Genesis 18
1 And God appeared to him by the oak of Mambre, as he sat by the door of his tent at noon.
Alò, SENYÈ a te parèt a li nan bwadchenn Marmré yo pandan li te chita akote pòt tant la nan chalè jounen an.
2 And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold! 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.
Lè li te leve zye li pou te gade, men twa mesye ki te kanpe anfas li. Lè li te wè yo li te kouri sòti nan pòt tant lan pou rankontre yo, e li te bese tèt li atè.
3 And he said, Lord, if indeed I have found grace in your sight, pass not by your servant.
Li te di: “SENYÈ mwen, si koulye a mwen vin twouve favè nan zye nou, souple, pa pase lwen sèvitè nou an.
4 Let water now be brought, and let them wash your feet, and do you refresh [yourselves] under the tree.
Souple, kite yon ti dlo ta pote pou lave pye nou, e repoze nou anba pyebwa a.
5 And I will bring bread, and you shall eat, and after this you shall depart on your journey, on account of which [refreshment] you have turned aside to your servant. And he said, So do, as you have said.
Konsa, mwen va pote yon moso pen, pou nou kapab rafrechi nou menm; apre sa nou kapab kontinye, depi nou fin vizite sèvitè nou an.” Epi yo te di: “Fè sa ke ou di a.”
6 And Abraam hasted to the tent to Sarrha, and said to her, Hasten, and knead three measures of fine flour, and make cakes.
Epi Abraham te kouri antre nan tant lan vè Sarah, e te di: “Fè vit, prepare twa mezi farin fen, byen bat li, e fè gato pen.”
7 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.
Abraham osi te kouri nan pak bèf, li te pran yon jenn bèf byen mou, byen chwazi, e li te bay li a sèvitè li, ki te fè vit pou prepare li.
8 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.
Li te pran bòl lèt kaye yo avèk lèt fre ak jèn bèf ke li te prepare, e te plase li devan yo; epi li te kanpe bò kote yo anba pyebwa a pandan yo t ap manje.
9 And he said to him, Where is Sarrha your wife? And he answered and said, Behold! in the tent.
Alò, yo te di li: “Kote Sarah, madanm ou?” Epi li te di: “Nan tant lan”.
10 And he said, I will return and come to you according to this period seasonably, and Sarrha your wife shall have a son; and Sarrha heard at the door of the tent, being behind him.
Epi li te di: “Anverite, mwen va retounen bò kote ou nan lè sa ane pwochèn; epi gade byen, Sarah, madanm ou va gen tan gen yon fis.” Epi Sarah t ap koute bò kote pòt la, ki te dèyè li a.
11 And Abraam and Sarrha were old, advanced in days, and the custom of women ceased with Sarrha.
Alò, Abraham ak Sarah te vye, byen avanse nan laj. Sarah te depase laj pou fè pitit.
12 And Sarrha laughed in herself, saying, The thing has not as yet happened to me, even until now, and my lord is old.
Sarah te ri a tèt li, e te di: “Lè m gen tan fin vye a, èske m ap gen plezi, e mari mwen ki vye tou?”
13 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.
Epi SENYÈ a te di Abraham: “Poukisa Sara te ri, e t ap di: ‘Èske vrèman mwen va fè yon pitit lè mwen fin vye a?’
14 Shall anything be impossible with the Lord? At this time I will return to you seasonably, and Sarrha shall have a son.
“Èske gen anyen ki twò difisil pou SENYÈ a? Nan lè chwazi a, mwen va retounen a nou menm, nan lè sa a, lane pwochèn, e Sarah va gen yon fis.”
15 But Sarrha denied, saying, I did not laugh, for she was afraid. And he said to her, Nay, but you did laugh.
Sarah te demanti sa, e te di: “Mwen pa t ri non”; paske li te pè. Epi Li te di: “Non, men ou te ri.”
16 And the men having risen up from thence looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha. And Abraam went with them, attending them on their journey.
Alò, mesye yo te leve la e yo te gade pi ba vè Sodome; epi Abraham t ap mache avèk yo pou voye yo ale.
17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraam my servant what things I intend to do?
SENYÈ a te di: “Èske Mwen kab kache Abraham sa ke M prè pou M fè a,
18 But Abraam shall become a great and populous nation, and in him shall all the nations of the earth be blest.
paske Abraham va anverite vin yon gran nasyon byen fò, e nan li, tout nasyon yo va beni?
19 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 whatever he has spoken to him.
Paske Mwen te chwazi li pou l kapab kòmande pitit li yo avèk lakay li, pou kenbe chemen SENYÈ a, pou fè ladwati avèk jistis, pou SENYÈ a kapab fè rive sou Abraham, sa ke Li te pale de li a.”
20 And the Lord said, The cry of Sodom and Gomorrha has been increased towards me, and their sins are very great.
Epi SENYÈ a te di: “Gwo kri kont Sodome avèk Gomorrhe a byen gran, e peche pa yo grav depase.
21 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.
Mwen va desann koulye a, pou wè si yo te fè tout bagay selon gwo kri sa a, ki te vin jwenn Mwen an; epi si se pa sa, m ap konnen.”
22 And the men having departed thence, came to Sodom; and Abraam was still standing before the Lord.
Alò, mesye yo te vire kite la, e te ale vè Sodome, pandan Abraham toujou kanpe devan SENYÈ a.
23 And Abraam drew near and said, Wouldest you destroy the righteous with the wicked, and shall the righteous be as the wicked?
Abraham te vin pwoche, e te di L: “Èske Ou vrèman va fè disparèt moun dwat yo ansanm avèk mechan yo?
24 Should there be fifty righteous in the city, will you destroy them? will you not spare the whole place for the sake of the fifty righteous, if they be in it?
Sipoze ke gen senkant moun ki dwat nan vil la; èske vrèman Ou va fè l disparèt, e pa prezève kote a pou koz a senkant moun dwat ki ladann yo?
25 By no means shall you 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. You that judge the whole earth, shall you not do right?
“Se lwen Ou pou Ou ta fè yon bagay konsa, pou touye moun dwat yo avèk mechan yo pou dwat yo avèk mechan yo vin trete menm jan. Se lwen Ou menm! Èske Jij sou tout latè a p ap aji avèk jistis?”
26 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.
Epi SENYÈ a te di: “Si Mwen twouve nan Sodome, senkant moun dwat nan vil la, alò, Mwen va prezève tout pou koz a yo menm.”
27 And Abraam answered and said, Now I have begun to speak to my Lord, and I am earth and ashes.
Epi Abraham te reponn: “Alò gade byen, mwen te tante pale ak SENYÈ a, malgre mwen pa plis ke pousyè avèk sann.
28 But if the fifty righteous should be diminished to forty-five, will you destroy the whole city because of the five [lacking]? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I should find there forty-five.
Vin sipoze ke senkant dwat yo manke senk, èske Ou va detwi tout vil la akoz senk lan?” Epi li te di: “Mwen p ap detwi li si Mwen twouve karant-senk ki la.”
29 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.
Epi li te pale ankò, e te di: “Sipoze ke gen karant ki twouve la?” Epi li te di: “Mwen p ap fè li pou koz a karant lan.”
30 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.
Alò li te di: “O ke SENYÈ a pa vin fache avè m, e mwen va pale; sipoze se trant ki twouve la?” Epi Li te di: “Mwen p ap fè li si Mwen twouve trant lan.”
31 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.
Epi li te di: “Koulye a byen gade, mwen te tante pale avèk SENYÈ a; sipoze se ven ki twouve la?” Epi li te di: “Mwen p ap detwi li pou koz a ven yo.”
32 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.
Alò li te di: “O ke Senyè a pa vin fache avè m! M ap pale sèl fwa sa; sipoze ke se dis ki twouve la?” Epi li te di: “Mwen p ap detwi li pou koz a dis yo.”
33 And the Lord departed, when he left off speaking to Abraam, and Abraam returned to his place.
Depi lè ke li fin pale ak Abraham nan, SENYÈ a te pati, e Abraham te retounen nan kote pa li.
