1 O o Rabbigaa u muuqday isaga oo ag jooga dhirtii Mamre, isagoo iridda teendhada fadhiya markii maalinta ugu kululayd.

Now the Lord appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, while he was sitting at the tent door in the heat of the day.

2 O o indhihiisii buu kor u taagay oo eegay, oo wuxuu arkay saddex nin oo hortiisa taagan: oo kolkuu arkay, ayuu ka orday iriddii teendhada inuu ka hor tago iyagii, kolkaasuu dhulka ku sujuuday,

When he lifted up his eyes and looked, behold, three men were standing opposite him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth,

3 o o wuxuu yidhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, haddaad raalli iga tahay, ha i dhaafin anigoo addoonkaaga ah.

and said, “ My Lord, if now I have found favor in Your sight, please do not pass Your servant by.

4 B iyo yar ha laydiin keeno, oo cagamaydha, oo geedka hoostiisa ku nasta:

Please let a little water be brought and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree;

5 o o waxaan idiin keeni doonaa wuxoogaa cunto ah, ee raaxaysta; waayo, waxaad u timaadeen addoonkiinna; markaas ka dib waad tegi doontaan. Oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Yeel sidaad tidhi.

and I will bring a piece of bread, that you may refresh yourselves; after that you may go on, since you have visited your servant.” And they said, “So do, as you have said.”

6 I braahimna dhaqsuu u galay teendhadii, oo Saarah u tegey, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Saddex koombo oo bur ah degdeg u diyaari, oo cajiin, oo kibis ka samee.

So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, “ Quickly, prepare three measures of fine flour, knead it and make bread cakes.”

7 O o Ibraahim xagga lo'dii buu ku orday, oo wuxuu soo kaxeeyey dibi yar oo dhaylo ah oo wanaagsan, oo wuxuu u dhiibay nin dhallinyaro ah, isaguna dhaqsuu u diyaariyey.

Abraham also ran to the herd, and took a tender and choice calf and gave it to the servant, and he hurried to prepare it.

8 K olkaasuu u qaaday subag, iyo caano, iyo dibigii uu diyaariyey, oo hortooduu dhigay; isna dhinacooduu istaagay geedkii hoostiisii; iyana way cuneen.

He took curds and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and placed it before them; and he was standing by them under the tree as they ate.

9 O o waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Meeday bilcantaadii Saarah? Markaasuu yidhi, Waa taa; teendhaday ku jirtaa.

Then they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” And he said, “There, in the tent.”

10 W uxuuna ku yidhi, Hubaal waan kuu soo noqon doonaa markii xilligu soo wareego; oo bal ogow, naagtaada Saarah wiil bay dhali doontaaye. Saarahna way maqashay, iyadoo joogta iriddii teendhada oo ka dambaysay isaga.

He said, “ I will surely return to you at this time next year; and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son.” And Sarah was listening at the tent door, which was behind him.

11 H addaba Ibraahim iyo Saarah way da' weynaayeen; gabow bayna la dhaceen; caadadii naaguhuna Saarah way ka joogsatay.

Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; Sarah was past childbearing.

12 S aarahna qalbigay ka qososhay, iyadoo leh, Ma anigoo gaboobay baan farxad heli doonaa, iyadoo sayidkayguna gaboobay?

Sarah laughed to herself, saying, “ After I have become old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”

13 R abbiguna wuxuu Ibraahim ku yidhi, Saarah maxay u qososhay, iyadoo leh, Runtii ma ilmaan dhali doonaa, anoo gaboobay?

And the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I indeed bear a child, when I am so old?’

14 M a wax Rabbiga ku adag baa jira? Wakhtigii la ballamay baan kugu soo noqon doonaa, markii xilligu soo wareego, oo Saarah wiil bay dhali doontaa.

Is anything too difficult for the Lord ? At the appointed time I will return to you, at this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”

15 M arkaasaa Saarah dafirtay oo tidhi, Ma aan qoslin; maxaa yeelay, way cabsatay. Oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Maya, laakiin waad qososhay. Calaacalkii Ibraahim U Calaacalay Sodom

Sarah denied it however, saying, “I did not laugh”; for she was afraid. And He said, “No, but you did laugh.”

16 N imankiina halkaas way ka kaceen, oo waxay u jeesteen xagga Sodom: Ibraahimna wuu raacay inuu sagootiyo iyaga.

Then the men rose up from there, and looked down toward Sodom; and Abraham was walking with them to send them off.

17 R abbiguna wuxuu yidhi, Miyaan Ibraahim ka qariyaa waxaan samaynayo,

The Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do,

18 M axaa yeelay, hubaal Ibraahim wuxuu noqon doonaa quruun weyn oo xoog leh, oo quruumaha dhulka oo dhammu isagay ku barakoobi doonaan?

since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed?

19 W aayo, waan garanayaa isaga, inuu carruurtiisa iyo kuwa gurigiisa jooga ku amri doono, inay jidka Rabbiga xajiyaan inay sameeyaan xaqnimo iyo caaddilnimo; si uu Rabbigu Ibraahim ugu soo dejiyo wixii uu kaga hadlay.

For I have chosen him, so that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice, so that the Lord may bring upon Abraham what He has spoken about him.”

20 R abbiguna wuxuu yidhi, Qaylada Sodom iyo Gomora way badatay, dembigooduna aad buu u weynaaday.

And the Lord said, “ The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is exceedingly grave.

21 H addaba waan degi doonaa, oo waxaan arki doonaa inay wada sameeyeen sida qayladu ii soo gaadhay iyo in kale; haddaanay wada samaynna, waan ogaan doonaa.

I will go down now, and see if they have done entirely according to its outcry, which has come to Me; and if not, I will know.”

22 O o nimankii halkaasay ka noqdeen oo waxay tageen xagga Sodom: laakiinse Ibraahim weli wuxuu hor taagnaa Rabbiga.

Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, while Abraham was still standing before the Lord.

23 O o Ibraahim baa u dhowaaday, oo yidhi, Miyaad kuwa xaqa ah la baabbi'inaysaa kuwa sharka fala?

Abraham came near and said, “ Will You indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked?

24 M indhaa waxaa magaalada jooga konton xaq ah. De miyaad baabbi'inaysaa meesha oo aadan ugu tudhaynin kontonka xaqa ah ee jooga aawadood?

Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; will You indeed sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous who are in it?

25 Y aanay noqon inaad sidaas samayso, inaad kuwa xaqa ah la dishid kuwa sharka fala, oo sidaas kuwa xaqa ahu ay kula mid noqdaan kuwa sharka fala, taas yaanay noqon. Dunida oo dhan Xaakinkeedu miyuusan xaq samayn doonin?

Far be it from You to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth deal justly?”

26 M arkaasaa Rabbigu yidhi, Haddaan Sodom ka helo konton qof oo xaq ah oo magaalada jooga, de markaas meeshaa oo dhan waxaan ugu tudhi doonaa iyaga daraaddood.

So the Lord said, “ If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place on their account.”

27 O o Ibraahimna wuu jawaabay oo yidhi, Bal eeg, waxaan isu diray inaan Sayidka la hadlo, anoo ciid iyo dambas ah.

And Abraham replied, “Now behold, I have ventured to speak to the Lord, although I am but dust and ashes.

28 M indhaa kontonka xaqa ah shan baa ka dhiman; miyaad magaalada oo dhan u baabbi'in hadday shanu ka dhiman tahay? Markaasuu yidhi, Baabbi'in maayo haddaan meeshaas shan iyo afartan ka helo.

Suppose the fifty righteous are lacking five, will You destroy the whole city because of five?” And He said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.”

29 K olkaasuu mar kale la hadlay, oo yidhi, Mindhaa waxaa halkaas laga heli afartan. Markaasuu yidhi, Afartanka aawadood ayaanan u baabbi'inayn.

He spoke to Him yet again and said, “Suppose forty are found there?” And He said, “I will not do it on account of the forty.”

30 O o wuxuu yidhi, Sayidku yuusan cadhoon, waan la hadlayaaye. Mindhaa waxaa halkaas laga heli soddon. Markaasuu yidhi, Baabbi'in maayo haddaan soddon halkaas ka helo.

Then he said, “Oh may the Lord not be angry, and I shall speak; suppose thirty are found there?” And He said, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”

31 M arkaasuu yidhi, Bal eeg, waxaan isu diray inaan Sayidka la hadlo: mindhaa waxaa halkaas laga heli labaatan. Markaasuu yidhi, Labaatanka daraaddood ayaanan u baabbi'inayn.

And he said, “Now behold, I have ventured to speak to the Lord; suppose twenty are found there?” And He said, “I will not destroy it on account of the twenty.”

32 O o wuxuu yidhi, Sayidku yuusan cadhoon, oo weli waan la hadlayaaye, waase markan keliya. Mindhaa waxaa halkaas laga heli toban. Wuxuuna yidhi, Tobanka daraaddood ayaanan u baabbi'inayn.

Then he said, “ Oh may the Lord not be angry, and I shall speak only this once; suppose ten are found there?” And He said, “I will not destroy it on account of the ten.”

33 R abbiguna wuu iska tegey markuu Ibraahim la dhammeeyey hadalkii, Ibraahimna meeshiisii buu ku noqday.

As soon as He had finished speaking to Abraham the Lord departed, and Abraham returned to his place.
