Dud'uit Fefeu' a 18
1 Lao esa, Abraham leo deka no hau ineꞌ ra sia Mamre, LAMATUALAIN natudꞌu Ao na neu e sia naa. Dudꞌui na taꞌo ia: Faiꞌ naa, mafeoꞌ a seli, de Abraham endoꞌ haꞌi anin mia lalaat mataꞌ.
And Jehovah appeareth unto him among the oaks of Mamre, and he is sitting at the opening of the tent, about the heat of the day;
2 Ana botiꞌ mata na ma, nita atahori telu rambariiꞌ sia naa. Boe ma, ana nelaꞌ soru se, de sendeꞌ lululangga na,
and he lifteth up his eyes and looketh, and lo, three men standing by him, and he seeth, and runneth to meet them from the opening of the tent, and boweth himself towards the earth,
3 nae, “Ama nggare! Mete ma bisa na, amaꞌ se tuli au lalaat ngga dei. Onaꞌ mae minu akaꞌ a oe hieꞌ o, malole.
And he saith, 'My Lord, if, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, do not, I pray thee, pass on from thy servant;
4 Amaꞌ se hahae sia hau mafoꞌ ia, dei fo au denu ana kara haꞌi oe fo safe ei mara.
let, I pray thee, a little water be accepted, and wash your feet, and recline under the tree;
5 Ma au uu sadꞌia nanaat fee amaꞌ se, fo maꞌadere baliꞌ, fo feꞌe lao mikindoo na. Au umuhoꞌo bisa uhao amaꞌ se.” Ara rataa rae, “Malole. Makasi. Hai tuli.”
and I bring a piece of bread, and support ye your heart; afterwards pass on, for therefore have ye passed over unto your servant;' and they say, 'So mayest thou do as thou has spoken.'
6 Abraham nelaꞌ nisiꞌ lalaat, de nafadꞌe Sara nae, “Lailai! Haꞌi mala tarigu maloleꞌ sak esa, fo tao roti.”
And Abraham hasteth towards the tent, unto Sarah, and saith, 'Hasten three measures of flour-meal, knead, and make cakes;'
7 Basa ma nelaꞌ nisiꞌ sapi nara, de paꞌa nala sapi ana mbarunaꞌ esa, ma denu ate na tati, de tunu-nasu e.
and Abraham ran unto the herd, and taketh a son of the herd, tender and good, and giveth unto the young man, and he hasteth to prepare it;
8 Boe ma ana neu haꞌi susu, keju, ma sisi naa, de nendi fee fuiꞌ ra. Ara raa ma, ana nambariiꞌ sia hau huu na, de mete-seꞌu se.
and he taketh butter and milk, and the son of the herd which he hath prepared, and setteth before them; and he is standing by them under the tree, and they do eat.
9 Boe ma ara ratane rae, “Abraham! Sao ma Sara, sia bee? Ana nataa nae, “Sia lalaat rala.”
And they say unto him, 'Where [is] Sarah thy wife?' and he saith, 'Lo — in the tent;'
10 Boe ma esa mia teluꞌ se olaꞌ nae, “To mana nemaꞌ ia, Au baliꞌ. Leleꞌ naa, sao ma Sara bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa ena.” Ara olaꞌ taꞌo naa ma, Sara rena mia lelesu a seriꞌ.
and he saith, 'returning I return unto thee, about the time of life, and lo, to Sarah thy wife a son.'
11 Leleꞌ naa, Abraham no Sara lasiꞌ ena, ma Sara o nda afiꞌ hambu fula na sa ena.
And Sarah is hearkening at the opening of the tent, which is behind him;
12 Ana rena ara olaꞌ taꞌo naa ma, ana mali sia rala na, ma duꞌa nae, “Awe! Umulasi helaꞌ a rui ngga onaꞌ ia, ma sao ngga o mana masaloeꞌ ena. Naa taꞌo bee hai feꞌe hii dadꞌi masao feuꞌ, fo sangga anaꞌ fai?”
and Abraham and Sarah [are] aged, entering into days — the way of women hath ceased to be to Sarah;
13 Basa de LAMATUALAIN natane Abraham nae, “Taꞌo bee de Sara mali? Ana duꞌa nae saa fo Au olaꞌ ia, nda dadꞌi sa, huu eni lasiꞌ ena, do?
and Sarah laugheth in her heart, saying, 'After I have waxed old I have had pleasure! — my lord also [is] old!'
14 Au ia, LAMATUALAIN! Nda hambu saa fo Au nda tao alaꞌ sa! Misinedꞌa malolole, e! Mete ma Au baliꞌ too mana nemaꞌ ia, Sara bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa ena.”
And Jehovah saith unto Abraham, 'Why [is] this? Sarah hath laughed, saying, Is it true really — I bear — and I am aged? Is any thing too wonderful for Jehovah? at the appointed time I return unto thee, about the time of life, and Sarah hath a son.'
15 Sara rena taꞌo naa ma, namatau. De ana nafanii nae, “Au nda mali sa ma!” Te Lamatualain nataa nae, “Ho mali tebꞌe ma!”
And Sarah denieth, saying, 'I did not laugh;' for she hath been afraid; and He saith, 'Nay, but thou didst laugh.'
16 Basa ma, fuiꞌ ka teluꞌ ra rae risiꞌ kamboꞌ Sodꞌom, de Abraham no se losa dalaꞌ taladꞌa na. Mia naa, ara bisa rita Sodꞌom.
And the men rise from thence, and look on the face of Sodom, and Abraham is going with them to send them away;
17 Basa ma LAMATUALAIN duꞌa sia rala na nae, “Au ae tao ulutu kambo Sodꞌom, te malole lenaꞌ, Au dui Abraham,
and Jehovah said, 'Am I concealing from Abraham that which I am doing,
18 huu tititi-nonosi nara boe ramaheta, ma dadꞌi leo manaseliꞌ. Ma ana o dadꞌi papala-babꞌanggiꞌ soaꞌ neu basa leo sia raefafoꞌ a.
and Abraham certainly becometh a nation great and mighty, and blessed in him have been all nations of the earth?
19 Au here ala e, fo nanori ana nara ro atahori feaꞌ ra, fo tungga rakandoo LAMATUALAIN dala Na ma rasodꞌa no ndoo-tetuꞌ. Mete ma ara tao taꞌo naa, Au tao utetu hehelu-fufuli Ngga o Abraham.”
for I have known him, that he commandeth his children, and his house after him (and they have kept the way of Jehovah), to do righteousness and judgment, that Jehovah may bring on Abraham that which He hath spoken concerning him.'
20 Boe ma LAMATUALAIN nafadꞌe Abraham nae, “Taꞌo ia! Au rena atahori ra fale rala nara, huu atahori kambo Sodꞌom no Gomora deꞌulaka nara, seli tebꞌe ena.
And Jehovah saith, 'The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah — because great; and their sin — because exceeding grievous:
21 Naa de, Au onda, fo ita no mata Ngga, basa saa fo Au renaꞌ a, tebꞌe, do, hokoꞌ. Mete ma hokoꞌ, Au musi bubꞌuluꞌ.”
I go down now, and see whether according to its cry which is coming unto Me they have done completely — and if not — I know;'
22 LAMATUALAIN feꞌe olaꞌ no Abraham ma, fuiꞌ ka ruaꞌ ra laoꞌ rakandoo risiꞌ Sodꞌom.
and the men turn from thence, and go towards Sodom; and Abraham is yet standing before Jehovah.
23 Abraham neu deka-deka no Lamatualain, de kokoe nae, “Taꞌo bee? Amaꞌ nae tao nalutu atahori maloleꞌ ro atahori deꞌulakaꞌ lao esaꞌ, do?
And Abraham draweth nigh and saith, 'Dost Thou also consume righteous with wicked?
24 Mete ma hambu atahori maloleꞌ lima nulu sia kamboꞌ naa, Amaꞌ feꞌe mae tao mulutu basa atahori ra, do? Do, Amaꞌ nda tao mulutu kamboꞌ naa sa, huu sira?
peradventure there are fifty righteous in the midst of the city; dost Thou also consume, and not bear with the place for the sake of the fifty — the righteous who [are] in its midst?
25 Amaꞌ afiꞌ tao taꞌo naa! Afiꞌ losa atahori maloleꞌ ra o mate boe, huu Amaꞌ nae nalutu atahori deꞌulakaꞌ ra. Amaꞌ dadꞌi mana maꞌetuꞌ sia lalai no raefafoꞌ ia. Amaꞌ o bubꞌuluꞌ naa nda matetuꞌ sa.”
Far be it from Thee to do according to this thing, to put to death the righteous with the wicked; that it hath been — as the righteous so the wicked — far be it from Thee; doth the Judge of all the earth not do justice?'
26 LAMATUALAIN nataa nae, “Mete ma Au hambu atahori maloleꞌ lima nulu sia Sodꞌom, Au nda hukun kamboꞌ naa sa, huu sira.”
And Jehovah saith, 'If I find in Sodom fifty righteous in the midst of the city, then have I borne with all the place for their sake.'
27 Boe ma Abraham olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Amaꞌ, oꞌe ambon, au ae olaꞌ mbei fai. Au ia, atahori nggoaꞌ, nda uhine saa-saa saꞌ boe.
And Abraham answereth and saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have willed to speak unto the Lord, and I — dust and ashes;
28 Onaꞌ nda hambu atahori maloleꞌ losa lima nulu sa, te akaꞌ a haa nulu lima, naa taꞌo bee? Mete ma kuran atahori lima, naa Amaꞌ feꞌe mae tao mulutu kamboꞌ naa, do?” Lamatualain nataa nae, “Mete ma Au hambu atahori maloleꞌ haa nulu lima sia naa, Au nda tao ulutu e sa.”
peradventure there are lacking five of the fifty righteous — dost Thou destroy for five the whole of the city?' and He saith, 'I destroy [it] not, if I find there forty and five.'
29 Abraham feꞌe kokoe seluꞌ nae, “Mete ma hambu akaꞌ a atahori haa nulu, naa taꞌo bee, Amaꞌ?” Nataa nae, “Mete ma hambu atahori haa nulu, Au nda hukun se sa.”
And he addeth again to speak unto Him and saith, 'Peradventure there are found there forty?' and He saith, 'I do [it] not, because of the forty.'
30 Abraham kokoe nakandooꞌ a nae, “Amaꞌ afiꞌ mumunasa, te mete ma akaꞌ a atahori maloleꞌ telu nulu a, naa taꞌo bee?” Nataa nae, “Mete ma hambu telu nulu, Au nda hukun se sa.”
And he saith, 'Let it not be, I Pray thee, displeasing to the Lord, and I speak: peradventure there are found there thirty?' and He saith, 'I do [it] not, if I find there thirty.'
31 Basa ma Abraham naloe seluꞌ nae, “Amaꞌ afiꞌ mumunasa, te au utane seluꞌ mbei fai. Mete ma akaꞌ a atahori rua nulu, naa taꞌo bee?” Nataa nae, “Mete ma hambu atahori rua nulu, Au nda tao ulutu kamboꞌ naa sa.”
And he saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have willed to speak unto the Lord: peradventure there are found there twenty?' and He saith, 'I do not destroy [it], because of the twenty.'
32 Boe ma Abraham tatana oꞌola na nae, “Amaꞌ! Au olaꞌ lao esa fai, te afiꞌ mumunasa au, o! Mete ma akaꞌ a atahori maloleꞌ sanahulu a, naa taꞌo bee?” Nataa nae, “Mete ma hambu atahori maloleꞌ sanahulu sia naa, Au nda tao ulutu kamboꞌ naa sa.”
And he saith, 'Let it not be, I pray Thee, displeasing to the Lord, and I speak only this time: peradventure there are found there ten?' and He saith, 'I do not destroy [it], because of the ten.'
33 LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ basa ma, Ana lao nakandoo. Boe ma, Abraham baliꞌ.
And Jehovah goeth on, when He hath finished speaking unto Abraham, and Abraham hath turned back to his place.
