| 1 Και εφανη εις αυτον ο Κυριος εις τας δρυς Μαμβρη, ενω εκαθητο εν τη θυρα της σκηνης εις το καυμα της ημερας. | 1 And the LORD appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the door of his tent in the heat of the day. |
| 2 Και υψωσας τους οφθαλμους αυτου, ειδε? και ιδου, τρεις ανδρες ισταμενοι εμπροσθεν αυτου? και ως ειδεν, εδραμεν εις προυπαντησιν αυτων απο της θυρας της σκηνης, και προσεκυνησεν εως εδαφους? | 2 He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men stood in front of him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the earth, |
| 3 και ειπε, Κυριε μου, εαν ευρηκα χαριν εις τους οφθαλμους σου, μη παρελθης, παρακαλω, τον δουλον σου? | 3 and said, "My lord, if I have found favor in your sight, do not pass by your servant. |
| 4 ας φερθη, παρακαλω, ολιγον υδωρ, και νιψατε τους ποδας σας, και αναπαυθητε υπο το δενδρον? | 4 Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree, |
| 5 και εγω θελω φερει ολιγον αρτον, και στηριξατε την καρδιαν σας? επειτα θελετε παρελθει? επειδη δια τουτο επερασατε προς τον δουλον σας? οι δε ειπον, Καμε ουτω, καθως ειπας. | 5 while I fetch a morsel of bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on--since you have come to your servant." So they said, "Do as you have said." |
| 6 Και εσπευσεν ο Αβρααμ εις την σκηνην προς την Σαρραν και ειπε, Σπευσον ζυμωσον τρια μετρα σεμιδαλεως, και καμε εγκρυφιας. | 6 And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes." |
| 7 Ο δε Αβρααμ εδραμεν εις τους βοας, και ελαβε μοσχαριον απαλον και καλον, και εδωκεν εις τον δουλον? ο δε εσπευσε να ετοιμαση αυτο? | 7 And Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to the servant, who hastened to prepare it. |
| 8 επειτα ελαβε βουτυρον και γαλα και το μοσχαριον, το οποιον ητοιμασε, και εθεσεν εμπροσθεν αυτων? αυτος δε ιστατο πλησιον αυτων υπο το δενδρον, και αυτοι εφαγον. | 8 Then he took curds, and milk, and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree while they ate. |
| 9 Ειπον δε προς αυτον, Που ειναι Σαρρα η γυνη σου; Ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, εν τη σκηνη. | 9 They said to him, "Where is Sarah your wife?" And he said, "She is in the tent." |
| 10 Και ειπεν, Εξαπαντος θελω επιστρεψει προς σε κατα τον αυτον τουτον καιρον του ετους? και ιδου, Σαρρα η γυνη σου θελει εχει υιον. Η δε Σαρρα ηκουσεν εν τη θυρα της σκηνης ητις ητο οπισθεν αυτου. | 10 The LORD said, "I will surely return to you in the spring, and Sarah your wife shall have a son." And Sarah was listening at the tent door behind him. |
| 11 Ο δε Αβρααμ και η Σαρρα ησαν γεροντες, προβεβηκοτες εις ηλικιαν? εις την Σαρραν ειχον παυσει να γινωνται τα γυναικεια. | 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. |
| 12 Εγελασε δε η Σαρρα καθ' εαυτην λεγουσα, Αφου εγηρασα, θελει γεινει εις εμε ηδονη και ο κυριος μου γερων; | 12 So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, "After I have grown old, and my husband is old, shall I have pleasure?" |
| 13 Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Αβρααμ, Δια τι εγελασεν η Σαρρα, λεγουσα, Αφου εγω εγηρασα, θελω τωοντι γεννησει; | 13 The LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, and say, 'Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?' |
| 14 ειναι τι αδυνατον εις τον Κυριον; εν τω ωρισμενω καιρω θελω επιστρεψει προς σε κατα τον αυτον τουτον καιρον του ετους, και η Σαρρα θελει εχει υιον. | 14 Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, in the spring, and Sarah shall have a son." |
| 15 Τοτε η Σαρρα ηρνηθη λεγουσα, δεν εγελασα? διοτι εφοβηθη. Ο δε ειπεν, Ουχι, αλλ' εγελασας. | 15 But Sarah denied, saying, "I did not laugh"; for she was afraid. He said, "No, but you did laugh." |
| 16 Σηκωθεντες δε εκειθεν οι ανδρες διευθυνθησαν προς τα Σοδομα? και ο Αβρααμ επορευετο μετ' αυτων δια να συμπροπεμψη αυτους. | 16 Then the men set out from there, and they looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to set them on their way. |
| 17 Και ειπε Κυριος, Θελω κρυψει εγω απο του Αβρααμ ο, τι καμνω; | 17 The LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, |
| 18 ο δε Αβρααμ θελει εξαπαντος γεινει εθνος μεγα και δυνατον? και θελουσιν ευλογηθη εις αυτον παντα τα εθνη της γης? | 18 seeing that Abraham shall become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves by him? |
| 19 επειδη γνωριζω αυτον οτι θελει διαταξει προς τους υιους αυτου και προς τον οικον αυτου, μεθ' εαυτον, και θελουσι φυλαξει την οδον του Κυριου, δια να πραττωσι δικαιοσυνην και κρισιν, ωστε να επιφερη ο Κυριος επι τον Αβρααμ τα οσα ελαλησε προς αυτον. | 19 No, for I have chosen him, that he may charge his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice; so that the LORD may bring to Abraham what he has promised him." |
| 20 Ειπε δε Κυριος, Η κραυγη των Σοδομων και των Γομορρων επληθυνε, και η αμαρτια αυτων βαρεια σφοδρα? | 20 Then the LORD said, "Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave, |
| 21 θελω λοιπον καταβη και θελω ιδει αν επραξαν ολοκληρως κατα την κραυγην την ερχομενην προς εμε? και θελω γνωρισει, αν ουχι. | 21 I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry which has come to me; and if not, I will know." |
| 22 Και αναχωρησαντες εκειθεν οι ανδρες υπηγον προς τα Σοδομα? ο δε Αβρααμ ιστατο ετι ενωπιον του Κυριου. | 22 So the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham still stood before the LORD. |
| 23 Και πλησιασας ο Αβρααμ ειπε, Μηπως θελεις απολεσει τον δικαιον μετα του ασεβους; | 23 Then Abraham drew near, and said, "Wilt thou indeed destroy the righteous with the wicked? |
| 24 εαν ηναι πεντηκοντα δικαιοι εν τη πολει, θελεις αρα γε απολεσει αυτους; και δεν ηθελες συγχωρησει εις τον τοπον δια τους πεντηκοντα δικαιους, τους εν αυτω; | 24 Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; wilt thou then destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous who are in it? |
| 25 μη γενοιτο ποτε συ να πραξης τοιουτον πραγμα, να θανατωσης δικαιον μετα ασεβους, και ο δικαιος να ηναι ως ο ασεβης μη γενοιτο ποτε εις σε ο κρινων πασαν την γην δεν θελει καμει κρισιν; | 25 Far be it from thee to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from thee! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" |
| 26 Ειπε δε Κυριος, Εαν ευρω εν Σοδομοις πεντηκοντα δικαιους εν τη πολει, θελω συγχωρησει εις παντα τον τοπον δι' αυτους. | 26 And the LORD said, "If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake." |
| 27 Και αποκριθεις ο Αβρααμ ειπεν, Ιδου, τωρα ετολμησα να ομιλησω προς τον Κυριον μου, ενω ειμαι γη και σποδος? | 27 Abraham answered, "Behold, I have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes. |
| 28 εαν λειψωσι πεντε εκ των πεντηκοντα δικαιων, θελεις απολεσει πασαν την πολιν εξ αιτιας των πεντε; Και ειπε, Δεν θελω απολεσει αυτην εαν ευρω εκει τεσσαρακοντα πεντε. | 28 Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking? Wilt thou destroy the whole city for lack of five?" And he said, "I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there." |
| 29 Και προσεθεσεν ετι ο Αβρααμ να λαληση προς αυτον, και ειπεν, Εαν ευρεθωσιν εκει τεσσαρακοντα; Και ειπε, Δεν θελω απολεσει αυτην χαριν των τεσσαρακοντα. | 29 Again he spoke to him, and said, "Suppose forty are found there." He answered, "For the sake of forty I will not do it." |
| 30 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ, Ας μη παροξυνθη ο Κυριος μου εαν ετι λαλησω? εαν ευρεθωσιν εκει τριακοντα; Και ειπε, Δεν θελω απολεσει αυτην εαν ευρω εκει τριακοντα. | 30 Then he said, "Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Suppose thirty are found there." He answered, "I will not do it, if I find thirty there." |
| 31 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ, Ιδου, τωρα ετολμησα να λαλησω προς τον Κυριον μου? εαν ευρεθωσιν εκει εικοσι; και ειπε, Δεν θελω απολεσει αυτην χαριν των εικοσι. | 31 He said, "Behold, I have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there." He answered, "For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it." |
| 32 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ, Ας μη παροξυνθη ο Κυριος μου, εαν λαλησω ετι απαξ? εαν ευρεθωσιν εκει δεκα; και ειπε, Δεν θελω απολεσει αυτην χαριν των δεκα. | 32 Then he said, "Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again but this once. Suppose ten are found there." He answered, "For the sake of ten I will not destroy it." |
| 33 Και ανεχωρησεν ο Κυριος, αφου επαυσε να λαλη προς τον Αβρααμ? και ο Αβρααμ επεστρεψεν εις τον τοπον αυτου. | 33 And the LORD went his way, when he had finished speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place. |
