Genesis 19
1 The two angels came to Sodom at evening. Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them. He bowed himself with his face to the earth,
那两个天使晚上到了所多玛；罗得正坐在所多玛城门口，看见他们，就起来迎接，脸伏于地下拜，
2 and he said, “See now, my lords, please come into your servant’s house, stay all night, wash your feet, and you can rise up early, and go on your way.” They said, “No, but we will stay in the street all night.”
说：“我主啊，请你们到仆人家里洗洗脚，住一夜，清早起来再走。”他们说：“不！我们要在街上过夜。”
3 He urged them greatly, and they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
罗得切切地请他们，他们这才进去，到他屋里。罗得为他们预备筵席，烤无酵饼，他们就吃了。
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.
他们还没有躺下，所多玛城里各处的人，连老带少，都来围住那房子，
5 They called to Lot, and said to him, “Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them.”
呼叫罗得说：“今日晚上到你这里来的人在哪里呢？把他们带出来，任我们所为。”
6 Lot went out to them through the door, and shut the door after himself.
罗得出来，把门关上，到众人那里，
7 He said, “Please, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.
说：“众弟兄，请你们不要做这恶事。
8 See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them what seems good to you. Only do not do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof.”
我有两个女儿，还是处女，容我领出来，任凭你们的心愿而行；只是这两个人既然到我舍下，不要向他们做什么。”
9 They said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now we will deal worse with you than with them!” They pressed hard on the man Lot, and came near to break the door.
众人说：“退去吧！”又说：“这个人来寄居，还想要作官哪！现在我们要害你比害他们更甚。”众人就向前拥挤罗得，要攻破房门。
10 But the men reached out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
只是那二人伸出手来，将罗得拉进屋去，把门关上，
11 They struck 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.
并且使门外的人，无论老少，眼都昏迷；他们摸来摸去，总寻不着房门。
12 The men said to Lot, “Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place:
二人对罗得说：“你这里还有什么人吗？无论是女婿是儿女，和这城中一切属你的人，你都要将他们从这地方带出去。
13 for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown so great before the LORD that the LORD has sent us to destroy it.”
我们要毁灭这地方；因为城内罪恶的声音在耶和华面前甚大，耶和华差我们来，要毁灭这地方。”
14 Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, “Get up! Get out of this place, for the LORD will destroy the city!” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.
罗得就出去，告诉娶了他女儿的女婿们说：“你们起来离开这地方，因为耶和华要毁灭这城。”他女婿们却以为他说的是戏言。
15 When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, “Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city.”
天明了，天使催逼罗得说：“起来！带着你的妻子和你在这里的两个女儿出去，免得你因这城里的罪恶同被剿灭。”
16 But he lingered; and the men grabbed his hand, his wife’s hand, and his two daughters’ hands, the LORD being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.
但罗得迟延不走。二人因为耶和华怜恤罗得，就拉着他的手和他妻子的手，并他两个女儿的手，把他们领出来，安置在城外；
17 It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you, and do not stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be consumed!”
领他们出来以后，就说：“逃命吧！不可回头看，也不可在平原站住。要往山上逃跑，免得你被剿灭。”
18 Lot said to them, “Oh, not so, my lord.
罗得对他们说：“我主啊，不要如此！
19 See now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your loving kindness, which you have shown to me in saving my life. I cannot escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die.
你仆人已经在你眼前蒙恩；你又向我显出莫大的慈爱，救我的性命。我不能逃到山上去，恐怕这灾祸临到我，我便死了。
20 See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (is not it a little one?), and my soul will live.”
看哪，这座城又小又近，容易逃到，这不是一个小的吗？求你容我逃到那里，我的性命就得存活。”
21 He said to him, “Behold, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.
天使对他说：“这事我也应允你；我不倾覆你所说的这城。
22 Hurry, escape there, for I cannot do anything until you get there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
你要速速地逃到那城；因为你还没有到那里，我不能做什么。”因此那城名叫琐珥。
23 The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
罗得到了琐珥，日头已经出来了。
24 Then the LORD rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the LORD out of the sky.
当时，耶和华将硫磺与火从天上耶和华那里降与所多玛和蛾摩拉，
25 He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.
把那些城和全平原，并城里所有的居民，连地上生长的，都毁灭了。
26 But Lot’s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
罗得的妻子在后边回头一看，就变成了一根盐柱。
27 Abraham went up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD.
亚伯拉罕清早起来，到了他从前站在耶和华面前的地方，
28 He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.
向所多玛和蛾摩拉与平原的全地观看，不料，那地方烟气上腾，如同烧窑一般。
29 When God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.
当 神毁灭平原诸城的时候，他记念亚伯拉罕，正在倾覆罗得所住之城的时候，就打发罗得从倾覆之中出来。
30 Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters.
罗得因为怕住在琐珥，就同他两个女儿从琐珥上去，住在山里；他和两个女儿住在一个洞里。
31 The firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us in the way of all the earth.
大女儿对小女儿说：“我们的父亲老了，地上又无人按着世上的常规进到我们这里。
32 Come, let’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”
来！我们可以叫父亲喝酒，与他同寝。这样，我们好从他存留后裔。”
33 They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
于是，那夜她们叫父亲喝酒，大女儿就进去和她父亲同寝；她几时躺下，几时起来，父亲都不知道。
34 It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let’s make him drink wine again tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”
第二天，大女儿对小女儿说：“我昨夜与父亲同寝。今夜我们再叫他喝酒，你可以进去与他同寝。这样，我们好从父亲存留后裔。”
35 They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He did not know when she lay down, nor when she got up.
于是，那夜她们又叫父亲喝酒，小女儿起来与她父亲同寝；她几时躺下，几时起来，父亲都不知道。
36 Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father.
这样，罗得的两个女儿都从她父亲怀了孕。
37 The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.
大女儿生了儿子，给他起名叫摩押，就是现今摩押人的始祖。
38 The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. He is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.
小女儿也生了儿子，给他起名叫便·亚米，就是现今亚扪人的始祖。
