Genesis Chapter 18

¹And Yahweh is being seen toward him in oaks of Mamre, and himself is he-who-sits at an opening of the Tent, as the hot-one of the Hot-one.

²And he is lifting up his eyes and he is seeing, and behold, three mortal-men standing-firm upon him, and he is seeing, and he is running to meet them from an opening of the Tent, and he is bowing-down earth-ward.

³And he is saying, `My master, if, now, I have found a favored-one in your eyes, do not, now, pass-by from upon your slave. ⁴He is being taken, now, a little one of the dual-waters^* and you-all wash your feet-pair, and lean underneath the Wood. ⁵And I am taking a broken-piece^* of bread, and supporting^* your heart, the back you are passing-by,^* for upon an upright you have crossed-over your slave.` And they say, `Thus you are making as when you have ordered.`

⁶And Father-of-Tumult is hastening tent-ward toward ContentiousWoman, and is saying, `Hasten three measures of flour-meal, knead, and make bread-rounds.` ⁷And toward the Ploughing-one Father-of-Tumult has run, and he is taking a builder of a ploughing-one, tender and good, and is giving toward the Shaken-out-one,^* and he is hastening to make himself.^*

⁸And he is taking curd and milk-fat,^* and the builder of the Ploughing-one which he has made and is giving to their faces, and himself set-upright^* upon them underneath the Wood, and they are eating. ⁹And they are saying toward him, `Where is ContentiousWoman your woman?` And he is saying, `Behold—in the Tent.` ¹⁰And he is saying, `Turning back I am turning back toward you, according to the Time of a living-one, and behold, a builder is to ContentiousWoman, your woman.` ¹¹And Father-of-Tumult and ContentiousWoman are old coming into the Days, the caravan-way^* according to the Women has quit to become to ContentiousWoman. ¹²And ContentiousWoman is laughing^* in her inner-part, to say, `The back-ones of my wearing out,^* she has become to-myself a luxurious-one, and myself has grown old.`^* ¹³And Yahweh is saying toward Father-of-Tumult, `Why this one? ContentiousWoman has laughed, to say, Truly really am I bearing and myself has grown old? ¹⁴Is a word from Yahweh extraordinary? To the appointed time I am returning toward you, according to the Time of a living-one, and to ContentiousWoman, a builder.`

¹⁵And ContentiousWoman is lying,^* to say, `I have not laughed;` for she has feared. And he is saying, `Nay, for you have laughed.`

¹⁶And the Mortal-men^* are standing up from there, and they are looking-down upon the faces of Sodom, and Father-of-Tumult is he-who-walks with them to send them forth.^*¹⁷And Yahweh has said, `The One-Covering^* is myself from Father-of-Tumult which myself is he-who-makes. ¹⁸And Father-of-Tumult To become he is^* to a nation great and mighty.^* And the whole of the nations of the Earth have been kneeled in-himself.^* ¹⁹For I have perceived him, to the purpose which he is charging אֶת-his builders, and אֶת-his house his back-ones, and they have guarded the road^* of Yahweh, to make justice and judgment, to the purpose of Yahweh causing to come in upon Father-of-Tumult אֶת-which he has spoken upon him.` ²⁰And Yahweh is saying, `An outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah—for she has been abundant; And their miss—for she has been heavy exceedingly. ²¹Let me descend, now, and am seeing whether according to the outcry^* of her, she has come in toward me they have made complete—and if not—I am perceiving.`

²²And the Mortal-men are facing^* from there, and they are walking Sodom-ward; and Father-of-Tumult is again-him^* standing to the faces of Yahweh. ²³ And Father-of-Tumult is drawing near and is saying, `Really are you sweeping^* even righteous with wicked? ²⁴ Perhaps there exists fifty righteous in the inner-part of the City^*—really are you sweeping and not lifting to the Standing-place to the purpose of fifty of the Righteous who are in her inner-part?^* ²⁵ Profane-thing!^*to-yourself from making like This Word to cause to die righteous with wicked; then he has become like the Righteous, like the Wicked—Profane-thing! to-yourself. Is the one-who-judges the whole of the Earth not making a justice?` ²⁶And Yahweh is saying, `If I am finding in Sodom fifty righteous in the middle of the city, then I have lifted to the whole of the Standing-place in account of them.` ²⁷And Father-of-Tumult is facing^* and is saying, `Behold, now, I have determined to order toward my master, and myself is a dust and ashes. ²⁸Perhaps there are lacking fifty of the Righteous, five—Will you be laying-waste in the Five אֶת-the whole of the City?` ²⁹And he is adding continually to order toward Him, and he is saying, `Perhaps there are being found there forty?` ³⁰And he is saying, `Do not, now, burn to my master, and I am ordering. Perhaps there are being found there thirty?` ³¹And he is saying, `Behold, now, I have determined to order toward my master. Perhaps there are being found there twenty?` ³²And he is saying, ` Do not, now, burn to my master, and I am ordering, yet the Occurance:^* Perhaps ten are being found there?`

³³And Yahweh is walking, when he has ended to order toward Father-of-Tumult, and Father-of-Tumult has turned back to his standing-place.
