The two angels came to Sodom at evening. Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them. He bowed himself with his face to the earth,
2 Te phoeiah, “Ka boei aw, na sal im la ha phael mai dae ne. Rhaeh lamtah na kho sil rhoi dae. Na thoo vetih na longpuei ahna cet dam bitni,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Pawh, toltung ah ka rhaeh rhoi bitni,” a ti rhoi.
and he said, “See now, my lords, please come into your servant’s house, stay all night, wash your feet, and you can rise up early, and go on your way.” They said, “No, but we will stay in the street all night.”
3 Tedae amih rhoi te tlala hloep dongah anih taengla hoii uh tih a im ah kun uh. Amih rhoi ham buhkoknaha saii vaengah vaidamding te a kaeng pah tiha caak uh.
He urged them greatly, and they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
4 Tedaea yalh uh hlanah khopuei hlang Sodomrhoek ca neh camoe patong la pilnam boeihloh a dik a noi duela ima vael uh.
But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.
5 Te phoeiah Lot tea khue uh tih, “Khoyinah nang taengla aka lo hlang rhoi te ta? Amih rhoi te ka ming uh van ham kaimih taengla han khuen,” a ti na uh.
They called to Lot, and said to him, “Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them.”
6 Tedae Lotte thohka la cet tih a hnukkah thohkhaih te a khaih.
Lot went out to them through the door, and shut the door after himself.
7 Te phoeiah, “Ka manucarhoek thaehuet uh boel mai.
He said, “Please, my brothers, don’t act so wickedly.
8 Ka taengah canu panit om pueng he, te rhoi loh tongpaa ming rhoi moenih. Amih rhoi te nangmih taengla kang khuen pawn eh. Te vaengah amih rhoi te na mik loh then a ti bangla saii uh. Tedae hekah hlang rhoi taengah tah hno saii uh boeh. Ka tungpum hlipkhup la ha kun dongah he,” a ti nah.
See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them what seems good to you. Only don’t do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof.”
9 Tedae, “Thoeih lah,” a ti uh. Te phoeiah, “Bakuep hamla hlang pakhatte halo tih lai a tloek tarha aya? Amih rhoi lakah namah te kan talh uh ve ne,” a ti uh. Te vaengah hlang te khaw, Lot te khaw khaka aep uh tih thohkhaih te boh ham thoeih uh.
They said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now we will deal worse with you than with them!” They pressed hard on the man Lot, and came near to break the door.
10 Te vaengah im khuikah hlang rhoi loh kuta yueng uh tih Lot te amih taeng lamkah im khuilaa doek rhoi phoeiah thohkhaih te tlup a khaih rhoi.
But the men reached out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
11 Te vaengah im thohka kah hlangrhoek te tanoe kangham due mikdael neha ngawn tih thohka hmuh ham khaw khobing uh.
They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
12 Te phoeiah hlang rhoi loh Lot taengah, “Nang taengah ulae aka om pueng? Na cava nehna capa rhoek khaw, na canurhoek neh khopuei khuikah namah hut boeih te he hmuen lamkah khuen laeh.
The men said to Lot, “Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place:
13 BOEIPA mikhmuh ah amih kah pangngawlnah loh rhoeng coeng tih hekah hmuen he phae ham BOEIPA loh kaimih n'tueih dongah khopuei he ka phae rhoi pawn ni,” a ti rhoi.
for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown so great before the LORD that the LORD has sent us to destroy it.”
14 Te dongah Lotte cet tih a canu rhoek kah a loh a cavarhoek taengaha thui pah vaengah, “Khopuei he BOEIPAloh a phae dongah hekah hmuen lamkah thoo uh lamtah cet uh laeh,” a ti nah. Tedae a cava rhoek kah mikhmuh ah nueihbu banglaa om pah.
Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, “Get up! Get out of this place, for the LORD will destroy the city!” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.
15 Tedae mincanga pha vaengah puencawn rhoi loh Lot tea tanolh rhoi tih, “Thoo lamtah na yuu khaw, na canu aka om rhoi he khuen laeh. Khopuei kathaesainah dongahna khoengvoep ve,” a ti nah.
When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, “Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city.”
16 Te vaengah uelh tih hlang rhoek te amah kut, a yuu kut neh a canu rhoi kah kut khaw a hlaengtang uh. BOEIPA kah thinphatnah he anih soahaom dongah anih te a khuen tih khopuei vongvoel ah duem uh.
But he lingered; and the men grabbed his hand, his wife’s hand, and his two daughters’ hands, the LORD being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.
17 Amihte poeng laa khuen neh amih taengah, “Na hinglu te yong puei laeh. Na hnuk paelki boeh. Vannaem takuem ah pai boeh, tlang la yong laeh, na khoengvoep ve,” a ti nah.
It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, “Escape for your life! Don’t look behind you, and don’t stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be consumed!”
18 Tedae Lot loh amih rhoi taengah, “Pawh ka Boeipa bet ca mah.
Lot said to them, “Oh, not so, my lord.
19 Na sal he na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang tih na sitlohnah te na rhoengsak dongah ka hinglu hing sak ham kai taengah nan saii coeng. Tedae kai he tlang daengla yong ham tah ka coeng oeh pawh. Yoethae loh kai m'puei vetih ka duek ve.
See now, your servant has found favour in your sight, and you have magnified your loving kindness, which you have shown to me in saving my life. I can’t escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die.
20 Tahaeah ke kah khopuei la rhaelrham ham yoei ta ke. Te dongah anih ke yiit cakhaw pahoi ka yong mai eh. Anihte ka hinglu aka hing sak ham yiit pawt maco?,” a ti nah.
See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (isn’t it a little one?), and my soul will live.”
21 Te dongah anih te, “Hekah olka ham khaw na mikhmuhah kan paek vetih na thui khopuei te ka palet mahpawh.
He said to him, “Behold, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.
22 A loe la yong pahoi laeh, ke la na pawk hil pakhat khaw saii ham ka coeng thai moenih,” a ti nah. Te dongah khopuei ming khaw Zoar a sui.
Hurry, escape there, for I can’t do anything until you get there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23 Lot loh Zoara pha vaengah khomik loh khohmuen ah thoeng coeng.
The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
24 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh BOEIPA taengkah kat hmaite Sodom neh Gomorrah ah vaan lamkaha tlan sak.
Then the LORD rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulphur and fire from the LORD out of the sky.
25 Te dongah tekah khopueirhoek neh vannaem boeih khaw, khopuei kah khosa kho boeih neh diklai toian khaw a palet.
He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.
26 Tedae Lot yuu loh a hnuka paelki dongah lungkaeh tung la poeh.
But Lot’s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 Abraham tah mincang ah BOEIPA mikhmuh kah a pai nah hmuen la pahoi hlah uh.
Abraham went up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD.
28 Sodom neh Gomorrah ben kah, vannaem khohmuen phai boeih tea dan thuk vaengah hmailing hmaikhu bangla diklai hmaikhua thoengte lawta hmuh.
He looked towards Sodom and Gomorrah, and towards all the land of the plain, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.
29 Tedae Pathen loh vannaem kah khopueia phae vaengah Pathen loh Abraham tea poek. Te dongah Lot tea paletnah khui lamloha khuen. Te phoeiah Lot loh kho a sak nah khopuei tea palet.
When God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.
30 Te dongah Lot te Zoar lamkah nong tih tlang ah kho a sak. Te vaengah a canu panit te khaw amah taengah om. Zoar ah khosak ham a rhih dongah a canu rhoi khaw lungko khuiah om uh.
Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters.
31 Te vaengaha caming loh canoi la, “A pa he patong coeng tih diklai pum kah khosing la mamih rhoi taengah aka kun ham hlang khaw diklai ah om voelpawh.
The firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us in the way of all the earth.
32 Halo, a pa ke misurtui tul sih lamtah a taengah yalh sih. Te phoeiah a pa neh tiingan hing sak sih,” a ti nah.
Come, let’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”
33 Te dongah a napa te amah tekah khoyin ah misurtuia tul rhoi. Te vaengaha caming kun tih a napa taengah yalh dae me vaengah yalh tih me vaengaha thoh khaw ming pawh.
They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34 Tekaha vuen ah khaw caming loh canoi taengah, “Hlaemyinah a pa taengla ka yalh coeng. Tihnin hlaemah misurtui tul bal sih. Paan lamtah a taengah yalh van. A pa neh tiingan khaw hing sak sih,” a ti nah.
It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let’s make him drink wine again tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”
35 Amah tekah hlaem ah khaw a napa te misurtui koepa tul rhoi tih canoiloh a kun thil. A taengah yalh dae me vaengah yalh tih me vaengah a thoh khaw ming pawh.
They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she got up.
36 Te dongah Lot canu rhoite a napa loha vawn sak.
Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father.
37 Te phoeiah caming loh capaa cun tih a mingte Moaba sui dongah tihnin due Moab rhoek kah a napa la om.
The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.
38 Canoi long khaw capaa cun van tih a mingte Benammia sui dongah tihnin due Ammon ca rhoek kah a napa la om.
The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. He is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.
