Genesis 19
1 The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening. Lot happened to be sitting at the entrance to Sodom, and when he saw them he stood up to meet them, and bowed low with his face to the ground.
Bamalayika ababiri ne batuuka mu Sodomu akawungeezi; Lutti yali atudde mu mulyango gwa Sodomu. Lutti bwe yabalaba n’agolokoka okubasisinkana, n’avuunama,
2 “Sirs, please come and stay with me for the night,” he said. “You can wash your feet and then be on your way early in the morning.” They replied, “No, it's fine. We'll spend the night here in the square.”
n’agamba nti, “Bakama bange mukyame mu nnyumba y’omuddu wammwe munaabe ku bigere, mbegayiridde n’okusula musule. Munaazuukuka mangu ku makya ne mukwata ekkubo lyammwe.” Ne bagamba nti, “Nedda tunaasula mu luguudo.”
3 But Lot insisted, and they went with him to his house. He made them a meal and baked bread for them to eat.
Naye n’abawaliriza nnyo; awo ne bakyama ne bajja gy’ali ne bayingira mu nnyumba ye, n’abategekera ekijjulo n’emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse ne balya.
4 But they hadn't even gone to bed before the men of Sodom, young and old, from every part of town, came and surrounded the house.
Naye nga tebannaba kugenda kwebaka, abasajja ab’omu kibuga, abasajja ba Sodomu, abakulu n’abato, abantu bonna ne beetooloola ennyumba;
5 They shouted out to Lot, “Where are the men who came to stay with you tonight? Bring them out here to us so we can have sex with them.”
ne bayita Lutti nga bagamba nti, “Abasajja abazze gy’oli ekiro kino bali ludda wa? Batufulumize twebake nabo.”
6 Lot went out to talk to them in the doorway, closing the door behind him.
Lutti n’afuluma gye bali, n’aggalawo oluggi,
7 “My friends, please don't do such an evil thing!
n’abagamba nti, “Baganda bange mbasaba temukola kibi kifaanana bwe kityo.
8 Listen, I've got two virgin daughters. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do to them whatever you want, but please don't do anything to these men. It's my responsibility to look after them.”
Laba, nnina bawala bange embeerera babiri, ka mbabafulumize, mubakole kye mwagala; naye temubaako kye mukola basajja bano, bagenyi bange era nze mbalabirira.”
9 “Out of our way!” they shouted. “Who do you think you are, coming to live here and now trying to judge us? We'll do even worse things to you than we were going to do to these men!” They rushed forward at Lot and tried to break down the door.
Naye ne bamugamba nti, “Tuviire! Omusajja omugwira ono, ate kati y’atulagira eky’okukola! Nedda, tujja kukukolako n’okusinga abagenyi bo.” Awo ne banyigiriza nnyo Lutti, era kaabula kata bamenye n’oluggi.
10 But the men inside reached out and grabbed Lot, dragged him inside, and slammed the door shut.
Naye abasajja ababiri abaali mu nnyumba ne bagolola emikono gyabwe ne bakwata Lutti ne bamuyingiza mu nnyumba ne baggalawo oluggi.
11 Then they made all the men in the doorway, young and old, suddenly go blind so they couldn't find the door.
Ne baziba amaaso g’abasajja abaali ebweru ku luggi lw’ennyumba, abato n’abakulu, ne bakoowa nga bawammanta oluggi.
12 The two men asked Lot, “Is there anyone else here who's part of your family—sons-in-law, or sons or daughters, or anyone else in the town? If there are, make sure they leave,
Awo abasajja bali ababiri ne babuuza Lutti nti, “Olina abantu bo abalala wano, batabani bo, oba bakoddomi bo, oba bawala bo, oba omuntu omulala yenna mu kibuga? Bafulumye mu kifo kino;
13 because we are about to destroy this place. The complaints that have reached the Lord about its people have become so bad that he has sent us to destroy it.”
kubanga tuli kumpi okukizikiriza. Kubanga okukaaba olw’abantu baamu eri Mukama kuyitiridde, era atutumye okukizikiriza.”
14 Lot went immediately to speak to the men who were engaged to marry his daughters. “Get up quickly and leave,” he said, “because the Lord is about to destroy the town!” But they thought it was just a joke.
Awo Lutti n’afuluma n’ategeeza bakoddomi be abaali ab’okuwasa bawala be ng’agamba nti, “Musituke, muve mu kifo kino, kubanga Mukama ali kumpi kukizikiriza.” Naye yafaanana ng’abalaata eri bakoddomi be. Lutti n’ab’ennyumba ye ne badduka.
15 At dawn, the angels begged Lot to be quick, telling him, “Hurry up! Leave right now with your wife and your two daughters here, otherwise you'll be wiped out when the city is punished.”
Naye obudde bwe bwali bunaatera okukya, bamalayika ne balagira Lutti nga bagamba nti, “Golokoka, otwale mukazi wo ne bawala bo ababiri abali wano muleme okuzikirira ng’ekibuga kibonerezebwa.”
16 But Lot hesitated. The men grabbed his hand, and those of his wife and two daughters, and dragged them along, leaving them outside the town. The Lord was kind to them to do this.
Naye bwe yali akyekunya, abasajja ne bamukwata omukono, n’emikono gya mukazi we, n’emikono gy’abawala be bombi, Mukama ng’abakwatirwa ekisa, ne babafulumya ne babateeka ebweru w’ekibuga.
17 As soon as they were outside, one of the men said, “Run for your lives! Don't look back, and don't stop anywhere in the valley! Run to the mountains otherwise you'll be destroyed!”
Bwe baabafulumya ne babagamba nti, “Mudduke muwonye obulamu bwammwe, temutunula mabega wadde okuyimirira mu kiwonvu; muddukire ku nsozi, muleme okuzikirizibwa.”
18 “Please sir, not that!” Lot replied.
Awo Lutti n’abagamba nti, “Nedda bakama bange;
19 “If you don't mind, since you have already been so kind to me by saving my life, don't make me run to the mountains—I just can't make it. The destruction will overtake me and I'll die!
Laba, omuddu wammwe alabye ekisa mu maaso gammwe, era mundaze ekisa kingi nga muwonya obulamu bwange; naye siyinza kuddukira ku nsozi akabi tekalwa kunzingiza ne nfa.
20 Look, there's a town nearby that's close enough to run to, and it's so small. Please let me run there—it's really very small. It would save my life.”
Laba, ekibuga kiri ekitono ekiri okumpi, kirungi okuddukira omwo. Leka nzirukire eyo. Era n’obulamu bwange bujja kuwona!”
21 “Fine—I'll do as you ask,” he replied. “I won't destroy this town you've mentioned.
N’amuddamu nti, “Laba, era nnyongedde okukukwatirwa ekisa, sijja kumalawo kibuga ky’oyogeddeko.
22 But hurry up and run there quickly, because I can't do anything until you get there.” (This is why the town was called Zoar.)
Yanguwa tolwa, ddukira eyo; kubanga siriiko kye nnaakola nga tonnatuuka eyo.” Erinnya ly’ekibuga kyeryava liba Zowaali.
23 The sun had already risen by the time Lot reached Zoar.
Lutti we yatuukira mu Zowaali enjuba yali evuddeyo, Sodomu ne Ggomola ne bizikirizibwa.
24 Then the Lord rained down fire and burning sulfur from the sky on Sodom and Gomorrah.
Awo Mukama n’atonnyesa ku Sodomu ne Ggomola omuliro n’obuganga okuva mu ggulu;
25 He completely destroyed the towns and all their inhabitants, the whole valley and everything growing there.
n’azikiriza ebibuga ebyo, n’ekiwonvu kyonna n’abantu bonna abaali mu bibuga, ne buli kintu ekyalimu.
26 But Lot's wife, who was lagging behind, looked back, and she turned into a pillar of salt.
Naye mukazi wa Lutti bwe yatunula emabega, n’afuuka empagi ey’omunnyo.
27 Abraham got up early the next morning and went back to where he had stood before the Lord.
Awo ku makya ennyo Ibulayimu n’agenda mu kifo mwe yayimiririra mu maaso ga Mukama;
28 He looked down at Sodom and Gomorrah and the whole valley floor, and saw the land burning, sending up smoke like from a furnace.
n’atunula wansi okwolekera Sodomu ne Ggomola n’okwolekera ekitundu kyonna eky’olusenyi, n’alaba, era laba, ekitundu kyonna nga kijjudde omukka.
29 When God destroyed the towns of the valley he didn't forget the promise he made Abraham, and he saved Lot from the destruction of the towns where Lot was living.
Bwe kityo bwe kyali Katonda bwe yazikiriza ebibuga eby’omu kiwonvu. Katonda n’ajjukira Ibulayimu n’afulumya Lutti ebweru n’amuggya wakati mu kuzikirizibwa, bwe yazikiriza ebibuga Lutti mwe yabeeranga.
30 Lot was afraid to stay in Zoar, so he left town and went to live in a cave in the mountains with his two daughters.
Awo Lutti n’ava mu Zowaali, n’abeera mu nsozi wamu ne bawala be, kubanga yatya okubeera mu Zowaali. Ye ne bawala be ne babeera mu mpuku.
31 Sometime later the older daughter said to the younger one, “Our father is growing old, and there's no men left to give us children like everyone does.
Olunaku lumu omuwala omukulu n’agamba muto we nti, “Kitaffe akaddiye era tewali na musajja ku nsi ajja kutwagala ng’empisa y’ensi bw’eri.
32 Come on, let's get our father drunk with wine and sleep with him so we can keep his family line going.”
Jjangu tunywese kitaffe omwenge, tulyoke twebake naye, tusobole okufuna ezzadde nga liva mu kitaffe.”
33 So they got their father drunk with wine that night. The older daughter went and slept with him, and he didn't notice when she lay down or when she got up.
Ne batamiiza kitaabwe ekiro ekyo, omukulu n’agenda ne yeebaka ne kitaawe, Lutti n’atamanya bwe yeebaka yadde bwe yagolokoka.
34 The next day the older daughter said to the younger one, “Last night I slept with our father. Let's get him drunk with wine again tonight and you can go and sleep with him so we can keep his family line going.”
Ku lunaku olwaddirira, omuwala omukulu n’agamba omuto nti, “Laba, ekiro neebase ne kitange; Leka tumunywese omwenge ekiro kino, oyingire gy’ali weebake naye, tulyoke tusobole okukuuma ezzadde mu kitaffe.”
35 So once again that night they got their father drunk with wine and the younger daughter went and slept with him, and he didn't notice when she lay down or when she got up.
Awo ne batamiiza kitaabwe ekiro ekyo, omuwala omuto n’asituka ne yeebaka naye, Lutti n’atamanya bwe yeebase ne bw’agolokose.
36 This is how both Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father.
Bwe batyo bawala ba Lutti bombi buli omu n’aba olubuto nga lwa kitaabwe.
37 The older daughter had a son, and she called him Moab. He is the ancestor of the Moabites of today.
Omuwala omukulu n’azaala omwana wabulenzi n’amutuuma Mowaabu, ye jjajja w’Abamowaabu abaliwo kaakano.
38 The younger daughter had a son too, and she called him Ben-ammi. He is the ancestor of the Ammonites of today.
Omuto naye n’azaala omwana mulenzi n’amutuuma Benami, ye yavaamu Abamoni abaliwo ne kaakano.
