Genesis 18

KJV

1  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ appeared⁷²⁰⁰ unto⁴¹³ him in the plains⁴³⁶ of Mamre:⁴⁴⁷¹ and he¹⁹³¹ sat³⁴²⁷ in the tent¹⁶⁸ door⁶⁶⁰⁷ in the heat²⁵²⁷ of the day;³¹¹⁷

2  And he lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ his eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ and looked,⁷²⁰⁰ and, lo,²⁰⁰⁹ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ men³⁷⁶ stood⁵³²⁴ by⁵⁹²¹ him: and when he saw⁷²⁰⁰ them, he ran⁷³²³ to meet⁷¹²⁵ them from the tent door,^{4480 6607 168} and bowed himself⁷⁸¹² toward the ground,⁷⁷⁶

3  And said,⁵⁵⁹ My Lord,¹³⁶ if⁵¹⁸ now⁴⁹⁹⁴ I have found⁴⁶⁷² favor²⁵⁸⁰ in thy sight,⁵⁸⁶⁹ pass not away,^{5674 408} I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ from^{4480 5921} thy servant:⁵⁶⁵⁰

4  Let a little⁴⁵⁹² water,⁴³²⁵ I pray you,⁴⁹⁹⁴ be fetched,³⁹⁴⁷ and wash⁷³⁶⁴ your feet,⁷²⁷² and rest yourselves⁸¹⁷² under⁸⁴⁷⁸ the tree:⁶⁰⁸⁶

5  And I will fetch³⁹⁴⁷ a morsel⁶⁵⁹⁵ of bread,³⁸⁹⁹ and comfort⁵⁵⁸² ye your hearts;³⁸²⁰ after that³¹⁰ ye shall pass on:⁵⁶⁷⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ therefore^{5921 3651} are ye come⁵⁶⁷⁴ to⁵⁹²¹ your servant.⁵⁶⁵⁰ And they said,⁵⁵⁹ So³⁶⁵¹ do,⁶²¹³ as⁸³⁴ thou hast said.¹⁶⁹⁶

6  And Abraham⁸⁵ hastened⁴¹¹⁶ into the tent¹⁶⁸ unto⁴¹³ Sarah,⁸²⁸³ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Make ready quickly⁴¹¹⁶ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ measures⁵⁴²⁹ of fine⁵⁵⁶⁰ meal,⁷⁰⁵⁸ knead³⁸⁸⁸ it, and make⁶²¹³ cakes upon the hearth.⁵⁶⁹²

7  And Abraham⁸⁵ ran⁷³²³ unto⁴¹³ the herd,¹²⁴¹ and fetched³⁹⁴⁷ a calf^{1121 1241} tender⁷³⁹⁰ and good,²⁸⁹⁶ and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ it unto⁴¹³ a young man;⁵²⁸⁸ and he hasted⁴¹¹⁶ to dress⁶²¹³ it.

8  And he took³⁹⁴⁷ butter,²⁵²⁹ and milk,²⁴⁶¹ and the calf^{1121 1241} which⁸³⁴ he had dressed,⁶²¹³ and set⁵⁴¹⁴ it before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them; and he¹⁹³¹ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ by⁵⁹²¹ them under⁸⁴⁷⁸ the tree,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and they did eat.³⁹⁸

9  And they said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Where³⁴⁶ is Sarah⁸²⁸³ thy wife?⁸⁰² And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ in the tent.¹⁶⁸

10  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ I will certainly return^{7725 7725} unto⁴¹³ thee according to the time⁶²⁵⁶ of life;²⁴¹⁶ and, lo,²⁰⁰⁹ Sarah⁸²⁸³ thy wife⁸⁰² shall have a son.¹¹²¹ And Sarah⁸²⁸³ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it in the tent¹⁶⁸ door,⁶⁶⁰⁷ which¹⁹³¹ was behind³¹⁰ him.

11  Now Abraham⁸⁵ and Sarah⁸²⁸³ were old²²⁰⁵ and well stricken⁹³⁵ in age;³¹¹⁷ and it ceased²³⁰⁸ to be¹⁹⁶¹ with Sarah⁸²⁸³ after the manner⁷³⁴ of women.⁸⁰²

12  Therefore Sarah⁸²⁸³ laughed⁶⁷¹¹ within⁷¹³⁰ herself, saying,⁵⁵⁹ After³¹⁰ I am waxed old¹⁰⁸⁶ shall I have¹⁹⁶¹ pleasure,⁵⁷³⁰ my lord¹¹³ being old²²⁰⁴ also?

13  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Abraham,⁸⁵ Wherefore^{4100 2088} did Sarah⁸²⁸³ laugh,⁶⁷¹¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Shall I of a surety^{637 552} bear a child,³²⁰⁵ which⁵⁸⁹ am old?²²⁰⁴

14  Is any thing¹⁶⁹⁷ too hard⁶³⁸¹ for the LORD?^{4480 3068} At the time appointed⁴¹⁵⁰ I will return⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ thee, according to the time⁶²⁵⁶ of life,²⁴¹⁶ and Sarah⁸²⁸³ shall have a son.¹¹²¹

15  Then Sarah⁸²⁸³ denied,³⁵⁸⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹ I laughed⁶⁷¹¹ not;³⁸⁰⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ she was afraid.³³⁷² And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Nay;³⁸⁰⁸ but³⁵⁸⁸ thou didst laugh.⁶⁷¹¹

16  And the men³⁷⁶ rose up⁶⁹⁶⁵ from thence,^{4480 8033} and looked⁸²⁵⁹ toward^{5921 6440} Sodom:⁵⁴⁶⁷ and Abraham⁸⁵ went¹⁹⁸⁰ with⁵⁹⁷³ them to bring them on the way.⁷⁹⁷¹

17  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Shall I⁵⁸⁹ hide³⁶⁸⁰ from Abraham^{4480 85} that thing which⁸³⁴ I⁵⁸⁹ do;⁶²¹³

18  Seeing that Abraham⁸⁵ shall surely become^{1961 1961} a great¹⁴¹⁹ and mighty⁶⁰⁹⁹ nation,¹⁴⁷¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the nations¹⁴⁷¹ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ shall be blessed¹²⁸⁸ in him?

19  For³⁵⁸⁸ I know³⁰⁴⁵ him, that^{4616 834} he will command^{6680 853} his children¹¹²¹ and his household¹⁰⁰⁴ after³¹⁰ him, and they shall keep⁸¹⁰⁴ the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ to do⁶²¹³ justice⁶⁶⁶⁶ and judgment;⁴⁹⁴¹ that⁴⁶¹⁶ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ may bring⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ Abraham^{85 853} that which⁸³⁴ he hath spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ of⁵⁹²¹ him.

20  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Because³⁵⁸⁸ the cry²²⁰¹ of Sodom⁵⁴⁶⁷ and Gomorrah⁶⁰¹⁷ is great,⁷²³¹ and because³⁵⁸⁸ their sin²⁴⁰³ is very³⁹⁶⁶ grievous;³⁵¹³

21  I will go down³³⁸¹ now,⁴⁹⁹⁴ and see⁷²⁰⁰ whether they have done⁶²¹³ altogether³⁶¹⁷ according to the cry⁶⁸¹⁸ of it, which is come⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ me; and if⁵¹⁸ not,³⁸⁰⁸ I will know.³⁰⁴⁵

22  And the men³⁷⁶ turned their faces⁶⁴³⁷ from thence,^{4480 8033} and went¹⁹⁸⁰ toward Sodom:⁵⁴⁶⁷ but Abraham⁸⁵ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

23  And Abraham⁸⁵ drew near,⁵⁰⁶⁶ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Wilt thou also⁶³⁷ destroy⁵⁵⁹⁵ the righteous⁶⁶⁶² with⁵⁹⁷³ the wicked?⁷⁵⁶³

24  Peradventure¹⁹⁴ there be³⁴²⁶ fifty²⁵⁷² righteous⁶⁶⁶² within⁸⁴³² the city:⁵⁸⁹² wilt thou also⁶³⁷ destroy⁵⁵⁹⁵ and not³⁸⁰⁸ spare⁵³⁷⁵ the place⁴⁷²⁵ for⁴⁶¹⁶ the fifty²⁵⁷² righteous⁶⁶⁶² that⁸³⁴ are therein?⁷¹³⁰

25  That be far²⁴⁸⁶ from thee to do^{4480 6213} after this²⁰⁸⁸ manner,¹⁶⁹⁷ to slay⁴¹⁹¹ the righteous⁶⁶⁶² with⁵⁹⁷³ the wicked:⁷⁵⁶³ and that the righteous⁶⁶⁶² should be¹⁹⁶¹ as the wicked,⁷⁵⁶³ that be far²⁴⁸⁶ from thee: Shall not³⁸⁰⁸ the Judge⁸¹⁹⁹ of all³⁶⁰⁵ the earth⁷⁷⁶ do⁶²¹³ right?⁴⁹⁴¹

26  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ If⁵¹⁸ I find⁴⁶⁷² in Sodom⁵⁴⁶⁷ fifty²⁵⁷² righteous⁶⁶⁶² within⁸⁴³² the city,⁵⁸⁹² then I will spare⁵³⁷⁵ all³⁶⁰⁵ the place⁴⁷²⁵ for their sakes.⁵⁶⁶⁸

27  And Abraham⁸⁵ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold²⁰⁰⁹ now,⁴⁹⁹⁴ I have taken upon²⁹⁷⁴ me to speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ the Lord,¹³⁶ which⁵⁹⁵ am but dust⁶⁰⁸³ and ashes:⁶⁶⁵

28  Peradventure¹⁹⁴ there shall lack²⁶³⁷ five²⁵⁶⁸ of the fifty²⁵⁷² righteous:⁶⁶⁶² wilt thou destroy^{7843 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the city⁵⁸⁹² for lack of five?²⁵⁶⁸ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ If⁵¹⁸ I find⁴⁶⁷² there⁸⁰³³ forty⁷⁰⁵ and five,²⁵⁶⁸ I will not³⁸⁰⁸ destroy⁷⁸⁴³ it.

29  And he spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ him yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ again,³²⁵⁴ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Peradventure¹⁹⁴ there shall be forty⁷⁰⁵ found⁴⁶⁷² there.⁸⁰³³ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ I will not³⁸⁰⁸ do⁶²¹³ it for forty's sake.^{5668 705}

30  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Oh⁴⁹⁹⁴ let not⁴⁰⁸ the Lord¹³⁶ be angry,²⁷³⁴ and I will speak:¹⁶⁹⁶ Peradventure¹⁹⁴ there shall thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ be found⁴⁶⁷² there.⁸⁰³³ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ I will not³⁸⁰⁸ do⁶²¹³ it, if⁵¹⁸ I find⁴⁶⁷² thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ there.⁸⁰³³

31  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold²⁰⁰⁹ now,⁴⁹⁹⁴ I have taken upon²⁹⁷⁴ me to speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ the Lord:¹³⁶ Peradventure¹⁹⁴ there shall be twenty⁶²⁴² found⁴⁶⁷² there.⁸⁰³³ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ I will not³⁸⁰⁸ destroy⁷⁸⁴³ it for twenty's sake.^{5668 6242}

32  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Oh⁴⁹⁹⁴ let not⁴⁰⁸ the Lord¹³⁶ be angry,²⁷³⁴ and I will speak¹⁶⁹⁶ yet³⁸⁹ but this once:⁶⁴⁷¹ Peradventure¹⁹⁴ ten⁶²³⁵ shall be found⁴⁶⁷² there.⁸⁰³³ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ I will not³⁸⁰⁸ destroy⁷⁸⁴³ it for ten's sake.^{5668 6235}

33  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ went his way,¹⁹⁸⁰ as soon as⁸³⁴ he had left³⁶¹⁵ communing¹⁶⁹⁶ with⁴¹³ Abraham:⁸⁵ and Abraham⁸⁵ returned⁷⁷²⁵ unto his place.⁴⁷²⁵

1 ὤφθη δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ θεὸς πρὸς τῇ δρυὶ τῇ Μαμβρη καθημένου αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς αὐτοῦ μεσημβρίας

2 ἀναβλέψας δὲ τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ εἶδεν 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 καὶ εἶπεν κύριε εἰ ἄρα εὗρον χάριν ἐναντίον σου μὴ παρέλθῃς τὸν παῖδά σου

4 λημφθήτω δὴ ὕδωρ καὶ νιψάτωσαν τοὺς πόδας ὑμῶν καὶ καταψύξατε ὑπὸ τὸ δένδρον

5 καὶ λήμψομαι ἄρτον καὶ φάγεσθε καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο παρελεύσεσθε εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν ὑμῶν οὗ εἵνεκεν ἐξεκλίνατε πρὸς τὸν παῖδα ὑμῶν καὶ εἶπαν οὕτως ποίησον καθὼς εἴρηκας

6 καὶ ἔσπευσεν Αβρααμ ἐπὶ τὴν σκηνὴν πρὸς Σαρραν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ σπεῦσον καὶ φύρασον τρία μέτρα σεμιδάλεως καὶ ποίησον ἐγκρυφίας

7 καὶ εἰς τὰς βόας ἔδραμεν Αβρααμ καὶ ἔλαβεν μοσχάριον ἁπαλὸν καὶ καλὸν καὶ ἔδωκεν τῷ παιδί καὶ ἐτάχυνεν τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτό

8 ἔλαβεν δὲ βούτυρον καὶ γάλα καὶ τὸ μοσχάριον ὃ ἐποίησεν καὶ παρέθηκεν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐφάγοσαν αὐτὸς δὲ παρειστήκει αὐτοῖς ὑπὸ τὸ δένδρον

9 εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτόν ποῦ Σαρρα ἡ γυνή σου ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν ἰδοὺ ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ

10 εἶπεν δέ ἐπαναστρέφων ἥξω πρὸς σὲ κατὰ τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον εἰς ὥρας καὶ ἕξει υἱὸν Σαρρα ἡ γυνή σου Σαρρα δὲ ἤκουσεν πρὸς τῇ θύρᾳ τῆς σκηνῆς οὖσα ὄπισθεν αὐτοῦ

11 Αβρααμ δὲ καὶ Σαρρα πρεσβύτεροι προβεβηκότες ἡμερῶν ἐξέλιπεν δὲ Σαρρα γίνεσθαι τὰ γυναικεῖα

12 ἐγέλασεν δὲ Σαρρα ἐν ἑαυτῇ λέγουσα οὔπω μέν μοι γέγονεν ἕως τοῦ νῦν ὁ δὲ κύριός μου πρεσβύτερος

13 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Αβρααμ τί ὅτι ἐγέλασεν Σαρρα ἐν ἑαυτῇ λέγουσα ἆρά γε ἀληθῶς τέξομαι ἐγὼ δὲ γεγήρακα

14 μὴ ἀδυνατεῖ παρὰ τῷ θεῷ ῥῆμα εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον ἀναστρέψω πρὸς σὲ εἰς ὥρας καὶ ἔσται τῇ Σαρρα υἱός

15 ἠρνήσατο δὲ Σαρρα λέγουσα οὐκ ἐγέλασα ἐφοβήθη γάρ καὶ εἶπεν οὐχί ἀλλὰ ἐγέλασας

16 ἐξαναστάντες δὲ ἐκεῖθεν οἱ ἄνδρες κατέβλεψαν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον Σοδομων καὶ Γομορρας Αβρααμ δὲ συνεπορεύετο μετ᾽ αὐτῶν συμπροπέμπων αὐτούς

17 ὁ δὲ κύριος εἶπεν μὴ κρύψω ἐγὼ ἀπὸ Αβρααμ τοῦ παιδός μου ἃ ἐγὼ ποιῶ

18 Αβρααμ δὲ γινόμενος ἔσται εἰς ἔθνος μέγα καὶ πολύ καὶ ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν αὐτῷ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς

19 ᾔδειν γὰρ ὅτι συντάξει τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ μετ᾽ αὐτόν καὶ φυλάξουσιν τὰς ὁδοὺς κυρίου ποιεῖν δικαιοσύνην καὶ κρίσιν ὅπως ἂν ἐπαγάγῃ κύριος ἐπὶ Αβρααμ πάντα ὅσα ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτόν

20 εἶπεν δὲ κύριος κραυγὴ Σοδομων καὶ Γομορρας πεπλήθυνται καὶ αἱ ἁμαρτίαι αὐτῶν μεγάλαι σφόδρα

21 καταβὰς οὖν ὄψομαι εἰ κατὰ τὴν κραυγὴν αὐτῶν τὴν ἐρχομένην πρός με συντελοῦνται εἰ δὲ μή ἵνα γνῶ

22 καὶ ἀποστρέψαντες ἐκεῖθεν οἱ ἄνδρες ἦλθον εἰς Σοδομα Αβρααμ δὲ ἦν ἑστηκὼς ἐναντίον κυρίου

23 καὶ ἐγγίσας Αβρααμ εἶπεν μὴ συναπολέσῃς δίκαιον μετὰ ἀσεβοῦς καὶ ἔσται ὁ δίκαιος ὡς ὁ ἀσεβής

24 ἐὰν ὦσιν πεντήκοντα δίκαιοι ἐν τῇ πόλει ἀπολεῖς αὐτούς οὐκ ἀνήσεις πάντα τὸν τόπον ἕνεκεν τῶν πεντήκοντα δικαίων ἐὰν ὦσιν ἐν αὐτῇ

25 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 εἶπεν δὲ κύριος ἐὰν εὕρω ἐν Σοδομοις πεντήκοντα δικαίους ἐν τῇ πόλει ἀφήσω πάντα τὸν τόπον δι᾽ αὐτούς

27 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς Αβρααμ εἶπεν νῦν ἠρξάμην λαλῆσαι πρὸς τὸν κύριον ἐγὼ δέ εἰμι γῆ καὶ σποδός

28 ἐὰν δὲ ἐλαττονωθῶσιν οἱ πεντήκοντα δίκαιοι πέντε ἀπολεῖς ἕνεκεν τῶν πέντε πᾶσαν τὴν πόλιν καὶ εἶπεν οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσω ἐὰν εὕρω ἐκεῖ τεσσαράκοντα πέντε

29 καὶ προσέθηκεν ἔτι λαλῆσαι πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν ἐὰν δὲ εὑρεθῶσιν ἐκεῖ τεσσαράκοντα καὶ εἶπεν οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσω ἕνεκεν τῶν τεσσαράκοντα

30 καὶ εἶπεν μή τι κύριε ἐὰν λαλήσω ἐὰν δὲ εὑρεθῶσιν ἐκεῖ τριάκοντα καὶ εἶπεν οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσω ἐὰν εὕρω ἐκεῖ τριάκοντα

31 καὶ εἶπεν ἐπειδὴ ἔχω λαλῆσαι πρὸς τὸν κύριον ἐὰν δὲ εὑρεθῶσιν ἐκεῖ εἴκοσι καὶ εἶπεν οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσω ἕνεκεν τῶν εἴκοσι

32 καὶ εἶπεν μή τι κύριε ἐὰν λαλήσω ἔτι ἅπαξ ἐὰν δὲ εὑρεθῶσιν ἐκεῖ δέκα καὶ εἶπεν οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσω ἕνεκεν τῶν δέκα

33 ἀπῆλθεν δὲ κύριος ὡς ἐπαύσατο λαλῶν τῷ Αβρααμ καὶ Αβρααμ ἀπέστρεψεν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ

2 Cumque elevasset oculos, apparuerunt ei tres viri stantes prope eum: quos cum vidisset, cucurrit in occursum eorum de ostio tabernaculi, et adoravit in terram.

3 Et dixit: Domine, si inveni gratiam in oculis tuis, ne transeas servum tuum:

4 sed afferam pauxillum aquæ, et lavate pedes vestros, et requiescite sub arbore.

5 Ponamque buccellam panis, et confortate cor vestrum: postea transibitis: idcirco enim declinastis ad servum vestrum. Qui dixerunt: Fac ut locutus es.

6 Festinavit Abraham in tabernaculum ad Saram, dixitque ei: Accelera, tria sata similæ commisce, et fac subcinericios panes.

7 Ipse vero ad armentum cucurrit, et tulit inde vitulum tenerrimum et optimum, deditque puero: qui festinavit et coxit illum.

8 Tulit quoque butyrum et lac, et vitulum quem coxerat, et posuit coram eis: ipse vero stabat juxta eos sub arbore.

9 Cumque comedissent, dixerunt ad eum: Ubi est Sara uxor tua? Ille respondit: Ecce in tabernaculo est.

10 Cui dixit: Revertens veniam ad te tempore isto, vita comite, et habebit filium Sara uxor tua. Quo audito, Sara risit post ostium tabernaculi.

11 Erant autem ambo senes, provectæque ætatis, et desierant Saræ fieri muliebria.

12 Quæ risit occulte dicens: Postquam consenui, et dominus meus vetulus est, voluptati operam dabo?

13 Dixit autem Dominus ad Abraham: Quare risit Sara, dicens: Num vere paritura sum anus?

14 Numquid Deo quidquam est difficile? juxta condictum revertar ad te hoc eodem tempore, vita comite, et habebit Sara filium.

15 Negabit Sara, dicens: Non risi, timore perterrita. Dominus autem: Non est, inquit, ita: sed risisti.

16 Cum ergo surrexissent inde viri, direxerunt oculos contra Sodomam: et Abraham simul gradiebatur, deducens eos.

17 Dixitque Dominus: Num celare potero Abraham quæ gesturus sum:

18 cum futurus sit in gentem magnam, ac robustissimam, et benedicendæ sint in illo omnes nationes terræ?

19 Scio enim quod præcepturus sit filiis suis, et domui suæ post se ut custodiant viam Domini, et faciant judicium et justitiam: ut adducat Dominus propter Abraham omnia quæ locutus est ad eum.

20 Dixit itaque Dominus: Clamor Sodomorum et Gomorrhæ multiplicatus est, et peccatum eorum aggravatum est nimis.

21 Descendam, et videbo utrum clamorem qui venit ad me, opere compleverint; an non est ita, ut sciam.

22 Converteruntque se inde, et abierunt Sodomam: Abraham vero adhuc stabat coram Domino.

23 Et appropinquans ait: Numquid perdes justum cum impio?

24 si fuerint quinquaginta justi in civitate, peribunt simul? et non parces loco illi propter quinquaginta justos, si fuerint in eo?

25 Absit a te ut rem hanc facias, et occidas justum cum impio, fiatque justus sicut impius, non est hoc tuum: qui judicas omnem terram, nequaquam facies judicium hoc.

26 Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Si invenero Sodomis quinquaginta justos in medio civitatis, dimittam omni loco propter eos.

27 Respondensque Abraham, ait: Quia semel cœpi, loquar ad Dominum meum, cum sim pulvis et cinis.

28 Quid si minus quinquaginta justis quinque fuerint? delebis, propter quadraginta quinque, universam urbem? Et ait: Non delebo, si invenero ibi quadraginta quinque.

29 Rursumque locutus est ad eum: Sin autem quadraginta ibi inventi fuerint, quid facies? Ait: Non percutiam propter quadraginta.

30 Ne quæso, inquit, indigneris, Domine, si loquar: quid si ibi inventi fuerint triginta? Respondit: Non faciam, si invenero ibi triginta.

31 Quia semel, ait, cœpi loquar ad Dominum meum: quid si ibi inventi fuerint viginti? Ait: Non interficiam propter viginti.

32 Obsecro, inquit, ne irascaris, Domine, si loquar adhuc semel: quid si inventi fuerint ibi decem? Et dixit: Non delebo propter decem.

33 Abiitque Dominus, postquam cessavit loqui ad Abraham: et ille reversus est in locum suum.
