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.
Un Tas Kungs viņam parādījās pie Mamres ozoliem, kad viņš sēdēja sava nama durvīs, ap dienas karstumu.
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,
Un viņš pacēla savas acis un skatījās, un redzi, trīs vīri stāvēja viņa priekšā.
3 and said [to one of them], “Sir, if you are pleased with me, stay here for a little while [LIT].
Un tos ieraudzījis viņš tiem tecēja pretī no dzīvokļa durvīm un nometās pie zemes un sacīja: Kungs, ja es esmu žēlastību atradis Tavās acīs, tad lūdzams neej garām Savam kalpam.
4 Allow my servants to bring a little water and wash your feet, and rest under this tree.
Lai atnes drusciņ ūdens, un mazgājiet savas kājas un apmetaties apakš šī koka.
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.”
Un es dabūšu kādu kumosu maizes, ka jūs atspirdzināt savu sirdi; pēc varat iet; jo tāpēc jūs esat pie sava kalpa nākuši. Un tie sacīja: dari, kā tu esi sacījis.
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!”
Un Ābrahāms traucās dzīvoklī pie Sāras un sacīja: steidzies, ņem sijātu miltu trīs mērus, samīci un cep karašas.
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.
Un Ābrāams notecēja pie lopiem un ņēma vienu mīkstu un labu teļu un deva to puisim, un tas steidzās to sataisīt.
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.
Un viņš ņēma sviestu un pienu un to teļu, ko bija sataisījis, un cēla tiem priekšā un stāvēja pats pie tiem apakš tā koka, un tie ēda.
9 [One of] them asked him, “Where is Sarah, your wife?” He replied, “She is in the tent.”
Tad tie uz viņu sacīja: kur ir Sāra, tava sieva? Un viņš sacīja: redzi, iekšā dzīvoklī.
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.
Un tas sacīja: nāktin Es atnākšu pie tevis ap šo laiku nākamā gadā; un redzi, Sārai, tavai sievai, būs dēls. Un Sāra to dzirdēja dzīvokļa durvīs; jo tās bija aiz viņa.
11 Abraham and Sarah were very old, and Sarah was far past the time of when she could bear children.
Bet Ābrahāms un Sāra bija veci un daudz dienas piedzīvojuši, un pie Sāras vairs nebija, kā sievām mēdz būt.
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]
Tad Sāra pati pie sevis smējās sacīdama: vai tad man izdēdējušai būs kārība, un mans kungs ir vecīgs?
13 Yahweh said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? Why was she thinking, ‘I am too old, so how can I bear a child?’
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Ābrahāmu: kam Sāra smējusies par to sacīdama: vai es tiešām dzemdēšu, veca būdama?
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.”
Vai tad kāda lieta Tam Kungam neiespējama? Noliktā laikā Es atnākšu pie tevis nākamā gadā, tad Sārai būs dēls.
15 Then Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, “I did not laugh.” But Yahweh said, “Don’t deny it! You did laugh.”
Un Sāra liedzās sacīdama: es neesmu smējusies. Jo tai bija bail. Bet Viņš sacīja: nē, tu esi gan smējusies.
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.
Tad tie vīri no turienes cēlās un griezās uz Sodomu. Un Ābrahāms gāja tiem līdz, tos pavadīdams.
17 Yahweh thought to himself, “It is not right for me to prevent Abraham from knowing what I plan to do [RHQ].
Un Tas Kungs sacīja: vai man būs slēpt Ābrahāmam, ko gribu darīt?
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.
Jo Ābrahāms būs par lielu un varenu tautu, un iekš viņa visi ļaudis virs zemes taps svētīti.
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.”
Jo Es to esmu atzinis, lai viņš saviem bērniem un savam namam pēc sevis pavēl sargāt Tā Kunga ceļu, darot, kas taisnība un kas tiesa, ka Tas Kungs liktu nākt uz Ābrahāmu, ko Viņš tam runājis.
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.
Un Tas Kungs sacīja: liela brēkšana ir par Sodomu un Gomoru, un viņu grēki ļoti grūti.
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.”
Tad nu Es noiešu un lūkošu, vai tie visnotaļ ir darījuši pēc tās brēkšanas, kas Manā priekšā nākusi, vai ne; to Es gribu zināt.
22 Then the two men turned and started walking toward Sodom. But Yahweh remained, standing in front of Abraham.
Un tie vīri griezās no turienes un gāja uz Sodomu; bet Ābrahāms stāvēja vēl Tā Kunga priekšā.
23 Abraham came closer to him and said, “Will you really destroy righteous people along with wicked ones?
Un Ābrahāms piegāja un sacīja: vai Tu samaitāsi taisno ar bezdievīgo?
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?
Varbūt, ka piecdesmit taisni tai pilsētā, vai Tu tos samaitāsi un to vietu nežēlosi to piecdesmit taisno dēļ, kas viņu starpā?
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]
Ne mūžam Tu tā nedarīsi, nonāvēdams taisno līdz ar bezdievīgo, ka taisnais būtu tā kā bezdievīgais; ne mūžam! - vai visas pasaules soģis nedarīs taisni?
26 Yahweh replied, “If I find 50 righteous people in Sodom, I will spare the whole place/city for their sake.”
Tad Tas Kungs sacīja: ja Es Sodomas pilsētā atradīšu piecdesmit taisnus, tad Es žēlošu visu to vietu viņu labad.
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].
Un Ābrahāms atbildēja un sacīja: redzi jel, es esmu iedrošinājies ar To Kungu runāt, jebšu es esmu pīšļi un pelni.
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.”
Ja tur piecu trūktu no tiem piecdesmit taisniem, vai šo piecu dēļ Tu samaitātu visu to pilsētu? Un Viņš sacīja: Es to nesamaitāšu, ja tur atradīšu četrdesmit un piecus.
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.”
Tad tas joprojām runāja uz Viņu un sacīja: ja tur atrastos četrdesmit? Un Viņš sacīja: Es nekā nedarīšu to četrdesmit labad.
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.”
Un tas sacīja: neapskaities, Kungs, lūdzams, ka es vēl runāju: ja tur atrastos trīsdesmit? Un Viņš sacīja: Es to nedarīšu, ja atradīšu trīsdesmit.
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.”
Un tas sacīja: redzi jel, es esmu iedrošinājies uz To Kungu runāt: ja tur atrastos divdesmit? Un Viņš sacīja: Es nesamaitāšu to divdesmit labad.
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.”
Un tas sacīja: neapskaities, Kungs, lūdzams, ka es vēl vienreiz runāju, - ja tur atrastos desmit? Un Viņš sacīja: Es nesamaitāšu to desmit labad.
33 Abraham said no more, and as soon as Yahweh finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home.
Tad Tas Kungs aizgāja, kad bija beidzis uz Ābrahāmu runāt, un Ābrahāms griezās atpakaļ uz savu vietu.
