Ibulayimu n’Abagenyi Abasatu
118:1 Lub 13:18; 14:13Awo Mukama n’alabikira Ibulayimu mu mivule gya Mamule, mu ttuntu ng’atudde mu mulyango gwa weema ye. 218:2 nny 16, 22; Lub 32:24; Yos 5:13; Bal 13:6-11; Beb 13:2Bwe yasitula amaaso ge n’alaba, era laba, abasajja basatu nga bayimiridde mu maaso ge. Bwe yabalaba, n’adduka okuva mu mulyango gwa weema ye, okubasisinkana n’agwa wansi, 3n’agamba nti, “Mukama wange obanga ndabye ekisa mu maaso go, toyita ku muddu wo. 418:4 Lub 19:2; 43:24Leka tuleete otuzzi munaabe ku bigere, muwummuleko wano wansi w’omuti, 518:5 Bal 13:15nga bwe ndeeta omugaati mulyeko muddemu amaanyi, mulyoke mugende, anti muzze eri muddu wammwe.”
Ne bamugamba nti, “Kola nga bw’ogambye.”
6Ibulayimu n’ayanguwa okugenda eri Saala, n’amugamba nti, “Teekateeka mangu kilo kkumi na mukaaga ez’obutta okande ofumbire mangu abagenyi emmere.”
7Ibulayimu n’agenda bunnambiro mu kisibo n’aggyamu ennyana, ento era ennungi n’agiwa omu ku bavubuka18:7 Akyayinza okuba nga yali Isimayiri eyayanguwa okugifumba. 818:8 Lub 19:3Awo n’addira omuzigo n’amata n’ennyana eyafumbibwa n’abiteeka mu maaso gaabwe; n’ayimirira we baali, wansi w’omuti nga balya. 9Ne bamubuuza nti, “Saala mukyala wo ali ludda wa?” N’addamu nti, “Ali mu weema.”
1018:10 Bar 9:9*Mukama n’amugamba nti, “Ddala ndikomawo gy’oli mu kiseera nga kino, era Saala mukazi wo alizaala omwana owoobulenzi.”
Ne Saala yali awuliriza ng’ali mu mulyango gwa weema emabega we. 1118:11 a Lub 17:17 b Bar 4:19Mu kiseera kino Ibulayimu ne Saala baali bakaddiye nnyo nga Saala takyali na mu nsonga z’abakazi. 1218:12 a Lub 17:17; 21:6 b 1Pe 3:6Awo Saala n’asekera muli ng’agamba nti, “Nga nkaddiye, nga ne baze akaddiye, ndisanyusibwa?”
13Mukama n’abuuza Ibulayimu nti, “Lwaki Saala asese ng’agamba nti, ‘Ndiyinza okuzaala omwana nga nkaddiye?’ 1418:14 Yer 32:17, 27; Zek 8:6; Mat 19:26; Luk 1:37; Bar 4:21Waliwo ekirema Mukama? Omwaka ogujja, mu kiseera kyennyini, ndikomawo gy’oli, ne Saala alizaala omwana owoobulenzi.”
15Naye Saala ne yeegaana ng’agamba nti, “Si sese,” kubanga yali atidde.
N’amuddamu nti, “Nedda osese.”
Ibulayimu Yeegayiririra Sodomu
16Awo abasajja bwe bavaayo ne bagenda, ne boolekera oluuyi lwa Sodomu18:16 Sodomu kikyali mu kifo kye kimu we kyabeeranga, okudda mu bukiikaddyo bw’Ennyanja ey’Omunnyo; Ibulayimu n’abawerekerako. 1718:17 a Am 3:7 b Lub 19:24Mukama n’agamba mu mutima gwe nti, “Ibulayimu namukweka kye ŋŋenda okukola? 1818:18 Bag 3:8*Ibulayimu agenda kufuuka eggwanga eddene, ery’amaanyi, era mu ye, amawanga gonna mwe galiweerwa omukisa. 1918:19 a Ma 4:9-10; 6:7 b Yos 24:15; Bef 6:4Mmulonze alagire abaana be n’abantu be abaliddawo okukwatanga ekkubo lya Mukama nga bakola eby’obutuukirivu era nga ba mazima, Mukama alyoke atuukirize ekyo kye yasuubiza Ibulayimu.”
20Awo Mukama n’agamba nti, “Olw’okunkaabirira okusukkiridde olw’ebibi bya Sodomu ne Ggomola ebingi ennyo, 2118:21 Lub 11:5nzija kukka ndabe obanga ddala bakozi ba bibi ng’okunkaabirira olw’ebibi byabwe okutuuse gye ndi bwe kuli, era obanga si bwe kiri nnaamanya.”
2218:22 Lub 19:1Awo abasajja ne bakyuka okuva awo, ne batambula okwolekera Sodomu; naye Ibulayimu n’asigala ng’akyayimiridde mu maaso ga Mukama. 2318:23 Kbl 16:22Awo Ibulayimu n’amusemberera n’agamba nti, “Ddala olizikiriza abatuukirivu awamu n’ababi? 2418:24 Yer 5:1Singa mu kibuga mulimu abatuukirivu amakumi ataano onookizikiriza n’otokisonyiwa olw’abatuukirivu amakumi ataano abakirimu? 2518:25 Yob 8:3, 20; Zab 58:11; 94:2; Is 3:10-11; Bar 3:6Kireme okuba gy’oli okukola ekintu bwe kityo, okutta abatuukirivu awamu n’ababi, abatuukirivu ne benkana n’ababi! Kireme kuba bwe kityo! Omulamuzi ow’ensi yonna teyandisaanye akole kituufu?”
2618:26 Yer 5:1Mukama n’agamba nti, “Bwe nnaasanga mu Sodomu abatuukirivu amakumi ataano mu kibuga omwo nzija kusonyiwa ekibuga kyonna ku lwabwe.”
2718:27 Lub 2:7; 3:19; Yob 30:19; 42:6Ibulayimu n’addamu nti, “Laba nnyinziza okwogera ne Mukama, nze ani, nze enfuufu n’evvu! 28Singa abatuukirivu babulako bataano okuwera amakumi ataano, onoozikiriza ekibuga kubanga kubulako bataano?”
N’amuddamu nti, “Sijja kukizikiriza, bwe nnaasangamu abatuukirivu amakumi ana mu abataano abampulira.”
29Ate Ibulayimu n’amugamba nti, “Singa musangibwamu amakumi ana.”
Mukama n’amuddamu nti, “Ku lw’amakumi ana sijja kukizikiriza.”
30Ate n’agamba nti, “Kale nno Mukama aleme okunsunguwalira, nange nnaayogera. Singa musangibwamu amakumi asatu.”
N’addamu nti, “Sijja kukizikiriza singa musangibwamu amakumi asatu.”
31N’agamba nti, “Laba ŋŋumye ne njogera ne Mukama. Singa musangibwamu amakumi abiri.”
N’agamba nti, “Ku lw’amakumi abiri sijja kukizikiriza.”
3218:32 a Bal 6:39 b Yer 5:1Ate n’agamba nti, “Kale Mukama aleme okukwatibwa obusungu, nnaayongera okwogera, naye luno lwokka. Singa kkumi lye linaasangibwamu.”
N’addamu nti, “Ku lw’abo ekkumi sijja kukizikiriza.”
33Mukama bwe yamala okwogera ne Ibulayimu n’agenda, ne Ibulayimu n’addayo ewuwe.
1And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;18.1 plain: Heb. plains 2And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, 3And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: 4Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: 5And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.18.5 comfort: Heb. stay18.5 are…: Heb. you have passed 6And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.18.6 Make ready…: Heb. Hasten 7And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it. 8And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.
9¶ And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. 10And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. 11Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. 12Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? 13And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? 14Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. 15Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
16¶ And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. 17And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 18Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. 20And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; 21I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. 22And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
23¶ And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 24Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? 25That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? 26And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. 27And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes: 28Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. 29And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty’s sake. 30And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. 31And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake. 32And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake. 33And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
