1 Mosebog 19
1 Og de to Engle kom til Sodoma om Aftenen; men Lot sad i Sodomas Port, og der Lot saa dem, da stod han op og gik dem i Møde og bøjede Ansigtet til Jorden.
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 Og lian sagde: Se nu mine Herrer, kommer dog ind i eders Tjeners Hus, og bliver her i Nat, og toer eders Fødder, saa maa I staa aarle op og gaa eders Vej; og de sagde: Nej, men vi ville blive paa Gaden i Nat.
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 Da nødte han dem meget, og de gik ind til ham og kom i hans Hus, og han gjorde dem et Gæstebud og bagede usyrede Brød, og de aade.
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 Men førend de lagde sig, da omringede Mændene af Staden, Mændene af Sodoma, Huset, baade ung og gammel, det ganske Folk allesteds fra.
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 Og de kaldte ad Lot og sagde til ham: Hvor ere de Mænd, som kom til dig i Nat? før dem ud til os, at vi maa kende dem.
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 Da gik Lot ud til dem uden for Døren og lukkede Døren efter sig.
And Lot went out unto them, at the entrance [of the house], and shut the door after him.
7 Og han sagde: Mine Brødre, kære, gører dem intet ondt!
And he said, I pray you, my brethren, do not act wickedly.
8 Se, kære, jeg har to Døtre, som ikke have kendt Mand, kære, jeg vil lede dem ud til eder, gører saa med dem, hvad eder godt synes; kun disse Mænd maa I ikke gøre noget; thi derfor ere de komne under mit Tags Skygge.
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 Og de sagde: Kom nærmere; og de sagde: Denne ene er kommen at bosætte sig her og vil dømme; nu, vi ville gøre dig mere ondt end dem; saa trængte de saare hart ind paa Manden, paa Lot, og traadte til for at bryde Døren op.
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 Da udrakte Mændene deres Hænder og toge Lot ind til sig i Huset og lukkede Døren.
But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot to them into the house, and the door they locked.
11 Og Mændene, som vare uden for Husets Dør, sloge de med Blindhed, baade liden og stor, og disse søgte med Møje at finde Døren.
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 Da sagde de Mænd til Lot: Har du endnu her nogen Svigersøn eller Sønner eller Døtre af dig eller nogen, som hører dig til i Staden, saa før dem ud fra dette Sted!
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 Thi vi skulle ødelægge dette Sted; thi deres Skrig er blevet stort for Herrens Aasyn, og Herren sendte os til at ødelægge den.
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 Og Lot gik ud og talede med sine Svigersønner, som skulde tage hans Døtre, og sagde: Staar op, gaar ud fra dette Sted, thi Herren vil ødelægge Staden; men han syntes for hans Svigersønners Øjne, som han gækkede.
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 Og der det begyndte at dages, da skyndte Englene paa Lot og sagde: Staa op, tag din Hustru og dine to Døtre, som ere til Stede, at ikke ogsaa du omkommer ved Stadens Misgerning.
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 Der han tøvede, da toge Mændene ham ved Haanden og hans Hustru ved Haanden og hans to Døtre ved Haanden, fordi Herren vilde spare ham, og de førte ham ud og lode ham blive uden for Staden.
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 Og det skete, der de havde ført dem udenfor, da sagde den ene: Frels dit Liv, se ikke bag dig, og stands ikke paa hele Sletten, frels dig paa Bjerget, at du ikke omkommer.
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 Da sagde Lot til dem: Ak nej, Herre!
And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my lord!
19 Se nu, din Tjener har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, og du har ladet din Miskundhed blive stor, som du har bevist mig, ved at lade mig leve; og jeg kan ikke frelse mig paa Bjerget, Ulykken maatte komme paa mig, saa at jeg døde.
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 Se, kære, denne Stad er nær ved, den kunde jeg fly til, og den samme er liden; kære, der vil jeg frelse mig, er den ikke liden? at min Sjæl maa leve.
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 Da sagde han til ham: Se, jeg har og bønhørt dig i dette Stykke, at jeg ikke vil omstyrte den Stad, som du har talt om,
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 Skynd dig, red dig der! thi jeg kan intet gøre, før du kommer derhen; derfor kaldes den Stads Navn Zoar.
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 Solen var opgangen over Jorden, og Lot kom til Zoar.
The sun rose over the earth, when Lot entered into Zoar.
24 Herren lod regne over Sodoma og over Gomorra Svovl og Ild, fra Herren af Himmelen.
And the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire, from the Lord, out of heaven;
25 Og han omstyrtede disse Stæder og den ganske Egn og alle Indbyggerne i Stæderne og Jordens Grøde.
And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26 Da saa hans Hustru om bag ham og blev en Saltstøtte.
But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 Og Abraham skyndte sig aarle op om Morgenen til Stedet, hvor han havde staaet for Herrens Ansigt.
And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the Lord:
28 Og han vendte sit Ansigt til Sodoma og Gomorra og til hele Landet paa Sletten, og han saa, og se, en Røg steg op af Landet som en Røg af en Ovn.
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 Og det skete, der Gud ødelagde Stæderne paa Sletten, da kom Gud Abraham i Hu, og han lod Lot føre ud midt af Ødelæggelsen, der han omstyrtede de Stæder, som Lot boede udi.
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 Og Lot gik op fra Zoar og blev paa Bjerget, og begge hans Døtre med ham; thi han frygtede for at blive i Zoar, og han blev i en Hule, han og begge hans Døtre.
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 Da sagde den førstefødte til den yngste: vor Fader er gammel, og der er ikke en Mand i dette Land, som kan komme til os efter al Jordens Vis.
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 Kom, lader os give vor Fader Vin at drikke og ligge hos ham, saa faa vi Sæd af vor Fader.
Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
33 Saa gave de deres Fader Vin at drikke den samme Nat, og den førstefødte gik ind og lagde sig hos sin Fader, og han fornam ikke, der hun lagde sig, eller der hun stod op.
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 Og det skete den anden Dag, da sagde den førstefødte til den yngste: se, i Gaar Nat laa jeg hos min Fader, lader os ogsaa i denne Nat give ham Vin at drikke, og gak ind, lig hos ham, at vi kunne faa Sæd af vor Fader.
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 Saa gave de deres Fader ogsaa i den samme Nat Vin at drikke, saa gjorde den yngste sig rede og laa hos ham, og han fornam ikke, der hun lagde gig, eller der hun stod op.
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 Saa undfik begge Lots Døtre af deres Fader.
And both the daughters of Lot became with child by their father.
37 Og den førstefødte fødte en Søn, og hun kaldte hans Navn Moab; han er de Moabiters Fader indtil denne Dag.
And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab; the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
38 Og den yngste fødte ogsaa en Søn og kaldte hans Navn Ben-Ammi; han er Ammons Børns Fader indtil denne Dag.
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.
