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 oak of Mambre, as he sat by the door of his tent at noon.
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 beheld, and lo! three men stood before him; and having seen them he ran to meet them from the door of his tent, and did obeisance to the ground.
3 и рече: Господи, аще убо обретох благодать пред Тобою, не мини раба Твоего:
And he said, Lord, if indeed I have found grace in thy sight, pass not by thy servant.
4 да принесется вода и омыются ноги ваши, и прохладитеся под древом:
Let water now be brought, and let them wash your feet, and do ye refresh [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 bread, and ye shall eat, and after this ye shall depart on your journey, on account of which [refreshment] ye have turned aside to your servant. And he 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 Abraam hasted to the tent to Sarrha, and said to her, Hasten, and knead three measures of fine flour, and make cakes.
7 И тече Авраам ко кравам, и взя телца млада и добра, и даде рабу, и ускори приготовити е.
And Abraam ran to the kine, and took a young calf, tender and good, and gave it to his servant, 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 he set them before them, and they did eat, and he stood by them under the tree.
9 Рече же к нему: где Сарра жена твоя? Он же отвещав, рече: се, в сени.
And he said to him, Where is Sarrha thy wife? And he answered and 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 return and come to thee according to this period seasonably, and Sarrha thy wife shall have a son; and Sarrha heard at the door of the tent, being behind him.
11 Авраам же и Сарра стара (беста, ) заматеревшая во днех: и престаша Сарре бывати женская.
And Abraam and Sarrha were old, advanced in days, and the custom of women ceased with Sarrha.
12 Разсмеяся же Сарра в себе, глаголющи: не у было ми убо доселе, господин же мой стар.
And Sarrha laughed in herself, saying, The thing has not as yet happened to me, even until now, and my lord is old.
13 И рече Господь ко Аврааму: что яко разсмеяся Сарра в себе, глаголющи: еда истинно рожду? Аз же состарехся.
And the Lord said to Abraam, Why is it that Sarrha has laughed in herself, saying, Shall I then indeed bear? but I am grown old.
14 Еда изнеможет у Бога слово? В сие время возвращуся к тебе в часы, и будет Сарре сын.
Shall anything be impossible with the Lord? At this time I will return to thee seasonably, and Sarrha shall have a son.
15 Отречеся же Сарра, глаголющи: не разсмеяхся: убояся бо. И рече ей: ни, но разсмеялася еси.
But Sarrha denied, saying, I did not laugh, for she was afraid. And he said to her, 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 having risen up from thence looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha. And Abraam went with them, attending them on their journey.
17 Господь же рече: еда утаю Аз от Авраама раба Моего, яже Аз творю?
And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraam my servant what things I intend to do?
18 Авраам же бывая будет в язык велик и мног, и благословятся о нем вси языцы земнии:
But Abraam shall become a great and populous nation, and in him shall all the nations of the earth be blest.
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 that he will order his sons, and his house after him, and they will keep the ways of the Lord, to do justice and judgment, that the Lord may bring upon Abraam all things whatsoever he has spoken to him.
20 Рече же Господь: вопль Содомский и Гоморрский умножися ко Мне, и греси их велицы зело:
And the Lord said, The cry of Sodom and Gomorrha has been increased towards me, and their sins are very great.
21 сошед убо узрю, аще по воплю их грядущему ко Мне совершаются: аще же ни, да разумею.
I will therefore go down and see, if they completely correspond with the cry which comes to me, and if not, that I may know.
22 И обратившеся оттуду мужие, приидоша в Содом: Авраам же еще бяше стояй пред Господем.
And the men having departed thence, came to Sodom; and Abraam was still standing before the Lord.
23 И приближився Авраам, рече: погубиши ли праведнаго с нечестивым, и будет праведник яко нечестивый?
And Abraam drew nigh and said, Wouldest thou destroy the righteous with the wicked, and shall the righteous be as the wicked?
24 Аще будут пятьдесят праведницы во граде, погубиши ли я? Не пощадиши ли всего места пятидесяти ради праведных, аще будут в нем?
Should there be fifty righteous in the city, wilt thou destroy them? wilt thou not spare the whole place for the sake of the fifty righteous, if they be 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?
By no means shalt thou do as this thing [is] so as to destroy the righteous with the wicked, so the righteous shall be as the wicked: by no means. Thou that judgest the whole earth, shalt thou not 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 there should be in Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole city, and the whole place for their sakes.
27 И отвещав Авраам, рече: ныне начах глаголати ко Господу моему, аз же есмь земля и пепел:
And Abraam answered and said, Now I have begun to speak to my Lord, and I am earth 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.
But if the fifty righteous should be diminished to forty-five, wilt thou destroy the whole city because of the five [wanting]? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I should find there forty-five.
29 И приложи еще глаголати к Нему, и рече: аще же обрящутся тамо четыредесять? И рече: не погублю ради четыредесяти.
And he continued to speak to him still, and said, But if there should be found there forty? And he said, I will not destroy it for the forty's sake.
30 И рече: что, Господи, аще возглаголю? Аще же обрящется тамо тридесять? И рече: не погублю тридесятих ради.
And he said, Will there be anything [against me], Lord, if I shall speak? but if there be found there thirty? And he said, I will not destroy it for the thirty's sake.
31 И рече: понеже имам глаголати ко Господу: аще же обрящутся тамо двадесять? И рече: не погублю, аще обрящутся тамо двадесять.
And he said, Since I am able to speak to the Lord, what if there should be found there twenty? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I should find there twenty.
32 И рече: что, Господи, аще возглаголю еще единою? Аще же обрящутся тамо десять? И рече: не погублю десятих ради.
And he said, Will there be anything [against me], Lord, if I speak yet once? but if there should be found there ten? And 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.
And the Lord departed, when he left off speaking to Abraam, and Abraam returned to his place.
