וַ֠יֹּאמֶר
and=he/it_said
Make sure it is clear in your translation that Abraham is speaking here, not Yahweh. Alternate translation: “Then Abraham asked him” or “Then Abraham pleaded with Yahweh,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
אַל נָ֞א יִ֤חַר לַֽאדֹנָי֙
not now angry to,Lord,my
Abraham addresses Yahweh using the third person and the title Lord to show him honor and respect. Consider what is the best way to do that in your language. Alternate translation: “My Master, please do not be angry at me,”
וַאֲדַבֵּ֔רָה
and,speak
Alternate translation: “but let me say something else:” or “rather let me ask you another question:”
אוּלַ֛י
suppose
Alternate translation: “Suppose that”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
יִמָּצְא֥וּן & שְׁלֹשִׁ֑ים
found, & thirty
If you use the numeral “30” here in your translation, make sure that it will not get confused with the verse number. Alternate translation: “only 30 righteous people are found” or “you find only 30 righteous people” or “there are only 30 righteous people”
שָׁ֖ם
there
Alternate translation: “living in the city?”
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙
and=he/it_said
Make sure it is clear in your translation that Yahweh is speaking here, not Abraham. Alternate translation: “Yahweh replied,” or “He answered him,”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
לֹ֣א אֶֽעֱשֶׂ֔ה אִם אֶמְצָ֥א שָׁ֖ם שְׁלֹשִֽׁים
not do if find there thirty
See how you translated a similar sentence at the end of verse 28. Alternate translation: “I will not destroy the city if I find 30 righteous people living there.” or “If I find 30 righteous people living in the city, I will not destroy it.”
18:16-33 God took Abraham into his confidence as his prophet (18:16-21; see 20:7); Abraham, in turn, interceded for Sodom (18:23-32; see Heb 7:23-26). God is able to do whatever he chooses to do; this passage affirms that it will be just and right.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
