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.
The two angels came to Sodom in the evening, while Lot was sitting at the gate of Sodom. Lot saw them, arose to meet them, and bowed down 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.
He said, “Please my masters, I urge you to turn aside into your servant's house, stay for the night, and wash your feet. Then you can rise up early and go on your way.” They replied, “No, we will spend the night in the town square.”
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.
But he urged them strongly, so they went with him, and entered into his house. He prepared a meal and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
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 lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the men from every part of the city.
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.
They called to Lot, and said to him, “Where are the men that came in to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may sleep with them.”
6 Da gik Lot ud til dem uden for Døren og lukkede Døren efter sig.
So Lot went out the door to them and shut the door after himself.
7 Og han sagde: Mine Brødre, kære, gører dem intet ondt!
He said, “I beg you, my brothers, do not act so 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.
Look, I have two daughters who have not slept with any man. Let me, I beg you, bring them out to you, and you do to them whatever is good in your eyes. Only do nothing to these men, because they have 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.
They said, “Stand back!” They also said, “This one came here to live as a foreigner, and now he has become our judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them.” They pressed hard against the man, against Lot, and came near to break down the door.
10 Da udrakte Mændene deres Hænder og toge Lot ind til sig i Huset og lukkede Døren.
But the men reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them and shut the door.
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.
Then Lot's visitors struck with blindness the men who were outside the door of the house, both young and old, so that they became exhausted when they were trying to find the door.
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!
Then the men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here? Any sons-in-law, your sons and your daughters, and whoever you have in the city, get them out of here.
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 are about to destroy this place, because the accusations against it before Yahweh have become so loud that he has 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.
Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, the men who had promised to marry his daughters, and said, “Quick, get out of this place, for Yahweh is about to destroy the city.” But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking.
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.
When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Get going, take your wife and your two daughters that are here, so you are not swept away in the punishment 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.
But he lingered. So the men grabbed his hand, and the hand of his wife, and the hands of his two daughters, because Yahweh was merciful to him. They brought them out, and set them outside 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.
When they had brought them out, one of the men said, “Run for your lives! Do not look back, or stay anywhere on the plain. Escape to the mountains so you are not swept away.”
18 Da sagde Lot til dem: Ak nej, Herre!
Lot said to them, “No, please, my masters!
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.
Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life, but I cannot escape to the mountains, because the disaster will overtake me, and I will 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.
Look, that city over there is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Please, let me escape there (is it not a little one?), and my life will 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,
He said to him, “Alright, I am granting this request also, that I will not destroy the city which you have mentioned.
22 Skynd dig, red dig der! thi jeg kan intet gøre, før du kommer derhen; derfor kaldes den Stads Navn Zoar.
Hurry! Escape there, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there.” Therefore the city was called Zoar.
23 Solen var opgangen over Jorden, og Lot kom til Zoar.
The sun had risen upon the earth when Lot reached Zoar.
24 Herren lod regne over Sodoma og over Gomorra Svovl og Ild, fra Herren af Himmelen.
Then Yahweh rained down upon Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from Yahweh out of the sky.
25 Og han omstyrtede disse Stæder og den ganske Egn og alle Indbyggerne i Stæderne og Jordens Grøde.
He destroyed those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and the plants that grew on the ground.
26 Da saa hans Hustru om bag ham og blev en Saltstøtte.
But Lot's wife, who was behind him, looked back, 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.
Abraham got up early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before Yahweh.
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.
He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the plain. He looked and behold, smoke was rising from the land like 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.
So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, God called Abraham to mind. He sent Lot out of the midst of the destruction when he destroyed the cities in which Lot had lived.
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.
But Lot went up from Zoar to live in the mountains with his two daughters, because he was afraid to live in Zoar. So he lived 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.
The firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man anywhere to sleep with us according to the way of all the world.
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 sleep with him, so that we may extend our father's line.”
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.
So they made their father drink wine that night. Then the firstborn went in and slept with her father; he did not know 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.
The next day the firstborn said to the younger, “Listen, last night I slept with my father. Let us make him drink wine tonight also, and you should go in and sleep with him, so that we may extend our father's line.”
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.
So they made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger went and slept with him. He did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
36 Saa undfik begge Lots Døtre af deres Fader.
So both the daughters of Lot were pregnant by their father.
37 Og den førstefødte fødte en Søn, og hun kaldte hans Navn Moab; han er de Moabiters Fader indtil denne Dag.
The firstborn gave birth to a son, and named him Moab. He became the ancestor of the Moabites of today.
38 Og den yngste fødte ogsaa en Søn og kaldte hans Navn Ben-Ammi; han er Ammons Børns Fader indtil denne Dag.
As for the younger daughter, she also gave birth to a son, and named him Ben-Ammi. He became the ancestor of the people of Ammon of today.
