N\u00e1 b\u00edodh an Tiarna i bhfeirg liom agus\nlabhr\u00f3idh m\u00e9 ar\u00eds. <\/em>Lean\u00faint den l\u00e9acht a bh\u00ed againn an Domhnach seo caite\nan sliocht seo, l\u00e9acht in ar fhear Abrah\u00e1m f\u00e1ilte roimh thri\u00far fear, arbh\nionann agus an Tiarna iad. Bh\u00ed droch-theist ar Sh\u00f3dom agus Ghomor\u00e1 de bharr\nr\u00e1fla\u00ed faoi mh\u00ed-iompar gn\u00e9is. Sa l\u00e9acht seo cuirtear an Tiarna Dia i l\u00e1thair\namhail is d\u00e1 mba mhian leis cuairt a thabhairt go pearsanta ar an gcathair lena\ndheimhni\u00fa d\u00f3 f\u00e9in arbh fh\u00edor do na r\u00e1fla\u00ed. I dt\u00fas na l\u00e9achta t\u00e1 an fhadhb ch\u00e9anna\nagainn agus a bh\u00ed an Domhnach seo caite, is \u00e9 sin le r\u00e1 fir, tri\u00far d\u00edobh, agus\nan Tiarna agus na fir ag feidhmi\u00fa mar shamhail don Tiarna. Is d\u00f3cha gurb aingil\niad na fir, agus i dtraidisi\u00fan amh\u00e1in sa Bh\u00edobla modh amh\u00e1in iad leis an Tiarna\nDia a chur in i\u00fal. Luaitear an Tiarna f\u00e9in san uimhir uatha (Tiarna) sa sliocht\nchomh maith. Mar shampla sa v\u00e9arsa tosaigh is \u00e9 an Tiarna a labhra\u00edonn, ach go\ngairid ina dhiaidh sin deirtear gur imigh na fir leo i dtreo S\u00f3dom, ach gur\nfhan Abrah\u00e1m ina sheasamh i l\u00e1thair an Tiarna. Ionann Abrah\u00e1m i l\u00e1thair an\nTiarna agus an Tiarna le Abrah\u00e1m agus teist den dl\u00fathchairdeas idir Dia agus\ndaoine daonna. Maidir leis an agallamh a leanann idir Abrah\u00e1m agus an Tiarna sa\nsliocht seo, baineann s\u00e9 le fadhb dhomhain dhiagachta, is \u00e9 sin le r\u00e1 d\u00edoltas\nD\u00e9 a imirt ar na f\u00edr\u00e9in agus na peacaigh le ch\u00e9ile, ceist a bhain le c\u00f3ir agus\nceartas D\u00e9. Bh\u00ed taith\u00ed ag Iosrael ar a leith\u00e9id de dh\u00edoltas comhchoiteann i\nthrearscairt Iar\u00fasail\u00e9im le arm na Baibeal\u00f3ine. B\u2019fh\u00e9idir nach bhfuil r\u00e9iteach\nar an fhadhb seo, ach d\u00e9antar an cheist a ch\u00edoradh in Eizic\u00e9il 14:12-23 agus i\nLeabhar I\u00f3b, agus sa l\u00e9acht \u00e1irithe seo. Ach p\u00e9 ar bith ba bhun\u00fas leis an\nl\u00e9acht i Leabhar Genesis, i liot\u00fairge an lae inniu roghna\u00edtear \u00ed le dul le\nl\u00e9acht an tSoisc\u00e9il faoin urna\u00ed. Sa ch\u00e9ad l\u00e9acht seo feictear an Tiarna Dia in\nagallamh le Abrah\u00e1m, duine daonna, agus r\u00e9idh ligint do Abrah\u00e1m margadh a\ndh\u00e9anamh leis. N\u00ed leasc le Dia na hiarratais dhaonna. A mhalairt ar fad:\nfearann s\u00e9 f\u00e1ilte rompu, mar a l\u00e9ireoidh \u00cdosa sa sliocht \u00f3n Soisc\u00e9al inniu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Salm le Freagra<\/em> (Salm 137[138]), Nuair a ghlaoigh m\u00e9 ort d\u2019eist t\u00fa liom, a\nThiarna.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n An Dara\nL\u00e9acht<\/em> (Colasaigh 2:12-14). Bheoigh Dia sibh mar aon le Cr\u00edost, agus\nmhaith s\u00e9 d\u00fainn \u00e1r gcionta.<\/em> Ar an gc\u00e9ad amharc n\u00ed h\u00e9asca br\u00ed bheacht na\nl\u00e9achta seo a fh\u00e1il.

Ni dochar a mheabhru go nduirt P\u00f3l\nn\u00edos luaithe sa litir seo (sliocht l\u00e9ite mar dhara leacht i Dhomhnach 15\nthuas), gurb ghnaoi le Dia an n\u00e1d\u00far diaga (ioml\u00e1ine D\u00e9) a bheith in a chona\u00ed in\n\u00cdosa go hioml\u00e1n.
