< 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.
Lamatualain feꞌe olaꞌ no Abraham ma, ate Na rua mia sorga risiꞌ kota Sodꞌom. Ara losa naa te, relo a nae mopo ena. Leleꞌ naa, Lot feꞌe endoꞌ sia kota a lelesu ine na. Nita atahori karuaꞌ ra ma, ana neu soru se. Ana sendeꞌ lululangga na ma beꞌutee mia mata nara.
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.”
Ma ana olaꞌ nae, “Ama nggare! Ima tuli ume ngga dei. Safe ei mara, ma sungguꞌ. Mbila fefetu na fo, feꞌe lao naa.” Te rataa rae, “Makasi. Afiꞌ tao ia-naa! Hai sungguꞌ miiꞌ a lenu loaꞌ ia.”
3 But Lot insisted, and they went with him to his house. He made them a meal and baked bread for them to eat.
Te Lot kokoe nakandooꞌ a, losa ara nau. Boe ma Lot se tunu roti, ma sadꞌia mei fo raa raꞌabꞌue.
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.
Fuiꞌ ra nda feꞌe sungguꞌ sa, te touꞌ Sodꞌom ra moko-anak, rema heo rala Lot ume na.
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.”
Ara rameli Lot rae, “He, Lot! Tou karuaꞌ faꞌ ra, sia bee? Fee se dea rema, te hai mae bodꞌe se!”
6 Lot went out to talk to them in the doorway, closing the door behind him.
Boe ma Lot dea neu, ma ena lelesu a.
7 “My friends, please don't do such an evil thing!
Ana olaꞌ nae, “Toronooꞌ re! Afiꞌ tao deꞌulakaꞌ neu fuiꞌ nggara.
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.”
Rena dei! Au ana feto nggara rua, feꞌe feto anaꞌ ra. Onaꞌ bee naa, au fee se reu hei. Hei mae tao se taꞌo bee o, naa siaꞌ a hei e. Sadꞌi afiꞌ tao saa-saa neu au fuiꞌ nggara boe. Huu tungga hita hadat na, au musi unea se malolole.”
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.
Te atahori Sodꞌom ra rameli rae, “Ho afiꞌ sambor! Ho, manatain! Ho atahori deaꞌ, nda muꞌena hak fadꞌuli hai sa. Dinggoꞌ naa! Hokoꞌ naa, hai tao nggo lenaꞌ atahori karuaꞌ naa ra!” Boe ma ara timba hendi Lot, de reu tara lelesu a, fo rae ralutu e.
10 But the men inside reached out and grabbed Lot, dragged him inside, and slammed the door shut.
Te atahori karuaꞌ ra soi lelesu ma loo lima nara de lea Lot ume rala neu. Basa ma, ara nggoe lelesu a,
11 Then they made all the men in the doorway, young and old, suddenly go blind so they couldn't find the door.
ma tao rapokeꞌ atahori Sodꞌom ra mata nara. Naa de, ara nggao-nggao lelesu a, te nda hambu sa.
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,
Basa ma, fuiꞌ ka ruaꞌ naa ra olaꞌ ro Lot rae, “Lot! LAMATUALAIN nahine kamboꞌ ia deꞌulaka na ena. Ana fee hai ima fo tao milutu e. Dadꞌi feꞌe muꞌena odꞌi-aꞌa, ana touꞌ, do inaꞌ, do ana mone feus, do sudꞌi a se sia kamboꞌ ia, do hokoꞌ? Mete ma, sia, muu mala se fo lao hela ia leo!”
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.”
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.
De Lot neu nandaa no touꞌ rua mana rae dadꞌi ana mone feu nara. Nafadꞌe se nae, “Rena malolole! Hei lao hela kamboꞌ ia leo, te LAMATUALAIN nae tao nalutu e!” Te ara rae Lot olaꞌ andiaoꞌ.
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.”
Mbila fefetu na ma, Lamatualain ate karuaꞌ naa ra, raꞌasusuuꞌ Lot se lao hela Sodꞌom lai-lai. Ara rae, “Lot! Fela leo! Mendi sao ma, ma ana feto mara ruꞌa se, fo mela hela kamboꞌ ia leo. Afiꞌ losa hei mate hieꞌ a, ma mimbilutu mo kamboꞌ ia.”
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.
Te Lot feꞌe pale-pale. Tao-tao te LAMATUALAIN nae fee ne nasodꞌa. Naa de, fuiꞌ karuaꞌ ra toꞌu lima nara de nore Lot, ma sao na, ma ana feto nara ruꞌa se, de ro se lao hela kamboꞌ naa.
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!”
Boe ma fuiꞌ esa parenda se nae, “Melaꞌ lai-lai, fo sangga masodꞌa leo! Afiꞌ mete deaꞌ! Afiꞌ hahae sia lololoꞌ! Mela mikindoo misiꞌ leteꞌ naa, fo hei afiꞌ mate!”
18 “Please sir, not that!” Lot replied.
Te Lot nataa nae, “Aduu, amaꞌ! Afiꞌ taꞌo naa!
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!
Memaꞌ amaꞌ tulu-fali fee masodꞌa neu hai. Akaꞌ a leteꞌ naa, doo na seli! Seꞌu te hai nda feꞌe losa naa sa, te deꞌulakaꞌ oi hambu hai siaꞌ a dalaꞌ taladꞌa na ena.
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.”
Amaꞌ mete dei. Hambu kambo anaꞌ esa nda naꞌadꞌooꞌ no ia sa. Kamboꞌ naa nda nandaandaa sa. De mete ma amaꞌ nau, naa hai mii sangga masodꞌa sia naa.”
21 “Fine—I'll do as you ask,” he replied. “I won't destroy this town you've mentioned.
Nataa nae, “Neu! Mii leo! Au nda tao ulutu kamboꞌ naa sa.
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.)
Mela lai-lai mii leo! Mete ma hei nda feꞌe losa naa sa naa, au nda bisa tao saa-saa saꞌ boe.” Eniꞌ a leleꞌ naa, atahori babꞌae kamboꞌ naa naran Soar, sosoa na ‘anak’.
23 The sun had already risen by the time Lot reached Zoar.
Relo a sangga todꞌa ma, Lot se losa Soar.
24 Then the Lord rained down fire and burning sulfur from the sky on Sodom and Gomorrah.
Aiboiꞌ ma, LAMATUALAIN mbori ai no baleran manahotuꞌ mia lalai a nisiꞌ Sodꞌom no Gomora.
25 He completely destroyed the towns and all their inhabitants, the whole valley and everything growing there.
LAMATUALAIN tao nalutu basa kamboꞌ ra ma basa mana masodꞌaꞌ sia mamanaꞌ naa. Basa atahori, banda, ro hau-bebꞌa ra nenehotuꞌ.
26 But Lot's wife, who was lagging behind, looked back, and she turned into a pillar of salt.
Lot se rela ma, sao na mete deaꞌ. Aiboiꞌ ma, ana dadꞌi rii masiꞌ.
27 Abraham got up early the next morning and went back to where he had stood before the Lord.
Mbila fefetu anan ma, Abraham neu seluꞌ mia mamanaꞌ fo afis sa ana nambariiꞌ kokoe LAMATUALAIN.
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.
Ana mete raeꞌ neu nisiꞌ Sodꞌom no Gomora no ndule lololoꞌ a. Sia bee-bꞌee masuꞌ bubꞌue-bubꞌueꞌ hene lalai neu. Ma ai a naa hendi basaꞌ e.
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.
Dadꞌi leleꞌ Lamatualain tao nalutu mamanaꞌ a, nasanedꞌa hehelu Na neu Abraham. Naa de, Ana nore hendi Lot mia mamana nenehuku-dokiꞌ naa.
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.
Basa naa ma, Lot namatau leo nakandoo sia kamboꞌ Soar. Naa de, no ana feto nara ruꞌa se lali risiꞌ leteꞌ reu, de ara leo mia luat esa.
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.
Lao esa, ana feto aꞌa ka olaꞌ no odꞌi na nae, “Sia ia, nda hambu touꞌ esa saꞌ boe fo nema sao hita sa. Nda dooꞌ sa te, amaꞌ boe namalasi fo nda bisa hambu anaꞌ sa ena.
32 Come on, let's get our father drunk with wine and sleep with him so we can keep his family line going.”
De malole lenaꞌ, ata fee ne ninu mafu, fo sungguꞌ to e. Naa fo, ata tute tititi-nonosi nara.”
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.
Tetembaꞌ naa, ara fee ama na ninu anggor de mafu. Boe ma ana aꞌa ka neu sungguꞌ no e. Te tou lasiꞌ a mafu seli, de nda nitaꞌ nae eni tao sa no ana feto na saꞌ boe.
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.”
Mbila ma, aꞌa ka nafadꞌe odꞌi na nae, ‘Odꞌiꞌ! Tembaꞌ a au sungguꞌ o amaꞌ ena. Tetembaꞌ ia, ho hahambu ma. Dei fo tamafuꞌ amaꞌ fai, fo muu sungguꞌ mo e. Naa fo, hita ruꞌa nggita hambu anaꞌ, fo tute tititi-nonosi nara.”
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.
Tetemba na boe, ara tao ramafuꞌ ama na. De ana feto muri ka neu sungguꞌ no e. Te toulasiꞌ a mafu seli, de nda nitaꞌ nae eni tao sa no ana feto na saꞌ boe.
36 This is how both Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father.
No taꞌo naa, ruꞌa se rairu mia ama bꞌonggi na.
37 The older daughter had a son, and she called him Moab. He is the ancestor of the Moabites of today.
Boe ma aꞌa ka bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa. Ana babꞌae e Moab (lii na onaꞌ dedꞌea Ibrani sa, sosoa na nae ‘nema mia amaꞌ’). Ana dadꞌi atahori Moab ra bei-baꞌi nara losa faiꞌ ia.
38 The younger daughter had a son too, and she called him Ben-ammi. He is the ancestor of the Ammonites of today.
Ma odꞌi a bꞌonggi touꞌ esa. Ana babꞌae e Ben Ami (sosoa na ‘mia au atahori ngga’). Ana dadꞌi atahori Amon ra bei-baꞌi nara losa faiꞌ ia.
