Kniha Genezis

1 (CPDV) Then the Lord appeared to him, in the steep valley of Mamre, when he was sitting at the door of his tent, in the very heat of the day.
1 (KAT) A znova sa mu zjavil Pán pri terebintoch Mamreho, keď za najväčšej horúčavy dňa sedel pri vchode do stanu.

2 (CPDV) And when he had lifted up his eyes, there appeared to him three men, standing near him. When he had seen them, he ran to meet them from the door of his tent, and he reverenced them on the ground.
2 (KAT) Keď zdvihol oči, videl neďaleko seba stáť troch mužov. Len čo ich zbadal, utekal im od vchodu svojho stanu v ústrety, poklonil sa až k zemi

3 (CPDV) And he said: “If I, O lord, have found grace in your eyes, do not pass by your servant.
3 (KAT) a povedal: „Pane, ak nachádzam milosť v tvojich očiach, neobíď svojho služobníka;

4 (CPDV) But I will bring a little water, and you may wash your feet and rest under the tree.
4 (KAT) donesie sa trochu vody, umyte si nohy a odpočiňte si pod stromom!

5 (CPDV) And I will set out a meal of bread, so that you may strengthen your heart; after this you will pass on. It is for this reason that you have turned aside to your servant.” And they said, “Do as you have spoken.”
5 (KAT) Prinesiem kúsok chleba a posilníte sa. Potom pôjdete ďalej. Veď prečože by ste mali prejsť popri svojom služobníkovi?!“ Oni odpovedali: „Urob, ako vravíš!“

6 (CPDV) Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and he said to her, “Quickly, mix together three measures of the finest wheat flour and make loaves baked under the ashes.”
6 (KAT) Abrahám sa poponáhľal do Sárinho (oddelenia) stanu a povedal: „Zober rýchlo tri miery jemnej múky, zamies a napeč podplamenníkov!“

7 (CPDV) In truth, he himself ran to the herd, and he took a calf from there, very tender and very good, and he gave it to a servant, who hurried and boiled it.
7 (KAT) Potom Abrahám bežal k stádu, vybral pekné mladé teľa, dal ho sluhovi a on sa poponáhľal pripraviť ho.

8 (CPDV) Likewise, he took butter and milk, and the calf which he had boiled, and he placed it before them. Yet truly, he himself stood near them under the tree.
8 (KAT) Potom priniesol maslo, sladké mlieko i teľa, ktoré dal pripraviť, a predložil im to. Sám však ostal stáť opodiaľ pod stromom, kým oni jedli.

9 (CPDV) And when they had eaten, they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” He answered, “Behold, she is in the tent.”
9 (KAT) Tu sa ho opýtali: „Kde je tvoja žena Sára?“ On odpovedal: „Tu v stane.“

10 (CPDV) And he said to him, “When returning, I will come to you at this time, with life as a companion, and your wife Sarah will have a son.” Hearing this, Sarah laughed behind the door of the tent.
10 (KAT) Vtedy mu on povedal: „O rok v tomto čase sa vrátim a tvoja žena Sára bude mať už syna.“ Sára načúvala pri vchode do stanu, ktorý bol za jej chrbtom.

11 (CPDV) Now they were both old, and in an advanced state of life, and it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
11 (KAT) Abrahám a Sára boli starí, pokročilí vekom; Sáre sa už nestávalo, čo sa stáva ženám.

12 (CPDV) And she laughed secretly, saying, 10 “After I have grown old, and my lord is elderly, shall I give myself to the work of delight?”
12 (KAT) Preto sa Sára sama v sebe zasmiala, mysliac si: „Teraz, keď som stará, budem mať rozkoš? A môj pán je tiež už starec!“

13 (CPDV) Then the Lord said to Abraham: “Why did Sarah laugh, saying: ‘How can I, an old woman, actually give birth?’
13 (KAT) Tu Pán povedal Abrahámovi: „Prečo sa Sára smeje a myslí si pri tom: »Mohla by som naozaj ešte porodiť, takáto starena?«

14 (CPDV) Is anything difficult for God? According to the announcement, he will return to you at this same time, with life as a companion, and Sarah will have a son.”
14 (KAT) Je azda Pánovi nejaká vec nemožná? O rok v tomto čase sa vrátim k tebe a Sára bude mať syna!“

15 (CPDV) Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not laugh.” For she was terribly afraid. But the Lord said, “It is not so; for you did laugh.”
15 (KAT) Sára zapierala: „Ja som sa nesmiala!“ Bála sa totiž. On však povedal: „Nie. Smiala si sa.“

16 (CPDV) Therefore, when the men had risen up from there, they directed their eyes against Sodom. And Abraham traveled with them, leading them.
16 (KAT) Mužovia sa potom odtiaľ pobrali a zamierili k Sodome. Abrahám išiel s nimi, aby ich odprevadil.

17 (CPDV) And the Lord said: “How could I hide what I am about to do from Abraham,
17 (KAT) A Pán prehovoril: „Mám pred Abrahámom tajiť, čo chcem urobiť?!

18 (CPDV) since he will become a great and very robust nation, and in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed?
18 (KAT) Veď z Abraháma sa má stať veľký a mocný národ a v ňom majú byť požehnané všetky národy zeme.

19 (CPDV) For I know that he will instruct his sons, and his household after him, to keep to the way of the Lord, and to act with judgment and justice, so that, for the sake of Abraham, the Lord may bring about all the things that he has spoken to him.”
19 (KAT) Nuž oznámim mu to, lebo on prikáže svojim synom a svojmu domu po sebe zachovávať Pánovu cestu, konať podľa spravodlivosti a práva, aby tak Pán splnil Abrahámovi všetko, čo mu prisľúbil.“

20 (CPDV) And so the Lord said, “The outcry from Sodom and Gomorrah has been multiplied, and their sin has become exceedingly grievous.
20 (KAT) Preto Pán povedal: „Žaloba na Sodomu a Gomoru je veľká a ich hriech je veľmi ťažký.

21 (CPDV) I will descend and see whether they have fulfilled the work of the outcry that has reached me, or whether it is not so, in order that I may know.”
21 (KAT) Zostúpim, aby som sa presvedčil, či naozaj tak robia, aká je obžaloba, čo došla ku mne, a či nie. Chcem to vedieť.“

22 (CPDV) And they turned themselves from there, and they went toward Sodom. Yet in truth, Abraham still stood in the sight of the Lord.
22 (KAT) Mužovia sa potom odtiaľ obrátili a išli do Sodomy, kým Abrahám ostal ešte stáť pred Pánom.

23 (CPDV) And as they drew near, he said: “Will you destroy the just with the impious?
23 (KAT) Tu Abrahám pristúpil bližšie a povedal: „Zahubíš azda spravodlivého spolu s bezbožným?

24 (CPDV) If there were fifty of the just in the city, will they perish with the rest? And will you not spare that place for the sake of fifty of the just, if they were in it?
24 (KAT) Možno, že je v meste päťdesiat spravodlivých. Vari ich zahubíš, alebo radšej odpustíš mestu kvôli päťdesiatim spravodlivým, čo sú v ňom?

25 (CPDV) Far be it from you to do this thing, and to kill the just with the impious, and for the just to be treated like the impious. No, this is not like you. You judge all the earth; you would never make such a judgment.”
25 (KAT) Nech je ďaleko od teba, že by si takto robil, usmrcoval spravodlivého s bezbožným! Takto by sa rovnako vodilo spravodlivému i bezbožnému. To nech je ďaleko od teba! Ty, ktorý súdiš celú zem, nebudeš takto súdiť!“

26 (CPDV) And the Lord said to him, “If I find in Sodom fifty of the just in the midst of the city, I will release the entire place because of them.”
26 (KAT) Pán mu povedal: „Ak v meste Sodome nájdem päťdesiat spravodlivých, kvôli nim odpustím celému mestu.“

27 (CPDV) And Abraham responded by saying: “Since now I have begun, I will speak to my Lord, though I am dust and ashes.
27 (KAT) Abrahám však začal znova a povedal: „Hľa, opovážil som sa rozprávať s Pánom, hoci som len prach a popol.

28 (CPDV) What if there were five less than fifty of the just? Would you, despite the forty-five, eliminate the entire city?” And he said, “I will not eliminate it, if I find forty-five there.”
28 (KAT) Možno, že do päťdesiat budú chýbať piati spravodliví. Zničil by si kvôli piatim celé mesto?“ On odpovedal: „Nezničím, ak ich tam nájdem štyridsaťpäť.“

29 (CPDV) And again he said to him, “But if forty were found there, what would you do?” He said, “I will not strike, for the sake of the forty.”
29 (KAT) A on mu ďalej hovoril: „A čo, keď sa ich tam nájde len štyridsať?“ On odpovedal: „Neurobím to kvôli štyridsiatim.“

30 (CPDV) “I ask you,” he said, “not to be angry, Lord, if I speak. What if thirty were found there?” He responded, “I will not act, if I find thirty there.”
30 (KAT) Potom povedal: „Ach, nehnevaj sa, Pane, keď ešte hovorím. A ak sa ich tam nájde len tridsať?“ Odpovedal: „Neurobím to, ak ich tam nájdem tridsať.“

31 (CPDV) “Since now I have begun,” he said, “I will speak to my Lord. What if twenty were found there?” He said, “I will not put to death, for the sake of the twenty.”
31 (KAT) A zasa povedal: „Hľa, začal som hovoriť svojmu Pánovi: Čo bude, ak sa ich tam nájde len dvadsať?“ A on odvetil: „Nezahubím (ich) kvôli dvadsiatim.“

32 (CPDV) “I beg you,” he said, “not to be angry, Lord, if I speak yet once more. What if ten were found there?” And he said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten.”
32 (KAT) A ešte povedal: „Ach, nehnevaj sa, Pane, že ešte raz vravím. Ak sa ich tam nájde len desať?“ On odpovedal: „Nezahubím kvôli desiatim.“ Keď Pán dokončil rozhovor s Abrahámom, odišiel a Abrahám sa vrátil na svoje miesto.

33 (CPDV) And the Lord departed, after he had ceased speaking to Abraham, who then returned to his place.
