Kinohi 18
1 I KEA ae la o Iehova e ia ma na laau oka o Mamere: a noho iho la ia ma ka puka o ka halelewa, i ka manawa i wela mai ai ka la.
And the Lord appeared unto him in the grove of Mamre; while he was sitting at the door of the tent in the heat of the day.
2 Alawa ae la kona mau maka iluna, ike ae la, aia hoi, ku mai la na kanaka ekolu imua ona: a i kona ike ana aku, holo aku la ia mai ka puka o ka halelewa aku e halawai me lakou, a kulou iho la ia ma ka honua.
And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo, three men stood near him; and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the door of the tent, and bowed himself to the ground;
3 I aku la ia, E kuu haku, ina i loaa ia'u ke alohaia imua o kou mau maka, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, mai hele wale aku oe mai kau kauwa aku.
And he said, My Lord, if now I have found favor in thy eyes, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.
4 Ke noi aku nei au, i laweia mai kekahi wai iki e holoi i ko oukou mau wawae, a e hoomaha iho oukou malalo o ka laau.
Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
5 E lawe mai no hoi au i wahi berena, a e hooluolu iho i ko oukou naau; a mahope iho oukou e hele aku ai; no ka mea, nolaila ko oukou hele ana mai i ko oukou kauwa, I mai la lakou. Me kau i olelo mai ai, pela oe e hana'i.
And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your heart, after that ye may pass on; since ye have once passed by your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast spoken.
6 Wikiwiki ae la o Aberahama i ka hele iloko o ka halelewa io Sara la, i aku la, E hoomakaukau koke oe i ekolu sato palaoa wali; e hookawili a e pulehu i papaberena.
And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.
7 Holo aku la o Aberahama i ka ohana bipi, lalau aku la i ka bipikeiki opiopio momona, haawi aku la i kekahi keiki, a wikiwiki iho la ia e kalua.
And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man, and he hastened to dress it.
8 Lalau aku ia i wahi bata a me ka waiu, a me ka bipikeiki ana i kalua ai, a kau aku la imua o lakou: a ku aku la ia ma o lakou la malalo o ka laau; a ai iho la lakou.
And he took cream 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.
9 Ninau mai la lakou ia ia, Auhea kau wahine, o Sara? I aku la ia, aia no iloko o ka halelewa.
And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife! And he said, Behold, in the tent.
10 Alaila, i mai la kela, Ho oiaio, e hoi hou mai ana au i keia manawa o kela makahiki, aia hoi, e loaa uanei ia Sara he keikikane. A lohe ae la o Sara ma ka puka o ka halelewa ma kona kua.
And he said, I will certainly return unto thee at this time next year: and lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it at the door of the tent, which was behind him.
11 A o Aberahama laua o Sara, ua kahiko no laua, he nui ko laua mau la; a ua pau ia Sara ka mea a na wahine.
Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in years; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
12 Nolaila, akaaka iho la o Sara iloko iho ona, i iho la, E olioli no anei au mahope o kuu wa luwahine, a ua elemakule hoi kuu haku?
Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord also being old!
13 Ninau mai la o Iehova ia Aberahama, No ko aha la i akaaka ai o Sara, i ka i ana, He oiaio anei, o hanau no wau i keiki i kuu wa luwahine?
And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, since I am old?
14 E hakalia anei kekahi mea ia Iehova? I ka wa i oleloia'i e hoi hou mai ana au i ou la, i keia manawa o kela makahiki, a e loaa ia Sara he keikikane.
Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, at this time next year, and Sarah shall have a son.
15 Alaila hoole aku la o Sara, i aku la, Aole au i akaaka; no ka mea, makau iho la ia. I mai la kela, Aole, ua akaaka no oe.
Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid; but he said, Nay; indeed thou didst laugh.
16 Ku ae la ua mau kanaka la, nana aku la ma Sodoma; a hele pu o Aberahama me lakou e hookuu aku ia lakou.
And the men rose up from there and looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 I ae la o Iehova, E huna anei au ia Aberahama i ka'u mea e hana nei?
And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about doing?
18 No ka mea, e lilo io no auanei o Aberahama i lahuikanaka nui a ikaika hoi, a e pomaikai hoi na lahuikanaka a pau o ka honua ia ia.
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
19 No ka mea, ke ike nei au ia ia, e kauoha aku no ia i kana poe keiki a me kona mau ohua mahope ona, i malama mai ai lakou i ka aoao o Iehova, a e hana lakou ma ka pono a me ka pololei; i hooili aku ai o Iehova maluna o Aberahama i ka mea ana i olelo ai nona.
For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, that they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do righteousness and justice; in order that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken concerning him.
20 Olelo mai la o Iehova, Ua nui loa ka leo no Sodoma a me Gomora, ua kaumaha no hoi ko lakou hewa;
And the Lord said, Because the cry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous:
21 E iho ana au ilaila e ike, i like paha ka lakou hana ana me ka leo no ia wahi i hiki mai ai io'u nei; a i ole paha, o ike auanei hoi au.
I will go down now, and see if they have done according to the cry against them, which is come unto me, destruction [shall come upon them]; and if not, I will know it.
22 Huli ae la ua mau kanaka la i na maka o laua mailaila aku, a hele aku la i Sodoma: aka, ku iho la o Aberahama imua o Iehova.
And the men turned their faces from there, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham stood yet before the Lord.
23 Neenee aku la o Aberahama a kokoke, i aku la, E luku pu anei oe i ka poe pono me ka poe hewa?
And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou then destroy the righteous also with the wicked?
24 Ina paha he kanalima na kanaka pono maloko o ua kulanakauhale la, e luku anei oe ia wahi, aole no o malama ia wahi no ka poe pono he kanalima maloko?
Peradventure there are fifty righteous within the city; wilt thou then also destroy and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous that are therein?
25 Aole loa oe e hana pela, ke pepehi pu i ka poe pono me ka poe hewa: i like pu ai ka poe pono me ka poe hewa, aole loa oe pela: aole anei o hana pono ka lunakanawai o ka honua a pau?
Far be it from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, and that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be this from thee; shall the Judge of all the earth not exercise justice?
26 I mai la o Iehova, Ina loaa ia'u ma Sodoma na kanaka pono he kanalima maloko o ke kulanakauhale, alaila au e malama ai ia wahi a pau no lakou.
And the Lord said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then will I spare all of the place for their sake.
27 Olelo aku la o Aberahama, i aku la, Eia hoi, ua hoomaka no wau e olelo aku i ka Haku, owau he lepo wale no, a me ka lehu:
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, although I am but dust and ashes:
28 A i emi mai na mea elima o ka poe pono he kanalima; e luku anei oe ia kulanakauhale a pau no ia mau mea elima? I mai ia kela, A i loaa ia'u ilaila he kanaha a me kumamalima, aole au e luku aku.
Peradventure there will lack five of the fifty righteous; wilt thou then destroy all the city for the [lack of] these five? And he said, I will not destroy, if I find there forty and five.
29 Olelo hou aku la oia ia ia, i aku la, Ina paha he kanaha ka poe i loaa ilaila? i mai la kela, Aole au o hana aku ia mea, ke kanaha lakou.
And he spoke yet again unto him, and said, Peradventure there will be found there forty. And he said, I will not do it for the sake of the forty.
30 I aku la hoi oia, Ea, a i huhu ole mai ka Haku, e olelo aku no au: Ina paha he kanakolu ka poe i loaa ilaila? I mai la kela, Aole au e hana ia mea, ke loaa ia'u he kanakolu ilaila.
And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there will be found there thirty. And he said, I will not do it, if I find there thirty.
31 I aku la oia, Aia hoi, na hoomaka iho nei au e olelo aku i ka Haku: Ina paha ho iwakalua ka poe i loaa ilaila? I mai la kola, aole au o luku aku, ko iwakalua lakou.
And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there will be found there twenty. And he said, I will not destroy for the sake of the twenty.
32 I aku la hoi oia, A i ole e huhu mai ka Haku, a hookahi wale no a'u olelo e koe: Ina paha he umi ka poe i loaa ilaila? I mai la kela, Aole au e luku aku, ke umi lakou.
And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure there will be found there ten. And he said, I will not destroy, for the sake of the ten.
33 A pau ae la ka Iehova kamailio ana mo Aberahama, hele aku la o Iehova; a hoi hou mai la o Aberahama i kona wahi.
And the Lord went away, when he had finished speaking with Abraham; and Abraham returned unto his place.
