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

¹Potom sa mu ukázal Hospodin v dúbrave Mamreho, keď sedel pri dveriach stánu za horúčavy dňa.

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,

²A keď pozdvihol svoje oči, videl a hľa, traja mužovia stáli naproti nemu. A keď ich uvidel, bežal im v ústrety odo dverí stánu a poklonil sa k zemi.

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

³A povedal: Môj Pane, ak som našiel milosť v tvojich očiach, prosím, neobídi svojho služobníka!

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

⁴Dovoľ, prosím, nech sa donesie trochu vody, a umyte svoje nohy a oprite sa pod stromom.

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.

⁵A donesiem kúsok chleba, a posilnite svoje srdce; potom pojdete ďalej, lebo veď práve preto aj idete popri svojom služobníkovi. A riekli: Učiň tak, ako si povedal.

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.

⁶Vtedy sa ponáhľal Abrahám do stánu k Sáre a povedal: Vezmi rýchle tri saty jemnej bielej múky, zamies a sprav koláče.

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.

⁷Potom bežal Abrahám k stádu rožného dobytka a vzal útle teľa dobré a dal sluhovi, ktorý sa ponáhľal, aby ho pripravil.

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.

⁸A tak vzal masla, mlieka a teľa, ktoré pripravil, a položil to pred nich a sám stál pri nich pod stromom, a jedli.

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

⁹A riekli mu: Kde je Sára, tvoja žena? A on povedal: Hľa, v stáne je.

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.

¹⁰A riekol: Istotne sa navrátim k tebe podľa času života, a hľa, Sára, tvoja žena, bude mať syna. A Sára počúvala pri dveriach stánu, ktoré boly za ním.

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

¹¹A Abrahám a Sára boli starí, pošlí vekom. Sáre už bolo prestalo byť, ako bývalo ženám.

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

¹²Preto sa smiala Sára sama v sebe a riekla: Či keď som sa už zostarela, bude mi rozkoš? A môj pán je tiež už starý.

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

¹³A Hospodin riekol Abrahámovi: Prečo sa smiala Sára a riekla: Či ozaj porodím ja, ktorá som už stará?

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.

¹⁴Či je azda nejaká vec nemožnou Hospodinovi? Na určený čas zase sa navrátim k tebe podľa času života, a Sára bude mať syna.

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

¹⁵A Sára zaprela a riekla: Nesmiala som sa; lebo sa bála. Ale Hospodin riekol: Nie, ale smiala si sa.

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

¹⁶Potom vstali mužovia odtiaľ a obrátili svoju tvár k Sodome. A Abrahám išiel s nimi, aby ich odprevadil.

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

¹⁷A Hospodin riekol: Či budem tajiť pred Abrahámom, čo učiním,

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

¹⁸keďže Abrahám istotne bude veľkým národom a mocným, a budú v ňom požehnané všetky národy zeme?!

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.

¹⁹Lebo ho znám, pretože prikáže svojim synom a svojmu domu po sebe, a tak budú ostríhať cestu Hospodinovu činiac spravedlivosť a súd, aby Hospodin uviedol na Abraháma to, čo hovoril o ňom.

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

²⁰Vtedy riekol Hospodin: Krik Sodomy a Gomory je veľký, a ich hriech je veľmi ťažký.

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.

²¹Preto nech sostúpim ta a uvidím, či vykonali všetko tak podľa jej kriku, ktorý prišiel ku mne, a jestli nie, tedy zviem.

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

²²A mužovia obrátiac sa odtiaľ išli do Sodomy. Ale Abrahám stál ešte vždy pred Hospodinom.

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

²³A Abrahám pristúpil a povedal: Či azda zahladíš spravedlivého s bezbožným?

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

²⁴Snáď je päťdesiat spravedlivých v tom meste, či predsa len zahladíš a neodpustíš miestu pre päťdesiatich spravedlivých, ktorí sú v ňom?

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?

²⁵Kdeže by si učinil takú vec, aby si usmrtil spravedlivého s bezbožným, a aby bol spravedlivý zrovna taký jako bezbožný! Nech je to preč od teba! Či azda sudca celej zeme neučiní súdu?

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

²⁶A Hospodin riekol: Ak najdem v Sodome päťdesiat spravedlivých, v tom meste, odpustím pre nich celému tomu miestu.

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

²⁷A Abrahám odpovedal a riekol: Hľa, prosím, podujal som sa hovoriť svojmu Pánovi, kým som ja prach a popol.

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.

²⁸Snáď chýbajú do tých päťdesiatich spravedlivých piati; či zkazíš pre tých piatich celé to mesto? A riekol: Nezkazím, jestli tam najdem štyridsaťpäť.

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.

²⁹A ešte mu hovoril Abrahám a riekol: Snáď sa tam najdú štyridsiati. - A riekol: Neučiním pre tých štyridsiatich.

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.

³⁰A zase povedal Abrahám: Prosím, nech sa nehnevá môj Pán, že budem ešte hovoriť: Snáď sa tam najdú tridsiati. - A riekol: Neučiním, jestli tam najdem tridsiatich.

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.

³¹A zase povedal: Hľa, prosím, podujal som sa hovoriť svojmu Pánovi. Snáď sa tam najdú dvadsiati. - A riekol: Nezkazím pre tých dvadsiatich.

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.

³²A ešte povedal: Prosím, nech sa neráči nahnevať môj Pán, a nech mi je dovolené už len tento raz hovoriť: snáď sa tam najdú desiati. - A riekol: Nezkazím pre tých desiatich.

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

³³A Hospodin odišiel hneď, ako dohovoril s Abrahámom. A Abrahám sa navrátil na svoje miesto.
