Mui 18
1 A: ibalaha: me da Ma: melei soge amo sema ifa bagade lelebe sogebi esalu. Eso gia: beba: le, e da ea abula diasu logo holei gadenene filasa: i esalu. Amalalu, Hina Gode da ema doaga: i.
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 A: ibalaha: me da ba: legadole, dunu udiana gadenene lelebe ba: i. Ba: loba, e da hedolowane ili yosia: musa: asi, amola ilima begudui.
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 E amane sia: i, “Hina! Dilia da na hahawane ba: i galea, mae baligili masa.
And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
4 Na da hano gaguli misa: ne sia: mu. Amoga dilia emo dodofelalu, amo ifa ea ougiga helefima.
Let a little water, I pray you, be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
5 Na da dilia hawa: hamosu dunu defele esala. Dilia gasa bu lama: ne, na da dilima ha: i manu imunu da defeala: ?” Ilia da bu adole i, “Defea! Dia sia: i defele hamoma!”
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 Amaiba: le, A:ibalaha: me da hedolowane ea abula diasua golili sa: i. E da Selama amane sia: i, “Hedolo! Falaua 22 lida amo lale, bibiagole amola gobele agi ga: gi hamoma.”
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 Amalalu, A:ibalaha: me da ea lai gebo gilisisu amoga hehenane, bulamagau mano gasono ida: iwane lale, ea hawa: hamosu dunuma i. Amo da hedolowane hahamoi.
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 Amalalu, e da dodo maga: me haei, dodo maga: me amola bulamagau mano gobei, amo gaguli misini, sofe misi dunu ili amo moma: ne ligisi. Ilia da ha: i nanoba, e da ifa ea ougiga ilima gadenene lelu.
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 Ilia da ema amane adole ba: i, “Dia uda Sela da habila: ?” A: ibalaha: me da bu adole i, “E da abula diasu ganodini esala.”
And they said to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
10 Amalalu, Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Na da waha oubi sesegeyale uduli, dafawane dima misunu. Dia uda Sela da dunu mano lalelegemu.” Sela da abula diasu holei amo Hina Gode Ea baligiga galu amoga sia: lalabolalu.
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 A: ibalaha: me amola Sela da da: i hamoi dagoiba: le, Sela da mano lamu ode defei amo baligi dagoi ba: i.
Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well advanced in years; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
12 Amaiba: le, Sela da ea dogo ganodini ousu. Ea asigi dawa: su ganodini, e amane dawa: i, “Na da: i da wadela: lesi dagoi amola nagoa da da: i hamoi. Na da habodane amo hahawane hou ba: ma: bela: ?”
Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am become old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
13 Amalalu, Hina Gode da A: ibalaha: mema amane sia: i, “Sela da abuliba: le oune amane sia: i, ‘Na da da: i hamoiba: le, habodane mano lalelegema: bela: ?’
And the LORD said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I certainly bear a child, who am old?
14 Gasa bagade liligi hamomu da Godema hamedebela: ? Na da oubi sesegeyale uduli, eso ilegei defele na dima olelei, bu misunu. Amola Sela da dunu mano lalelegemu.”
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 Sela da beda: iba: le, ogogoi. E amane sia: i, “Na da hame oui.” Be Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Be di da oui dagoi.”
Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
16 Sofe misi dunu da masusa: wa: legadoloba, ilia da ba: le gaidi Sodame ba: i. Ilia da logoga ahoanoba, A:ibalaha: me da ili sigi asi.
And the men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 Amalalu, Hina Gode da Hima amane sia: i, “Na da waha hou hamomu amo A: ibalaha: mema wamolegema: bela: ?
And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
18 A: ibalaha: me ea fi da fi bagade amola gasa bagade hamomu. Ea houba: le, osobo bagade fifi asi gala huluane da hahawane dogolegele ilegesu ba: mu.
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
19 Bai Na da e ilegei dagoi. E da ea mano noga: le olelema: ne amola ea fi dunu da hou moloidafa amola dafawanedafa amo olelema: ne, Na da e ilegei. Amai galea, Na da Na hahawane ilegele sia: i liligi huluane ema imunu.”
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 Amalalu, Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Na da Sodame amola Goumola ela fi wadela: idafa hou amo nabi.
And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
21 Amaiba: le, Na da ilia hou ba: ma: ne amo da nabi liligi defele ganabela: ? Amo Na da ba: la masunu. Hame galea Na da dawa: mu.”
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 Sofe misi dunu da sinidigili, Sodame moilaiga doaga: musa: asi. Be A: ibalaha: me da mae fisili Hina Gode Ea midadi lelu.
And the men turned their faces from there, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
23 Amalalu, e da Hina Godema misini, amane sia: i, “Di da dafawane gilisili ida: iwane dunu amola wadela: i hamosu dunu ili fane legema: bela: ?
And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
24 Amabela: ? Dunu ida: iwane 50 agoane amo moilai bai bagade ganodini esalabala? Amai galea, Di da amo dunu ilia hou dawa: beba: le, amo moilai bai bagade fadegale fasima: bela: ?
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 Na da agoane dawa: Di da dunu ida: iwane amola wadela: i hamosu dunu gilisili hou afadafa fawane hamomu da hamedei gala. Amo hou da Dima hame gala. Osobo bagade fifi asi gala ilima Fofada: su Dunudafa, E da hou moloidafa fawane hamoma: bela: ? Na agoane dawa: E da moloidafa hou fawane hamomu.”
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 Hina Gode da bu amane sia: i, “Na da Sodame moilai bai bagade ganodini dunu ida: iwane gala 50 agoane ba: sea, Na da ilia hou dawa: beba: le, Sodame huluane hame gugunufinisimu.”
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 Amalalu, A:ibalaha: me da bu sia: i, “Na da osobo amola nasubu, amo fawane. Be na da mae beda: iwane, Hina Godema sia: i dagoiba: le, na da bu sia: mu.
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I who am dust and ashes, have taken upon me to speak to the Lord.
28 Di da Sodame moilai bai bagade ganodini, dunu ida: iwane 45 fawane ba: sea, Di da 50 defei amo ganodini wadela: i hamosu dunu biyale fawane ba: sea, moilai wadela: ma: bela: ?” E bu adole i, “Na da dunu ida: iwane 45 fawane ba: sea, moilai hame gugunufinisimu.”
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 A: ibalaha: me da eno amane sia: i, “Be 40 fawane ba: sea, adi hamoma: bela: ?” E amane sia: i, “Amo 40 ilia hou dawa: beba: le, Na da moilai bai bagade hame wadela: mu.”
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 Amalalu, A:ibalaha: me da amane sia: i, “Hina Gode! Nama mae ougima, be na da Dima bu sia: mu. Dunu 30 fawane ida: iwane esalea adi hamoma: bela: ?” E bu adole i, “Na da 30 ba: sea, moilai hame gugunufinisimu.”
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 A: ibalaha: me da amane sia: i, “Defea! Na da wali mae beda: iwane Hina Gode Ema sia: i dagoi. Be 20 fawane ba: sea?” E bu adole i, “Moloi dunu 20 ba: sea, Na da hame wadela: mu.”
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 A: ibalaha: me da amane sia: i, “Hina Gode! Nama mae ougima, be na da afadafa fawane eno Dima sia: mu. Dunu 10 ida: iwane fawane ba: sea, adi hamoma: bela: ?” Hina Gode da bu adole i, “Dunu 10 ilia hou ida: iwane ba: sea, Na da amo moilai hame gugunufinisimu.”
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 Hina Gode amola A: ibalaha: me, ela gilisili sia: dasu da dagoloba, Hina Gode da fisili asi amola A: ibalaha: me da hi diasuga buhagi.
And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had finished speaking with Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place.
