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,
साँझमा लोत सदोमको मूल ढोकामा बसिरहेका बेला दुई स्वर्गदूतहरू सदोममा आए । उनीहरूलाई देखेपछि लोत भेट गर्न उठे, र आफ्नो मुहारलाई भुइँसम्मै निहुराएर दण्डवत् गरे ।
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.
तिनले भने “मेरा मालिक, म बिन्ती गर्दछु, कि आफ्नो दासको घरभित्र आउनुहोस्, आजको रात यहीँ बिताउनुहोस्, र आफ्ना पाउ धुनुहोस् । त्यसपछि बिहान सबेरै उठेर तपाईंहरू आफ्नो बाटो लाग्न सक्नुहुन्छ ।” उनीहरूले जवाफ दिए, “होइन, हामी सहरको चोकमा नै रात बिताउनेछौँ ।
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.
तर तिनले उनीहरूलाई ज्यादै आग्रह गरे, त्यसैकारण उनीहरू तिनीसँगै घरभित्र प्रवेश गरे । तिनले भोजनमा खमिर नराखेको रोटी तयार गरे, र उनीहरूले खाए ।
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.
तर उनीहरू सुत्नअगि सदोम सहरका सबै युवा र जवान, र सहरका सबै भागबाट सबै मानिसहरू आएर त्यस घरलाई घेरे ।
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.
तिनीहरूले लोतलाई बोलाएर भने, “साँझ तिमीकहाँ आएका मानिसहरू कहाँ छन्? उनीहरूलाई बाहिर हामीकहाँ ल्याऊ, ताकि हामी तिनीहरूसँग सुत्न सकौँ ।”
6 And Lot went out to them to the entrance, and shut the door after him,
यसैकारण लोत ढोकाबाट बाहिर मानिसहरूकहाँ निस्के र आफू निस्केपछि ढोका थुनिदिए ।
7 and said, I pray you, my brethren, do not wickedly!
तिनले भने, “मेरा भाइहरू, म बिन्ती गर्दछु, यस्तो दुष्ट काम नगर्नुहोस् ।
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.
हेर्नुहोस्, मेरा दुई छोरी छन् जो कुनै मानिससँग सुतेका छैनन् । म बिन्ती गर्दछु, मेरा छोरीहरूलाई तपाईंहरूकहाँ ल्याउन दिनुहोस्, र तपाईंहरूको नजरमा जे असल लाग्छ तिनीहरूसँग त्यही गर्नुहोस् । केवल यी मानिसहरूलाई केही नगर्नुहोस्, किनभने उनीहरू मेरो छतको छायामुनि आएका पाहुना हुन् ।”
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.
तिनीहरूले भने, “पछि हट्!” तिनीहरूले यसो पनि भने, “यो यहाँ परदेशी भएर बस्न आएको थियो, र अहिले हाम्रो न्यायकर्ता भएको छ! अब हामी तिनीहरूलाई भन्दा तँलाई नराम्रो व्यवहार गर्नेछौँ ।” तिनीहरूले ती मानिसहरू र लोतको विरुद्धमा दबाब दिए, र ढोका भत्काउनको निम्ति नजिक आए ।
10 And the men stretched out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
तर ती मानिसहरूले आफ्ना हात निकालेर लोतलाई तिनीहरूसँगै घरभित्र ताने र ढोका बन्द गरिदिए ।
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.
त्यसपछि लोतका पाहुनाहरूले घरको ढोकाबाहिर भएका मानिसहरू, जवान र वृद्ध दुवैलाई प्रहार गरी अन्धा बनाइदिए, र तिनीहरू ढोका खोज्ने प्रयास गर्दा-गर्दै थाके ।
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.
त्यसपछि ती मानिसहरूले लोतलाई भने, “के तिमीकहाँ अरू कोही छन्? जुवाइँ, छोराहरू, छोरीहरू, र यस सहरमा तिम्रा जो कोही छन्, सबैलाई यस सहरबाट बाहिर लैजाऊ ।
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.
किनभने हामीले यो ठाउँलाई नष्ट गर्न लागेका छौँ, किनभने परमप्रभुको अगि यस सहरको विरुद्धमा दोषहरू यति ठुला भएका छन्, कि उहाँले हामीलाई यस सहरलाई नष्ट पार्न पठाउनुभएको छ ।”
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.
लोत बाहिर गए, र तिनले आफ्ना छोरीहरूलाई विवाह गर्न प्रतिज्ञा गरेका जुवाइँहरूसँग यसो भने, “छिट्टै, यस ठाउँबाट निस्किहाल, किनभने परमप्रभुले यस सहरलाई नष्ट पार्न लाग्नुभएको छ ।” तर तिनका जुवाइँहरूलाई तिनले ठट्टा गरेझैँ लाग्यो ।
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.
जब झिसमिसे बिहान भयो, ती स्वर्गदूतहरूले लोतलाई यसो भने, “जाऊ, यहाँ भएका तिम्री पत्नी र तिम्रा छोरीहरूलाई लैजाऊ, र यस सहरको दण्डमा तिमी नष्ट हुनेछैनौ ।”
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.
तर तिनले अलमल गर्न थाले । त्यसैकारण ती मानिसहरूले लोत, तिनकी पत्नी, र तिनका दुई छोरीका हातहरू समाते, किनभने परमप्रभु तिनीप्रति दयालु हुनुहुन्थ्यो । उनीहरूले तिनीहरू सबैलाई बाहिर निकाले, र सहरबाहिर पठाए ।
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.
जब उनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर निकाले, ती मानिसहरूमध्ये एकजनाले भने, “आफ्नो प्राण बचाउनको निम्ति भाग! पछाडि फर्की नहेर, वा कतै समतल ठाउँमा नबस । पहाडहरूतिर भाग र तिमीहरू नष्ट हुनेछैनौ ।”
18 And Lot said to them, Not [so], I pray thee, Lord;
लोतले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “होइन, मेरा मालिकहरू!
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.
तपाईंका दृष्टिमा तपाईंको दासले कृपा पाएको छ, र मेरो प्राण बचाउनको निम्ति ममाथि तपाईंहरूले ठुलो दया देखाउनुभएको छ, तर म पहाडहरूतिर भाग्न सक्दिनँ, किनभने ममाथि विपत्ति आइलाग्नेछ र म मर्नेछु ।
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.
हेर्नुहोस्, त्यहाँको सहर भाग्नको निम्ति नजिक छ, र त्यो सानो पनि छ । कृपया, मलाई त्यहाँ भाग्न दिनुहोस् (के त्यो सानोचाहिँ होइन र?), र मेरो जीवन बच्नेछ ।”
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.
उनले तिनलाई भने, “ठिक छ, म तिम्रो यो अनुरोध पनि पुरा गर्नेछु र तिमीले उल्लेख गरेको त्यस सहर म नष्ट गर्दिनँ ।
22 Haste, escape thither; for I cannot do anything until thou art come there. Therefore the name of the city is called Zoar.
छिटो गर! त्यहाँ भाग, किनभने तिमी त्यहाँ नपुगेसम्म म केही गर्न सक्दिनँ ।” यसैकारण त्यस सहरलाई सोअर भनियो ।
23 The sun rose upon the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
लोत सोहर पुग्दा घाम उदाइसकेको थियो ।
24 And Jehovah rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah out of heaven,
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले सदोम र गमोरामाथि आकाशबाट गन्धक र आगो बर्साउनुभयो ।
25 and overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew upon the ground.
उहाँले ती सहरहरू, सबै समतल भूमि, र ती सहरहरूका बासिन्दाहरू, र भूमिमा उब्जेका सबै बिरुवाहरूलाई नष्ट पार्नुभयो ।
26 And his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
तर लोतकी पत्नीले पछाडि फर्केर हेरिन्, जो तिनको पछि-पछि थिइन्, र तिनी नुनको ढिक्का बनिन् ।
27 And Abraham rose early in the morning [and went] to the place where he had stood before Jehovah;
अब्राहाम बिहान सबेरै उठे र तिनी परमप्रभुको सामु उभिएको ठाउँमा गए ।
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.
उनले सदोम र गमोरातर्फ र सबै समतल भूमिमा हेरे । उनले त्यस भूमिबाट भट्टीको धुवाँझैँ माथितिर धुवाँ आइरहेको देखे ।
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.
परमेश्वरले समतल भूमिका सहरहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नुभएपछि, उहाँले अब्राहामलाई सम्झनुभयो । उहाँले लोतले बसोबास गरेका सहरहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नुहुँदा, लोतलाई त्यस विनाशको माझबाट बाहिर निकाल्नुभयो ।
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.
तर लोत आफ्ना दुई छोरीसँग सोअरबाट पहाडहरूमा बसोबास गर्न गए, किनभने तिनी सोअरमा बस्न डराए । यसैकारण, तिनी र तिनका दुई छोरीहरू एउटा गुफामा बसे ।
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:
जेठीले कान्छीलाई भनिन्, “हाम्रा बुबा वृद्ध भएका छन्, र सारा संसारको रीतिअनुसार हामीसँग सुत्ने कहीँ पनि कोही मानिस छैन ।
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.
आऊ, हाम्रो बुबालाई मद्य पिउन लगाऔँ, अनि हाम्रो बुबाको वंशलाई बिस्तार गर्न हामी उहाँसँग सुतौँ ।”
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.
यसैकारण त्यस रात तिनीहरूले आफ्ना बुबालाई मद्य पिउन लगाए । त्यसपछि जेठीचाहिँ भित्र गइन् र आफ्ना बुबासँग सुतिन्; तिनी कहिले सुतिन् र कहिले उठिन् भन्ने उनलाई पत्तो नै भएन ।
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.
अर्को दिन जेठीले कान्छीलाई भनिन्, “सुन, गएको रात म मेरो बुबासँग सुतेँ । आजको रातमा पनि उहाँलाई मद्य पिउन लगाऔँ, र हाम्रो बुबाको वंश विस्तार गर्नको निम्ति तिमी गएर उहाँसँग सुत ।”
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.
यसैकारण, तिनीहरूले आफ्ना बुबालाई त्यस रात पनि मद्य पिउन लगाए, र कान्छीचाहिँ गएर उनीसँग सुतिन् । तिनी कहिले सुतिन् र कहिले उठिन् भन्ने उनलाई पत्तो नै भएन ।
36 And both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
यसरी लोतका दुवै छोरीहरू आफ्ना बुबाबाट गर्भवती भइन् ।
37 And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites to this day.
जेठीले एउटा छोरो जन्माइन्, र त्यसको नाउँ मोआब राखिन् । वर्तमान समयका मोआबीहरूका पुर्खा उनी नै हुन् ।
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.
कान्छी छोरीले पनि एउटा छोरा जन्माइन्, र त्यसको नाउँ बेन-अमी राखिन् । वर्तमान समयका अम्मोनीहरूका पुर्खा उनी नै हुन् ।
