Genesis 18
1 One day during that year when it was hot, Yahweh appeared to Abraham again near the big trees that belonged to Mamre, while Abraham was sitting in the entrance to his tent.
Nagparang ni Yahweh kenni Abraham iti ayan dagiti kayo a lugo idiay Mamre, bayat a nakatugaw isuna iti ruangan ti tolda iti kapudotan ti aldaw.
2 Abraham looked up [MTY] and was surprised to see three men standing near him. [Actually, one was Yahweh, and the other two were angels]. When he saw them, he ran to meet them. He prostrated himself with his face on the ground to show respect,
Timmangad isuna ket, pagammoan, nakitana nga adda tallo a lallaki nga agtaktakder iti batogna. Idi nakitana isuda, nagtaray isuna a nangsabat kadakuada manipud iti ruangan ti tolda ket nagdumog a nagparintumeng iti daga.
3 and said [to one of them], “Sir, if you are pleased with me, stay here for a little while [LIT].
Kinunana, “Apo, no makaay-ayoak iti imatangmo, saanyo koma a labsan toy adipenmo.
4 Allow my servants to bring a little water and wash your feet, and rest under this tree.
Adda koma bassit a danum a maiyeg a pangbuggoyo kadagiti sakayo, ket aginanakayo iti sirok ti kayo.
5 Since you have come here to me, allow me to bring you some food [SYN] so that you can feel refreshed before you leave.” Yahweh replied, “All right, do as you have said.”
Ipalubosyo koma a mangiyegak iti bassit a taraon, tapno mabang-arankayo. Kalpasanna, mabalinyon iti mapan, agsipud ta immaykayo iti adipenyo.” Ket kinunada, “Aramidem kas iti imbagam.”
6 So Abraham quickly went into the tent and said to Sarah, “Quick, get some of our best flour and make some loaves of bread!”
Kalpasanna, nagdardaras ni Abraham a napan iti tolda nga ayan ni Sarah, ket kinunana, “Darasem, mangalaka iti tallo a takal ti napino nga arina, masaem daytoy, ket agaramidka iti tinapay.”
7 Then he ran to the herd of cattle and selected a calf whose meat would be tender and tasty. He gave it to one of his servants [and told him to] quickly kill it and cook it.
Kalpasanna, nagtaray ni Abraham a napan iti ayan dagiti arban, ket nangala isuna iti ubing pay ken napintas a baka, ket intedna daytoy iti adipen, ket nagdardaras ti adipen a nangisagana iti daytoy.
8 When the meat was cooked, Abraham brought some curds and milk and the meat that had been prepared, and set them in front of his visitors. Then he stood near them, under a tree, while they ate.
Nangala iti keso ken gatas, ken ti baka a naisaganan, ket inkabilna ti taraon iti sangoananda, ket nagtakder iti abayda bayat a mangmanganda iti sirok ti kayo.
9 [One of] them asked him, “Where is Sarah, your wife?” He replied, “She is in the tent.”
Kinunada kenkuana, “Sadino ti ayan ni Sarah nga asawam?” Insungbatna, “Idiay, uneg ti tolda.”
10 Then the leader of the group said, “I will return to you (about this time/in the springtime) next year, and to your amazement, your wife Sarah will have an infant son.” It happened that Sarah was listening at the entrance of the tent, which was behind the one who was speaking.
Kinunana, “Agsubliakto kenka iti kastoy met laeng a tiempo inton sumaruno a tawen, ket makitamto, maaddanto iti anak a lalaki ni Sarah nga asawam.” Agdengdengngeg ni Sarah nga adda iti ruangan ti tolda, iti likudanna.
11 Abraham and Sarah were very old, and Sarah was far past the time of when she could bear children.
Ita, lakay ken baketen da Abraham ken Sarah, nataenganda unayen, ken limmabesen ni Sarah iti tiempo a kabaelan pay dagiti babbai iti agipasngay iti ubing.
12 So Sarah laughed to herself, thinking, “My body is worn out, and my husband is old. So how can I have the pleasure [of having a child]?” [RHQ]
Isu a kinatawaan ni Sarah ti bukodna a bagi, a kinunana iti bagina, “Kalpasan a bimmaketakon, maaddaanak pay ngata iti kastoy a pakaragsakan, kasta met a ti apok ket lakay metten?”
13 Yahweh said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? Why was she thinking, ‘I am too old, so how can I bear a child?’
Kinuna ni Yaweh kenni Abraham, “Apay a nagkatawa ni Sarah ken kunana, 'Pudno ngata nga aganakak, idinto a baketakon?'
14 I am Yahweh! (Is there anything too difficult for me?/There is nothing too difficult for me!) [RHQ] I will return about this time next year in the springtime, and Sarah will have an infant son.”
Adda kadi aniaman a banag a narigat unay para kenni Yahweh? Iti tiempo nga intudingko, iti kastoy met laeng a tiempo inton sumaruno a tawen, agsubliakto kenka ket maaddaanto ni Sarah iti anak a lalaki.”
15 Then Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, “I did not laugh.” But Yahweh said, “Don’t deny it! You did laugh.”
Ket inlibak ni Sarah daytoy a kinunana, “Saanak a nagkatawa,” ta nagbuteng isuna. Insungbatna, “Saan, nagkatawaka.”
16 When the three men got up to leave, they looked down into the valley toward Sodom [city]. Abraham was walking with them to say “goodbye” to them.
Ket timmakderen dagiti lalaki tapno pumanaw ken kimmitada iti baba nga agturong iti Sodoma. Kimmuyog kadakuada ni Abraham tapno itulodna ida iti dalanda.
17 Yahweh thought to himself, “It is not right for me to prevent Abraham from knowing what I plan to do [RHQ].
Ngem kinuna ni Yahweh, “Rumbeng kadi nga ilimedko kenni Abraham ti maipanggep iti ngannganin nga aramidek,
18 Abraham’s descendants [MTY] will become a great and powerful nation. And people of [MTY] all nations will be blessed because of what I do for him.
idinto a pudno nga agbalinto ni Abraham a naindaklan ken nabileg a nasion, ken mabendisionanto amin dagiti nasion iti daga kenkuana?
19 I have chosen him in order that he will teach his children and their families to obey me and do what is right and fair, and then I will do for Abraham what I promised.”
Ta pinilik isuna tapno mabilinna dagiti annakna ken dagiti sumarsaruno a sangkabalayanna nga agtulnog iti wagas ni Yahweh, nga agaramid ti kinalinteg ken hustisia, tapno mabalin a tungpalen ni Yahweh kenni Abraham ti imbagana kenkuana.”
20 So Yahweh said to Abraham, “I have heard the terrible things that have been said about the people of [MTY] Sodom and Gomorrah. Their sins are very great.
Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Yahweh, “Gapu ta adu unay dagiti pammabasol a maibusor iti Sodoma ken Gomora, ken gapu ta nalabes unay dagiti basolda,
21 So I will go down now, and I will see if all the terrible things that I have heard are true or not true.”
bumabaak ita sadiay tapno kitaek no dakesda a kas kadagiti dimmanon a pammabasol kaniak. No saan, maammoakto.”
22 Then the two men turned and started walking toward Sodom. But Yahweh remained, standing in front of Abraham.
Pimmanaw ngarud dagiti lallaki manipud sadiay, ket nagturongda idiay Sodoma. Ngem nagtalinaed a nakatakder ni Abraham iti sangoanan ni Yahweh.
23 Abraham came closer to him and said, “Will you really destroy righteous people along with wicked ones?
Ket immasideg ni Abraham ket kinunana, “Iramanmo kadi a pukawen dagiti nalinteg kadagiti nadangkes?
24 What will you do if there are only 50 righteous people in the city? Will you really get rid of them all, and not spare the place/city for the sake of the 50 righteous people who are in the city?
Nalabit nga adda limapulo a nalinteg iti uneg ti siudad. Pukawemto kadi daytoy ket saanmo a kaasian ti lugar gapu kadagiti limapulo a nalinteg nga adda sadiay?
25 It would certainly not be right for you to do such a thing, to kill righteous people along with wicked ones, and treat righteous people and wicked people the same way. You could not do that, because you, who are the judge of everyone on the earth, will certainly do what is right [regarding the people of Sodom]!” [RHQ]
Sapay koma ta saanmo nga aramiden ti kasta a banag, nga iraman mo a papatayen dagiti nalinteg kadagiti nadangkes, ket matrato dagiti nalinteg a kas kadagiti nadangkes. Adayo koma nga aramidem iti kasta! Saan kadi a ti Ukom iti entero a daga ket agaramid iti nainkalintegan?”
26 Yahweh replied, “If I find 50 righteous people in Sodom, I will spare the whole place/city for their sake.”
Kinuna ni Yahweh, “No makasarakak iti limapulo a nalinteg iti uneg ti siudad ti Sodoma, kaasiakto ti entero a lugar gapu kadakuada.”
27 Abraham replied, “I should not be bold like this and speak to you, God, because I am as worthless as dust and ashes [MET].
Simmungbat ni Abraham a kinunana, “Kitaem ti inaramidko, a naturedak a nagsao iti Apok, uray no maysaak laeng a tapok ken dapo!
28 But what will you do if there are only 45 righteous people? Will you destroy everyone in the whole city because there are only 45 and not 50 righteous people?” Yahweh replied, “I will not destroy it if I find that there are 45 righteous people.”
No ngay adda iti nakurang iti lima a limapulo a nalinteg? Dadaelem kadi ti sibubukel a siudad no kurang iti lima?” Ket kinunana, “Saankonto a dadaelen daytoy, no adda masarakak idiay nga uppat a pulo ket lima.”
29 Abraham continued to speak to him [like this], saying, “What will you do if you find that there are only 40 righteous people there?” Yahweh replied, “I will not destroy them all, for the sake of the 40.”
Ngem nakisarita pay isuna kenkuana, a kinunana, “No ngay adda masarakan nga uppat a pulo sadiay?” Insungbatna, “Saanko nga aramiden daytoy maigapu iti uppat a pulo.”
30 Abraham said, “God, please don’t be angry now. Let me speak again. What will you do if there are only 30 righteous people?” He replied, “I will not do it if I find that there are 30 there.”
Kinunana, “Pangngaasim Apo ta saanka nga agunget, ta agsaoak. Nalabit nga addanto masarakan a tallopulo sadiay.” Insungbatna, “Saanko nga aramiden daytoy, no adda masarakak a tallopulo sadiay.”
31 Abraham said, “I should not be bold and speak to you like this, God. But what will you do if you find that there are only 20 righteous people there?” He replied, “I will not destroy the whole city, for the sake of those 20.”
Kinunana, “Dispensarem koma ti turedko nga agsao iti Apok! Nalabit nga addanto masarakan a duapulo sadiay.” Insungbatna, “Saanko a dadaelen daytoy maigapu iti duapulo.”
32 Abraham said, “God, don’t be angry now. Just let me speak one time more. What will you do if you find that there are only ten righteous people there?” Yahweh answered, “I will not destroy the city for the sake of those ten.”
Kamauddiananna kinunana, “Pangngaasim Apo ta saanka nga agunget, ta agsaoak iti daytoy maudi a gundaway. Nalabit nga addanto iti sangapulo masarakan sadiay.” Ket kinunana, “Saankonto a dadaelen daytoy maigapu iti sangapulo.”
33 Abraham said no more, and as soon as Yahweh finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home.
Napan ni Yahweh iti dalanna apaman a nalpas a nakitungtong kenni Abraham, ket nagawid met ni Abraham.
