| 1 ܘܐܬܓܠܝ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܝܬ ܒܠܘܛܐ ܕܡܡܪܐ ܘܗ̣ܘ ܝܬ̇ܒ ܒܬܪܥܐ ܕܡܫܟܢܐ. ܟܕ ܚܡ ܝܘܡܐ. | 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 ܘܐܪܝܡ ܥܝܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܚ̣ܙܐ. ܘܗܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܝܢ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܠܥܠ ܡܢܗ. ܘܚ̣ܙܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܪܗܛ ܠܐܘܪܥܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܡܫܟܢܐ. ܘܣܓ̣ܕ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ. | 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 ܘܐܡ̣ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܢ ܐܫ̇ܟܚܬ ܪ̈ܚܡܐ ܒܥܝܢ̈ܝܟ. ܠܐ ܬܥܒܪ ܡܢ ܥܒ̣ܕܟ. | 3 and said, "My lord, if I have found favor in your sight, do not pass by your servant. |
| 4 ܐܣܒ ܩܠܝܠ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܘܐܫܝܓܘ ܪ̈ܓܠܝܟܘܢ. ܘܐܣܬܡܟܘ ܬܚܝܬ ܐܝܠܢܐ. | 4 Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree, |
| 5 ܘܣܒܘ ܦܬܬܐ ܕܠܚܡܐ ܘܣܡܘܟܘ ܠܒܟܘܢ. ܘܒܬܪ ܟܝܢ ܬܥܒܪܘܢ. ܡܛܠ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܥܒܪܬܘܢ ܥܠ ܥܒܕܟܘܢ. ܘܐܡܪܘ. ܗܟܢܐ ܬܥܒܕ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܡ̣ܪܬ. | 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 ܘܐܣܬܪܗܒ ܐܒܪܗܡ. ܘܪܗܛ ܠܡܫܟܢܐ ܠܘܬ ܣܪܐ ܘܐܡ̣ܪ. ܒܥܓܠ ܬܠܬ ܣܐ̈ܝܢ ܩܡܚܐ ܢܫܝܦܐ. ܠܘܫܝ ܘܥܒܕܝ ܪܥܦܐ. | 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 ܘܠܒܩܪܐ ܪܗܛ ܐܒܪܗܡ. ܘܢܣ̣ܒ ܥܓܠܐ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܝܢ ܘܛܒ. ܘܝܗܒܗ ܠܛܠܝܐ ܘܣܪܗܒ ܕܢܥܒܕܝܘܗܝ. | 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 ܘܢܣ̣ܒ ܚܐܘܬܐ ܘܚܠܒܐ ܘܥܓܠܐ ܕܥܒ̣ܕ ܘܣܡ ܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ. ܘܗ̣ܘ ܩܐܡ ܠܥܠ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܘܐܟܠܘ. | 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 ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ. ܐܝܟܐ ܗܝ ܣܪܐ ܐܢܬܬܟ. ܘܐܡ̣ܪ ܗܐ ܒܡܫܟܢܐ. | 9 They said to him, "Where is Sarah your wife?" And he said, "She is in the tent." |
| 10 ܘܐܡ̣ܪ ܠܗ ܡܗܦܟ ܐܗܦܘܟ ܠܘܬܟ ܠܙܒܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܟܕ ܗ̣ܝ ܚܝܐ. ܘܢܗܘܐ ܒܪܐ ܠܣܪܐ ܐܢܬܬܟ. ܘܣܪܐ ܫܡ̣ܥܬ ܒܬܪܥܐ ܕܡܫܟܢܐ. ܘܗ̣ܘ ܒܣܬܪܗ̇. | 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 ܘܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܣܪܐ ܣܐܒܘ ܘܥܠܘ ܒܫܢ̈ܝܐ. ܥܒܪ ܡܢ ܕܠܡܗܘܐ ܠܣܪܐ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܢܫ̈ܐ. | 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. |
| 12 ܘܓܚ̣ܟܬ ܣܪܐ ܒܠܒܗ̇ ܘܐܡ̣ܪܬ. ܒܬܪ ܕܒ̇ܠܝܬ ܗܘܝܐ ܠܝ ܥܠܝܡܘܬܐ. ܘܡܪܝ ܣܐܒ. | 12 So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, "After I have grown old, and my husband is old, shall I have pleasure?" |
| 13 ܘܐܡ̣ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܐܒܪܗܡ. ܠܡܢܐ ܓܚ̣ܟܬ ܣܪܐ ܘܐܡ̣ܪܬ. ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܠܕ ܐܢܐ ܕܣܐܒܬ. | 13 The LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, and say, 'Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?' |
| 14 ܪܒܐ ܗܝ ܨܒܘܬܐ ܡܢ ܡܪܝܐ. ܕܠܙܒܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܗܦܘܟ ܠܘܬܟ ܟܕ ܗ̣ܝ ܚܝܐ. ܘܢܗܘܐ ܒܪܐ ܠܣܪܐ ܐܢܬܬܟ . | 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 ܘܟܦ̣ܪܬ ܣܪܐ ܘܐܡ̣ܪܬ. ܠܐ ܓܚ̇ܟܬ. ܡܛܠ ܕܕܚ̣ܠܬ. ܘܐܡ̣ܪ . ܠܐ ܒܪܡ ܓܚ̣ܟܬܝ. | 15 But Sarah denied, saying, "I did not laugh"; for she was afraid. He said, "No, but you did laugh." |
| 16 ܘܩܡܘ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ. ܘܚܪܘ ܠܐ̈ܦܝ ܣܕܘܡ. ܘܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܙ̣ܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܕܢܠܘܐ ܐܢܘܢ. | 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 ܘܡܪܝܐ ܐܡ̣ܪ ܡܟܣ̇ܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܝ ܐܒܪܗܡ. ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒ̇ܕ ܐܢܐ. | 17 The LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, |
| 18 ܘܐܒܪܗܡ ܡܗܘܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܥܡܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܣܓܝܐܐ. ܘܢܬܒܪܟܘܢ ܒܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ. | 18 seeing that Abraham shall become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves by him? |
| 19 ܡܛܠ ܕܝܕܥ̇ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܕܡܦܩ̇ܕ ܠܒܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܠܒ̈ܢܝ ܒܝܬܗ. ܡܢ ܒܬܪܗ ܕܢܛܪܘܢ ܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܘܕܝܢ̣ܐ. ܡܛܠ ܕܢܝܬܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܡ̣ܪ ܥܠܘܗܝ. | 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 ܘܐܡ̣ܪ ܡܪܝܐ. ܓܥܬܐ ܕܣܕܘܡ ܘܕܥܡܘܪܐ ܥܠ̣ܬ ܩܕܡܝ . ܘܚ̈ܛܗܝܗܘܢ ܛܒ ܥܫܢܘ. | 20 Then the LORD said, "Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave, |
| 21 ܐܚܘܬ ܐܚܙܐ ܐܢ ܐܝܟ ܓܥܬܐ ܕܥܠ̣ܬ ܠܘܬܝ ܥܒܕܘ ܘܫܡܠܝܘ. ܘܐܠܐ ܐܕܥ. | 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 ܘܐܬܦܢܝܘ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ. ܘܐܙܠܘ ܠܣܕܘܡ. ܘܐܒܪܗܡ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ . | 22 So the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham still stood before the LORD. |
| 23 ܘܩ̣ܪܒ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܐܡ̣ܪ. ܒܚܕ ܪܘܓܙܐ ܡܘܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܙܕܝܩ̈ܐ ܥܡ ܚ̈ܛܝܐ. | 23 Then Abraham drew near, and said, "Wilt thou indeed destroy the righteous with the wicked? |
| 24 ܐܢ ܐܝܬ ܚܡܫܝܢ ܙܕܝܩ̈ܝܢ ܒܓܘ ܩܪܝܬܐ. ܒܪܘܓܙܐ ܚܕ ܡܘܒܕ ܐܢܬ. ܘܠܐ ܫܒ̇ܩ ܐܢܬ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܡܛܠ ܚܡܫܝܢ ܙܕܝܩ̈ܝܢ ܕܒܓܘܗ. | 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 ܚܣ ܠܟ ܕܬܥܒܕ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܗܢܐ. ܕܬܩܛܘܠ ܙܟܝܐ ܥܡ ܚܝ̇ܒܐ. ܘܢܗܘܐ ܙܟܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܚܝ̇ܒܐ. ܚܣ ܠܟ ܕܝ̇ܢܐ ܕܟܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܐ. ܠܐ ܢܬܥܒܕ ܕܝܢ̣ܐ ܗܢܐ. | 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 ܘܐܡ̣ܪ ܡܪܝܐ. ܐܢ ܐܫܟܚ ܒܣܕܘܡ ܚܡܫܝܢ ܙܕܝ̈ܩܝܢ ܒܓܘ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܐܫܒܘܩ ܠܟܠܗ ܐܬܪܐ ܡܛܠܬܗܘܢ. | 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 ܘܥܢ̣ܐ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܐܡ̣ܪ. ܗܐ ܫ̇ܪܝܬ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ. ܘܐܢܐ ܥܦܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܩܛܡܐ. | 27 Abraham answered, "Behold, I have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes. |
| 28 ܘܐܢ ܚܣܝܪ̈ܝܢ ܡܢ ܚܡܫܝܢ ܙܕܝܩ̈ܝܢ ܚܡܫܐ. ܡ̇ܚܒܠ ܐܢܬ ܡܛܠ ܚܡܫܐ ܟܠܗ̇ ܩܪܝܬܐ. ܘܐܡ̣ܪ ܠܐ ܐܚ̇ܒܠ. ܐܢ ܐܫܟܚ ܬܡ̇ܢ ܐܪ̈ܒܥܝܢ ܘܚܡܫܐ. | 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 ܘܐܘܣܦ ܬܘܒ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܗ. ܘܐܢ ܡܫܬܟܚܝܢ ܬܡܢ ܐܪ̈ܒܥܝܢ. ܘܐܡ̣ܪ. ܠܐ ܐܚܒܠ ܐܢ ܐܫܟܚ ܬܡ̇ܢ ܐܪ̈ܒܥܝܢ. | 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 ܘܐܡ̣ܪ. ܠܐ ܢܬܒܐܫ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܡܠܠ. ܘܐܢ ܡܫܬܟܚܝܢ ܬܡ̇ܢ ܬܠܬܝܢ. ܘܐܡ̣ܪ. ܠܐ ܐܚܒܠ ܐܢ ܐܫܟܚ ܬܡܢ ܬܠܬܝܢ. | 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 ܘܐܡ̣ܪ . ܗܐ ܫ̇ܪܝܬ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ. ܘܐܢ ܡܫܬܟܚܝܢ ܬܡ̇ܢ ܥܣܪ̈ܝܢ. ܘܐܡ̣ܪ. ܠܐ ܐܚ̇ܒܠ ܡܛܠ ܥܣܪ̈ܝܢ. | 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 ܘܐܡ̣ܪ. ܠܐ ܢܬܒܐܫ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܡܠܠ. ܒܠܚܘܕ ܙܒܢܬܐ ܗܕܐ. ܘܐܢ ܡܫܬܟܚܝܢ ܬܡ̇ܢ ܥܣܪܐ. ܘܐܡ̣ܪ. ܠܐ ܐܚ̇ܒܠ ܡܛܠ ܥܣܪܐ. | 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 ܘܐܙ̣ܠ ܡܪܝܐ ܟܕ ܫ̇ܠܡ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܥܡ ܐܒܪܗܡ. ܘܐܒܪܗܡ ܗܦ̣ܟ ܠܐܬܪܗ. | 33 And the LORD went his way, when he had finished speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place. |
