Genesis 19
1 And in the euening there came two Angels to Sodom: and Lot sate at the gate of Sodom, and Lot sawe them, and rose vp to meete them, and he bowed himselfe with his face to the ground.
黃昏時，那兩位使者來到了索多瑪，羅特正坐在索多瑪城門口，他一看見他們，就起身前去迎接，俯伏在地，
2 And he saide, See my Lords, I pray you turne in nowe into your seruants house, and tarie all night, and wash your feete, and ye shall rise vp early and goe your wayes. Who saide, Nay, but we will abide in the streete all night.
說：「請二位先生下到你們僕人家中住一夜，洗洗你們的腳；明天早起，再趕你們的路。」他們答說：「不，我們願在街上過宿。」
3 Then he preassed vpon them earnestly, and they turned in to him, and came to his house, and he made them a feast, and did bake vnleauened bread, and they did eate.
但因羅特極力邀請，他們才轉身跟著進了他的家。羅特為他們備辦了宴席，烤了無酵餅；他們就吃了。
4 But before they went to bed, the men of the citie, euen the men of Sodom compassed the house rounde about from the yong euen to the olde, all the people from all quarters.
他們尚未就寢，閤城的人即索多瑪男人，不論年輕年老的，沒有例外，全都來圍住他的家，
5 Who crying vnto Lot said to him, Where are the men, which came to thee this night? bring them out vnto vs that we may knowe them.
向羅特喊說：「今晚來到你這裏的那兩個男人在那裏﹖給我們領出來，叫我們好認識他們。」
6 Then Lot went out at the doore vnto them, and shut the doore after him,
羅特就出來，隨手關上門，到門口見他們，
7 And said, I pray you, my brethren, do not so wickedly.
說：「我的弟兄們! 請你們切不可作惡。
8 Beholde nowe, I haue two daughters, which haue not knowen man: them will I bring out now vnto you, and doe to them as seemeth you good: onely vnto these men doe nothing: for therefore are they come vnder the shadowe of my roofe.
看，我有兩個女兒，尚未認識過男人，容我領出她們來，任憑你們對待她們；只是這兩個男人，既然來到舍下，請你們不要對他們行事。」
9 Then they said, Away hence, and they said, He is come alone as a stranger, and shall he iudge and rule? we will nowe deale worse with thee then with them. So they preassed sore vpon Lot himselfe, and came to breake the doore.
他們反說：「滾開! 」繼而說：「來這裏的這個外方人，居然做起判官來! 現在我們待你比他們還要厲害。」他們遂用力向羅特衝去，一齊向前要打破那門。
10 But the men put forth their hand and pulled Lot into the house to them and shut to ye doore.
那兩個人卻伸出手來，將羅特拉進屋內，關上了門；
11 Then they smote the men that were at the doore of the house with blindnes both small and great, so that they were wearie in seeking the doore.
又使那些在屋門口的男人，無論大小都迷了眼，找不著門口。
12 Then the men said vnto Lot, Whom hast thou yet here? either sonne in lawe, or thy sonnes, or thy daughters, or whatsoeuer thou hast in the citie, bring it out of this place.
那兩個人對羅特說：「你這裏還有什麼人﹖帶你的女婿、兒女，以及城中你所有的人，離開這地方，
13 For we will destroy this place, because the crye of them is great before the Lord, and the Lord hath sent vs to destroy it.
因為我們要毀滅這地方；由於在上主面前控告他們的聲音實在大，所以上主派遣我們來毀滅這地方。」
14 Then Lot went out and spake vnto his sonnes in lawe, which maried his daughters, and said, Arise, get you out of this place: for the Lord will destroy the citie: but he seemed to his sonnes in lawe as though he had mocked.
羅特遂出去，告訴要娶他女兒的兩個女婿說：「起來，離開這地方，因為上主要毀滅這城! 」但他的兩個女婿卻以為他在開玩笑。
15 And when the morning arose, the Angels hasted Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife and thy two daughters which are here, lest thou be destroyed in the punishment of the citie.
天一亮，兩位使者就催促羅特說：「起來，快領你的妻子和你這裏的兩個女兒逃走，免得你因這城的罪惡同遭滅亡。」
16 And as he prolonged the time, the men caught both him and his wife, and his two daughters by the hands (the Lord being mercifull vnto him) and they brought him foorth, and set him without the citie.
羅特仍遲延不走；但因為上主憐恤他，那兩個人就拉著他的手，他妻子的和他兩個女兒的手領出城外。
17 And when they had brought them out, the Angel said, Escape for thy life: looke not behinde thee, neither tarie thou in all the plaine: escape into ye mountaine, least thou be destroyed.
二人領他們到城外，其中一個說：「快快逃命，不要往後看，也不要在平原任何地方站住；該逃往山中，免得同遭滅亡。」
18 And Lot saide vnto them, Not so, I pray thee, my Lord.
羅特對他們說：「啊! 不，我主!
19 Behold now, thy seruant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercie, which thou hast shewed vnto me in sauing my life: and I cannot escape in the mountaine, least some euill take me, and I die.
你僕人既蒙你垂愛，又蒙你大顯仁慈，得以保全我的性命；但是現在我不能逃往山中，怕遇見災禍死去。
20 See nowe this citie hereby to flee vnto, which is a litle one: Oh let me escape thither: is it not a litle one, and my soule shall liue?
看這座城很近，容我逃往那裏，那只是一座小城；請容我逃往那裏；那不只是一座小城嗎﹖在那裏我可保全性命。」
21 Then he said vnto him, Beholde, I haue receiued thy request also concerning this thing, that I will not ouerthrow this citie, for the which thou hast spoken.
其中一個對他說：「好罷! 連在這事上我也顧全你的臉面，我必不消滅你提及的這座城。
22 Haste thee, saue thee there: for I can doe nothing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the citie was called Zoar.
你趕快逃往那裏，因為你不到那裏，我不能行事。」為此那城稱為左哈爾。
23 The sunne did rise vpon the earth, when Lot entred into Zoar.
羅特到了左哈爾時，太陽已升出地面；
24 Then the Lord rained vpon Sodom and vpon Gomorah brimstone, and fire from the Lord out of heauen,
上主遂使硫磺和火，從天上上主那裏，降於索多瑪和哈摩辣，
25 And ouerthrewe those cities and all the plaine, and all the inhabitants of the cities; and that that grewe vpon the earth.
毀滅了這幾座城市和整個平原，以及城中所有的居民和地上的草木。
26 Now his wife behind him looked backe, and she became a pillar of salt.
羅特的妻子因回頭觀看，立即變為鹽柱。
27 And Abraham rising vp earely in ye morning went to the place, where he had stand before the Lord,
亞巴郎清晨起來，到了以前他立在上主面前的地方，
28 And looking towarde Sodom and Gomorah and toward all the land of the plaine, behold, he sawe the smoke of the lande mounting vp as the smoke of a fornace.
向索多瑪和哈摩辣，以及整個平原一帶眺望，看見那地煙火上騰，也如燒窯一般。
29 But yet when God destroyed the cities of the plaine, God thought vpon Abraham, and sent Lot out from the middes of the destruction, when he ouerthrewe the cities, wherein Lot dwelled.
當天主毀滅平原諸城，消滅羅特所住的城市時，想起了亞巴郎，由滅亡中救了羅特。
30 Then Lot went vp from Zoar, and dwelt in the mountaine with his two daughters: for he feared to tarie in Zoar, but dwelt in a caue, he, and his two daughters.
羅特因為怕住在左哈爾，便與他的兩個女兒離開左哈爾，上了山住在那裏；他和兩個女兒同住在一個山洞裏。
31 And the elder saide vnto the yonger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth, to come in vnto vs after the maner of all ye earth.
長女對幼女說：「我們的父親已經老了，地上又沒有男人依照世界上的禮俗來與我們親近。
32 Come, wee will make our father drinke wine, and lie with him, that we may preserue seede of our father.
來讓我們用酒將父親灌醉，與他同睡：這樣我們可由父親傳生後代﹖」
33 So they made their father drinke wine that night, and the elder went and lay with her father: but he perceiued not, neither whe she lay downe, neither when she rose vp.
那天夜裏，她們就用酒將父親灌醉；長女遂進去與父親同睡；女兒幾時臥下，幾時起來，他都不知道。
34 And on the morowe the elder saide to the yonger, Behold, yester night lay I with my father: let vs make him drinke wine this night also, and goe thou and lie with him, that we may preserue seede of our father.
第二天，長女對幼女說：「看，昨夜我與父親同睡了，今夜我們再用酒灌醉他，你好進去與他同睡，由我們的父親傳生後代。」
35 So they made their father drinke wine that night also, and the yonger arose, and lay with him, but he perceiued not, when she lay downe, neither when she rose vp.
那天夜裏，她們又用酒將父親灌醉，幼女遂進去與他同睡；女兒幾時臥下，幾時起來，他都不知道。
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with childe by their father.
這樣，羅特的兩個女兒都由父親懷了孕。
37 And the elder bare a sonne, and she called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites vnto this day.
長女生了一個兒子，給他起名叫摩阿布，是現今摩阿人的始祖。
38 And the yonger bare a sonne also, and she called his name Ben-ammi: the same is the father of the Ammonites vnto this day.
幼女也生了一個兒子，給他起名叫本阿米，是現今阿孟子民的始祖。
