Postanak 19
1 Ona dva anđela stignu navečer u Sodomu dok je Lot sjedio na vratima Sodome. Kad ih Lot ugleda, ustade i pođe im u susret. Nakloni se licem do zemlje,
And the two angels came to Sodom at even. And Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. And Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them; and he bowed down, the face toward the ground,
2 a onda im reče: “Molim, gospodo, svrnite u kuću svoga sluge da noć provedete i noge operete; a onda možete na put rano.” A oni rekoše: “Ne, noć ćemo provesti na trgu.”
and he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and lodge, and wash your feet; and ye shall rise up early, and go on your way. And they said, No; but we will pass the night in the open place.
3 Ali ih on uporno navraćaše, i oni se uvratiše k njemu i uđoše u njegovu kuću. On ih ugosti, ispeče pogaču te blagovaše.
And he urged them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house. And he made them a repast, and baked unleavened cakes; and they ate.
4 Još ne bijahu legli na počinak, kad građani Sodome, mladi i stari, sav narod do posljednjeg čovjeka, opkole kuću.
Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, from the youngest to the oldest — all the people from every quarter.
5 Zovnu Lota pa mu reknu: “Gdje su ljudi što su noćas došli k tebi? Izvedi nam ih da ih se namilujemo?”
And they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men that have come in to thee to-night? bring them out to us that we may know them.
6 Lot iziđe k njima na ulaz, a za sobom zatvori vrata.
And Lot went out to them to the entrance, and shut the door after him,
7 “Braćo moja,” reče on, “molim vas, ne činite toga zla!
and said, I pray you, my brethren, do not wickedly!
8 Imam, evo, dvije kćeri s kojima još čovjek nije imao dodira: njih ću vam izvesti pa činite s njima što želite; samo ovim ljudima nemojte ništa učiniti jer su došli pod sjenu moga krova.”
Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known a man: let me now bring them out to you; and do to them as is good in your sight: only, to these men do nothing; for therefore have they come under the shadow of my roof.
9 “Odstupi odatle!” - rekoše. - “Došao kao dotepenac, a za suca se već postavlja. Sad ćemo mi s tobom gore nego s njima.” I nasrnuše na jadnika Lota i navališe na vrata da ih razbiju.
And they said, Back there! And they said [again], This one came to sojourn, and he must be a judge? Now we will deal worse with thee than with them. And they pressed hard on the man — on Lot; and drew near to break the door.
10 Ali ona dvojica pruže ruke van, povukoše Lota k sebi u kuću i zatvore vrata;
And the men stretched out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
11 a ljude pred vratima, mlade i stare, zabliješte tako da nisu mogli naći vrata.
And they smote the men that were at the entrance of the house with blindness, from the smallest to the greatest; and they wearied themselves to find the entrance.
12 Onda ona dvojica upitaju Lota: “Koga još ovdje imaš: sinove i kćeri, sve koje imaš u gradu iz mjesta izvedi!
And the men said to Lot, Whom hast thou here besides? a son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and all whom thou hast in the city — bring [them] out of the place.
13 Jer mi ćemo zatrti ovo mjesto: vika je na njih pred Jahvom postala tolika te nas Jahve posla da ga uništimo.”
For we are going to destroy this place, because the cry of them is great before Jehovah, and Jehovah has sent us to destroy it.
14 Iziđe Lot da to kaže svojima budućim zetovima koji namjeravahu uzeti njegove kćeri te reče: “Na noge! Odlazite iz ovog mjesta jer će Jahve uništiti grad!” Ali je u očima svojih budućih zetova ispao kao da zbija šalu.
And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, Up, go out of this place, for Jehovah will destroy the city. But he was as if he jested, in the sight of his sons-in-law.
15 Kako zora puče, anđeli navale na Lota govoreći: “Na noge! Uzmi svoju ženu i svoje dvije kćeri koje su ovdje da ne budeš zatrt kaznom grada!”
And as the dawn arose, the angels urged Lot, saying, Up, take thy wife and thy two daughters who are present, lest thou perish in the iniquity of the city.
16 Ali on oklijevaše. Zato ga oni uzeše za ruku, a tako i njegovu ženu i njegove dvije kćeri i - po smilovanju Jahvinu nad njim - odvedoše ih i ostaviše izvan grada.
And as he lingered, the men laid hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters, Jehovah being merciful to him; and they led him out, and set him without the city.
17 Kad ih izvedoše u polje, jedan progovori: “Bježi da život spasiš! Ne obaziri se niti se igdje u ravnici zaustavljaj! Bježi u brdo da ne budeš zatrt!”
And it came to pass when they had brought them outside, that he said, Escape for thy life: look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain: escape to the mountain, lest thou perish.
18 Ali Lot odvrati: “Nemoj, gospodine!
And Lot said to them, Not [so], I pray thee, Lord;
19 Nego ako je tvoj sluga našao milost u tvojim očima - a toliko milosrđe već si mi iskazao spasivši mi život - ja ne mogu pobjeći u brdo a da me nesreća ne snađe i ne poginem.
behold now, thy servant has found favour in thine eyes, and thou hast magnified thy goodness, which thou hast shewn to me in preserving my soul alive; but I cannot escape to the mountain, lest calamity lay hold on me, that I die.
20 Eno onamo grada; dosta je blizu da u nj pobjegnem, a mjesto je tako malo. Daj da onamo bježim - mjesto je zbilja maleno - daj da život spasim!”
Behold now, this city is near to flee to, and it is small: I pray thee, let me escape thither — is it not small? — and my soul shall live.
21 Odgovori mu: “Uslišat ću ti i tu molbu i neću zatrti grada o kojemu govoriš.
And he said to him, Behold, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which thou hast spoken.
22 Brzo! Bježi onamo, jer ne mogu ništa činiti dok ti onamo ne stigneš.” Zato se onaj grad zove Soar.
Haste, escape thither; for I cannot do anything until thou art come there. Therefore the name of the city is called Zoar.
23 Kako je sunce na zemlju izlazilo i Lot ulazio u Soar,
The sun rose upon the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
24 Jahve zapljušti s neba na Sodomu i Gomoru sumpornim ognjem
And Jehovah rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah out of heaven,
25 i uništi one gradove i svu onu ravnicu, sve žitelje gradske i sve raslinstvo na zemlji.
and overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew upon the ground.
26 A Lotova se žena obazre i pretvori se u stup soli.
And his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 Sutradan u rano jutro Abraham se požuri na mjesto gdje je stajao pred Jahvom,
And Abraham rose early in the morning [and went] to the place where he had stood before Jehovah;
28 upravi pogled prema Sodomi i Gomori i svoj ravnici u daljini: i vidje kako se diže dim nad zemljom kao dim kakve klačine.
and he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and lo, a smoke went up from the land as the smoke of a furnace.
29 Tako se Bog, dok je zatirao gradove u ravnici u kojima je Lot boravio, sjetio Abrahama i uklonio Lota ispred propasti.
And it came to pass when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt.
30 Lot se bojao boraviti u Soaru, pa sa svoje dvije kćeri ode gore iz Soara i nastani se u brdu. On i njegove dvije kćeri živjeli su u pećini.
And Lot went up from Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar. And he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
31 Starija reče mlađoj: “Otac nam ostarje, a muža na zemlji nema da bude s nama, kako je običaj po svem svijetu.
And the first-born said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the land to come in to us after the manner of all the earth:
32 Hajdemo oca opiti vinom, pa s njime leći: tako ćemo s ocem sačuvati potomstvo.”
come, let us give our father wine to drink, and let us lie with him, that we may preserve seed alive of our father.
33 One noći opiju oca vinom, i starija ode te legne sa svojim ocem, a on nije znao kad je legla ni kad je ustala.
And they gave their father wine to drink that night. And the first-born went in, and lay with her father, and he did not know of her lying down, nor of her rising.
34 Sutradan starija reče mlađoj: “Sinoć sam, eto, ležala ja s našim ocem; napojimo ga vinom i noćas, pa idi ti i s njim lezi: tako ćemo ocu sačuvati potomstvo.”
And it came to pass on the next day that the first-born said to the younger, Lo, I lay last night with my father: let us give him wine to drink to-night also, and go thou in, lie with him, that we may preserve seed alive of our father.
35 Opiju oca vinom i one noći te mlađa ode i s njim legne, a on nije znao kad je legla ni kad je ustala.
And they gave their father wine to drink that night also. And the younger arose, and lay with him; and he did not know of her lying down, nor of her rising.
36 Tako obje Lotove kćeri zanesu s ocem.
And both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
37 Starija rodi sina i nadjenu mu ime Moab. On je praotac današnjih Moabaca.
And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites to this day.
38 I mlađa rodi sina i nadjene mu ime Ben-Ami. On je praotac današnjih Amonaca.
And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi; the same is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.
