1 Rabbi bangay a se Mamre tuuri-nyaŋey do haray, waato kaŋ a goono ga goro nga kuuru fuwo me gaa, zaari wayna korno waate.
1And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
2 A na nga boŋ sambu ka guna, kala boro hinza go ga kay a jine. Nga mo, saaya kaŋ a di ey, a tun da zuray nga kuuru fuwo meyo gaa zama nga m'i kubay se. A sombu hala ganda ka ne:
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,
3 «Ya ay Koyo, hala day ay du gaakuri ni do, ay ga ni ŋwaaray ma si bisa ka fay da ay, ni bannya.
3And said, My LORD, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
4 Naŋ ay ma kande hari, araŋ m'araŋ cey nyun, araŋ ma fulanzam mo tuuri nyaŋey cire.
4Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
5 Ay mo, ay ma kande buuru kayna, araŋ m'araŋ biney yeenandi. Waato din gaa araŋ ma bisa, zama woodin se no araŋ gana ay, araŋ bannya do haray.» I binde ne: «Ma te mate kaŋ ni ci din.»
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.
6 Kala Ibrahim furo nda waasi nga kuuru fuwo ra Saharatu do. A ne: «Kala ni ma muudu hinza hamni baano soola nda waasi, m'a diibi k'a ton buuru.»
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.
7 Ibrahim ye ka zuru ka koy kurey do. A na handayze hanno fo kaŋ ga baan di, k'a no bannya fo se. Nga mo n'a hanse nda waasi.
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.
8 A na haw ji sambu mo, da wa gani da handayzo hamo kaŋ i hanse. A na ŋwaaro jisi i jine ka kay i jarga tuuri-nyaŋo cire. Ngey mo ŋwa.
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.
9 I ne a se: «Man no ni wande Saharatu go?» A ne: «Nga neeya kuuru fuwo ra.»
9And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
10 Rabbi ne: «Daahir, ay ga ye ka kaa ni do, yeesi alwaati woone cine ra. Guna mo, ni wando Saharatu ga du ize aru.» Saharatu mo go kuuru fuwo ra haray, meyo gaa, Ibrahim banda, a goono ga maa.
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.
11 Ibrahim da Saharatu binde zeen, i jiirey gooru, hala wayboro alaada ban Saharatu do.
11Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
12 Kala Saharatu haaru nga bina ra. A goono ga ne: «Ay zeena banda no ay ga du ndunnya kaani, kaŋ ay jine bora mo zeen?»
12Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
13 Kala Rabbi ne Ibrahim se: «Ifo se no Saharatu goono ga haaru ka ne: ‹Hala daahir no ay kaŋ zeen ga ize hay?›
13And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
14 Hay fo go no kaŋ ga mongo ay, Rabbi se no? Yeesi alwaati toonanta ra ay ga ye ka kaa ni do. Saharatu mo ga ize aru hay.»
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.
15 Saaya din Saharatu ze ka ne: «Ay mana haaru bo!» (zama a go ga humburu). Rabbi ne: «Abada, ni haaru ya!»
15Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
16 Borey din binde tun noodin ka guna Saduma haray. Ibrahim mo koy i banda k'i dum.
16And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 Kala Rabbi ne: «Hayo kaŋ ay ga ba ka te, ay m'a tugu Ibrahim se no?
17And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
18 Kaŋ a go, daahir, Ibrahim ya dumi bambata gaabikooni no. Ndunnya dumey kulu mo ga du albarka a do.
18Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
19 Zama ay g'a bay, sanda a ga nga izey no lordi*, ngey nd'a almayaaley a banda, hal i ma Rabbi fonda gana, i ma adilitaray da cimi ciiti gana, zama Rabbi ma du ka te Ibrahim se haya kaŋ nga ci a boŋ.»
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.
20 Rabbi ne koyne: «Saduma nda Gomorata sanno ga beeri, zama i zunubo ga laala gumo.
20And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
21 Ay ga zumbu sohõ ka di hal i goyo kubay mate kaŋ cine a yooja kaa hal ay do, da manti yaadin mo no, ay ga bay.»
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.
22 Kala borey na banda bare noodin ka koy Saduma haray. Amma Ibrahim kay jina Rabbi jine.
22And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
23 Ibrahim maan ka ne: «Nin wo, ni ga adilante* halaci boro laaley banda?
23And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
24 Hambara adilante waygu go no birno ra. Ni ga nango halaci, ni si fay d'ey adilante waygo din kaŋ yaŋ go a ra sabbay se?
24Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
25 Woodin ga mooru nin, ni ma adilantey wi boro laaley banda, hal i ma adilantey himandi ilaaley. Woodin ga mooru nin. Ndunnya kulu Ciitikwa, manti ihanno no a ga te bo?»
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?
26 Rabbi ne: «D'ay na adilante waygu gar Saduma birno ra, ay ga fay da nango kulu i sabbay se.»
26And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
27 Ibrahim tu ka ne: «Guna, ay kawla ka salaŋ ay Koyo se, ay kaŋ go, ay manti hay kulu kala laabu nda boosu.
27And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes:
28 Hambara i ga jaŋ igu adilante waygo ra. Ni ga birno kulu halaci iguwa jaŋay se?» Rabbi ne: «Ay s'a halaci d'ay du waytaaci cindi gu a ra.»
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.
29 Ibrahim ye ka salaŋ d'a koyne ka ne: «Hambara i ga waytaaci gar noodin.» Rabbi ne: «Waytaaca din sabbay se ay s'a te.»
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.
30 Ibrahim ne koyne: «Ay Koyo ma si te ay se bine, ay mo ga salaŋ. Hambara i ga boro waranza gar noodin.» Rabbi ne: «Ay s'a te d'ay na waranza gar noodin.»
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.
31 Ibrahim ne koyne: «A go sohõ, ay ga kawla te ka salaŋ ay Koyo se. Hambara i ga waranka gar noodin.» Rabbi ne: «Ay s'a halaci waranka din sabbay se.»
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.
32 Ibrahim ne koyne: «Ya ay Koyo, ni ma si te bine. Ay si ye ka salaŋ koyne kala ce folloŋ wo hinne. Hambara i ga iway gar noodin.» Rabbi ne: «Ay s'a halaci iwayo din sabbay se.»
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.
33 Saaya kaŋ a fay da Ibrahim se sanno, Rabbi na nga diraw te. Ibrahim mo ye nga nangora do.
33And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
