< 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,
Na ka haere mai nga anahera tokorua ki Horoma i te ahiahi; a ko Rota i te kuwaha o Horoma e noho ana: a ka kite a Rota i a raua, ka whakatika ki te whakatau i a raua, a ka tuohu tona kanohi ki te whenua;
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.
Ka mea ia, Nana, e oku ariki, peka mai ki te whare o ta korua pononga, ne? ki konei moe ai, horoi ai hoki i o korua waewae, a ka moata ai te maranga, ka haere i ta korua haere. Ka mea raua, Kahore; engari ki te huarahi noa maua moe ai.
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.
Na ka kaha tana tohe ki a raua, a peka atu ana raua ki a ia, haere ana ki tona whare; na ka taka ia i tetahi hakari ma raua, ka tunu hoki i etahi keke rewenakore, a ka kai raua.
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.
Kiano raua i takoto noa, ka karapotia te whare e nga tangata o te pa, e nga tangata o Horoma, e te koroheke, e te taitamariki, e nga tangata katoa o nga wahi katoa:
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.
A ka karanga ratou ki a Rota, ka mea ki a ia, Kei hea aua tangata i haere mai nei ki a koe i te po nei? whakaputaina mai ki a matou, kia mohio ai matou ki a raua.
6 And Lot went out to them to the porch, and he shut the door after him,
Na ka puta atu a Rota ki a ratou ki te kuwaha, me tana tutaki ano i te tatau i muri i a ia.
7 and said to them, By no means, brethren, do not act villanously.
Ka mea, Kaua ra e kino, e oku tuakana.
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.
Nana, tokorua aku tamahine, kahore nei i mohio noa ki te tane, me whakaputa atu raua e ahau ki a koutou, a ma koutou e mea ki enei tangata; he mea hoki ka tae mai nei raua ki te taumarumarutanga iho o toku tuanui.
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.
Ano ra ko ratou, Tu atu. A ka mea ano ratou, I haere mai tenei koroke kotahi ki konei noho ia, a e whai ana kia mana e whakarite tikanga: akuanei tou mate i a matou nui atu i to raua. Na ka aki rawa ratou ki te tangata ra, ki a Rota, a ka whakata ta ki te wahi i te tatau.
10 And the men stretched forth their hands and drew Lot in to them into the house, and shut the door of the house.
Otira ka totoro atu te ringa o aua tangata, a kumea ana a Rota ki a raua ki roto ki te whare, a tutakina ana e raua te tatau.
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.
Na ka whiua e raua nga tangata i te kuwaha o te whare, te iti, te rahi, ki te matapotanga: a ngenge noa ratou i te rapunga i te tatau.
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.
Na ka mea aua tangata ki a Rota, Kahore atu ranei ou tangata i konei? me he hunaonga, he tama ranei au, he tamahine ranei au, tetahi atu mea ranei au i roto i te pa, mauria atu i tenei wahi:
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.
Ka whakangaromia hoki tenei wahi e maua, no te mea kua nui to ratou karanga ki te aroaro o Ihowa; kua tonoa mai hoki maua e Ihowa ki te whakangaro.
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.
Na ka haere a Rota, ka korero ki ana hunaonga: marenatia nei ki ana tamahine, ka mea, Whakatika, haere atu i konei; ka whakangaromia hoki e Ihowa tenei pa. Otiia ki te whakaaro o ana hunaonga i rite ia ki tetahi tangata e hangareka ana.
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.
A, i te huakanga ake o te ata, ka akiaki nga anahera i a Rota, ka mea, Whakatika, haria tau wahine, me enei tamahine tokorua au, kei huna koe i roto i te kino o tenei pa.
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.
Otira i whakaroa ia; na ka hopu aua tangata ki tona ringa, ki te ringa o tana wahine, ki nga ringa o ana tamahine tokorua; he tohu hoki na Ihowa i a ia: a kawea atu ana ia e raua ki waho, ka waiho i waho o te pa.
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.
A ka oti ratou te kawe atu e raua ki waho, ka mea ia, Rere atu kia ora ai koe; kaua e titiro ki muri i a koe, kaua hoki e tu ki tetahi wahi o te mania; rere atu ki te maunga, kei ngaro koe.
18 And Lot said to them, I pray, Lord,
Na ka mea a Rota ki a raua, Kaua ra e pena, e toku Ariki.
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.
Nana, kua manakohia nei tau pononga e koe, kua whakanuia ano e koe tou aroha i whakaputaina nei e koe ki ahau, i a koe i whakaora nei i toku wairua; na e kore e taea e ahau te rere ki te maunga, kei mau ahau i tetahi kino, a ka mate.
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.
Titiro hoki, e tata ana tenei pa hei rerenga atu, he mea nohinohi noa nei: Kia rere ahau ki reira ne? ehara ianei i te mea nohinohi? a ka ora toku wairua.
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.
Ano ra ko ia ki a ia, Na, kua whakaae ano hoki ahau ki tenei meatanga au, kia kaua e huna e ahau tenei pa i korero mai na koe.
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.
Kia hohoro, rere atu ki reira; e kore hoki e taea e ahau tetahi mea, kia tae ra ano koe ki reira. Na reira i huaina ai te ingoa o taua pa ko Toara.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth, when Lot entered into Segor.
Kua rewa te ra ki runga ki te whenua, ka tae a Rota ki Toara.
24 And the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.
Katahi ka uaina e Ihowa ki Horoma, ki Komora, he whanariki, he ahi na Ihowa, no te rangi;
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.
A hurihia iho e ia aua pa, me te mania katoa, me nga tangata katoa o nga pa, me nga mea e tupu ana i te whenua.
26 And his wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Na i titiro tana wahine ki muri i a ia, a meinga ana hei pou tote.
27 And Abraam rose up early to go to the place, where he had stood before the Lord.
A i maranga wawe a Aperahama i te ata ki te wahi i tu ai ia i te aroaro o Ihowa:
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.
Na ko tona tirohanga atu ki te ritenga o Horoma, o Komora, ki te whenua katoa hoki o te mania, ka kite, na, e kake ana te paowa o te whenua, me te mea he paowa oumu.
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.
Na, i te whakangaromanga a Ihowa i nga pa o te mania, ka mahara te Atua ki a Aperahama, a tonoa ana e ia a Rota i roto i te hurihanga i tana hurihanga i nga pa i noho ai a Rota.
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.
Na ka piki atu a Rota i Toara, ka noho ki te maunga, ratou tahi ko ana tamahine tokorua; i wehi hoki ia ki te noho i Toara: a ka noho i roto i tetahi ana, a ia me ana tamahine tokorua.
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.
Na ka mea te tuakana ki to muri, Kua koroheke to taua papa, a kohore he tangata o te whenua hei haere mai ki a taua, hei pera me to te whenua katoa tikanga:
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.
Tena, taua ka whakainu i to taua papa ki te waina, ka takoto ai taua ki a ia, kia tupu ai i a taua tetahi uri mo to taua papa.
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.
Na ka whakainu raua i to raua papa ki te waina i taua po; a ka haere atu te tuakana, ka takoto ki tona papa, kihai hoki tera i mohio ki tona takotoranga iho, ki tona whakatikanga ake.
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.
A i te aonga ake ka mea te tuakana ki to muri, Nana, i takoto ahau inapo ki toku papa: taua ano ka whakainu i a ia ki te waina i tenei po; a mau e haere atu, e takoto ki a ia, kia tupu ai i a taua tetahi uri mo to taua papa.
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.
Na ka whakainu ano raua i to raua papa ki te waina i taua po; a ka whakatika to muri, ka takoto hoki ki a ia: a kihai ia i mohio ki tona takotoranga iho, ki tona whakatikanga ake.
36 And the two daughters of Lot conceived by their father.
Koia ka hapu nga tamahine tokorua a Rota i to raua papa.
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.
A ka whanau ta te tuakana, he tama, a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Moapa: ko ia te papa o nga Moapi, a tae noa ki tenei ra.
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.
Me to muri, whanau ake ano tana, he tama, a huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko Penami: ko ia te papa o nga tama a Amona, a tae noa ki tenei ra.
