Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And the Lord appeared to him in the vale of Mambre as he was sitting at the door of his tent, in the very heat of the day.
1耶和華在 幔利 橡樹那裏向 亞伯拉罕 顯現出來。那時正熱， 亞伯拉罕 坐在帳棚門口，
2And when he had lifted up his eyes, there appeared to him three men standing near him: and as soon as he saw them he ran to meet them from the door of his tent, and adored down to the ground.
2舉目觀看，見有三個人在對面站着。他一見，就從帳棚門口跑去迎接他們，俯伏在地，
3And he said: Lord, if I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away from thy servant:
3說：「我主，我若在你眼前蒙恩，求你不要離開僕人往前去。
4But I will fetch a little water, and wash ye your feet, and rest ye under the tree.
4容我拿點水來，你們洗洗腳，在樹下歇息歇息。
5And I will set a morsel of bread, and strengthen ye your heart, afterwards you shall pass on: for therefore are you come aside to your servant. And they said: Do as thou hast spoken.
5我再拿一點餅來，你們可以加添心力，然後往前去。你們既到僕人這裏來，理當如此。」他們說：「就照你說的行吧。」
6Abraham made haste into the tent to Sara, and said to her: Make haste, temper together three measures of flour, and make cakes upon the hearth.
6亞伯拉罕 急忙進帳棚見 撒拉 ，說：「你速速拿三細亞細麵調和做餅。」
7And he himself ran to the herd, and took from thence a calf very tender and very good, and gave it to a young man: who made haste and boiled it.
7亞伯拉罕 又跑到牛群裏，牽了一隻又嫩又好的牛犢來，交給僕人，僕人急忙預備好了。
8He took also butter and milk, and the calf which he had boiled, and set before them: but he stood by them under the tree.
8亞伯拉罕 又取了奶油和奶，並預備好的牛犢來，擺在他們面前，自己在樹下站在旁邊，他們就吃了。
9And when they had eaten, they said to him: Where is Sara thy wife? He answered: Lo, she is in the tent.
9他們問 亞伯拉罕 說：「你妻子 撒拉 在哪裏？」他說：「在帳棚裏。」
10And he said to him: I will return and come to thee at this time, life accompanying and Sara thy wife shall have a son. Which when Sara heard, she laughed behind the door of the tent.
10三人中有一位說：「到明年這時候，我必要回到你這裏；你的妻子 撒拉 必生一個兒子。」 撒拉 在那人後邊的帳棚門口也聽見了這話。
11Now they were both old, and far advanced in years, and it had ceased to be with Sara after the manner of women.
11亞伯拉罕 和 撒拉 年紀老邁， 撒拉 的月經已斷絕了。
12And she laughed secretly, saying: After I am grown old and my lord is an old man, shall I give myself to pleasure?
12撒拉 心裏暗笑，說：「我既已衰敗，我主也老邁，豈能有這喜事呢？」
13And the Lord said to Abraham: Why did Sara laugh, saying: Shall I who am an old woman bear a child indeed?
13耶和華對 亞伯拉罕 說：「 撒拉 為甚麼暗笑，說：『我既已年老，果真能生養嗎？』
14Is there any thing hard to God? According to appointment I will return to thee at this same time, life accompanying, and Sara shall have a son.
14耶和華豈有難成的事嗎？到了日期，明年這時候，我必回到你這裏， 撒拉 必生一個兒子。」
15Sara denied, saying: I did not laugh: for she was afraid. But the Lord said, Nay: but thou didst laugh:
15撒拉 就害怕，不承認，說：「我沒有笑。」那位說：「不然，你實在笑了。」
16And when the men rose up from thence, they turned their eyes towards Sodom: and Abraham walked with them, bringing them on the way.
16三人就從那裏起行，向 所多瑪 觀看， 亞伯拉罕 也與他們同行，要送他們一程。
17And the Lord said: Can I hide from Abraham what I am about to do:
17耶和華說：「我所要做的事豈可瞞着 亞伯拉罕 呢？
18Seeing he shall become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the earth shall be blessed?
18亞伯拉罕 必要成為強大的國；地上的萬國都必因他得福。
19For I know that he will command his children, and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord, and do judgment and justice: that for Abraham’s sake the Lord may bring to effect all the things he hath spoken unto him.
19我眷顧他，為要叫他吩咐他的眾子和他的眷屬遵守我的道，秉公行義，使我所應許 亞伯拉罕 的話都成就了。」
20And the Lord said: The cry of Sodom and Gomorrha is multiplied, and their sin is become exceedingly grievous.
20耶和華說：「 所多瑪 和 蛾摩拉 的罪惡甚重，聲聞於我。
21I will go down and see whether they have done according to the cry that is come to me: or whether it be not so, that I may know.
21我現在要下去，察看他們所行的，果然盡像那達到我耳中的聲音一樣嗎？若是不然，我也必知道。」
22And they turned themselves from thence, and went their way to Sodom: but Abraham as yet stood before the Lord.
22二人轉身離開那裏，向 所多瑪 去；但 亞伯拉罕 仍舊站在耶和華面前。
23And drawing nigh he said: Wilt thou destroy the just with the wicked?
23亞伯拉罕 近前來，說：「無論善惡，你都要剿滅嗎？
24If there be fifty just men in the city, shall they perish withal? and wilt thou not spare that place for the sake of the fifty just, if they be therein?
24假若那城裏有五十個義人，你還剿滅那地方嗎？不為城裏這五十個義人饒恕其中的人嗎？
25Far be it from thee to do this thing, and to slay the just with the wicked, and for the just to be in like case as the wicked, this is not beseeming thee: thou who judgest all the earth, wilt not make this judgment.
25將義人與惡人同殺，將義人與惡人一樣看待，這斷不是你所行的。審判全地的主豈不行公義嗎？」
26And the Lord said to him: If I find in Sodom fifty just within the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake.
26耶和華說：「我若在 所多瑪 城裏見有五十個義人，我就為他們的緣故饒恕那地方的眾人。」
27And Abraham answered, and said: Seeing I have once begun, I will speak to my Lord, whereas I am dust and ashes.
27亞伯拉罕 說：「我雖然是灰塵，還敢對主說話。
28What if there be five less than fifty just persons? wilt thou for five and forty destroy the whole city? And he said: I will not destroy it, if I find five and forty.
28假若這五十個義人短了五個，你就因為短了五個毀滅全城嗎？」他說：「我在那裏若見有四十五個，也不毀滅那城。」
29And again he said to him: But if forty be found there, what wilt thou do? He said: I will not destroy it for the sake of forty.
29亞伯拉罕 又對他說：「假若在那裏見有四十個怎麼樣呢？」他說：「為這四十個的緣故，我也不做這事。」
30Lord, saith he, be not angry, I beseech thee, if I speak: What if thirty shall be found there? He answered: I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
30亞伯拉罕 說：「求主不要動怒，容我說，假若在那裏見有三十個怎麼樣呢？」他說：「我在那裏若見有三十個，我也不做這事。」
31Seeing, saith he, I have once begun, I will speak to my Lord. What if twenty be found there? He said: I will not destroy it for the sake of twenty.
31亞伯拉罕 說：「我還敢對主說話，假若在那裏見有二十個怎麼樣呢？」他說：「為這二十個的緣故，我也不毀滅那城。」
32I beseech thee, saith he, be not angry, Lord, if I speak yet once more: What if ten should be found there? And he said: I will not destroy it for the sake of ten.
32亞伯拉罕 說：「求主不要動怒，我再說這一次，假若在那裏見有十個呢？」他說：「為這十個的緣故，我也不毀滅那城。」
33And the Lord departed, after he had left speaking to Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place.
33耶和華與 亞伯拉罕 說完了話就走了； 亞伯拉罕 也回到自己的地方去了。
