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

¹In prikaže se mu GOSPOD pri hrastih Mamrejevih, ko je sedel pri vratih šatora svojega ob dnevni vročini.

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,

²In povzdigne oči in pogleda, in glej, trije možje se ustavijo pred njim; ko jih zazre, jim priteče naproti od vrat šatora svojega ter se prikloni do tal

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

³in reče: Gospod moj, če sem našel milost v tvojih očeh, ne pojdi, prosim, mimo svojega hlapca.

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

⁴Prineso naj nekoliko vode, in umijte si noge ter počijte pod drevesom.

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.

⁵In prinesem grižljaj kruha in okrepčajte srce svoje; potem pojdete dalje; saj zato ste se namerili mimo svojega hlapca. Oni pa reko: Tako stóri, kakor si govoril.

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.

⁶Hitel je torej Abraham v šator k Sari in rekel: Hitro zmesi tri merice bele moke in naredi podpepelnikov!

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.

⁷Abraham pa teče h govedi in vzame najboljše tele pri sescu ter ga dá hlapcu, ki ga pripravljat hiti.

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.

⁸Nato vzame masla in mleka in tele, ki ga je pripravil, in položi prednje; in sam je stal poleg njih pod drevesom, in jedli so.

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

⁹Ko so mu pa rekli: Kje je Sara, žena tvoja? reče: Glej, v šatoru.

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.

¹⁰In reče Gospod: Gotovo se vrnem k tebi, ko zopet pride ta čas, in glej, sina bo imela Sara, žena tvoja. Sara pa je slišala za durmi šatora, ki so bile za njim.

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

¹¹Abraham pa in Sara sta bila stara in priletna; nehalo se je bilo Sari goditi po ženski navadi.

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

¹²Zato se je smejala Sara, govoreč pri sebi: Ko sem postala starka, bi imela veselje? vrhutega je gospod moj starec!

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

¹³In reče GOSPOD Abrahamu: Zakaj se pa smeje Sara, govoreč: Ali bi zares rodila, ko sem se postarala?

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.

¹⁴Je li GOSPODU kaka stvar nedosežna? Osorej pridem zopet k tebi, ko se ponovi ta čas, in sina bo imela Sara.

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

¹⁵Sara pa je tajila, govoreč: Nisem se smejala, ker se je bala. A ji reče: Nikakor, ampak smejala si se.

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

¹⁶Nato so možje vstali odondod ter so gledali proti Sodomi; Abraham pa je šel ž njimi, da bi jih spremil.

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

¹⁷Reče pa GOSPOD: Ali bi naj skrival pred Abrahamom, kar nameravam storiti?

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

¹⁸Kajti Abraham bode gotovo naroda velikega in mogočnega oče, in vsi narodi zemlje bodo blagoslovljeni v njem.

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.

¹⁹Zakaj spoznal sem ga s tem namenom, da bo zapovedal otrokom svojim in rodbini svoji za seboj, naj se drže pota GOSPODOVEGA in strežejo pravičnosti in pravu, da bi izpolnil GOSPOD Abrahamu, kar mu je obljubil.

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

²⁰Reče torej GOSPOD: Vpitje iz Sodome in Gomore je res veliko in njih greh res silno težak;

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.

²¹zdaj pa pojdem doli in videl bom, ali so docela tako delali, kakor se glasi njih vpitje, ki je prišlo do mene; če pa ne, bom spoznal.

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

²²In tedaj sta se obrnila onadva in šla proti Sodomi; Abraham pa je stal še pred GOSPODOM.

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

²³In pristopi Abraham in reče: Boš li tudi pravičnega pokončal s krivičnim?

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

²⁴Je morda petdeset pravičnih v onem mestu, ali boš vendar pokončal in ne prizanesel kraju zaradi petdesetih pravičnih, ki so v njem?

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?

²⁵Ne bodi tega, da bi kaj takega storil ter v smrt dal pravičnega s krivičnim, da se godi enako pravičnemu kakor krivičnemu. Ne tako! Ali bi vse zemlje Sodnik ne delal po pravici?

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

²⁶In reče GOSPOD: Ako najdem v Sodomi, sredi mesta, petdeset pravičnih, prizanesem vsemu kraju zaradi njih.

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

²⁷Abraham pa odgovori ter reče: Glej, prosim, drznil sem se govoriti h Gospodu, jaz, ki sem prah in pepel:

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.

²⁸morda jih bo onim petdesetim pravičnim manjkalo pet, boš li zaradi teh peterih pokončal vse mesto? In reče: Ne pokončam, ako jih tam najdem petinštirideset.

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.

²⁹In zopet ga ogovori in reče: Morda se jih tam najde štirideset. In veli: Ne storim tega zaradi teh štiridesetih.

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.

³⁰In reče: Ne srdi se, prosim, Gospod, in še bom govoril: Morda se jih najde ondi trideset. In veli: Ne storim tega, ako jih najdem ondi trideset.

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.

³¹In reče: Glej, prosim, drznil sem se govoriti h Gospodu: Morda se jih najde ondi dvajset. In reče: Ne pogubim zaradi tistih dvajsetih.

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.

³²In reče: Ne srdi se, prosim, Gospod, in bom samo še enkrat govoril: Morebiti se jih najde ondi deset. In veli: Ne pokončam zaradi tistih desetih.In odide GOSPOD, ko je nehal govoriti z Abrahamom. Abraham pa se vrne v svoj kraj.

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

³³In odide GOSPOD, ko je nehal govoriti z Abrahamom. Abraham pa se vrne v svoj kraj.
