< Битие 19 >
1 Привечер дойдоха двама ангела в Содом; а Лот седеше в Содомската порта. И като ги видя, Лот стана да ги посрещне, поклони се с лице до земята и рече:
That evening, the two angels arrived in Sodom. Lot was sitting at the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to greet them, and prostrated himself with his face on the ground.
2 Ето, господари мои, свърнете, моля, в къщата на слугата си, пренощувайте и си умийте нозете, и утре станете та си идете по пътя. А те рекоха: Не, на улицата ще пренощуваме.
He said to them, “Gentlemen, please stay in my house tonight. You can wash your feet, and tomorrow you can continue your journey.” But they said, “No, we will just sleep in the city square.”
3 Но, като настояваше много, те се отбиха към него и влязоха в къщата му; и той им направи угощение и изпече безквасни хлябове; и ядоха.
But Lot kept insisting strongly that they sleep in his house. So they entered his house with him, and he prepared a meal for them. He baked some bread without yeast, and they ate it.
4 А преди да си легнат те, градските мъже, Содомските жители, млади и стари, всичките люде от всякъде, обиколиха къщата
After they finished eating, before they went to bed, the men of Sodom [city], all of them, from the young ones to the old ones, surrounded the house.
5 и викаха на Лота, казвайки: Где са мъжете, които дойдоха у тебе тая нощ? Изведи ни ги да ги познаем.
They called out to Lot, saying, “Where are the men who came to your house this evening? Bring them out, so that we can have sex with them!” [EUP]
6 А Лот излезе при тях пред вратата, затвори вратата след себе си, и рече:
Lot went outside the house and shut the door behind him, so that they could not go inside.
7 Моля ви се, братя мои, не правете такова нечестие.
He said to them, “My friends, don’t do such an evil thing!
8 Вижте сега, имам две дъщери, които не са познали мъж; тях да ви изведа вън, и сторете с тях, каквото ви се вижда угодно; само на тия мъже не струвайте нищо, понеже затова са влезли по покрива на стрехата ми.
Listen to me. I have two daughters who have never had sex with any man. Let me bring them out to you now, and you can do with them whatever pleases you. But don’t do anything to these men, because they are guests in my house, [so I must protect them]!”
9 Но те рекоха: Махни се нататък. Рекоха още: Той дойде тук самичък и пришелец, а иска още и съдия да стане; ей сега на тебе ще сторим по-голямо зло, отколкото на тях. И насилваха премного човека, Лота, и приближиха се да разбият вратата.
But they replied, “Get out of our way! You are a foreigner; so you have no right to tell us what is right! [If you don’t get out of our way], we will do worse things to you than we will do to them!” Then they lunged towards Lot, and tried forcefully to break down the door.
10 Но мъжете простряха ръце, дръпнаха Лота при себе си, в къщи, и затвориха вратата.
But the two angels opened the door carefully, reached out their hands, and pulled Lot to them inside the house. Then they quickly shut the door.
11 Тоже и поразиха със слепота човеците, които бяха пред вратата на къщата, и малък и голям, тъй щото се умориха, като търсеха вратата.
Then they caused all the men who were outside the door of the house, young and old, to become blind, so that they could not find the door.
12 Тогава мъжете рекоха на Лота: Имаш ли тука друг някой: зет, синове, дъщери и които и да било други, що имаш в града, изведи ги из това място;
Then the two angels said to Lot, “Who else is with you here? If you have sons or sons-in-law or daughters or anyone else in the city who is related to you, take them out of the city,
13 защото ние ще съсипем мястото, понеже силен стана викът им пред Господа, и Господ ни изпрати да го съсипем.
because we are the ones who are going to destroy this place. Yahweh considers that these people are so evil that he sent us to destroy the city.”
14 И тъй, Лот излезе и говори на зетьовете си, които щяха да водят дъщерите му и рече: Станете, излезте из това място, защото Господ ще съсипе града. Но не зетьовете му се видя, че той се шегува.
So Lot went and spoke to the men who had pledged to marry his daughters. He said to them, “Hurry! Get out of this city, because Yahweh is about to destroy it!” But his future sons-in-law thought he was joking.
15 Когато се зазори, ангелите настояваха пред Лота, казвайки: Стани, вземи жена си и двете си дъщери, които са тука, за да не погинеш всред наказанието на тоя град.
As it was about to dawn the next morning, the two angels urged Lot, saying, “Get up quickly! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here with you and leave! If you don’t, you will die when [we destroy/Yahweh destroys] the city!”
16 Но тоя се бавеше; затова мъжете хванаха за ръка него, жена му и двете му дъщери, изведоха го и поставиха го вън от града; понеже Господ го пожали.
When Lot hesitated, the angels grasped his hand and his wife’s hand and the hands of his two daughters. They led them outside the city safely. The angels did that because Yahweh was acting mercifully toward them.
17 И като го изведоха вън, рече единият на Лота: Бягай за живота си; да не погледнеш назад, нито да се спреш някъде в цялата тая равнина; бягай на планината, за да не погинеш.
When they were outside the city, one of the angels said, “[If you want to remain alive], run away quickly! Don’t look back! And don’t stop anywhere in the valley! Flee to the hills! If you don’t, you will die!”
18 А Лот им рече: Ах, Господи, не така!
But Lot said to one of the angels, “No, sir, don’t make me do that!
19 Ето, слугата ти придоби Твоето благоволение, и с опазването на живота ми, Ти правиш още по-голяма милостта, която си показал към мене; но аз не мога да побягна на планината да не би да ме постигне злато и да умра.
Please, listen. You have been pleased with me and have been very kind to me and spared my life. But I cannot flee to the mountain. If I try to do that, I will die in this disaster [PRS].
20 Гледай, моля, твоя град е близо, за да побягна там, и малък е. Нека побягна там, (не е ли малък град?) и така животът ми ще се опази.
But listen to me. There is a town nearby. Let me run to that small town. Let me go there now. It is a small town, but our lives will be saved if we go there.”
21 Той му каза: Ето слушам те и за това нещо, че няма да разоря града, за който ти говори.
One of the angels said to Lot, “I will allow you to do what you have requested [MTY]. I will not destroy the little town you are speaking about.
22 Бързай, бягай там защото Аз не мога да сторя нищо, догде ти не стигнеш там. Затова тоя град се наименува Сигор.
But hurry! Run there, because I cannot destroy anything until you arrive there.” People later called the name of the town Zoar [which means ‘small’, ] because Lot said it was small.
23 Слънцето изгряваше на земята, когато Лот влезе в Сигор.
As the sun was rising, Lot and his family arrived in the town which is now called Zoar.
24 Тогава Господ изля върху Содом и Гомор сяра и огън от Господа от небето.
Then Yahweh caused fire and [burning] sulfur to fall down on Sodom and Gomorrah like rain.
25 Той разори тия градове и цялата равнина, всичките жители на градовете и земните растения.
In that way, he destroyed those cities and all the people who were living in those cities. He also destroyed everything in the valley, including all the plants/vegetation.
26 Но жена му, след него, погледна назад, и стана стълб от сол.
But Lot’s wife stopped and looked back [to see what was happening], so she died, and her body [later] became a pillar of salt.
27 Сутринта Авраам подрани на мястото, дето беше стоял пред Господа;
That morning, Abraham got up and went to the place where he had stood in front of Yahweh.
28 и погледна към Содом и Гомор и към цялата земя на равнината, и, ето видя, че дим, като дим от пещ, се издигаше от земята.
He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and he [was surprised to] see that all over the valley, smoke was rising, like the smoke of a huge furnace.
29 И тъй, когато Бог разоряваше градовете на тая равнина, Бог си спомни за Авраама и изпрати Лота изсред разорението, когато разори градовете, дето живееше Лот.
So, when God destroyed those cities in the valley, he remembered what he had promised Abraham, and he rescued Lot from the disaster that occurred in the cities where Lot had lived.
30 А Лот излезе от Сигор и живееше в планината, и с него двете му дъщери, понеже се боеше да остане в Сигор; затова живееше в една пещера, той и двете му дъщери.
Lot was afraid to stay in Zoar, so he left there and moved with his two daughters to the mountain, and they lived in a cave.
31 Тогава по-старата рече на по-младата: Баща ни е стар, и няма мъж на земята да влезе при нас, според обичая на цялата земя.
One day the older daughter said to (the younger daughter/her sister), “Our father is old, and there is no man in this area who can have sex [EUP] with us, as people all over the earth do.
32 Ела, да упоим баща си с вино и да преспим с него, за да запазим потомството от баща си.
Let’s make our father drink wine until he gets drunk. Then we can have sex with him [EUP] [without him knowing it]. In that way [he will cause us to become pregnant] and we can bear children.”
33 И тъй, оная нощ упоиха баща си с вино; и по-старата влезе та преспа с баща си; а той не усети, нито кога легна тя, нито кога влезе.
So that night they caused their father to become drunk. And the older daughter went in and lay in bed with her father, and he had sex with her, but he was so drunk that he did not know when she lay down with him or when she got up.
34 На другия ден по-старата рече на по-младата: Виж, миналата нощ аз преспах с баща си; да го упоим с вино и тая нощ, та влез ти и преспи с него, за да запазим потомството от баща си.
The next day, his older daughter said to (his younger daughter/her sister), “Listen to me. Last night I slept with our father. Let’s cause him to become drunk again tonight! This time you can go and sleep with him. If he has sex with you, you can become pregnant, and that way you can have a child, too.”
35 И тъй, оная нощ упоиха баща си с вино, и по-младата влезе та преспа с него; а той не усети нито кога легна тя, нито кога стана.
So that night, they caused their father to become drunk with wine again, and then his younger daughter went and slept with him. But again, he was so drunk that he did not know when she lay down with him or when she got up.
36 Така и двете лотови дъщери зачнаха от баща си.
So Lot caused his two daughters to become pregnant.
37 И по-старата роди син и го наименува Моав; той е до днес отец на моавците.
The older one later gave birth to a son, whom she named Moab. He became the ancestor of the Moab people-group.
38 Роди и по-младата син и го наименува Бен-ами; той е и до днес отец на амонците.
The younger one also gave birth to a son, whom she named Ben-Ammi. He became the ancestor of the Ammon people-group.
