Chakruok 19
1 Malaika ariyogo nochopo Sodom kar angʼich welo kendo Lut noyudo obet e dhoranga dalano. Kane onenogi, noa malo mondo mi opodho auma e nyimgi.
That evening, the two angels arrived in Sodom. Lot was sitting at the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to greet them, and prostrated himself with his face on the ground.
2 Nowachonegi niya, “Jodongo, yieru uraw e od jatichu mondo ulwok tiendeu kendo unindi eka kiny unyalo dhi gokinyi.” To negiwacho niya, “Ooyo, wabiro nindo mana e laru kae.”
He said to them, “Gentlemen, please stay in my house tonight. You can wash your feet, and tomorrow you can continue your journey.” But they said, “No, we will just sleep in the city square.”
3 To Lut nonano ni nyaka ginind e ode. Eka ne olosonegi chiemo, kendo notedonigi makati ma ok oketie thowi mi gichiemo.
But Lot kept insisting strongly that they sleep in his house. So they entered his house with him, and he prepared a meal for them. He baked some bread without yeast, and they ate it.
4 Kane pok gidhi e nindo, chwo madongo kod matindo moa kuonde duto mag dala maduongʼ mar Sodom, nobiro molworo odno.
After they finished eating, before they went to bed, the men of Sodom [city], all of them, from the young ones to the old ones, surrounded the house.
5 Negiluongo Lut ka gipenje niya, “Ere chwo mane obiro iri ka gotieno? Golnwagi oko kae wadwa terore kodgi.”
They called out to Lot, saying, “Where are the men who came to your house this evening? Bring them out, so that we can have sex with them!” [EUP]
6 Kuom mano, Lut noloro dhoot mowuok odhi irgi,
Lot went outside the house and shut the door behind him, so that they could not go inside.
7 kendo nowachonegi niya, “Ooyo jowadwa, kik utim tim makweroni!
He said to them, “My friends, don’t do such an evil thing!
8 Koro neuru, an kod nyiri ariyo mapok ongʼeyo chwo; weuru agolnugi oko mondo utim kodgi kaka uhero; to kik utim marach ni jogi, nimar gin wenda.”
Listen to me. I have two daughters who have never had sex with any man. Let me bring them out to you now, and you can do with them whatever pleases you. But don’t do anything to these men, because they are guests in my house, [so I must protect them]!”
9 Negidwoke niya, “Wuogi e nyimwa, in nibiro ka kaka jadak kendo koro idwaro ketori kaka jangʼad bura!” Wabiro timoni marach moloyogi, omiyo ne gidhiro Lut giteko mondo gi muk dhoot.
But they replied, “Get out of our way! You are a foreigner; so you have no right to tell us what is right! [If you don’t get out of our way], we will do worse things to you than we will do to them!” Then they lunged towards Lot, and tried forcefully to break down the door.
10 To jogo mane ni e otgo noywayo Lut mi odwoko e ot kendo giloro dhoot.
But the two angels opened the door carefully, reached out their hands, and pulled Lot to them inside the house. Then they quickly shut the door.
11 Eka negimiyo jomanenie dhoot oko-go obedo muofni, jomatindo gi jomadongo, mane ok ginyal yudo dhoot.
Then they caused all the men who were outside the door of the house, young and old, to become blind, so that they could not find the door.
12 Ji ariyogo nowacho ni Lut niya, “Bende in gi ngʼato moro kae kaka chwo nyigi, yawuoti kata nyigi, kata ngʼat moro amora e dala maduongʼni ma watni? Golgi oko kae,
Then the two angels said to Lot, “Who else is with you here? If you have sons or sons-in-law or daughters or anyone else in the city who is related to you, take them out of the city,
13 nikech wadhi ketho dalani. Ywak ma iywak nego dalani osebedo malich e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, omiyo oseorowa mondo wakethe.”
because we are the ones who are going to destroy this place. Yahweh considers that these people are so evil that he sent us to destroy the city.”
14 Kuom mano Lut nodhi mowuoyo gi chwo nyige mane osetimo winjruok mar kend gi nyige. Nowachonegi niya, “Timuru piyo piyo mondo uwuog oko e dalani, nikech Jehova Nyasaye oseikore mar ketho dala maduongʼni!” To chwo nyige ne paro ni otugo.
So Lot went and spoke to the men who had pledged to marry his daughters. He said to them, “Hurry! Get out of this city, because Yahweh is about to destroy it!” But his future sons-in-law thought he was joking.
15 Kane ochopo kogwen, malaika nojiwo Lut, kawacho niya, “Tim piyo kaw chiegi gi nyigi ariyo man kae, nono to ubiro rumo ka dala maduongʼni iketho.”
As it was about to dawn the next morning, the two angels urged Lot, saying, “Get up quickly! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here with you and leave! If you don’t, you will die when [we destroy/Yahweh destroys] the city!”
16 Kane pod gidigni, malaika ariyogo nomako lwete gi lwet chiege kod lwet nyige ariyo ma gigologi oko mar dala maduongʼni, nikech Jehova Nyasaye nokechogi.
When Lot hesitated, the angels grasped his hand and his wife’s hand and the hands of his two daughters. They led them outside the city safely. The angels did that because Yahweh was acting mercifully toward them.
17 Piyo piyo nono kane gisegologi oko, achiel kuom malaikago nowacho niya, “Ring utony ne ngimau! Kik ungʼi chien, kendo kik uchung kamoro amora e pap; tonyuru udhi e gode nono, to ubiro lal!”
When they were outside the city, one of the angels said, “[If you want to remain alive], run away quickly! Don’t look back! And don’t stop anywhere in the valley! Flee to the hills! If you don’t, you will die!”
18 To Lut nowachonegi niya, “Ooyo, Ruodha, asayou!
But Lot said to one of the angels, “No, sir, don’t make me do that!
19 Jatichu oseyudo kech e wangʼu, kendo usenyisa ngʼwono maduongʼ kuom reso ngimana. To kata kamano ok anyal ringo nyaka e gode; nono to chandruogni ojuka mi anyalo atho.
Please, listen. You have been pleased with me and have been very kind to me and spared my life. But I cannot flee to the mountain. If I try to do that, I will die in this disaster [PRS].
20 Ne, nitie dala moro matin machiegni manyalo ringo mondo atonyie. En mana dalano omiyo yienwauru mondo omi wachop kuno kendo wares ngimawa.”
But listen to me. There is a town nearby. Let me run to that small town. Let me go there now. It is a small town, but our lives will be saved if we go there.”
21 Nowachone niya, “Mano ber, kwayonino bende abiro rwako; kendo ok naketh dala miwachono.
One of the angels said to Lot, “I will allow you to do what you have requested [MTY]. I will not destroy the little town you are speaking about.
22 Kuom mano ring idhi kuno piyo, nikech ok anyal timo gimoro nyaka ichop kuno.” (Mano ema omiyo noluong dalano ni Zoar.)
But hurry! Run there, because I cannot destroy anything until you arrive there.” People later called the name of the town Zoar [which means ‘small’, ] because Lot said it was small.
23 Lut nochopo Zoar gokinyi kar onyango.
As the sun was rising, Lot and his family arrived in the town which is now called Zoar.
24 Eka Jehova Nyasaye noolo kite maliel makakni koa e polo mowangʼo Sodom gi Gomora.
Then Yahweh caused fire and [burning] sulfur to fall down on Sodom and Gomorrah like rain.
25 Kamano noketho mier madongogo gi pawno duto, kaachiel gi ji duto manodak e miergo kod gik moko duto manyak e lowo.
In that way, he destroyed those cities and all the people who were living in those cities. He also destroyed everything in the valley, including all the plants/vegetation.
26 To chi Lut nolokore mongʼiyo chien, kendo nolokore siro mar chumbi.
But Lot’s wife stopped and looked back [to see what was happening], so she died, and her body [later] became a pillar of salt.
27 Kinyne gokinyi, Ibrahim nomondo kama ne ochungʼie nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
That morning, Abraham got up and went to the place where he had stood in front of Yahweh.
28 Nongʼiyo mwalo yo Sodom gi Gomora, kod pewege duto kendo noneno iro maduongʼ koa e pinyno, mana ka iro mar mach maduongʼ.
He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and he [was surprised to] see that all over the valley, smoke was rising, like the smoke of a huge furnace.
29 Kuom mano ka Nyasaye noketho mier mag pap, noparo Ibrahim kendo nogolo Lut oko mar masirano mane oketho mier mane odakie.
So, when God destroyed those cities in the valley, he remembered what he had promised Abraham, and he rescued Lot from the disaster that occurred in the cities where Lot had lived.
30 Lut kod nyige ariyo nowuok Zoar kendo negidhi gidak e gode nikech noluor dak Zoar. En kod nyige ariyo negidak e rogo.
Lot was afraid to stay in Zoar, so he left there and moved with his two daughters to the mountain, and they lived in a cave.
31 Chiengʼ moro achiel nyar Lut maduongʼ nowacho ne nyamin matin niya, “Wuonwa koro oseti, kendo onge ngʼama nyalo kendowa kaka chik mar piny duto dwaro.
One day the older daughter said to (the younger daughter/her sister), “Our father is old, and there is no man in this area who can have sex [EUP] with us, as people all over the earth do.
32 We wami wuonwa kongʼo omadhi kendo ka osemer, to wariwre kode kendo wanywol nyithindo mondo kik ogandawa lal.”
Let’s make our father drink wine until he gets drunk. Then we can have sex with him [EUP] [without him knowing it]. In that way [he will cause us to become pregnant] and we can bear children.”
33 Gotienono negimiyo wuon-gi kongʼo mi omer, kendo nyare maduongʼ nodonjo moriwore kode. Lut nomer mane ok ongʼeyo seche mano ochako kata tieko riwore gi nyare.
So that night they caused their father to become drunk. And the older daughter went in and lay in bed with her father, and he had sex with her, but he was so drunk that he did not know when she lay down with him or when she got up.
34 Kinyne nyako maduongʼ ne owacho ne nyako matin niya, “Otieno mokadho ne ariwora gi wuonwa. Omiyo we wamiye kongʼo kendo kawuono mi omer mondo idhi iriwri kode kendo wanywol nyithindo mondo kik ogandawa lal.”
The next day, his older daughter said to (his younger daughter/her sister), “Listen to me. Last night I slept with our father. Let’s cause him to become drunk again tonight! This time you can go and sleep with him. If he has sex with you, you can become pregnant, and that way you can have a child, too.”
35 Kuom mano negimiyo wuon-gi kongʼo momer gotieno kendo nyako matin nodonjo ma oriwore kode. Kendo ne ok ongʼeyo seche mane nyare matin-no ochako kata otieko riwore kode.
So that night, they caused their father to become drunk with wine again, and then his younger daughter went and slept with him. But again, he was so drunk that he did not know when she lay down with him or when she got up.
36 Kuom mano nyi Lut ariyogo nomako ich kod wuon-gi.
So Lot caused his two daughters to become pregnant.
37 Nyako maduongʼ nonywolo wuowi, kendo nochake ni Moab, en e kwar jo-Moab ma kawuono.
The older one later gave birth to a son, whom she named Moab. He became the ancestor of the Moab people-group.
38 Nyako matin bende nonywolo wuowi kendo nochake ni Ben-Ami; en e kwar jo-Amon.
The younger one also gave birth to a son, whom she named Ben-Ammi. He became the ancestor of the Ammon people-group.
