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.
其二個の天使黄昏にソドムに至るロト時にソドムの門に坐し居たりしがこれを視起て迎へ首を地にさげて
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.
言けるは我主よ請ふ僕の家に臨み足を濯ひて宿りつとに起て途に遄征たまへ彼等言ふ否我等は街衢に宿らんと
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.
然ど固く強ければ遂に彼の所に臨みて其家に入るロト乃ち彼等のために筵を設け酵いれぬパンを炊て食はしめたり
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;
斯て未だ寢ざる前に邑の人々即ちソドムの人老たるも若きも諸共に四方八方より來たれる民皆其家を環み
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.
ロトを呼て之に言けるは今夕爾に就たる人は何處にをるや彼等を我等の所に携へ出せ我等之を知らん
6 And Lot went out to them in the doorway, shutting the door after him.
ロト入口に出て其後の戸を閉ぢ彼等の所に至りて
7 And he said, My brothers, do not this evil.
言けるは請ふ兄弟よ惡き事を爲すなかれ
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.
我に未だ男知ぬ二人の女あり請ふ我之を携へ出ん爾等の目に善と見ゆる如く之になせよ唯此人等は旣に我家の蔭に入たれば何をも之になすなかれ
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.
彼等曰ふ爾退け又言けるは此人は來り寓れる身なるに恒に士師とならんとす然ば我等彼等に加ふるよりも多くの害を爾に加へんと遂に彼等酷しく其人ロトに逼り前よりて其戸を破んとせしに
10 But the men put out their hands and took Lot into the house to them, shutting the door again.
彼二人其手を舒しロトを家の内に援いれて其戸を閉ぢ
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.
家の入口にをる人衆をして大なるも小も倶に目を眩しめければ彼等遂に入口を索ぬるに困憊たり
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;
斯て二人ロトに言けるは外に爾に屬する者ありや汝の婿子女および凡て邑にをりて爾に屬する者を此所より携へ出べし
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.
此處の號呼ヱホバの前に大になりたるに因て我等之を滅さんとすヱホバ我等を遣はして之を滅さしめたまふ
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.
ロト出て其女を娶る婿等に告て言けるはヱホバが邑を滅したまふべければ爾等起て此處を出よと然ど婿等は之を戲言と視爲り
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.
曉に及て天使ロトを促して言けるは起て此なる爾の妻と二人の女を携へよ恐くは爾邑の惡とともに滅されん
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.
然るに彼遲延ひしかば二人其手と其妻の手と其二人の女の手を執て之を導き出し邑の外に置りヱホバ斯彼に仁慈を加へたまふ
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.
旣に之を導き出して其一人曰けるは逃遁て汝の生命を救へ後を回顧るなかれ低地の中に止るなかれ山に遁れよ否ずば爾滅されん
18 And Lot said to them, Not so, O my Lord;
ロト彼等に言けるはわが主よ請ふ斯したまふなかれ
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;
視よ僕爾の目のまへに恩を得たり爾大なる仁慈を吾に施してわが生命を救たまふ吾山に遁る能はず恐くは災害身に及びて死るにいたらん
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.
視よ此邑は遁ゆくに近くして且小し我をして彼處に遁れしめよしからば吾生命全からん是は小き邑なるにあらずや
21 And he said, See, I have given you your request in this one thing more: I will not send destruction on this town.
天使之にいひけるは視よ我此事に關ても亦爾の願を容たれば爾が言ふところの邑を滅さじ
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.
急ぎて彼處に遁れよ爾が彼處に至るまでは我何事をも爲を得ずと是に因て其邑の名はゾアル(小し)と稱る
23 The sun was up when Lot came to Zoar.
ロト、ゾアルに至れる時日地の上に昇れり
24 Then the Lord sent fire and flaming smoke raining down from heaven on Sodom and Gomorrah.
ヱホバ硫黄と火をヱホバの所より即ち天よりソドムとゴモラに雨しめ
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.
其邑と低地と其邑の居民および地に生るところの物を盡く滅したまへり
26 But Lot's wife, looking back, became a pillar of salt.
ロトの妻は後を回顧たれば鹽の柱となりぬ
27 And Abraham got up early in the morning and went to the place where he had been talking with the Lord:
アブラハム其朝夙に起て其嘗てヱホバの前に立たる處に至り
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.
ソドム、ゴモラおよび低地の全面を望み見るに其地の烟燄窰の烟のごとくに騰上れり
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.
神低地の邑を滅したまふ時即ちロトの住る邑を滅したまふ時に當り神アブラハムを眷念て斯其滅亡の中よりロトを出したまへり
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.
斯てロト、ゾアルに居ることを懼れたれば其二人の女と偕にゾアルを出て上りて山に居り其二人の女子とともに巖穴に住り
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:
茲に長女季女にいひけるは我等の父は老いたり又此地には我等に偶て世の道を成す人あらず
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,
然ば我等父に酒を飮せて與に寢ね父に由て子を得んと
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.
遂に其夜父に酒を飮せ長女入て其父と與に寢たり然るにロトは女の起臥を知ざりき
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.
翌日長女季女に言けるは我昨夜わが父と寢たり我等此夜又父に酒をのません爾入て與に寢よわれらの父に由て子を得ることをえんと
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.
乃ち其夜も亦父に酒をのませ季女起て父と與に寢たりロトまた女の起臥を知ざりき
36 And so the two daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
斯ロトの二人の女其父によりて孕みたり
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.
長女子を生み其名をモアブと名く即ち今のモアブ人の先祖なり
38 And the younger had a son and gave him the name Ben-ammi: from him come the children of Ammon to this day.
季女も亦子を生み其名をベニアンミと名く即ち今のアンモニ人の先祖なり
