< Genesis 19 >

1 And the two agents came to Sodom at evening, and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. And Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them. And he bowed himself with his face to the earth,
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,
2 and he said, Behold now, my lords, turn aside, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your way. And they said, No, but we will abide in the street all night.
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.”
3 And he urged them greatly. And they turned in to him, and entered into his house. And he made a feast for them, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
Ali ih on uporno navraćaše, i oni se uvratiše k njemu i uđoše u njegovu kuću. On ih ugosti, ispeče pogaču te blagovaše.
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, encompassed the house around, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.
Još ne bijahu legli na počinak, kad građani Sodome, mladi i stari, sav narod do posljednjeg čovjeka, opkole kuću.
5 And they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men who came in to thee this night? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.
Zovnu Lota pa mu reknu: “Gdje su ljudi što su noćas došli k tebi? Izvedi nam ih da ih se namilujemo?”
6 And Lot went out to them to the door, and shut the door after him.
Lot iziđe k njima na ulaz, a za sobom zatvori vrata.
7 And he said, I pray you, my brothers, do not so wickedly.
“Braćo moja,” reče on, “molim vas, ne činite toga zla!
8 Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known a man. Let me, I pray you, bring them out to you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes. Only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the shadow of my roof.
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.”
9 And they said, Stand back. And they said, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will be a judge. Now we will deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed greatly upon the man, even Lot, and drew near to break the door.
“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.
10 But the men put forth their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
Ali ona dvojica pruže ruke van, povukoše Lota k sebi u kuću i zatvore vrata;
11 And they smote the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
a ljude pred vratima, mlade i stare, zabliješte tako da nisu mogli naći vrata.
12 And the men said to Lot, Have thou here any besides? Son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whomever thou have in the city, bring them out of the place.
Onda ona dvojica upitaju Lota: “Koga još ovdje imaš: sinove i kćeri, sve koje imaš u gradu iz mjesta izvedi!
13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them has been great before Jehovah. And Jehovah has sent us to destroy it.
Jer mi ćemo zatrti ovo mjesto: vika je na njih pred Jahvom postala tolika te nas Jahve posla da ga uništimo.”
14 And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place, for Jehovah will destroy the city. But he seemed to his sons-in-law as a man jesting.
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.
15 And when the morning arose, then the agents hurried Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters who are here, lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
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!”
16 But he lingered. And the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters, Jehovah being merciful to him, and they brought him forth, and set him outside the city.
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.
17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life, do not look behind thee, neither stay thou in all the Plain. Escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
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!”
18 And Lot said to them, Oh, not so, my lord.
Ali Lot odvrati: “Nemoj, gospodine!
19 Behold now, thy servant has found favor in thy sight, and thou have magnified thy loving kindness, which thou have shown to me in saving my life, and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die.
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.
20 Behold now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (is it not a little one?), and my soul shall live.
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!”
21 And he said to him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which thou have spoken.
Odgovori mu: “Uslišat ću ti i tu molbu i neću zatrti grada o kojemu govoriš.
22 Hasten thee, escape there, for I cannot do anything till thou have come there. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
Brzo! Bježi onamo, jer ne mogu ništa činiti dok ti onamo ne stigneš.” Zato se onaj grad zove Soar.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
Kako je sunce na zemlju izlazilo i Lot ulazio u Soar,
24 Then Jehovah rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah out of heaven.
Jahve zapljušti s neba na Sodomu i Gomoru sumpornim ognjem
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the Plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
i uništi one gradove i svu onu ravnicu, sve žitelje gradske i sve raslinstvo na zemlji.
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
A Lotova se žena obazre i pretvori se u stup soli.
27 And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Jehovah.
Sutradan u rano jutro Abraham se požuri na mjesto gdje je stajao pred Jahvom,
28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the Plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.
upravi pogled prema Sodomi i Gomori i svoj ravnici u daljini: i vidje kako se diže dim nad zemljom kao dim kakve klačine.
29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the Plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt.
Tako se Bog, dok je zatirao gradove u ravnici u kojima je Lot boravio, sjetio Abrahama i uklonio Lota ispred propasti.
30 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.
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.
31 And the firstborn said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man on the earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth.
Starija reče mlađoj: “Otac nam ostarje, a muža na zemlji nema da bude s nama, kako je običaj po svem svijetu.
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed by our father.
Hajdemo oca opiti vinom, pa s njime leći: tako ćemo s ocem sačuvati potomstvo.”
33 And they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. And he did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
One noći opiju oca vinom, i starija ode te legne sa svojim ocem, a on nije znao kad je legla ni kad je ustala.
34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said to the younger, Behold, I lay last night 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 by our father.
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.”
35 And they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose, and lay with him. And he did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Opiju oca vinom i one noći te mlađa ode i s njim legne, a on nije znao kad je legla ni kad je ustala.
36 Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
Tako obje Lotove kćeri zanesu s ocem.
37 And the firstborn bore a son, and called his name Moab. The same is the father of the Moabites to this day.
Starija rodi sina i nadjenu mu ime Moab. On je praotac današnjih Moabaca.
38 And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi. The same is the father of the sons of Ammon to this day.
I mlađa rodi sina i nadjene mu ime Ben-Ami. On je praotac današnjih Amonaca.
