< Genesis 19 >

1 And the two Angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting at the gate of the city. And when he had seen them, he rose up and went to meet them. And he reverenced prone on the ground.
Hiche ni nilhah lam in vantil ni ahung lhon in ahile Lot chu Sodom khopi kelkot a anatou pet ahin Lot in vantil teni amu phat chun alamto dingin akipat don in amani masanga tol ah abohkhup'in ahi.
2 And he said: “I beg you, my lords, turn aside to the house of your servant, and lodge there. Wash your feet, and in the morning you will advance on your way.” And they said, “Not at all. But we will lodge in the street.”
Chuin Lot in hitin aseiye, “Ka Pakai hung un ka insunga nakeng hung kisop lhonin, chule tujan kain a geh lhon inlang, jingpi matah in thou lhon in lang na kholche na lhon aban na jom thei lhon ahi,” atile, amanin ahi poi hithei ponte ati lhon in “Keini tujan hiche mun a ong dunga geh mai lhon tange,” ati.
3 He pressed them very much to turn aside to him. And when they had entered his house, he made a feast for them, and he cooked unleavened bread, and they ate.
Hinlah Lot in aha sei behset jeh chun amani jong Lot in lang a geh din ache tauve, hichun Lot in amani neh ding chol kisolou changlhah akanpeh in amani in jong ane lhon tai.
4 But before they went to bed, the men of the city surrounded the house, from boys to old men, all the people together.
Hinlah anehjou don khojin masang chun Sodom khopi sunga khangthah, tehse, kiti jouse ahung kikhom un amaho gena in chu aum kimvel tauvin ahi.
5 And they called out to Lot, and they said to him: “Where are the men who entered to you in the night? Bring them out here, so that we may know them.”
Amaho chun Lot henga asam tauvin “Nangma koma ageh dinga hungho chu hoilam a nakoi hitam? amani chu hinpui doh in amani chutoh ka lupkhom diu ahi tin athum tauve.”
6 Lot went out to them, and blocking the door behind him, he said:
Hichun Lot chu ahung pot doh in amaho toh kihoulim din, anung lam a kot chu akhah in ahi.
7 “Do not, I ask you, my brothers, do not be willing to commit this evil.
“Lungset tah in sopite ho” tin ama atao tan, “Hitobang thilphalou hi bolda uvin.”
8 I have two daughters who as yet have not known man. I will bring them out to you; abuse them as it pleases you, provided that you do no evil to these men, because they have entered under the shadow of my roof.”
Veuvin Keiman chanu nungah thengsel ni kaneiye. Keiman ka chanu teni hin puidoh ing ting nangho koma, amani chu nadei dei a nabol theiyu ahi.
9 But they said, “Move away from there.” And again: “You have entered,” they said, “as a stranger; should you then judge? Therefore, we will afflict you yourself more than them.” And they acted very violently against Lot. And they were now at the point of breaking open the doors.
Hinlah amahon Lot chu “Kinung chen,” ati uvin, chu jongle amahon aseiyun “Hiche pa hi ahung khopem len chule eiho thutanna pang ding akigo vehta! tua amaho (Vantil teni), ki gim bol na ding sanga nangma agilou cheh a kabol ding'u nahi,” atiuve. Hitichun Lot chu hatah in anouvin kotpi jong chu phutjal ding in ahin go tauve.
10 And behold, the men put out their hand, and they pulled Lot in to them, and they closed the door.
Hichun vantil teni chun Lot chu akhut na aman lhon in akailut lhonin insunga kot chu akhah tauve.
11 And they struck those who were outside with blindness, from the least to the greatest, so that they were not able to find the door.
Hichun vantil teni chun kotpi phunga miho chu ateh jong akhangthah jong abonchauvin amit'u achosah lhon in ahile abonchauvin kotphung holmon akisu lungdong gam tauve.
12 Then they said to Lot: “Do you have here anyone of yours? All who are yours, sons-in-law, or sons, or daughters, bring them out of this city.
Phat chomkhat jou vin vantil teni chun Lot jah a hitin asei lhon e, “Hiche khopi a hi sopi ule nao adang nanei nahlai em? na chanu jipa ho hihen, na chapate hihen, na chanu ho hihen lang koi dang dang hi jong le hiche khopi sunga nangma mi poupou chu abonchauvin hiche mun akon hin pui dohtan.”
13 For we will eliminate this place, because the outcry among them has increased before the Lord, who sent us to destroy them.”
Ajeh chu hiche khopi hi pumsuh mang ding kati lhon ahi tai. Awgin hung kithong hi aphatmo na alen lheh tan Pathen kom ahin pha tai, chujeh a chu keini hi asumang dia eihin sol lhon ahi.
14 And so Lot, going out, spoke to his sons-in-law, who were going to receive his daughters, and he said: “Rise up. Depart from this place. For the Lord will destroy this city.” And it seemed to them that he was speaking playfully.
Hijeh chun Lot chu apot doh in achanute ni jipa ding teni jah a chun, “Kinloi tah in hiche khopi akon hin potdoh loi lhon in, ajeh chu Pakaiyin hiche khopi asuhmang ding ahi tai,” aga ti leh, achanu teni jipa ding teni chun a tot dan in ana gel lhon e.
15 And when it was morning, the Angels compelled him, saying, “Arise, take your wife, and the two daughters that you have, lest you also should perish amid the wickedness of the city.”
Kho ahung vahlhah a jingkah chun vantil teni chu ahung kino lheh lhon tan, “Gang in Lot,” tin asei peh lhon e, “na jinu chule na chanute pui doh in hikom akon in pot doh'in tutu hin achuti louleh nangma hiche khopi toh'in suhmang tha a na um ding ahiye,” ati lhon e.
16 And, since he ignored them, they took his hand, and the hand of his wife, as well as that of his two daughters, because the Lord was sparing him.
Lot chu akhongai na laiyin, vantil teni chun ama khut, ajinu khut, chule achanute ni khut na aman lhon in khopi pam lam ah ajamdohpi lhon in ahi, ajeh chu Pathen in amaho angailut lheh jeng in ahi.
17 And they brought him out, and placed him beyond the city. And there they spoke to him, saying: “Save your life. Do not look back. Neither should you stay in the entire surrounding region. But save yourself in the mountain, lest you also should perish.”
Amaho khopi pam langa ahin puidoh lhon phat in Vantil teni in thu amop in “Naki hinso thei na dingu vin jam dohloi jin hung jong hung kinung hei hih uvin phaicham dunga jong bangpa hihhel uvin, thinglhang lam'a jam doh loiyun achuti louleh nangma jong suhmanga na um tha khah ding ahi,” ati peh lhon e.
18 And Lot said to them: “I beg you, my lord,
Hichun Lot chun amani jah'a “Ahipoi ka Pakai,” atin!
19 though your servant has found grace before you, and you have magnified your mercy, which you have shown to me in saving my life, I cannot be saved on the mountain, lest perhaps some misfortune take hold of me and I die.
Nangman neina ngailu lheh in chule ka hinkho jong neina huhdoh in chukeo hilouvin ngailut na sangtah jong nei musah in, Hinlah molsang langa kache jou lou ding ahiye, thinan eiphah lo ding ahi, ka hinkho kichai ding ahi.
20 There is a certain city nearby, to which I can flee; it is a little one, and I will be saved in it. Is it not a modest one, and will not my soul live?”
Vetem in khoneo phai-cham khat muthei in aum'e, jamlut nading in abailam in chule naicha bou ahi; ka kihinso na ding in lungsettah in hikom a khun nei jamlut sah tan,” ati.
21 And he said to him: “Behold, even now, I have heard your petitions about this, not to overturn the city on behalf of which you have spoken.
Vantil in adonbut in “aphai tua nasei jong hi nanop peh ingting, chule keiman hiche phaicham gam'a um khopi nasei jong khu sumangda tange.
22 Hurry and be saved there. For I cannot do anything until you enter there.” For this reason, the name of that city is called Zoar.
Ahin kino gang un, jamdoh loijun, Ajeh chu keiman ima ka bolthei lou ding nangma ho khulam na lhun kahseu vin,” (Hiche in avetsah ahil chet chu khopi min chu Zoar kiti ahin hiche chu ahile khomun neocha tina ahi).
23 The sun had risen over the land, and Lot had entered into Zoar.
Lot Zoar mun agah lhun chun jingkah nisa hungso doh jou tah ahi.
24 Therefore, the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah sulphur and fire, from the Lord, out of heaven.
Hichun Pathen in vanthamjolla konin meikong chule hui thanei thina thei akongthei hui Sodom le Gomorrah chunga ajuh sah tai.
25 And he overturned these cities, and all the surrounding region: all the inhabitants of the cities, and everything that springs from the land.
Chule Pathen in khopi teni jong, phaicham geiya akhopi teni sunga cheng jouse ahin, tolla kehdoh thingna louna abonchan asugam hel tai.
26 And his wife, looking behind herself, was turned into a statue of salt.
Hinlah Lot Inneipi chu aki nunghei jin anunglam agah vet leh chiphung asoh in khom bang in akitung den tai.
27 Then Abraham, rising up in the morning, in the place where he had stood before with the Lord,
Chule Abraham chu ajing jingkah matah in ache loijin Pakai angsunga adinna mun a chun ading in,
28 looked out toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and the entire land of that region. And he saw embers rising up from the land like smoke from a furnace.
Sodom le Gomorrah lam gam chu agah vesuh in ahile, vetan agam meikhu pi chu meihol kilhut bang in akhu akitung doh jen jun jeng chu amu tan ahi.
29 For when God overthrew the cities of that region, remembering Abraham, he freed Lot from the overthrow of the cities, in which he had dwelt.
Hinlah Pathen in Abraham taona ageldoh in hijeh chun asopipa Lot chu phaicham khopi asuhmang masang in apuidoh in, chujou vin Lot chenna khopi teni chu a sumang tai.
30 And Lot ascended from Zoar, and he stayed on the mountain, and likewise his two daughters with him, (for he was afraid to stay in Zoar) and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters with him.
Chuin phat chomkhat jouvin Lot le achanu te nin Zoar mun chu adalha uvin, thinglhang lam ajon in, songko sung khat a achanute ni chu toh'a cheng khom tauve.
31 And the elder said to the younger: “Our father is old, and no man remains in the land who can enter to us according to the custom of the whole world.
Nikhat chu Lot chanu teni alenjo nu chun anao nu kom a hitin aseiye “Hikom gamsunga pasal gollhang aum tapoi midangho banga ji enei lhon lou ding ahi tai. Chuleh eihing hon ipa jong hungvoija ateh lang ahi tan, cha aneilou ding ahi tai.
32 Come, let us inebriate him with wine, and let us sleep with him, so that we may be able to preserve offspring from our father.”
Hung in ipa hi khamna thei donsah hitin, akham teng iki timatpi lhon ding ahiye, hiche akona chu eiho insung hi ipa akon a chilhah inei doh lhon ding ahibou e,” ati.
33 And so they gave their father wine to drink that night. And the elder went in, and she slept with her father. But he did not perceive it, neither when his daughter lay down, nor when she rose up.
Hichun amanin hiche jan chun apa lengpi twi akham sah lhonin, chuin alenjo nu chu asunglhan apa to aga kiti mat lhon tan ahin apa chun achanu aluppet jong atho doh pet jong ahepoi.
34 Likewise, the next day, the elder said to the younger: “Behold, yesterday I slept with my father, let us give him wine to drink yet again this night, and you will sleep with him, so that we may save offspring from our father.”
Ajing ni chun alenjo nun anaonu kom ah hitin aseiye, “Keima janlhah chun ipa to kaki timat ka lum lhon tai, tujan jong lengpi twija khamsah hitin, tujan teng nangma gache in lang ga ki timatpi in hiche akona eiho chilhah hi ipa a kona bou ikisem doh thei ding bou ahi,” ati.
35 And then they gave their father wine to drink that night also, and the younger daughter went in, and slept with him. And not even then did he perceive when she lay down, or when she rose up.
Hiche jan chun amanin apa lhon lengpi twi adonkham sah lhon in chuin aneojo nu aga sunglha kit in apa to aga ki timat lhon kit tan, amasa abang chun achanu aneonu ahung lup pet akitho dohpet jong ahepoi.
36 Therefore, the two daughters of Lot conceived by their father.
Hiche jeh chun Lot chanute ni'n apa akon in nao ahin vop gel lhon tan ahi.
37 And the elder gave birth to a son, and she called his name Moab. He is the father of the Moabites, even to the present day.
Achanu alenjo nu chun nao pasal khat ahing tan amin chu Moab asah tai, amapa chu nam khat ahung hitan tua Moab mite kiti hohi ahiuve.
38 Likewise, the younger gave birth to a son, and she called his name Ammon, that is, ‘the son of my people.’ He is the father of the Ammonites, even today.
Aneojo nun nao pasal khat ahing kit in, amanun achapa min chu Ben-ammi asah tai. Amahi nam khat mipa lamka ahung hin tua Ammon mite hohi ahiuve.
