1 Mosebog 19
1 De to Engle kom nu til Sodoma ved Aftenstid. Lot sad i Sodomas Port, og da han fik Øje paa dem, stod han op og gik dem i Møde, bøjede sig 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 sagde: »Kære Herrer, tag dog ind og overnat i eders Træls Hus og tvæt eders Fødder; i Morgen tidlig kan I drage videre!« Men de sagde: »Nej, vi vil overnatte paa Gaden.«
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 stærkt, og de tog ind i hans Hus; derpaa tilberedte han dem et Maaltid og bagte usyrede Kager, og de spiste.
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 endnu før de havde lagt sig, stimlede Byens Folk, Indbyggerne i Sodoma, sammen omkring Huset, baade gamle og unge, alle uden Undtagelse,
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 raabte til Lot: »Hvor er de Mænd, der kom til dig i Nat? Kom herud med dem, for at vi kan stille vor Lyst paa 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 i Porten, men Døren lukkede han efter sig.
So Lot went out the door to them and shut the door after himself.
7 Og han sagde: »Gør dog ikke noget ondt, mine Brødre!
He said, “I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.
8 Se, jeg har to Døtre, der ikke har kendt Mand; dem vil jeg bringe ud til eder, og med dem kan I gøre, hvad I lyster; men disse Mænd maa I ikke gøre noget, siden de nu engang er kommet ind 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 Men de sagde: »Bort med dig! Her er den ene Mand kommet og bor som fremmed, og nu vil han spille Dommer! Kom, lad os handle værre med ham end med dem!« Og de trængte ind paa Manden, paa Lot, og nærmede sig Døren for at sprænge den.
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 rakte Mændene Haanden ud og trak Lot ind til sig og lukkede Døren;
But the men reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them and shut the door.
11 men Mændene uden for Porten til Huset slog de med Blindhed, baade store og smaa, saa de forgæves søgte at finde Porten.
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 Derpaa sagde Mændene til Lot: »Hvem der ellers hører dig til her, dine Svigersønner, dine Sønner og Døtre, alle, som hører dig til i Byen, maa du føre bort 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 staar i Begreb med at ødelægge Stedet her, fordi Skriget over dem er blevet saa stort for HERREN, at HERREN har sendt os for at ødelægge dem.«
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 Da gik Lot ud og sagde til sine Svigersønner, der skulde ægte hans Døtre: »Staa op, gaa bort herfra, thi HERREN vil ødelægge Byen!« Men hans Svigersønner troede, at han drev Spøg med dem.
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 Da Morgenen saa gryede, skyndede Englene paa Lot og sagde: »Tag din Hustru og dine to Døtre, som bor hos dig, og drag bort, for at du ikke skal rives bort ved Byens Syndeskyld!«
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 Og da han tøvede, greb Mændene ham, hans Hustru og hans to Døtre ved Haanden, thi HERREN vilde skaane ham, og de førte ham bort og bragte ham i Sikkerhed uden for Byen.
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 idet de førte dem uden for Byen, sagde de: »Det gælder dit Liv! Se dig ikke tilbage og stands ikke nogensteds i Jordanegnen, men red dig op i Bjergene, for at du ikke skal omkomme!«
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 Men Lot sagde til dem: »Ak nej, Herre!
Lot said to them, “No, please, my masters!
19 Din Træl har jo fundet Naade for dine Øjne, og du har vist mig stor Godhed og frelst mit Liv; men jeg kan ikke naa op i Bjergene og undfly Ulykken; den indhenter mig saa jeg mister Livet.
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, den By der er nær nok til at jeg kan flygte derhen; den betyder jo ikke stort, lad mig redde mig derhen, den betyder jo ikke stort, og mit Liv er frelst!«
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 svarede han: »Ogsaa i det Stykke har jeg bønhørt dig; jeg vil ikke ødelægge den By, du nævner;
He said to him, “Alright, I am granting this request also, that I will not destroy the city which you have mentioned.
22 men red dig hurtigt derhen, thi jeg kan intet gøre, før du naar derhen!« Derfor kaldte man Byen Zoar.
Hurry! Escape there, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there.” Therefore the city was called Zoar.
23 Da Solen steg op over Landet og Lot var naaet til Zoar,
The sun had risen upon the earth when Lot reached Zoar.
24 lod HERREN Svovl og Ild regne over Sodoma og Gomorra fra HERREN, fra Himmelen;
Then Yahweh rained down upon Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from Yahweh out of the sky.
25 og han ødelagde disse Byer og hele Jordanegnen og alle Byernes Indbyggere og Landets Afgrøde.
He destroyed those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and the plants that grew on the ground.
26 Men hans Hustru, som gik efter ham, saa sig tilbage og blev til en Saltstøtte.
But Lot's wife, who was behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 Næste Morgen, da Abraham gik hen til det Sted, hvor han havde staaet hos HERREN,
Abraham got up early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before Yahweh.
28 og vendte sit Blik mod Sodoma og Gomorra og hele Jordanegnen, saa han Røg stige til Vejrs fra Landet som Røgen fra en Smelteovn.
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 Da Gud tilintetgjorde Jordanegnens Byer, kom han Abraham i Hu og førte Lot ud af Ødelæggelsen, som han lod komme over de Byer, Lot boede i.
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 Men Lot drog op fra Zoar og slog sig ned i Bjergene med sine Døtre, thi han turde ikke blive i Zoar; og han boede i en Hule med sine to 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 ældste til den yngste: »Vor Fader er gammel, og der findes ingen Mænd her i Landet, som kunde komme til os paa vanlig 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, lad os give vor Fader Vin at drikke og ligge hos ham for at faa Afkom ved 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 De gav ham da Vin at drikke samme Nat; og den ældste lagde sig hos sin Fader, og han sansede hverken, at hun lagde sig, eller at 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 Næste Dag sagde den ældste til den yngste: »Jeg laa i Gaar Nat hos min Fader; nu vil vi ogsaa give ham Vin at drikke i Nat, og gaa du saa ind og læg dig hos ham, for at vi kan faa Afkom ved 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 gav de atter den Nat deres Fader Vin at drikke, og den yngste lagde sig hos ham, og han sansede hverken, at hun lagde sig, eller at 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 Saaledes blev begge Lots Døtre frugtsommelige ved deres Fader;
So both the daughters of Lot were pregnant by their father.
37 og den ældste fødte en Søn, som hun kaldte Moab; han er Moabs Stamfader den Dag i Dag.
The firstborn gave birth to a son, and named him Moab. He became the ancestor of the Moabites of today.
38 Ligesaa fødte den yngste en Søn, som hun kaldte Ben-Ammi; han er Ammoniternes Stamfader den Dag i 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.
