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

¹And Jehovah appeared unto him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

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.

²and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood over against him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,

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

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

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

⁴let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

¹⁰And he said, I will certainly return unto thee when the season cometh round; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

¹⁴Is anything too hard for Jehovah? At the set time I will return unto thee, when the season cometh round, and Sarah shall have a son.

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁷And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham that which I do;

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

¹⁸seeing that Abraham had surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in 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.

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 Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 the forty's sake.

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.

³⁰And he said, 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.

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

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 the twenty'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.

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 the ten's sake.

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

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