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,
Veneruntque duo Angeli Sodomam vespere, et sedente Lot in foribus civitatis. Qui cum vidisset eos, surrexit, et ivit obviam eis: adoravitque pronus in terram,
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.
et dixit: Obsecro, domini, declinate in domum pueri vestri, et manete ibi: lavate pedes vestros, et mane proficiscemini in viam vestram. Qui dixerunt: Minime, sed in platea manebimus.
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.
Compulit illos oppido ut diverterent ad eum: ingressisque domum illius fecit convivium, et coxit azyma: et comederunt.
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.
Prius autem quam irent cubitum, viri civitatis vallaverunt domum a puero usque ad senem, omnis populus simul.
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.
Vocaveruntque Lot, et dixerunt ei: Ubi sunt viri qui introierunt ad te nocte? educ illos huc, ut cognoscamus eos.
6 And Lot went out to them to the door, and shut the door after him.
Egressus ad eos Lot, post tergum occludens ostium, ait:
7 And he said, I pray you, my brothers, do not so wickedly.
Nolite, quaeso, fratres mei, nolite malum hoc facere.
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.
Habeo duas filias, quae necdum cognoverunt virum: educam eas ad vos, et abutimini eis sicut vobis placuerit, dummodo viris istis nihil mali faciatis, quia ingressi sunt sub umbra culminis mei.
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.
At illi dixerunt: Recede illuc. Et rursus: Ingressus es, inquiunt, ut advena; numquid ut iudices? te ergo ipsum magis quam hos affligemus. Vimque faciebant Lot vehementissime: iamque prope erat ut effringerent fores.
10 But the men put forth their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
Et ecce miserunt manum viri, et introduxerunt ad se Lot, clauseruntque ostium:
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.
et eos, qui foris erant, percusserunt caecitate a minimo usque ad maximum, ita ut ostium invenire non possent.
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.
Dixerunt autem ad Lot: Habes hic quempiam tuorum? generum, aut filios, aut filias, omnes, qui tui sunt, educ de urbe hac:
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.
delebimus enim locum istum, eo quod increverit clamor eorum coram Domino, qui misit nos ut perdamus illos.
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.
Egressus itaque Lot, locutus est ad generos suos qui accepturi erant filias eius, et dixit: Surgite, et egredimini de loco isto: quia delebit Dominus civitatem hanc. Et visus est eis quasi ludens loqui.
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.
Cumque esset mane, cogebant eum Angeli, dicentes: Surge, tolle uxorem tuam, et duas filias quas habes: ne et tu pariter pereas in scelere civitatis.
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.
Dissimulante illo, apprehenderunt manum eius, et manum uxoris, ac duarum filiarum eius, eo quod parceret Dominus illi.
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.
Eduxeruntque eum, et posuerunt extra civitatem: ibique locuti sunt ad eum, dicentes: Salva animam tuam: noli respicere post tergum, nec stes in omni circa regione: sed in monte salvum te fac, ne et tu simul pereas.
18 And Lot said to them, Oh, not so, my lord.
Dixitque Lot ad eos: Quaeso Domine mi,
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.
quia invenit servus tuus gratiam coram te, et magnificasti misericordiam tuam quam fecisti mecum, ut salvares animam meam, nec possum in monte salvari, ne forte apprehendat me malum, et moriar:
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.
Est civitas haec iuxta, ad quam possum fugere, parva, et salvabor in ea: numquid non modica est, et vivet anima mea?
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.
Dixitque ad eum: Ecce etiam in hoc suscepi preces tuas, ut non subvertam urbem pro qua locutus es.
22 Hasten thee, escape there, for I cannot do anything till thou have come there. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
Festina, et salvare ibi: quia non potero facere quidquam donec ingrediaris illuc. Idcirco vocatum est nomen urbis illius Segor.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
Sol egressus est super terram, et Lot ingressus est Segor.
24 Then Jehovah rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah out of heaven.
Igitur Dominus pluit super Sodomam et Gomorrham sulphur et ignem a Domino de caelo:
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the Plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
et subvertit civitates has, et omnem circa regionem, universos habitatores urbium, et cuncta terrae virentia.
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Respiciensque uxor eius post se, versa est in statuam salis.
27 And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Jehovah.
Abraham autem consurgens mane, ubi steterat prius cum Domino,
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.
intuitus est Sodomam et Gomorrham, et universam terram regionis illius: viditque ascendentem favillam de terra quasi fornacis fumum.
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.
Cum autem subverteret Deus civitates regionis illius, recordatus Abrahae, liberavit Lot de subversione urbium in quibus habitaverat.
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.
Ascenditque Lot de Segor, et mansit in monte, duae quoque filiae eius cum eo (timuerat enim manere in Segor) et mansit in spelunca ipse, et duae filiae eius cum eo.
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.
Dixitque maior ad minorem: Pater noster senex est, et nullus virorum remansit in terra qui possit ingredi ad nos iuxta morem universae terrae.
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed by our father.
Veni, inebriemus eum vino, dormiamusque cum eo, ut servare possimus ex patre nostro semen.
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.
Dederunt itaque patri suo bibere vinum nocte illa: Et ingressa est maior, dormivitque cum patre: at ille non sensit, nec quando accubuit filia, nec quando surrexit.
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.
Altera quoque die dixit maior ad minorem: Ecce dormivi heri cum patre meo, demus ei bibere vinum etiam hac nocte, et dormies cum eo, ut salvemus semen de patre nostro.
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.
Dederunt etiam et illa nocte patri suo bibere vinum, ingressaque minor filia, dormivit cum eo: et ne tunc quidem sensit quando concubuerit, vel quando illa surrexerit.
36 Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
Conceperunt ergo duae filiae Lot de patre suo.
37 And the firstborn bore a son, and called his name Moab. The same is the father of the Moabites to this day.
Peperitque maior filium, et vocavit nomen eius Moab: ipse est pater Moabitarum usque in praesentem diem.
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.
Minor quoque peperit filium, et vocavit nomen eius Ammon, idest filius populi mei: ipse est pater Ammonitarum usque hodie.
