¹

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

¹

Ꙗ҆ви́сѧ же є҆мꙋ̀ бг҃ъ оу҆ дꙋ́ба мамврі́йска, сѣдѧ́щꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ пред̾ две́рьми сѣ́ни своеѧ̀ въ полꙋ́дни.

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.

²

Воззрѣ́въ же ѻ҆чи́ма свои́ма, ви́дѣ, и҆ сѐ, трїѐ мꙋ́жїе стоѧ́хꙋ над̾ ни́мъ: и҆ ви́дѣвъ притечѐ въ срѣ́тенїе и҆̀мъ ѿ две́рїй сѣ́ни своеѧ̀: и҆ поклони́сѧ до землѝ

³

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

³

и҆ речѐ: гдⷭ҇и, а҆́ще оу҆̀бо ѡ҆брѣто́хъ блгⷣть пред̾ тобо́ю, не минѝ раба̀ твоегѡ̀:

⁴

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

⁴

да принесе́тсѧ вода̀ и҆ ѡ҆мы́ютсѧ но́ги ва́ши, и҆ прохладите́сѧ под̾ дре́вомъ:

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.

⁵

и҆ принесꙋ̀ хлѣ́бъ, да ꙗ҆́сте, и҆ посе́мъ по́йдете въ пꙋ́ть сво́й, є҆гѡ́же ра́ди оу҆клони́стесѧ къ рабꙋ̀ ва́шемꙋ. И҆ реко́ша: та́кѡ сотворѝ, ꙗ҆́коже глаго́лалъ є҆сѝ.

⁶

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

⁶

И҆ потща́сѧ а҆враа́мъ въ сѣ́нь къ са́ррѣ и҆ речѐ є҆́й: оу҆скорѝ и҆ смѣсѝ трѝ мѣ̑ры мꙋкѝ чи́сты, и҆ сотворѝ потре́бники.

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.

⁷

И҆ течѐ а҆враа́мъ ко кра́вамъ, и҆ взѧ̀ телца̀ мла́да и҆ добра̀, и҆ дадѐ рабꙋ̀, и҆ оу҆скорѝ пригото́вити є҆̀.

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.

⁸

И҆ взѧ̀ ма́сло, и҆ млеко̀, и҆ телца̀, є҆го́же пригото́ва: и҆ предложѝ и҆̀мъ, и҆ ꙗ҆до́ша: са́мъ же стоѧ́ше пред̾ ни́ми под̾ дре́вомъ.

⁹

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

⁹

Рече́ же къ немꙋ̀: гдѣ̀ са́рра жена̀ твоѧ̀; Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща́въ, речѐ: сѐ, въ сѣ́ни.

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.

¹⁰

Рече́ же: (сѐ) возвраща́ѧсѧ прїидꙋ̀ къ тебѣ̀ во вре́мѧ сїѐ въ часы̀, и҆ роди́тъ сы́на са́рра жена̀ твоѧ̀. Са́рра же оу҆слы́ша пред̾ две́рьми сѣ́ни сꙋ́щи за ни́мъ.

¹¹

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

¹¹

А҆враа́мъ же и҆ са́рра ста̑ра (бѣ́ста,) заматерѣ̑вшаѧ во дне́хъ: и҆ преста́ша са́ррѣ быва́ти жє́нскаѧ.

¹²

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

¹²

Разсмѣѧ́сѧ же са́рра въ себѣ̀, глаго́лющи: не оу҆̀ бы́ло мѝ оу҆́бѡ досе́лѣ, господи́нъ же мо́й ста́ръ.

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.

¹³

И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь ко а҆враа́мꙋ: что̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ разсмѣѧ́сѧ са́рра въ себѣ̀, глаго́лющи: є҆да̀ и҆́стиннѡ рождꙋ̀; а҆́зъ же состарѣ́хсѧ.

¹⁴

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

¹⁴

Є҆да̀ и҆знемо́жетъ оу҆ бг҃а сло́во; въ сїѐ вре́мѧ возвращꙋ́сѧ къ тебѣ̀ въ часы̀, и҆ бꙋ́детъ са́ррѣ сы́нъ.

¹⁵

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

¹⁵

Ѿрече́сѧ же са́рра, глаго́лющи: не разсмѣѧ́хсѧ: оу҆боѧ́сѧ бо. И҆ речѐ є҆́й: нѝ, но разсмѣѧ́ласѧ є҆сѝ.

¹⁶

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

¹⁶

Воста́вше же ѿтꙋ́дꙋ мꙋ́жїе, воззрѣ́ша на лицѐ содо́ма и҆ гомо́рра: а҆враа́мъ же и҆дѧ́ше съ ни́ми, провожда́ѧ и҆̀хъ.

¹⁷

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

¹⁷

Гдⷭ҇ь же речѐ: є҆да̀ оу҆таю̀ а҆́зъ ѿ а҆враа́ма раба̀ моегѡ̀, ꙗ҆̀же а҆́зъ творю̀;

¹⁸

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

¹⁸

А҆враа́мъ же быва́ѧ бꙋ́детъ въ ꙗ҆зы́къ вели́къ и҆ мно́гъ, и҆ блгⷭ҇вѧ́тсѧ ѡ҆ не́мъ всѝ ꙗ҆зы́цы земні́и:

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.

¹⁹

вѣ́мъ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ заповѣ́сть сынѡ́мъ свои̑мъ и҆ до́мꙋ своемꙋ̀ по себѣ̀, и҆ сохранѧ́тъ пꙋти̑ гдⷭ҇ни твори́ти пра́вдꙋ и҆ сꙋ́дъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да наведе́тъ гдⷭ҇ь на а҆враа́ма всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка гл҃а къ немꙋ̀.

²⁰

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

²⁰

Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь: во́пль содо́мскїй и҆ гомо́ррскїй оу҆мно́жисѧ ко мнѣ̀, и҆ грѣсѝ и҆́хъ вели́цы ѕѣлѡ̀:

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.

²¹

соше́дъ оу҆̀бо оу҆зрю̀, а҆́ще по во́плю и҆́хъ грѧдꙋ́щемꙋ ко мнѣ̀ соверша́ютсѧ: а҆́ще же нѝ, да разꙋмѣ́ю.

²²

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

²²

И҆ ѡ҆брати́вшесѧ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ мꙋ́жїе, прїидо́ша въ содо́мъ: а҆враа́мъ же є҆щѐ бѧ́ше стоѧ́й пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ.

²³

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

²³

И҆ прибли́живсѧ а҆враа́мъ, речѐ: погꙋби́ши ли првⷣнаго съ нечести́вымъ, и҆ бꙋ́детъ првⷣникъ ꙗ҆́кѡ нечести́вый;

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?

²⁴

а҆́ще бꙋ́дꙋтъ пѧтьдесѧ́тъ првⷣницы во гра́дѣ, погꙋби́ши ли ѧ҆̀; не пощади́ши ли всегѡ̀ мѣ́ста пѧти́десѧти ра́ди првⷣныхъ, а҆́ще бꙋ́дꙋтъ въ не́мъ;

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?

²⁵

ника́коже ты̀ сотвори́ши по глаго́лꙋ семꙋ̀, є҆́же оу҆би́ти првⷣника съ нечести́вымъ, и҆ бꙋ́детъ првⷣникъ ꙗ҆́кѡ нечести́вый: ника́коже, сꙋдѧ́й все́й землѝ, не сотвори́ши ли сꙋда̀;

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.

²⁶

Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь: а҆́ще бꙋ́дꙋтъ въ содо́мѣхъ пѧтьдесѧ́тъ првⷣницы во гра́дѣ, ѡ҆ста́влю ве́сь гра́дъ и҆ всѐ мѣ́сто и҆́хъ ра́ди.

²⁷

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

²⁷

И҆ ѿвѣща́въ а҆враа́мъ, речѐ: нн҃ѣ нача́хъ глаго́лати ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ моемꙋ̀, а҆́зъ же є҆́смь землѧ̀ и҆ пе́пелъ:

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.

²⁸

а҆́ще же оу҆ма́лѧтсѧ пѧтьдесѧ́тъ првⷣницы въ четы́редесѧть пѧ́ть, погꙋби́ши ли четы́редесѧти пѧти́хъ ра́ди ве́сь гра́дъ; И҆ речѐ: не погꙋблю̀, а҆́ще ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋ та́мѡ четы́редесѧть пѧ́ть.

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.

²⁹

И҆ приложѝ є҆щѐ глаго́лати къ немꙋ̀, и҆ речѐ: а҆́ще же ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋтсѧ та́мѡ четы́редесѧть; И҆ речѐ: не погꙋблю̀ ра́ди четы́редесѧти.

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.

³⁰

И҆ речѐ: что̀, гдⷭ҇и, а҆́ще возглаго́лю; а҆́ще же ѡ҆брѧ́щетсѧ та́мѡ три́десѧть; И҆ речѐ: не погꙋблю̀ три́десѧтихъ ра́ди.

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.

³¹

И҆ речѐ: поне́же и҆́мамъ глаго́лати ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ: а҆́ще же ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋтсѧ та́мѡ два́десѧть; И҆ речѐ: не погꙋблю̀, а҆́ще ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋтсѧ та́мѡ два́десѧть.

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.

³²

И҆ речѐ: что̀, гдⷭ҇и, а҆́ще возглаго́лю є҆щѐ є҆ди́ною; а҆́ще же ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋтсѧ та́мѡ де́сѧть; И҆ речѐ: не погꙋблю̀ десѧти́хъ ра́ди.

³³

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

³³

Ѿи́де же гдⷭ҇ь, ꙗ҆́кѡ преста̀ гл҃ѧ ко а҆враа́мꙋ: и҆ а҆враа́мъ возврати́сѧ на мѣ́сто своѐ.
