말씀선포 ㅣ 창세기18:16~33

18:16 그 사람들이 거기서 일어나서 소돔으로 향하고 아브라함은 그들을 전송하러 함께 나가니라  

18:17 여호와께서 이르시되 내가 하려는 것을 아브라함에게 숨기겠느냐  

18:18 아브라함은 강대한 나라가 되고 천하 만민은 그로 말미암아 복을 받게 될 것이 아니냐  

18:19 내가 그로 그 자식과 권속에게 명하여 여호와의 도를 지켜 의와 공도를 행하게 하려고 그를 택하였나니 이는 나 여호와가 아브라함에게 대하여 말한 일을 이루려 함이니라 

18:20 여호와께서 또 이르시되 소돔과 고모라에 대한 부르짖음이 크고 그 죄악이 심히 무거우니  

18:21 내가 이제 내려가서 그 모든 행한 것이 과연 내게 들린 부르짖음과 같은지 그렇지 않은지 내가 보고 알려 하노라  

18:22 그 사람들이 거기서 떠나 소돔으로 향하여 가고 아브라함은 여호와 앞에 그대로 섰더니  

18:23 아브라함이 가까이 나아가 이르되 주께서 의인을 악인과 함께 멸하려 하시나이까  

18:24 그 성 중에 의인 오십 명이 있을지라도 주께서 그 곳을 멸하시고 그 오십 의인을 위하여 용서하지 아니하시리이까  

18:25 주께서 이같이 하사 의인을 악인과 함께 죽이심은 부당하오며 의인과 악인을 같이 하심도 부당하니이다 세상을 심판하시는 이가 정의를 행하실 것이 아니니이까  

18:26 여호와께서 이르시되 내가 만일 소돔 성읍 가운데에서 의인 오십 명을 찾으면 그들을 위하여 온 지역을 용서하리라  

18:27 아브라함이 대답하여 이르되 나는 티끌이나 재와 같사오나 감히 주께 아뢰나이다  

18:28 오십 의인 중에 오 명이 부족하다면 그 오 명이 부족함으로 말미암아 온 성읍을 멸하시리이까 이르시되 내가 거기서 사십오 명을 찾으면 멸하지 아니하리라  

18:29 아브라함이 또 아뢰어 이르되 거기서 사십 명을 찾으시면 어찌 하려 하시나이까 이르시되 사십 명으로 말미암아 멸하지 아니하리라  

18:30 아브라함이 이르되 내 주여 노하지 마시옵고 말씀하게 하옵소서 거기서 삼십 명을 찾으시면 어찌 하려 하시나이까 이르시되 내가 거기서 삼십 명을 찾으면 그리하지 아니하리라  

18:31 아브라함이 또 이르되 내가 감히 내 주께 아뢰나이다 거기서 이십 명을 찾으시면 어찌 하려 하시나이까 이르시되 내가 이십 명으로 말미암아 그리하지 아니하리라  

18:32 아브라함이 또 이르되 주는 노하지 마옵소서 내가 이번만 더 아뢰리이다 거기서 십 명을 찾으시면 어찌 하려 하시나이까 이르시되 내가 십 명으로 말미암아 멸하지 아니하리라  

18:33 여호와께서 아브라함과 말씀을 마치시고 가시니 아브라함도 자기 곳으로 돌아갔더라 

18:16 When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked 

         along with them to see them on their way.

18:17 Then the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?

18:18 Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be 

         blessed through him.

18:19 For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him 

         to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring

         about for Abraham what he has promised him."

18:20 Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin 

         so grievous

18:21 that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached

         me. If not, I will know."

18:22 The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before 

         the LORD.

18:23 Then Abraham approached him and said: "Will you sweep away the righteous with the 

         wicked?

18:24 What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not 

         spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it?

18:25 Far be it from you to do such a thing-to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating

         the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth

         do right?"

18:26 The LORD said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole 

         place for their sake."

18:27 Then Abraham spoke up again: "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, 

         though I am nothing but dust and ashes,

18:28 what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city 

         because of five people?" "If I find forty-five there," he said, "I will not destroy it."

18:29 Once again he spoke to him, "What if only forty are found there?" He said, "For the sake of 

         forty, I will not do it."

18:30 Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be 

         found there?" He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there."

18:31 Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty 

         can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it."

18:32 Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only 

         ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it."

18:33 When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home
