājies uz To Kungu runāt: ja tur atrastos divdesmit? Un Viņš sacīja: Es nesamaitāšu to divdesmit labad.
“Since now I have begun,” he said, “I will speak to my Lord. What if twenty were found there?” He said, “I will not put to death, for the sake of the twenty.”
32 Un tas sacīja: neapskaities, Kungs, lūdzams, ka es vēl vienreiz runāju, - ja tur atrastos desmit? Un Viņš sacīja: Es nesamaitāšu to desmit labad.
“I beg you,” he said, “not to be angry, Lord, if I speak yet once more. What if ten were found there?” And he said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten.”
33 Tad Tas Kungs aizgāja, kad bija beidzis uz Ābrahāmu runāt, un Ābrahāms griezās atpakaļ uz savu vietu.
And the Lord departed, after he had ceased speaking to Abraham, who then returned to his place.
