Latin (Vulgate)
Quia semel, ait, cœpi loquar ad Dominum meum: quid si ibi inventi fuerint viginti? Ait: Non interficiam propter viginti.
Y dijo: He aquí ahora que he emprendido el hablar á mi Señor: quizá se hallarán allí veinte. No la destruiré, respondió, por amor de los veinte.
And Abraham said, “ Now that I have ventured to speak to the Lord, suppose twenty are found there?” He answered, “ On account of the twenty, I will not destroy it.”
