- 耶和华说,我若在所多玛城里见有五十个义人,我就为他们的缘故饶恕那地方的众人。
- 亚伯拉罕说,我虽然是灰尘,还敢对主说话。
- 假若这五十个义人短了五个,你就因为短了五个毁灭全城麽。他说,我在那里若见有四十五个,也不毁灭那城。
- 亚伯拉罕又对他说,假若在那里见有四十个怎麽样呢。他说,为这四十个的缘故,我也不作这事。
- 亚伯拉罕说,求主不要动怒,容我说。假若在那里见有三十个怎麽样呢。他说,我在那里若见有三十个,我也不作这事。

- 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."
