Uumama 18
1 Utuma Abrahaam guyyaa saafaadhaan qilxuu Mamree bira balbala dunkaana isaa dura taaʼee jiruu Waaqayyo isatti mulʼate.
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 Abrahaamis ol ilaalee namoota isa bira dhadhaabatan sadii arge. Innis akkuma isaan argeen balbala dunkaana isaa duraa kaʼee isaan simachuudhaaf itti fiige; hamma lafa gaʼuttis gad jedhee harka fuudhe.
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 Innis akkana jedheen; “Gooftaa ko, yoo ani si duratti fudhatama argadhe, garbicha kee bira hin darbin.
And he said, Lord, if I haue now founde fauour in thy sight, goe not, I pray thee, from thy seruant.
4 Bishaan xinnoo isiniif haa fidan; miilla dhiqadhaatii muka kana jala boqodhaa.
Let a litle water, I pray you, be brought, and wash your feete, and rest your selues vnder the tree.
5 Erga isin gara garbicha keessanii dhuftanii, ani akka isin dadhabbii baatanii karaa keessan itti fuftaniif waan isin nyaattan isiniifin kenna.” Isaanis, “Akkuma jette sana godhi” jedhanii deebisan.
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 Kanaafuu Abrahaam dafee Saaraatti dunkaana seenee, “Dafii daakuu bullaaʼaa safartuu sadii sukkuumiitii maxinoo tolchi” jedheen.
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 Innis gara saawwaniitti fiigee jabbii gabbatee itti tole tokko filatee hojjetaa tokkotti kenne; hojjetaan sunis qopheessuuf ariifate.
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 Abrahaamis itittuu fi aannan, foon jabbii qopheeffame sanas geessee isaanii dhiʼeesse; yeroo isaan nyaachaa turanittis Abrahaam muka tokko jala isaan bira dhaabachaa ture.
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 Isaanis, “Niitiin kee Saaraan eessa jirti?” jedhanii isa gaafatan. Innis, “Kuunnoo dunkaana keessa jirti” jedheen.
Then they saide to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he answered, Beholde, she is in the tent.
10 Isaan keessaa tokko, “Ani dhugumaan bara dhufu keessa yeroo akkanaatti deebiʼee gara kee nan dhufa; niitiin kee Saaraanis ilma ni deessi” jedhe. Yeroo sana Saaraan balbala dunkaanaa kan isa duubaan jiru keessaan dhaggeeffachaa turte.
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 Abrahaamii fi Saaraan umuriin isaanii dheeratee dulloomanii turan; Saaraanis umurii itti mucaa daʼuu dandeessu dabartee turte.
(Nowe Abraham and Sarah were old and striken in age, and it ceased to be with Sarah after the maner of women)
12 Kanaafuu Saaraan, “Ani erga jaaree bututee, gooftaan koos erga dulloomee booddee, gammachuu kana qabaachuu nan dandaʼaa?” jettee of keessatti kolfite.
Therefore Sarah laughed within her selfe, saying, After I am waxed olde, and my lord also, shall I haue lust?
13 Kana irratti Waaqayyo Abrahaamiin akkana jedhe; “Saaraan maaliif, ‘Ani ergan dulloomee booddee amma dhugumaan mucaa nan daʼaa?’ jettee kolfite?
And ye Lord saide vnto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah thus laugh, saying, Shall I certainely beare a childe, which am olde?
14 Wanni Waaqayyoof hin dandaʼamne tokko iyyuu jiraa? Ani bara dhufu keessa yeroo murteeffametti deebiʼee gara kee nan dhufa; Saaraanis ilma ni deessi.”
(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 Saaraanis waan sodaatteef sobdee, “Ani hin kolfine” jette. Inni garuu, “Lakkii kolfiteertaa” jedhe.
But Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not: for she was afraide. And he said, It is not so: for thou laughedst.
16 Namoonni sun yommuu deemuuf kaʼanitti gara Sodoom gad ilaalan; Abrahaamis isaan geggeessuuf jedhee isaan wajjin baʼe.
Afterwarde the men did rise vp from thence and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 Ergasii Waaqayyo akkana jedhe; “Ani waanan gochuuf jiru Abrahaamin nan dhoksaa?
And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I doe,
18 Abrahaam dhugumaan saba guddaa fi jabaa taʼa; sabni lafa irraa hundinuu karaa isaatiin eebbifama.
Seeing that Abraham shalbe in deede a great and a mightie nation, and all the nations of the earth shalbe blessed in him?
19 Akka inni ijoollee isaatii fi sanyii isaa warra isa duubaan dhufan, akka isaan waan qajeelaa fi sirrii taʼe hojjechuudhaan karaa Waaqayyoo eegan ajajuuf ani isa filadheeraatii; kunis akka Waaqayyo waan Abrahaamiif kakate sana isaaf guutuuf.”
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 Waaqayyos akkana jedhe; “Iyyi Sodoomii fi Gomoraa irratti iyyame guddaa dha; cubbuun isaaniis waan akka malee hamaa taʼeef
Then the Lord saide, Because the crie of Sodom and Gomorah is great, and because their sinne is exceeding grieuous,
21 ani gad buʼee akka wanni isaan hojjetan akkuma iyya na qaqqabe sanaa hamaa taʼe nan ilaala. Yoo akkas taʼuu baate immoo natu beeka.”
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 Namoonni sunis garagalanii Sodoomitti qajeelan; Abrahaam garuu Waaqayyo dura dhaabatee hafe.
And the men turned thence and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stoode yet before the Lord.
23 Abrahaamis isatti dhiʼaatee akkana jedhe; “Ati nama qajeelaa nama jalʼaa wajjin ni balleessitaa?
Then Abraham drewe neere, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
24 Yoo namoonni qajeeloon shantamni magaalattii keessa jiraatan hoo? Ati dhugumaan ishee ni balleessitaa? Sababii qajeelota shantamman ishee keessa jiraatan sanaatiif jettee ishee hin oolchituu?
If there be fiftie righteous within the citie, wilt thou destroy and not spare the place for the fiftie righteous that are therein?
25 Qajeelaa fi hamaa wal qixxee ilaaluudhaan nama qajeelaa nama hamaa wajjin balleessuun sirraa haa fagaatu. Kun sirraa haa fagaatu! Abbaan murtii lafa hundaa waan qajeelaa hin hojjetuu?”
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 Waaqayyos, “Ani yoo magaalaa Sodoom keessatti qajeeltota shantama argadhe, isaaniif jedhee iddoo sana guutuu nan oolcha” jedhe.
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 Abrahaam ammas akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani utuman awwaaraa fi daaraa taʼee jiruu Gooftaatti dubbachuuf ija jabaadheera;
Then Abraham answered and said, Behold nowe, I haue begun to speake vnto my Lord, and I am but dust and ashes.
28 yoo baayʼinni qajeeltotaa shantama irraa shan hirʼate hoo? Ati sababii namoota shanan sanaatiif jettee magaalaa sana guutuu ni balleessitaa?” Innis, “Ani yoo nama afurtamii shan achitti argadhe ishee hin balleessu” jedhe.
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 Abrahaam amma illee, “Yoo qajeeltonni afurtamni qofti achitti argaman hoo?” jedhee isatti dubbate. Gooftaanis, “Ani warra afurtama sanaaf jedhee nan dhiisa” jedhe.
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 Abrahaamis, “Mee nan dubbadhaatii Gooftaan, hin aarin. Yoo namoonni soddomni qofti achitti argaman hoo?” jedhe. Gooftaanis, “Ani yoon nama soddoma achitti argadhe ishee hin balleessu” jedhee deebise.
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 Abrahaamis, “Kunoo amma erga ani Gooftaatti dubbachuuf ija jabaadhe, yoo namoonni digdamni qofti achitti argaman hoo?” jedhe. Gooftaanis, “Ani sababii namoota digdama sanaatiif jedhee ishee hin balleessu” jedhe.
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 Abrahaamis, “Yaa Gooftaa amma illee yeroo tokko waa sin gaafadhaatii maaloo hin aarin; yoo namni kudhan qofti achitti argame hoo?” jedhe. Gooftaan immoo, “Ani sababii namoota kurnan sanaatiif jedhee ishee hin balleessu” jedhe.
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 Waaqayyos erga Abrahaam wajjin dubbatee fixee booddee achii deeme. Abrahaam immoo iddoo ofii isaatti deebiʼe.
And the Lord went his way when he had left communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned vnto his place.
