Genesisy 18
1 Niheo ama’e marine o hatae jabajaba’ i Mamrèo t’Iehovà, ie niambesatse an-dalambein-kiboho’e eo an-kavotrohañ’ andro.
Then the LORD appeared to Abraham by the Oaks of Mamre in the heat of the day, while he was sitting at the entrance of his tent.
2 Nampiandra fihaino re nahaoniñe ondaty telo nijohañe ey. Ie niisa’e, le nihitrike boak’ an-dala’ i kiboho’ey nifanalaka am’iereo vaho niondrek’an-tane,
And Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he ran from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.
3 le nanao ty hoe: Naho nanjo fañisohañe am-pihaino’o Iraho henaneo ry Talè, ko rioñe’o ty mpitoro’o.
“My lord,” said Abraham, “if I have found favor in your sight, please do not pass your servant by.
4 Angao hanesean-drano kedekede hanasà’areo fandia, ie mitofà ambane’ o hatae eio,
Let a little water be brought, that you may wash your feet and rest yourselves under the tree.
5 le hanjotsoako mahakama minjilite’e hampanintsiñe ty arofo’o, heneke izay t’ie hañavelo, fa izay ty niaria’ areo mb’ami’ty mpitoro’o toy. Le hoe iereo, Ano i sinaontsi’oy.
And I will bring a bit of bread so that you may refresh yourselves. This is why you have passed your servant’s way. After that, you may continue on your way.” “Yes,” they replied, “you may do as you have said.”
6 Aa le nihitrike mb’amy Sarà an-kiboho’e ao: Masikà hoe re, halankaño mona telo fañaranañe: kobao le anoñafo mofo.
So Abraham hurried into the tent and said to Sarah, “Quick! Prepare three seahs of fine flour, knead it, and bake some bread.”
7 Nilay mb’an-troke raike mb’eo amy zao t’i Avrahame nijoboñe dronga maleme hena vaho natolo’e ami’ty ajalahy hañalankaña’e masika.
Meanwhile, Abraham ran to the herd, selected a tender and choice calf, and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it.
8 Nendese’e amy zao ty venten-kabobo naho ronono naho i dronga nihalankañeñey, vaho nazotso’e am’ iereo, le nijohañe marine’ iereo añ’ alo’ i hatae’ey t’ie nikama.
Then Abraham brought curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and he set them before the men and stood by them under the tree as they ate.
9 Hoe iereo tama’e. Aia ty vali’o Sarà? Le hoe re, Indroañe amo kibohotseo.
“Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked. “There, in the tent,” he replied.
10 Le hoe re, Toe hibalihako, homb’ etoan-draho ami’ty sa-mañeva vaho Inao! hisamake ana-dahy t’i Sarà tañanjomba’o. Nahajanjiñe izay t’i Sarà an-dala’ i kibohotsey, toe amboho’e ao.
Then the LORD said, “I will surely return to you at this time next year, and your wife Sarah will have a son!” Now Sarah was behind him, listening at the entrance to the tent.
11 Nibey t’i Avrahame naho i Sarà henane zay, nigain-kantetse vaho tsy ni-ampela ka t’i Sarà.
And Abraham and Sarah were already old and well along in years; Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.
12 Aa le nisomobohe’ i Sarà añ’arofo ao ty hoe: Izaho fa bey hao ro mbe hinembanembañe, naho fa bey ka i talèkoy?
So she laughed to herself, saying, “After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?”
13 Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Avrahame, Inoñe ty nampitohake i Sarà t’ie nanao ty hoe, Toe hahatoly anake hao, izaho fa bey?
And the LORD asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Can I really bear a child when I am old?’
14 Eo hao ty tsy lefe’ Iehovà? Hibalike mb’ama’o Iraho amy andro nifantañañey, an-tsa mañeva vaho hitendreke ana-dahy amy Sarà.
Is anything too difficult for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you—in about a year—and Sarah will have a son.”
15 Niliere’ i Sarà ami’ty hoe, Izaho tsy nihehe! ie nihembañe. Aiy, hoe re, toe nitohàke.
But Sarah was afraid, so she denied it and said, “I did not laugh.” “No,” replied the LORD, “but you did laugh.”
16 Nienga amy zao indaty rey, nitalake ty tarehe’ i Sedome; le nindreza’ i Avrahame hasese’e mb’eo.
When the men got up to leave, they looked out over Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them off.
17 Aa hoe t’Iehovà, Haètako amy Avrahame hao ty hanoeko,
And the LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?
18 fa toe ho foko ra’elahy naho maozatse t’i Avrahame, vaho ie ty hahasoa-tata ze kila foko’ ty tane toy?
Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and through him all the nations of the earth will be blessed.
19 Apotako te hitoroa’e o ana’eo naho i hasavereña’e hanonjohy azey ty hifahatse amo sata’ Iehovào hañorike ty hiti’e naho ty hatò; vaho ho henefe’ Iehovà i nitsarae’e amy Avrahamey.
For I have chosen him, so that he will command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, in order that the LORD may bring upon Abraham what He has promised.”
20 Le hoe t’Iehovà, Mireoreo ty fitoreova’ i Sedome naho i Amorà, vaho loho mampioje o hakeo’eo!
Then the LORD said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great. Because their sin is so grievous,
21 Tsy mete tsy hizotsoako handrendreke hera toe nanoeñe o hene toreo nahatakatse ahikoo; fa naho tsie le ho fantako.
I will go down to see if their actions fully justify the outcry that has reached Me. If not, I will find out.”
22 Aa le nitolike mb’eo indaty rey nimb’e Sedome añe, fe mbe nijohañe añatrefa’ Iehovà eo t’i Avrahame.
And the two men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD.
23 Niharinea’ i Avrahame le nanoa’e ty hoe, Haitoa’o mindre amo tsereheñeo hao ty vantañe?
Abraham stepped forward and said, “Will You really sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
24 He te limam-polo mahity ro amy rovay ao, haitoa’o hao vaho tsy hapo’o i toetsey ty amy vantañe limampolo ama’e rey?
What if there are fifty righteous ones in the city? Will You really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous ones who are there?
25 Lavits’ azo ty hanao izay, ty hampitraofe’o fanjamanañe amo lo tserekeo o vañoñeo, hampamirañe amo ratio ty toli’ o mahitio! Tsy marine azo izay! Tsy hanao ty hatò hao ty Mpizaka’ ty tane bey toy?
Far be it from You to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Will not the Judge of all the earth do what is right?”
26 Le hoe t’Iehovà, Naho hanjo ondaty mahity limampolo amy rovay, le hene hiheveako ty am’iereo i rovay.
So the LORD replied, “If I find fifty righteous ones within the city of Sodom, on their account I will spare the whole place.”
27 Tinoi’ i Avrahame ty hoe: Ie zao, fa rinambeko ty hitaroñe entam-bolañe amy Talè, izaho deboke naho lavenoke.
Then Abraham answered, “Now that I have ventured to speak to the Lord—though I am but dust and ashes—
28 Hera ho po-lime i limampolo vantañe rey, ho fonga rotsahe’o hao i rovay ty amy limey? Le hoe Re, Naho manjo efapolo lim’ amby ao le tsy ho rotsaheko.
suppose the fifty righteous ones lack five. Will You destroy the whole city for the lack of five?” He replied, “If I find forty-five there, I will not destroy it.”
29 Nindrae’e ty hoe, Ke te ho efapolo ty zoeñe ao? Tinoi’e ty hoe: Ty amy efapoloy tsy hanoeko.
Once again Abraham spoke to the LORD, “Suppose forty are found there?” He answered, “On account of the forty, I will not do it.”
30 Le hoe re, Ee te tsy ho viñera’ i Talè t’ie mivolañe. Hera telo-polo ty ho zoeñe ao? Tinoi’e ty hoe, Tsy hanoeko ka te tendrek’ ahy ty telopolo.
Then Abraham said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak further. Suppose thirty are found there?” He replied, “If I find thirty there, I will not do it.”
31 Hoe re, Kanao rinambeko ty hinday entañe amy Talè; atao t’ie roapolo ty ho oniñe ao? Tinoi’e ty hoe, Ty amy roapolo rezay, tsy harotsako.
And Abraham said, “Now that I have ventured to speak to the Lord, suppose twenty are found there?” He answered, “On account of the twenty, I will not destroy it.”
32 Le hoe re. Ee any te tsy ho viñetse amako t’i Talè ami’ty entako honka’e toy; atao t’ie folo ty ho zoeñe ao. Tinoi’e ty hoe, Tsy ho rotsaheko ty amy folo rey.
Finally, Abraham said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak once more. Suppose ten are found there?” And He answered, “On account of the ten, I will not destroy it.”
33 Ie niheneke i tsara’e amy Avrahamey, le nienga t’Iehovà; vaho nimpoly mb’an-toe’e mb’eo t’i Avrahame.
When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, He departed, and Abraham returned home.
