Genesisy 18
1 Niheo ama’e marine o hatae jabajaba’ i Mamrèo t’Iehovà, ie niambesatse an-dalambein-kiboho’e eo an-kavotrohañ’ andro.
Yahweh appeared to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent doorway in the heat 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,
He looked up and, behold, he saw three men standing across from him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door 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.
He said, “Lord, if I have found favor in your eyes, do not pass by and leave your servant.
4 Angao hanesean-drano kedekede hanasà’areo fandia, ie mitofà ambane’ o hatae eio,
Let a little water be brought, 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.
Let me bring a little food, so that you may refresh yourselves. Afterwards you can go your way, since you have come to your servant.” They replied, “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.
Then Abraham quickly went into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Hurry, get three seahs of fine flour, knead it, and make 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.
Then Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf that was tender and good, and gave it to the servant, and he 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.
He took curds and milk, and the calf that had been prepared, and placed the food before them, and he stood by them under the tree while they ate.
9 Hoe iereo tama’e. Aia ty vali’o Sarà? Le hoe re, Indroañe amo kibohotseo.
They said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” He replied, “There, 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.
He said, “I will certainly return to you in the springtime, and see, Sarah your wife will have a son.” Sarah was listening in the tent doorway, which was behind him.
11 Nibey t’i Avrahame naho i Sarà henane zay, nigain-kantetse vaho tsy ni-ampela ka t’i Sarà.
Now Abraham and Sarah were old, very advanced in age, and Sarah had passed the age when women could bear children.
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 Sarah laughed to herself, saying to herself, “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?
Yahweh said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, 'Will 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 hard for Yahweh? At the time appointed by me, in the spring, I will return to you. About this time next year Sarah will have a son.”
15 Niliere’ i Sarà ami’ty hoe, Izaho tsy nihehe! ie nihembañe. Aiy, hoe re, toe nitohàke.
Then Sarah denied it and said, “I did not laugh,” for she was afraid. He replied, “No, you did laugh.”
16 Nienga amy zao indaty rey, nitalake ty tarehe’ i Sedome; le nindreza’ i Avrahame hasese’e mb’eo.
Then the men arose to leave and looked down toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.
17 Aa hoe t’Iehovà, Haètako amy Avrahame hao ty hanoeko,
But Yahweh said, “Should 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?
since Abraham will indeed become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be 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 have chosen him so that he may instruct his children and his household after him to keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice, so that Yahweh may bring upon Abraham what he has said to him.”
20 Le hoe t’Iehovà, Mireoreo ty fitoreova’ i Sedome naho i Amorà, vaho loho mampioje o hakeo’eo!
Then Yahweh said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great, and because their sin is so serious,
21 Tsy mete tsy hizotsoako handrendreke hera toe nanoeñe o hene toreo nahatakatse ahikoo; fa naho tsie le ho fantako.
I will now go down there and see the outcry against her that has come to me, whether they have really done it. If not, I will know.”
22 Aa le nitolike mb’eo indaty rey nimb’e Sedome añe, fe mbe nijohañe añatrefa’ Iehovà eo t’i Avrahame.
So the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before Yahweh.
23 Niharinea’ i Avrahame le nanoa’e ty hoe, Haitoa’o mindre amo tsereheñeo hao ty vantañe?
Then Abraham approached and said, “Will you 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?
Perhaps there are fifty righteous within the city. Will you sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous that 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, killing the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be treated the same as the wicked. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?”
26 Le hoe t’Iehovà, Naho hanjo ondaty mahity limampolo amy rovay, le hene hiheveako ty am’iereo i rovay.
Yahweh said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place for their sake.”
27 Tinoi’ i Avrahame ty hoe: Ie zao, fa rinambeko ty hitaroñe entam-bolañe amy Talè, izaho deboke naho lavenoke.
Abraham answered and said, “Look, I have undertaken to speak to my Lord, even though I am only 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.
What if there are five less than fifty righteous? Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five?” Then he said, “I will not destroy it, if I find there forty-five.”
29 Nindrae’e ty hoe, Ke te ho efapolo ty zoeñe ao? Tinoi’e ty hoe: Ty amy efapoloy tsy hanoeko.
He spoke to him yet again, and said, “What if there are forty found there?” He replied, “I will not do it for the forty's 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.
He said, “Please do not be angry, Lord, so I may speak. Perhaps thirty will be found there.” He replied, “I will not do it, if I find thirty 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.
He said, “Look, I have undertaken to speak to my Lord! Perhaps twenty will be found there.” He replied, “I will not destroy it for the twenty's 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.
He said, “Please do not be angry, Lord, and I will speak this one last time. Perhaps ten will be found there.” Then he said, “I will not destroy it for the ten's sake.”
33 Ie niheneke i tsara’e amy Avrahamey, le nienga t’Iehovà; vaho nimpoly mb’an-toe’e mb’eo t’i Avrahame.
Yahweh went on his way as soon as he had finished talking with Abraham, and Abraham returned home.
