Genesis 18
1 And the LORD appeared unto him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
Utuma Abrahaam guyyaa saafaadhaan qilxuu Mamree bira balbala dunkaana isaa dura taaʼee jiruu Waaqayyo isatti mulʼate.
2 and he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood over against him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,
Abrahaamis ol ilaalee namoota isa bira dhadhaabatan sadii arge. Innis akkuma isaan argeen balbala dunkaana isaa duraa kaʼee isaan simachuudhaaf itti fiige; hamma lafa gaʼuttis gad jedhee harka fuudhe.
3 and said, My lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
Innis akkana jedheen; “Gooftaa ko, yoo ani si duratti fudhatama argadhe, garbicha kee bira hin darbin.
4 let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
Bishaan xinnoo isiniif haa fidan; miilla dhiqadhaatii muka kana jala boqodhaa.
5 and I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your heart; after that ye shall pass on: forasmuch as ye are come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
Erga isin gara garbicha keessanii dhuftanii, ani akka isin dadhabbii baatanii karaa keessan itti fuftaniif waan isin nyaattan isiniifin kenna.” Isaanis, “Akkuma jette sana godhi” jedhanii deebisan.
6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.
Kanaafuu Abrahaam dafee Saaraatti dunkaana seenee, “Dafii daakuu bullaaʼaa safartuu sadii sukkuumiitii maxinoo tolchi” jedheen.
7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto the servant; and he hasted to dress it.
Innis gara saawwaniitti fiigee jabbii gabbatee itti tole tokko filatee hojjetaa tokkotti kenne; hojjetaan sunis qopheessuuf ariifate.
8 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 did eat.
Abrahaamis itittuu fi aannan, foon jabbii qopheeffame sanas geessee isaanii dhiʼeesse; yeroo isaan nyaachaa turanittis Abrahaam muka tokko jala isaan bira dhaabachaa ture.
9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
Isaanis, “Niitiin kee Saaraan eessa jirti?” jedhanii isa gaafatan. Innis, “Kuunnoo dunkaana keessa jirti” jedheen.
10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee when the season cometh round; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.
Isaan keessaa tokko, “Ani dhugumaan bara dhufu keessa yeroo akkanaatti deebiʼee gara kee nan dhufa; niitiin kee Saaraanis ilma ni deessi” jedhe. Yeroo sana Saaraan balbala dunkaanaa kan isa duubaan jiru keessaan dhaggeeffachaa turte.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, [and] well stricken in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
Abrahaamii fi Saaraan umuriin isaanii dheeratee dulloomanii turan; Saaraanis umurii itti mucaa daʼuu dandeessu dabartee turte.
12 And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
Kanaafuu Saaraan, “Ani erga jaaree bututee, gooftaan koos erga dulloomee booddee, gammachuu kana qabaachuu nan dandaʼaa?” jettee of keessatti kolfite.
13 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
Kana irratti Waaqayyo Abrahaamiin akkana jedhe; “Saaraan maaliif, ‘Ani ergan dulloomee booddee amma dhugumaan mucaa nan daʼaa?’ jettee kolfite?
14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the set time I will return unto thee, when the season cometh round, and Sarah shall have a son.
Wanni Waaqayyoof hin dandaʼamne tokko iyyuu jiraa? Ani bara dhufu keessa yeroo murteeffametti deebiʼee gara kee nan dhufa; Saaraanis ilma ni deessi.”
15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
Saaraanis waan sodaatteef sobdee, “Ani hin kolfine” jette. Inni garuu, “Lakkii kolfiteertaa” jedhe.
16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
Namoonni sun yommuu deemuuf kaʼanitti gara Sodoom gad ilaalan; Abrahaamis isaan geggeessuuf jedhee isaan wajjin baʼe.
17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that which I do;
Ergasii Waaqayyo akkana jedhe; “Ani waanan gochuuf jiru Abrahaamin nan dhoksaa?
18 seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Abrahaam dhugumaan saba guddaa fi jabaa taʼa; sabni lafa irraa hundinuu karaa isaatiin eebbifama.
19 For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; to the end that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
Akka inni ijoollee isaatii fi sanyii isaa warra isa duubaan dhufan, akka isaan waan qajeelaa fi sirrii taʼe hojjechuudhaan karaa Waaqayyoo eegan ajajuuf ani isa filadheeraatii; kunis akka Waaqayyo waan Abrahaamiif kakate sana isaaf guutuuf.”
20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
Waaqayyos akkana jedhe; “Iyyi Sodoomii fi Gomoraa irratti iyyame guddaa dha; cubbuun isaaniis waan akka malee hamaa taʼeef
21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
ani gad buʼee akka wanni isaan hojjetan akkuma iyya na qaqqabe sanaa hamaa taʼe nan ilaala. Yoo akkas taʼuu baate immoo natu beeka.”
22 And the men turned from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
Namoonni sunis garagalanii Sodoomitti qajeelan; Abrahaam garuu Waaqayyo dura dhaabatee hafe.
23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou consume the righteous with the wicked?
Abrahaamis isatti dhiʼaatee akkana jedhe; “Ati nama qajeelaa nama jalʼaa wajjin ni balleessitaa?
24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
Yoo namoonni qajeeloon shantamni magaalattii keessa jiraatan hoo? Ati dhugumaan ishee ni balleessitaa? Sababii qajeelota shantamman ishee keessa jiraatan sanaatiif jettee ishee hin oolchituu?
25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked; that be far from thee: shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
Qajeelaa fi hamaa wal qixxee ilaaluudhaan nama qajeelaa nama hamaa wajjin balleessuun sirraa haa fagaatu. Kun sirraa haa fagaatu! Abbaan murtii lafa hundaa waan qajeelaa hin hojjetuu?”
26 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake.
Waaqayyos, “Ani yoo magaalaa Sodoom keessatti qajeeltota shantama argadhe, isaaniif jedhee iddoo sana guutuu nan oolcha” jedhe.
27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
Abrahaam ammas akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani utuman awwaaraa fi daaraa taʼee jiruu Gooftaatti dubbachuuf ija jabaadheera;
28 peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I find there forty and five.
yoo baayʼinni qajeeltotaa shantama irraa shan hirʼate hoo? Ati sababii namoota shanan sanaatiif jettee magaalaa sana guutuu ni balleessitaa?” Innis, “Ani yoo nama afurtamii shan achitti argadhe ishee hin balleessu” jedhe.
29 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for the forty’s sake.
Abrahaam amma illee, “Yoo qajeeltonni afurtamni qofti achitti argaman hoo?” jedhee isatti dubbate. Gooftaanis, “Ani warra afurtama sanaaf jedhee nan dhiisa” jedhe.
30 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
Abrahaamis, “Mee nan dubbadhaatii Gooftaan, hin aarin. Yoo namoonni soddomni qofti achitti argaman hoo?” jedhe. Gooftaanis, “Ani yoon nama soddoma achitti argadhe ishee hin balleessu” jedhee deebise.
31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the twenty’s sake.
Abrahaamis, “Kunoo amma erga ani Gooftaatti dubbachuuf ija jabaadhe, yoo namoonni digdamni qofti achitti argaman hoo?” jedhe. Gooftaanis, “Ani sababii namoota digdama sanaatiif jedhee ishee hin balleessu” jedhe.
32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten’s sake.
Abrahaamis, “Yaa Gooftaa amma illee yeroo tokko waa sin gaafadhaatii maaloo hin aarin; yoo namni kudhan qofti achitti argame hoo?” jedhe. Gooftaan immoo, “Ani sababii namoota kurnan sanaatiif jedhee ishee hin balleessu” jedhe.
33 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
Waaqayyos erga Abrahaam wajjin dubbatee fixee booddee achii deeme. Abrahaam immoo iddoo ofii isaatti deebiʼe.
