< 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,
Nandoake e Sedome amy harivay i anjely roe rey, naho niambesatse an-dalam-bei’ i Sedome ey t’i Lote. Niisa’ i Lote, le niongake hifanalaka am’iereo vaho naboko’e an-tane ty lahara’e.
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.”
Hoe re: Eo hey, ry roandriañeo, Ehe, mivevea mb’ an-traño’ o mpitoro’oo mb’eo hia­leñe ao naho hanasa fandia; le mañaleñaleña hanonjohy ty lia’ areo. Hoe iereo, Aiy, apoho hialeñe an-kiririsa atoy.
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.
Fe nimanea’e fiboliboly le nitolike iareo nimoak’ añ’anjomba’e ao; le naña­lankaña’e sabadidake naho nitono mofo po-dalivay vaho nikama iereo.
4 Before they had gone to bed, all the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, surrounded the house.
Aa ie mbe tsy nàndre, inao o lahilahi’ i rovaio, ondati’ i Sedomeo, ty ajalahy naho ty bey, ze kila lahilahy pak’am-pifaritsoha’e ro niarikoboñe amy anjombay,
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!”
nikaike ty hoe amy Lote, Aia i lahilahy niheo mb’ama’o hariva zao rey? Akaro ama’ay haharendreha’ay.
6 Lot went outside to meet them, shutting the door behind him.
Niakatse an-tsarirañe t’i Lote le narindri’e amboho’ey i lalañe
7 “Please, my brothers,” he pleaded, “don’t do such a wicked thing!
vaho nanao ty hoe, O ry rahalahikoo, ko anoe’ areo o halò-tsereke zao.
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.”
Ingo hey, aman’ anak’ ampela roe mbe tsy mahavany lahy iraho; ehe angao hakareko mb’ama’areo atoy vaho ano am’iereo ze atao soa am-pihaino’ areo; fe ko anoa’ areo ndra inoñ’ inoñe amy lahilahy rey kanao mipalitse ambane tafo-trañoko ao.
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.
Fa hoe ka iereo, Misitaha! le tinovo’ iareo ty hoe, Niambahiny atoy itia te niavy, aa vaho mipay ho mpizaka! Aa le ihe ty ho silofe’ay hisolo iareo. Le zineha’ iereo mafe t’i Lote vaho didy tsy nampipoñake i lalambeiy.
10 But the men inside reached out, pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.
Aa le nahiti’ i lahilahy rey o fità’eo le tinari’iareo hizilike mb’am’iereo añ’anjomba ao t’i Lote, naho narindri’ iereo i lalañey,
11 And they struck the men at the entrance, young and old, with blindness, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the door.
vaho zinevo’ iareo an-kagoàñe o lahilahy an-dala’ i anjombaio, ty kede naho ty bey, vaho nimokots’ avao iereo nipay i lalañey.
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,
Le hoe i lahilahy rey amy Lote, Ia ka ty ama’o atoañe? He vinanto’o ke ana-dahi’o, ke anak’ ampela’o, ndra iaia ama’o an-drova atoa—akaro boak’ an-toetse atoy
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.”
fa harotsa’ay ty rova toy, amy te nionjoñ’ añatrefa’ Iehovà ty fikointsa’ ondati’eo, vaho nirahe’ Iehovà zahay handro­tsak’ aze.
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.
Aa le niavotse t’i Lote nanao ty hoe amo vinanto nañenga o anak’ ampela’eoo, Miongaha le iakaro ty toetse toy, fa ho ro­tsa­he’ Iehovà ty rova toy. Fe natao’ o vinanto’eo t’ie nisole.
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.”
Ie nanjirike ty maraindray, nanaeñe i Lote i anjely rey ami’ty hoe: Mitroara, taono t’i vali’o naho o anak’ ampela’o roe toañe, tsy mone ho mongoreñe ami’ty halo-tsere’ ty rova toy.
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.
F’ie nihenekenek’ avao, le rinambe’ o lahilahio ty fita’e naho ty fita’ i vali’ey vaho ty taña’ i anak’ ampela’e roe rey, ie niferenaiña’ Iehovà, le nendese’ iereo vaho napok’ alafe’ i rovay.
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!”
Ie fa nasese alafe ao le hoe re, Mirombaha fiay, le ko mitoli-boho vaho ko tambatse am-bavatane atoa; mihere­reaha mb’am-bohi­tse mb’eo tsy mone ho faopaoheñe.
18 But Lot replied, “No, my lords, please!
Le hoe t’i Lote am’ iereo: Ehe! tsie, ry talèko;
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.
ingo te nisohe’o ty mpitoro’o, naho nonjone’o ty fitretreza’o ahy amy te rinomba’o ty haveloko; f’ie tsy hahafilay mb’ am-bohitse mb’eo, tsy mone hizo hankàñe vaho hikenkañe.
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.”
Hehe ty marine naho mete rifiteñe o rova ey hoek’ eo, fa kede ‘nio. Angao hihitrifako, tsy raha kede hao, soa te ho veloñe ty fiaiko?
21 “Very well,” he answered, “I will grant this request as well, and will not demolish the town you indicate.
Aa le hoe re tama’e, Ingo, fa nandraeko ty lahara’o amo raha zao, fa tsy ho rotsaheñe i rovay ty amy saontsi’oy.
22 Hurry! Run there quickly, for I cannot do anything until you reach it.” That is why the town was called Zoar.
Masikà, itribaho an-day, fa tsy hahapi-draha Iraho ampara’ t’ie mandoak’ ey. Aa le natao ty hoe Tsoare i rovay.
23 And by the time the sun had risen over the land, Lot had reached Zoar.
Fa nanjirik’ an-tane atoy i àndroy te niavy e Tsoare ao t’i Lote.
24 Then the LORD rained down sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens.
Heneke izay, le nañiliña’ ­Iehovà solifara naho afo boak’ am’ Iehovà andike­rañe ao ty Sedome naho i Amorà,
25 Thus He destroyed these cities and the entire plain, including all the inhabitants of the cities and everything that grew on the ground.
vaho narotsa’e i rova rey, naho i vava-tane iabiy naho ze mpimoneñe amy rova rey vaho ze nitiry amy taney.
26 But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Fe nitoli-boho ty vali’e, vaho ninjare vongan-tsira.
27 Early the next morning, Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD.
Nañaleñale mb’amy toetse nijo­haña’e añatrefa’ Iehovày mb’eo t’i Avrahame
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.
vaho nitalake mañambane eñe mb’amy Sedome naho i Amorà naho i vavatane iabiy le nahaoniñe ty hatoe’ i taney nionjoñe manahake ty fifororoaha’ ty hatoem-pitranahañe.
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.
Aa ie narotsan’ Añahare o rova amy vavataneio, le nitiahin’ Añahare t’i Avrahame vaho nirahe’e hiakatse boak’ añivo’ i fandro­tsahañey t’i Lote, ie finongo’e o rova nimoneña’ i Loteo.
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.
Ie amy zao, niavotse boak’e Tsoare t’i Lote vaho nitobe ambo­hitse ey, ie naho i anak’ ampela’e roe ama’e rey, amy te nanembañe aze ty himoneñe e Tsoare; aa le nimo­neñe am-po lakato ao, ie naho i anak’ ampela’e roe rey.
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.
Le hoe ty tañoloñoloña’e aman-jai’e, Fa bey ‘nio ty raentika, vaho tsy eo t’indaty an-tane atoy ty himoak’ aman-tika an-tsata’ ty tane bey toy.
32 Come, let us get our father drunk with wine so we can sleep with him and preserve his line.”
Aa le antao hampikamaen-tika divay ty raentika vaho hiolots’ ama’e, hañajàn-tika tariratse ty raentika.
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.
Nampi­kamae’ iereo divay ty rae’e amy haleñey; le nimoak’ aman-drae’e ao ty taño­lo­ñoloña’e nifandia-tihy ama’e, f’ie tsy nahafohiñe ty nandrea’e ndra ty nitroara’e.
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.”
Ie niloak’andro, le hoe i tañoloñoloña’ey aman-jai’e, Niolotse aman-draeko iraho; antao hampikamaentika divay indrai­ke te hariva; le ihe ka ro hizilik’ ao hifandia’o tihy, hañajañe tariratse ho aman-draen-tika.
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.
Aa le nampikamae’ iereo divay indra­ike ty rae’ iareo amy haleñey; le niongake ty zai’e naho niolora’e; fe na­moea’e ty fandrea’e naho ty fitroara’e.
36 Thus both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.
Aa le sindre nampiareñe’ i Lote rae’e i anak’ampela’e roe rey.
37 The older daughter gave birth to a son and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites of today.
Nisamake ana-dahy i tañoloñoloña’ey le natao Mòabe ty añara’e; Ie ty rae’ o nte-Mòabeo pak’ henaneo.
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.
Nahatoly ana-dahy ka ty zai’e vaho natao’e Benamý ty añara’e; ie ty rae’ o anak’Amoneo pak’androany.
