¹

ЈА/ви же ся е^мђ б~ъ ё^ дђба маMврїя, сњдя'щемђ преD двеrми храмђ е^го въ полђдн^е.

¹

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

²

възрњв же ѓ^чима свои^ма. и^ ё^зрњ`, и^ се трїе мђжи сᲄоя'хђ прямо е^мђ, и^ видњвъ и& притече` въ срњт'енїе и^мъ эT две'рїи храма е^го, и^ поклони'ся до ꙁемля`,

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^ рече Ги~ а^ще ѓ^брњтохъ блDгть, пред лицеM твоимъ, не мини` раба свое^го, да ся

³

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

⁴

принесетъ вода`, и^ ѓ^мы'ются ногы ваша. и^ прохлади'теся поD дђ'бомъ

⁴

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

⁵

и^ принесђ` хлњбы да ја%сте” И$ посем# мине'те на пђть свои е^гоy ради сᲆврати'стеся сњмо къ рабђ` свое^мђ. и^ рњша та'ко сътвори`, ја%коже гл~а”

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$ потъща'вся а^враа'мъ въ храминђ кᲆ са'ррњ и^ рече е^й, ё^скори` вꙁя'ти три спђ'ды мђки чисты, и^ сътвори` потре'бники”

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$ тече а^враа'мъ въ кра'вы. и^ поя` телецъ млаD и^ до'бръ, и^ дасть и& рабђ, и^ ё^скори` пригоᲄо'вити е&,

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$ взя масло, и^ млеко, и^ телеw, е^же пригото'ва, и^ посᲄави преD ни'ми и^ ја%до'ша, сам же стоя'ше преD ними. поD древомъ” И$ реко'ста къ немђ` гд^њ са'рра жена твоя`, ѓ^н же эTвњщавъ

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

рече с^е въ хра'минњ”

⁹

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

¹⁰

И рече с^е ѓ^бращᲆся прїидђ к тебњ, ѓ^ вре'мени семъ въ часᲇ, и^ родиT сн~ъ са'рра жена твоа`, са'рра же ёслы'ша преD две'рми храмины сђщи ꙁа нимъ”

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

А$враа'м же и^ сар#ра стара бњста, жи'вши дн~и мно'гы, и^ минђ'ла бяше са'рры женская` не'мощъ,

¹¹

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

¹²

и^ посмњя'ся са'рра гл~ющи в себњ, не ё^бо бы'ло ми доселњ, се мQђ мо= стаr”

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$ рече г~ь кᲆ а^враа'мђ, чт^о ја^ко посмњя'ся са'рра въ себњ гл~ющи, и^ а'ще право рождђ, а%зъ б^о сᲆстарњ'хся.

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

е^да немо'щно е^сть эT б~а всяко сло'во, въ се время въꙁвращђся` въ часњ. и^ бђ'дет# са'ррᲇ сн~ъ”

¹⁴

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

¹⁵

И$ эTврᲆжеся са'рра гл~ющи, не посмњяXся, ё^боя бо ся, и^ рече н^и н^о посмᲇя'ся,

¹⁵

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

¹⁶

въста'вши же мђжи эTтђдђ и^ ѓ^брати'ша лица своа` къ содо'мњ, и^ къ го'морњ, а^враа'м же и^дя'ше с ними проводя я`”

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

Рече же г~ь, не потаю` а%зъ эT авраа'ма раба мое^го, е^же а%зъ творю`,

¹⁷

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

¹⁸

а^врааM же бђдыи` бђдеT въ ја%зыk великъ, и^ многъ” И$ блsвятся ѓ^ неM вси ја%ꙁы'ци ꙁемнїи&,

¹⁸

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

¹⁹

вњмъ ё^бо ја^ко скажетъ сн~омъ свои^мъ, и^ домђ свое^мђ по себњ, да сънабдя'тъ за'повњди г~а б~а твори'ти правдђ и^ сDђ” до'ндеже сътвори'тъ г~ь а^враа'мђ вс^е е^ли'ко гл~а к немђ”

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

И$ рече г~ь вопль содо'мскїи, и^ гомо'рскїи ёмно'жися ко мнњ` и^ грњсї и^хъ вели'цы ѕњло,

²⁰

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

²¹

съшеD ё^бо да ви'ждђ, а^ще по во' плю иX, приходя'щђ къ мнњ. конча'юTся и^ли н^и, да раꙁђмњ'ю”

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$ ѓ^братившеся мђжи` эTтђ'дђ, прїидоша въ содо'мъ а^враа'м же бя'ше е^ще стоя преD гм~ъ”

²²

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

²³

И$ пристђпивъ а^враа'мъ рече, погђби'ши ли правеDнаго съ нечести'выми, и^ бђдетᲆ правеDныи ја%ко нечесᲄи'выи”

²³

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

²⁴

А$ще е^сть, н~, пра'веDныхъ въ градњ погђби'ши ли я&, не ѓ^ста'виши ли всякомђ градђ. н~. правеDныхъ ради, а^ще сђть в немъ,

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

никакоже сътвори'ши по словеси` семђ, е^же ё^бити правеDнаго, съ нечести'выми, и^ бђдђть правеDнїи& ја^ко нечести'вїи&, ника'коже т^ы сђдїя` ꙁемли все'й, не сътвори'ти сDђ” И$

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

рече г~ь а^ще ѓ^брящется въ содо'мњхъ, н~. правеDныX, ѓставлю весь предњлъ тњхъ ради”

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$ эTвњщавъ а^враа'мᲆ рече, нн~њ начаX гл~ати къ г~ђ мое^мђ, а%ꙁ же е^смь ꙁемля` и^ пе'пелъ,

²⁷

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

²⁸

да а^ще ё^бђ'детъ, эT н~, правеDныхъ е~. погђбиши л^и, м~е, ради правеDныхъ весь граD” И$ реq не погђблю`, аще ѓ^бря'щђ т^ђ, м~е”

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$ приложи` е^ще гл~ати къ немђ. и^ реq, аще ѓ^бря'щется иX т^ђ м~” И$ рече, не погђблю`, а^ще ѓбрящTђся. м~. і^ рече е^лмаy г~и и^маM гл~ати, а^ще ѓ^бря'щется иX л~”

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$ рече не погђблю` л~, ради” и^ рече, да чт^о е^ще гл~ю” г~и, а^ще ѓ^брящTђся иX, к~”

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$ реq не погђблю`. к~ ради”

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$ рече, е^да г~и чт^о а^ще гл~ю е^ді'ною е^ще” А$ще ѓ^бря'щеTся иX т^ђ, і~” И$ рече не погђблю` і~. раd

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

эTи^де же г~ь, ја%ко сконча гл~я къ а^враа'мђ, и^ а^враа'мъ ѓ^брати'ся на мњсто свое`”

³³

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