| 1 | And the Lord appeared to him in the vale of Mambre as he was sitting at the door of his tent, in the very heat of the day. | Ὤφθη δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς τῇ δρυῒ τῇ Μαμβρῇ, καθημένου αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς αὐτοῦ μεσημβρίας. |
| 2 | And when he had lifted up his eyes, there appeared to him three men standing near him: and as soon as he saw them he ran to meet them from the door of his tent, and adored down to the ground. | Ἀναβλέψας δὲ τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ εἶδε, καὶ ἰδοὺ τρεῖς ἄνδρες εἱστήκεισαν ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἰδὼν, προσέδραμεν εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῖς ἀπὸ τῆς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν. |
| 3 | And he said: Lord, if I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away from thy servant: | Καὶ εἶπε, Κύριε, εἰ ἄρα εὗρον χάριν ἐναντίον σου, μὴ παρέλθῃς τὸν παῖδά σου. |
| 4 | But I will fetch a little water, and wash ye your feet, and rest ye under the tree. | Ληφθήτω δὴ ὕδωρ, καὶ νιψάτωσαν τοὺς πόδας ὑμῶν, καὶ καταψύξατε ὑπὸ τὸ δένδρον. |
| 5 | And I will set a morsel of bread, and strengthen ye your heart, afterwards you shall pass on: for therefore are you come aside to your servant. And they said: Do as thou hast spoken. | Καὶ λήψομαι ἄρτον, καὶ φάγεσθε. Καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο παρελεύσεσθε εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν ὑμῶν, οὗ ἕνεκεν ἐξεκλίνατε πρὸς τὸν παῖδα ὑμῶν. Καὶ εἶπεν, οὕτω ποίησον, καθὼς εἴρηκας. |
| 6 | Abraham made haste into the tent to Sara, and said to her: Make haste, temper together three measures of flour, and make cakes upon the hearth. | Καὶ ἔσπευσεν Ἁβραὰμ ἐπὶ τὴν σκηνὴν πρὸς Σάῤῥαν, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, σπεῦσον, καὶ φύρασον τρία μέτρα σεμιδάλεως, καὶ ποίησον ἐγκρυφίας. |
| 7 | And he himself ran to the herd, and took from thence a calf very tender and very good, and gave it to a young man: who made haste and boiled it. | Καὶ εἰς τὰς βόας ἔδραμεν Ἁβραὰμ, καὶ ἔλαβεν ἁπαλὸν μοσχάριον καὶ καλὸν, καὶ ἔδωκε τῷ παιδὶ, καὶ ἐτάχυνε τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτό. |
| 8 | He took also butter and milk, and the calf which he had boiled, and set before them: but he stood by them under the tree. | Ἔλαβε δὲ βούτυρον, καὶ γάλα, καὶ τὸ μοσχάριον ὃ ἐποίησε, καὶ παρέθηκεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἔφαγον· αὐτὸς δὲ παρειστήκει αὐτοῖς ὑπὸ τὸ δένδρον. |
| 9 | And when they had eaten, they said to him: Where is Sara thy wife? He answered: Lo, she is in the tent. | Εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν, ποῦ Σάῤῥα ἡ γυνή σου; ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ. |
| 10 | And he said to him: I will return and come to thee at this time, life accompanying and Sara thy wife shall have a son. Which when Sara heard, she laughed behind the door of the tent. | Εἶπε δὲ, ἐπαναστρέφων ἥξω πρὸς σὲ κατὰ τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον εἰς ὥρας, καὶ ἕξει υἱὸν Σάῤῥα ἡ γυνή σου. Σάῤῥα δὲ ἤκουσε πρὸς τῇ θύρᾳ τῆς σκηνῆς οὖσα ὄπισθεν αὐτοῦ. |
| 11 | Now they were both old, and far advanced in years, and it had ceased to be with Sara after the manner of women. | Ἁβραὰμ δὲ καὶ Σάῤῥα πρεσβύτεροι προβεβηκότες ἡμερῶν· ἐξέλιπε δὲ τῇ Σάῤῥᾳ γίνεσθαι τὰ γυναικεια. |
| 12 | And she laughed secretly, saying: After I am grown old and my lord is an old man, shall I give myself to pleasure? | Ἐγέλασε δὲ Σάῤῥα ἐν ἑαυτῇ λέγουσα, οὔπω μέν μοι γέγονεν ἕως τοῦ νῦν· ὁ δὲ κύριός μου πρεσβύτερος. |
| 13 | And the Lord said to Abraham: Why did Sara laugh, saying: Shall I who am an old woman bear a child indeed? | Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Ἁβραὰμ, τί ὅτι ἐγέλασε Σάῤῥα ἐν ἑαυτῇ, λέγουσα, ἆρά γε ἀληθῶς τέξομαι; ἐγὼ δὲ γεγήρακα. |
| 14 | Is there any thing hard to God? According to appointment I will return to thee at this same time, life accompanying, and Sara shall have a son. | Μὴ ἀδυνατήσει παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ ῥῆμα; εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον ἀναστρέψω πρὸς σὲ εἰς ὥρας, καὶ ἔσται τῇ Σάῤῥᾳ υἱός. |
| 15 | Sara denied, saying: I did not laugh: for she was afraid. But the Lord said, Nay: but thou didst laugh: | Ἠρνήσατο δὲ Σάῤῥα, λέγουσα, οὐκ ἐγέλασα· ἐφοβήθη γάρ. Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, οὐχὶ, ἀλλὰ ἐγέλασας. |
| 16 | And when the men rose up from thence, they turned their eyes towards Sodom: and Abraham walked with them, bringing them on the way. | Ἐξαναστάντες δὲ ἐκεῖθεν οἱ ἄνδρες κατέβλεψαν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον Σοδόμων καὶ Γομόῤῥας. Ἁβραὰμ δὲ συνεπορεύετο μετʼ αὐτῶν, συμπροπέμπων αὐτούς. |
| 17 | And the Lord said: Can I hide from Abraham what I am about to do: | Ὁ δὲ Κύριος εἶπε, οὐ μὴ κρύψω ἐγὼ ἀπὸ Ἁβραὰμ τοῦ παιδός μου ἃ ἐγὼ ποιῶ. |
| 18 | Seeing he shall become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the earth shall be blessed? | Ἁβραὰμ δὲ γινόμενος ἔσται εἰς ἔθνος μέγα καὶ πολὺ, καὶ ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν αὐτῷ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς. |
| 19 | For I know that he will command his children, and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord, and do judgment and justice: that for Abraham’s sake the Lord may bring to effect all the things he hath spoken unto him. | Ἤδειν γὰρ ὅτι συντάξει τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτὸν, καὶ φυλάξουσι τὰς ὁδοὺς Κυρίου, ποιεῖν δικαιοσύνην καὶ κρίσιν, ὅπως ἂν ἐπαγάγῃ Κύριος ἐπὶ Ἁβραὰμ πάντα ὅσα ἐλάλησε πρὸς αὐτόν. |
| 20 | And the Lord said: The cry of Sodom and Gomorrha is multiplied, and their sin is become exceedingly grievous. | Εἶπε δὲ Κύριος, κραυγὴ Σοδόμων καὶ Γομόῤῥας πεπλήθυνται πρὸς μὲ, καὶ αἱ ἁμαρτίαι αὐτῶν μεγάλαι σφόδρα. |
| 21 | I will go down and see whether they have done according to the cry that is come to me: or whether it be not so, that I may know. | Καταβὰς οὖν ὄψομαι, εἰ κατὰ τὴν κραυγὴν αὐτῶν τὴν ἐρχομενεην πρὸς μὲ, συντελοῦνται· εἰ δὲ μὴ, ἵνα γνῶ. |
| 22 | And they turned themselves from thence, and went their way to Sodom: but Abraham as yet stood before the Lord. | Καὶ ἀποστρέψαντες ἐκεῖθεν οἱ ἄνδρες, ἦλθον εἰς Σόδομα· Ἁβραὰμ δὲ ἔτι ἦν ἑστηκὼς ἐναντίον Κυρίου. |
| 23 | And drawing nigh he said: Wilt thou destroy the just with the wicked? | Καὶ ἐγγίσας Ἁβραὰμ, εἶπε, μὴ συναπολέσῃς δίκαιον μετὰ ἀσεβοῦς· καὶ ἔσται ὁ δίκαιος ὡς ὁ ἀσεβής. |
| 24 | If there be fifty just men in the city, shall they perish withal? and wilt thou not spare that place for the sake of the fifty just, if they be therein? | Ἐὰν ὦσι πεντήκοντα δίκαιοι ἐν τῇ πόλει, ἀπολεῖς αὐτούς; οὐκ ἀνήσεις πάντα τὸν τόπον ἕνεκεν τῶν πεντήκοντα δικαίων, ἐὰν ὦσιν ἐν αὐτῇ; |
| 25 | Far be it from thee to do this thing, and to slay the just with the wicked, and for the just to be in like case as the wicked, this is not beseeming thee: thou who judgest all the earth, wilt not make this judgment. | Μηδαμῶς σὺ ποιήσεις ὡς τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο, τοῦ ἀποκτεῖναι δίκαιον μετὰ ἀσεβοῦς, καὶ ἔσται ὁ δίκαιος ὡς ὁ ἀσεβής· μηδαμῶς· ὁ κρίνων πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν, οὐ ποιήσεις κρίσιν; |
| 26 | And the Lord said to him: If I find in Sodom fifty just within the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake. | Εἶπε δὲ Κύριος, ἐὰν ὦσιν ἐν Σοδόμοις πεντήκοντα δίκαιοι ἐν τῇ πόλει, ἀφήσω ὅλην τὴν πόλιν, καὶ πάντα τὸν τόπον διʼ αὐτούς. |
| 27 | And Abraham answered, and said: Seeing I have once begun, I will speak to my Lord, whereas I am dust and ashes. | Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς Ἁβραὰμ εἶπε, νῦν ἠρξάμην λαλῆσαι πρὸς τὸν Κύριόν μου· ἐγὼ δὲ εἰμὶ γῆ καὶ σποδός. |
| 28 | What if there be five less than fifty just persons? wilt thou for five and forty destroy the whole city? And he said: I will not destroy it, if I find five and forty. | Ἐὰν δὲ ἐλαττονωθῶσιν οἱ πεντήκοντα δίκαιοι εἰς τεσσαρακονταπέντε, ἀπολεῖς ἕνεκεν τῶν πέντε πᾶσαν τὴν πόλιν; καὶ εἶπεν, οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσω, ἐὰν εὕρω ἐκεῖ τεσσαρακονταπέντε. |
| 29 | And again he said to him: But if forty be found there, what wilt thou do? He said: I will not destroy it for the sake of forty. | Καὶ προσέθηκεν ἔτι λαλῆσαι πρὸς αὐτὸν, καὶ εἶπεν, ἐὰν δὲ εὑρεθῶσιν ἐκεῖ τεσσαράκοντα· καὶ εἶπεν, οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσω ἕνεκεν τῶν τεσσαράκοντα. |
| 30 | Lord, saith he, be not angry, I beseech thee, if I speak: What if thirty shall be found there? He answered: I will not do it, if I find thirty there. | Καὶ εἶπε, μή τι Κύριε ἐὰν λαλήσω; ἐὰν δὲ εὑρεθῶσιν ἐκεῖ τριάκοντα; καὶ εἶπεν, οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσω ἕνεκεν τῶν τριάκοντα. |
| 31 | Seeing, saith he, I have once begun, I will speak to my Lord. What if twenty be found there? He said: I will not destroy it for the sake of twenty. | Καὶ εἶπεν, ἐπειδὴ ἔχω λαλῆσαι πρὸς τὸν Κύριον, ἐὰν δὲ εὑρεθῶσιν ἐκεῖ εἴκοσι; καὶ εἶπεν, οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσω, ἐὰν εὕρω ἐκεῖ εἴκοσι. |
| 32 | I beseech thee, saith he, be not angry, Lord, if I speak yet once more: What if ten should be found there? And he said: I will not destroy it for the sake of ten. | Καὶ εἶπε, μή τι Κύριε ἐὰν λαλήσω ἔτι ἅπαξ; ἐὰν δὲ εὑρεθῶσιν ἐκεῖ δέκα; καὶ εἶπεν, οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσω ἕνεκεν τῶν δέκα. |
| 33 | And the Lord departed, after he had left speaking to Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place. | Ἀπῆλθε δὲ ὁ Κύριος, ὡς ἐπαύσατο λαλῶν τῷ Ἁβραάμ· καὶ Ἁβραὰμ ἀπέστρεψεν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ. |
