Genesis 18
1 And Jehovah appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre. And he sat at the tent-door in the heat of the day.
Gospod se mu je prikazal na Mamrejevih ravninah, on pa je sedel pri šotorskih vratih, v vročini dneva
2 And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, three men standing near him. And when he saw [them], he ran to meet them from the tent-door, and bowed himself to the earth,
in povzdignil svoje oči in pogledal in glej, pri njem so stali trije možje in ko jih je zagledal, je stekel od šotorskih vrat, da jih sreča in se priklonil proti tlom
3 and said, Lord, if now I have found favour in thine eyes, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.
ter rekel: »Moj Gospod, če sem torej našel naklonjenost v tvojih očeh, te prosim, ne odidi proč od svojega služabnika.
4 Let now a little water be fetched, that ye may wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
Naj bo prineseno, prosim te, malo vode in umijte svoja stopala in se spočijte pod drevesom.
5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread; and refresh yourselves; after that ye shall pass on; for therefore have ye passed on towards your servant. And they said, So do as thou hast said.
Prinesel bom grižljaj kruha in potolažite svoja srca. Nató boste šli dalje, kajti zato ste prišli k svojemu služabniku.« In rekli so: »Stôri tako, kakor si rekel.«
6 And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Knead quickly three seahs of wheaten flour, and make cakes.
Abraham se je podvizal v šotor k Sari ter ji rekel: »Brž pripravi tri mere fino mlete moke, zamesi jo in na ognjišču pripravi kolače.«
7 And Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf tender and good, and gave [it] to the attendant; and he hasted to dress it.
Abraham je stekel k čredi, vzel nežno in dobro tele ter ga dal mladeniču in ta je pohitel, da ga pripravi.
8 And he took thick and sweet milk, and the calf that he had dressed, and set [it] before them; and he stood before them under the tree, and they ate.
Vzel je maslo, mleko in tele, ki ga je pripravil in to postavil prednje, in stal je poleg njih, pod drevesom, oni pa so jedli.
9 And they said to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
Rekli so mu: »Kje je tvoja žena Sara?« Rekel je: »Glejte, v šotoru.«
10 And he said, I will certainly return to thee at [this] time of the year, and behold, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah was listening at the tent-door, which was behind him.
In on je rekel: »Zagotovo se bom vrnil k tebi glede na čas življenja in glej, tvoja žena Sara bo imela sina.« Sara pa je to slišala pri vratih šotora, ki je bil za njim.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old [and] advanced in age: it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
Torej Abraham in Sara sta bila stara in zelo zvrhana v letih in s Saro je prenehalo biti po običaju žensk.
12 And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am become old, shall I have pleasure, and my lord old?
Zato se je Sara v sebi zasmejala, rekoč: »Bom še imela užitek, potem ko sem se postarala [in] je tudi moj gospod postal star?«
13 And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why is this, that Sarah laughs, saying, Shall I indeed bear, when I am become old?
Gospod je rekel Abrahamu: »Zakaj se je Sara zasmejala, rekoč: ›Bom zares rodila otroka jaz, ki sem stara?‹
14 Is [any] matter too wonderful for Jehovah? At the time appointed I will return to thee, at [this] time of the year, and Sarah shall have a son.
Je za Gospoda katerakoli stvar pretežka? Ob določenem času se bom vrnil k tebi, glede na čas življenja in Sara bo imela sina.«
15 And Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid. And he said, No; but thou didst laugh.
Potem je Sara zanikala, rekoč: »Nisem se zasmejala, « kajti bila je prestrašena. On pa je rekel: »Ne, toda zasmejala si se.«
16 And the men rose up thence, and looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to conduct them.
Možje so vstali od tam in pogledali proti Sódomi in Abraham je odšel z njimi, da jih pospremi na pot.
17 And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing?
Gospod je rekel: »Mar naj pred Abrahamom prikrijem to stvar, ki jo počnem,
18 Since Abraham shall indeed become a great and mighty nation; and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him.
glede na to, da bo Abraham zagotovo postal velik in mogočen narod in bodo v njem blagoslovljeni vsi narodi zemlje?
19 For I know him that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice, in order that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham what he hath spoken of him.
Kajti poznam ga, da bo ukazal svojim otrokom in svoji družini za njim in se bodo držali Gospodove poti, da izvajajo pravičnost in sodbo, da bo Gospod nad Abrahama lahko privedel to, kar je govoril o njem.«
20 And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grievous,
Gospod je rekel: »Ker je vpitje Sódome in Gomóre veliko in ker je njihov greh zelo boleč,
21 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 [it].
bom torej šel dol in pogledal, ali so storili povsem glede na njihovo vpitje, ki je prišlo do mene; in če ne, bom vedel.«
22 And the men turned thence, and went towards Sodom; and Abraham remained yet standing before Jehovah.
Možje so svoje obraze obrnili od tam in odšli proti Sódomi, toda Abraham je kljub temu stopil pred Gospoda.
23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also cause the righteous to perish with the wicked?
Abraham se je približal in rekel: »Hočeš prav tako uničiti pravične z zlobnimi?
24 There are perhaps fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not forgive the place for the sake of the fifty righteous that are therein?
Morda je znotraj mesta petdeset pravičnih. Hočeš prav tako uničiti kraj in mu ne prizanesti zaradi petdesetih pravičnih, ki so v njem?
25 Far be it from thee to do so, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that the righteous should be as the wicked — far be it from thee! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?
To bodi daleč od tebe, da storiš na ta način, da z zlobnimi pokončaš pravične in da bi bili pravični kakor zlobni, to bodi daleč od tebe. Mar ne bo Sodnik vse zemlje storil pravično?«
26 And Jehovah said, If I find at Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will forgive all the place for their sakes.
Gospod je rekel: »Če najdem v Sódomi, znotraj mesta, petdeset pravičnih, potem bom zaradi njih prizanesel celemu kraju.«
27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have ventured to speak unto the Lord; I, who am dust and ashes.
Abraham pa je odgovoril in rekel: »Glej torej, nase, ki sem samo prah in pepel, sem vzel, da govorim Gospodu.
28 Perhaps there may want five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city on account of the five? And he said, If I shall find forty-five there, I will not destroy [it].
Morda jih bo manjkalo pet do petdesetih pravičnih. Hočeš mesto uničiti zaradi pomanjkanja petih?« On pa je rekel: »Če jih najdem tam petinštirideset, ga ne bom uničil.«
29 And he continued yet to speak with him, and said, Perhaps there may be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for the forty's sake.
Ponovno mu je spregovoril in rekel: »Morda jih bo tam najdenih štirideset.« On pa je rekel: » Tega ne bom storil zaradi štiridesetih.«
30 And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry that I speak! Perhaps there may be thirty found there. And he said, I will not do it if I find thirty there.
Rekel mu je: »Oh naj moj Gospod ne bo jezen, jaz pa bom govoril: ›Morda jih bo tam najdenih trideset.‹« On pa je rekel: » Tega ne bom storil, če jih tam najdem trideset.«
31 And he said, Behold now, I have ventured to speak with the Lord. Perhaps there may be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for the twenty's sake.
Rekel je: »Glej torej, vzel sem nase, da govorim Gospodu: ›Morda jih bo tam najdenih dvajset.‹« On pa je rekel: »Ne bom ga uničil zaradi dvajsetih.«
32 And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, that I speak yet but this time! Perhaps there may be ten found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for the ten's sake.
Rekel je: »Oh naj Gospod ne bo jezen, jaz pa bom govoril samo še tokrat: ›Morda jih bo tam najdenih deset.‹« On pa je rekel: »Ne bom ga uničil zaradi desetih.«
33 And Jehovah went away when he had ended speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.
Gospod je odšel svojo pot takoj, ko je prenehal govoriti z Abrahamom. Abraham pa se je vrnil na svoj kraj.
