1 Kaj aperis al li la Eternulo en la arbareto Mamre, kiam li sidis cxe la pordo de la tendo dum la varmego de la tago.

2 Kiam li levis siajn okulojn, li vidis, ke jen tri viroj staras antaux li. Ekvidinte, li kuris al ili renkonte de la pordo de la tendo kaj klinigxis antaux ili gxis la tero.

3 Kaj li diris: Mia sinjoro! se mi trovis placxon en viaj okuloj, ne pasu preter vian sklavon.

4 Oni alportos iom da akvo, kaj vi lavu viajn piedojn kaj ripozu sub la arbo.

5 Kaj mi alportos pecon da pano, por ke vi fortigu viajn korojn; poste vi foriros; cxar por tio vi pasis preter via sklavo. Kaj ili diris: Faru tiel, kiel vi diris.

6 Kaj Abraham rapidis en la tendon al Sara, kaj diris: Rapide prenu tri mezurojn da plej bona faruno, knedu, kaj faru kukojn.

7 Kaj ankaux al la bovoj Abraham kuris, kaj li prenis bovidon delikatan kaj bonan kaj donis al la junulo, kaj tiu rapide pretigis gxin.

8 Kaj li prenis buteron kaj lakton kaj la pretigitan bovidon kaj metis antaux ilin, kaj li staris apud ili sub la arbo, kaj ili mangxis.

9 Kaj ili diris al li: Kie estas Sara, via edzino? Kaj li respondis: Jen sxi estas en la tendo.

10 Kaj Li diris: Mi revenos al vi en la sama jartempo, kaj tiam estos filo cxe Sara, via edzino. Kaj Sara auxskultis cxe la pordo de la tendo, kiu estis malantaux Li.

11 Kaj Abraham kaj Sara estis maljunuloj de profunda agxo; cxe Sara cxesigxis la virinaj ordinarajxoj.

12 Kaj Sara ekridis interne, dirante: CXu kiam mi kadukigxis, mi havus ankoraux volupton? kaj mia sinjoro estas ja maljuna!

13 Kaj la Eternulo diris al Abraham: Kial do Sara ridas, dirante: CXu efektive mi naskos, kiam mi maljunigxis?

14 CXu por la Eternulo io estas malfacila? en la difinita tempo Mi revenos al vi en la venonta jaro, kaj Sara havos filon.

15 Sed Sara malkonfesis, dirante: Mi ne ridis; cxar sxi timis. Sed Li diris: Ne, vi ridis.

16 Kaj levigxis de tie la viroj kaj direktigxis al Sodom: kaj Abraham iris kun ili, por akompani ilin.

17 Kaj la Eternulo diris: CXu mi kasxos antaux Abraham, kion Mi faras?

18 Abraham farigxos ja popolo granda kaj potenca, kaj per li benigxos cxiuj popoloj de la tero.

19 CXar Mi lin elektis, por ke li ordonu al siaj filoj kaj al sia domo post si, ke ili observu la vojon de la Eternulo, agante virte kaj juste; por ke la Eternulo plenumu pri Abraham, kion Li diris pri li.

20 Kaj la Eternulo diris: CXar la kriado de Sodom kaj Gomora estas granda kaj ilia pekado estas tre peza,

21 tial Mi malsupreniros, kaj rigardos, cxu ili plene agas tiel, kiel estas la kriado, kiu venis al Mi, aux ne; Mi sciigxos.

22 Kaj la viroj turnigxis de tie kaj iris al Sodom; kaj Abraham staris ankoraux antaux la Eternulo.

23 Kaj Abraham alproksimigxis, kaj diris: CXu Vi ankaux pereigos virtulon kune kun malvirtulo?

24 Eble ekzistas kvindek virtuloj en la urbo: cxu Vi tiam pereigos kaj ne indulgos la lokon pro la kvindek virtuloj, kiuj estas en gxi?

25 Ne decas por Vi agi tiamaniere, ke Vi mortigu virtulon kune kun malvirtulo, ke virtulo estu kiel malvirtulo; ne decas por Vi, ke la Jugxanto de la tuta tero agu maljuste.

26 Kaj la Eternulo diris: Se Mi trovos en Sodom kvindek virtulojn en la urbo, Mi indulgos la tutan lokon pro ili.

27 Kaj Abraham respondis, dirante: Jen mi ekkuragxis paroli al mia Sinjoro, kvankam mi estas polvo kaj cindro;

28 eble al la kvindeko da virtuloj mankos kvin: cxu Vi pereigos pro la kvin la tutan urbon? Kaj Li diris: Mi ne pereigos, se Mi trovos tie kvardek kvin.

29 Kaj li plue parolis al Li kaj diris: Eble trovigxos tie kvardek? Kaj Li diris: Mi ne faros tion pro la kvardek.

30 Kaj li diris: Ne koleru, mia Sinjoro, ke mi parolos plue: eble trovigxos tie tridek? Kaj Li diris: Mi ne faros, se Mi trovos tie tridek.

31 Kaj li diris: Jen mi ekkuragxis paroli al mia Sinjoro: eble trovigxos dudek? Kaj Li diris: Mi ne pereigos pro la dudek.

32 Kaj li diris: Ne koleru, mia Sinjoro, ke mi parolos ankoraux nur unu fojon: eble trovigxos tie dek? Kaj Li diris: Mi ne pereigos pro la dek.

33 Kaj la Eternulo foriris, kiam Li cxesis paroli kun Abraham; kaj Abraham reiris al sia loko.

2010. Since therefore the “name” signifies the quality and to know what the quality is, we can see what is signified by the words in this verse, “thy name shall no more be called Abram, and thy name shall be Abraham;” to wit, that he was not to be such in quality as in the past, but such as he was about to be. That Abram served other gods, and worshiped the god Shaddai, was shown above (n. 1992); but because he was to represent the Lord, and in fact His internal man, and thus the Celestial of His Love, his former quality was to be blotted out, that is, the name “Abram” was to be so changed in character that the Lord could be represented by it. Therefore the letter H was taken from the name of Jehovah-which letter is the only one in the name “Jehovah” that involves the Divine, and which signifies I AM or BEING (Esse)—and was inserted in his name, and he was called “Abraham.” The case is similar with “Sarai,” spoken of in what follows; to whose name the same letter was also added, and she was called “Sarah.” From this also we can see that in the internal sense of the Word Abraham represents Jehovah or the Lord.

[2] Be it known however that in representations it matters not what a man’s quality is, for in them no attention is paid to the person, but to the thing which he represents (as was said and shown before, n. 665, 1097 the end, 1361). Therefore in the internal sense the signification of these words is that the Lord will put off the human, and will put on the Divine; which also is in a series with what goes before, and likewise with what follows; for a promise is now made concerning the son Isaac, by whom was to be represented the Lord’s Divine rational.

Genesis 18

Проучване

   

1 Yahweh appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.

2 He lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw that three men stood opposite him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,

3 and said, "My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please don't go away from your servant.

4 Now let a little water be fetched, wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.

5 I will get a morsel 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."

6 Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Quickly prepare three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes."

7 Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress it.

8 He 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.

9 They asked him, "Where is Sarah, your wife?" He said, "See, in the tent."

10 He said, "I will certainly return to you when the season comes round. Behold, Sarah your wife will have a son." Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.

11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.

12 Sarah laughed within herself, saying, "After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"

13 Yahweh said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, 'Will I really bear a child, yet I am old?'

14 Is anything too hard for Yahweh? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes round, and Sarah will have a son."

15 Then Sarah denied, saying, "I didn't laugh," for she was afraid. He said, "No, but you did laugh."

16 The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.

17 Yahweh said, "Will I hide from Abraham what I do,

18 since Abraham has surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him?

19 For 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 Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Yahweh may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him."

20 Yahweh said, "Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,

21 I 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."

22 The men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham stood yet before Yahweh.

23 Abraham drew near, and said, "Will you consume the righteous with the wicked?

24 What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it?

25 Be it 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?"

26 Yahweh said, "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake."

27 Abraham answered, "See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, who am but dust and ashes.

28 What 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."

29 He 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."

30 He 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."

31 He 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."

32 He 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."

33 Yahweh went his way, as soon as he had finished communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
