1At napakita ang Panginoon sa kaniya sa mga punong encina ni Mamre, habang siya'y nakaupo sa pintuan ng tolda, ng kainitan ng araw. 2At itiningin ang kaniyang mga mata at nagmalas, at, narito't tatlong lalake ay nakatayo sa tabi niya: at pagkakita niya sa kanila, ay tinakbo niya upang sila'y salubungin mula sa pintuan ng tolda, at yumukod siya sa lupa. 3At nagsabi, Panginoon ko, kung ngayo'y nakasumpong ako ng biyaya sa iyong paningin, ay ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo, na huwag mong lagpasan ang iyong lingkod. 4Itulot mong dalhan kayo rito ng kaunting tubig, at maghugas kayo ng inyong mga paa, at mangagpahinga kayo sa lilim ng kahoy. 5At magdadala ako ng isang subong tinapay at inyong palakasin ang inyong puso; at pagkatapos ay magsisipagtuloy kayo: yamang kayo'y naparito sa inyong lingkod, At nagsipagsabi, Mangyari ang ayon sa iyong sinabi. 6At si Abraham ay nagmadaling napasa tolda ni Sara, at sinabi, Maghanda ka agad ng tatlong takal ng mainam na harina, iyong tapayin at gawin mong mga munting tinapay. 7At tumakbo si Abraham sa bakahan at nagdala ng isang bata at mabuting guya, at ibinigay sa alipin; at siya'y nagmadali, upang lutuin. 8At siya'y kumuha ng mantekilla, at ng gatas, at ng guyang niluto niya, at inihain sa harapan nila; at siya'y tumayo sa siping nila sa lilim ng punong kahoy; at sila'y nagsikain. 9At sinabi nila sa kaniya, Saan naroon si Sara na iyong asawa? At sinabi niya Narito, nasa tolda. 10At sinabi niya, Walang salang di ako babalik sa iyo sa ganitong panahon ng taong darating; at narito't si Sara na iyong asawa ay magkakaanak ng isang lalake. At narinig ni Sara sa pintuan ng tolda, na nasa likod niya. 11Si Abraham at si Sara nga'y matatanda na, at lipas na sa panahon; at tinigilan na si Sara ng kaugalian ng mga babae. 12At nagtawa si Sara sa kaniyang sarili, na sinasabi, Pagkatapos na ako'y tumanda ay magtatamo ako ng kaligayahan, at matanda na rin pati ng panginoon ko? 13At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Abraham, Bakit tumawa si Sara, na sinasabi, Tunay kayang ako'y manganganak, na matanda na ako? 14May anomang bagay kayang napakahirap sa Panginoon? Sa tadhanang panahon ay babalik ako sa iyo, sa taong darating, at si Sara ay magkakaanak ng isang lalake. 15Nang magkagayo'y nagkaila si Sara, na sinasabi, Hindi ako tumawa, sapagka't siya'y natakot. Nguni't sinabi niya, Hindi gayon; kundi ikaw ay tumawa. 16At nangagtindig doon ang mga lalake, at nangagsitingin sa dakong Sodoma; at sinamahan sila ni Abraham, upang ihatid sila sa daan. 17At sinabi ng Panginoon, Ililihim ko ba kay Abraham ang aking gagawin; 18Dangang si Abraham ay tunay na magiging isang bansang malaki at matibay, at pagpapalain sa kaniya ang lahat ng bansa sa lupa? 19Sapagka't siya'y aking kinilala, upang siya'y magutos sa kaniyang mga anak at sa kaniyang sangbahayan pagkamatay niya, na maingatan nila ang daan ng Panginoon, na gumawa ng kabanalan, at kahatulan; upang padatnin ng Panginoon, kay Abraham ang kaniyang ipinangako tungkol sa kaniya. 20At sinabi ng Panginoon, Sapagka't ang sigaw ng Sodoma at Gomorra ay malakas, at sapagka't ang kasalanan nila ay napakalubha; 21Ay bababa ako ngayon at titingnan ko kung ginawa nga ang ayon sa sigaw na dumarating hanggang sa akin; at kung hindi ay aking malalaman. 22At ang mga lalake ay nagsilayo roon at nagsitungo sa Sodoma datapuwa't si Abraham ay nakatayo pa sa harapan ng Panginoon. 23At lumapit si Abraham, at nagsabi, Ang mga banal ba ay iyong lilipuling kasama ng mga masama? 24Kung sakaling may limang pung banal sa loob ng bayan: lilipulin mo ba, at di mo patatawarin ang dakong yaon, alangalang sa limang pung banal na nasa loob niyaon? 25Malayo nawa sa iyo ang paggawa ng ganito, na ang banal ay iyong pataying kasama ng masama, anopa't ang banal ay mapara sa masama; malayo nawa ito sa iyo: di ba gagawa ng matuwid ang Hukom ng buong lupa? 26At sinabi ng Panginoon, Kung makasumpong ako sa Sodoma ng limang pung banal sa loob ng bayan, patatawarin ko ang buong dakong yaon, alangalang sa kanila. 27At sumagot si Abraham, at nagsabi, Narito, ngayo'y nangahas akong magsalita sa Panginoon, akong alabok at abo lamang: 28Kung sakaling magkukulang ng lima sa limang pung banal: lilipulin mo ba, dahil sa limang kulang, ang buong bayan? At sinabi niya, Hindi ko lilipulin kung makasumpong ako roon ng apat na pu't lima. 29At siya'y muling nagsalita pa sa kaniya, at nagsabi, Marahil ay may masusumpungang apat na pu. At sinabi niya, Hindi ko gagawin, alangalang sa apat na pu. 30At sinabi niya, Oh huwag magalit ang Panginoon, at ako'y magsasalita: kung sakaling may masusumpungan doong tatlong pu. At sinabi niya, Hindi ko gagawin kung makakasumpong ako roon ng tatlong pu. 31At kaniyang sinabi, Narito ngayon, ako'y nangahas na magsalita sa Panginoon: kung sakaling may masusumpungan doong dalawang pu. At sinabi niya, Hindi ko lilipulin, alangalang sa dalawang pu. 32At sinabi niya, Oh huwag magalit ang Panginoon at magsasalita na lamang akong minsan: kung sakaling may masusumpungan doong sangpu: at sinabi niya, Hindi ko lilipulin, alangalang sa sangpu. 33At ang Panginoon ay nagpatuloy, pagkatapos na makipagusap kay Abraham: at si Abraham ay nagbalik sa kaniyang dako.
1Yahweh appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day. 2He lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw that three men stood opposite him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth, 3and said, “My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please don’t go away from your servant. 4Now let a little water be fetched, wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. 5I will get a morsel of bread so you can refresh your heart. After that you may go your way, now that you have come to your servant.” They said, “Very well, do as you have said.” 6Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Quickly prepare three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.” 7Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress it. 8He took butter, milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them. He stood by them under the tree, and they ate. 9They asked him, “Where is Sarah, your wife?” He said, “See, in the tent.” 10He said, “I will certainly return to you when the season comes round. Behold, Sarah your wife will have a son.” Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him. 11Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. Sarah had passed the age of childbearing. 12Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?” 13Yahweh said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Will I really bear a child, yet I am old?’ 14Is anything too hard for Yahweh? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes round, and Sarah will have a son.” 15Then Sarah denied, saying, “I didn’t laugh,” for she was afraid. He said, “No, but you did laugh.” 16The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way. 17Yahweh said, “Will I hide from Abraham what I do, 18since Abraham has surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him? 19For 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 Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Yahweh may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him.” 20Yahweh said, “Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous, 21I will go down now, and see whether their deeds are as bad as the reports which have come to me. If not, I will know.” 22The men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham stood yet before Yahweh. 23Abraham drew near, and said, “Will you consume the righteous with the wicked? 24What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it? 25Be it far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn’t the Judge of all the earth do right?” 26Yahweh said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake.” 27Abraham answered, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, who am but dust and ashes. 28What if there will lack five of the fifty righteous? Will you destroy all the city for lack of five?” He said, “I will not destroy it, if I find forty-five there.” 29He spoke to him yet again, and said, “What if there are forty found there?” He said, “I will not do it for the forty’s sake.” 30He said, “Oh don’t let the Lord be angry, and I will speak. What if there are thirty found there?” He said, “I will not do it, if I find thirty there.” 31He said, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord. What if there are twenty found there?” He said, “I will not destroy it for the twenty’s sake.” 32He said, “Oh don’t let the Lord be angry, and I will speak just once more. What if ten are found there?” He said, “I will not destroy it for the ten’s sake.” 33Yahweh went his way, as soon as he had finished communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
1Daarna verscheen hem de HEERE aan de eikenbossen van Mamre, als hij in de deur der tent zat, toen de dag heet werd. 2En hij hief zijn ogen op en zag; en ziet, daar stonden drie mannen tegenover hem; als hij hen zag, zo liep hij hun tegemoet van de deur der tent, en boog zich ter aarde. 3En hij zeide: Heere! heb ik nu genade gevonden in Uw ogen, zo gaat toch niet aan Uw knecht voorbij. 4Dat toch een weinig waters gebracht worde, en wast Uw voeten, en leunt onder dezen boom. 5En ik zal een bete broods langen, dat Gij Uw hart sterkt; daarna zult Gij voortgaan, daarom omdat Gij tot Uw knecht overgekomen zijt. En zij zeiden: Doe zo als gij gesproken hebt. 6En Abraham haastte zich naar de tent tot Sara, en hij zeide: Haast u; kneed drie maten meelbloem, en maak koeken. 7En Abraham liep tot de runderen, en hij nam een kalf, teder en goed, en hij gaf het aan den knecht, die haastte, om dat toe te maken. 8En hij nam boter en melk, en het kalf, dat hij toegemaakt had, en hij zette het hun voor, en stond bij hen onder dien boom, en zij aten. 9Toen zeiden zij tot hem: Waar is Sara, uw huisvrouw? En hij zeide: Ziet, in de tent. 10En Hij zeide: Ik zal voorzeker weder tot u komen, omtrent dezen tijd des levens; en zie, Sara, uw huisvrouw, zal een zoon hebben! En Sara hoorde het aan de deur der tent, welke achter Hem was. 11Abraham nu en Sara waren oud, en wel bedaagd; het had Sara opgehouden te gaan naar de wijze der vrouwen. 12Zo lachte Sara bij zichzelve, zeggende: Zal ik wellust hebben, nadat ik oud geworden ben, en mijn heer oud is? 13En de HEERE zeide tot Abraham: Waarom heeft Sara gelachen, zeggende: Zou ik ook waarlijk baren, nu ik oud geworden ben? 14Zou iets voor den HEERE te wonderlijk zijn? Ter gezetter tijd zal Ik tot u wederkomen, omtrent dezen tijd des levens, en Sara zal een zoon hebben! 15En Sara loochende het, zeggende: Ik heb niet gelachen; want zij vreesde. En Hij zeide: Neen! maar gij hebt gelachen. 16Toen stonden die mannen op van daar, en zagen naar Sodom toe; en Abraham ging met hen, om hen te geleiden. 17En de HEERE zeide: Zal Ik voor Abraham verbergen, wat Ik doe? 18Dewijl Abraham gewisselijk tot een groot en machtig volk worden zal, en alle volken der aarde in hem gezegend zullen worden? 19Want Ik heb hem gekend, opdat hij zijn kinderen en zijn huis na hem zoude bevelen, en zij den weg des HEEREN houden, om te doen gerechtigheid en gerichte; opdat de HEERE over Abraham brenge, hetgeen Hij over hem gesproken heeft. 20Voorts zeide de HEERE: Dewijl het geroep van Sodom en Gomorra groot is, en dewijl haar zonde zeer zwaar is, 21Zal Ik nu afgaan en bezien, of zij naar hun geroep, dat tot Mij gekomen is, het uiterste gedaan hebben, en zo niet, Ik zal het weten. 22Toen keerden die mannen het aangezicht van daar, en gingen naar Sodom; maar Abraham bleef nog staande voor het aangezicht des HEEREN. 23En Abraham trad toe, en zeide: Zult Gij ook den rechtvaardige met den goddeloze ombrengen? 24Misschien zijn er vijftig rechtvaardigen in de stad; zult Gij hen ook ombrengen, en de plaats niet sparen, om de vijftig rechtvaardigen, die binnen haar zijn? 25Het zij verre van U, zulk een ding te doen, te doden den rechtvaardige met den goddeloze! dat de rechtvaardige zij gelijk de goddeloze, verre zij het van U! zou de Rechter der ganse aarde geen recht doen? 26Toen zeide de HEERE: Zo Ik te Sodom binnen de stad vijftig rechtvaardigen zal vinden, zo zal Ik de ganse plaats sparen om hunnentwil. 27En Abraham antwoordde en zeide: Zie toch; ik heb mij onderwonden te spreken tot den Heere, hoewel ik stof en as ben! 28Misschien zullen aan de vijftig rechtvaardigen vijf ontbreken; zult Gij dan om vijf de ganse stad verderven? En Hij zeide: Ik zal haar niet verderven, zo Ik er vijf en veertig zal vinden. 29En hij voer voort nog tot Hem te spreken, en zeide: Misschien zullen aldaar veertig gevonden worden! En Hij zeide: Ik zal het niet doen om der veertigen wil. 30Voorts zeide hij: Dat toch de Heere niet ontsteke, dat ik spreke; misschien zullen aldaar dertig gevonden worden! En Hij zeide: Ik zal het niet doen, zo Ik aldaar dertig zal vinden. 31En hij zeide: Zie toch, ik heb mij onderwonden te spreken tot de Heere; misschien zullen er twintig gevonden worden! En Hij zeide: Ik zal haar niet verderven om der twintigen wil. 32Nog zeide hij: Dat toch de Heere niet ontsteke, dat ik alleenlijk ditmaal spreke: misschien zullen er tien gevonden worden. En Hij zeide: Ik zal haar niet verderven om der tienen wil. 33Toen ging de HEERE weg, als Hij geeindigd had tot Abraham te spreken; en Abraham keerde weder naar zijn plaats.
