1 Mojzes 18
1 Gospod se mu je prikazal na Mamrejevih ravninah, on pa je sedel pri šotorskih vratih, v vročini dneva
Yahweh appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door 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 near him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, 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 don’t go away from 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 fetched, 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 piece of bread so you can refresh your heart. 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 prepare three seahs of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.”
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 fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress 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 butter, milk, and the calf which he had dressed, 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 asked him, “Where is Sarah, your wife?” He said, “There, 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.
He said, “I will certainly return to you at about this time next year; and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son.” Sarah heard in the tent door, 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 had passed 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 lord being old also?”
13 Gospod je rekel Abrahamu: »Zakaj se je Sara zasmejala, rekoč: ›Bom zares rodila otroka jaz, ki sem stara?‹
Yahweh 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 hard for Yahweh? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes around, 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.«
Then Sarah denied it, saying, “I didn’t 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,
Yahweh said, “Will I hide from Abraham what I do,
18 glede na to, da bo Abraham zagotovo postal velik in mogočen narod in bodo v njem blagoslovljeni vsi narodi zemlje?
since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in 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 known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Yahweh may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him.”
20 Gospod je rekel: »Ker je vpitje Sódome in Gomóre veliko in ker je njihov greh zelo boleč,
Yahweh said, “Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very 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 their deeds are as bad as the reports which have come to me. 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 stood yet before Yahweh.
23 Abraham se je približal in rekel: »Hočeš prav tako uničiti pravične z zlobnimi?
Abraham came near, and said, “Will you consume 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 consume 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?«
May it be 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.«
Yahweh said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole 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, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, although I am 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 don’t 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, “See now, 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 don’t 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.
Yahweh went his way as soon as he had finished communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
