1 Mojzes 18
1 Gospod se mu je prikazal na Mamrejevih ravninah, on pa je sedel pri šotorskih vratih, v vročini dneva
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 in povzdignil svoje oči in pogledal in glej, pri njem so stali trije možje in ko jih je zagledal, je stekel od šotorskih vrat, da jih sreča in se priklonil proti tlom
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 ter rekel: »Moj Gospod, če sem torej našel naklonjenost v tvojih očeh, te prosim, ne odidi proč od svojega služabnika.
and said, "My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please do not go on past your servant.
4 Naj bo prineseno, prosim te, malo vode in umijte svoja stopala in se spočijte pod drevesom.
Now let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
5 Prinesel bom grižljaj kruha in potolažite svoja srca. Nató boste šli dalje, kajti zato ste prišli k svojemu služabniku.« In rekli so: »Stôri tako, kakor si rekel.«
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 Abraham se je podvizal v šotor k Sari ter ji rekel: »Brž pripravi tri mere fino mlete moke, zamesi jo in na ognjišču pripravi kolače.«
Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Quickly, get three measures of fine flour, knead it, and make bread."
7 Abraham je stekel k čredi, vzel nežno in dobro tele ter ga dal mladeniču in ta je pohitel, da ga pripravi.
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 Vzel je maslo, mleko in tele, ki ga je pripravil in to postavil prednje, in stal je poleg njih, pod drevesom, oni pa so jedli.
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 Rekli so mu: »Kje je tvoja žena Sara?« Rekel je: »Glejte, v šotoru.«
They said to him, "Where is Sarah, your wife? He said, "See, in the tent."
10 In on je rekel: »Zagotovo se bom vrnil k tebi glede na čas življenja in glej, tvoja žena Sara bo imela sina.« Sara pa je to slišala pri vratih šotora, ki je bil za njim.
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 Torej Abraham in Sara sta bila stara in zelo zvrhana v letih in s Saro je prenehalo biti po običaju žensk.
Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. Sarah was past the age of childbearing.
12 Zato se je Sara v sebi zasmejala, rekoč: »Bom še imela užitek, potem ko sem se postarala [in] je tudi moj gospod postal star?«
Sarah laughed within herself, saying, "After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my husband being old also?"
13 Gospod je rekel Abrahamu: »Zakaj se je Sara zasmejala, rekoč: ›Bom zares rodila otroka jaz, ki sem stara?‹
And God said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, 'Will I really bear a child when I am old?'
14 Je za Gospoda katerakoli stvar pretežka? Ob določenem času se bom vrnil k tebi, glede na čas življenja in Sara bo imela sina.«
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 Potem je Sara zanikala, rekoč: »Nisem se zasmejala, « kajti bila je prestrašena. On pa je rekel: »Ne, toda zasmejala si se.«
But Sarah denied it, saying, "I did not laugh," for she was afraid. He said, "No, but you did laugh."
16 Možje so vstali od tam in pogledali proti Sódomi in Abraham je odšel z njimi, da jih pospremi na pot.
The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.
17 Gospod je rekel: »Mar naj pred Abrahamom prikrijem to stvar, ki jo počnem,
And God said, "Will I hide from Abraham what I am about to do,
18 glede na to, da bo Abraham zagotovo postal velik in mogočen narod in bodo v njem blagoslovljeni vsi narodi zemlje?
seeing that Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him?
19 Kajti poznam ga, da bo ukazal svojim otrokom in svoji družini za njim in se bodo držali Gospodove poti, da izvajajo pravičnost in sodbo, da bo Gospod nad Abrahama lahko privedel to, kar je govoril o njem.«
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 Gospod je rekel: »Ker je vpitje Sódome in Gomóre veliko in ker je njihov greh zelo boleč,
And God said, "Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is so grievous,
21 bom torej šel dol in pogledal, ali so storili povsem glede na njihovo vpitje, ki je prišlo do mene; in če ne, bom vedel.«
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 Možje so svoje obraze obrnili od tam in odšli proti Sódomi, toda Abraham je kljub temu stopil pred Gospoda.
The men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before God.
23 Abraham se je približal in rekel: »Hočeš prav tako uničiti pravične z zlobnimi?
Abraham drew near, and said, "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
24 Morda je znotraj mesta petdeset pravičnih. Hočeš prav tako uničiti kraj in mu ne prizanesti zaradi petdesetih pravičnih, ki so v njem?
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 To bodi daleč od tebe, da storiš na ta način, da z zlobnimi pokončaš pravične in da bi bili pravični kakor zlobni, to bodi daleč od tebe. Mar ne bo Sodnik vse zemlje storil pravično?«
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 Gospod je rekel: »Če najdem v Sódomi, znotraj mesta, petdeset pravičnih, potem bom zaradi njih prizanesel celemu kraju.«
And God said, "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake."
27 Abraham pa je odgovoril in rekel: »Glej torej, nase, ki sem samo prah in pepel, sem vzel, da govorim Gospodu.
Abraham answered, "Look, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes.
28 Morda jih bo manjkalo pet do petdesetih pravičnih. Hočeš mesto uničiti zaradi pomanjkanja petih?« On pa je rekel: »Če jih najdem tam petinštirideset, ga ne bom uničil.«
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 Ponovno mu je spregovoril in rekel: »Morda jih bo tam najdenih štirideset.« On pa je rekel: » Tega ne bom storil zaradi štiridesetih.«
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 Rekel mu je: »Oh naj moj Gospod ne bo jezen, jaz pa bom govoril: ›Morda jih bo tam najdenih trideset.‹« On pa je rekel: » Tega ne bom storil, če jih tam najdem trideset.«
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 Rekel je: »Glej torej, vzel sem nase, da govorim Gospodu: ›Morda jih bo tam najdenih dvajset.‹« On pa je rekel: »Ne bom ga uničil zaradi dvajsetih.«
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 Rekel je: »Oh naj Gospod ne bo jezen, jaz pa bom govoril samo še tokrat: ›Morda jih bo tam najdenih deset.‹« On pa je rekel: »Ne bom ga uničil zaradi desetih.«
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 Gospod je odšel svojo pot takoj, ko je prenehal govoriti z Abrahamom. Abraham pa se je vrnil na svoj kraj.
When he finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned to his place.
