اَلتَّكْوِينُ 19
| فَجَاءَ ٱلْمَلَاكَانِ إِلَى سَدُومَ مَسَاءً، وَكَانَ لُوطٌ جَالِسًا فِي بَابِ سَدُومَ. فَلَمَّا رَآهُمَا لُوطٌ قَامَ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِهِمَا، وَسَجَدَ بِوَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١ 1 |
And two of the messengers come toward Sodom at evening, and Lot is sitting at the gate of Sodom, and Lot sees, and rises to meet them, and bows himself—face to the earth,
| وَقَالَ: «يَا سَيِّدَيَّ، مِيلَا إِلَى بَيْتِ عَبْدِكُمَا وَبِيتَا وَٱغْسِلَا أَرْجُلَكُمَا، ثُمَّ تُبَكِّرَانِ وَتَذْهَبَانِ فِي طَرِيقِكُمَا». فَقَالَا: «لَا، بَلْ فِي ٱلسَّاحَةِ نَبِيتُ». | ٢ 2 |
and he says, “Now behold, my lords, please turn aside to the house of your servant, and lodge, and wash your feet—then you have risen early and gone on your way”; and they say, “No, but we lodge in the broad place.”
| فَأَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِمَا جِدًّا، فَمَالَا إِلَيْهِ وَدَخَلَا بَيْتَهُ، فَصَنَعَ لَهُمَا ضِيَافَةً وَخَبَزَ فَطِيرًا فَأَكَلَا. | ٣ 3 |
And he presses on them greatly, and they turn aside to him, and come into his house; and he makes a banquet for them, and has baked unleavened things; and they eat.
| وَقَبْلَمَا ٱضْطَجَعَا أَحَاطَ بِٱلْبَيْتِ رِجَالُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، رِجَالُ سَدُومَ، مِنَ ٱلْحَدَثِ إِلَى ٱلشَّيْخِ، كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ مِنْ أَقْصَاهَا. | ٤ 4 |
Before they lie down, the men of the city—men of Sodom—have surrounded the house, from young even to aged, all the people from the extremity;
| فَنَادَوْا لُوطًا وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَيْنَ ٱلرَّجُلَانِ ٱللَّذَانِ دَخَلَا إِلَيْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةَ؟ أَخْرِجْهُمَا إِلَيْنَا لِنَعْرِفَهُمَا». | ٥ 5 |
and they call to Lot and say to him, “Where [are] the men who have come to you tonight? Bring them out to us, and we know them.”
| فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ لُوطٌ إِلَى ٱلْبَابِ وَأَغْلَقَ ٱلْبَابَ وَرَاءَهُ | ٦ 6 |
And Lot goes out to them, to the opening, and the door has shut behind him,
| وَقَالَ: «لَا تَفْعَلُوا شَرًّا يَا إِخْوَتِي. | ٧ 7 |
and says, “Please, my brothers, do not do evil;
| هُوَذَا لِي ٱبْنَتَانِ لَمْ تَعْرِفَا رَجُلًا. أُخْرِجُهُمَا إِلَيْكُمْ فَٱفْعَلُوا بِهِمَا كَمَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عُيُونِكُمْ. وَأَمَّا هَذَانِ ٱلرَّجُلَانِ فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا بِهِمَا شَيْئًا، لِأَنَّهُمَا قَدْ دَخَلَا تَحْتَ ظِلِّ سَقْفِي». | ٨ 8 |
now behold, I have two daughters who have not known anyone; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them as [is] good in your eyes; only do nothing to these men, for therefore they have come in within the shadow of my roof.”
| فَقَالُوا: «ٱبْعُدْ إِلَى هُنَاكَ». ثُمَّ قَالُوا: «جَاءَ هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ لِيَتَغَرَّبَ، وَهُوَ يَحْكُمُ حُكْمًا. ٱلْآنَ نَفْعَلُ بِكَ شَرًّا أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمَا». فَأَلَحُّوا عَلَى ٱلْرَّجُلِ لُوطٍ جِدًّا وَتَقَدَّمُوا لِيُكَسِّرُوا ٱلْبَابَ، | ٩ 9 |
And they say, “Come near here”; they also say, “This one has come to sojourn, and he certainly judges! Now, we do evil to you more than [to] them”; and they press against the man, against Lot greatly, and come near to break the door.
| فَمَدَّ ٱلرَّجُلَانِ أَيْدِيَهُمَا وَأَدْخَلَا لُوطًا إِلَيْهِمَا إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ وَأَغْلَقَا ٱلْبَابَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And the men put forth their hand, and bring in Lot to them, into the house, and have shut the door;
| وَأَمَّا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى بَابِ ٱلْبَيْتِ فَضَرَبَاهُمْ بِٱلْعَمَى، مِنَ ٱلصَّغِيرِ إِلَى ٱلْكَبِيرِ، فَعَجِزُوا عَنْ أَنْ يَجِدُوا ٱلْبَابَ. | ١١ 11 |
and the men who [are] at the opening of the house they have struck with blindness, from small even to great, and they weary themselves to find the opening.
| وَقَالَ ٱلرَّجُلَانِ لِلُوطٍ: «مَنْ لَكَ أَيْضًا هَهُنَا؟ أَصْهَارَكَ وَبَنِيكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَكُلَّ مَنْ لَكَ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، أَخْرِجْ مِنَ ٱلْمَكَانِ، | ١٢ 12 |
And the men say to Lot, “Whom have you here still? Son-in-law, your sons also, and your daughters, and all whom you have in the city, bring out from this place;
| لِأَنَّنَا مُهْلِكَانِ هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانَ، إِذْ قَدْ عَظُمَ صُرَاخُهُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَأَرْسَلَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ لِنُهْلِكَهُ». | ١٣ 13 |
for we are destroying this place, for their cry has been great [before] the face of YHWH, and YHWH does send us to destroy it.”
| فَخَرَجَ لُوطٌ وَكَلَّمَ أَصْهَارَهُ ٱلْآخِذِينَ بَنَاتِهِ وَقَالَ: «قُومُوا ٱخْرُجُوا مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مُهْلِكٌ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ». فَكَانَ كَمَازِحٍ فِي أَعْيُنِ أَصْهَارِهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
And Lot goes out and speaks to his sons-in-law, those taking his daughters, and says, “Rise, go out from this place, for YHWH is destroying the city”; and he is as [one] mocking in the eyes of his sons-in-law.
| وَلَمَّا طَلَعَ ٱلْفَجْرُ كَانَ ٱلْمَلَاكَانِ يُعَجِّلَانِ لُوطًا قَائِلَيْنِ: «قُمْ خُذِ ٱمْرَأَتَكَ وَٱبْنَتَيْكَ ٱلْمَوْجُودَتَيْنِ لِئَلَّا تَهْلِكَ بِإِثْمِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ». | ١٥ 15 |
And when the dawn has ascended, then the messengers press on Lot, saying, “Rise, take your wife, and your two daughters who are found present, lest you are consumed in the iniquity of the city.”
| وَلَمَّا تَوَانَى، أَمْسَكَ ٱلرَّجُلَانِ بِيَدِهِ وَبِيَدِ ٱمْرَأَتِهِ وَبِيَدِ ٱبْنَتَيْهِ، لِشَفَقَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَخْرَجَاهُ وَوَضَعَاهُ خَارِجَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. | ١٦ 16 |
And he lingers, and the men lay hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters, through the mercy of YHWH to him, and they bring him out, and cause him to rest outside the city.
| وَكَانَ لَمَّا أَخْرَجَاهُمْ إِلَى خَارِجٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «ٱهْرُبْ لِحَيَاتِكَ. لَا تَنْظُرْ إِلَى وَرَائِكَ، وَلَا تَقِفْ فِي كُلِّ ٱلدَّائِرَةِ. ٱهْرُبْ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ لِئَلَّا تَهْلِكَ». | ١٧ 17 |
And it comes to pass, when he has brought them outside, that he says, “Escape for your life; do not look behind you, nor stand in all the circuit; escape to the mountain, lest you are consumed.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُمَا لُوطٌ: «لَا يَا سَيِّدُ. | ١٨ 18 |
And Lot says to them, “Oh not [so], my lord;
| هُوَذَا عَبْدُكَ قَدْ وَجَدَ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ، وَعَظَّمْتَ لُطْفَكَ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعْتَ إِلَيَّ بِٱسْتِبْقَاءِ نَفْسِي، وَأَنَا لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَهْرُبَ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ لَعَلَّ ٱلشَّرَّ يُدْرِكُنِي فَأَمُوتَ. | ١٩ 19 |
now behold, your servant has found grace in your eyes, and you make great your kindness which you have done with me by saving my life, and I am unable to escape to the mountain, lest the evil cleave [to] me and I have died;
| هُوَذَا ٱلْمَدِينَةُ هَذِهِ قَرِيبَةٌ لِلْهَرَبِ إِلَيْهَا وَهِيَ صَغِيرَةٌ. أَهْرُبُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ. أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ صَغِيرَةً؟ فَتَحْيَا نَفْسِي». | ٢٠ 20 |
now behold, this city [is] near to flee there, and it [is] little; please let me escape there (is it not little?) that my soul may live.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: «إِنِّي قَدْ رَفَعْتُ وَجْهَكَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ أَيْضًا، أَنْ لَا أَقْلِبَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ ٱلَّتِي تَكَلَّمْتَ عَنْهَا. | ٢١ 21 |
And he says to him, “Behold, I have also accepted your face for this thing, without overthrowing the city [for] which you have spoken;
| أَسْرِعِ ٱهْرُبْ إِلَى هُنَاكَ لِأَنِّي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَجِيءَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ». لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ ٱسْمُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ «صُوغَرَ». | ٢٢ 22 |
hurry, escape there, for I am not able to do anything until your entering there”; therefore he calls the name of the city Zoar.
| وَإِذْ أَشْرَقَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ دَخَلَ لُوطٌ إِلَى صُوغَرَ، | ٢٣ 23 |
The sun has gone out on the earth, and Lot has entered into Zoar,
| فَأَمْطَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ كِبْرِيتًا وَنَارًا مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
and YHWH has rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah brimstone and fire from YHWH, from the heavens;
| وَقَلَبَ تِلْكَ ٱلْمُدُنَ، وَكُلَّ ٱلدَّائِرَةِ، وَجَمِيعَ سُكَّانِ ٱلْمُدُنِ، وَنَبَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
and He overthrows these cities, and all the circuit, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which is shooting up from the ground.
| وَنَظَرَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ فَصَارَتْ عَمُودَ مِلْحٍ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And his wife looks from behind him, and she becomes a pillar of salt!
| وَبَكَّرَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فِي ٱلْغَدِ إِلَى ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي وَقَفَ فِيهِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، | ٢٧ 27 |
And Abraham rises early in the morning to the place where he has stood [before] the face of YHWH;
| وَتَطَلَّعَ نَحْوَ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ، وَنَحْوَ كُلِّ أَرْضِ ٱلدَّائِرَةِ، وَنَظَرَ وَإِذَا دُخَانُ ٱلْأَرْضِ يَصْعَدُ كَدُخَانِ ٱلْأَتُونِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
and he looks on the face of Sodom and Gomorrah, and on all the face of the land of the circuit, and sees, and behold, the smoke of the land went up as smoke of the furnace.
| وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا أَخْرَبَ ٱللهُ مُدُنَ ٱلدَّائِرَةِ أَنَّ ٱللهَ ذَكَرَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَأَرْسَلَ لُوطًا مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلِٱنْقِلَابِ. حِينَ قَلَبَ ٱلْمُدُنَ ٱلَّتِي سَكَنَ فِيهَا لُوطٌ. | ٢٩ 29 |
And it comes to pass, in God’s destroying the cities of the circuit, that God remembers Abraham, and sends Lot out of the midst of the overthrow in the overthrowing of the cities in which Lot dwelt.
| وَصَعِدَ لُوطٌ مِنْ صُوغَرَ وَسَكَنَ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَٱبْنَتَاهُ مَعَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ خَافَ أَنْ يَسْكُنَ فِي صُوغَرَ. فَسَكَنَ فِي ٱلْمَغَارَةِ هُوَ وَٱبْنَتَاهُ. | ٣٠ 30 |
And Lot goes up out of Zoar, and dwells in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, for he has been afraid of dwelling in Zoar, and he dwells in a cave, he and his two daughters.
| وَقَالَتِ ٱلْبِكْرُ لِلصَّغِيرَةِ: «أَبُونَا قَدْ شَاخَ، وَلَيْسَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ رَجُلٌ لِيَدْخُلَ عَلَيْنَا كَعَادَةِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٣١ 31 |
And the firstborn says to the younger, “Our father [is] old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us, as [is] the way of all the earth;
| هَلُمَّ نَسْقِي أَبَانَا خَمْرًا وَنَضْطَجِعُ مَعَهُ، فَنُحْيِي مِنْ أَبِينَا نَسْلًا». | ٣٢ 32 |
come, we cause our father to drink wine, and lie with him, and preserve a seed from our father.”
| فَسَقَتَا أَبَاهُمَا خَمْرًا فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ، وَدَخَلَتِ ٱلْبِكْرُ وَٱضْطَجَعَتْ مَعَ أَبِيهَا، وَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِٱضْطِجَاعِهَا وَلَا بِقِيَامِهَا. | ٣٣ 33 |
And they cause their father to drink wine on that night; and the firstborn goes in and lies with her father, and he has not known in her lying down or in her rising up.
| وَحَدَثَ فِي ٱلْغَدِ أَنَّ ٱلْبِكْرَ قَالَتْ لِلصَّغِيرَةِ: «إِنِّي قَدِ ٱضْطَجَعْتُ ٱلْبَارِحَةَ مَعَ أَبِي. نَسْقِيهِ خَمْرًا ٱللَّيْلَةَ أَيْضًا فَٱدْخُلِي ٱضْطَجِعِي مَعَهُ، فَنُحْيِيَ مِنْ أَبِينَا نَسْلًا». | ٣٤ 34 |
And it comes to pass, on the next day, that the firstborn says to the younger, “Behold, I have lain with my father last night: we also cause him to drink wine tonight, then go in, lie with him, and we preserve a seed from our father.”
| فَسَقَتَا أَبَاهُمَا خَمْرًا فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ أَيْضًا، وَقَامَتِ ٱلصَّغِيرَةُ وَٱضْطَجَعَتْ مَعَهُ، وَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِٱضْطِجَاعِهَا وَلَا بِقِيَامِهَا، | ٣٥ 35 |
And they cause their father to drink wine on that night also, and the younger rises and lies with him, and he has not known in her lying down or in her rising up.
| فَحَبِلَتِ ٱبْنَتَا لُوطٍ مِنْ أَبِيهِمَا. | ٣٦ 36 |
And the two daughters of Lot conceive from their father,
| فَوَلَدَتِ ٱلْبِكْرُ ٱبْنًا وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «مُوآبَ»، وَهُوَ أَبُو ٱلْمُوآبِيِّينَ إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٣٧ 37 |
and the firstborn bears a son and calls his name Moab: he [is] father of Moab to this day.
| وَٱلصَّغِيرَةُ أَيْضًا وَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «بِنْ عَمِّي»، وَهُوَ أَبُو بَنِي عَمُّونَ إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٣٨ 38 |
As for the younger, she has also born a son and calls his name Ben-Ammi: he [is] father of the sons of Ammon to this day.
