uW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יֹּאמַ֑ר

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_said my=master if now found graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty in,eyes_of,your not now pass from=under servant_of,your )

Alternate translation: [and said to them]

Note 1 topic: writing-politeness

אֲדֹנָ֗⁠י

my=master

Abraham uses lords here as a polite address to the three men. The Hebrew word “lord” can also be a reference to God, but notice that at this point Abraham probably thought he was talking to men or angels. It was not until later that he realized that one of them was Yahweh (verse 14). Alternate translation: [My masters] or [Gentlemen]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

אִם־נָ֨א מָצָ֤אתִי חֵן֙ בְּ⁠עֵינֶ֔י⁠ךָ

if now found graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_said my=master if now found graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty in,eyes_of,your not now pass from=under servant_of,your )

The pronoun your is singular here in the Hebrew text, and also in the next clause. It could be that Abraham is addressing each of the three men simultaneously, or that he is addressing their leader or spokesman. Alternate translation: [if you are satisfied with me] or [if you would honor me with your presence]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

not now pass from=under (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_said my=master if now found graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty in,eyes_of,your not now pass from=under servant_of,your )

Abraham refers to himself as a servant here in order to show respect to his guests. Alternate translation: [please stay here for a while as my guests]
