Бытие 18
1 Явися же ему Бог у дуба Мамврийска, седящу ему пред дверми сени своея в полудни.
And God appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the entrance to the tent in the heat of the day.
2 Воззрев же очима своима, виде, и се, трие мужие стояху над ним: и видев притече в сретение им от дверей сени своея: и поклонися до земли
He lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw that three men stood opposite him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the entrance of the tent, and bowed himself to the earth,
3 и рече: Господи, аще убо обретох благодать пред Тобою, не мини раба Твоего:
and said, "My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please do not go on past your servant.
4 да принесется вода и омыются ноги ваши, и прохладитеся под древом:
Now let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
5 и принесу хлеб, да ясте, и посем пойдете в путь свой, егоже ради уклонистеся к рабу вашему. И рекоша: тако сотвори, якоже глаголал еси.
I will get a bit of food so you may refresh yourselves. After that you may go your way, now that you have come to your servant." They said, "Very well, do as you have said."
6 И потщася Авраам в сень к Сарре и рече ей: ускори и смеси три меры муки чисты, и сотвори потребники.
Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Quickly, get three measures of fine flour, knead it, and make bread."
7 И тече Авраам ко кравам, и взя телца млада и добра, и даде рабу, и ускори приготовити е.
Abraham ran to the herd, and took a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant, and he hurried to prepare it.
8 И взя масло, и млеко, и телца, егоже приготова: и предложи им, и ядоша: сам же стояше пред ними под древом.
He took curds, milk, and the calf that he had prepared, and set it before them. He stood by them under the tree, and they ate.
9 Рече же к нему: где Сарра жена твоя? Он же отвещав, рече: се, в сени.
They said to him, "Where is Sarah, your wife? He said, "See, in the tent."
10 Рече же: (се) возвращаяся прииду к тебе во время сие в часы, и родит сына Сарра жена твоя. Сарра же услыша пред дверми сени сущи за ним.
Then he said, "I will certainly return to you at the time of life. Look, Sarah your wife will have a son." Sarah heard from the entrance of the tent, which was behind him.
11 Авраам же и Сарра стара (беста, ) заматеревшая во днех: и престаша Сарре бывати женская.
Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. Sarah was past the age of childbearing.
12 Разсмеяся же Сарра в себе, глаголющи: не у было ми убо доселе, господин же мой стар.
Sarah laughed within herself, saying, "After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my husband being old also?"
13 И рече Господь ко Аврааму: что яко разсмеяся Сарра в себе, глаголющи: еда истинно рожду? Аз же состарехся.
And God said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, 'Will I really bear a child when I am old?'
14 Еда изнеможет у Бога слово? В сие время возвращуся к тебе в часы, и будет Сарре сын.
Is anything too difficult for God? At the set time I will return to you, at the time of life, and Sarah will have a son."
15 Отречеся же Сарра, глаголющи: не разсмеяхся: убояся бо. И рече ей: ни, но разсмеялася еси.
But Sarah denied it, saying, "I did not laugh," for she was afraid. He said, "No, but you did laugh."
16 Воставше же оттуду мужие, воззреша на лице Содома и Гоморра: Авраам же идяше с ними, провождая их.
The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.
17 Господь же рече: еда утаю Аз от Авраама раба Моего, яже Аз творю?
And God said, "Will I hide from Abraham what I am about to do,
18 Авраам же бывая будет в язык велик и мног, и благословятся о нем вси языцы земнии:
seeing that Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him?
19 вем бо, яко заповесть сыном своим и дому своему по себе, и сохранят пути Господни творити правду и суд, яко да наведет Господь на Авраама вся, елика глагола к нему.
For I have made myself known to him, so that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of God, to do righteousness and justice, so that God may bring to Abraham that which he has spoken to him."
20 Рече же Господь: вопль Содомский и Гоморрский умножися ко Мне, и греси их велицы зело:
And God said, "Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is so grievous,
21 сошед убо узрю, аще по воплю их грядущему ко Мне совершаются: аще же ни, да разумею.
I will go down now, and see whether they have done entirely according to the outcry which has come to me. And if not, I will know."
22 И обратившеся оттуду мужие, приидоша в Содом: Авраам же еще бяше стояй пред Господем.
The men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before God.
23 И приближився Авраам, рече: погубиши ли праведнаго с нечестивым, и будет праведник яко нечестивый?
Abraham drew near, and said, "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
24 Аще будут пятьдесят праведницы во граде, погубиши ли я? Не пощадиши ли всего места пятидесяти ради праведных, аще будут в нем?
What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you sweep it away and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it?
25 Никакоже Ты сотвориши по глаголу сему, еже убити праведника с нечестивым, и будет праведник яко нечестивый: никакоже, Судяй всей земли, не сотвориши ли суда?
Be it far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn't the Judge of all the earth do right?"
26 Рече же Господь: аще будут в Содомех пятьдесят праведницы во граде, оставлю весь град и все место их ради.
And God said, "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake."
27 И отвещав Авраам, рече: ныне начах глаголати ко Господу моему, аз же есмь земля и пепел:
Abraham answered, "Look, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes.
28 аще же умалятся пятьдесят праведницы в четыредесять пять, погубиши ли четыредесяти пятих ради весь град? И рече: не погублю, аще обрящу тамо четыредесять пять.
What if there will lack five of the fifty righteous? Will you destroy all the city for lack of five?" He said, "I will not destroy it, if I find forty-five there."
29 И приложи еще глаголати к Нему, и рече: аще же обрящутся тамо четыредесять? И рече: не погублю ради четыредесяти.
He spoke to him yet again, and said, "What if there are forty found there?" He said, "I will not do it for the forty's sake."
30 И рече: что, Господи, аще возглаголю? Аще же обрящется тамо тридесять? И рече: не погублю тридесятих ради.
He said, "Oh do not let the Lord be angry, and I will speak. What if there are thirty found there?" He said, "I will not do it, if I find thirty there."
31 И рече: понеже имам глаголати ко Господу: аще же обрящутся тамо двадесять? И рече: не погублю, аще обрящутся тамо двадесять.
He said, "Look, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord. What if there are twenty found there?" He said, "I will not destroy it for the twenty's sake."
32 И рече: что, Господи, аще возглаголю еще единою? Аще же обрящутся тамо десять? И рече: не погублю десятих ради.
He said, "Oh do not let the Lord be angry, and I will speak just once more. What if ten are found there?" He said, "I will not destroy it for the ten's sake."
33 Отиде же Господь, яко преста глаголя ко Аврааму: и Авраам возвратися на место свое.
When he finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned to his place.
