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 zanj Bondye yo rive Sodòm nan aswè. Lòt te chita bò pòtay lavil la. Wè li wè yo, li leve, li al kontre yo. Li bese tèt li jouk atè pou l' di yo bonjou.
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.”
Li di. Mesye, mwen la pou m' sèvi nou. Tanpri, vin lakay mwen. n'a ka lave pye nou, n'a pase nwit la la. Denmen maten, n'a leve, n'a reprann wout nou. Mesye yo reponn. Non. Nou pral pase nwit la sou laplas la.
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.
Men Lòt te fòse yo sitèlman, y' al lakay li avè l'. Lòt pare yon bon manje pou yo, li fè pen san ledven. Epi yo manje.
4 But before they went to bed, the men of the city surrounded the house, from boys to old men, all the people together.
Yo pa t' ankò kouche, lè mesye lavil Sodòm yo, jenn gason kou vye tonton, sènen kay la. tout gason nan lavil la te kouri vini.
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.”
Yo rele Lòt, yo di l' konsa. Kote mesye ki vin pase nwit lakay ou aswè a? Fè yo soti vin jwenn nou pou nou kouche ak yo?
6 Lot went out to them, and blocking the door behind him, he said:
Lòt soti al jwenn yo nan papòt la. Li fèmen pòt la dèyè do l',
7 “Do not, I ask you, my brothers, do not be willing to commit this evil.
li di yo konsa Tanpri, mezanmi. Pa fè bagay sal sa a.
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.”
Gade, mwen gen de pitit fi ki tifi toujou, m'ap mennen yo ban nou. Nou mèt fè sa nou vle avèk yo. Men, pa fè mesye sa yo anyen, paske mwen resevwa yo lakay mwen, mwen fèt pou m' pwoteje yo.
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, yo di. Wete kò ou la. Se moun vini ou ye! Kisa ou ye atò pou ou vin di nou sa pou nou fè. Sispann fè radòt la a, anvan nou pa fè ou pi mal pase yo. Sa ou tande a, yo bourade Lòt, epi yo pwoche pou yo defonse pòt la.
10 And behold, the men put out their hand, and they pulled Lot in to them, and they closed the door.
Men, de mesye yo ki te anndan an lonje men yo, yo rale Lòt antre anndan, epi yo fèmen pòt la.
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.
Lèfini, yo vegle tout mesye ki te devan pòt kay la, depi pi piti a jouk pi gran an. Se konsa mesye yo t'ap vire tounen adwat agoch, yo pa t' kapab jwenn kote pòt kay la te ye.
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.
De mesye yo pale ak Lòt, yo di l' konsa. Ki moun ankò ou gen nan lavil la? Pran bofi ou yo, pitit gason ou yo, ak pitit fi ou yo ansanm ak tout bagay ou gen nan lavil la, mete kò ou deyò.
13 For we will eliminate this place, because the outcry among them has increased before the Lord, who sent us to destroy them.”
Nou pral detwi tout bò isit la. Seyè a te tande tout sa yo t'ap di sou moun lavil sa a. Li voye nou detwi l'.
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.
Lòt soti, li al jwenn mari pitit fi li yo, li di yo. Leve non, fè vit, ann met deyò. Seyè a pral detwi lavil la. Men bofi li yo te kwè se jwe li t'ap jwe.
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.”
Kou jou pral kase, zanj Bondye yo leve Lòt pou l' fè vit. Yo di l'. Fè vit non, monchè! Pran madanm ou ak de pitit fi ou yo, met deyò. Si se pa sa, n'ap mouri tout lè Bondye ap pini lavil la.
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.
Lè yo wè Lòt t'ap kalbende, yo pran men li, yo pran men madanm li ansanm ak de pitit fi li yo, yo mennen yo andeyò lavil la, yo lage yo. Yo te fè sa, paske Seyè a te gen pitye pou Lòt.
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.”
Apre zanj yo te fin fè yo soti nan lavil la, yo di l'. Sove poul ou, si ou pa vle mouri. Pa gad dèyè. Pa rete menm nan plenn lan. Kouri al nan mòn yo pou ou pa pase tou.
18 And Lot said to them: “I beg you, my lord,
Men, Lòt reponn li. O! Non, Mèt. Tanpri, pa mande m' tout sa.
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.
Gade, ou deja fè m' yon gwo favè. Ou moutre m' jan ou gen pitye anpil pou mwen. Ou sove lavi m'. Men, mòn lan twò lwen. m'a mouri anvan m' rive, malè a va gen tan rive sou mwen.
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?”
Gade: ou wè ti bouk sa a? Li toupre. m'a gen tan rive la pou m' kache kò mwen. Tanpri, kite m' ale la. Ou wè se yon ti kote ki tout piti. Konsa m'a sove lavi m'.
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.
Zanj lan di l'. Dakò, Mwen fè ou favè sa a ankò: mwen p'ap detwi ti bouk w'ap pale m' lan.
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.
Kouri vit ale. Mwen p'ap ka fè anyen toutotan ou poko rive la. Se poutèt sa yo rele ti bouk la Zoa.
23 The sun had risen over the land, and Lot had entered into Zoar.
Solèy te fèk ap leve lè Lòt rive Zoa.
24 Therefore, the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah sulphur and fire, from the Lord, out of heaven.
Lè sa a, Seyè a fè yon sèl lapli souf ak dife soti nan syèl la tonbe sou Sodòm ak Gomò. Wi, se Seyè a menm ki te fè sa.
25 And he overturned these cities, and all the surrounding region: all the inhabitants of the cities, and everything that springs from the land.
Li detwi de lavil sa yo ak tout plenn lan ansanm ak tout moun ki te rete nan lavil yo ak tout plant ki t'ap pouse nan tè a.
26 And his wife, looking behind herself, was turned into a statue of salt.
Men, madan Lòt vire gade dèyè. Lamenm li tounen yon gwo estati sèl.
27 Then Abraham, rising up in the morning, in the place where he had stood before with the Lord,
Nan granmaten, Abraram leve, li ale kote li te kanpe ap pale ak Seyè a.
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.
Li voye je l' bò Sodòm ak Gomò, li wè tout plenn lan. Epi li rete konsa li wè gwo lafimen ap moute soti nan tè a tankou lafimen k'ap leve nan yon gwo founo dife.
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.
Se konsa, lè Bondye t'ap detwi lavil yo nan plenn lan, li chonje Abraram. Li fè Lòt chape anba malè li tapral lage sou lavil kote li te rete a.
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 Lòt te pè rete nan bouk Zoa a. Se konsa, li menm ak de pitit li yo, yo soti Zoa, yo moute, y al rete nan mòn yo. Yo fè kay yo nan yon gwo twou wòch.
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.
Pi gran fi a di pi piti a. Papa nou ap fin granmoun. Pa gen gason nan peyi a pou marye ak nou pou nou ka fè pitit jan sa fèt toupatou.
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.”
Vini non. Annou fè papa bwè diven jouk li sou. Apre sa, n'a kouche avè l'. Konsa, n'a fè pitit pou papa nou.
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.
Menm jou sa a, lè aswè rive, yo fè papa yo bwè diven jouk li sou. Pi gran fi a kouche ak papa l'. Men, papa a te sitèlman sou, li pa t' konn anyen.
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.”
Nan denmen, pi gran an di pi piti a. Yèswa, mwen te kouche ak papa m'. Aswè a se tout pa ou: N'ap fè l' bwè diven ankò jouk li sou. Epi w'a al kouche avè l', pou nou de nou kapab fè pitit pou papa nou.
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.
Se konsa, lè aswè rive, yo fè papa a bwè diven ankò jouk li sou. Epi pi piti a kouche avè l'. Men, fwa sa a ankò, Lòt pa t' konnen anyen.
36 Therefore, the two daughters of Lot conceived by their father.
Se konsa de pitit fi Lòt yo vin ansent pou papa yo.
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.
Pi gran an fè yon pitit gason, li rele l' Moab. Se li menm ki zansèt moun Moab yo ki la jouk koulye a.
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.
Pi piti a tout fè yon pitit gason. Li rele l' Bennami. Se li menm ki zansèt moun Amon yo ki la jouk jòdi a.
