- 耶和華說、我若在所多瑪城裡見有五十個義人、我就為他們的緣故、饒恕那地方的眾人。
- 亞伯拉罕說、我雖然是灰塵、還敢對主說話.
- 假若這五十個義人短了五個、你就因為短了五個毀滅全城麼.他說、我在那裡若見有四十五個、也不毀滅那城。
- 亞伯拉罕又對他說、假若在那裡見有四十個怎麼樣呢.他說、為這四十個的緣故、我也不作這事。
- 亞伯拉罕說、求主不要動怒、容我說.假若在那裡見有三十個怎麼樣呢.他說、我在那裡若見有三十個、我也不作這事。

- The LORD said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake."
- 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,
- 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."
- 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."
- 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."
