¹And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

¹Nak ac xnumeß cuaßleb, laj Abraham chunchu chire lix muhebâl saß li naßajej ji ru. Eb li cheß ji, aßan re laj Mamre. Quicuulac li Kâcuaß Dios riqßuin. Joßcaßin nak quixcßutbesi rib li Dios chiru laj Abraham.

²And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

²Laj Abraham quiril nak xakâmileb oxibeb li cuînk chiru. Saß junpât qui-el chixcßulbaleb. Quixcuikßib rib ut quixxulub lix jolom saß chßochß, ut quixye:

³And said, My LORD, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:

³—At Kâcuaß, chan laj Abraham, —tâbânu usilal, matxic cuan chi junpât.

⁴Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:

⁴Tintakla xcßambal caßchßinak li haß re têchßaj lê rok. Chexhilânk rubel xmu li cheß.

⁵And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.

⁵Xban nak xexcßulun cuiqßuin, tincßam chak caßchßinak lê tzacaêmk re nak sahak saß lê chßôl nak texxic, chan laj Abraham. Ut eb aßan queßchakßoc ut queßxye re: —Us, bantiox âcue.

⁶And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.

⁶Laj Abraham qui-oc saß lix muhebâl ut quixye re lix Sara: —Sêba âcuib. Chap oxib bis li cßaj li châbil ut tâyîb li caxlan cua, chan.

⁷And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.

⁷Laj Abraham cô saß junpât cuanqueb cuiß lix quetômk. Quixchap jun li cuacax châbil ut toj al. Quixqßue li xul re lix môs re nak tixcßûb chak chi châbil.

⁸And 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.

⁸Quixcßam li cßûbanbil tib chokß reheb li rulaß. Quixcßam ajcuiß li queso ut li leche. Ut laj Abraham quixqßue xchßôl chixjecßbaleb xtzacaêmkeb li rulaß nak yôqueb chi cuaßac rubel xmu li cheß.

⁹And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.

⁹Nak queßrakeß chi cuaßac li rulaß, queßxpatzß re laj Abraham, —¿Bar cuan lix Sara lâ cuixakil?— Laj Abraham quixye reheb, —Cuan saß cab, chan.

¹⁰And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.

¹⁰Ut jun li cuan saß xyânkeb li oxib quixye re: —Tolinêlk cuißchic saß li chihab jun châcuilbal. Ut lix Sara ac cuânk chic junak xcßulaßal têlom, chan re laj Abraham. Lix Sara cuan saß cab ut quirabi li cßaßru yôqueb chixyebal.

¹¹Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

¹¹Laj Abraham ut lix Sara ac tîxeb chic. Lix Sara ac xnumeß xkßehil nak tâcuânk xcocßal.

¹²Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?

¹²Xban aßan lix Sara quiseßec saß xchßôl ut quixye: —¿Chanru nak tâcuânk li saylal aßin? Lin bêlom ut lâin ac xotîx chi us, chan saß xchßôl.

¹³And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?

¹³Ut li Kâcuaß Dios quixye re laj Abraham: —¿Cßaßut nak xseßec lix Sara? ¿Cßaßut nak incßaß naxpâb nak tâcuânk junak lix cßulaßal saß xtîxilal?

¹⁴Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

¹⁴Lâin li Kâcuaß Dios. Mâcßaß chßaßaj chicuu. Chiru li chihab jun chic tinsukßîk chak châcuilbal ut lix Sara ac cuânk chic jun lix cßulaßal chßina têlom, chan li Kâcuaß Dios.

¹⁵Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.

¹⁵Ut lix Sara quixucuac nak quirabi li âtin aßan ut quixye: —Lâin incßaß xinseßec, chan. Ut li Kâcuaß quixye, —Lâin ninnau nak xatseßec, chan.

¹⁶And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.

¹⁶Chirix chic aßan li oxibeb chi cuînk queßxakli ut queßoc chi xic saß li tenamit Sodoma. Laj Abraham cô chirixeb re xchakßrabinquileb.

¹⁷And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

¹⁷Tojoßnak li Kâcuaß Dios quixye saß xchßôl: —Incßaß tinmuk chiru laj Abraham li cßaßru tinbânu.

¹⁸Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

¹⁸Laj Abraham, aßan li tâoc chokß xxeßtônil yucuaßeb li qßuila tenamit ut eb aßan nimak xcuanquileb. Chixjunileb li tenamit saß ruchichßochß teßxcßul li usilal saß xcßabaß laj Abraham.

¹⁹For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

¹⁹Ac xinsicß ru re tâcßamok be chiruheb li ralal xcßajol. Aßan tâchßolobânk re xyâlal chiruheb re nak teßxpâb li cuâtin ut teßcuânk saß usilal ut saß tîquilal. Cui teßxbânu aßin, lâin tinbânu chixjunil li cßaßru xinyechißi re laj Abraham, chan li Dios.

²⁰And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

²⁰Ut li Kâcuaß Dios quixye re laj Abraham: —Nabal li cßaßak re ru incßaß us xcuabi chirixeb laj Sodoma ut laj Gomorra. Numtajenakeb lix mâc.

²¹I 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.

²¹Anakcuan xic cue aran ut tincuil ma yâl li cßaßru xcuabi chirixeb re nak tinnau, chan li Kâcuaß Dios.

²²And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.

²²Eb li cuib chi cuînk queßcôeb aran Sodoma. Ut laj Abraham quicana rochben li Kâcuaß Dios.

²³And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

²³Laj Abraham quinachßoc riqßuin li Kâcuaß Dios ut quixye re: —¿Ma tâsach ruheb li tîqueb xchßôl saß xyânkeb li incßaß tîqueb xchßôl?

²⁴Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?

²⁴Mâre cuanqueb mero ciento chi cristian tîqueb xchßôl saß xyânkeb. Cui cuanqueb mero ciento li tîqueb xchßôl, ¿ma incßaß târûk tâcuy xmâqueb li incßaß tîqueb xchßôl? ¿Malaj cuan saß âchßôl nak tâsach chi junaj cua li tenamit aßan? chan.

²⁵That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

²⁵Incßaß naru tâsacheb ru li tîqueb xchßôl joß tâbânu riqßuineb li incßaß tîqueb xchßôl. Ninnau nak lâat incßaß tâbânu aßan xban nak lâat nacatrakoc âtin saß xyâlal saß xbêneb chixjunileb li cuanqueb saß ruchichßochß, chan laj Abraham.

²⁶And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.

²⁶Li Kâcuaß Dios quixye re laj Abraham: —Cui cuanqueb mero ciento li tîqueb xchßôl saß li tenamit Sodoma, saß xcßabaß eb aßan tincuy xmâqueb chixjunileb li cuanqueb aran, chan.

²⁷And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes:

²⁷Ut laj Abraham quixye cuißchic re li Kâcuaß: —Chacuy inmâc nak tinâtinak cuißchic âcuiqßuin chi joßcaßin. Lâat li Kâcuaß Dios ut lâin yal cuînkin.

²⁸Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.

²⁸Cui caßaj cuiß ôb roxcßâl li cristian tîqueb xchßôl cuanqueb saß li tenamit aßan, ¿ma yal xban nak ôb chic târaj li mero ciento nak tâsach ru li tenamit? chan laj Abraham. Ut li Kâcuaß Dios quixye re: —Cui cuanqueb ôb roxcßâl li cristian li tîqueb xchßôl, lâin incßaß tinsach ru li tenamit, chan li Dios.

²⁹And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.

²⁹Ut laj Abraham quixpatzß cuißchic re: —Cui caßaj cuiß caßcßâl li tîqueb xchßôl cuanqueb, ¿ma tâsacheb ru? chan. Ut li Dios quixye re, —Saß xcßabaßeb li caßcßâl li tîqueb xchßôl, incßaß tinsach ru li tenamit, chan.

³⁰And he said unto him, 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.

³⁰Laj Abraham quixye cuißchic re li Kâcuaß: —Chacuy inmâc. Us cui incßaß tatjoskßok cuiqßuin xban nak tinpatzßok cuißchic âcue. Mâre caßaj cuiß lajêb xcaßcßâl cuanqueb. ¿Ma tâsacheb ru li tenamit? chan. Ut li Kâcuaß quixye re, —Saß xcßabaßeb li lajêb xcaßcßâl li tîqueb xchßôl, lâin tincuy xmâqueb li tenamit, chan.

³¹And 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 twenty's sake.

³¹Ut quixye cuißchic laj Abraham: —At Kâcuaß, chacuy inmâc. Tinpatzßok cuißchic âcue. Cui junmay ajcuiß li tîqueb xchßôl, ¿ma tâsach ru li tenamit? chan. Ut li Kâcuaß quixye re: —Saß xcßabaßeb li junmay li tîqueb xchßôl, incßaß tinsach ru li tenamit, chan.

³²And 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 ten's sake.

³²Toj quixtzßâma cuißchic xcuybal laj Abraham ut quixye re li Kâcuaß: —Bânu usilal, at Kâcuaß, matjoskßoß cuiqßuin. Caßaj chic anakcuan tinpatzßok âcue ut incßaß chic tatinchßißchßißi. ¿Cßaßru tâbânu cui lajêb ajcuiß li tîqueb xchßôl li cuanqueb saß li tenamit? chan. Ut li Kâcuaß quixye re laj Abraham: —Saß xcßabaßeb li lajêb li tîqueb xchßôl, incßaß tinsach ru li tenamit, chan li Kâcuaß.Nak quirakeß chi âtinac riqßuin laj Abraham, li Kâcuaß Dios qui-el aran. Ut laj Abraham quisukßi cuißchic saß rochoch.

³³And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.

³³Nak quirakeß chi âtinac riqßuin laj Abraham, li Kâcuaß Dios qui-el aran. Ut laj Abraham quisukßi cuißchic saß rochoch.
