Genesis 18
1 Then the Lord appeared to him, in the steep valley of Mamre, when he was sitting at the door of his tent, in the very heat of the day.
Un Tas Kungs viņam parādījās pie Mamres ozoliem, kad viņš sēdēja sava nama durvīs, ap dienas karstumu.
2 And when he had lifted up his eyes, there appeared to him three men, standing near him. When he had seen them, he ran to meet them from the door of his tent, and he reverenced them on the ground.
Un viņš pacēla savas acis un skatījās, un redzi, trīs vīri stāvēja viņa priekšā.
3 And he said: “If I, O lord, have found grace in your eyes, do not pass by your servant.
Un tos ieraudzījis viņš tiem tecēja pretī no dzīvokļa durvīm un nometās pie zemes un sacīja: Kungs, ja es esmu žēlastību atradis Tavās acīs, tad lūdzams neej garām Savam kalpam.
4 But I will bring a little water, and you may wash your feet and rest under the tree.
Lai atnes drusciņ ūdens, un mazgājiet savas kājas un apmetaties apakš šī koka.
5 And I will set out a meal of bread, so that you may strengthen your heart; after this you will pass on. It is for this reason that you have turned aside to your servant.” And they said, “Do as you have spoken.”
Un es dabūšu kādu kumosu maizes, ka jūs atspirdzināt savu sirdi; pēc varat iet; jo tāpēc jūs esat pie sava kalpa nākuši. Un tie sacīja: dari, kā tu esi sacījis.
6 Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and he said to her, “Quickly, mix together three measures of the finest wheat flour and make loaves baked under the ashes.”
Un Ābrahāms traucās dzīvoklī pie Sāras un sacīja: steidzies, ņem sijātu miltu trīs mērus, samīci un cep karašas.
7 In truth, he himself ran to the herd, and he took a calf from there, very tender and very good, and he gave it to a servant, who hurried and boiled it.
Un Ābrāams notecēja pie lopiem un ņēma vienu mīkstu un labu teļu un deva to puisim, un tas steidzās to sataisīt.
8 Likewise, he took butter and milk, and the calf which he had boiled, and he placed it before them. Yet truly, he himself stood near them under the tree.
Un viņš ņēma sviestu un pienu un to teļu, ko bija sataisījis, un cēla tiem priekšā un stāvēja pats pie tiem apakš tā koka, un tie ēda.
9 And when they had eaten, they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” He answered, “Behold, she is in the tent.”
Tad tie uz viņu sacīja: kur ir Sāra, tava sieva? Un viņš sacīja: redzi, iekšā dzīvoklī.
10 And he said to him, “When returning, I will come to you at this time, with life as a companion, and your wife Sarah will have a son.” Hearing this, Sarah laughed behind the door of the tent.
Un tas sacīja: nāktin Es atnākšu pie tevis ap šo laiku nākamā gadā; un redzi, Sārai, tavai sievai, būs dēls. Un Sāra to dzirdēja dzīvokļa durvīs; jo tās bija aiz viņa.
11 Now they were both old, and in an advanced state of life, and it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
Bet Ābrahāms un Sāra bija veci un daudz dienas piedzīvojuši, un pie Sāras vairs nebija, kā sievām mēdz būt.
12 And she laughed secretly, saying, “After I have grown old, and my lord is elderly, shall I give myself to the work of delight?”
Tad Sāra pati pie sevis smējās sacīdama: vai tad man izdēdējušai būs kārība, un mans kungs ir vecīgs?
13 Then the Lord said to Abraham: “Why did Sarah laugh, saying: ‘How can I, an old woman, actually give birth?’
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Ābrahāmu: kam Sāra smējusies par to sacīdama: vai es tiešām dzemdēšu, veca būdama?
14 Is anything difficult for God? According to the announcement, he will return to you at this same time, with life as a companion, and Sarah will have a son.”
Vai tad kāda lieta Tam Kungam neiespējama? Noliktā laikā Es atnākšu pie tevis nākamā gadā, tad Sārai būs dēls.
15 Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not laugh.” For she was terribly afraid. But the Lord said, “It is not so; for you did laugh.”
Un Sāra liedzās sacīdama: es neesmu smējusies. Jo tai bija bail. Bet Viņš sacīja: nē, tu esi gan smējusies.
16 Therefore, when the men had risen up from there, they directed their eyes against Sodom. And Abraham traveled with them, leading them.
Tad tie vīri no turienes cēlās un griezās uz Sodomu. Un Ābrahāms gāja tiem līdz, tos pavadīdams.
17 And the Lord said: “How could I hide what I am about to do from Abraham,
Un Tas Kungs sacīja: vai man būs slēpt Ābrahāmam, ko gribu darīt?
18 since he will become a great and very robust nation, and in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed?
Jo Ābrahāms būs par lielu un varenu tautu, un iekš viņa visi ļaudis virs zemes taps svētīti.
19 For I know that he will instruct his sons, and his household after him, to keep to the way of the Lord, and to act with judgment and justice, so that, for the sake of Abraham, the Lord may bring about all the things that he has spoken to him.”
Jo Es to esmu atzinis, lai viņš saviem bērniem un savam namam pēc sevis pavēl sargāt Tā Kunga ceļu, darot, kas taisnība un kas tiesa, ka Tas Kungs liktu nākt uz Ābrahāmu, ko Viņš tam runājis.
20 And so the Lord said, “The outcry from Sodom and Gomorrah has been multiplied, and their sin has become exceedingly grievous.
Un Tas Kungs sacīja: liela brēkšana ir par Sodomu un Gomoru, un viņu grēki ļoti grūti.
21 I will descend and see whether they have fulfilled the work of the outcry that has reached me, or whether it is not so, in order that I may know.”
Tad nu Es noiešu un lūkošu, vai tie visnotaļ ir darījuši pēc tās brēkšanas, kas Manā priekšā nākusi, vai ne; to Es gribu zināt.
22 And they turned themselves from there, and they went toward Sodom. Yet in truth, Abraham still stood in the sight of the Lord.
Un tie vīri griezās no turienes un gāja uz Sodomu; bet Ābrahāms stāvēja vēl Tā Kunga priekšā.
23 And as they drew near, he said: “Will you destroy the just with the impious?
Un Ābrahāms piegāja un sacīja: vai Tu samaitāsi taisno ar bezdievīgo?
24 If there were fifty of the just in the city, will they perish with the rest? And will you not spare that place for the sake of fifty of the just, if they were in it?
Varbūt, ka piecdesmit taisni tai pilsētā, vai Tu tos samaitāsi un to vietu nežēlosi to piecdesmit taisno dēļ, kas viņu starpā?
25 Far be it from you to do this thing, and to kill the just with the impious, and for the just to be treated like the impious. No, this is not like you. You judge all the earth; you would never make such a judgment.”
Ne mūžam Tu tā nedarīsi, nonāvēdams taisno līdz ar bezdievīgo, ka taisnais būtu tā kā bezdievīgais; ne mūžam! - vai visas pasaules soģis nedarīs taisni?
26 And the Lord said to him, “If I find in Sodom fifty of the just in the midst of the city, I will release the entire place because of them.”
Tad Tas Kungs sacīja: ja Es Sodomas pilsētā atradīšu piecdesmit taisnus, tad Es žēlošu visu to vietu viņu labad.
27 And Abraham responded by saying: “Since now I have begun, I will speak to my Lord, though I am dust and ashes.
Un Ābrahāms atbildēja un sacīja: redzi jel, es esmu iedrošinājies ar To Kungu runāt, jebšu es esmu pīšļi un pelni.
28 What if there were five less than fifty of the just? Would you, despite the forty-five, eliminate the entire city?” And he said, “I will not eliminate it, if I find forty-five there.”
Ja tur piecu trūktu no tiem piecdesmit taisniem, vai šo piecu dēļ Tu samaitātu visu to pilsētu? Un Viņš sacīja: Es to nesamaitāšu, ja tur atradīšu četrdesmit un piecus.
29 And again he said to him, “But if forty were found there, what would you do?” He said, “I will not strike, for the sake of the forty.”
Tad tas joprojām runāja uz Viņu un sacīja: ja tur atrastos četrdesmit? Un Viņš sacīja: Es nekā nedarīšu to četrdesmit labad.
30 “I ask you,” he said, “not to be angry, Lord, if I speak. What if thirty were found there?” He responded, “I will not act, if I find thirty there.”
Un tas sacīja: neapskaities, Kungs, lūdzams, ka es vēl runāju: ja tur atrastos trīsdesmit? Un Viņš sacīja: Es to nedarīšu, ja atradīšu trīsdesmit.
31 “Since now I have begun,” he said, “I will speak to my Lord. What if twenty were found there?” He said, “I will not put to death, for the sake of the twenty.”
Un tas sacīja: redzi jel, es esmu iedrošinājies uz To Kungu runāt: ja tur atrastos divdesmit? Un Viņš sacīja: Es nesamaitāšu to divdesmit labad.
32 “I beg you,” he said, “not to be angry, Lord, if I speak yet once more. What if ten were found there?” And he said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten.”
Un tas sacīja: neapskaities, Kungs, lūdzams, ka es vēl vienreiz runāju, - ja tur atrastos desmit? Un Viņš sacīja: Es nesamaitāšu to desmit labad.
33 And the Lord departed, after he had ceased speaking to Abraham, who then returned to his place.
Tad Tas Kungs aizgāja, kad bija beidzis uz Ābrahāmu runāt, un Ābrahāms griezās atpakaļ uz savu vietu.
