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,
Malaika wawili wakaja Sodoma jioni, wakati ambao Lutu alikuwa amekaa langoni mwa Sodoma. Lutu akawaona, akainuka kuwalaki, na akainama uso wake chini ardhini.
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.
Akasema, Tafadhari Bwana zangu, nawasihi mgeuke mwende kwenye nyumba ya mtumishi wenu, mlale pale usiku na muoshe miguu yenu. Kisha muamke asubuhi na mapema muondoke.” Nao wakasema, “Hapana, usiku tutalala mjini.”
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.
Lakini akawasihi sana, mwishowe wakaondoka pamoja nae, na wakaingia katika nyumba yake. Akaandaa chakula na kuoka mkate usiotiwa chachu, wakala.
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.
Lakini kabla hawaja lala, wanaume wa mji, wa Sodoma, vijana kwa wazee wakaizunguka nyumba, wanaume wote kutoka kila kona ya mji.
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.
Wakamwita Lutu, na kumwambia, “Wale wanaume walioingia kwako usiku wakowapi? watoe hapa nje waje kwetu, ili tuweze kulala nao.”
6 And Lot went out to them to the porch, and he shut the door after him,
Lutu akatoka nje na akafunga mlango.
7 and said to them, By no means, brethren, do not act villanously.
Akasema, “Nawasihi, ndugu zangu, msitende uovu.
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.
Tazama, nina mabinti wawili ambao hawajawahi kulala na mwanaume yeyote. Nawaomba tafadhari niwalete kwenu, na muwafanyie lolote muonalo kuwa jema machoni penu. Msitende lolote kwa wanaume hawa, kwa kuwa wamekuja chini ya kivuli cha dari yangu.”
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.
Wakasema, “Ondoka hapa!” Wakasema pia, huyu alikuja kukaa hapa kama mgeni, na sasa amekuwa mwamuzi! Sasa tutakushugulilia vibaya wewe kuliko wao.” Wakamsonga sana huyo mtu, huyo Lutu, na wakakaribia kuvunja mlango.
10 And the men stretched forth their hands and drew Lot in to them into the house, and shut the door of the house.
Lakini wale wanaume wakamkamata Lutu na kumweka ndani na wakafunga mlango.
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.
Kisha wale wageni wa Lutu wakawapiga kwa upofu wale wanaume waliokuwa nje ya nyumba, vijana na wazee kwa pamoja, kiasi kwamba wakachoka wakati wakiutafuta mlango.
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.
Basi wale watu wakamwambia Lutu, Je una mtu mwingine yeyote hapa? wakwe zako, wanao na mabinti zako, na yeyote mwingine katika huu mji, ukawatoe hapa.
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.
Kwa kuwa tunakaribia kuiangamiza sehemu hii, kwa sababu mashitaka dhidi yake mbele ya Yahwe yamezidi kiasi kwamba ametutuma kuuangamiza.”
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.
Lutu akatoka na akazungumza na wakwe zake, wanaume ambao walikuwa wamewaposa binti zake, akawambia, “Ondokeni upesi mahali hapa, kwa kuwa Yahwe anakaribia kuuangamiza mji.” Lakini kwa wakwe zake alionekana kuwa anawatania.
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.
Alfajiri, malaika wakamsihi Lutu, wakisema, ondoka, mtwae mkeo na binti zako wawili ambao wako hapa, ili kwamba usipotelee katika adhabu ya mji huu.”
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.
Lakini akakawia-kawia. Kwa hiyo watu wale wakamshika mkono wake, na mkono wa mkewe, na mikono ya binti zake wawili, kwa sababu Yahwe alimhurumia. Wakawatoa nje, na kuwaweka nje ya mji.
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.
Wakisha kuwatoa nje mmoja wa wale watu akasema, “jiponye nafsi yako! usitazame nyuma, au usikae mahali popote kwenye hili bonde. Toroka uende milimani ili kwamba usije ukatoweshwa mbali.”
18 And Lot said to them, I pray, Lord,
Lutu akawambia, “Hapana, tafadhali bwana zangu!
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.
Mtumishi wenu amepata kibali machoni pako, na umenionesha wema ulio mkuu kwa kuokoa maisha yangu, lakini sitaweza kutorokea milimani, kwa sababu mabaya yataniwahi na nitakufa.
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.
Tazama, ule mji pale uko karibu nijisalimishe pale, na ni mdogo. Tafadhari niacheni nikimbilie pale ( Je Siyo mdogo ule?), na maisha yangu yataokolewa.”
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.
Akamwambia, “Sawa, nimekubali ombi hili pia, kwamba sitaangamiza mji ambaoumeutaja.
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.
Harakisha! toroka uende pale, kwa kuwa sitafanya chochote mpaka ufike pale.” kwa hiyo mji ule ukaitwa Soari.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth, when Lot entered into Segor.
Jua lilikuwa limekwisha chomoza juu ya nchi wakati Lutu alipofika Soari.
24 And the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.
Kisha Yahwe akanyesha juu ya Sodoma na Gomora kiberiti na moto toka kwa Yahwe mbinguni.
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.
Akaharibu miji ile, na bonde lote, na vyote vilivyomo katika miji, na mimea iliyo chipua juu ya ardhi.
26 And his wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Lakini mke wa Lutu aliye kuwa nyuma yake, akatazama nyuma, na akawa nguzo ya chumvi.
27 And Abraam rose up early to go to the place, where he had stood before the Lord.
Abraham akaamuka asubuhi na mapema akaenda mahali alipokuwa amesimama mbele ya Yahwe.
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.
Akatazama chini kuelekea Sodoma na Gomora na kuelekea katika nchi yote bondeni. Akaona na tazama, moshi ulikuwauki ukienda juu kutoka chini kama moshi wa tanuru.
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.
Wakati Mungu alipoharibu miji ya bondeni, Mungu akamkumbuka Abraham. Akamtoa Lutu kutoka katika maangamizi alipoangamiza miji ambayo katika hiyo Lutu aliishi.
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.
Lakini Lutu akapanda juu kutoka Soari na kwenda kuishi katika milima akiwa pamoja na binti zake wawili, kwa sababu aliogopa kuishi Soari. Kwa hiyo akaishi pangoni, yeye na binti zake wawili.
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.
Yule wa kwanza akamwambia yule mdogo, “Baba yetu ni mzee, na hakuna mwanaume mahali popote wa kulala na sisi kulingana na desturi ya dunia yote.
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.
Njoo na tumnyweshe baba yetu mvinyo na tulale naye ili kwamba tuendeleze uzao wa baba yetu.”
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.
Kwa hiyo wakamnywesha baba yako mvinyo usiku ule. Kisha yule wa kwanza akaingia na akalala na baba yake; Baba yake hakujua ni wakati gani alikuja kulala, wala wakati alipo amka.
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.
Siku iliyo fuata yule wa kwanza akamwambia mdogowake, “Sikiliza, usiku wa jana nililala na baba yangu. Na tumnyweshe mvinyo usiku wa leo pia, na uingie ukalale naye. Ili kwamba tuendeleze uzao wa baba yetu.”
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.
Kwa hiyo wakamnywesha baba yao mvinyo usiku ule pia, na yule mdogo akaenda na akalala naye. Baba yake hakujua ni wakati gani alilala, wala wakati alipoamka.
36 And the two daughters of Lot conceived by their father.
Basi hao binti wote wawili wa Lutu wakapata mimba kwa baba yao.
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.
Wa kwanza akazaa mwana wa kiume, na akamwita jina lake Moabu. Akawa ndiye baba wa wamoabu hata leo.
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.
Nayule mdogo naye akazaa mwana wa kiume, na akamwita Benami. Huyu ndiye baba wa watu wa Waamoni hata leo.
