|
| 16 | Then the men set out from there, and they looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to set 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 said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, | | וַיהֹוָה אָמָר הַמְכַסֶּה אֲנִי מֵאַבְרָהָם אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי עֹשֶׂה׃ |
|
| 18 | seeing that Abraham shall become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves by him? | | וְאַבְרָהָם הָיֹו יִהְיֶה לְגֹוי גָּדֹול וְעָצוּם וְנִבְרְכוּ בֹו כֹּל גֹּויֵי הָאָרֶץ׃ |
|
| 19 | No, for I have chosen him, that he may charge his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice; so that the LORD may bring to Abraham what he has promised 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 | Then the LORD said, "Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomor'rah is great and their sin is very grave, | | וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה זַעֲקַת סְדֹם וַעֲמֹרָה כִּי־רָבָּה וְחַטָּאתָם כִּי כָבְדָה מְאֹד׃ |
|
| 21 | I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry which has come to me; and if not, I will know." | | אֵרֲדָה־נָּא וְאֶרְאֶה הַכְּצַעֲקָתָהּ הַבָּאָה אֵלַי עָשׂוּ כָּלָה וְאִם־לֹא אֵדָעָה׃ |
|
| 22 | So the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham still stood before the LORD. | | וַיִּפְנוּ מִשָּׁם הָאֲנָשִׁים וַיֵּלְכוּ סְדֹמָה וְאַבְרָהָם עֹודֶנּוּ עֹמֵד לִפְנֵי יְהוָה׃ |
|
| 23 | Then Abraham drew near, and said, "Wilt thou indeed destroy the righteous with the wicked? | | וַיִּגַּשׁ אַבְרָהָם וַיֹּאמַר הַאַף תִּסְפֶּה צַדִּיק עִם־רָשָׁע׃ |
|
| 24 | Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; wilt thou then destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous who are in it? | | אוּלַי יֵשׁ חֲמִשִּׁים צַדִּיקִם בְּתֹוךְ הָעִיר הַאַף תִּסְפֶּה וְלֹא־תִשָּׂא לַמָּקֹום לְמַעַן חֲמִשִּׁים הַצַּדִּיקִם אֲשֶׁר בְּקִרְבָּהּ׃ |
|
| 25 | Far be it from thee to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from thee! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" | | חָלִלָה לְּךָ מֵעֲשֹׂת כַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה לְהָמִית צַדִּיק עִם־רָשָׁע וְהָיָה כַצַּדִּיק כָּרָשָׁע חָלִלָה לָּךְ הֲשֹׁפֵט כָּל־הָאָרֶץ לֹא יַעֲשֶׂה מִשְׁפָּט׃ |
|
| 26 | And the LORD said, "If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake." | | וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אִם־אֶמְצָא בִסְדֹם חֲמִשִּׁים צַדִּיקִם בְּתֹוךְ הָעִיר וְנָשָׂאתִי לְכָל־הַמָּקֹום בַּעֲבוּרָם׃ |
|
| 27 | Abraham answered, "Behold, I have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes. | | וַיַּעַן אַבְרָהָם וַיֹּאמַר הִנֵּה־נָא הֹואַלְתִּי לְדַבֵּר אֶל־אֲדֹנָי וְאָנֹכִי עָפָר וָאֵפֶר׃ |
|
| 28 | Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking? Wilt thou destroy the whole city for lack of five?" And he said, "I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there." | | אוּלַי יַחְסְרוּן חֲמִשִּׁים הַצַּדִּיקִם חֲמִשָּׁה הֲתַשְׁחִית בַּחֲמִשָּׁה אֶת־כָּל־הָעִיר וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא אַשְׁחִית אִם־אֶמְצָא שָׁם אַרְבָּעִים וַחֲמִשָּׁה׃ |
|
| 29 | Again he spoke to him, and said, "Suppose forty are found there." He answered, "For the sake of forty I will not do it." | | וַיֹּסֶף עֹוד לְדַבֵּר אֵלָיו וַיֹּאמַר אוּלַי יִמָּצְאוּן שָׁם אַרְבָּעִים וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא אֶעֱשֶׂה בַּעֲבוּר הָאַרְבָּעִים׃ |
|
| 30 | Then he said, "Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Suppose thirty are found there." He answered, "I will not do it, if I find thirty there." | | וַיֹּאמֶר אַל־נָא יִחַר לַאדֹנָי וַאֲדַבֵּרָה אוּלַי יִמָּצְאוּן שָׁם שְׁלֹשִׁים וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא אֶעֱשֶׂה אִם־אֶמְצָא שָׁם שְׁלֹשִׁים׃ |
|
| 31 | He said, "Behold, I have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there." He answered, "For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it." | | וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּה־נָא הֹואַלְתִּי לְדַבֵּר אֶל־אֲדֹנָי אוּלַי יִמָּצְאוּן שָׁם עֶשְׂרִים וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא אַשְׁחִית בַּעֲבוּר הָעֶשְׂרִים׃ |
|
| 32 | Then he said, "Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again but this once. Suppose ten are found there." He answered, "For the sake of ten I will not destroy it." | | וַיֹּאמֶר אַל־נָא יִחַר לַאדֹנָי וַאֲדַבְּרָה אַךְ־הַפַּעַם אוּלַי יִמָּצְאוּן שָׁם עֲשָׂרָה וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא אַשְׁחִית בַּעֲבוּר הָעֲשָׂרָה׃ |
|
| 33 | And the LORD went his way, when he had finished speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place. | | וַיֵּלֶךְ יְהוָה כַּאֲשֶׁר כִּלָּה לְדַבֵּר אֶל־אַבְרָהָם וְאַבְרָהָם שָׁב לִמְקֹמֹו׃ |
