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.
De to Engle kom nu til Sodoma ved Aftenstid. Lot sad i Sodomas Port, og da han fik Øje på dem, stod han op og gik dem i Møde, bøjede sig til Jorden
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.”
og sagde: "Kære Herrer, tag dog ind og overnat i eders Træls Hus og tvæt eders Fødder; i Morgen tidlig kan I drage videre!" Men de sagde: "Nej, vi vil overnatte på Gaden."
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.
Da nødte han dem stærkt, og de tog ind i hans Hus; derpå tilberedte han dem et Måltid og bagte usyrede Kager, og de spiste.
4 But before they went to bed, the men of the city surrounded the house, from boys to old men, all the people together.
Men endnu før de havde lagt sig, stimlede Byens Folk, Indbyggerne i Sodoma, sammen omkring Huset, både gamle og unge, alle uden Undtagelse,
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.”
og de råbte til Lot: "Hvor er de Mænd, der kom til dig i Nat Kom herud med dem, for at vi kan stille vor Lyst på dem!"
6 Lot went out to them, and blocking the door behind him, he said:
Da gik Lot ud til dem i Porten, men Døren lukkede han efter sig.
7 “Do not, I ask you, my brothers, do not be willing to commit this evil.
Og han sagde: "Gør dog ikke noget ondt, mine Brødre!
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.”
Se, jeg har to Døtre, der ikke har kendt Mand; dem vil jeg bringe ud til eder, og med dem kan I gøre, hvad I lyster; men disse Mænd må I ikke gøre noget, siden de nu engang er kommet ind under mit Tags Skygge!"
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.
Men de sagde: "Bort med dig! Her er den ene Mand kommet og bor som fremmed, og nu vil han spille Dommer! Kom, lad os handle værre med ham end med dem!" Og de trængte ind på Manden, på Lot, og nærmede sig Døren for at sprænge den.
10 And behold, the men put out their hand, and they pulled Lot in to them, and they closed the door.
Da rakte Mændene Hånden ud og trak Lot ind til sig og lukkede Døren;
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.
men Mændene uden for Porten til Huset slog de med Blindhed, både store og små, så de forgæves søgte at finde Porten.
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.
Derpå sagde Mændene til Lot: "Hvem der ellers hører dig til her, dine Svigersønner, dine Sønner og Døtre, alle, som hører dig til i Byen, må du føre bort fra dette Sted;
13 For we will eliminate this place, because the outcry among them has increased before the Lord, who sent us to destroy them.”
thi vi står i Begreb med at ødelægge Stedet her, fordi Skriget over dem er blevet så stort for HERREN, at HERREN har sendt os for at ødelægge dem."
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.
Da gik Lot ud og sagde til sine Svigersønner, der skulde ægte hans Døtre: "Stå op, gå bort herfra, thi HERREN vil ødelægge Byen!" Men hans Svigersønner troede, at han drev Spøg med dem.
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.”
Da Morgenen så gryede, skyndede Englene på Lot og sagde: "Tag din Hustru og dine to Døtre, som bor hos dig, og drag bort, for at du ikke skal rives bort ved Byens Syndeslkyld!"
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.
Og da han tøvede, greb Mændene ham, hans Hustru og hans to Døtre ved Hånden, thi HERREN vilde skåne ham, og de førte ham bort og bragte ham i Sikkerhed uden for Byen.
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.”
Og idet de førte dem uden for Byen, sagde de: "Det gælder dit Liv! Se dig ikke tilbage og stands ikke nogensteds i Jordanegnen, men red dig op i Bjergene, for at du ikke skal omkomme!"
18 And Lot said to them: “I beg you, my lord,
Men Lot sagde til dem: "Ak nej, Herre!
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.
Din Træl har jo fundet Nåde for dine Øjne, og du har vist mig stor Godhed og frelst mit Liv; men jeg kan ikke nå op i Bjergene og undfly Ulykken; den indhenter mig så jeg mister Livet.
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?”
Se, den By der er nær nok til at jeg kan flygte derhen; den betyder jo ikke stort, lad mig redde mig derhen, den betyder jo ikke stort, og mit Liv er frelst!"
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.
Da svarede han: "Også i det Stykke har jeg bønhørt dig; jeg vil ikke ødelægge den By, du nævner;
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.
men red dig hurtigt derhen, thi jeg kan intet gøre, før du når derhen!" Derfor kaldte man Byen Zoar.
23 The sun had risen over the land, and Lot had entered into Zoar.
Da Solen steg op over Landet og Lot var nået til Zoar,
24 Therefore, the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah sulphur and fire, from the Lord, out of heaven.
lod HERREN Svovl og Ild regne over Sodoma og Gomorra fra HERREN, fra Himmelen;
25 And he overturned these cities, and all the surrounding region: all the inhabitants of the cities, and everything that springs from the land.
og han ødelagde disse Byer og hele Jordanegnen og alle Byernes Indbyggere og Landets Afgrøde.
26 And his wife, looking behind herself, was turned into a statue of salt.
Men hans Hustru, som gik efter ham, så sig tilbage og blev til en Saltstøtte.
27 Then Abraham, rising up in the morning, in the place where he had stood before with the Lord,
Næste Morgen, da Abraham gik hen til det Sted, hvor han havde stået hos HERREN,
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.
og vendte sit Blik mod Sodoma og Gomorra og hele Jordanegnen. så han Røg stige til Vejrs fra Landet som Røgen fra en Smelteovn.
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.
Da Gud tilintetgjorde Jordanegnens Byer, kom han Abraham i Hu og førte Lot ud af Ødelæggelsen, som han lod komme over de Byer, Lot boede i.
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.
Men Lot drog op fra Zoar og slog sig ned i Bjergene med sine Døtre, thi han turde ikke blive i Zoar; og han boede i en Hule med sine to Døtre.
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.
Da sagde den ældste til den yngste: "Vor Fader er gammel, og der findes ingen Mænd her i Landet, som kunde komme til os på vanlig Vis.
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.”
Kom, lad os give vor Fader Vin at drikke og ligge hos ham for at få Afkom ved vor Fader!"
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.
De gav ham da Vin at drikke samme Nat; og den ældste lagde sig hos sin Fader, og han sansede hverken, at hun lagde sig, eller at hun stod op.
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.”
Næste Dag sagde den ældste til den yngste: "Jeg lå i Går Nat hos min Fader; nu vil vi også give ham Vin at drikke i Nat, og gå du så ind og læg dig hos ham, for at vi kan få Afkom ved vor Fader!"
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.
Så gav de atter den Nat deres Fader Vin at drikke, og den yngste lagde sig hos ham, og han sansede hverken, at hun lagde sig, eller at hun stod op.
36 Therefore, the two daughters of Lot conceived by their father.
Således blev begge Lots Døtre frugtsommelige ved deres Fader;
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.
og den ældste fødte en Søn, som hun kaldte Moab; han er Moabs Stamfader den Dag i Dag.
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.
Ligeså fødte den yngste en Søn, som hun kaldte Ben Ammi; han er Ammoniternes Stamfader den Dag i Dag.
