Genesis 19
1 Angelo awiri aja anafika ku Sodomu madzulo ndipo Loti anali atakhala pansi pa chipata cha mzindawo. Loti atawaona, anayimirira ndi kukakumana nawo ndipo anaweramitsa mutu wake pansi mwaulemu.
And in the euening there came two Angels to Sodom: and Lot sate at the gate of Sodom, and Lot sawe them, and rose vp to meete them, and he bowed himselfe with his face to the ground.
2 Iye anati, “Ambuye wanga, chonde patukirani ku nyumba kwa mtumiki wanu. Mukhoza kusambitsa mapazi anu ndi kugona usiku uno kenaka nʼkumapitirira ndi ulendo wanu mmamawa.” Iwo anati, “Ayi, tigona panja.”
And he saide, See my Lords, I pray you turne in nowe into your seruants house, and tarie all night, and wash your feete, and ye shall rise vp early and goe your wayes. Who saide, Nay, but we will abide in the streete all night.
3 Koma iye anawawumiriza kwambiri kotero kuti anapita naye pamodzi ku nyumba kwake. Anawakonzera chakudya buledi wopanda yisiti ndipo anadya.
Then he preassed vpon them earnestly, and they turned in to him, and came to his house, and he made them a feast, and did bake vnleauened bread, and they did eate.
4 Alendo aja asanapite kogona, amuna onse achinyamata ndi achikulire ochokera mbali zonse za mzinda wa Sodomu anazinga nyumba ya Loti.
But before they went to bed, the men of the citie, euen the men of Sodom compassed the house rounde about from the yong euen to the olde, all the people from all quarters.
5 Iwo anayitana Loti namufunsa kuti, “Ali kuti amuna aja amene afika kuno usiku womwe uno? Atulutse, utipatse kuti tigone nawo malo amodzi.”
Who crying vnto Lot said to him, Where are the men, which came to thee this night? bring them out vnto vs that we may knowe them.
6 Loti anatuluka panja kukakumana nawo natseka chitseko
Then Lot went out at the doore vnto them, and shut the doore after him,
7 ndipo anati, “Ayi anzanga, musachite zinthu zoyipa zotere.
And said, I pray you, my brethren, do not so wickedly.
8 Taonani, ine ndili ndi ana anga akazi awiri amene sanagonepo ndi mwamuna. Mundilole ndikutulutsireni amenewo ndipo muchite nawo zimene mungafune. Koma musachite chilichonse ndi anthuwa, pakuti iwowa ndi alendo anga ndipo ndiyenera kuwatchinjiriza.”
Beholde nowe, I haue two daughters, which haue not knowen man: them will I bring out now vnto you, and doe to them as seemeth you good: onely vnto these men doe nothing: for therefore are they come vnder the shadowe of my roofe.
9 Iwo anayankha kuti, “Tachoka apa tidutse.” Ndipo anati, “Munthu uyu anabwera kuno ngati mlendo chabe, tsono lero akufuna kuti akhale wotiweruza! Tikukhawulitsa kuposa iwowa.” Anapitiriza kumuwumiriza Loti uja nʼkumasunthira kutsogolo kuti athyole chitseko.
Then they said, Away hence, and they said, He is come alone as a stranger, and shall he iudge and rule? we will nowe deale worse with thee then with them. So they preassed sore vpon Lot himselfe, and came to breake the doore.
10 Koma anthu aja anali mʼkatiwa anasuzumira namukokera Loti uja mʼkati mwa nyumba nʼkutseka chitseko.
But the men put forth their hand and pulled Lot into the house to them and shut to ye doore.
11 Kenaka anawachititsa khungu anthu amene anali panja pa nyumba aja, aangʼono ndi aakulu omwe, kuti asaone pa khomo.
Then they smote the men that were at the doore of the house with blindnes both small and great, so that they were wearie in seeking the doore.
12 Anthu awiri aja anati kwa Loti, “Kodi uli ndi wina aliyense pano, kaya ndi akamwini ako, kaya ndi ana ako aamuna kapena aakazi, kapena aliyense mu mzindamu amene ndi anzako? Atulutse onse muno,
Then the men said vnto Lot, Whom hast thou yet here? either sonne in lawe, or thy sonnes, or thy daughters, or whatsoeuer thou hast in the citie, bring it out of this place.
13 chifukwa tiwononga malo ano. Yehova waona kuti kuyipa kwa anthu a mu mzindawu kwakulitsa. Choncho watituma kuti tiwuwononge.”
For we will destroy this place, because the crye of them is great before the Lord, and the Lord hath sent vs to destroy it.
14 Choncho Loti anatuluka nayankhula ndi akamwini ake amene anali kuyembekezera kukwatira ana ake akazi nati, “Fulumirani, tiyeni tichoke pa malo ano chifukwa Yehova watsala pangʼono kuwononga mzindawu.” Koma akamwini akewo ankayesa kuti akungoselewula.
Then Lot went out and spake vnto his sonnes in lawe, which maried his daughters, and said, Arise, get you out of this place: for the Lord will destroy the citie: but he seemed to his sonnes in lawe as though he had mocked.
15 Mmene kumacha, angelo aja anamufulumizitsa Loti nati, “Nyamuka, tenga mkazi wako ndi ana ako aakazi awiriwo, ndipo mutuluke mu mzindawo kuopa kuti mungaphedwe pamodzi nawo.”
And when the morning arose, the Angels hasted Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife and thy two daughters which are here, lest thou be destroyed in the punishment of the citie.
16 Koma Loti ankakayikabe. Koma Yehova anawachitira chifundo motero kuti anthu aja anagwira mkazi wake ndi ana ake aakazi aja nawatsogolera bwinobwino kuwatulutsa mu mzindawo.
And as he prolonged the time, the men caught both him and his wife, and his two daughters by the hands (the Lord being mercifull vnto him) and they brought him foorth, and set him without the citie.
17 Atangowatulutsa, mmodzi wa angelowo anati, “Thawani kuti mudzipulumutse, musachewuke, musayime pena paliponse mʼchigwamo! Thawirani ku mapiri kuopa kuti mungawonongeke!”
And when they had brought them out, the Angel said, Escape for thy life: looke not behinde thee, neither tarie thou in all the plaine: escape into ye mountaine, least thou be destroyed.
18 Koma Loti anawawuza kuti, “Ayi, ambuye anga chonde musatero!
And Lot saide vnto them, Not so, I pray thee, my Lord.
19 Taonani, Inu mwachitira mtumiki wanu chifundo, ndipo mwaonetsa kukoma mtima kwanu pondipulumutsa. Sindingathawire ku mapiri chifukwa chiwonongekochi chikhoza kundipeza ndisanafike ku mapiriko ndipo ndingafe.
Behold now, thy seruant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercie, which thou hast shewed vnto me in sauing my life: and I cannot escape in the mountaine, least some euill take me, and I die.
20 Koma, chapafupi pomwepa pali mudzi woti ndikhoza kuthamanga nʼkukafikako. Mundilole ndithawireko, ndi waungʼono kwambiri, si choncho? Mukatero, moyo wanga upulumuka.”
See nowe this citie hereby to flee vnto, which is a litle one: Oh let me escape thither: is it not a litle one, and my soule shall liue?
21 Mngeloyo anati kwa iye, “Chabwino, ndavomeranso pempho lako, sindiwononga mudzi ukunenawo.
Then he said vnto him, Beholde, I haue receiued thy request also concerning this thing, that I will not ouerthrow this citie, for the which thou hast spoken.
22 Koma uthawireko mofulumira chifukwa sindichita kena kalikonse mpaka utafikako.” (Nʼchifukwa chake mudziwo unatchedwa Zowari).
Haste thee, saue thee there: for I can doe nothing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the citie was called Zoar.
23 Pamene Loti amafika ku Zowari, nʼkuti dzuwa litatuluka.
The sunne did rise vpon the earth, when Lot entred into Zoar.
24 Ndiye Yehova anathira sulufule wamoto wochokera kumwamba kwa Yehova pa Sodomu ndi Gomora.
Then the Lord rained vpon Sodom and vpon Gomorah brimstone, and fire from the Lord out of heauen,
25 Kotero, anawononga mizindayo, chigwa chonse pamodzi ndi onse okhala mʼmizindayo. Anawononganso zomera zonse za mʼdzikolo.
And ouerthrewe those cities and all the plaine, and all the inhabitants of the cities; and that that grewe vpon the earth.
26 Koma mkazi wa Loti anachewuka ndipo anasanduka mwala wa mchere.
Now his wife behind him looked backe, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 Mmawa mwake, Abrahamu ananyamuka nabwerera kumalo kumene anakumana ndi Yehova kuja.
And Abraham rising vp earely in ye morning went to the place, where he had stand before the Lord,
28 Anayangʼana kumunsi ku Sodomu, Gomora ndi ku dziko lonse la ku chigwa, ndipo anaona chiwutsi chikufuka mʼdzikolo ngati chikuchokera mʼngʼanjo.
And looking towarde Sodom and Gomorah and toward all the land of the plaine, behold, he sawe the smoke of the lande mounting vp as the smoke of a fornace.
29 Choncho Mulungu anawononga mizinda ya ku chigwa, koma anakumbukira pemphero la Abrahamu natulutsa Loti ku sulufule ndi moto zimene zinawononga mizinda ya kumene Loti amakhalako.
But yet when God destroyed the cities of the plaine, God thought vpon Abraham, and sent Lot out from the middes of the destruction, when he ouerthrewe the cities, wherein Lot dwelled.
30 Loti ndi ana ake awiri aakazi anachoka ku Zowari nakakhala ku mapiri, chifukwa amachita mantha kukhala ku Zowari. Iye ndi ana ake awiri ankakhala mʼphanga.
Then Lot went vp from Zoar, and dwelt in the mountaine with his two daughters: for he feared to tarie in Zoar, but dwelt in a caue, he, and his two daughters.
31 Tsiku lina mwana wake wamkazi wamkulu anawuza mngʼono wake kuti, “Abambo athu ndi wokalamba ndipo palibe mwamuna aliyense pano woti atikwatire ndi kubereka ana monga mwa chikhalidwe cha pa dziko lonse lapansi.
And the elder saide vnto the yonger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth, to come in vnto vs after the maner of all ye earth.
32 Tiye tiwamwetse vinyo ndipo tigone nawo. Tikatero mtundu wathu udzakhalapobe.”
Come, wee will make our father drinke wine, and lie with him, that we may preserue seede of our father.
33 Usiku umenewo analedzeretsa vinyo abambo awo, ndipo wamkuluyo analowa nagona naye. Abambo awo samadziwa kanthu pamene mwanayo anagona naye kapena pamene anadzuka.
So they made their father drinke wine that night, and the elder went and lay with her father: but he perceiued not, neither whe she lay downe, neither when she rose vp.
34 Tsiku linali mwana wamkazi wamkulu uja anati kwa mngʼono wake, “Usiku wathawu ine ndinagona ndi abambo anga. Tiye tiwaledzeretsenso vinyo usiku uno ndipo iwe upite ndi kugona nawo ndipo mtundu wathu udzakhalapobe.”
And on the morowe the elder saide to the yonger, Behold, yester night lay I with my father: let vs make him drinke wine this night also, and goe thou and lie with him, that we may preserue seede of our father.
35 Choncho analedzeranso vinyo abambo awo usiku umenewonso, ndipo mwana wamkazi wamngʼono anapita nagona nawo. Abambo awo sanadziwenso kanthu pamene mwanayo anagona naye kapena pamene anadzuka.
So they made their father drinke wine that night also, and the yonger arose, and lay with him, but he perceiued not, when she lay downe, neither when she rose vp.
36 Choncho ana onse awiri a Loti aja anatenga pathupi pa abambo awo.
Thus were both the daughters of Lot with childe by their father.
37 Mwana wamkazi wamkulu uja anabereka mwana wa mwamuna ndipo anamutcha Mowabu. Iyeyo ndiye kholo la Amowabu onse.
And the elder bare a sonne, and she called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites vnto this day.
38 Mwana wamkazi wamngʼono naye anabereka mwana wamwamuna, ndipo anamutcha iye Beni-Ammi. Iyeyu ndiye kholo la Aamoni onse.
And the yonger bare a sonne also, and she called his name Ben-ammi: the same is the father of the Ammonites vnto this day.
