Genesis 19
1 And the two angels came to Sodom at even. And Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. And Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them; and he bowed down, the face toward the ground,
Nao araika acio eerĩ magĩkinya Sodomu hwaĩ-inĩ, nake Loti aikarĩte kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩu inene. Rĩrĩa aamoonire-rĩ, agĩũkĩra nĩguo amatũnge, na agĩturumithia ũthiũ wake thĩ.
2 and he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and lodge, and wash your feet; and ye shall rise up early, and go on your way. And they said, No; but we will pass the night in the open place.
Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Aathi akwa, ndamũthaitha ũkai mũtoonye nyũmba ya ndungata yanyu. No mwĩthambe magũrũ na mũraarĩrĩre, na rũciinĩ tene mũrooke gũthiĩ na mbere na rũgendo rwanyu.” No-o makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Aca, ithuĩ tũkũraara nja kĩhaaro-inĩ.”
3 And he urged them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house. And he made them a repast, and baked unleavened cakes; and they ate.
Nowe Loti akĩmaringĩrĩria na hinya mũno mathiĩ gwake mũciĩ, nginya magĩtĩkĩra. Magĩthiĩ nake, magĩtoonya nyũmba gwake. Nake akĩmathondekera irio, akĩruga mĩgate ĩtaarĩ ndawa ya kũimbia, nao makĩrĩa.
4 Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, from the youngest to the oldest — all the people from every quarter.
Matanathiĩ gũkoma-rĩ, arũme othe a kuuma ituri ciothe cia itũũra rĩu rĩa Sodomu, arĩa ethĩ na arĩa akũrũ, makĩrigiicĩria nyũmba ya Loti.
5 And they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men that have come in to thee to-night? bring them out to us that we may know them.
Nao magĩĩta Loti, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa mookire gwaku ũtukũ ũyũ-rĩ, marĩ-kũ? Marehe na gũkũ nja, tũkome nao.”
6 And Lot went out to them to the entrance, and shut the door after him,
Loti akiuma na nja amatũnge, na akĩhinga mũrango,
7 and said, I pray you, my brethren, do not wickedly!
akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Aca, arata akwa; mũtigeke ũndũ ũcio wa waganu.
8 Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known a man: let me now bring them out to you; and do to them as is good in your sight: only, to these men do nothing; for therefore have they come under the shadow of my roof.
Atĩrĩrĩ, ndĩ na airĩtu akwa eerĩ matarĩ maakoma na mũndũ mũrũme. Rekei ndĩmarehe na gũkũ nja, na inyuĩ mwĩke o ũrĩa mũkwenda nao. No mũtigeke ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ kũrĩ andũ aya, tondũ mokĩte gwakwa na no nginya ndĩmagitĩre.”
9 And they said, Back there! And they said [again], This one came to sojourn, and he must be a judge? Now we will deal worse with thee than with them. And they pressed hard on the man — on Lot; and drew near to break the door.
Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ehera.” Na makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ ookire gũkũ arĩ mũgeni, na rĩu arenda gũtũciirithia! Wee nĩwe tũgwĩka ũũru gũkĩra acio!” Magĩkĩrĩrĩria kũhatĩrĩria Loti, na magĩkuhĩrĩria nĩguo moinange mũrango.
10 And the men stretched out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
No ageni acio maarĩ thĩinĩ magĩtambũrũkia moko, makĩguucia Loti, makĩmũcookia nyũmba na makĩhinga mũrango.
11 And they smote the men that were at the entrance of the house with blindness, from the smallest to the greatest; and they wearied themselves to find the entrance.
Magĩcooka makĩhũũra andũ acio maarĩ nja ya mũrango wa nyũmba, ethĩ na akũrũ, na ũtumumu nĩgeetha mage kuona mũrango.
12 And the men said to Lot, Whom hast thou here besides? a son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and all whom thou hast in the city — bring [them] out of the place.
Andũ acio eerĩ makĩũria Loti atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩ na andũ angĩ aku gũkũ, ta arĩa mahikĩtie airĩtu aku, aanake kana airĩtu aku, kana mũndũ ũngĩ waku o wothe ũrĩ itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ inene? Moimagarie muume gũkũ,
13 For we are going to destroy this place, because the cry of them is great before Jehovah, and Jehovah has sent us to destroy it.
tondũ nĩtũkwananga kũndũ gũkũ. Mũkayo ũrĩa ũkaĩirwo Jehova okĩrĩre andũ a gũkũ nĩ mũnene mũno, na nĩatũtũmĩte tũũke tũrĩanange.”
14 And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, Up, go out of this place, for Jehovah will destroy the city. But he was as if he jested, in the sight of his sons-in-law.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Loti akiumagara, agĩthiĩ akĩaria na athoni ake, arĩa maarĩ mahikie airĩtu ake. Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwĩhĩkei muume kũndũ gũkũ, nĩ ũndũ Jehova arĩ hakuhĩ kwananga itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene!” No athoni ake magĩĩciiria nĩ itherũ aamaringaga.
15 And as the dawn arose, the angels urged Lot, saying, Up, take thy wife and thy two daughters who are present, lest thou perish in the iniquity of the city.
Rũciinĩ ruoro rũgĩtema-rĩ, araika acio makĩhĩkahĩka Loti, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wĩhĩke! Oya mũtumia waku na airĩtu aku eerĩ arĩa marĩ gũkũ, kana mũniinanĩrio na itũũra rĩĩrĩ rĩkĩherithio.”
16 And as he lingered, the men laid hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters, Jehovah being merciful to him; and they led him out, and set him without the city.
Rĩrĩa Loti aahindahindire-rĩ, andũ acio makĩmũnyiita guoko, na moko ma mũtumia wake na ma airĩtu ake eerĩ, na makĩmoimagaria o wega nginya nja ya itũũra rĩu inene, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩamaiguĩrĩire tha.
17 And it came to pass when they had brought them outside, that he said, Escape for thy life: look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain: escape to the mountain, lest thou perish.
Na maarĩkia kũmaruta nja ya itũũra, ũmwe wao akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwĩtharei mũhonokie mĩoyo yanyu! Mũtikehũgũre, na mũtikarũgame handũ o na ha gũkũ kĩaragana-inĩ gĩkĩ! Ũrĩrai irĩma-inĩ, kana mũniinwo!”
18 And Lot said to them, Not [so], I pray thee, Lord;
No Loti akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Aca, aathi akwa, ndamũthaitha!
19 behold now, thy servant has found favour in thine eyes, and thou hast magnified thy goodness, which thou hast shewn to me in preserving my soul alive; but I cannot escape to the mountain, lest calamity lay hold on me, that I die.
Tondũ ndungata yanyu nĩ ĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte maitho-inĩ manyu, na nĩmũnyonetie ũtugi mũnene wa kũhonokia muoyo wakwa, no ndingĩhota kũũrĩra irĩma-inĩ; mwanangĩko ũyũ nĩũkũngorerera, na nĩngũkua.
20 Behold now, this city is near to flee to, and it is small: I pray thee, let me escape thither — is it not small? — and my soul shall live.
Ta rorai, haarĩa harĩ na itũũra rĩrĩ hakuhĩ ingĩũrĩra, na nĩ inini. Rekei njũrĩre kuo, nĩ itũũra inini mũno, githĩ tiguo? Naguo muoyo wakwa nĩũkũhonoka.”
21 And he said to him, Behold, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which thou hast spoken.
Nake mũraika akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ wega mũno, nĩngũkũiguĩra ihooya rĩu o narĩo; Ndikũharagania itũũra rĩu waria ũhoro warĩo.
22 Haste, escape thither; for I cannot do anything until thou art come there. Therefore the name of the city is called Zoar.
No rĩrĩ, ũrĩra kuo na ihenya, nĩ ũndũ gũtirĩ ũndũ ingĩĩka nginya ũkinye kuo.” (Nĩkĩo itũũra rĩu rĩĩtagwo Zoari.)
23 The sun rose upon the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
Loti agĩkinya Zoari-rĩ, riũa nĩrĩarĩkĩtie kũratha.
24 And Jehovah rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah out of heaven,
Nake Jehova akiurĩria Sodomu na Gomora mwaki wa ũbiriti uumĩte igũrũ kũrĩ Jehova.
25 and overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew upon the ground.
Nake akĩharagania matũũra macio manene, na kĩaragana kĩu gĩothe, o hamwe na arĩa othe maatũire matũũra-inĩ macio manene, o na mĩmera yothe ya bũrũri ũcio.
26 And his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
No mũtumia wa Loti nĩehũgũrire na thuutha, nake agĩtuĩka gĩtugĩ gĩa cumbĩ.
27 And Abraham rose early in the morning [and went] to the place where he had stood before Jehovah;
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ rũciinĩ tene-rĩ, Iburahĩmu agĩũkĩra na agĩcooka handũ harĩa aarũgamĩte mbere ya Jehova.
28 and he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and lo, a smoke went up from the land as the smoke of a furnace.
Agĩcũthĩrĩria mwena wa Sodomu na Gomora, bũrũri wothe wa kĩaragana kĩu, nake akĩona ndogo ndumanu yambatĩte na igũrũ kuuma bũrũri-inĩ ũcio, ĩhaana ta ndogo yumĩte icua-inĩ.
29 And it came to pass when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, rĩrĩa Jehova aanangire matũũra macio manene ma kĩaragana kĩu, nĩaririkanire Iburahĩmu, na akĩruta Loti mwanangĩko-inĩ ũcio waharaganirie matũũra macio manene kũrĩa Loti atũire.
30 And Lot went up from Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar. And he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
Thuutha ũcio Loti akiuma Zoari, agĩthiĩ gũtũũra kĩrĩma-inĩ arĩ hamwe na airĩtu ake eerĩ, tondũ nĩetigĩrire gũikara Zoari. We na airĩtu ake eerĩ magĩtũũra ngurunga-inĩ.
31 And the first-born said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the land to come in to us after the manner of all the earth:
Mũthenya ũmwe-rĩ, mũirĩtu ũrĩa warĩ mũkũrũ akĩĩra ũrĩa warĩ mũnini atĩrĩ, “Ithe witũ nĩ mũkũrũ, na gũtirĩ mũndũ mũrũme ũrĩ hakuhĩ wa gũkoma na ithuĩ, ta ũrĩa arĩ mũtugo kũndũ guothe gũkũ thĩ.
32 come, let us give our father wine to drink, and let us lie with him, that we may preserve seed alive of our father.
Reke tũhe ithe witũ ndibei anyue nĩgeetha tũkome nake, na tũtũũrie rũciaro rwitũ na ũndũ wa ithe witũ.”
33 And they gave their father wine to drink that night. And the first-born went in, and lay with her father, and he did not know of her lying down, nor of her rising.
Ũtukũ ũcio magĩtũma ithe wao anyue ndibei, na mũirĩtu ũrĩa mũkũrũ agĩtoonya na agĩkoma nake. Nowe Loti ndaamenyire rĩrĩa mũirĩtu aakomire kana rĩrĩa ookĩrire.
34 And it came to pass on the next day that the first-born said to the younger, Lo, I lay last night with my father: let us give him wine to drink to-night also, and go thou in, lie with him, that we may preserve seed alive of our father.
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ, mũirĩtu ũrĩa mũkũrũ akĩĩra ũrĩa mũnini atĩrĩ, “Hwaĩ ũtukũ nĩ niĩ ndĩrakomire na ithe witũ. Reke tũmũhe ndibei rĩngĩ anyue ũtukũ wa ũmũthĩ, nawe ũthiĩ ũkome nake, nĩgeetha tũtũũrie rũciaro rwitũ na ũndũ wa ithe witũ.”
35 And they gave their father wine to drink that night also. And the younger arose, and lay with him; and he did not know of her lying down, nor of her rising.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩtũma ithe wao anyue ndibei ũtukũ ũcio o naguo, nake mũirĩtu ũrĩa warĩ mũnini agĩtoonya agĩkoma nake. O rĩngĩ Loti ndaamenyire rĩrĩa mũirĩtu aakomire kana rĩrĩa ookĩrire.
36 And both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio airĩtu acio eerĩ a Loti makĩgĩa nda na ithe wao.
37 And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites to this day.
Mũirĩtu ũrĩa mũkũrũ agĩciara kahĩĩ na agĩgatua Moabi, na nĩwe ithe wa andũ a Moabi gwata ũmũthĩ.
38 And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi; the same is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.
Mũirĩtu ũrĩa mũnini o nake agĩciara kahĩĩ, nake agĩgatua Beni-Ami, na nĩwe ithe wa Aamoni arĩa marĩ kuo nginya ũmũthĩ.
