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,
Og de to Engle kom til Sodoma om Aftenen; men Lot sad i Sodomas Port, og der Lot saa dem, da stod han op og gik dem i Møde og bøjede Ansigtet til Jorden.
2 Behold! [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 you shall depart on your journey. And they said, Nay, but we will lodge in the street.
Og lian sagde: Se nu mine Herrer, kommer dog ind i eders Tjeners Hus, og bliver her i Nat, og toer eders Fødder, saa maa I staa aarle op og gaa eders Vej; og de sagde: Nej, men vi ville blive paa Gaden i Nat.
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.
Da nødte han dem meget, og de gik ind til ham og kom i hans Hus, og han gjorde dem et Gæstebud og bagede usyrede Brød, og de aade.
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.
Men førend de lagde sig, da omringede Mændene af Staden, Mændene af Sodoma, Huset, baade ung og gammel, det ganske Folk allesteds fra.
5 And they called out Lot, and said to him, Where are the men that went in to you this night? bring them out to us that we may be with them.
Og de kaldte ad Lot og sagde til ham: Hvor ere de Mænd, som kom til dig i Nat? før dem ud til os, at vi maa kende dem.
6 And Lot went out to them to the porch, and he shut the door after him,
Da gik Lot ud til dem uden for Døren og lukkede Døren efter sig.
7 and said to them, By no means, brethren, do not act villanously.
Og han sagde: Mine Brødre, kære, gører dem intet ondt!
8 But I have two daughters, who have not known a man. I will bring them out to you, and do you 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.
Se, kære, jeg har to Døtre, som ikke have kendt Mand, kære, jeg vil lede dem ud til eder, gører saa med dem, hvad eder godt synes; kun disse Mænd maa I ikke gøre noget; thi derfor ere de komne under mit Tags Skygge.
9 And they said to him, Stand back there, you came in to sojourn, was it also to judge? Now then we would harm you more than them. And they pressed hard on the man, even Lot, and they drew near to break the door.
Og de sagde: Kom nærmere; og de sagde: Denne ene er kommen at bosætte sig her og vil dømme; nu, vi ville gøre dig mere ondt end dem; saa trængte de saare hart ind paa Manden, paa Lot, og traadte til for at bryde Døren op.
10 And the men stretched forth their hands and drew Lot in to them into the house, and shut the door of the house.
Da udrakte Mændene deres Hænder og toge Lot ind til sig i Huset og lukkede Døren.
11 And they struck the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, and they were wearied with seeking the door.
Og Mændene, som vare uden for Husets Dør, sloge de med Blindhed, baade liden og stor, og disse søgte med Møje at finde Døren.
12 And the men said to Lot, Hast you here sons-in-law, or sons or daughters, or if you have any other friend in the city, bring them out of this place.
Da sagde de Mænd til Lot: Har du endnu her nogen Svigersøn eller Sønner eller Døtre af dig eller nogen, som hører dig til i Staden, saa før dem ud fra dette Sted!
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.
Thi vi skulle ødelægge dette Sted; thi deres Skrig er blevet stort for Herrens Aasyn, og Herren sendte os til at ødelægge den.
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.
Og Lot gik ud og talede med sine Svigersønner, som skulde tage hans Døtre, og sagde: Staar op, gaar ud fra dette Sted, thi Herren vil ødelægge Staden; men han syntes for hans Svigersønners Øjne, som han gækkede.
15 But when it was morning, the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise and take your wife, and your two daughters whom you have, and go forth; lest you also be destroyed with the iniquities of the city.
Og der det begyndte at dages, da skyndte Englene paa Lot og sagde: Staa op, tag din Hustru og dine to Døtre, som ere til Stede, at ikke ogsaa du omkommer ved Stadens Misgerning.
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.
Der han tøvede, da toge Mændene ham ved Haanden og hans Hustru ved Haanden og hans to Døtre ved Haanden, fordi Herren vilde spare ham, og de førte ham ud og lode ham blive uden for Staden.
17 And it came to pass when they brought them out, that they said, Save your 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 you be overtaken together with them.
Og det skete, der de havde ført dem udenfor, da sagde den ene: Frels dit Liv, se ikke bag dig, og stands ikke paa hele Sletten, frels dig paa Bjerget, at du ikke omkommer.
18 And Lot said to them, I pray, Lord,
Da sagde Lot til dem: Ak nej, Herre!
19 since your servant has found mercy before you, and you have magnified your righteousness, in what you do 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.
Se nu, din Tjener har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, og du har ladet din Miskundhed blive stor, som du har bevist mig, ved at lade mig leve; og jeg kan ikke frelse mig paa Bjerget, Ulykken maatte komme paa mig, saa at jeg døde.
20 Behold this city is near for me to escape there, which is a small one, and there shall I be preserved, is it not little? and my soul shall live because of you.
Se, kære, denne Stad er nær ved, den kunde jeg fly til, og den samme er liden; kære, der vil jeg frelse mig, er den ikke liden? at min Sjæl maa leve.
21 And he said to him, Behold, I have had respect to you also about this thing, that I should not overthrow the city about which you have spoken.
Da sagde han til ham: Se, jeg har og bønhørt dig i dette Stykke, at jeg ikke vil omstyrte den Stad, som du har talt om,
22 Hasten therefore to escape there, for I shall not be able to do anything until you are come there; therefore he called the name of that city, Segor.
Skynd dig, red dig der! thi jeg kan intet gøre, før du kommer derhen; derfor kaldes den Stads Navn Zoar.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth, when Lot entered into Segor.
Solen var opgangen over Jorden, og Lot kom til Zoar.
24 And the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.
Herren lod regne over Sodoma og over Gomorra Svovl og Ild, fra Herren af Himmelen.
25 And he overthrew these cities, and all the country round about, and all that lived in the cities, and the plants springing out of the ground.
Og han omstyrtede disse Stæder og den ganske Egn og alle Indbyggerne i Stæderne og Jordens Grøde.
26 And his wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Da saa hans Hustru om bag ham og blev en Saltstøtte.
27 And Abraam rose up early to go to the place, where he had stood before the Lord.
Og Abraham skyndte sig aarle op om Morgenen til Stedet, hvor han havde staaet for Herrens Ansigt.
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.
Og han vendte sit Ansigt til Sodoma og Gomorra og til hele Landet paa Sletten, og han saa, og se, en Røg steg op af Landet som en Røg af en Ovn.
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 lived.
Og det skete, der Gud ødelagde Stæderne paa Sletten, da kom Gud Abraham i Hu, og han lod Lot føre ud midt af Ødelæggelsen, der han omstyrtede de Stæder, som Lot boede udi.
30 And Lot went up out of Segor, and lived in the mountain, he and his two daughters with him, for he feared to dwell in Segor; and he lived in a cave, he and his two daughters with him.
Og Lot gik op fra Zoar og blev paa Bjerget, og begge hans Døtre med ham; thi han frygtede for at blive i Zoar, og han blev i en Hule, han og begge hans Døtre.
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.
Da sagde den førstefødte til den yngste: vor Fader er gammel, og der er ikke en Mand i dette Land, som kan komme til os efter al Jordens Vis.
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.
Kom, lader os give vor Fader Vin at drikke og ligge hos ham, saa faa vi Sæd af vor Fader.
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.
Saa gave de deres Fader Vin at drikke den samme Nat, og den førstefødte gik ind og lagde sig hos sin Fader, og han fornam ikke, der hun lagde sig, eller der hun stod op.
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 you go in and sleep with him, and let us raise up seed of our father.
Og det skete den anden Dag, da sagde den førstefødte til den yngste: se, i Gaar Nat laa jeg hos min Fader, lader os ogsaa i denne Nat give ham Vin at drikke, og gak ind, lig hos ham, at vi kunne faa Sæd af vor Fader.
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.
Saa gave de deres Fader ogsaa i den samme Nat Vin at drikke, saa gjorde den yngste sig rede og laa hos ham, og han fornam ikke, der hun lagde gig, eller der hun stod op.
36 And the two daughters of Lot conceived by their father.
Saa undfik begge Lots Døtre af deres Fader.
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.
Og den førstefødte fødte en Søn, og hun kaldte hans Navn Moab; han er de Moabiters Fader indtil denne Dag.
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.
Og den yngste fødte ogsaa en Søn og kaldte hans Navn Ben-Ammi; han er Ammons Børns Fader indtil denne Dag.
