Olubereberye 18
1 Awo Mukama n’alabikira Ibulayimu mu mivule gya Mamule, mu ttuntu ng’atudde mu mulyango gwa weema ye.
And he appeared to him Yahweh at [the] great trees of Mamre and he [was] sitting [the] opening of the tent when [the] heat of the day.
2 Bwe yasitula amaaso ge n’alaba, era laba, abasajja basatu nga bayimiridde mu maaso ge. Bwe yabalaba, n’adduka okuva mu mulyango gwa weema ye, okubasisinkana n’agwa wansi,
And he lifted up eyes his and he saw and there! three men [were] standing with him and he saw and he ran to meet them from [the] opening of the tent and he bowed down [the] ground towards.
3 n’agamba nti, “Mukama wange obanga ndabye ekisa mu maaso go, toyita ku muddu wo.
And he said Lord my if please I have found favor in view your may not please you pass by from with servant your.
4 Leka tuleete otuzzi munaabe ku bigere, muwummuleko wano wansi w’omuti,
Let it be brought please a little of water and wash feet your and support yourself under the tree.
5 nga bwe ndeeta omugaati mulyeko muddemu amaanyi, mulyoke mugende, anti muzze eri muddu wammwe.” Ne bamugamba nti, “Kola nga bw’ogambye.”
So let me bring a piece of bread and sustain heart your (after *L(S)*) you will pass on for since you have passed by at servant your and they said thus you will do just as you have said.
6 Ibulayimu n’ayanguwa okugenda eri Saala, n’amugamba nti, “Teekateeka mangu kilo kkumi na mukaaga ez’obutta okande ofumbire mangu abagenyi emmere.”
And he hurried Abraham the tent towards to Sarah and he said bring quickly three seahs flour fine flour knead [it] and make bread cakes.
7 Ibulayimu n’agenda bunnambiro mu kisibo n’aggyamu ennyana, ento era ennungi n’agiwa omu ku bavubuka eyayanguwa okugifumba.
And to the herd he ran Abraham and he took a young one of [the] herd tender and good and he gave [it] to the servant and he hurried to prepare it.
8 Awo n’addira omuzigo n’amata n’ennyana eyafumbibwa n’abiteeka mu maaso gaabwe; n’ayimirira we baali, wansi w’omuti nga balya.
And he brought curd and milk and [the] young one of the herd which he had prepared and he set [it] before them and he [was] standing with them under the tree and they ate.
9 Ne bamubuuza nti, “Saala mukyala wo ali ludda wa?” N’addamu nti, “Ali mu weema.”
And they said to him where? [is] Sarah wife your and he said there! in the tent.
10 Awo omu ku bo n’amugamba nti, “Ddala ndikomawo gy’oli mu kiseera nga kino, era Saala mukazi wo alizaala omwana owoobulenzi.” Ne Saala yali awuliriza ng’ali mu mulyango gwa weema emabega we.
And he said certainly I will return to you about the time living and there! a son [will belong] to Sarah wife your and Sarah [was] listening [the] opening of the tent and it [was] behind him.
11 Mu kiseera kino Ibulayimu ne Saala baali bakaddiye nnyo nga Saala takyali na mu nsonga z’abakazi.
And Abraham and Sarah [were] old [having] come in days it had ceased to be to Sarah a way like women.
12 Awo Saala n’asekera muli ng’agamba nti, “Nga nkaddiye, nga ne baze akaddiye, ndisanyusibwa?”
And she laughed Sarah in inner being her saying after am worn out I has it be[longed]? to me pleasure and lord my he is old.
13 Mukama n’abuuza Ibulayimu nti, “Lwaki Saala asese ng’agamba nti, ‘Ndiyinza okuzaala omwana nga nkaddiye?’
And he said Yahweh to Abraham why? this did she laugh Sarah saying ¿ also really will I bear a child and I I am old.
14 Waliwo ekirema Mukama? Omwaka ogujja, mu kiseera kyennyini, ndikomawo gy’oli, ne Saala alizaala omwana owoobulenzi.”
¿ Is it [too] difficult for Yahweh anything to the appointed time I will return to you about the time living and [will belong] to Sarah a son.
15 Naye Saala ne yeegaana ng’agamba nti, “Si sese,” kubanga yali atidde. N’amuddamu nti, “Nedda osese.”
And she denied Sarah - saying not I laughed for - she was afraid and he said - In-deed you laughed.
16 Awo abasajja bwe bavaayo ne bagenda, ne boolekera oluuyi lwa Sodomu; Ibulayimu n’abawerekerako.
And they arose from there the men and they looked down on [the] face of Sodom and Abraham [was] walking with them to send off them.
17 Mukama n’agamba mu mutima gwe nti, “Ibulayimu namukweka kye ŋŋenda okukola?
And Yahweh he said ¿ [be] concealing [will] I from Abraham [that] which I [am] about to do.
18 Ibulayimu agenda kufuuka eggwanga eddene, ery’amaanyi, era mu ye, amawanga gonna mwe galiweerwa omukisa.
And Abraham certainly he will become a nation great and mighty and they will be blessed by him all [the] nations of the earth.
19 Mmulonze alagire abaana be n’abantu be abaliddawo okukwatanga ekkubo lya Mukama nga bakola eby’obutuukirivu era nga ba mazima, Mukama alyoke atuukirize ekyo kye yasuubiza Ibulayimu.”
For I have known him so that that he may command children his and household his after him and they will keep [the] way of Yahweh by doing righteousness and justice so that will bring Yahweh on Abraham [that] which he has spoken on him.
20 Awo Mukama n’agamba nti, “Olw’okunkaabirira okusukkiridde olw’ebibi bya Sodomu ne Ggomola ebingi ennyo,
And he said Yahweh [the] outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah for it is great and sin their that it is heavy exceedingly.
21 nzija kukka ndabe obanga ddala bakozi ba bibi ng’okunkaabirira olw’ebibi byabwe okutuuse gye ndi bwe kuli, era obanga si bwe kiri nnaamanya.”
I will go down please so I may see ¿ according to outcry its that has come to me have they done - completion and if not I will know.
22 Awo abasajja ne bakyuka okuva awo, ne batambula okwolekera Sodomu; naye Ibulayimu n’asigala ng’akyayimiridde mu maaso ga Mukama.
And they turned away from there the men and they went Sodom towards (and Abraham *L(S)*) still [was] he standing before (Yahweh. *L(S)*)
23 Awo Ibulayimu n’amusemberera n’agamba nti, “Ddala olizikiriza abatuukirivu awamu n’ababi?
And he drew near Abraham and he said ¿ also will you sweep away [the] righteous with [the] wicked.
24 Singa mu kibuga mulimu abatuukirivu amakumi ataano onookizikiriza n’otokisonyiwa olw’abatuukirivu amakumi ataano abakirimu?
Perhaps there [are] fifty righteous [people] in [the] midst of the city ¿ also will you sweep [it] away and not will you forgive? the place for [the] sake of fifty the righteous [people] who [are] in midst its.
25 Kireme okuba gy’oli okukola ekintu bwe kityo, okutta abatuukirivu awamu n’ababi, abatuukirivu ne benkana n’ababi! Kireme kuba bwe kityo! Omulamuzi ow’ensi yonna teyandisaanye akole kituufu?”
Far be it to you from doing - according to the manner this to put to death [the] righteous with [the] wicked and it will be as the righteous [person] as the wicked [person] far be it to you ¿ [the] judge of all the earth not will he do justice.
26 Mukama n’agamba nti, “Bwe nnaasanga mu Sodomu abatuukirivu amakumi ataano mu kibuga omwo nzija kusonyiwa ekibuga kyonna ku lwabwe.”
And he said Yahweh if I will find in Sodom fifty righteous [people] in [the] midst of the city and I will forgive all the place for sake of them.
27 Ibulayimu n’addamu nti, “Laba nnyinziza okwogera ne Mukama, nze ani, nze enfuufu n’evvu!
And he answered Abraham and he said here! please I have undertaken to speak to [the] Lord and I [am] dust and ash[es].
28 Singa abatuukirivu babulako bataano okuwera amakumi ataano, onoozikiriza ekibuga kubanga kubulako bataano?” N’amuddamu nti, “Sijja kukizikiriza, bwe nnaasangamu abatuukirivu amakumi ana mu abataano abampulira.”
Perhaps they will lack! fifty the righteous [people] five ¿ will you destroy for five all the city and he said not I will destroy [it] if I will find there forty and five.
29 Ate Ibulayimu n’amugamba nti, “Singa musangibwamu amakumi ana.” N’amuddamu nti, “Ku lw’amakumi ana sijja kukizikiriza.”
And he repeated again to speak to him and he said perhaps they will be found! there forty and he said not I will do [it] for sake of the forty.
30 Ate n’agamba nti, “Kale nno Mukama aleme okunsunguwalira, nange nnaayogera. Singa musangibwamu amakumi asatu.” N’addamu nti, “Sijja kukizikiriza singa musangibwamu amakumi asatu.”
And he said may not please it burn to [the] Lord and let me speak perhaps they will be found! there thirty and he said not I will do [it] if I will find there thirty.
31 N’agamba nti, “Laba ŋŋumye ne njogera ne Mukama. Singa musangibwamu amakumi abiri.” N’agamba nti, “Ku lw’amakumi abiri sijja kukizikiriza.”
And he said here! please I have undertaken to speak to [the] Lord perhaps they will be found! there twenty and he said not I will destroy [it] for sake of the twenty.
32 Ate n’agamba nti, “Kale Mukama aleme okukwatibwa obusungu, nnaayongera okwogera, naye luno lwokka. Singa kkumi lye linaasangibwamu.” N’addamu nti, “Ku lw’abo ekkumi sijja kukizikiriza.”
And he said may not please it burn to [the] Lord and let me speak only this time perhaps they will be found! there ten and he said not I will destroy [it] for sake of the ten.
33 Mukama bwe yamala okwogera ne Ibulayimu n’agenda, ne Ibulayimu n’addayo ewuwe.
And he went Yahweh just as he had finished to speak to Abraham and Abraham he returned to place his.
