¹

Яви́ся же єму́ Бо́гъ у ду́ба Мамврі́йска, сѣдя́щу єму́ предъ две́рьми сѣ́ни своєя́ въ полу́дни.

¹

And God appeared to him by the oak of Mambre, as he sat by the door of his tent at noon.

²

Воззрѣ́въ же очи́ма свои́ма, ви́дѣ, и се́, тріє́ му́жіє стоя́ху надъ ни́мъ: и ви́дѣвъ притече́ въ срѣ́теніє и́мъ от две́рій сѣ́ни своєя́: и поклони́ся до земли́

²

And he lifted up his eyes and beheld, and lo! three men stood before him; and having seen them he ran to meet them from the door of his tent, and did obeisance to the ground.

³

и рече́: Го́споди, а́ще у́бо обрѣто́хъ благода́ть предъ Тобо́ю, не мини́ раба́ Твоєго́:

³

And he said, Lord, if indeed I have found grace in thy sight, pass not by thy servant.

⁴

да принесе́тся вода́ и омы́ются но́ги ва́ши, и прохладите́ся подъ дре́вомъ:

⁴

Let water now be brought, and let them wash your feet, and do ye refresh yourselves under the tree.

⁵

и принесу́ хлѣ́бъ, да я́сте, и посе́мъ по́йдете въ пу́ть сво́й, єго́же ра́ди уклони́стеся къ рабу́ ва́шему. И реко́ша: та́ко сотвори́, я́коже глаго́лалъ єси́.

⁵

And I will bring bread, and ye shall eat, and after this ye shall depart on your journey, on account of which refreshment ye have turned aside to your servant. And he said, So do, as thou hast said.

⁶

И потща́ся Авраа́мъ въ сѣ́нь къ Са́ррѣ и рече́ є́й: ускори́ и смѣси́ три́ мѣ́ры муки́ чи́сты, и сотвори́ потре́бники.

⁶

And Abraam hasted to the tent to Sarrha, and said to her, Hasten, and knead three measures of fine flour, and make cakes.

⁷

И тече́ Авраа́мъ ко кра́вамъ, и взя́ телца́ мла́да и добра́, и даде́ рабу́, и ускори́ пригото́вити є́.

⁷

And Abraam ran to the kine, and took a young calf, tender and good, and gave it to his servant, and he hasted to dress it.

⁸

И взя́ ма́сло, и млеко́, и телца́, єго́же пригото́ва: и предложи́ и́мъ, и ядо́ша: са́мъ же стоя́ше предъ ни́ми подъ дре́вомъ.

⁸

And he took butter and milk, and the calf which he had dressed; and he set them before them, and they did eat, and he stood by them under the tree.

⁹

Рече́ же къ нему́: гдѣ́ Са́рра жена́ твоя́? О́нъ же отвѣща́въ, рече́: се́, въ сѣ́ни.

⁹

And he said to him, Where is Sarrha thy wife? And he answered and said, Behold! in the tent.

¹⁰

Рече́ же: [се́] возвраща́яся пріиду́ къ тебѣ́ во вре́мя сіє́ въ часы́, и роди́тъ сы́на Са́рра жена́ твоя́. Са́рра же услы́ша предъ две́рьми сѣ́ни су́щи за ни́мъ.

¹⁰

And he said, I will return and come to thee according to this period seasonably, and Sarrha thy wife shall have a son; and Sarrha heard at the door of the tent, being behind him.

¹¹

Авраа́мъ же и Са́рра ста́ра [бѣ́ста,] заматерѣ́вшая во дне́хъ: и преста́ша Са́ррѣ быва́ти же́нская.

¹¹

And Abraam and Sarrha were old, advanced in days, and the custom of women ceased with Sarrha.

¹²

Разсмѣя́ся же Са́рра въ себѣ́, глаго́лющи: не у́ бы́ло ми́ у́бо досе́лѣ, господи́нъ же мо́й ста́ръ.

¹²

And Sarrha laughed in herself, saying, The thing has not as yet happened to me, even until now, and my lord is old.

¹³

И рече́ Госпо́дь ко Авраа́му: что́ я́ко разсмѣя́ся Са́рра въ себѣ́, глаго́лющи: єда́ и́стинно рожду́? А́зъ же состарѣ́хся.

¹³

And the Lord said to Abraam, Why is it that Sarrha has laughed in herself, saying, Shall I then indeed bear? but I am grown old.

¹⁴

Єда́ изнемо́жетъ у Бо́га сло́во? Въ сіє́ вре́мя возвращу́ся къ тебѣ́ въ часы́, и бу́детъ Са́ррѣ сы́нъ.

¹⁴

Shall anything be impossible with the Lord? At this time I will return to thee seasonably, and Sarrha shall have a son.

¹⁵

Отрече́ся же Са́рра, глаго́лющи: не разсмѣя́хся: убоя́ся бо. И рече́ є́й: ни́, но разсмѣя́лася єси́.

¹⁵

But Sarrha denied, saying, I did not laugh, for she was afraid. And he said to her, Nay, but thou didst laugh.

¹⁶

Воста́вше же отту́ду му́жіє, воззрѣ́ша на лице́ Содо́ма и Гомо́рра: Авраа́мъ же идя́ше съ ни́ми, провожда́я и́хъ.

¹⁶

And the men having risen up from thence looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha. And Abraam went with them, attending them on their journey.

¹⁷

Госпо́дь же рече́: єда́ утаю́ А́зъ от Авраа́ма раба́ Моєго́, я́же А́зъ творю́?

¹⁷

And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraam my servant what things I intend to do?

¹⁸

Авраа́мъ же быва́я бу́детъ въ язы́къ вели́къ и мно́гъ, и благословя́тся о не́мъ вси́ язы́цы земні́и:

¹⁸

But Abraam shall become a great and populous nation, and in him shall all the nations of the earth be blest.

¹⁹

вѣ́мъ бо, я́ко заповѣ́сть сыно́мъ свои́мъ и до́му своєму́ по себѣ́, и сохраня́тъ пути́ Госпо́дни твори́ти пра́вду и су́дъ, я́ко да наведе́тъ Госпо́дь на Авраа́ма вся́, єли́ка глаго́ла къ нему́.

¹⁹

For I know that he will order his sons, and his house after him, and they will keep the ways of the Lord, to do justice and judgment, that the Lord may bring upon Abraam all things whatsoever he has spoken to him.

²⁰

Рече́ же Госпо́дь: во́пль Содо́мскій и Гомо́ррскій умно́жися ко Мнѣ́, и грѣси́ и́хъ вели́цы зѣло́:

²⁰

And the Lord said, The cry of Sodom and Gomorrha has been increased towards me, and their sins are very great.

²¹

соше́дъ у́бо узрю́, а́ще по во́плю и́хъ гряду́щему ко Мнѣ́ соверша́ются: а́ще же ни́, да разумѣ́ю.

²¹

I will therefore go down and see, if they completely correspond with the cry which comes to me, and if not, that I may know.

²²

И обрати́вшеся отту́ду му́жіє, пріидо́ша въ Содо́мъ: Авраа́мъ же єще́ бя́ше стоя́й предъ Го́сподемъ.

²²

And the men having departed thence, came to Sodom; and Abraam was still standing before the Lord.

²³

И прибли́жився Авраа́мъ, рече́: погуби́ши ли пра́веднаго съ нечести́вымъ, и бу́детъ пра́ведникъ я́ко нечести́вый?

²³

And Abraam drew nigh and said, Wouldest thou destroy the righteous with the wicked, and shall the righteous be as the wicked?

²⁴

А́ще бу́дутъ пятьдеся́тъ пра́ведницы во гра́дѣ, погуби́ши ли я́? Не пощади́ши ли всего́ мѣ́ста пяти́десяти ра́ди пра́ведныхъ, а́ще бу́дутъ въ не́мъ?

²⁴

Should there be fifty righteous in the city, wilt thou destroy them? wilt thou not spare the whole place for the sake of the fifty righteous, if they be in it?

²⁵

Ника́коже Ты́ сотвори́ши по глаго́лу сему́, є́же уби́ти пра́ведника съ нечести́вымъ, и бу́детъ пра́ведникъ я́ко нечести́вый: ника́коже, Судя́й все́й земли́, не сотвори́ши ли суда́?

²⁵

By no means shalt thou do as this thing is so as to destroy the righteous with the wicked, so the righteous shall be as the wicked: by no means. Thou that judgest the whole earth, shalt thou not do right?

²⁶

Рече́ же Госпо́дь: а́ще бу́дутъ въ Содо́мѣхъ пятьдеся́тъ пра́ведницы во гра́дѣ, оста́влю ве́сь гра́дъ и все́ мѣ́сто и́хъ ра́ди.

²⁶

And the Lord said, If there should be in Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole city, and the whole place for their sakes.

²⁷

И отвѣща́въ Авраа́мъ, рече́: ны́нѣ нача́хъ глаго́лати ко Го́споду моєму́, а́зъ же є́смь земля́ и пе́пелъ:

²⁷

And Abraam answered and said, Now I have begun to speak to my Lord, and I am earth and ashes.

²⁸

а́ще же ума́лятся пятьдеся́тъ пра́ведницы въ четы́редесять пя́ть, погуби́ши ли четы́редесяти пяти́хъ ра́ди ве́сь гра́дъ? И рече́: не погублю́, а́ще обря́щу та́мо четы́редесять пя́ть.

²⁸

But if the fifty righteous should be diminished to forty-five, wilt thou destroy the whole city because of the five wanting? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I should find there forty-five.

²⁹

И приложи́ єще́ глаго́лати къ Нему́, и рече́: а́ще же обря́щутся та́мо четы́редесять? И рече́: не погублю́ ра́ди четы́редесяти.

²⁹

And he continued to speak to him still, and said, But if there should be found there forty? And he said, I will not destroy it for the forty's sake.

³⁰

И рече́: что́, Го́споди, а́ще возглаго́лю? А́ще же обря́щется та́мо три́десять? И рече́: не погублю́ три́десятихъ ра́ди.

³⁰

And he said, Will there be anything against me, Lord, if I shall speak? but if there be found there thirty? And he said, I will not destroy it for the thirty's sake.

³¹

И рече́: поне́же и́мамъ глаго́лати ко Го́споду: а́ще же обря́щутся та́мо два́десять? И рече́: не погублю́, а́ще обря́щутся та́мо два́десять.

³¹

And he said, Since I am able to speak to the Lord, what if there should be found there twenty? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I should find there twenty.

³²

И рече́: что́, Го́споди, а́ще возглаго́лю єще́ єди́ною? А́ще же обря́щутся та́мо де́сять? И рече́: не погублю́ десяти́хъ ра́ди.

³²

And he said, Will there be anything against me, Lord, if I speak yet once? but if there should be found there ten? And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten's sake.

³³

Оти́де же Госпо́дь, я́ко преста́ глаго́ля ко Авраа́му: и Авраа́мъ возврати́ся на мѣ́сто своє́.

³³

And the Lord departed, when he left off speaking to Abraam, and Abraam returned to his place.
