Genesisy 18
1 Niheo ama’e marine o hatae jabajaba’ i Mamrèo t’Iehovà, ie niambesatse an-dalambein-kiboho’e eo an-kavotrohañ’ andro.
Againe the Lord appeared vnto him in the plaine of Mamre, as he sate in his tent doore about the heate of the day.
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 he lift vp his eyes, and looked: and lo, three men stoode by him, and when he sawe them, he ranne to meete them from the tent doore, and bowed himselfe to the grounde.
3 le nanao ty hoe: Naho nanjo fañisohañe am-pihaino’o Iraho henaneo ry Talè, ko rioñe’o ty mpitoro’o.
And he said, Lord, if I haue now founde fauour in thy sight, goe not, I pray thee, from thy seruant.
4 Angao hanesean-drano kedekede hanasà’areo fandia, ie mitofà ambane’ o hatae eio,
Let a litle water, I pray you, be brought, and wash your feete, and rest your selues vnder 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 morsell of bread, that you may comfort your hearts, afterward ye shall go your wayes: for therefore are ye come to your seruant. And they said, Do euen as thou hast said.
6 Aa le nihitrike mb’amy Sarà an-kiboho’e ao: Masikà hoe re, halankaño mona telo fañaranañe: kobao le anoñafo mofo.
Then Abraham made haste into the tent vnto Sarah, and saide, Make ready at once three measures of fine meale: kneade it, and make cakes vpon the hearth.
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.
And Abraham ranne to the beastes, and tooke a tender and good calfe, and gaue it to the seruant, who hasted to make it ready.
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.
And he tooke butter and milke, and the calfe, which he had prepared, and set before them, and stoode himselfe by them vnder the tree, and they did eate.
9 Hoe iereo tama’e. Aia ty vali’o Sarà? Le hoe re, Indroañe amo kibohotseo.
Then they saide to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he answered, Beholde, she is in the tent.
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.
And he saide, I will certainely come againe vnto thee according to ye time of life: and loe, Sarah thy wife shall haue a sonne. and Sarah heard in the tent doore, which was behinde him.
11 Nibey t’i Avrahame naho i Sarà henane zay, nigain-kantetse vaho tsy ni-ampela ka t’i Sarà.
(Nowe Abraham and Sarah were old and striken in age, and it ceased to be with Sarah after the maner of women)
12 Aa le nisomobohe’ i Sarà añ’arofo ao ty hoe: Izaho fa bey hao ro mbe hinembanembañe, naho fa bey ka i talèkoy?
Therefore Sarah laughed within her selfe, saying, After I am waxed olde, and my lord also, shall I haue lust?
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 ye Lord saide vnto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah thus laugh, saying, Shall I certainely beare a childe, which am olde?
14 Eo hao ty tsy lefe’ Iehovà? Hibalike mb’ama’o Iraho amy andro nifantañañey, an-tsa mañeva vaho hitendreke ana-dahy amy Sarà.
(Shall any thing be hard to the Lord? at the time appointed will I returne vnto thee, euen according to the time of life, and Sarah shall haue a sonne.)
15 Niliere’ i Sarà ami’ty hoe, Izaho tsy nihehe! ie nihembañe. Aiy, hoe re, toe nitohàke.
But Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not: for she was afraide. And he said, It is not so: for thou laughedst.
16 Nienga amy zao indaty rey, nitalake ty tarehe’ i Sedome; le nindreza’ i Avrahame hasese’e mb’eo.
Afterwarde the men did rise vp from thence and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 Aa hoe t’Iehovà, Haètako amy Avrahame hao ty hanoeko,
And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I doe,
18 fa toe ho foko ra’elahy naho maozatse t’i Avrahame, vaho ie ty hahasoa-tata ze kila foko’ ty tane toy?
Seeing that Abraham shalbe in deede a great and a mightie nation, and all the nations of the earth shalbe blessed in him?
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 knowe him that he will commande his sonnes and his houshold after him, that they keepe the way of the Lord, to doe righteousnesse and iudgement, that the Lord may bring vpon Abraham that he hath spoken vnto him.
20 Le hoe t’Iehovà, Mireoreo ty fitoreova’ i Sedome naho i Amorà, vaho loho mampioje o hakeo’eo!
Then the Lord saide, Because the crie of Sodom and Gomorah is great, and because their sinne is exceeding grieuous,
21 Tsy mete tsy hizotsoako handrendreke hera toe nanoeñe o hene toreo nahatakatse ahikoo; fa naho tsie le ho fantako.
I will goe downe nowe, and see whether they haue done altogether according to that crie which is come vnto me: and if not, that I may knowe.
22 Aa le nitolike mb’eo indaty rey nimb’e Sedome añe, fe mbe nijohañe añatrefa’ Iehovà eo t’i Avrahame.
And the men turned thence and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stoode yet before the Lord.
23 Niharinea’ i Avrahame le nanoa’e ty hoe, Haitoa’o mindre amo tsereheñeo hao ty vantañe?
Then Abraham drewe neere, and said, Wilt thou also destroy 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?
If there be fiftie righteous within the citie, wilt thou destroy and not spare the place for the fiftie righteous that are therein?
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?
Be it farre from thee from doing this thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be euen as the wicked, be it farre from thee. shall not the Iudge of all the worlde doe right?
26 Le hoe t’Iehovà, Naho hanjo ondaty mahity limampolo amy rovay, le hene hiheveako ty am’iereo i rovay.
And the Lord answered, If I shall finde in Sodom fiftie righteous within the citie, then will I spare all the place for their sakes.
27 Tinoi’ i Avrahame ty hoe: Ie zao, fa rinambeko ty hitaroñe entam-bolañe amy Talè, izaho deboke naho lavenoke.
Then Abraham answered and said, Behold nowe, I haue begun to speake vnto my Lord, and 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.
If there shall lacke fiue of fiftie righteous, wilt thou destroy all the citie for fiue? And he saide, If I finde there fiue and fourtie, 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.
And he yet spake to him againe, and saide, What if there shalbe found fourtie there? Then he answered, I will not doe it for fourties sake.
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.
Againe he said, Let not my Lord nowe be angry, that I speake, What if thirtie be founde there? Then he saide, I will not doe it, if I finde thirtie there.
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.
Moreouer he said, Behold, now I haue begonne to speake vnto my Lord, What if twentie be founde there? And he answered, I will not destroy it for twenties sake.
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.
Then he saide, Let not my Lord be nowe angrie, and I will speake but this once, What if tenne be found there? And he answered, I will not destroy it for tennes sake.
33 Ie niheneke i tsara’e amy Avrahamey, le nienga t’Iehovà; vaho nimpoly mb’an-toe’e mb’eo t’i Avrahame.
And the Lord went his way when he had left communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned vnto his place.
