¹وظهر له الرب عند بلوطات ممرا وهو جالس في باب الخيمة وقت حر النهار.

¹And Jehovah appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre. And he sat at the tent-door in the heat of the day.

²فرفع عينيه ونظر واذا ثلاثة رجال واقفون لديه. فلما نظر ركض لاستقبالهم من باب الخيمة وسجد الى الارض.

²And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, three men standing near him. And when he saw [them], he ran to meet them from the tent-door, and bowed himself to the earth,

³وقال يا سيد ان كنت قد وجدت نعمة في عينيك فلا تتجاوز عبدك.

³and said, Lord, if now I have found favour in thine eyes, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.

⁴ليؤخذ قليل ماء واغسلوا ارجلكم واتكئوا تحت الشجرة.

⁴Let now a little water be fetched, that ye may wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.

⁵فآخذ كسرة خبز فتسندون قلوبكم ثم تجتازون. لانكم قد مررتم على عبدكم. فقالوا هكذا تفعل كما تكلمت

⁵And I will fetch a morsel of bread; and refresh yourselves; after that ye shall pass on; for therefore have ye passed on towards your servant. And they said, So do as thou hast said.

⁶فاسرع ابراهيم الى الخيمة الى سارة وقال اسرعي بثلاث كيلات دقيقا سميذا. اعجني واصنعي خبز ملّة.

⁶And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Knead quickly three seahs of wheaten flour, and make cakes.

⁷ثم ركض ابراهيم الى البقر واخذ عجلا رخصا وجيدا واعطاه للغلام فاسرع ليعمله.

⁷And Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf tender and good, and gave [it] to the attendant; and he hasted to dress it.

⁸ثم اخذ زبدا ولبنا والعجل الذي عمله ووضعها قدامهم. واذ كان هو واقفا لديهم تحت الشجرة اكلوا

⁸And he took thick and sweet milk, and the calf that he had dressed, and set [it] before them; and he stood before them under the tree, and they ate.

⁹وقالوا له اين سارة امرأتك. فقال ها هي في الخيمة.

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

¹⁰فقال اني ارجع اليك نحو زمان الحياة ويكون لسارة امرأتك ابن. وكانت سارة سامعة في باب الخيمة وهو وراءه.

¹⁰And he said, I will certainly return to thee at [this] time of the year, and behold, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah was listening at the tent-door, which was behind him.

¹¹وكان ابراهيم وسارة شيخين متقدمين في الايام. وقد انقطع ان يكون لسارة عادة كالنساء.

¹¹Now Abraham and Sarah were old [and] advanced in age: it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

¹²فضحكت سارة في باطنها قائلة أبعد فنائي يكون لي تنعم وسيدي قد شاخ.

¹²And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am become old, shall I have pleasure, and my lord old?

¹³فقال الرب لابراهيم لماذا ضحكت سارة قائلة أفبالحقيقة الد وانا قد شخت.

¹³And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why is this, that Sarah laughs, saying, Shall I indeed bear, when I am become old?

¹⁴هل يستحيل على الرب شيء. في الميعاد ارجع اليك نحو زمان الحياة ويكون لسارة ابن.

¹⁴Is [any] matter too wonderful for Jehovah? At the time appointed I will return to thee, at [this] time of the year, and Sarah shall have a son.

¹⁵فانكرت سارة قائلة لم اضحك. لانها خافت. فقال لا بل ضحكت

¹⁵And Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid. And he said, No; but thou didst laugh.

¹⁶ثم قام الرجال من هناك وتطلعوا نحو سدوم. وكان ابراهيم ماشيا معهم ليشيعهم.

¹⁶And the men rose up thence, and looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to conduct them.

¹⁷فقال الرب هل اخفي عن ابراهيم ما انا فاعله.

¹⁷And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing?

¹⁸وابراهيم يكون امة كبيرة وقوية ويتبارك به جميع امم الارض.

¹⁸Since Abraham shall indeed become a great and mighty nation; and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him.

¹⁹لاني عرفته لكي يوصي بنيه وبيته من بعده ان يحفظوا طريق الرب ليعملوا برا وعدلا لكي ياتي الرب لابراهيم بما تكلم به.

¹⁹For I know him that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice, in order that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham what he hath spoken of him.

²⁰وقال الرب ان صراخ سدوم وعمورة قد كثر وخطيتهم قد عظمت جدا.

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

²¹انزل وأرى هل فعلوا بالتمام حسب صراخها الآتي اليّ. والا فاعلم.

²¹I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come to me; and if not, I will know [it].

²²وانصرف الرجال من هناك وذهبوا نحو سدوم. واما ابراهيم فكان لم يزل قائما امام الرب

²²And the men turned thence, and went towards Sodom; and Abraham remained yet standing before Jehovah.

²³فتقدم ابراهيم وقال أفتهلك البار مع الاثيم.

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

²⁴عسى ان يكون خمسون بارا في المدينة. أفتهلك المكان ولا تصفح عنه من اجل الخمسين بارا الذين فيه.

²⁴There are perhaps fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not forgive the place for the sake of the fifty righteous that are therein?

²⁵حاشا لك ان تفعل مثل هذا الامر ان تميت البار مع الاثيم فيكون البار كالاثيم. حاشا لك. أديان كل الارض لا يصنع عدلا.

²⁵Far be it from thee to do so, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that the righteous should be as the wicked -- far be it from thee! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?

²⁶فقال الرب ان وجدت في سدوم خمسين بارا في المدينة فاني اصفح عن المكان كله من اجلهم.

²⁶And Jehovah said, If I find at Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will forgive all the place for their sakes.

²⁷فاجاب ابراهيم وقال اني قد شرعت اكلم المولى وانا تراب ورماد.

²⁷And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have ventured to speak unto the Lord; I, who am dust and ashes.

²⁸ربما نقص الخمسون بارا خمسة. أتهلك كل المدينة بالخمسة. فقال لا اهلك ان وجدت هناك خمسة واربعين.

²⁸Perhaps there may want five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city on account of the five? And he said, If I shall find forty-five there, I will not destroy [it].

²⁹فعاد يكلمه ايضا وقال عسى ان يوجد هناك اربعون. فقال لا افعل من اجل الاربعين.

²⁹And he continued yet to speak with him, and said, Perhaps there may be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for the forty's sake.

³⁰فقال لا يسخط المولى فاتكلم. عسى ان يوجد هناك ثلاثون. فقال لا افعل ان وجدت هناك ثلاثين.

³⁰And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry that I speak! Perhaps there may be thirty found there. And he said, I will not do it if I find thirty there.

³¹فقال اني قد شرعت اكلم المولى. عسى ان يوجد هناك عشرون. فقال لا اهلك من اجل العشرين.

³¹And he said, Behold now, I have ventured to speak with the Lord. Perhaps there may be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for the twenty's sake.

³²فقال لا يسخط المولى فاتكلم هذه المرة فقط. عسى ان يوجد هناك عشرة. فقال لا اهلك من اجل العشرة.

³²And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, that I speak yet but this time! Perhaps there may be ten found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for the ten's sake.

³³وذهب الرب عندما فرغ من الكلام مع ابراهيم ورجع ابراهيم الى مكانه

³³And Jehovah went away when he had ended speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.
