Gênesis 18
The Book of Mormon (BOM) vs VC
1 AND it came to pass that they did worship the Lord, and did go forth with me; and we did work timbers of curious workmanship. And the Lord did show me from time to time after what manner I should work the timbers of the ship.
1 O Senhor apareceu a Abraão nos carvalhos de Mambré, quando ele estava assentado à entrada de sua tenda, no maior calor do dia.
2 Now I, Nephi, did not work the timbers after the manner which was learned by men, neither did I build the ship after the manner of men; but I did build it after the manner which the Lord had shown unto me; wherefore, it was not after the manner of men.
2 Abraão levantou os olhos e viu três homens de pé diante dele. Levantou-se no mesmo instante da entrada de sua tenda, veio-lhes ao encontro e prostrou-se por terra.
3 And I, Nephi, did go into the mount oft, and I did pray oft unto the Lord; wherefore the Lord showed unto me great things.
3 "Meus senhores, disse ele, se encontrei graça diante de vossos olhos, não passeis avante sem vos deterdes em casa de vosso servo.
4 And it came to pass that after I had finished the ship, according to the word of the Lord, my brethren beheld that it was good, and that the workmanship thereof was exceedingly fine; wherefore, they did humble themselves again before the Lord.
4 Vou buscar um pouco de água para vos lavar os pés.
5 And it came to pass that the voice of the Lord came unto my father, that we should arise and go down into the ship.
5 Descansai um pouco sob esta árvore. Eu vos trarei um pouco de pão, e assim restaurareis as vossas forças para prosseguirdes o vosso caminho; porque é para isso que passastes perto de vosso servo." Eles responderam: "Faze como disseste."
6 And it came to pass that on the morrow, after we had prepared all things, much fruits and meat from the wilderness, and honey in abundance, and provisions according to that which the Lord had commanded us, we did go down into the ship, with all our loading and our seeds, and whatsoever thing we had brought with us, every one according to his age; wherefore, we did all go down into the ship, with our wives and our children.
6 Abraão foi depressa à tenda de Sara: "Depressa, disse ele, amassa três medidas de farinha e coze pães."
7 And now, my father had begat two sons in the wilderness; the elder was called Jacob and the younger Joseph.
7 Correu em seguida ao rebanho, escolheu um novilho tenro e bom, e deu-o a um criado que o preparou logo.
8 And it came to pass after we had all gone down into the ship, and had taken with us our provisions and things which had been commanded us, we did put forth into the sea and were driven forth before the wind towards the promised land.
8 Tomou manteiga e leite e serviu aos peregrinos juntamente com o novilho preparado, conservando-se de pé junto deles, sob a árvore, enquanto comiam.
9 And after we had been driven forth before the wind for the space of many days, behold, my brethren and the sons of Ishmael and also their wives began to make themselves merry, insomuch that they began to dance, and to sing, and to speak with much rudeness, yea, even that they did forget by what power they had been brought thither; yea, they were lifted up unto exceeding rudeness.
9 E disseram-lhe: "Onde está Sara, tua mulher?" "Ela está na tenda", respondeu ele.
10 And I, Nephi, began to fear exceedingly lest the Lord should be angry with us, and smite us because of our iniquity, that we should be swallowed up in the depths of the sea; wherefore, I, Nephi, began to speak to them with much soberness; but behold they were angry with me, saying: We will not that our younger brother shall be a ruler over us.
10 E ele disse-lhe: "Voltarei à tua casa dentro de um ano, a esta época; e Sara, tua mulher, terá um filho." Ora, Sara ouvia por detrás, à entrada da tenda.
11 And it came to pass that Laman and Lemuel did take me and bind me with cords, and they did treat me with much harshness; nevertheless, the Lord did suffer it that he might show forth his power, unto the fulfilling of his word which he had spoken concerning the wicked.
11 {Abraão e Sara eram velhos, de idade avançada, e Sara tinha já passado da idade.}
12 And it came to pass that after they had bound me insomuch that I could not move, the compass, which had been prepared of the Lord, did cease to work.
12 Ela pôs-se a rir secretamente: "Velha como sou, disse ela consigo mesma, conhecerei ainda o amor? E o meu senhor também é já entrado em anos."
13 Wherefore, they knew not whither they should steer the ship, insomuch that there arose a great storm, yea, a great and terrible tempest, and we were driven back upon the waters for the space of three days; and they began to be frightened exceedingly lest they should be drowned in the sea; nevertheless they did not loose me.
13 O Senhor disse a Abraão: "Por que se riu Sara, dizendo: 'Será verdade que eu teria um filho, velha como sou?'
14 And on the fourth day, which we had been driven back, the tempest began to be exceedingly sore.
14 Será isso porventura uma coisa muito difícil para o Senhor? Em um ano, a esta época, voltarei à tua casa e Sara terá um filho."
15 And it came to pass that we were about to be swallowed up in the depths of the sea. And after we had been driven back upon the waters for the space of four days, my brethren began to see that the judgments of God were upon them, and that they must perish save that they should repent of their iniquities; wherefore, they came unto me, and loosed the bands which were upon my wrists, and behold they had swollen exceedingly; and also mine ankles were much swollen, and great was the soreness thereof.
15 Sara protestou: "Eu não ri", disse ela, pois tinha medo. Mas o Senhor disse-lhe: "Sim, tu riste."
16 Nevertheless, I did look unto my God, and I did praise him all the day long; and I did not murmur against the Lord because of mine afflictions.
16 Os homens levantaram-se e partiram na direção de Sodoma, e Abraão os ia acompanhando.
17 Now my father, Lehi, had said many things unto them, and also unto the sons of Ishmael; but, behold, they did breathe out much threatenings against anyone that should speak for me; and my parents being stricken in years, and having suffered much grief because of their children, they were brought down, yea, even upon their sick-beds.
17 O Senhor disse então: "Acaso poderei ocultar a Abraão o que vou fazer?
18 Because of their grief and much sorrow, and the iniquity of my brethren, they were brought near even to be carried out of this time to meet their God; yea, their grey hairs were about to be brought down to lie low in the dust; yea, even they were near to be cast with sorrow into a watery grave.
18 Pois que Abraão deve tornar-se uma nação grande e poderosa, e todos os povos da terra serão benditos nele.
19 And Jacob and Joseph also, being young, having need of much nourishment, were grieved because of the afflictions of their mother; and also my wife with her tears and prayers, and also my children, did not soften the hearts of my brethren that they would loose me.
19 Eu o escolhi para que ele ordene aos seus filhos e à sua casa depois dele, que guardem os caminhos do Senhor, praticando a justiça e a retidão, para que o Senhor cumpra em seu favor as promessas que lhe fez."
20 And there was nothing save it were the power of God, which threatened them with destruction, could soften their hearts; wherefore, when they saw that they were about to be swallowed up in the depths of the sea they repented of the thing which they had done, insomuch that they loosed me.
20 O Senhor ajuntou: "É imenso o clamor que se eleva de Sodoma e Gomorra, e o seu pecado é muito grande.
21 And it came to pass after they had loosed me, behold, I took the compass, and it did work whither I desired it. And it came to pass that I prayed unto the Lord; and after I had prayed the winds did cease, and the storm did cease, and there was a great calm.
21 Eu vou descer para ver se as suas obras correspondem realmente ao clamor que chega até mim; se assim não for, eu o saberei."
22 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did guide the ship, that we sailed again towards the promised land.
22 Os homens partiram, pois, na direção de Sodoma, enquanto Abraão ficou em presença do Senhor.
23 And it came to pass that after we had sailed for the space of many days *we did arrive at the promised land; and we went forth upon the land, and did pitch our tents; and we did call it the promised land.
23 Abraão aproximou-se e disse: "Fareis o justo perecer com o ímpio?
24 And it came to pass that we did begin to till the earth, and we began to plant seeds; yea, we did put all our seeds into the earth, which we had brought from the land of Jerusalem. And it came to pass that they did grow exceedingly; wherefore, we were blessed in abundance.
24 Talvez haja cinqüenta justos na cidade: fá-los-eis perecer? Não perdoaríeis antes a cidade, em atenção aos cinqüenta justos que nela se poderiam encontrar?
25 And it came to pass that we did find upon the land of promise, as we journeyed in the wilderness, that there were beasts in the forests of every kind, both the cow and the ox, and the ass and the horse, and the goat and the wild goat, and all manner of wild animals, which were for the use of men. And we did find all manner of ore, both of gold, and of silver, and of copper.
25 Não, vós não poderíeis agir assim, matando o justo com o ímpio, e tratando o justo como ímpio! Longe de vós tal pensamento! Não exerceria o juiz de toda a terra a justiça?"

28 Se porventura faltarem cinco aos cinqüenta justos, fareis perecer toda a cidade por causa desses cincos?" "Não a destruirei, respondeu o Senhor, se nela eu encontrar quarenta e cinco justos."

29 Abraão insistiu ainda e disse: "Talvez só haja aí quarenta." "Não destruirei a cidade por causa desses quarenta."

31 Abraão continuou: "Desculpai, se ouso ainda falar ao Senhor: pode ser que só se encontre vinte." "Em atenção aos vinte, não a destruirei."
32 — ausente —
32 Abraão replicou: "Que o Senhor não se irrite se falo ainda uma última vez! Que será, se lá forem achados dez?" E Deus respondeu: "Não a destruirei por causa desses dez."
33 — ausente —
33 E o Senhor retirou-se, depois de ter falado com Abraão, e este voltou para sua casa.
