< Genesis 19 >

1 And the two angels came to Sodom at evening. And Lot sat by the gate of Sodom, and Lot having seen them, rose up to meet them, and he worshipped with his face to the ground, and said,
Kalvantami kahni touh tangmin lah Sodom kho a tho roi. Lot teh khopui thung kâennae longkha koe a tahung teh, Lot ni ahnimouh roi a hmu navah dawn hanelah a thaw teh, talai dawk a tabo.
2 Lo! [my] lords, turn aside to the house of your servant, and rest from your journey, and wash your feet, and having risen early in the morning ye shall depart on your journey. And they said, Nay, but we will lodge in the street.
Ahni ni ka bawipa roi, pahren lahoi na sanpa im kâen roi nateh roe rawi ei. Na khok hai pâsu roi ei telah atipouh. Ahnimouh roi ni telah nahoeh, alawilah ka roe roi han doeh atipouh.
3 And he constrained them, and they turned aside to him, and they entered into his house, and he made a feast for them, and baked unleavened cakes for them, and they did eat.
Hatei, puenghoi a pasawt dawkvah, ahni koe a cei roi teh, im thung a kâen roi. Hahoi, tonphuenhoehe vaiyei a poe teh a ca roi.
4 But before they went to sleep, the men of the city, the Sodomites, compassed the house, both young and old, all the people together.
Ahnimanaw a i awh hoehnahlan vah, Sodom kho e tongpa camo matawng abuemlah a tho awh teh, im khik a kalup awh.
5 And they called out Lot, and said to him, Where are the men that went in to thee this night? bring them out to us that we may be with them.
Lot a kaw awh teh, tapa tangmin lah na im ka tho e tami roi namaw ao. Hote tami roi ikhai hanelah ka ngai awh, alawilah tâcawt sak telah atipouh awh.
6 And Lot went out to them to the porch, and he shut the door after him,
Lot teh takhang koehoi alawilah ahnimouh koe a tâco teh, tho a khan hnukkhu,
7 and said to them, By no means, brethren, do not act villanously.
ka hmaunawnghanaw pahren lahoi thoenae sak awh hanh.
8 But I have two daughters, who have not known a man. I will bring them out to you, and do ye use them as it may please you, only do not injury to these men, to avoid which they came under the shelter of my roof.
Khenhaw! tongpa ka panuek hoeh rae ka canu kahni touh ka tawn. Na ngai patetlah na ti thai awh. Hatdawkvah, pahren lahoi ahnimouh roi nangmouh koe ka tâco sak han. Imyin roi koe teh banghai sak awh hanh.
9 And they said to him, Stand back there, thou camest in to sojourn, was it also to judge? Now then we would harm thee more than them. And they pressed hard on the man, even Lot, and they drew nigh to break the door.
Ahnimanaw ni, kâhnawnh telah atipouh awh. Hahoi nang teh imyin lah na o eiteh, lawkcengkung lah o hanelah na kâcai. Hatdawkvah, ahnimanaw koe ka sak awh e hlak nang koe hoe kathout lah ka sak awh han telah atipouh awh. Hahoi Lot hah rek a savek awh teh, tho hai peng raphoe hanelah a tho awh.
10 And the men stretched forth their hands and drew Lot in to them into the house, and shut the door of the house.
Hatei, ahnimouh roi ni a kut hoi imthung lah Lot hah a sawn roi teh, tho khik a khan sin roi.
11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, and they were wearied with seeking the door.
Tho teng kaawm e tami kathoeng kalen abuemlahoi a mit a dawn sak teh, tho hmawt thai awh hoeh.
12 And the men said to Lot, Hast thou here sons-in-law, or sons or daughters, or if thou hast any other friend in the city, bring them out of this place.
Ahnimouh roi ni Lot koevah, hivah nang hoi na kâkuen e tami ao rah maw. Na langa, capanaw, canunaw, hoehpawiteh, khothung kaawm e tâcawtkhai leih.
13 For we are going to destroy this place; for their cry has been raised up before the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA hmalah a hramki awh teh, a tarannae a len poung toe. Hatdawkvah, hie hmuen raphoe hanelah BAWIPA ni na patoun roi e doeh telah atipouh.
14 And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law who had married his daughters, and said, Rise up, and depart out of this place, for the Lord is about to destroy the city; but he seemed to be speaking absurdly before his sons-in-law.
Lot a tâco teh, a canu ka lat e a cavanaw koevah, thaw awh leih. Hete hmuen heh tâcawt takhai awh leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni khopui a raphoe han toe atipouh. Hatei, a cavanaw ni panuilai lah a pouk awh.
15 But when it was morning, the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise and take thy wife, and thy two daughters whom thou hast, and go forth; lest thou also be destroyed with the iniquities of the city.
Amom kho vumpava a dai navah, kalvantami roi ni, thaw leih, na yu hoi na canu roi tâcawtkhai leih, nahoeh pawiteh, hete kho reknae na khang payon vaih telah ngangngang a cangawt.
16 And they were troubled, and the angels laid hold on his hand, and the hand of his wife, and the hands of his two daughters, in that the Lord spared him.
Hatei, a hnanthoe dawkvah, kalvantami roi ni, ama hoi a yu, a canu roi hoi a kut dawk hoi a sawn teh, khopui alawilah a tâcokhai. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni a pahren dawk doeh.
17 And it came to pass when they brought them out, that they said, Save thine own life by all means; look not round to that which is behind, nor stay in all the country round about, escape to the mountain, lest perhaps thou be overtaken together with them.
Alawilah, a tâcokhai awh hnukkhu, na hringnae a hlout thai nahanlah yawng leih. Hnuklah kamlang laihoi khen hanh. Tanghling koe khoeroe awm hanh. Mon vah yawng leih. Nahoeh pawiteh na due han telah atipouh.
18 And Lot said to them, I pray, Lord,
Lot ni ahnimouh roi koe, telah nahoeh, ka bawipa roi.
19 since thy servant has found mercy before thee, and thou hast magnified thy righteousness, in what thou doest towards me that my soul may live, —but I shall not be able to escape to the mountain, lest perhaps the calamity overtake me and I die.
Na sanpa ni na mithmu vah minhmai kahawi ka hmu toe. Ka hringnae na hlout sak teh, kai dawk lungpatawnae kalen poung na kamnue sak toe. Hatei, mon lah teh ka yawng thai mahoeh. Telah nahoeh pawiteh, runae ni na kei vaiteh, kadout han doeh.
20 Behold this city is near for me to escape thither, which is a small one, and there shall I be preserved, is it not little? and my soul shall live because of thee.
Khenhaw! hote kho teh yawng nahane a hnaica. Kho kathoungcalah hai ao. Hote kho kathoengca koe na yawng sak haw. Ka hring han doeh telah atipouh.
21 And he said to him, Behold, I have had respect to thee also about this thing, that I should not overthrow the city about which thou hast spoken.
Ahnimouh roi ni na kâhei e patetlah lung na kuep khai toe. Na dei e kho teh ka raphoe mahoeh.
22 Hasten therefore to escape thither, for I shall not be able to do anything until thou art come thither; therefore he called the name of that city, Segor.
Karanglah hawvah yawng leih. Hote kho dawk na pha hoehnahlan bang hno hai ka sak thai mahoeh atipouh. Hatdawkvah, hote kho teh Zoar telah min a phung.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth, when Lot entered into Segor.
Zoar kho dawk Lot a kâen navah talai van kanî teh a tâconae toe.
24 And the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.
Hahoi BAWIPA ni BAWIPA ma koehoi e ganhmai Sodom hoi Gomorrah kho dawk kho lah a rak sak.
25 And he overthrew these cities, and all the country round about, and all that dwelt in the cities, and the plants springing out of the ground.
Hote khopui roi hoi thingyei yawn pueng, khopui karingkungnaw abuemlah talai hoi ka paw e thingkung pueng koung a raphoe.
26 And his wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Hatei, a yu teh hnuklah a kangvawi dawkvah, palawi khom lah a kangcoung.
27 And Abraam rose up early to go to the place, where he had stood before the Lord.
Abraham teh BAWIPA hmalah a kangduenae hmuen koe amom vah a cei.
28 And he looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha, and towards the surrounding country, and saw, and behold a flame went up from the earth, as the smoke of a furnace.
Sodom hoi Gomorrah thingyei yawn pueng a khet navah, takhuen koe e hmaikhu patetlah ram pueng dawk e hmaikhu kahlun lah a luen e hah a hmu.
29 And it came to pass that when God destroyed all the cities of the region round about, God remembered Abraam, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when the Lord overthrew those cities in which Lot dwelt.
Hottelah Cathut ni thingyei yawn dawk e khopuinaw a raphoe lahunnah hoi Lot onae khopuinaw a raphoe nah Cathut ni Abraham a pahnim hoeh dawkvah, Lot teh rawknae koehoi a hlout sak.
30 And Lot went up out of Segor, and dwelt in the mountain, he and his two daughters with him, for he feared to dwell in Segor; and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters with him.
Hottelah Lot teh, Zoar kho hoi a luen teh mon dawk kho a sak. A canu kahni touh hai ama koe ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Zoar kho dawk o hane ngam hoeh. Hahoi a canu kahni touh hoi lungngoum thung ao awh.
31 And the elder said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is no one on the earth who shall come in to us, as it is fit in all the earth.
A canu kacue e ni a nawngha koe, apa a matawng toe, talai van e phung patetlah maimouh roi na ka ipkhai hane tongpa awm hoeh.
32 Come and let us make our father drink wine, and let us sleep with him, and let us raise up seed from our father.
Thohaw, apa misurtui pânei roi sei. Apa e miphun apout hoeh nahanlah ipkhai roi sei, telah atipouh.
33 So they made their father drink wine in that night, and the elder went in and lay with her father that night, and he knew not when he slept and when he rose up.
Hote tangmin vah, misurtui a na pa a pânei roi teh, a na pa ni a ikhai e hoi bout a thaw e hah panuek hoeh.
34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the elder said to the younger, Behold, I slept yesternight with our father, let us make him drink wine in this night also, and do thou go in and sleep with him, and let us raise up seed of our father.
Atangtho amom teh, kacue e ni paduem tangmin apa hoi kai ka i roi toe. Atu tangmin vah misurtui bout pânei sei. Apa e miphun a pout hoeh nahanelah, nang louk ipkhai loe atipouh.
35 So they made their father drink wine in that night also, and the younger went in and slept with her father, and he knew not when he slept, nor when he arose.
Hote tangmin haiyah a na pa misurtui a pânei roi hnukkhu, kanaw e ni a na pa a ikhai teh, a i e hoi bout a thaw e a na pa ni panuek hoeh.
36 And the two daughters of Lot conceived by their father.
Hottelah Lot e canu roi teh camo a vawn roi.
37 And the elder bore a son and called his name Moab, saying, [He is] of my father. This is the father of the Moabites to this present day.
Kacue e ni tongpa a khe teh, Moab telah a min a phung. Hote tami teh atu kaawm e Moab miphunnaw e a na pa lah ao.
38 And the younger also bore a son, and called his name Amman, saying, The son of my family. This is the father of the Ammanites to this present day.
Kanaw e ni hai tongpa a khe teh, Benammi telah min a phung. Hote tami teh sahnin totouh kaawm e Ammon miphunnaw e a na pa doeh.
