< Genesis 18 >
1 And he appeared to him Yahweh at [the] great trees of Mamre and he [was] sitting [the] opening of the tent when [the] heat of the day.
2 And he lifted up eyes his and he saw and there! three men [were] standing with him and he saw and he ran to meet them from [the] opening of the tent and he bowed down [the] ground towards.
3 And he said Lord my if please I have found favor in eyes your may not please you pass by from with servant your.
4 Let it be brought please a little of water and wash feet your and support yourself under the tree.
5 So let me bring a piece of bread and sustain heart your (after *LS) you will pass on for since you have passed by at servant your and they said thus you will do just as you have said.
6 And he hurried Abraham the tent towards to Sarah and he said bring quickly three seahs flour fine flour knead [it] and make bread cakes.
7 And to the herd he ran Abraham and he took a young one of [the] herd tender and good and he gave [it] to the servant and he hurried to prepare it.
8 And he brought curd and milk and [the] young one of the herd which he had prepared and he set [it] before them and he [was] standing with them under the tree and they ate.
9 And they said to him where? [is] Sarah wife your and he said there! in the tent.
10 And he said certainly I will return to you about the time living and there! a son [will belong] to Sarah wife your and Sarah [was] listening [the] opening of the tent and it [was] behind him.
11 And Abraham and Sarah [were] old [having] come in days it had ceased to be to Sarah a way like women.
12 And she laughed Sarah in inner being her saying after am worn out I has it be[longed]? to me pleasure and lord my he is old.
13 And he said Yahweh to Abraham why? this did she laugh Sarah saying ¿ also really will I bear a child and I I am old.
14 ¿ Is it [too] difficult for Yahweh anything to the appointed time I will return to you about the time living and [will belong] to Sarah a son.
15 And she denied Sarah - saying not I laughed for - she was afraid and he said - In-deed you laughed.
16 And they arose from there the men and they looked down on [the] face of Sodom and Abraham [was] walking with them to send off them.
17 And Yahweh he said ¿ [be] concealing [will] I from Abraham [that] which I [am] about to do.
18 And Abraham certainly he will become a nation great and mighty and they will be blessed by him all [the] nations of the earth.
19 For I have known him so that that he may command children his and household his after him and they will keep [the] way of Yahweh by doing righteousness and justice so that will bring Yahweh on Abraham [that] which he has spoken on him.
20 And he said Yahweh [the] outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah for it is great and sin their that it is heavy exceedingly.
21 I will go down please so I may see ¿ according to outcry its that has come to me have they done - completion and if not I will know.
22 And they turned away from there the men and they went Sodom towards (and Abraham *LS) still [was] he standing before (Yahweh. *LS)
23 And he drew near Abraham and he said ¿ also will you sweep away [the] righteous with [the] wicked.
24 Perhaps there [are] fifty righteous [people] in [the] midst of the city ¿ also will you sweep [it] away and not will you forgive? the place for [the] sake of fifty the righteous [people] who [are] in midst its.
25 Far be it to you from doing - according to the manner this to put to death [the] righteous with [the] wicked and it will be as the righteous [person] as the wicked [person] far be it to you ¿ [the] judge of all the earth not will he do justice.
26 And he said Yahweh if I will find in Sodom fifty righteous [people] in [the] midst of the city and I will forgive all the place for sake of them.
27 And he answered Abraham and he said here! please I have undertaken to speak to [the] Lord and I [am] dust and ash[es].
28 Perhaps they will lack! fifty the righteous [people] five ¿ will you destroy for five all the city and he said not I will destroy [it] if I will find there forty and five.
29 And he repeated again to speak to him and he said perhaps they will be found! there forty and he said not I will do [it] for sake of the forty.
30 And he said may not please it burn to [the] Lord and let me speak perhaps they will be found! there thirty and he said not I will do [it] if I will find there thirty.
31 And he said here! please I have undertaken to speak to [the] Lord perhaps they will be found! there twenty and he said not I will destroy [it] for sake of the twenty.
32 And he said may not please it burn to [the] Lord and let me speak only this time perhaps they will be found! there ten and he said not I will destroy [it] for sake of the ten.
33 And he went Yahweh just as he had finished to speak to Abraham and Abraham he returned to place his.
