< Genesis 19 >
1 Now the two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When Lot saw them, he got up to meet them, bowed facedown,
Hiche ni nilhah lam in vantil ni ahung lhon in ahile Lot chu Sodom khopi kelkot a anatou pet ahin Lot in vantil teni amu phat chun alamto dingin akipat don in amani masanga tol ah abohkhup'in ahi.
2 and said, “My lords, please turn aside into the house of your servant; wash your feet and spend the night. Then you can rise early and go on your way.” “No,” they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.”
Chuin Lot in hitin aseiye, “Ka Pakai hung un ka insunga nakeng hung kisop lhonin, chule tujan kain a geh lhon inlang, jingpi matah in thou lhon in lang na kholche na lhon aban na jom thei lhon ahi,” atile, amanin ahi poi hithei ponte ati lhon in “Keini tujan hiche mun a ong dunga geh mai lhon tange,” ati.
3 But Lot insisted so strongly that they followed him into his house. He prepared a feast for them and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
Hinlah Lot in aha sei behset jeh chun amani jong Lot in lang a geh din ache tauve, hichun Lot in amani neh ding chol kisolou changlhah akanpeh in amani in jong ane lhon tai.
4 Before they had gone to bed, all the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, surrounded the house.
Hinlah anehjou don khojin masang chun Sodom khopi sunga khangthah, tehse, kiti jouse ahung kikhom un amaho gena in chu aum kimvel tauvin ahi.
5 They called out to Lot, saying, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Send them out to us so we can have relations with them!”
Amaho chun Lot henga asam tauvin “Nangma koma ageh dinga hungho chu hoilam a nakoi hitam? amani chu hinpui doh in amani chutoh ka lupkhom diu ahi tin athum tauve.”
6 Lot went outside to meet them, shutting the door behind him.
Hichun Lot chu ahung pot doh in amaho toh kihoulim din, anung lam a kot chu akhah in ahi.
7 “Please, my brothers,” he pleaded, “don’t do such a wicked thing!
“Lungset tah in sopite ho” tin ama atao tan, “Hitobang thilphalou hi bolda uvin.”
8 Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them to you, and you can do to them as you please. But do not do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.”
Veuvin Keiman chanu nungah thengsel ni kaneiye. Keiman ka chanu teni hin puidoh ing ting nangho koma, amani chu nadei dei a nabol theiyu ahi.
9 “Get out of the way!” they replied. And they declared, “This one came here as a foreigner, and he is already acting like a judge! Now we will treat you worse than them.” And they pressed in on Lot and moved in to break down the door.
Hinlah amahon Lot chu “Kinung chen,” ati uvin, chu jongle amahon aseiyun “Hiche pa hi ahung khopem len chule eiho thutanna pang ding akigo vehta! tua amaho (Vantil teni), ki gim bol na ding sanga nangma agilou cheh a kabol ding'u nahi,” atiuve. Hitichun Lot chu hatah in anouvin kotpi jong chu phutjal ding in ahin go tauve.
10 But the men inside reached out, pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.
Hichun vantil teni chun Lot chu akhut na aman lhon in akailut lhonin insunga kot chu akhah tauve.
11 And they struck the men at the entrance, young and old, with blindness, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the door.
Hichun vantil teni chun kotpi phunga miho chu ateh jong akhangthah jong abonchauvin amit'u achosah lhon in ahile abonchauvin kotphung holmon akisu lungdong gam tauve.
12 Then the two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—a son-in-law, your sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here,
Phat chomkhat jou vin vantil teni chun Lot jah a hitin asei lhon e, “Hiche khopi a hi sopi ule nao adang nanei nahlai em? na chanu jipa ho hihen, na chapate hihen, na chanu ho hihen lang koi dang dang hi jong le hiche khopi sunga nangma mi poupou chu abonchauvin hiche mun akon hin pui dohtan.”
13 because we are about to destroy this place. For the outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that He has sent us to destroy it.”
Ajeh chu hiche khopi hi pumsuh mang ding kati lhon ahi tai. Awgin hung kithong hi aphatmo na alen lheh tan Pathen kom ahin pha tai, chujeh a chu keini hi asumang dia eihin sol lhon ahi.
14 So Lot went out and spoke to the sons-in-law who were pledged in marriage to his daughters. “Get up,” he said. “Get out of this place, for the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.
Hijeh chun Lot chu apot doh in achanute ni jipa ding teni jah a chun, “Kinloi tah in hiche khopi akon hin potdoh loi lhon in, ajeh chu Pakaiyin hiche khopi asuhmang ding ahi tai,” aga ti leh, achanu teni jipa ding teni chun a tot dan in ana gel lhon e.
15 At daybreak the angels hurried Lot along, saying, “Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city.”
Kho ahung vahlhah a jingkah chun vantil teni chu ahung kino lheh lhon tan, “Gang in Lot,” tin asei peh lhon e, “na jinu chule na chanute pui doh in hikom akon in pot doh'in tutu hin achuti louleh nangma hiche khopi toh'in suhmang tha a na um ding ahiye,” ati lhon e.
16 But when Lot hesitated, the men grabbed his hand and the hands of his wife and his two daughters. And they led them safely out of the city, because of the LORD’s compassion for them.
Lot chu akhongai na laiyin, vantil teni chun ama khut, ajinu khut, chule achanute ni khut na aman lhon in khopi pam lam ah ajamdohpi lhon in ahi, ajeh chu Pathen in amaho angailut lheh jeng in ahi.
17 As soon as the men had brought them out, one of them said, “Run for your lives! Do not look back, and do not stop anywhere on the plain! Flee to the mountains, or you will be swept away!”
Amaho khopi pam langa ahin puidoh lhon phat in Vantil teni in thu amop in “Naki hinso thei na dingu vin jam dohloi jin hung jong hung kinung hei hih uvin phaicham dunga jong bangpa hihhel uvin, thinglhang lam'a jam doh loiyun achuti louleh nangma jong suhmanga na um tha khah ding ahi,” ati peh lhon e.
18 But Lot replied, “No, my lords, please!
Hichun Lot chun amani jah'a “Ahipoi ka Pakai,” atin!
19 Your servant has indeed found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness by sparing my life. But I cannot run to the mountains; the disaster will overtake me, and I will die.
Nangman neina ngailu lheh in chule ka hinkho jong neina huhdoh in chukeo hilouvin ngailut na sangtah jong nei musah in, Hinlah molsang langa kache jou lou ding ahiye, thinan eiphah lo ding ahi, ka hinkho kichai ding ahi.
20 Look, there is a town nearby where I can flee, and it is a small place. Please let me flee there—is it not a small place? Then my life will be saved.”
Vetem in khoneo phai-cham khat muthei in aum'e, jamlut nading in abailam in chule naicha bou ahi; ka kihinso na ding in lungsettah in hikom a khun nei jamlut sah tan,” ati.
21 “Very well,” he answered, “I will grant this request as well, and will not demolish the town you indicate.
Vantil in adonbut in “aphai tua nasei jong hi nanop peh ingting, chule keiman hiche phaicham gam'a um khopi nasei jong khu sumangda tange.
22 Hurry! Run there quickly, for I cannot do anything until you reach it.” That is why the town was called Zoar.
Ahin kino gang un, jamdoh loijun, Ajeh chu keiman ima ka bolthei lou ding nangma ho khulam na lhun kahseu vin,” (Hiche in avetsah ahil chet chu khopi min chu Zoar kiti ahin hiche chu ahile khomun neocha tina ahi).
23 And by the time the sun had risen over the land, Lot had reached Zoar.
Lot Zoar mun agah lhun chun jingkah nisa hungso doh jou tah ahi.
24 Then the LORD rained down sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens.
Hichun Pathen in vanthamjolla konin meikong chule hui thanei thina thei akongthei hui Sodom le Gomorrah chunga ajuh sah tai.
25 Thus He destroyed these cities and the entire plain, including all the inhabitants of the cities and everything that grew on the ground.
Chule Pathen in khopi teni jong, phaicham geiya akhopi teni sunga cheng jouse ahin, tolla kehdoh thingna louna abonchan asugam hel tai.
26 But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Hinlah Lot Inneipi chu aki nunghei jin anunglam agah vet leh chiphung asoh in khom bang in akitung den tai.
27 Early the next morning, Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD.
Chule Abraham chu ajing jingkah matah in ache loijin Pakai angsunga adinna mun a chun ading in,
28 He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and all the land of the plain, and he saw the smoke rising from the land like smoke from a furnace.
Sodom le Gomorrah lam gam chu agah vesuh in ahile, vetan agam meikhu pi chu meihol kilhut bang in akhu akitung doh jen jun jeng chu amu tan ahi.
29 So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, He remembered Abraham, and He brought Lot out of the catastrophe that destroyed the cities where he had lived.
Hinlah Pathen in Abraham taona ageldoh in hijeh chun asopipa Lot chu phaicham khopi asuhmang masang in apuidoh in, chujou vin Lot chenna khopi teni chu a sumang tai.
30 Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains—for he was afraid to stay in Zoar—where they lived in a cave.
Chuin phat chomkhat jouvin Lot le achanu te nin Zoar mun chu adalha uvin, thinglhang lam ajon in, songko sung khat a achanute ni chu toh'a cheng khom tauve.
31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man in the land to sleep with us, as is the custom over all the earth.
Nikhat chu Lot chanu teni alenjo nu chun anao nu kom a hitin aseiye “Hikom gamsunga pasal gollhang aum tapoi midangho banga ji enei lhon lou ding ahi tai. Chuleh eihing hon ipa jong hungvoija ateh lang ahi tan, cha aneilou ding ahi tai.
32 Come, let us get our father drunk with wine so we can sleep with him and preserve his line.”
Hung in ipa hi khamna thei donsah hitin, akham teng iki timatpi lhon ding ahiye, hiche akona chu eiho insung hi ipa akon a chilhah inei doh lhon ding ahibou e,” ati.
33 So that night they got their father drunk with wine, and the firstborn went in and slept with her father; he was not aware when she lay down or when she got up.
Hichun amanin hiche jan chun apa lengpi twi akham sah lhonin, chuin alenjo nu chu asunglhan apa to aga kiti mat lhon tan ahin apa chun achanu aluppet jong atho doh pet jong ahepoi.
34 The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Look, I slept with my father last night. Let us get him drunk with wine again tonight so you can go in and sleep with him and we can preserve our father’s line.”
Ajing ni chun alenjo nun anaonu kom ah hitin aseiye, “Keima janlhah chun ipa to kaki timat ka lum lhon tai, tujan jong lengpi twija khamsah hitin, tujan teng nangma gache in lang ga ki timatpi in hiche akona eiho chilhah hi ipa a kona bou ikisem doh thei ding bou ahi,” ati.
35 So again that night they got their father drunk with wine, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him; he was not aware when she lay down or when she got up.
Hiche jan chun amanin apa lhon lengpi twi adonkham sah lhon in chuin aneojo nu aga sunglha kit in apa to aga ki timat lhon kit tan, amasa abang chun achanu aneonu ahung lup pet akitho dohpet jong ahepoi.
36 Thus both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.
Hiche jeh chun Lot chanute ni'n apa akon in nao ahin vop gel lhon tan ahi.
37 The older daughter gave birth to a son and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites of today.
Achanu alenjo nu chun nao pasal khat ahing tan amin chu Moab asah tai, amapa chu nam khat ahung hitan tua Moab mite kiti hohi ahiuve.
38 The younger daughter also gave birth to a son, and she named him Ben-ammi. He is the father of the Ammonites of today.
Aneojo nun nao pasal khat ahing kit in, amanun achapa min chu Ben-ammi asah tai. Amahi nam khat mipa lamka ahung hin tua Ammon mite hohi ahiuve.
