|
| 16 | The men set out and looked down towards Sodom, and Abraham went with them to start them on their way. | ABRAHAM pleads for Sodom. Gn.18.16-33 | וַיָּקֻמוּ מִשָּׁם הָאֲנָשִׁים וַיַּשְׁקִפוּ עַל־פְּנֵי סְדֹם וְאַבְרָהָם הֹלֵךְ עִםָּם לְשַׁלְּחָם׃ |
|
| 17 | The LORD thought to himself, 'Shall I conceal from Abraham what I intend to do? | | וַיהֹוָה אָמָר הַמְכַסֶּה אֲנִי מֵאַבְרָהָם אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי עֹשֶׂה׃ |
|
| 18 | He will become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will pray to be blessed as he is blessed. | | וְאַבְרָהָם הָיֹו יִהְיֶה לְגֹוי גָּדֹול וְעָצוּם וְנִבְרְכוּ בֹו כֹּל גֹּויֵי הָאָרֶץ׃ |
|
| 19 | I have taken care of him on purpose that he may charge his sons and family after him to conform to the way of the LORD and to do what is right and just; thus I shall fulfil all that I have promised for him.' | | כִּי יְדַעְתִּיו לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר יְצַוֶּה אֶת־בָּנָיו וְאֶת־בֵּיתֹו אַחֲרָיו וְשָׁמְרוּ דֶּרֶךְ יְהוָה לַעֲשֹׂות צְדָקָה וּמִשְׁפָּט לְמַעַן הָבִיא יְהוָה עַל־אַבְרָהָם אֵת אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר עָלָיו׃ |
|
| 20 | So the LORD said, 'There is a great outcry over Sodom and Gomorrah; their sin is very grave. | | וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה זַעֲקַת סְדֹם וַעֲמֹרָה כִּי־רָבָּה וְחַטָּאתָם כִּי כָבְדָה מְאֹד׃ |
|
| 21 | I must go down and see whether their deeds warrant the outcry which has reached me. I am resolved to know the truth.' | | אֵרֲדָה־נָּא וְאֶרְאֶה הַכְּצַעֲקָתָהּ הַבָּאָה אֵלַי עָשׂוּ כָּלָה וְאִם־לֹא אֵדָעָה׃ |
|
| 22 | When the men turned and went towards Sodom, Abraham remained standing before the LORD. | | וַיִּפְנוּ מִשָּׁם הָאֲנָשִׁים וַיֵּלְכוּ סְדֹמָה וְאַבְרָהָם עֹודֶנּוּ עֹמֵד לִפְנֵי יְהוָה׃ |
|
| 23 | Abraham drew near him and said, 'Wilt thou really sweep away good and bad together? | | וַיִּגַּשׁ אַבְרָהָם וַיֹּאמַר הַאַף תִּסְפֶּה צַדִּיק עִם־רָשָׁע׃ |
|
| 24 | Suppose there are fifty good men in the city; wilt thou really sweep it away, and not pardon the place because of the fifty good men? | | אוּלַי יֵשׁ חֲמִשִּׁים צַדִּיקִם בְּתֹוךְ הָעִיר הַאַף תִּסְפֶּה וְלֹא־תִשָּׂא לַמָּקֹום לְמַעַן חֲמִשִּׁים הַצַּדִּיקִם אֲשֶׁר בְּקִרְבָּהּ׃ |
|
| 25 | Far be it from thee to do this—to kill good and bad together; for then the good would suffer with the bad. Far be it from thee. Shall not the judge of all the earth do what is just?' | | חָלִלָה לְּךָ מֵעֲשֹׂת כַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה לְהָמִית צַדִּיק עִם־רָשָׁע וְהָיָה כַצַּדִּיק כָּרָשָׁע חָלִלָה לָּךְ הֲשֹׁפֵט כָּל־הָאָרֶץ לֹא יַעֲשֶׂה מִשְׁפָּט׃ |
|
| 26 | The LORD said, 'If I find in the city of Sodom fifty good men, I will pardon the whole place for their sake.' | | וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אִם־אֶמְצָא בִסְדֹם חֲמִשִּׁים צַדִּיקִם בְּתֹוךְ הָעִיר וְנָשָׂאתִי לְכָל־הַמָּקֹום בַּעֲבוּרָם׃ |
|
| 27 | Abraham replied, 'May I presume to speak to the Lord, dust and ashes that I am: | | וַיַּעַן אַבְרָהָם וַיֹּאמַר הִנֵּה־נָא הֹואַלְתִּי לְדַבֵּר אֶל־אֲדֹנָי וְאָנֹכִי עָפָר וָאֵפֶר׃ |
|
| 28 | suppose there are five short of the fifty good men? Wilt thou destroy the whole city for a mere five men?' He said, 'If I find forty-five there I will not destroy it.' Abraham spoke again, | | אוּלַי יַחְסְרוּן חֲמִשִּׁים הַצַּדִּיקִם חֲמִשָּׁה הֲתַשְׁחִית בַּחֲמִשָּׁה אֶת־כָּל־הָעִיר וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא אַשְׁחִית אִם־אֶמְצָא שָׁם אַרְבָּעִים וַחֲמִשָּׁה׃ |
|
| 29 | 'Suppose forty can be found there?'; and he said, 'For the sake of the forty I will not do it.' | | וַיֹּסֶף עֹוד לְדַבֵּר אֵלָיו וַיֹּאמַר אוּלַי יִמָּצְאוּן שָׁם אַרְבָּעִים וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא אֶעֱשֶׂה בַּעֲבוּר הָאַרְבָּעִים׃ |
|
| 30 | Then Abraham said, 'Please do not be angry, O Lord, if I speak again: suppose thirty can be found there?' He answered, 'If I find thirty there I will not do it.' | | וַיֹּאמֶר אַל־נָא יִחַר לַאדֹנָי וַאֲדַבֵּרָה אוּלַי יִמָּצְאוּן שָׁם שְׁלֹשִׁים וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא אֶעֱשֶׂה אִם־אֶמְצָא שָׁם שְׁלֹשִׁים׃ |
|
| 31 | Abraham continued, 'May I presume to speak to the Lord: suppose twenty can be found there?' He replied, 'For the sake of the twenty I will not destroy it.' | | וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּה־נָא הֹואַלְתִּי לְדַבֵּר אֶל־אֲדֹנָי אוּלַי יִמָּצְאוּן שָׁם עֶשְׂרִים וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא אַשְׁחִית בַּעֲבוּר הָעֶשְׂרִים׃ |
|
| 32 | Abraham said, 'I pray thee not to be angry, O Lord, if I speak just once more: suppose ten can be found there?' He said, 'For the sake of the ten I will not destroy it.' | | וַיֹּאמֶר אַל־נָא יִחַר לַאדֹנָי וַאֲדַבְּרָה אַךְ־הַפַּעַם אוּלַי יִמָּצְאוּן שָׁם עֲשָׂרָה וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא אַשְׁחִית בַּעֲבוּר הָעֲשָׂרָה׃ |
|
| 33 | When the LORD had finished talking with Abraham, he left him, and Abraham returned home. | | וַיֵּלֶךְ יְהוָה כַּאֲשֶׁר כִּלָּה לְדַבֵּר אֶל־אַבְרָהָם וְאַבְרָהָם שָׁב לִמְקֹמֹו׃ |
