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.
Ketika hari petang, kedua orang tadi— yang ternyata adalah malaikat— tiba di kota Sodom. Saat itu, Lot sedang duduk di pintu gerbang kota. Melihat mereka, dia bangkit menyambut dan bersujud untuk menghormati mereka.
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.”
Kata Lot kepada dua orang itu, “Tuan-tuan, silakan menginap di rumah saya malam ini. Kalian bisa mencuci kaki, dan besok kalian dapat melanjutkan perjalanan.” Jawab mereka, “Tidak. Kami akan bermalam di luar saja, di alun-alun kota.”
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.
Tetapi Lot terus mendesak mereka supaya mau menginap di rumahnya. Akhirnya mereka pun masuk ke rumah Lot, dan Lot menyiapkan makanan untuk mereka. Dia memanggang roti tanpa ragi, lalu mereka memakannya.
4 But before they went to bed, the men of the city surrounded the house, from boys to old men, all the people together.
Sebelum mereka pergi tidur, semua laki-laki dari seluruh penjuru kota Sodom, tua maupun muda, datang mengepung rumah Lot.
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.”
Mereka berteriak-teriak kepada Lot, “Di mana kedua orang yang menginap di rumahmu malam ini? Bawa mereka keluar, supaya kami bisa bersetubuh dengan mereka!”
6 Lot went out to them, and blocking the door behind him, he said:
Kemudian Lot keluar dari dalam rumah dan menutup pintu di belakangnya supaya mereka tidak bisa masuk.
7 “Do not, I ask you, my brothers, do not be willing to commit this evil.
Katanya kepada mereka, “Saudara-saudaraku, janganlah berbuat jahat seperti itu!
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.”
Mohon dengarkan saya! Saya punya dua anak perempuan yang masih perawan. Biarlah saya membawa mereka keluar untuk kalian sekarang, dan kalian boleh melakukan apa saja yang kalian mau kepada mereka. Tetapi jangan lakukan apa pun terhadap kedua laki-laki itu. Mereka adalah tamu di rumah saya, maka saya harus melindungi mereka!”
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.
Tetapi orang-orang itu menjawab, “Berani-beraninya kamu mengatur kami! Kamu hanya pendatang di sini. Menyingkirlah dari situ! Kalau tidak, kami akan melakukan yang lebih buruk kepadamu daripada yang akan kami lakukan terhadap kedua orang itu!” Kemudian mereka menyerbu ke arah Lot hendak mendobrak pintu.
10 And behold, the men put out their hand, and they pulled Lot in to them, and they closed the door.
Tetapi kedua malaikat itu membuka pintu dengan cepat dan menarik Lot masuk ke rumah, lalu langsung menutup pintu itu kembali.
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.
Dua malaikat itu membuat semua orang yang berdiri di luar menjadi buta, baik yang tua maupun yang muda, sehingga mereka tidak dapat menemukan pintunya.
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.
Lalu malaikat-malaikat itu berkata kepada Lot, “Siapa lagi keluargamu yang tinggal di kota ini? Kalau kamu memiliki anak laki-laki, anak perempuan, menantu, ataupun sanak saudara lainnya, bawalah mereka keluar dari kota ini!
13 For we will eliminate this place, because the outcry among them has increased before the Lord, who sent us to destroy them.”
Kami diutus TUHAN untuk menghancurkan tempat ini, karena berdasarkan keluhan-keluhan yang didengar TUHAN, penduduk kota ini sudah jahat sekali.”
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.
Maka pergilah Lot menemui kedua calon menantunya dan berkata, “Cepat! Keluar dari kota ini, karena TUHAN akan segera menghancurkannya!” Namun, mereka menganggap Lot sedang bercanda.
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.”
Menjelang fajar, kedua malaikat itu mendesak Lot agar bergegas, “Cepatlah! Bawa istrimu dan kedua anak gadismu pergi dari sini! Kalau tidak, kalian akan ikut mati waktu kami menghancurkan kota ini!”
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.
Ketika Lot belum bergerak juga, kedua malaikat itu langsung memegang tangannya dan tangan istrinya serta kedua anak gadisnya, lalu menarik mereka keluar dari kota itu dengan aman. Para malaikat melakukan itu karena TUHAN berbelas kasih kepada Lot dan keluarganya.
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.”
Sesampainya mereka di luar kota, salah satu malaikat itu berkata, “Larilah untuk menyelamatkan nyawamu! Jangan menoleh ke belakang! Jangan berhenti di lembah! Larilah ke daerah perbukitan supaya kalian tidak mati!”
18 And Lot said to them: “I beg you, my lord,
Tetapi kata Lot kepada mereka, “Aduh, jangan begitu, Tuan-tuanku!
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.
Tuan sudah sangat berbaik hati dengan menyelamatkan nyawa saya. Tetapi daerah perbukitan itu terlalu jauh! Kalau saya berusaha lari ke sana, saya akan mati sebelum sampai.
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?”
Tetapi lihat, di sebelah situ ada kampung yang cukup dekat dari sini. Izinkanlah kami pergi ke kampung kecil itu supaya kami selamat.”
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.
Salah satu malaikat itu berkata, “Baiklah, saya mengabulkan permintaanmu. Saya tidak akan menghancurkan kampung kecil itu.
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.
Tetapi cepat! Larilah ke sana, karena saya tidak bisa mulai menjatuhkan hukuman sebelum kalian sampai di sana.” Sesudah peristiwa ini, kampung tersebut dinamai Zoar, karena Lot mengatakan bahwa kampung itu kecil.
23 The sun had risen over the land, and Lot had entered into Zoar.
Lot dan keluarganya tiba di kampung yang sekarang dinamai Zoar itu sesudah matahari terbit.
24 Therefore, the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah sulphur and fire, from the Lord, out of heaven.
Kemudian TUHAN menjatuhkan api dan belerang ke atas Sodom dan Gomora, seperti hujan dari langit.
25 And he overturned these cities, and all the surrounding region: all the inhabitants of the cities, and everything that springs from the land.
Demikianlah TUHAN menghancurkan kedua kota itu dan semua penduduk di dalamnya. Dia juga menghancurkan segala sesuatu yang ada di lembah itu, termasuk seluruh tumbuhan.
26 And his wife, looking behind herself, was turned into a statue of salt.
Namun, istri Lot berhenti di tengah jalan dan menoleh ke belakang, maka dia mati dan menjadi tiang garam.
27 Then Abraham, rising up in the morning, in the place where he had stood before with the Lord,
Pagi itu, Abraham bangun dan segera pergi ke tempat dia bercakap-cakap dengan TUHAN kemarin.
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.
Saat memandang ke arah Sodom dan Gomora, dia melihat seluruh lembah itu berasap tebal, seperti asap dari tungku yang sangat besar.
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.
Jadi, TUHAN mengingat permintaan Abraham ketika Dia memusnahkan kota-kota di lembah itu. Itulah sebabnya Lot diselamatkan dari bencana yang terjadi di sana.
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.
Lot takut untuk tinggal di Zoar, maka dia meninggalkan kampung itu dan pindah ke gunung bersama kedua anak gadisnya. Di sana, mereka tinggal di sebuah gua.
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.
Suatu hari, anak gadis Lot yang sulung berkata kepada adiknya, “Aduh, dengan siapa kita akan menikah di tempat yang sunyi ini! Tidak ada lagi laki-laki. Ayah kita sudah terlalu tua untuk mengurus pernikahan seperti yang dilakukan di daerah-daerah lain.
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.”
Mari kita membuat ayah kita mabuk dengan minum anggur sehingga dia tidak sadar, lalu kita bisa bersetubuh dengannya. Dengan cara inilah kita dapat menyambung keturunan keluarga kita.”
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.
Malam itu, mereka berhasil membuat Lot mabuk. Lalu anak gadis yang sulung masuk dan bersetubuh dengan ayahnya. Lot tidak tahu apa-apa karena dia sudah terlalu mabuk.
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.”
Keesokan harinya, anak gadis Lot yang sulung itu berkata lagi kepada adiknya, “Tadi malam aku sudah tidur dengan ayah kita! Nanti malam, kita buat dia mabuk lagi. Lalu kamu tidurlah dengannya, supaya kita masing-masing mendapat anak.”
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.
Maka malam itu mereka membuat Lot mabuk lagi, kemudian anak gadis yang bungsu juga bersetubuh dengan ayahnya. Kali ini pun Lot terlalu mabuk sehingga dia tidak tahu apa yang terjadi.
36 Therefore, the two daughters of Lot conceived by their father.
Dengan demikian, kedua anak gadis Lot hamil dari ayah mereka.
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.
Kakaknya melahirkan anak laki-laki yang dia namai Moab. Anak ini menjadi nenek moyang dari bangsa Moab.
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.
Adiknya melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki juga, yang dia namai Ben Ami. Dialah yang menjadi nenek moyang dari bangsa Amon.
