< 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.
Ní àṣálẹ́, àwọn angẹli méjì sì wá sí ìlú Sodomu, Lọti sì jókòó ní ẹnu ibodè ìlú. Bí ó sì ti rí wọn, ó sì dìde láti pàdé wọn, ó kí wọn, ó sì foríbalẹ̀ fún wọn.
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.”
Ó wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin olúwa mi, èmi bẹ̀ yín, ẹ yà sí ilé ìránṣẹ́ yín kí ẹ sì wẹ ẹsẹ̀ yín, kí n sì gbà yín lálejò, ẹ̀yin ó sì dìde ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀ láti máa bá ìrìnàjò yín lọ.” Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Rárá o, àwa yóò dúró ní ìgboro ní òru òní.”
3 But Lot insisted, and they went with him to his house. He made them a meal and baked bread for them to eat.
Ṣùgbọ́n Lọti rọ̀ wọ́n gidigidi tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí wọ́n gbà láti bá a lọ sì ilé. Ó sì ṣe àsè fún wọn, ó sì dín àkàrà aláìwú fún wọ́n, wọ́n sì jẹ.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n kí ó tó di pé wọ́n lọ sùn, àwọn ọkùnrin ìlú Sodomu tọmọdé tàgbà yí ilé náà ká.
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.”
Wọ́n pe Lọti pé, “Àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó wọ̀ sí ilé rẹ lálẹ́ yìí ń kọ́? Mú wọn jáde fún wa, kí a le ní ìbálòpọ̀ pẹ̀lú wọn.”
6 Lot went out to talk to them in the doorway, closing the door behind him.
Lọti sì jáde láti pàdé wọn, ó sì ti ìlẹ̀kùn lẹ́yìn rẹ̀ bí ó ti jáde.
7 “My friends, please don't do such an evil thing!
Ó sì wí pé, “Rárá, ẹ̀yin ará mi, ẹ má ṣe ṣe ohun búburú yìí,
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.”
kíyèsi i, mo ní ọmọbìnrin méjì tí kò mọ ọkùnrin rí, ẹ jẹ́ kí n mú wọn tọ̀ yín wá kí ẹ sì ṣe ohun tí ẹ fẹ́ pẹ̀lú wọn. Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ má ṣe ṣe àwọn ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí ní ibi kan nítorí wọ́n wá wọ̀ lábẹ́ ààbò ní ilé mi.”
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.
Wọ́n sì wí fún pé, “Bì sẹ́yìn fún wa. Èyí yìí wá ṣe àtìpó láàrín wa, òun sì fẹ́ ṣe onídàájọ́! Aburú tí a ó fi ṣe ọ́ yóò pọ̀ ju tí wọn lọ.” Wọn rọ́ lu Lọti, wọ́n sì súnmọ́ ọn láti fọ́ ìlẹ̀kùn.
10 But the men inside reached out and grabbed Lot, dragged him inside, and slammed the door shut.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọkùnrin náà nawọ́ fa Lọti wọlé, wọ́n sì ti ìlẹ̀kùn.
11 Then they made all the men in the doorway, young and old, suddenly go blind so they couldn't find the door.
Wọ́n sì bu ìfọ́jú lu àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó wà ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé náà, àti èwe àti àgbà: wọ́n kò sì rí ẹnu-ọ̀nà mọ́.
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,
Àwọn ọkùnrin náà sì wí fún Lọti pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ó ní ẹlòmíràn ní ìlú yìí bí? Àna rẹ ọkùnrin, àwọn ọmọ rẹ lọ́kùnrin àti lóbìnrin, tàbí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ìwọ ní ní ìlú yìí, kó wọn jáde kúrò ní ibí yìí,
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.”
nítorí a ó pa ìlú yìí run, nítorí igbe iṣẹ́ búburú wọn ń dí púpọ̀ níwájú Olúwa, Olúwa sì rán wa láti pa á run.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Lọti jáde, ó sì wí fún àwọn àna rẹ̀ ọkùnrin tí ó ti bá jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ láti fẹ́ àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ ṣe kánkán, kí ẹ jáde ní ìlú yìí, nítorí Olúwa fẹ́ pa ìlú yìí run!” Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọkọ ọmọ rẹ̀ wọ̀nyí rò pé àwàdà ló ń ṣe.
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.”
Ní àfẹ̀mọ́júmọ́, àwọn angẹli náà rọ Lọti pé, “Ṣe wéré, mú aya rẹ àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin rẹ méjèèjì tí ó wà níhìn-ín, àìṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, ìwọ yóò parun pẹ̀lú ìlú yìí nígbà tí wọ́n bá ń jìyà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.”
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.
Nígbà tí ó ń jáfara, àwọn ọkùnrin náà nawọ́ mú un lọ́wọ́, wọ́n sì nawọ́ mú aya rẹ̀ náà lọ́wọ́ àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ méjèèjì, wọ́n sì mú wọn jáde sẹ́yìn odi ìlú, nítorí Olúwa ṣàánú fún wọn.
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!”
Ní kété tí wọ́n mú wọn jáde sẹ́yìn odi tán, ọ̀kan nínú wọn wí pé, “Sá àsálà fún ẹ̀mí rẹ! Má ṣe wo ẹ̀yìn rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ìwọ kí ó má ṣe dúró ní gbogbo pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀! Sá àsálà lọ sí orí òkè, kí ìwọ ó má ba ṣègbé!”
18 “Please sir, not that!” Lot replied.
Ṣùgbọ́n Lọti wí fún wọn pé, “Rárá, ẹ̀yin Olúwa mi, ẹ jọ̀wọ́!
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!
Nígbà tí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ti rí ojúrere rẹ, tí o sì ti fi àánú rẹ hàn nípa gbígba ẹ̀mí mi là, èmi kò le è sálọ sórí òkè, kí búburú yìí má ba à lé mi bá, kí n sì kú.
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.”
Wò ó, ìlú kékeré kan nìyí ní tòsí láti sá sí: jẹ́ kí n sálọ síbẹ̀, ìlú kékeré ha kọ́? Ẹ̀mí mi yóò sì yè.”
21 “Fine—I'll do as you ask,” he replied. “I won't destroy this town you've mentioned.
Ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ó dára, mo gba ẹ̀bẹ̀ rẹ. Èmi kì yóò run ìlú náà tí ìwọ sọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀.
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.)
Tètè! Sálọ síbẹ̀, nítorí èmi kò le ṣe ohun kan àyàfi tí ó bá dé ibẹ̀.” (ìdí nìyí tí a fi ń pe ìlú náà ní Soari).
23 The sun had already risen by the time Lot reached Zoar.
Nígbà tí Lọti yóò fi dé ìlú Soari, oòrùn ti yọ.
24 Then the Lord rained down fire and burning sulfur from the sky on Sodom and Gomorrah.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa rọ̀jò iná àti sulfuru sórí Sodomu àti Gomorra láti ọ̀run lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa wá.
25 He completely destroyed the towns and all their inhabitants, the whole valley and everything growing there.
Báyìí ni ó run àwọn ìlú náà àti gbogbo ilẹ̀ pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà ní ìlú ńlá ńlá wọ̀n-ọn-nì àti ohun gbogbo tí ó hù jáde nílẹ̀.
26 But Lot's wife, who was lagging behind, looked back, and she turned into a pillar of salt.
Ṣùgbọ́n aya Lọti bojú wo ẹ̀yìn, ó sì di ọ̀wọ́n iyọ̀.
27 Abraham got up early the next morning and went back to where he had stood before the Lord.
Ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, Abrahamu sì dìde ó sì padà lọ sí ibi tí ó gbé dúró níwájú Olúwa.
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.
Ó sì wo ìhà Sodomu àti Gomorra àti àwọn ilẹ̀ pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, ó sì rí èéfín tí ń ti ibẹ̀ jáde bí èéfín iná ìléru.
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.
Ọlọ́run sì rántí Abrahamu, nígbà tí ó run ìlú pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ wọ̀n-ọn-nì tan, ó sì mú Lọti jáde kúrò láàrín ìparun náà, tí ó kọlu ìlú tí Lọti ti gbé.
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.
Lọti àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ obìnrin méjèèjì sì kúrò ní Soari, wọ́n sì ń lọ gbé ní orí òkè ní inú ihò àpáta, nítorí ó bẹ̀rù láti gbé ní ìlú Soari.
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.
Ní ọjọ́ kan, èyí ẹ̀gbọ́n sọ fún àbúrò rẹ̀ pé, “Baba wa ti dàgbà, kò sì sí ọkùnrin kankan ní agbègbè yìí tí ìbá bá wa lòpọ̀, bí ìṣe gbogbo ayé.
32 Come on, let's get our father drunk with wine and sleep with him so we can keep his family line going.”
Wá, jẹ́ kí a mú baba wa mu ọtí yó, kí ó ba à le bá wa lòpọ̀, kí àwa kí ó lè bí ọmọ, kí ìran wa má ba à parẹ́.”
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.
Ní òru ọjọ́ náà, wọ́n rọ baba wọn ní ọtí yó. Èyí ẹ̀gbọ́n sì wọlé tọ̀ ọ́, ó sì bá a lòpọ̀, baba wọn kò mọ̀ ìgbà tí ó sùn ti òun àti ìgbà tí ó dìde.
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.”
Ní ọjọ́ kejì èyí ẹ̀gbọ́n wí fún àbúrò rẹ̀ pé, “Ní àná mo sùn ti baba mi. Jẹ́ kí a tún wọlé tọ̀ ọ́, kí a lè ní irú-ọmọ láti ọ̀dọ̀ baba wa.”
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n tún fún baba wọn ní ọtí mu yó ni alẹ́ ọjọ́ náà, èyí àbúrò náà sì wọlé tọ̀ ọ́ lọ, ó sì bá a lòpọ̀, kò sì tún mọ ìgbà tí ó wọlé sùn ti òun tàbí ìgbà tí ó dìde.
36 This is how both Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father.
Àwọn ọmọbìnrin Lọti méjèèjì sì lóyún fún baba wọn.
37 The older daughter had a son, and she called him Moab. He is the ancestor of the Moabites of today.
Èyí ẹ̀gbọ́n sì bí ọmọkùnrin, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Moabu. Òun ni baba ńlá àwọn ará Moabu lónìí.
38 The younger daughter had a son too, and she called him Ben-ammi. He is the ancestor of the Ammonites of today.
Èyí àbúrò náà sì bí ọmọkùnrin, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Bene-Ami. Òun ni baba ńlá àwọn ará Ammoni lónìí.
