| 2 | Il leva les yeux, et regarda : et voici, trois hommes étaient debout près de lui. Quand il les vit, il courut au-devant d'eux, depuis l'entrée de sa tente, et se prosterna en terre. | And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, | and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood over against him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth, |
| 3 | Et il dit : Seigneur, si j'ai trouvé grâce à tes yeux, ne passe point, je te prie, loin de ton serviteur. | And said, My LORD, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: | and said, My lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: |
| 4 | Permettez qu'on apporte un peu d'eau, pour vous laver les pieds ; et reposez-vous sous cet arbre. | Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: | let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: |
| 5 | J'irai prendre un morceau de pain, pour fortifier votre coeur ; après quoi, vous continuerez votre route ; car c'est pour cela que vous passez près de votre serviteur. Ils répondirent : Fais comme tu l'as dit. | And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said. | and I will fetch a morsel of bread, and strengthen ye your heart; after that ye shall pass on: forasmuch as ye are come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said. |
| 6 | Abraham alla promptement dans sa tente vers Sara, et il dit : Vite, trois mesures de fleur de farine, pétris, et fais des gâteaux. | And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. | And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes. |
| 7 | Et Abraham courut à son troupeau, prit un veau tendre et bon, et le donna à un serviteur, qui se hâta de l'apprêter. | And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it. | And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto the servant; and he hasted to dress it. |
| 8 | Il prit encore de la crème et du lait, avec le veau qu'on avait apprêté, et il les mit devant eux. Il se tint lui-même à leurs côtés, sous l'arbre. Et ils mangèrent. | And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat. | And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat. |
| 9 | Alors ils lui dirent : Où est Sara, ta femme ? Il répondit : Elle est là, dans la tente. | And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. | And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. |
| 10 | L'un d'entre eux dit : Je reviendrai vers toi à cette même époque ; et voici, Sara, ta femme, aura un fils. Sara écoutait à l'entrée de la tente, qui était derrière lui. | And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. | And he said, I will certainly return unto thee when the season cometh round; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him. |
| 11 | Abraham et Sara étaient vieux, avancés en âge : et Sara ne pouvait plus espérer avoir des enfants. | Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. | Now Abraham and Sarah were old, [and] well stricken in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. |
| 12 | Elle rit en elle-même, en disant : Maintenant que je suis vieille, aurais-je encore des désirs ? Mon seigneur aussi est vieux. | Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? | And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? |
| 13 | L'Éternel dit à Abraham : Pourquoi donc Sara a-t-elle ri, en disant : Est-ce que vraiment j'aurais un enfant, moi qui suis vieille ? | And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? | And Jehovah said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, who am old? |
| 14 | Y a-t-il rien qui soit étonnant de la part de l'Éternel ? Au temps fixé je reviendrai vers toi, à cette même époque ; et Sara aura un fils. | Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. | Is anything too hard for Jehovah?

And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh. | Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh. |
| 16 | Ces hommes se levèrent pour partir, et ils regardèrent du côté de Sodome. Abraham alla avec eux, pour les accompagner. | And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. | And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. |
| 17 | Alors l'Éternel dit : Cacherai-je à Abraham ce que je vais faire ?... | And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; | And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham that which I do; |
| 18 | Abraham deviendra certainement une nation grande et puissante, et en lui seront bénies toutes les nations de la terre. | Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? | seeing that Abraham had surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? |
| 19 | Car je l'ai choisi, afin qu'il ordonne à ses fils et à sa maison après lui de garder la voie de l'Éternel, en pratiquant la droiture et la justice, et qu'ainsi l'Éternel accomplisse en faveur d'Abraham les promesses qu'il lui a faites... | For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. | 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 Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. |
| 20 | Et l'Éternel dit : Le cri contre Sodome et Gomorrhe s'est accru, et leur péché est énorme. | And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; | And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; |
| 21 | C'est pourquoi je vais descendre, et je verrai s'ils ont agi entièrement selon le bruit venu jusqu'à moi ; et si cela n'est pas, je le saurai. | I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. | I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. |
| 22 | Les hommes s'éloignèrent, et allèrent vers Sodome. Mais Abraham se tint encore en présence de l'Éternel. | And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. | And the men turned from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before Jehovah. |
| 23 | Abraham s'approcha, et dit : Feras-tu aussi périr le juste avec le méchant ? | And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? | And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou consume the righteous with the wicked? |
| 24 | Peut-être y a-t-il cinquante justes au milieu de la ville : les feras-tu périr aussi, et ne pardonneras-tu pas à la ville à cause des cinquante justes qui sont au milieu d'elle ? | Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? | Peradventure there are fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? |
| 25 | Faire mourir le juste avec le méchant, en sorte qu'il en soit du juste comme du méchant, loin de toi cette manière d'agir ! loin de toi ! Celui qui juge toute la terre n'exercera-t-il pas la justice ? | That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? | That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked; that be far from thee: shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? |
| 26 | Et l'Éternel dit : Si je trouve dans Sodome cinquante justes au milieu de la ville, je pardonnerai à toute la ville, à cause d'eux. | And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. | And Jehovah said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake. |
| 27 | Abraham reprit, et dit : Voici, j'ai osé parler au Seigneur, moi qui ne suis que poudre et cendre. | And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes: | And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, who am but dust and ashes: |
| 28 | Peut-être des cinquante justes en manquera-t-il cinq : pour cinq, détruiras-tu toute la ville ? Et l'Éternel dit : Je ne la détruirai point, si j'y trouve quarante-cinq justes. | Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. | peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I find there forty and five. |
| 29 | Abraham continua de lui parler, et dit : Peut-être s'y trouvera-t-il quarante justes. Et l'Éternel dit : Je ne ferai rien, à cause de ces quarante. | And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake. | And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for the forty`s sake. |
| 30 | Abraham dit : Que le Seigneur ne s'irrite point, et je parlerai. Peut-être s'y trouvera-t-il trente justes. Et l'Éternel dit : Je ne ferai rien, si j'y trouve trente justes. | And he said unto him, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. | And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. |
| 31 | Abraham dit : Voici, j'ai osé parler au Seigneur. Peut-être s'y trouvera-t-il vingt justes. Et l'Éternel dit : Je ne la détruirai point, à cause de ces vingt. | And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake. | And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the twenty`s sake. |
| 32 | Abraham dit : Que le Seigneur ne s'irrite point, et je ne parlerai plus que cette fois. Peut-être s'y trouvera-t-il dix justes. Et l'Éternel dit : Je ne la détruirai point, à cause de ces dix justes. | And he said, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake. | And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten`s sake. |
| 33 | L'Éternel s'en alla lorsqu'il eut achevé de parler à Abraham. Et Abraham retourna dans sa demeure. | And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place. | And Jehovah went his way, as soon as he had left off communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place. |
