Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1The LORD appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.
1Na LEUM GOD El sikyang nu sel Abraham ke insak oal sunal Mamre. Ke Abraham el muta ke mutunoa in lohm nuknuk sel, ke pacl na fol ke len uh,
2He lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw that three men stood near him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,
2el ngetak ac liye mwet tolu tu insac. Pacl se na el liyalosyak, el yula in osun nu selos. El faksufi
3and said, “My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please don’t go away from your servant.
3ac fahk, “Mwet kacto, nunak munas nimet fahsr aliki lohm sik uh ac tia tui. Nga inge in kulansupwekowos.
4Now let a little water be fetched, wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
4Lela ngan use kutu kof in ohlla niowos. Kowos ku in monglawin ye lulin sak soko inge.
5I will get a piece of bread so you can refresh your heart. After that you may go your way, now that you have come to your servant.” They said, “Very well, do as you have said.”
5Nga fah use pac kutu mwe mongo in akkeye kowos, na kowos fah sifilpa fahsr. Kowos arulana akmwetyeyu ke kowos tuku nu lohm sik uh. Ke ma inge, fuhlema nga in kulansup nu suwos.” Ac eltal fahk nu sel, “Tarilana. Kut ac wi ma kom fahk an.”
6Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Quickly prepare three seahs of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.”
6Abraham el sulaklak na som nu in lohm nuknuk uh ac fahk nu sel Sarah, “Aksaye, eis sie pak in flao wowo an, kasla, ac sang orauk kutu cake ah.”
7Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress it.
7Na el sifilpa yula nu yen un kosro uh muta we, ac sulela cow fusr na fisrasr ikwa ac factfat soko, ac sang nu sin mwet kulansap se, su sulaklak na akoela.
8He took butter, milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them. He stood by them under the tree, and they ate.
8Ac el us kutu butter, milk, ac ikwen kosro, ac filiya mwe mongo inge ye mutun mwet tolu ah. Na el tupan enenu lalos ke elos mongo ye sak soko ah.
9They asked him, “Where is Sarah, your wife?” He said, “There, in the tent.”
9Na elos siyuk sel, “El aya Sarah, mutan kiom?” Ac el fahk, “El a na lohm ah.”
10He said, “I will certainly return to you at about this time next year; and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son.” Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.
10Na sie selos fahk, “Malem eu tukun misenge nga ac foloko, na ac fah oasr wen se natul Sarah, mutan kiom.” Sarah el tu tokol ke mutunoa in lohm nuknuk uh, ac porongo.
11Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.
11Abraham ac Sarah arulana matuoh, ac tui musen mutan lal Sarah.
12Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”
12Ouinge Sarah el israsrla ac nunku in el sifacna, “Inge ke nga matuoh ac wanginla kuiyuk, ya nga ac srakna pwar in oan yurin mukul tumuk? Saya, el arulana matuoh pac.”
13The LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Will I really bear a child when I am old?’
13Na LEUM GOD El siyuk sel Abraham, “Efu Sarah el ku israsr ac fahk, ‘Ya pwaye ku in oasr tulik se nutik ke nga arulana matuoh?’
14Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes around, and Sarah will have a son.”
14Ya oasr ma LEUM GOD El kofla nu kac? Oana ke nga fahk tari, tukun malem eu nga fah foloko, na ac fah oasr wen se natul Sarah.”
15Then Sarah denied it, saying, “I didn’t laugh,” for she was afraid. He said, “No, but you did laugh.”
15Ke sripen Sarah el sangeng, el lafwekin ac fahk, “Nga tiana israsr.” El topuk, “Pwaye, kom israsr.”
16The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.
16Na mwet ah tuyak in som, ac Abraham el welulos in wilkas nu selos. Na elos som nu ke acn se ma elos ac ku in ngeti ac liye acn Sodom.
17The LORD said, “Will I hide from Abraham what I do,
17Ac LEUM GOD El fahk insial sifacna, “Nga fah tia okanla nu sel Abraham ma nga akola in oru.
18since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him?
18Fwilin tulik natul ac fah orala sie mutunfacl lulap ac ku, ac nga fah akinsewowoye mutunfacl nukewa kacl.
19For 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 the LORD, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that the LORD may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him.”
19Nga sulella ke sripen nga enenu elan ku in sapsap nu sin wen natul ac fwil nukewa tokol tuh elos in akosyu ac in oru ma pwaye ac suwohs. Elos fin akosyu, nga fah oru ma nukewa ma nga wulela tari kac nu sel.”
20The LORD said, “Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,
20Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Abraham, “Oasr tukak na koluk lain acn Sodom ac Gomorrah, ac ma koluk lalos arulana yohk.
21I will go down now, and see whether their deeds are as bad as the reports which have come to me. If not, I will know.”
21Nga enenu in oatula ac konauk lah ma tukakinyuk elos kac inge pwaye ku sutuu.”
22The men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
22Na mwet luo ah tuyak som tulanya acn Sodom, tusruktu LEUM GOD El srakna oasr yorol Abraham.
23Abraham came near, and said, “Will you consume the righteous with the wicked?
23Abraham el kalukyang nu yurin LEUM GOD ac siyuk, “Ya pwayena kom ac kunausla mwet wangin mwata wi na mwet koluk uh?
24What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it?
24Fin oasr mwet wangin mwata lumngaul in siti uh, ya kom ac kunausla siti nufon sac? Ya kom ac tia lela in oanna ke sripen mwet lumngaul uh?
25May it be far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn’t the Judge of all the earth do right?”
25Kalem lah kom tia ku in uniya mwet wangin mwata wi mwet koluk. Ac tia ku in angan! Kom koflana oru ma sacn. Kom fin oru angan, na mwet suwohs uh ac fah kalyeiyuk oapana mwet koluk uh. Tiana ku in angan. El su nununku faclu nufon enenu na in orekma in suwohs.”
26The LORD said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place for their sake.”
26LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fin konauk mwet suwoswos lumngaul in Sodom, nga fah tia kunausla siti nufon sac ke sripalos.”
27Abraham answered, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, although I am dust and ashes.
27Abraham el sifilpa fahk, “ LEUM GOD , nunak munas, tuleyula ke kuinsrim luk in kaskas nu sum. Mwet na lusrongten se pa nga uh, ac nga kupansuwol in fahk kutena ma.
28What if there will lack five of the fifty righteous? Will you destroy all the city for lack of five?” He said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.”
28Fin mwet suwoswos na angngaul limekosr, ac tia lumngaul, ya kom ac srakna kunausla siti nufon sac mweyen mwet limekosr pueni?” LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah tia kunausla siti sac nga fin konauk mwet suwoswos angngaul limekosr.
29He spoke to him yet again, and said, “What if there are forty found there?” He said, “I will not do it for the forty’s sake.”
29Ac Abraham el sifilpa fahk, “Ac fin mwet angngaul na?” LEUM GOD El topuk, “Nga ac tia pac kunausla fin oasr mwet angngaul.”
30He said, “Oh don’t let the Lord be angry, and I will speak. What if there are thirty found there?” He said, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”
30Abraham el fahk, “ LEUM GOD , nunak munas nikmet kasrkusrak, a nga srakna ke sifilpa kaskas. Fin mwet na tolngoul? El fahk, “Nga ac tia pac kunausla nga fin konauk mwet tolngoul.”
31He said, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord. What if there are twenty found there?” He said, “I will not destroy it for the twenty’s sake.”
31Abraham el fahk, “O Leum, nunak munas ke nga siayuk in kusen siyuk nu sum uh. Ac fin pa mwet na longoul koneyukyak we?” El fahk, “Nga ac tia pac kunausla siti sac, nga fin konauk longoul.”
32He said, “Oh don’t let the Lord be angry, and I will speak just once more. What if ten are found there?” He said, “I will not destroy it for the ten’s sake.”
32Abraham el fahk, “O Leum, nunak munas nikmet kasrkusrak, ma na safla se pa nge. Ac fin mwet na singoul koneyukyak?” Ac El fahk, “Nga fah tia pac kunausla fin oasr mwet singoul.”
33The LORD went his way as soon as he had finished communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
33Tukun el kaskas nu sel Abraham tari, LEUM GOD El som, ac Abraham el folokla nu acn sel.
