They said, "Very well, do as you have said."  

^18:6Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Quickly make ready three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes." ^18:7Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress it. ^18:8He 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. 

창18:9 사라의 웃음과 출생 약속  
^18:9They said to him, "Where is Sarah, your wife?  

He said, "See, in the tent."  

^18:10He 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. ^18:11Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. It had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. ^18:12Sarah laughed within herself, saying, "After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"  

^18:13Yahweh said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, 'Will I really bear a child, yet I am old?' ^18:14Is 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."  

^18:15Then Sarah denied, saying, "I didn't laugh," for she was afraid."  

He said, "No, but you did laugh." 

창18:16 소돔을 위한 아브라함의 기도  
^18:16The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way. ^18:17Yahweh said, "Will I hide from Abraham what I do, ^18:18seeing that Abraham has surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him? ^18:19For 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." ^18:20Yahweh said, "Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous, ^18:21I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come to me. If not, I will know." 

창18:22 아브라함의 중보 기도  
^18:22The men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham stood yet before Yahweh. ^18:23Abraham drew near, and said, "Will you consume the righteous with the wicked? ^18:24What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are therein? ^18:25Be it far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn't the Judge of all the earth do right?"  

^18:26Yahweh said, "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake." ^18:27Abraham answered, "See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, who am but dust and ashes. ^18:28What 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."  

^18:29He 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."  

^18:30He 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."  

^18:31He 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."  

^18:32He said, "Oh don't let the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once. What if ten are found there?"  

He said, "I will not destroy it for the ten's sake."  

^18:33Yahweh went his way, as soon as he had finished communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place. 

They said, "No, but we will stay in the street all night."  

^19:3He urged them greatly, and they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. 

창19:4 소돔의 죄악  
^19:4But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter. ^19:5They called to Lot, and said to him, "Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them."  

^19:6Lot went out to them to the door, and shut the door after him. ^19:7He said, "Please, my brothers, don't act so wickedly. ^19:8See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and do you to them as is good in your eyes. Only don't do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof."  

^19:9They said, "Stand back!" They said, "This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he appoints himself a judge. Now will we deal worse with you, than with them!" They pressed hard on the man, even Lot, and drew near to break the door. ^19:10But the men put forth their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door. ^19:11They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.  

^19:12The men said to Lot, "Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whoever you have in the city, bring them out of the place: ^19:13for we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is grown great before Yahweh. Yahweh has sent us to destroy it."  

^19:14Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, "Get up! Get out of this place, for Yahweh will destroy the city."  

But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking. 

창19:15 롯의 구원  
^19:15When the morning arose, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, "Arise, take your wife, and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city." ^19:16But he lingered; and the men laid hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters, Yahweh being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city. ^19:17It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, "Escape for your life! Don't look behind you, neither stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed!"  

^19:18Lot said to them, "Oh, not so, my lord. ^19:19See now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your lovingkindness, which you have shown to me in saving my life. I can't escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die. ^19:20See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (isn't it a little one?), and my soul will live."  

^19:21He said to him, "Behold, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken. ^19:22Hurry, escape there, for I can't do anything until you get there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.  

^19:23The sun was risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar. 

창19:24 유황 심판  
^19:24Then Yahweh rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from Yahweh out of the sky. ^19:25He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground. ^19:26But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.  

^19:27Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Yahweh. ^19:28He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and looked, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.  

^19:29It happened, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived. 

창19:30 모압과 암몬족의 기원  
^19:30Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters. ^19:31The firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth. ^19:32Come, let's make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father's seed." ^19:33They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn't know when she lay down, nor when she arose. ^19:34It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, "Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine again, tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father's seed." ^19:35They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger arose, and lay with him. He didn't know when she lay down, nor when she arose. ^19:36Thus both of Lot's daughters were with child by their father. ^19:37The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. The same is the father of the Moabites to this day. ^19:38The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. The same is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.

^20:4Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, "Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation? ^20:5Didn't he tell me, 'She is my sister?' She, even she herself said, 'He is my brother.' In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands have I done this."  

^20:6God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn't allow you to touch her. ^20:7Now therefore, restore the man's wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you don't restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours. 

창20:8 아비멜렉의 책망  
^20:8Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. The men were very scared. ^20:9Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, "What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done!" ^20:10Abimelech said to Abraham, "What did you see, that you have done this thing?" 

창20:11 아브라함의 이유  
^20:11Abraham said, "Because I thought, 'Surely the fear of God is not in this place. They will kill me for my wife's sake.' ^20:12Moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. ^20:13It happened, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, 'This is your kindness which you shall show to me. Everywhere that we go, say of me, "He is my brother."'" 

창20:14 아비멜렉의 보상  
^20:14Abimelech took sheep and oxen, men-servants and women-servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife to him. ^20:15Abimelech said, "Behold, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you." ^20:16To Sarah he said, "Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all that are with you. In front of all you are vindicated." 

창20:17 아브라함의 기도  
^20:17Abraham prayed to God. God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants, and they bore children. ^20:18For Yahweh had closed up tight all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
