< Genesis 19 >
1 And the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of the city. And seeing them, he rose up and went to meet them: and worshipped prostrate to the ground,
Van kami hnik loe duembang ah Sodom vangpui ah angzoh hoi; to naah Lot loe Sodom vangpui khongkha ah anghnut; Lot mah nihnik to hnuk hanah angthawk moe, mikhmai long ah kuep tathuk.
2 And said: I beseech you, my lords, turn in to the house of your servant, and lodge there: wash your feet, and in the morning you shall go on your way. And they said: No, but we will abide in the street.
Anih mah, Khenah, ka Angraeng hnik, vaihi na tamna im ah angzo hoi ah; khok amsae hoih loe, duem to iip hoi ah; khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk hoih loe caeh hoih, tiah a naa. Nihnik mah, To tih na ai, Kaihnik loe qum puek loklam ah ka oh hoi han, tiah a naa.
3 He pressed them very much to turn in unto him: and when they were come into his house, he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread and they ate:
Toe anih mah pacae khruek pongah, anih hnuk ah bang hoi moe, anih imthung ah akun hoi; nihnik hanah caak koi, taeh thuh ai ih takaw to patoem pae moe, a caak hoi.
4 But before they went to bed, the men of the city beset the house both young and old, all the people together.
Toe nihnik iip hoi ai naah, Sodom vangpui thung ih kaminawk, thendoeng hoi mitongnawk, ahmuen kruek ih kaminawk mah, im to takui o khoep.
5 And they called Lot, and said to him: Where are the men that came in to thee at night? bring them out hither that we may know them:
Nihcae mah Lot to kawk o moe, anih khaeah, Vai qum ah na im ah katoem nongpanawk loe naa ah maw oh o? Kaicae khaeah na patoeh ah, ka zae o haih han vop, tiah a naa o.
6 Lot went out to them, and shut the door after him, and said:
Lot loe nihcae khaeah tasa bang ah caeh moe, a hnuk bang ih thok to khah pacoengah,
7 Do not so, I beseech you, my brethren, do not commit this evil.
nihcae khaeah, Nawkamyanawk, tahmenhaih hoi to baktih kasae hmuen to sah o hmah.
8 I have two daughters who as yet have not known man: I will bring them out to you, and abuse you them as it shall please you, so that you do no evil to these men, because they are come in under the shadow of my roof.
Khenah, nongpa hoi iip vai ai canu hnetto ka tawnh; nihnik to nangcae khaeah kang zoh haih han, na koeh o ih baktiah sah oh; toe hae kami hnik loe kawbang doeh sah o hmah; nihnik loe ka imphu tlim ah kabuep angvin ni, tiah a naa.
9 But they said: Get thee back thither. And again: Thou camest in, said they, as a, stranger, was it to be a judge? therefore we will afflict thee more than them. And they pressed very violently upon Lot: and they were even at the point of breaking open the doors.
Nihcae mah, Hnuk angnawn ah, tiah naa o. To pacoengah nihcae mah, Nang loe hae ah angvin ah ni nang zoh, toe vaihi loe lokcaekkung ah oh han na koeh; nihnik pong kanung kue ah nangmah to kang sak o lat han, tiah a naa o. Lot to hmaang o moe, thok to phraek hanah a caeh o.
10 And behold the men put out their hand, and drew in Lot unto them, and shut the door:
Toe van kami hnik loe ban payangh hoi moe, Lot to imthung ah zaeh hoi pacoengah, thok to khah hoi khoep.
11 And them that were without, they struck with blindness from the least to the greatest, so that they could not find the door.
Nihnik mah kathoeng kalen tih ai, thok taengah kaom, kaminawk to mikmaengsak boih pongah, nihcae loe thok pakrong naah angpho o.
12 And they said to Lot: Hast thou here any of thine? son in law, or sons, or daughters, all that are thine bring them out of this city:
To ih kami hnik mah Lot khaeah, Hae ahmuen ah na imthung takoh kaminawk oh o vop maw? Vangpui thung kaom, na canu ih sava, na capanawk, na canunawk to hae ahmuen hoi tacawt haih boih lai ah.
13 For we will destroy this place, because their cry is grown loud before the Lord, who hath sent us to destroy them.
Hae ahmuen hae ka phraek hoi han boeh; hae ih kaminawk hanghaih lok Angraeng ih naa ah koi sut boeh pongah, hae vangpui hae phraek hanah ang patoeh boeh, tiah a naa.
14 So Lot went out, and spoke to his sons in law that were to have his daughters, and said: Arise: get you out of this place, because the Lord will destroy this city. And he seemed to them to speak as it were in jest.
To pongah Lot loe tacawt moe, a canu kazu haih, a canu ih sava khaeah, Angthawk ah loe, hae ahmuen hoiah tacawt hoi lai ah; Angraeng mah hae vangpui hae phrae tih boeh, tiah a naa. Toe a canu ih sava hnik mah loe tamhnuilok thuih rumram ih lok tok mue, tiah a poek hoi.
15 And when it was morning, the angels pressed him, saying: Arise, take thy wife, and the two daughters which thou hast: lest thou also perish in the wickedness of the city.
Khodai naah loe, van kami hnik mah Lot khaeah, Karangah angthawk ah loe, hae ah kaom na zu hoi na canu hnik to kawk ah; to tih ai nahaeloe hae vangpui zaehaih mah na pha thuih moeng tih, tiah a naa.
16 And as he lingered, they took his hand, and the hand of his wife, and of his two daughters, because the Lord spared him.
Angtawt hnung parai pongah, Angraeng mah nihcae to tahmen, to naah van kami hnik mah Lot ih ban, a zu hoi a canu hnik ih ban to patawnh pae, vangpui tasa bang khoek to zaeh moe, caeh haih.
17 And they brought him forth, and set him without the city: and there they spoke to him, saying: Save thy life: look not back, neither stay thou in all the country about: but save thyself in the mountain, lest thou be also consumed.
Nihcae to vangpui tasa bang khoek to zaeh pacoengah loe anih mah, Na hing o hanah cawn oh, hnukbang angqoi o hmah loe, azawn ah doeh anghak o hmah, mae nuiah cawn oh; to tih ai nahaeloe na dueh o moeng tih, tiah a naa.
18 And Lot said to them: I beseech thee my Lord,
Toe Lot mah nihnik khaeah, Aw, ka angraeng, to tih na ai ni;
19 Because thy servant hath found grace before thee, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewn to me, in saving my life, and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil seize me, and I die:
khenah, vaihi na tamna kai loe mikcuk naakrak ah ka oh pongah, nang tahmenhaih amtuengsak moe, ka hinghaih nang pathlung boeh; toe mae ah loe ka cawn thai ai; sethaih maeto ka tongh ueloe, ka dueh moeng tih.
20 There is this city here at hand, to which I may flee, it is a little one, and I shall be saved in it: is it not a little one, and my soul shall live?
Khenah, vaihi cawnhhaih kanghnai daek ah vangpui tetta maeto oh, to ih vangpui tetta ah na cawnsak ah; (to vangpui loe tetta na ai maw?) to ah ka cawnh nahaeloe ka hinghaih loih tih, tiah a naa.
21 And he said to him: Behold also in this, I have heard thy prayers, not to destroy the city for which thou hast spoken.
Anih mah, khenah, nang thuih ih lok to ka tapom, nang hnik ih baktih toengah, to vangpui to ka phrae mak ai.
22 Make haste and be saved there, because I cannot do any thing till thou go in thither. Therefore the name of that city was called Segor.
Toe to ah karangah cawn ah, to ahmuen na pha ai karoek to tidoeh ka sah thai mak ai, tiah a naa. To pongah to vangpui to Zoar, tiah ahmin sak.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth, and Lot entered into Segor.
Zoar vangpui thungah Lot akun naah loe, long nuiah ni tacawt boeh.
24 And the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.
To naah Angraeng mah van bang hoiah kaat hmai hoi kangqong hmai to Sodom hoi Gomorrah vangpui nuiah khotui baktiah angzohsak.
25 And he destroyed these cities, and all the country about, all the inhabitants of the cities, and all things that spring from the earth.
To vangpuinawk hoi nawnto azawn boih, vangpui thungah kaom kaminawk boih, long ah kamprawk akungnawk to amro boih.
26 And his wife looking behind her, was turned into a statue of salt.
Toe Lot zu loe hnukbang ah angqoi pongah, paloi tungah angcoeng ving.
27 And Abraham got up early in the morning and in the place where he had stood before with the Lord,
Abraham loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk moe, Angraeng hmaa ah angdoethaih ahmuen ah caeh;
28 He looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha, and the whole land of that country: and he saw the ashes rise up from the earth as the smoke of a furnace.
Sodom hoi Gomorrah, azawn boih to doeng tathuk; khenah, hmaitikhaih ahmuen ih hmaikhue baktiah prae thung boih ah tacawt hmaikhue to a hnuk.
29 Now when God destroyed the cities of that country, remembering Abraham, he delivered Lot out of the destruction of the cities wherein he had dwelt.
Angraeng mah azawn ih vangpuinawk to phraek naah, Sithaw mah Abraham to pahnet ai, Lot ohhaih vangpui to phraek han oh naah doeh, kamro vangpui thung hoiah Lot to a loihsak.
30 And Lot went up out of Segor, and abode in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, (for he was afraid to stay in Segor, ) and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters with him.
Lot loe Zoar vangpui thungah oh han zit pongah, Zoar vangpui thung hoiah tacawt moe, a canu hnik hoi nawnto mae nuiah khosak; a canu hnik hoi nawnto thlung khaw thungah oh.
31 And the elder said to the younger Our father is old, and there is no man left on the earth, to come in unto us after the manner of the whole earth.
Nito naah loe a canu kacoeh mah, a canu kanawk khaeah, Aihnik ampa loe mitong boeh, long pum ah aihnik iih haih han angzo nongpa maeto doeh om ai boeh.
32 Come, let us make him drunk with wine, and let us lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
Pa ih atii anghmat han ai ah, aihnik ampa to misurtui naesak si loe, anih to iip haih si, tiah a naa.
33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the elder went in and lay with her father: but he perceived not neither when his daughter lay down, nor when she rose up.
To na aqum ah ampa to misurtui panaek hoi moe, canu kacoeh mah ampa to iih haih; a canu mah natuek naah maw iih haih moe, natuek naah maw angthawk taak, tito ampa mah panoek ai.
34 And the next day the elder said to the younger: Behold I lay last night with my father, let us make him drink wine also to night, and thou shalt lie with him, that we may save seed of our father.
Khawnbang ah loe a canu kacoeh mah amnawk khaeah, Khenah, cangduem aqum ah pa to ka iih haih; vaiduem doeh misurtui naesak let si; anih khaeah nang caeh ah loe, pa ih atii anghmat han ai ah, nang doeh anih to iip haih toeng ah, tiah a naa.
35 They made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in, and lay with him: and neither then did he perceive when she lay down, nor when she rose up.
To naduem doeh ampa to misurtui panaek hoi let, canu kanawk loe angthawk moe, ampa to iih haih; natuek naah maw iih haih moe, natuek naah maw angthawk, tito ampa mah panoek ai.
36 So the two daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
To pongah a canu hnik loe ampa ih caa to pomh hoi hmaek.
37 And the elder bore a son, and she called his name Moab: he is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
Canu kacoeh mah capa maeto sak moe Moab, tiah ahmin phui; anih loe vaihni ni khoek to Moab kaminawk ih ampa ah oh.
38 The younger also bore a son, and she called his name Ammon, that is, the son of my people: he is the father of the Ammonites unto this day.
Canu kanawk mah doeh capa maeto sak moe Ben-Ammi, tiah ahmin phui; anih loe vaihni ni khoek to Ammon kaminawk ih ampa ah oh.
