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 in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom; and when Lot saw them he rose up to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face to 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 tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye can rise up early, and go on your way. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
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 pressed upon them greatly, and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they did eat.
4 Još ne bijahu legli na počinak, kad građani Sodome, mladi i stari, sav narod do posljednjeg čovjeka, opkole kuću.
But before they had lain down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, 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 unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men who came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
6 Lot iziđe k njima na ulaz, a za sobom zatvori vrata.
And Lot went out unto them, at the entrance [of the house], and shut the door after him.
7 “Braćo moja,” reče on, “molim vas, ne činite toga zla!
And he said, I pray you, my brethren, do not act 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 man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes, only unto these men do nothing, since they have once 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, Stand back. And they said, This one man came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge; now will we deal worse with thee than with them. And they pressed sorely upon the man Lot, and they came near to break the door.
10 Ali ona dvojica pruže ruke van, povukoše Lota k sebi u kuću i zatvore vrata;
But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot to them into the house, and the door they locked.
11 a ljude pred vratima, mlade i stare, zabliješte tako da nisu mogli naći vrata.
And the men that were at the entrance of the house they smote with blindness, both small and great, so that 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 unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? a son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring out of this 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 will destroy this place, because the cry against them is waxed great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath 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 unto his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, and said, Arise, get yourselves out of this place, for the Lord will destroy this city; but he seemed as one that jesteth in the eyes 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 morning dawn arose, the angels urged Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters that are here, lest thou be consumed for 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 while he yet lingered, the men laid hold of his hand, and of the hand of his wife, and of the hand of his two daughters, because the Lord desired to spare him; and they brought him forth, 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 forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life, look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
18 Ali Lot odvrati: “Nemoj, gospodine!
And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my 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 hath found grace in thy eyes, and thou hast magnified thy kindness, which thou hast showed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest the evil overtake me, and 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 thereunto, and it is little; oh, let me, I pray thee, escape thither, [as it is but little, ] that my life may be saved.
21 Odgovori mu: “Uslišat ću ti i tu molbu i neću zatrti grada o kojemu govoriš.
And he said unto him, See, I have favored thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this 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 thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou hast come thither. Therefore was the name of the city called Zoar.
23 Kako je sunce na zemlju izlazilo i Lot ulazio u Soar,
The sun rose over the earth, when Lot entered into Zoar.
24 Jahve zapljušti s neba na Sodomu i Gomoru sumpornim ognjem
And the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire, from the Lord, out of heaven;
25 i uništi one gradove i svu onu ravnicu, sve žitelje gradske i sve raslinstvo na zemlji.
And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26 A Lotova se žena obazre i pretvori se u stup soli.
But 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 got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the Lord:
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, smoke went up from the earth 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 away out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot had 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 out of 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 unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the country to come in unto 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 make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed 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 made their father drink wine that night; and the first-born went in, and lay with her father, and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
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 morrow, that the first-born said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father; let us make him drink wine this night also, and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed 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 made their father drink wine that night also; and the younger arose, and lay with him, and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
36 Tako obje Lotove kćeri zanesu s ocem.
And both the daughters of Lot became 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 unto 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 unto this day.
