Genesis 19
1 And at nightfall the two angels came to Sodom; and Lot was seated at the way into the town: and when he saw them he got up and came before them, falling down on his face to the earth.
Nʼoge anyasị, ndị mmụọ ozi abụọ ahụ bịarutere Sọdọm. Lọt nọ ala nʼọnụ ụzọ ama obodo ahụ. Mgbe ọ hụrụ ha, o biliri jekwuru ha, hulata ihu ya nʼala.
2 And he said, My masters, come now into your servant's house and take your rest there for the night, and let your feet be washed; and early in the morning you may go on your way. And they said, Not so, but we will take our night's rest in the street.
Ọ sịrị, “Ndị nwe m, batanụ nʼụlọ ohu unu. Unu nwere ike saa ụkwụ unu, nọọkwa ọnọdụ abalị. Chi bọọ, unu nwere ike ibilikwa bido ịga nʼihu nʼije unu.” Ha zara sị, “Ee, anyị ga-edina nʼama.”
3 But he made his request more strongly, so they went with him into his house; and he got food ready for them, and made unleavened bread, of which they took.
Ma Lọt rịọsiri ha ike. Nʼikpeazụ ha sooro ya laa nʼụlọ ya. Ọ kwadooro ha ihe oriri, ya bụ achịcha na-ekoghị eko ka o ghere. Ha rikwara ya.
4 But before they had gone to bed, the men of the town, all the men of Sodom, came round the house, young and old, from every part of the town;
Tupu ha abanye ịrahụ ụra, ndị ikom obodo ahụ, ndị ikom Sọdọm, bịara gbaa ụlọ ahụ gburugburu, ma ụmụ okorobịa ma ndị agadi, ndị niile si nʼakụkụ obodo ahụ.
5 And crying out to Lot, they said, Where are the men who came to your house this night? Send them out to us, so that we may take our pleasure with them.
Ha kpọrọ Lọt oku sị ya, “Olee ebe ha nọ, bụ ndị ikom ahụ bịara nʼụlọ gị nʼabalị a? Kpọpụtara anyị ha ka anyị na ha dinakọọ.”
6 And Lot went out to them in the doorway, shutting the door after him.
Lọt pụkwuru ha nʼezi, mechie ụzọ ụlọ ya,
7 And he said, My brothers, do not this evil.
sị ha, “Bikonu, ndị enyi m, unu emela ihe ọjọọ dị otu a.
8 See now, I have two unmarried daughters; I will send them out to you so that you may do to them whatever seems good to you: only do nothing to these men, for this is why they have come under the shade of my roof.
Leenụ, enwere m ụmụ nke aka m, ụmụ agbọghọ abụọ na-amaghị nwoke. Ka m kpọpụtara unu ha, ka unu mee ha ihe masịrị unu. Ma hapụnụ ndị ikom ndị a, nʼihi na ha bụ ndị batara izere ndụ nʼụlọ m.”
9 And they said, Give way there. This one man, they said, came here from a strange country, and will he now be our judge? now we will do worse to you than to them; and pushing violently against Lot, they came near to get the door broken in.
Ha zara sị ya, “Pụọra anyị nʼụzọ. Mbịarambịa ka ị bụ! Leenụ mbịarambịa a! Ọ chọrọ ịbụ onye ikpe. Anyị mee gị ihe, ọ ga-ajọrọ gị njọ karịa ihe anyị ga-eme ha.” Ha nuru Lọt aka nughachi ya azụ, malite itiwa ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ya.
10 But the men put out their hands and took Lot into the house to them, shutting the door again.
Ma ndị ikom ahụ nọ nʼụlọ Lọt, setịpụrụ aka ha dọbata ya nʼụlọ, ma mechie ụzọ ahụ.
11 But the men who were outside the door they made blind, all of them, small and great, so that they were tired out with looking for the door.
Ha tiri ndị ikom ndị ahụ nọ nʼọnụ ụzọ ihe otiti nke mere ka ha kpụọ ìsì, onye ukwu ha na onye nta ha. Nʼihi ya, ha enweghị ike ịchọta ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ahụ.
12 Then the men said to Lot, Are there any others of your family here? sons-in-law or sons or daughters, take them all out of this place;
Ndị ikom abụọ ahụ gwara Lọt sị, “O nwere onye ọbụla ọzọ i nwere nʼebe a? Ndị ọgọ nwoke, maọbụ ụmụ gị ndị ikom, maọbụ ụmụ gị ndị inyom, na ọ bụ onye ọbụla bụ nke gị nʼobodo a. Site nʼebe a kpọpụ ha!
13 For we are about to send destruction on this place, because a great outcry against them has come to the ears of the Lord; and the Lord has sent us to put an end to the town.
Nʼihi na anyị na-aga imebi obodo a, mkpu akwa ruru Onyenwe anyị ntị megide ndị bi nʼobodo a adịla ukwuu, nke mere o ji zite anyị ibibi ya.”
14 And Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were married to his daughters, Come, let us go out of this place, for the Lord is about to send destruction on the town. But his sons-in-law did not take him seriously.
Ya mere, Lọt pụrụ gaa gwa ndị ọgọ ya nwoke, ndị na-akwado ịlụ ụmụ ya ndị inyom, sị ha, “Ọsọ, sinụ nʼobodo a pụọ. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-akwado ibibi ya.” Ma ndị ọgọ ya nwoke ndị a chere na ọ na-egwu egwu.
15 And when morning came, the angels did all in their power to make Lot go, saying, Get up quickly and take your wife and your two daughters who are here, and go, for fear that you come to destruction in the punishment of the town.
Nʼụtụtụ, mgbe chi na-abọta, ndị mmụọ ozi a kwagidere Lọt sị ya, “Ọsọ, kpọrọ nwunye gị na ụmụ gị ndị inyom abụọ ndị a site nʼebe a gbapụ, ma ọ bụghị ya, a ga-ekpochapụ unu nʼihi ajọ omume ndị obodo a.”
16 But while he was waiting, the men took him and his wife and his daughters by the hand, for the Lord had mercy on them, and put them outside the town.
Mgbe Lọt ka nọ na-eche ihe ọ ga-eme, ndị ikom ahụ jidere ya nʼaka, jidekwa nwunye ya, na ụmụ ya ndị inyom abụọ duru ha pụọ nʼobodo ahụ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nwere obi ebere nʼebe ha nọ.
17 And when they had put them out, he said, Go for your life, without looking back or waiting in the lowland; go quickly to the mountain or you will come to destruction.
Mgbe ha si nʼime obodo kpọpụta ha, otu onye nʼime ha gwara ha sị, “Gbalaganụ nʼihi ndụ unu. Unu elekwala anya nʼazụ. Unu akwụsịkwala ebe ọbụla na mbara ala. Gbaganụ nʼugwu, nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na unu emeghị otu a, a ga-ekpochapụ unu.”
18 And Lot said to them, Not so, O my Lord;
Ma Lọt sịrị ha, “Mba, ndị nwe m, bikonu,
19 See now, your servant has had grace in your eyes and great is your mercy in keeping my life from destruction, but I am not able to get as far as the mountain before evil overtakes me and death;
ohu unu achọtala amara nʼihu unu, unu egosila m obi ebere dị ukwuu site nʼichebe ndụ m. Ma agaghị m enwe ike gbalaga nʼugwu ka mbibi a ghara ịdakwasị m, m nwụọ.
20 This town, now, is near, and it is a little one: O, let me go there (is it not a little one?) so that my life may be safe.
Lee obodo dị nso nke m nwere ike ịgbaga. Ọ bụ obodo dị nta. Kwere ka m gbaga nʼebe ahụ. Obodo nta ka ọ bụ, ọ bụghị ya? Aga m echebekwa ndụ m na ya.”
21 And he said, See, I have given you your request in this one thing more: I will not send destruction on this town.
Ọ zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma, aga m emere gị dịka arịrịọ gị si dị. Agaghị m emebi obodo nta ahụ.
22 Go there quickly, for I am not able to do anything till you have come there. For this reason, the town was named Zoar.
Ma mee ngwangwa, nʼihi na o nweghị ihe ọbụla m ga-eme tutu ruo mgbe i ruru nʼebe ahụ.” (Ọ bụ nke a mere e ji akpọ aha obodo ahụ Zoa.)
23 The sun was up when Lot came to Zoar.
Mgbe Lọt rutere obodo Zoa, anwụ awalitela nʼala ahụ.
24 Then the Lord sent fire and flaming smoke raining down from heaven on Sodom and Gomorrah.
Mgbe ahụ Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼeluigwe zokwasị obodo Sọdọm na Gọmọra nkume ọkụ nke Onyenwe anyị mere ka o si nʼeluigwe zoo.
25 And he sent destruction on those towns, with all the lowland and all the people of those towns and every green thing in the land.
Otu a ka o si kwatuo obodo ndị ahụ niile dị na mbara ala ahụ niile, na ndị niile bi nʼobodo ndị ahụ. O kwatukwara ihe niile na-epu nʼala.
26 But Lot's wife, looking back, became a pillar of salt.
Ma mgbe nwunye Lọt lere anya nʼazụ, otu mgbe ahụ, ọ ghọrọ ogidi nnu.
27 And Abraham got up early in the morning and went to the place where he had been talking with the Lord:
Nʼụtụtụ echi ya, Ebraham biliri jeruo ebe ahụ o guzoro nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼụbọchị gara aga.
28 And looking in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the lowland, he saw the smoke of the land going up like the smoke of an oven.
Ọ lepụrụ anya nʼebe obodo Sọdọm na Gọmọra dị, na nʼebe mbara ala ndị ahụ niile dị. Ọ hụrụ anwụrụ ọkụ dị ukwuu nke si nʼala ahụ na-alali elu. Anwụrụ ọkụ a dị ka anwụrụ ọkụ si nʼebe a kwanyere ọkụ na-enwusi ike.
29 So it came about that when God sent destruction on the towns of the lowland, he kept his word to Abraham, and sent Lot safely away when he put an end to the towns where he was living.
Ya mere, mgbe Chineke bibiri obodo ndị ahụ dị na mbara ala, o chetara Ebraham, kpọpụta Lọt site nʼoke mbibi ahụ e bibiri obodo ndị ahụ Lọt bi nʼime ha.
30 Then Lot went up out of Zoar to the mountain, and was living there with his two daughters, for fear kept him from living in Zoar: and he and his daughters made their living-place in a hole in the rock.
Emesịa, Lọt na ụmụ ya ndị inyom abụọ hapụrụ obodo Zoa, nʼihi na ọ tụrụ egwu ibi nʼime Zoa. Ọ gara biri nʼime ọgba nkume ya na ụmụ ya ndị inyom abụọ.
31 And the older daughter said to her sister, Our father is old, and there is no man to be a husband to us in the natural way:
Otu ụbọchị, ada ya sịrị nke nta, “Nna anyị emeela agadi, ọ nwekwaghị nwoke ọbụla nọ nʼụwa a, onye ga-enye anyị ụmụ, dịka omenaala si dị nʼụwa niile.
32 Come, let us give our father much wine, and we will go into his bed, so that we may have offspring by our father,
Ka anyị mee ka nna anyị ṅụọ mmanya, ka anyị na ya dinakọọ, ka anyị chebe agbụrụ anyị site na nna anyị.”
33 And that night they made their father take much wine; and the older daughter went into his bed; and he had no knowledge of when she went in or when she went away.
Nʼabalị ahụ, ha mere ka nna ha ṅụọ mmanya, nke ada banyere soro nna ya dina. Ha abụọ nwere mmekọ. Ma ọ amaghị mgbe ada ya dinara maọbụ mgbe o bilikwara.
34 And on the day after, the older daughter said to the younger, Last night I was with my father; let us make him take much wine this night again, and do you go to him, so that we may have offspring by our father.
Nʼechi ya, ada gwara nwanne ya nke nta, “Mụ na nna anyị dinara nʼabalị gara aga. Ka anyị mee ka ọ ṅụọkwa mmanya nʼabalị taa, ka ị gaakwa ka gị na ya dina. Ka anyị mee ka agbụrụ anyị dịgide site na nna anyị.”
35 And that night again they made their father take much wine; and the younger daughter went into his bed; and he had no knowledge of when she went in or when she went away.
Ha mere ka nna ha ṅụọ mmanya nʼabalị ahụ, ada ya nke nta banyere ya na nna ya dinaa. Dịka ọ dịkwa na mbụ, nna ha amataghị mgbe o dinara ala maọbụ mgbe o bilitere.
36 And so the two daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
Ya mere, ụmụ ndị inyom Lọt abụọ ndị a tụrụ ime site nʼaka nna ha.
37 And the older daughter had a son, and she gave him the name Moab: he is the father of the Moabites to this day.
Nke ada mụtara nwa nwoke onye ọ gụrụ Moab. Ọ bụ ya bụ nna nna ndị Moab ruo taa.
38 And the younger had a son and gave him the name Ben-ammi: from him come the children of Ammon to this day.
Nwa ya nke nta mụtakwara nwa nwoke onye ọ gụrụ Ben-Ammi. Ọ bụ ya bụ nna nna ndị Amọn ruo taa.
