Genesis 18:1 ASV: 


Sure, here's the ASV translation of: 
Genesis 18:1: 
And Jehovah appeared unto him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

Genesis 18:2: 
and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood over against him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,

Genesis 18:3: 
and said, My lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:

Genesis 18:4: 
let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:

Genesis 18:5: 
and I will fetch a morsel of bread, and strengthen ye your heart; after that ye shall pass on: forasmuch as ye are come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.

Genesis 18:6: 
And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.

Genesis 18:7: 
And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto the servant; and he hasted to dress it.

Genesis 18:8: 
And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.

Genesis 18:9: 
And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.

Genesis 18:10: 
And he said, I will certainly return unto thee when the season cometh round; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.

Genesis 18:11: 
Now Abraham and Sarah were old, `and' well stricken in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

Genesis 18:12: 
And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?

Genesis 18:13: 
And Jehovah said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, who am old?

Genesis 18:14: 
Is anything too hard for Jehovah? At the set time I will return unto thee, when the season cometh round, and Sarah shall have a son.

Genesis 18:15: 
Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.

Genesis 18:16: 
And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.

Genesis 18:17: 
And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham that which I do;

Genesis 18:18: 
seeing that Abraham had surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

Genesis 18:19: 
For 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 Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

Genesis 18:20: 
And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

Genesis 18:21: 
I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.

Genesis 18:22: 
And the men turned from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before Jehovah.

Genesis 18:23: 
And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou consume the righteous with the wicked?

Genesis 18:24: 
Peradventure there are fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?

Genesis 18:25: 
That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked; that be far from thee: shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

Genesis 18:26: 
And Jehovah said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake.

Genesis 18:27: 
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, who am but dust and ashes:

Genesis 18:28: 
peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I find there forty and five.

Genesis 18:29: 
And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for the forty's sake.

Genesis 18:30: 
And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.

Genesis 18:31: 
And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the twenty's sake.

Genesis 18:32: 
And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten's sake.

Genesis 18:33: 
And Jehovah went his way, as soon as he had left off communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
