Abraham’s Three Visitors
18 Then the Lord appeared to Abraham at the oaks of Mamre(A) while he was sitting in the entrance of his tent during the heat of the day. 2 He looked up, and he saw three men standing near him.(B) When he saw them, he ran from the entrance of the tent to meet them and bowed to the ground. 3 Then he said, “My lord,[a] if I have found favor in your sight, please do not go on past your servant. 4 Let a little water be brought, that you may wash your feet and rest yourselves under the tree. 5 I will bring a bit of bread so that you may strengthen yourselves.[b] This is why you have passed your servant’s way. Later, you can continue on.”
“Yes,” they replied, “do as you have said.”
6 So Abraham hurried into the tent and said to Sarah, “Quick! Knead three measures[c] of fine flour and make bread.”[d] 7 Meanwhile, Abraham ran to the herd and got a tender, choice calf. He gave it to a young man, who hurried to prepare it. 8 Then Abraham took curds[e] and milk, and the calf that he had prepared, and set them before the men. He served[f] them as they ate under the tree.
Sarah Laughs
9 “Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked him.
“There, in the tent,” he answered.
10 The Lord said, “I will certainly come back to you in about a year’s time, and your wife Sarah will have a son!”(C) Now Sarah was listening at the entrance of the tent behind him.
11 Abraham and Sarah were old and getting on in years.[g] Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.[h](D) 12 So she laughed to herself: “After I have become shriveled up and my lord is old, will I have delight?”(E)
13 But the Lord asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Can I really have a baby when I’m old?’ 14 Is anything impossible for the Lord?(F) At the appointed time I will come back to you, and in about a year she will have a son.”
15 Sarah denied it. “I did not laugh,” she said, because she was afraid.
But He replied, “No, you did laugh.”
Abraham’s Plea for Sodom
16 The men got up from there and looked out over Sodom, and Abraham was walking with them to see them off. 17 Then the Lord said, “Should I hide what I am about to do from Abraham?(G) 18 Abraham is to become a great and powerful nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him.(H) 19 For I have chosen[i] him so that he will command his children and his house after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just. This is how the Lord will fulfill to Abraham what He promised him.” 20 Then the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is immense, and their sin is extremely serious. 21 I will go down(I) to see if what they have done justifies the cry that has come up to Me. If not, I will find out.”
22 The men turned from there and went toward Sodom(J) while Abraham remained standing before the Lord.[j] 23 Abraham stepped forward and said, “Will You really sweep away the righteous with the wicked?(K) 24 What if there are 50 righteous people in the city? Will You really sweep it away instead of sparing the place for the sake of the 50 righteous people who are in it? 25 You could not possibly do such a thing: to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. You could not possibly do that! Won’t the Judge of all the earth do what is just?”(L)
26 The Lord said, “If I find 50 righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”(M)
27 Then Abraham answered, “Since I have ventured to speak to the Lord—even though I am dust and ashes— 28 suppose the 50 righteous lack five. Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five?”
He replied, “I will not destroy it if I find 45 there.”
29 Then he spoke to Him again, “Suppose 40 are found there?”
He answered, “I will not do it on account of 40.”
30 Then he said, “Let the Lord not be angry, and I will speak further. Suppose 30 are found there?”
He answered, “I will not do it if I find 30 there.”
31 Then he said, “Since I have ventured to speak to the Lord, suppose 20 are found there?”
He replied, “I will not destroy it on account of 20.”
32 Then he said, “Let the Lord not be angry, and I will speak one more time.(N) Suppose 10 are found there?”
He answered, “I will not destroy it on account of 10.” 33 When the Lord had finished speaking with Abraham, He departed, and Abraham returned to his place.

Herren visar sig för Abraham
18 Herren visade sig för Abraham i eklunden vid Mamre. När Abraham satt i tältöppningen under den hetaste tiden på dagen, 2 tittade han upp och fick se tre män som stod mitt framför honom. Han skyndade sig då från tältöppningen för att möta dem och hälsade dem genom att buga sig med ansiktet mot marken.
3 ”Herre”, sa han, ”om du ser välvilligt på mig, gå inte förbi din tjänare. 4 Låt mig hämta vatten så att ni kan tvätta era fötter och sedan vila er under trädet, 5 och låt mig ta fram en bit mat som ni kan styrka er med innan ni fortsätter er resa – när ni nu ändå har stannat till hos er tjänare.” De svarade: ”Det låter bra. Gör som du har sagt!”
6 Då skyndade sig Abraham till tältet och sa till Sara: ”Skynda dig, ta tre mått[a] av det bästa mjölet och baka några brödkakor!” 7 Sedan sprang han ut till hjorden, valde ut en fin spädkalv och gav till en tjänare som skyndade sig att tillaga den. 8 Sedan dukade han fram tjockmjölk[b] och mjölk och den tillredda kalven och medan männen åt, stod han bredvid dem under trädet.
9 ”Var är din hustru Sara?” frågade de. ”I tältet”, svarade Abraham. 10 Då sa han[c]: ”Nästa år vid den här tiden kommer jag tillbaka igen, och då ska Sara ha en son.” Sara hörde detta där hon stod och lyssnade i tältöppningen bakom honom. 11 Men Abraham och Sara var båda mycket gamla, och Sara hade passerat den fruktsamma åldern. 12 Därför skrattade Sara tyst för sig själv: ”Skulle en vissnad kvinna i min ålder kunna känna lust? Min herre är också gammal.”
13 Då frågade Herren Abraham: ”Varför skrattade Sara? Varför sa hon att hon är för gammal för att få barn? 14 Finns det något som är omöjligt för Herren? Nästa år vid den här tiden ska jag komma tillbaka till dig igen, och då ska Sara ha en son.” 15 Men Sara blev rädd och sa: ”Jag skrattade inte!” ”Jo, det gjorde du visst!” svarade Herren.
16 Sedan reste männen sig upp och vände sig mot Sodom, och Abraham gick med dem ett stycke på vägen.
17 ”Varför skulle jag dölja min plan för Abraham?” tänkte Herren. 18 ”Abraham ska ju bli ett stort och mäktigt folk, och genom honom ska alla jordens folk bli välsignade. 19 Jag har utvalt honom för att leda sina barn och sin släkt på Herrens väg och göra vad som är rättfärdigt och riktigt. Då ska Herren uppfylla vad han lovat Abraham.”
Sodom och Gomorra
20 Och Herren sa: ”Klagoropet över Sodom och Gomorra är starkt, och de syndar mycket svårt. 21 Jag är på väg ner för att se efter om rapporterna verkligen är sanna. Om ryktet inte är sant, måste jag få veta det.” 22 Männen gick vidare mot Sodom, medan Abraham blev kvar hos Herren.[d] 23 Då steg Abraham fram till honom och frågade: ”Kommer du verkligen att förinta den rättfärdige tillsammans med den onde? 24 Tänk om det finns femtio rättfärdiga människor i staden! Kommer du att förgöra staden och inte förlåta den för deras skull? 25 Det skulle inte vara rätt! Du vill väl inte döda de rättfärdiga tillsammans med de onda? Då skulle du ju behandla rättfärdiga och onda precis på samma sätt! Så skulle du väl inte vilja göra? Är inte du, som är hela jordens domare, rättvis?” 26 Herren svarade: ”Om det finns femtio rättfärdiga där, så ska jag förlåta hela staden för deras skull.”
27 Då talade Abraham igen: ”Eftersom jag redan har börjat tala till dig, Herre, kan jag lika gärna fortsätta, även om jag bara är stoft och aska. 28 Tänk om det bara finns fyrtiofem? Kommer du då att förgöra staden därför att det fattas fem?” Han sa: ”Jag ska inte förgöra den, om jag hittar fyrtiofem.”
29 Då gick Abraham ännu längre och sa: ”Tänk om det bara finns fyrtio?” Han svarade: ”Jag ska inte göra det, om det finns fyrtio.”
30 ”Bli inte arg, Herre”, bad Abraham, ”utan låt mig fortsätta. Tänk om det bara finns trettio där?” Han svarade: ”Jag ska inte göra det, om jag finner trettio där.”
31 Då sa Abraham: ”Eftersom jag har vågat tala till Herren, vad om det bara finns tjugo?” Han svarade: ”Då ska jag inte förgöra den, för dessa tjugos skull.”
32 Slutligen sa Abraham: ”Bli inte vred, Herre, jag ska bara öppna munnen en gång till: tänk om det bara finns tio?” Och han sa: ”För dessa tio personers skull ska jag inte förgöra staden.”
33 När Herren hade slutat sitt samtal med Abraham, fortsatte han sin vandring och Abraham återvände hem.

The Three Visitors
18 The Lord appeared to Abraham(A) near the great trees of Mamre(B) while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent(C) in the heat of the day. 2 Abraham looked up(D) and saw three men(E) standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.(F)
3 He said, “If I have found favor in your eyes,(G) my lord,[a] do not pass your servant(H) by. 4 Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet(I) and rest under this tree. 5 Let me get you something to eat,(J) so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant.”
“Very well,” they answered, “do as you say.”
6 So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. “Quick,” he said, “get three seahs[b] of the finest flour and knead it and bake some bread.”(K)
7 Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf(L) and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it. 8 He then brought some curds(M) and milk(N) and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them.(O) While they ate, he stood near them under a tree.
9 “Where is your wife Sarah?”(P) they asked him.
“There, in the tent,(Q)” he said.
10 Then one of them said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year,(R) and Sarah your wife will have a son.”(S)
Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. 11 Abraham and Sarah were already very old,(T) and Sarah was past the age of childbearing.(U) 12 So Sarah laughed(V) to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and my lord(W) is old, will I now have this pleasure?”
13 Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’(X) 14 Is anything too hard for the Lord?(Y) I will return to you at the appointed time next year,(Z) and Sarah will have a son.”(AA)
15 Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, “I did not laugh.”
But he said, “Yes, you did laugh.”
Abraham Pleads for Sodom
16 When the men(AB) got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. 17 Then the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham(AC) what I am about to do?(AD) 18 Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation,(AE) and all nations on earth will be blessed through him.[c] 19 For I have chosen him(AF), so that he will direct his children(AG) and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord(AH) by doing what is right and just,(AI) so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him.”(AJ)
20 Then the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom(AK) and Gomorrah is so great(AL) and their sin so grievous(AM) 21 that I will go down(AN) and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.”
22 The men(AO) turned away and went toward Sodom,(AP) but Abraham remained standing before the Lord.[d](AQ) 23 Then Abraham approached him and said: “Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked?(AR) 24 What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare[e] the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it?(AS) 25 Far be it from you to do such a thing(AT)—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous(AU) and the wicked alike.(AV) Far be it from you! Will not the Judge(AW) of all the earth do right?”(AX)
26 The Lord said, “If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake.(AY)”
27 Then Abraham spoke up again: “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes,(AZ) 28 what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five people?”
“If I find forty-five there,” he said, “I will not destroy it.”
29 Once again he spoke to him, “What if only forty are found there?”
He said, “For the sake of forty, I will not do it.”
30 Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry,(BA) but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?”
He answered, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”
31 Abraham said, “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?”
He said, “For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it.”
32 Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more.(BB) What if only ten can be found there?”
He answered, “For the sake of ten,(BC) I will not destroy it.”
33 When the Lord had finished speaking(BD) with Abraham, he left,(BE) and Abraham returned home.(BF)

The Son of Promise(A)
18 Then the Lord appeared to him by [a]the (B)terebinth trees of Mamre, as he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day. 2 (C)So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; (D)and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, 3 and said, “My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant. 4 Please let (E)a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. 5 And (F)I will bring a morsel of bread, that (G)you may refresh your hearts. After that you may pass by, (H)inasmuch as you have come to your servant.”
They said, “Do as you have said.”
6 So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah and said, “Quickly, make ready three measures of fine meal; knead it and make cakes.” 7 And Abraham ran to the herd, took a tender and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hastened to prepare it. 8 So (I)he took butter and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree as they ate.
9 Then they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?”
So he said, “Here, (J)in the tent.”
10 And He said, “I will certainly return to you (K)according to the time of life, and behold, (L)Sarah your wife shall have a son.”
(Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.) 11 Now (M)Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and [b]Sarah (N)had passed the age of childbearing. 12 Therefore Sarah (O)laughed within herself, saying, (P)“After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my (Q)lord being old also?”
13 And the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’ 14 (R)Is anything too hard for the Lord? (S)At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”
15 But Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not laugh,” for she was afraid.
And He said, “No, but you did laugh!”
Abraham Intercedes for Sodom
16 Then the men rose from there and looked toward Sodom, and Abraham went with them (T)to send them on the way. 17 And the Lord said, (U)“Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, 18 since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be (V)blessed in him? 19 For I have known him, in order (W)that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the Lord, to do righteousness and justice, that the Lord may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.” 20 And the Lord said, “Because (X)the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their (Y)sin is very grave, 21 (Z)I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, (AA)I will know.”
22 Then the men turned away from there (AB)and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the Lord. 23 And Abraham (AC)came near and said, (AD)“Would You also (AE)destroy the (AF)righteous with the wicked? 24 Suppose there were fifty righteous within the city; would You also destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous that were in it? 25 Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so (AG)that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! (AH)Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
26 So the Lord said, (AI)“If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.”
27 Then Abraham answered and said, “Indeed now, I who am (AJ)but dust and ashes have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord: 28 Suppose there were five less than the fifty righteous; would You destroy all of the city for lack of five?”
So He said, “If I find there forty-five, I will not destroy it.”
29 And he spoke to Him yet again and said, “Suppose there should be forty found there?”
So He said, “I will not do it for the sake of forty.”
30 Then he said, “Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Suppose thirty should be found there?”
So He said, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”
31 And he said, “Indeed now, I have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord: Suppose twenty should be found there?”
So He said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of twenty.”
32 Then he said, (AK)“Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more: Suppose ten should be found there?”
(AL)And He said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of ten.” 33 So the Lord went His way as soon as He had finished speaking with Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.

Promesa del nacimiento de Isaac
18 Y el Señor se le apareció(A) a Abraham en el encinar[a] de Mamre(B), mientras él estaba sentado a la puerta de la tienda en el calor del día. 2 Cuando Abraham alzó los ojos y miró, había tres hombres(C) parados frente a él. Al verlos corrió de la puerta de la tienda a recibirlos, y se postró en tierra, 3 y dijo: «Señor mío[b], si ahora he hallado gracia ante sus ojos, le ruego que no pase de largo junto a su siervo. 4 Que se traiga[c] ahora un poco de agua y lávense ustedes los pies(D), y reposen[d] bajo el árbol. 5 Yo traeré[e] un pedazo de pan para que se alimenten[f](E) y después sigan adelante, puesto que han visitado[g] a su siervo». «Haz así como has dicho», dijeron ellos.
6 Entonces Abraham fue de prisa a la tienda donde estaba Sara, y dijo: «Apresúrate a preparar[h] 40 litros de flor de harina, amásala y haz tortas de pan». 7 Corrió también Abraham a la vacada y tomó un becerro tierno y de los mejores, y se lo dio al criado, que se apresuró a prepararlo. 8 Tomó también cuajada, leche y el becerro que había preparado, y lo puso delante de ellos. Mientras[i] comían, Abraham se quedó de pie junto a ellos bajo el árbol.
9 Entonces ellos le dijeron: «¿Dónde está Sara tu mujer?». «Allí[j] en la tienda», les respondió. 10 Y uno de ellos dijo: «Ciertamente volveré a ti por este tiempo el año próximo[k], y Sara tu mujer tendrá un hijo(F)». Y Sara estaba escuchando a la puerta de la tienda que estaba detrás de él.
11 Abraham y Sara eran ancianos, entrados en años[l](G). Y a Sara le había cesado ya la costumbre de las mujeres(H). 12 Sara se rió para sus adentros, diciendo: «¿Tendré placer después de haber envejecido(I), siendo también viejo mi señor(J)?».
13 Y el Señor dijo a Abraham: «¿Por qué se rió Sara, diciendo: “¿Concebiré en verdad[m] siendo yo tan vieja?”. 14 ¿Hay algo demasiado difícil[n] para el Señor(K)? Volveré a ti al tiempo señalado, por este tiempo el año próximo[o], y Sara tendrá un hijo(L)».
15 Pero Sara lo negó, porque tuvo miedo, diciendo: «No me reí». «No es así, sino que te has reído», le dijo el Señor.
Abraham intercede por Sodoma y Gomorra
16 Entonces los hombres se levantaron de allí, y miraron hacia Sodoma(M). Abraham iba con ellos para despedirlos. 17 Pero el Señor dijo: «¿Ocultaré a Abraham(N) lo que voy a hacer(O)? 18 Porque ciertamente Abraham llegará a ser una nación grande y poderosa, y en él serán benditas todas las naciones de la tierra(P). 19 Y Yo lo he escogido[p](Q) para que mande a sus hijos y a su casa después de él que guarden el camino del Señor(R), haciendo justicia y juicio, para que el Señor cumpla en[q] Abraham(S) todo lo que Él ha dicho acerca de él(T)».
20 Después el Señor dijo: «El clamor de Sodoma y Gomorra ciertamente es grande, y su pecado es sumamente grave(U). 21 Descenderé ahora(V) y veré si han hecho en todo conforme a su clamor, el cual ha llegado hasta Mí. Y si no, lo sabré».
22 Entonces los hombres se apartaron de allí y fueron hacia Sodoma(W), mientras Abraham estaba todavía de pie delante del Señor(X). 23 Y Abraham se acercó al Señor y dijo: «¿En verdad destruirás al justo junto con el impío(Y)? 24 Tal vez haya cincuenta justos dentro de la ciudad. ¿En verdad la destruirás y no perdonarás el lugar por amor a los cincuenta justos que hay en ella? 25 Lejos de Ti hacer tal cosa[r]: matar al justo con el impío, de modo que el justo y el impío sean tratados de la misma manera. ¡Lejos de Ti! El Juez de toda la tierra, ¿no hará justicia[s](Z)?».
26 Entonces el Señor le respondió: «Si hallo en Sodoma cincuenta justos dentro de la ciudad, perdonaré a todo el lugar por consideración a ellos(AA)». 27 Y Abraham respondió: «Ahora que me he atrevido[t] a hablar al Señor, yo que soy polvo y ceniza(AB). 28 Tal vez falten cinco para los cincuenta justos. ¿Destruirás por los cinco a toda la ciudad?». Y el Señor respondió: «No la destruiré si hallo allí cuarenta y cinco».
29 Abraham le habló de nuevo: «Tal vez se hallen allí cuarenta». Y Él respondió: «No lo haré, por consideración a los cuarenta». 30 Entonces Abraham dijo: «No se enoje ahora el Señor, y hablaré. Tal vez se hallen allí treinta». «No lo haré si hallo allí treinta», respondió el Señor. 31 Y Abraham dijo: «Ahora me he atrevido[u] a hablar al Señor. Tal vez se hallen allí veinte». Y Él respondió: «No la destruiré por consideración a los veinte». 32 Entonces Abraham dijo: «No se enoje ahora el Señor, y hablaré solo esta vez(AC). Tal vez se hallen allí diez». «No la destruiré por consideración a los diez», respondió el Señor. 33 Tan pronto como acabó de hablar con Abraham(AD), el Señor se fue, y Abraham volvió a su lugar.
