Бытие 18
1 Явися же ему Бог у дуба Мамврийска, седящу ему пред дверми сени своея в полудни.
And the LORD appeared to him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door 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
And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
3 и рече: Господи, аще убо обретох благодать пред Тобою, не мини раба Твоего:
And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
4 да принесется вода и омыются ноги ваши, и прохладитеся под древом:
Let a little water, I pray you, 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.
And I will bring a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that you shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
6 И потщася Авраам в сень к Сарре и рече ей: ускори и смеси три меры муки чисты, и сотвори потребники.
And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.
7 И тече Авраам ко кравам, и взя телца млада и добра, и даде рабу, и ускори приготовити е.
And Abraham ran to the herd, and brought a calf tender and good, and gave it to a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
8 И взя масло, и млеко, и телца, егоже приготова: и предложи им, и ядоша: сам же стояше пред ними под древом.
And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and 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.
And they said to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, 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.
And he said, I will certainly return to thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, 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 and well advanced in years; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
12 Разсмеяся же Сарра в себе, глаголющи: не у было ми убо доселе, господин же мой стар.
Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am become old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
13 И рече Господь ко Аврааму: что яко разсмеяся Сарра в себе, глаголющи: еда истинно рожду? Аз же состарехся.
And the LORD said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I certainly bear a child, who am old?
14 Еда изнеможет у Бога слово? В сие время возвращуся к тебе в часы, и будет Сарре сын.
Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return to thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
15 Отречеся же Сарра, глаголющи: не разсмеяхся: убояся бо. И рече ей: ни, но разсмеялася еси.
Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
16 Воставше же оттуду мужие, воззреша на лице Содома и Гоморра: Авраам же идяше с ними, провождая их.
And the men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 Господь же рече: еда утаю Аз от Авраама раба Моего, яже Аз творю?
And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
18 Авраам же бывая будет в язык велик и мног, и благословятся о нем вси языцы земнии:
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in 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 know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
20 Рече же Господь: вопль Содомский и Гоморрский умножися ко Мне, и греси их велицы зело:
And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very 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 altogether according to the cry of it, which is come to me; and if not, I will know.
22 И обратившеся оттуду мужие, приидоша в Содом: Авраам же еще бяше стояй пред Господем.
And the men turned their faces from there, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
23 И приближився Авраам, рече: погубиши ли праведнаго с нечестивым, и будет праведник яко нечестивый?
And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy 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?
Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that 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?
That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not 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 the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
27 И отвещав Авраам, рече: ныне начах глаголати ко Господу моему, аз же есмь земля и пепел:
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I who am dust and ashes, have taken upon me to speak to the Lord.
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.
Suppose there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
29 И приложи еще глаголати к Нему, и рече: аще же обрящутся тамо четыредесять? И рече: не погублю ради четыредесяти.
And he spoke to him yet again, and said, Suppose there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty’s sake.
30 И рече: что, Господи, аще возглаголю? Аще же обрящется тамо тридесять? И рече: не погублю тридесятих ради.
And he said, O let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Suppose there shall thirty be found there. And 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.
And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to the Lord: Suppose there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake.
32 И рече: что, Господи, аще возглаголю еще единою? Аще же обрящутся тамо десять? И рече: не погублю десятих ради.
And he said, O let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Suppose ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.
33 Отиде же Господь, яко преста глаголя ко Аврааму: и Авраам возвратися на место свое.
And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had finished speaking with Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place.
