KJV ¹ And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

VULC ¹ Apparuit autem ei Dominus in convalle Mambre sedenti in ostio tabernaculi sui in ipso fervore diei.

KJV ² 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,

VULC ² Cumque elevasset oculos, apparuerunt ei tres viri stantes prope eum : quos cum vidisset, cucurrit in occursum eorum de ostio tabernaculi, et adoravit in terram.

KJV ³ And said, My LORD, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:

VULC ³ Et dixit : Domine, si inveni gratiam in oculis tuis, ne transeas servum tuum :

KJV ⁴ Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:

VULC ⁴ sed afferam pauxillum aquæ, et lavate pedes vestros, et requiescite sub arbore.

KJV ⁵ 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.

VULC ⁵ Ponamque buccellam panis, et confortate cor vestrum : postea transibitis : idcirco enim declinastis ad servum vestrum. Qui dixerunt : Fac ut locutus es.

KJV ⁶ 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.

VULC ⁶ Festinavit Abraham in tabernaculum ad Saram, dixitque ei : Accelera, tria sata similæ commisce, et fac subcinericios panes.

KJV ⁷ 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.

VULC ⁷ Ipse vero ad armentum cucurrit, et tulit inde vitulum tenerrimum et optimum, deditque puero : qui festinavit et coxit illum.

KJV ⁸ 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.

VULC ⁸ Tulit quoque butyrum et lac, et vitulum quem coxerat, et posuit coram eis : ipse vero stabat juxta eos sub arbore.

KJV ⁹ And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.

VULC ⁹ Cumque comedissent, dixerunt ad eum : Ubi est Sara uxor tua ? Ille respondit : Ecce in tabernaculo est.

KJV ¹⁰ 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.

VULC ¹⁰ Cui dixit : Revertens veniam ad te tempore isto, vita comite, et habebit filium Sara uxor tua. Quo audito, Sara risit post ostium tabernaculi.

KJV ¹¹ Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

VULC ¹¹ Erant autem ambo senes, provectæque ætatis, et desierant Saræ fieri muliebria.

KJV ¹² Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?

VULC ¹² Quæ risit occulte dicens : Postquam consenui, et dominus meus vetulus est, voluptati operam dabo ?

KJV ¹³ And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?

VULC ¹³ Dixit autem Dominus ad Abraham : Quare risit Sara, dicens : Num vere paritura sum anus ?

KJV ¹⁴ 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.

VULC ¹⁴ Numquid Deo quidquam est difficile ? juxta condictum revertar ad te hoc eodem tempore, vita comite, et habebit Sara filium.

KJV ¹⁵ Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.

VULC ¹⁵ Negavit Sara, dicens : Non risi, timore perterrita. Dominus autem : Non est, inquit, ita : sed risisti.

KJV ¹⁶ And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.

VULC ¹⁶ Cum ergo surrexissent inde viri, direxerunt oculos contra Sodomam : et Abraham simul gradiebatur, deducens eos.

KJV ¹⁷ And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

VULC ¹⁷ Dixitque Dominus : Num celare potero Abraham quæ gesturus sum :

KJV ¹⁸ Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

VULC ¹⁸ cum futurus sit in gentem magnam, ac robustissimam, et benedicendæ sint in illo omnes nationes terræ ?

KJV ¹⁹ 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.

VULC ¹⁹ Scio enim quod præcepturus sit filiis suis, et domui suæ post se ut custodiant viam Domini, et faciant judicium et justitiam : ut adducat Dominus propter Abraham omnia quæ locutus est ad eum.

KJV ²⁰ And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

VULC ²⁰ Dixit itaque Dominus : Clamor Sodomorum et Gomorrhæ multiplicatus est, et peccatum eorum aggravatum est nimis.

KJV ²¹ 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.

VULC ²¹ Descendam, et videbo utrum clamorem qui venit ad me, opere compleverint ; an non est ita, ut sciam.

KJV ²² And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.

VULC ²² Converteruntque se inde, et abierunt Sodomam : Abraham vero adhuc stabat coram Domino.

KJV ²³ And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

VULC ²³ Et appropinquans ait : Numquid perdes justum cum impio ?

KJV ²⁴ Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?

VULC ²⁴ si fuerint quinquaginta justi in civitate, peribunt simul ? et non parces loco illi propter quinquaginta justos, si fuerint in eo ?

KJV ²⁵ 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?

VULC ²⁵ Absit a te ut rem hanc facias, et occidas justum cum impio, fiatque justus sicut impius, non est hoc tuum : qui judicas omnem terram, nequaquam facies judicium hoc.

KJV ²⁶ And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.

VULC ²⁶ Dixitque Dominus ad eum : Si invenero Sodomis quinquaginta justos in medio civitatis, dimittam omni loco propter eos.

KJV ²⁷ And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes:

VULC ²⁷ Respondensque Abraham, ait : Quia semel cœpi, loquar ad Dominum meum, cum sim pulvis et cinis.

KJV ²⁸ 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.

VULC ²⁸ Quid si minus quinquaginta justis quinque fuerint ? delebis, propter quadraginta quinque, universam urbem ? Et ait : Non delebo, si invenero ibi quadraginta quinque.

KJV ²⁹ 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.

VULC ²⁹ Rursumque locutus est ad eum : Sin autem quadraginta ibi inventi fuerint, quid facies ? Ait : Non percutiam propter quadraginta.

KJV ³⁰ 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.

VULC ³⁰ Ne quæso, inquit, indigneris, Domine, si loquar : quid si ibi inventi fuerint triginta ? Respondit : Non faciam, si invenero ibi triginta.

KJV ³¹ 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.

VULC ³¹ Quia semel, ait, cœpi loquar ad Dominum meum : quid si ibi inventi fuerint viginti ? Ait : Non interficiam propter viginti.

KJV ³² 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.

VULC ³² Obsecro, inquit, ne irascaris, Domine, si loquar adhuc semel : quid si inventi fuerint ibi decem ? Et dixit : Non delebo propter decem.

KJV ³³ And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.

VULC ³³ Abiitque Dominus, postquam cessavit loqui ad Abraham : et ille reversus est in locum suum.
