The Latin Vulgate VUL
American Standard Version ASV
1 apparuit autem ei Dominus in convalle Mambre sedenti in ostio tabernaculi sui in ipso fervore diei
1
And Jehovah appeared unto him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
2 cumque elevasset oculos apparuerunt ei tres viri stantes propter eum quos cum vidisset cucurrit in occursum eorum de ostio tabernaculi et adoravit in terra
2
and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood over against him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,
3 et dixit Domine si inveni gratiam in oculis tuis ne transeas servum tuum
3
and said, My lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
4 sed adferam pauxillum aquae et lavate pedes vestros et requiescite sub arbore
4
let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
5 ponam buccellam panis et confortate cor vestrum postea transibitis idcirco enim declinastis ad servum vestrum qui dixerunt fac ut locutus es
5
and I will fetch a morsel of bread, and strengthen ye your heart; after that ye shall pass on: forasmuch as ye are come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
6 festinavit Abraham in tabernaculum ad Sarram dixitque ei adcelera tria sata similae commisce et fac subcinericios panes
6
And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.
7 ipse vero ad armentum cucurrit et tulit inde vitulum tenerrimum et optimum deditque puero qui festinavit et coxit illum
7
And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto the servant; and he hasted to dress it.
8 tulit quoque butyrum et lac et vitulum quem coxerat et posuit coram eis ipse vero stabat iuxta eos sub arbore
8
And 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 cumque comedissent dixerunt ad eum ubi est Sarra uxor tua ille respondit ecce in tabernaculo est
9
And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
10 cui dixit revertens veniam ad te tempore isto vita comite et habebit filium Sarra uxor tua quo audito Sarra risit post ostium tabernaculi
10
And he said, I will certainly return unto thee when the season cometh round; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.
11 erant autem ambo senes provectaeque aetatis et desierant Sarrae fieri muliebria
11
Now Abraham and Sarah were old, [and] well stricken in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
12 quae risit occulte dicens postquam consenui et dominus meus vetulus est voluptati operam dabo
12
And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
13 dixit autem Dominus ad Abraham quare risit Sarra dicens num vere paritura sum anus
13
And Jehovah said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, who am old?
14 numquid Deo est quicquam difficile iuxta condictum revertar ad te hoc eodem tempore vita comite et habebit Sarra filium
14
Is anything too hard for Jehovah? At the set time I will return unto thee, when the season cometh round, and Sarah shall have a son.
15 negavit Sarra dicens non risi timore perterrita Dominus autem non est inquit ita sed risisti
15
Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
16 cum ergo surrexissent inde viri direxerunt oculos suos contra Sodomam et Abraham simul gradiebatur deducens eos
16
And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 dixitque Dominus num celare potero Abraham quae gesturus sum
17
And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham that which I do;
18 cum futurus sit in gentem magnam ac robustissimam et benedicendae sint in illo omnes nationes terrae
18
seeing that Abraham had surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
19 scio enim quod praecepturus sit filiis suis et domui suae post se ut custodiant viam Domini et faciant iustitiam et iudicium ut adducat Dominus propter Abraham omnia quae locutus est ad eum
19
For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
20 dixit itaque Dominus clamor Sodomorum et Gomorrae multiplicatus est et peccatum earum adgravatum est nimis
20
And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
21 descendam et videbo utrum clamorem qui venit ad me opere conpleverint an non est ita ut sciam
21
I 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.
22 converteruntque se inde et abierunt Sodomam Abraham vero adhuc stabat coram Domino
22
And the men turned from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before Jehovah.
23 et adpropinquans ait numquid perdes iustum cum impio
23
And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou consume the righteous with the wicked?
24 si fuerint quinquaginta iusti in civitate peribunt simul et non parces loco illi propter quinquaginta iustos si fuerint in eo
24
Peradventure there are fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
25 absit a te ut rem hanc facias et occidas iustum cum impio fiatque iustus sicut impius non est hoc tuum qui iudicas omnem terram nequaquam facies iudicium
25
That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked; that be far from thee: shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
26 dixitque Dominus ad eum si invenero Sodomis quinquaginta iustos in medio civitatis dimittam omni loco propter eos
26
And Jehovah said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake.
27 respondens Abraham ait quia semel coepi loquar ad Dominum meum cum sim pulvis et cinis
27
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, who am but dust and ashes:
28 quid si minus quinquaginta iustis quinque fuerint delebis propter quinque universam urbem et ait non delebo si invenero ibi quadraginta quinque
28
peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I find there forty and five.
29 rursumque locutus est ad eum sin autem quadraginta inventi fuerint quid facies ait non percutiam propter quadraginta
29
And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for the forty's sake.
30 ne quaeso inquit indigneris Domine si loquar quid si inventi fuerint ibi triginta respondit non faciam si invenero ibi triginta
30
And he said, 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.
31 quia semel ait coepi loquar ad Dominum meum quid si inventi fuerint ibi viginti dixit non interficiam propter viginti
31
And 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 the twenty's sake.
32 obsecro inquit ne irascaris Domine si loquar adhuc semel quid si inventi fuerint ibi decem dixit non delebo propter decem
32
And 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 the ten's sake.
33 abiit Dominus postquam cessavit loqui ad Abraham et ille reversus est in locum suum
33
And Jehovah went his way, as soon as he had left off communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
