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.
Olúwa sì farahan Abrahamu nítòsí àwọn igi ńlá Mamre, bí ó ti jókòó ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ rẹ̀, nígbà tí ọjọ́-kanrí tí oòrùn sì mú.
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.
Abrahamu gbójú sókè, ó sì rí àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́ta tí wọn dúró nítòsí rẹ̀. Nígbà tí ó rí wọn, ó sáré láti lọ pàdé wọn, ó sì tẹríba bí ó ti ń kí wọn.
3 And he said: “If I, O lord, have found grace in your eyes, do not pass by your servant.
Ó wí pé, “Bí mo bá rí ojúrere yín Olúwa mi, ẹ má ṣe lọ láì yà sọ́dọ̀ ìránṣẹ́ yín.
4 But I will bring a little water, and you may wash your feet and rest under the tree.
Ẹ jẹ́ kí a bu omi díẹ̀ wá kí ẹ̀yin kí ó wẹ ẹsẹ̀ yín, kí ẹ sì sinmi lábẹ́ igi níhìn-ín.
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.”
Ẹ jẹ́ kí n wá oúnjẹ wá fún un yín, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè jẹ, kí ara sì tù yín, kí ẹ si tẹ̀síwájú ní ọ̀nà yín, nígbà tí ẹ ti yà ní ọ̀dọ̀ ìránṣẹ́ yín.” Wọn sì wí pé “Ó dára.”
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.”
Abrahamu sì yára tọ Sara aya rẹ̀ lọ nínú àgọ́, ó wí pé, “Tètè mú òsùwọ̀n ìyẹ̀fun dáradára mẹ́ta kí o sì pò ó pọ̀, kí o sì ṣe oúnjẹ.”
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.
Abrahamu sì tún sáré lọ sí ibi agbo ẹran, ó sì mú ọmọ màlúù kan fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, ìránṣẹ́ náà sì tètè ṣè é.
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.
Ó sì mú wàrà àti mílíìkì àti màlúù tí ó ti pèsè, ó sì gbé síwájú wọn. Ó sì dúró nítòsí wọn lábẹ́ igi bí wọn ti ń jẹ ẹ́.
9 And when they had eaten, they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” He answered, “Behold, she is in the tent.”
Wọn béèrè pé, “Sara aya rẹ ń kọ́?” Ó dáhùn pé, “Ó wà nínú àgọ́.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí fún un pé, “Èmi yóò sì tún padà tọ̀ ọ́ wá nítòótọ́ ní ìwòyí àmọ́dún; Sara aya rẹ yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan.” Sara sì ń dẹtí gbọ́ láti ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ tí ó wà lẹ́yìn ọkùnrin náà.
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.
Abrahamu àti Sara sì ti di arúgbó, Sara sì ti kọjá àsìkò ìbímọ.
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?”
Nítorí náà, Sara rẹ́rìn-ín nínú ara rẹ̀ bí ó ti ń rò ó lọ́kàn rẹ̀ pé, “Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí mo ti di arúgbó tán tí olúwa mi pẹ̀lú sì ti gbó jọ̀kújọ̀kú, èmi yóò ha tún lè bímọ?”
13 Then the Lord said to Abraham: “Why did Sarah laugh, saying: ‘How can I, an old woman, actually give birth?’
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí fún Abrahamu pé, “Kín ló dé tí Sara fi rẹ́rìn-ín tí ó sì wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò ha bímọ nítòótọ́, nígbà tí mo di ẹni ogbó tán?’
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.”
Ǹjẹ́ ohunkóhun wà tí ó ṣòro jù fún Olúwa? Èmi ó padà tọ̀ ọ́ wá ní ìwòyí àmọ́dún, Sara yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin.”
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.”
Ẹ̀rù sì ba Sara, ó sì sẹ́ pé òun kò rẹ́rìn-ín. Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa wí fún un pé, “Dájúdájú ìwọ rẹ́rìn-ín.”
16 Therefore, when the men had risen up from there, they directed their eyes against Sodom. And Abraham traveled with them, leading them.
Nígbà tí àwọn ọkùnrin náà dìde láti máa lọ, wọn kọjú sí ọ̀nà Sodomu, Abrahamu sì sìn wọ́n dé ọ̀nà.
17 And the Lord said: “How could I hide what I am about to do from Abraham,
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ èmi yóò ha pa ohun tí mo fẹ́ ṣe mọ́ fún Abrahamu bí?
18 since he will become a great and very robust nation, and in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed?
Dájúdájú Abrahamu yóò sá à di orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá àti alágbára, àti gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ayé ni a ó bùkún fún nípasẹ̀ rẹ̀.
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.”
Nítorí tí èmi ti yàn án láti kọ́ àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ àti àwọn ará ilé rẹ̀ lẹ́yìn rẹ̀, láti máa pa ọ̀nà Olúwa mọ nípa ṣíṣe olóòtítọ́ àti olódodo: kí Olúwa le è mú ìlérí rẹ̀ fún Abrahamu ṣẹ.”
20 And so the Lord said, “The outcry from Sodom and Gomorrah has been multiplied, and their sin has become exceedingly grievous.
Olúwa sì wí pé, igbe Sodomu àti Gomorra pọ̀ púpọ̀ àti pé ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn burú jọjọ.
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.”
“Èmi yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀ síbẹ̀ láti ṣe ìwádìí igbe tí ó dé sí etí ìgbọ́ mi nípa wọn, kí èmi sì mọ òtítọ́ tí ó wà níbẹ̀.”
22 And they turned themselves from there, and they went toward Sodom. Yet in truth, Abraham still stood in the sight of the Lord.
Àwọn ọkùnrin náà yí padà, wọ́n sì ń lọ sí ìhà Sodomu. Ṣùgbọ́n Abrahamu dúró níbẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa.
23 And as they drew near, he said: “Will you destroy the just with the impious?
Nígbà náà ni Abrahamu súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa, ó sì wí pé, “Ìwọ yóò ha pa olódodo ènìyàn àti ènìyàn búburú run papọ̀ bí?”
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?
“Bí ó bá ṣe pé ìwọ rí àádọ́ta olódodo nínú ìlú náà, ìwọ yóò ha run ún, ìwọ kì yóò ha dá ìlú náà sí nítorí àwọn àádọ́ta olódodo tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀ náà?
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.”
Kò jẹ́ rí bẹ́ẹ̀! Dájúdájú ìwọ kì yóò ṣe ohun tí ó jọ bẹ́ẹ̀, láti pa olódodo pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn rere àti àwọn ènìyàn búburú. Dájúdájú, ìwọ kì yóò ṣe èyí tí ó tọ́ bi?”
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.”
Olúwa wí pé, “Bí mo bá rí àádọ́ta olódodo ní ìlú Sodomu, èmi yóò dá ìlú náà sí nítorí tiwọn.”
27 And Abraham responded by saying: “Since now I have begun, I will speak to my Lord, though I am dust and ashes.
Abrahamu sì tún tẹ̀síwájú pé, “Wò ó nísinsin yìí, níwọ̀n bí èmi ti ní ìgboyà láti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí sọ̀rọ̀ níwájú Olúwa, èmi ẹni tí í ṣe erùpẹ̀ àti eérú,
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.”
bí ó bá ṣe pe olódodo márùndínláàádọ́ta ni ó wà nínú ìlú, ìwọ yóò ha pa ìlú náà run nítorí ènìyàn márùn-ún bí?” Olúwa dáhùn pé, “Èmi kì yóò pa ìlú náà run bí mo bá rí olódodo márùndínláàádọ́ta nínú rẹ̀.”
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.”
Òun sì tún wí lẹ́ẹ̀kan si pé, “Bí ó bá ṣe pé ogójì ni ń kọ́?” Olúwa sì tún wí pé, “Èmi kì yóò pa ìlú náà run bí mo bá rí olódodo ogójì nínú rẹ̀.”
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.”
Abrahamu sì tún bẹ Olúwa pé, “Kí Olúwa má ṣe bínú, ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò sọ̀rọ̀. Bí ó bá ṣe pé ọgbọ̀n ni a rí níbẹ̀ ń kọ́?” Olúwa dáhùn pé, “Bí mó bá rí ọgbọ̀n, èmi kì yóò pa ìlú run.”
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.”
Abrahamu wí pé, “Níwọ́n bí mo ti ní ìgboyà láti bá Olúwa sọ̀rọ̀ báyìí, jẹ́ kí n tẹ̀síwájú. Bí o bá ṣe pé olódodo ogún péré ni ó wà nínú ìlú náà ń kọ́?” Olúwa sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi kì yóò pa á run nítorí ogún ènìyàn náà.”
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.”
Abrahamu sì wí pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ má ṣe bínú Olúwa. Jẹ́ kí ń béèrè lẹ́ẹ̀kan si. Bí ó bá ṣe pé ènìyàn mẹ́wàá ni ó jẹ́ olódodo ń kọ́?” Olúwa wí pé, “Nítorí ènìyàn mẹ́wàá náà, èmi kì yóò pa á run.”
33 And the Lord departed, after he had ceased speaking to Abraham, who then returned to his place.
Olúwa sì bá tirẹ̀ lọ, nígbà tí ó bá Abrahamu sọ̀rọ̀ tán, Abrahamu sì padà sílé.
