Genesi 18

NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Apparuit autem ei Dominus iuxta Quercus Mambre se denti in ostio tabernaculi sui in ipso fervore diei.	1 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
2 Cumque elevasset oculos, apparuerunt ei tres viri stantes prope eum. Quos cum vidisset, cucurrit in occursum eorum de ostio tabernaculi et adoravit in terram	2 And 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 et dixit: “Domine mi, si inveni gratiam in oculis tuis, ne transeas servum tuum;	3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
4 afferatur pauxillum aquae, et lavate pedes vestros et requiescite sub arbore.	4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
5 Ponamque buccellam panis, et confortate cor vestrum, postea transibitis; idcirco enim declinastis ad servum vestrum”. Qui dixerunt: “Fac ut locutus es”.	5 And 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 Festinavit Abraham in tabernaculum ad Saram dixitque: “Accelera, tria sata similae commisce et fac subcinericios panes”.	6 And 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 Ipse vero ad armentum cucurrit et tulit inde vitulum tenerrimum et optimum deditque puero; qui festinavit et coxit illum.	7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
8 Tulit quoque butyrum et lac et vitulum, quem coxerat, et posuit coram eis. Ipse vero stabat iuxta eos sub arbore; et comederunt.	8 And 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 Dixeruntque ad eum: “Ubi est Sara uxor tua?”. Ille respondit: “Ecce in tabernaculo est”.	9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
10 Cui dixit: “Revertens veniam ad te tempore isto, et habebit filium Sara uxor tua”. Quo audito, Sara risit ad ostium tabernaculi, quod erat post eum.	10 And 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 Erant autem ambo senes provectaeque aetatis, et desierant Sarae fieri muliebria.	11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
12 Quae risit occulte dicens: “Postquam consenui, et dominus meus vetulus est, voluptas mihi erit?”.	12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
13 Dixit autem Dominus ad Abraham: “Quare risit Sara dicens: "Num vere paritura sum anus?"”.	13 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
14 Numquid Domino est quidquam difficile? Revertar ad te hoc eodem tempore, et habebit Sara filium ”.	14 Is 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 Negavit Sara dicens: “Non risi”, timore perterrita. Ille autem dixit: “Non; sed risisti”.	15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
16 Cum ergo surrexissent inde viri, direxerunt oculos contra Sodomam; et Abraham simul gradiebatur deducens eos.	16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 Dixitque Dominus: “Num celare potero Abraham, quae gesturus sum,	17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
18 cum futurus sit in gentem magnam ac robustissimam, et benedicendae sint in illo omnes nationes terrae?	18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
19 Nam elegi eum, ut praecipiat filiis suis et domui suae post se, ut custodiant viam Domini et faciant iustitiam et iudicium, ut adducat Dominus super Abraham omnia, quae locutus est ad eum”.	19 For 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 Dixit itaque Dominus: “Clamor contra Sodomam et Gomorram multiplicatus est, et peccatum eorum aggravatum est nimis.	20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
21 Descendam et videbo utrum clamorem, qui venit ad me, opere compleverint an non; sciam”.	21 I 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 Converteruntque se inde viri et abierunt Sodomam; Abraham vero adhuc stabat coram Domino.	22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
23 Et appropinquans ait: “Numquid vere perdes iustum cum impio?	23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
24 Si forte fuerint quinquaginta iusti in civitate, vere perdes et non parces loco illi propter quinquaginta iustos, si fuerint in eo?	24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
25 Absit a te, ut rem hanc facias et occidas iustum cum impio, fiatque iustus sicut impius; absit a te. Nonne iudex universae terrae faciet iudicium?”.	25 That 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 Dixitque Dominus: “Si invenero Sodomae quinquaginta iustos in medio civitatis, dimittam omni loco propter eos”.	26 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
27 Respondensque Abraham ait: “Ecce coepi loqui ad Dominum meum, cum sim pulvis et cinis.	27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
28 Quid, si forte minus quinquaginta iustis quinque fuerint? Delebis propter quinque universam urbem?”. Et ait: “Non delebo, si invenero ibi quadraginta quinque”.	28 Peradventure 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 Rursumque locutus est ad eum: “Si forte inventi fuerint ibi quadraginta?”. Ait: “Non percutiam propter quadraginta”.	29 And 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 “Ne, quaeso, inquit, indignetur Dominus meus, si loquar. Si forte ibi inventi fuerint triginta?”. Respondit: “Non faciam, si invenero ibi triginta”.	30 And 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 “Ecce, ait, coepi loqui ad Dominum meum. Si forte inventi fuerint ibi viginti? ”. Dixit: “Non interficiam propter viginti”.	31 And 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 “Obsecro, inquit, ne irascatur Dominus meus, si loquar adhuc semel. Si forte inventi fuerint ibi decem?”. Dixit: “Non delebo propter decem”.	32 And 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 Abiit Dominus, postquam cessavit loqui ad Abraham; et ille reversus est in locum suum.	33 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
