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.
De to Engle kom nu til Sodoma ved Aftenstid. Lot sad i Sodomas Port, og da han fik Øje paa dem, stod han op og gik dem i Møde, bøjede sig til Jorden
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.
og sagde: »Kære Herrer, tag dog ind og overnat i eders Træls Hus og tvæt eders Fødder; i Morgen tidlig kan I drage videre!« Men de sagde: »Nej, vi vil overnatte paa Gaden.«
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.
Da nødte han dem stærkt, og de tog ind i hans Hus; derpaa tilberedte han dem et Maaltid og bagte usyrede Kager, og de spiste.
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.
Men endnu før de havde lagt sig, stimlede Byens Folk, Indbyggerne i Sodoma, sammen omkring Huset, baade gamle og unge, alle uden Undtagelse,
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.
og de raabte til Lot: »Hvor er de Mænd, der kom til dig i Nat? Kom herud med dem, for at vi kan stille vor Lyst paa dem!«
6 Then Lot went out at the doore vnto them, and shut the doore after him,
Da gik Lot ud til dem i Porten, men Døren lukkede han efter sig.
7 And said, I pray you, my brethren, do not so wickedly.
Og han sagde: »Gør dog ikke noget ondt, mine Brødre!
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.
Se, jeg har to Døtre, der ikke har kendt Mand; dem vil jeg bringe ud til eder, og med dem kan I gøre, hvad I lyster; men disse Mænd maa I ikke gøre noget, siden de nu engang er kommet ind under mit Tags Skygge!«
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.
Men de sagde: »Bort med dig! Her er den ene Mand kommet og bor som fremmed, og nu vil han spille Dommer! Kom, lad os handle værre med ham end med dem!« Og de trængte ind paa Manden, paa Lot, og nærmede sig Døren for at sprænge den.
10 But the men put forth their hand and pulled Lot into the house to them and shut to ye doore.
Da rakte Mændene Haanden ud og trak Lot ind til sig og lukkede Døren;
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.
men Mændene uden for Porten til Huset slog de med Blindhed, baade store og smaa, saa de forgæves søgte at finde Porten.
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.
Derpaa sagde Mændene til Lot: »Hvem der ellers hører dig til her, dine Svigersønner, dine Sønner og Døtre, alle, som hører dig til i Byen, maa du føre bort fra dette Sted;
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.
thi vi staar i Begreb med at ødelægge Stedet her, fordi Skriget over dem er blevet saa stort for HERREN, at HERREN har sendt os for at ødelægge dem.«
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.
Da gik Lot ud og sagde til sine Svigersønner, der skulde ægte hans Døtre: »Staa op, gaa bort herfra, thi HERREN vil ødelægge Byen!« Men hans Svigersønner troede, at han drev Spøg med dem.
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.
Da Morgenen saa gryede, skyndede Englene paa Lot og sagde: »Tag din Hustru og dine to Døtre, som bor hos dig, og drag bort, for at du ikke skal rives bort ved Byens Syndeskyld!«
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.
Og da han tøvede, greb Mændene ham, hans Hustru og hans to Døtre ved Haanden, thi HERREN vilde skaane ham, og de førte ham bort og bragte ham i Sikkerhed uden for Byen.
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.
Og idet de førte dem uden for Byen, sagde de: »Det gælder dit Liv! Se dig ikke tilbage og stands ikke nogensteds i Jordanegnen, men red dig op i Bjergene, for at du ikke skal omkomme!«
18 And Lot saide vnto them, Not so, I pray thee, my Lord.
Men Lot sagde til dem: »Ak nej, Herre!
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.
Din Træl har jo fundet Naade for dine Øjne, og du har vist mig stor Godhed og frelst mit Liv; men jeg kan ikke naa op i Bjergene og undfly Ulykken; den indhenter mig saa jeg mister Livet.
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?
Se, den By der er nær nok til at jeg kan flygte derhen; den betyder jo ikke stort, lad mig redde mig derhen, den betyder jo ikke stort, og mit Liv er frelst!«
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.
Da svarede han: »Ogsaa i det Stykke har jeg bønhørt dig; jeg vil ikke ødelægge den By, du nævner;
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.
men red dig hurtigt derhen, thi jeg kan intet gøre, før du naar derhen!« Derfor kaldte man Byen Zoar.
23 The sunne did rise vpon the earth, when Lot entred into Zoar.
Da Solen steg op over Landet og Lot var naaet til Zoar,
24 Then the Lord rained vpon Sodom and vpon Gomorah brimstone, and fire from the Lord out of heauen,
lod HERREN Svovl og Ild regne over Sodoma og Gomorra fra HERREN, fra Himmelen;
25 And ouerthrewe those cities and all the plaine, and all the inhabitants of the cities; and that that grewe vpon the earth.
og han ødelagde disse Byer og hele Jordanegnen og alle Byernes Indbyggere og Landets Afgrøde.
26 Now his wife behind him looked backe, and she became a pillar of salt.
Men hans Hustru, som gik efter ham, saa sig tilbage og blev til en Saltstøtte.
27 And Abraham rising vp earely in ye morning went to the place, where he had stand before the Lord,
Næste Morgen, da Abraham gik hen til det Sted, hvor han havde staaet hos HERREN,
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.
og vendte sit Blik mod Sodoma og Gomorra og hele Jordanegnen, saa han Røg stige til Vejrs fra Landet som Røgen fra en Smelteovn.
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.
Da Gud tilintetgjorde Jordanegnens Byer, kom han Abraham i Hu og førte Lot ud af Ødelæggelsen, som han lod komme over de Byer, Lot boede i.
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.
Men Lot drog op fra Zoar og slog sig ned i Bjergene med sine Døtre, thi han turde ikke blive i Zoar; og han boede i en Hule med sine to Døtre.
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.
Da sagde den ældste til den yngste: »Vor Fader er gammel, og der findes ingen Mænd her i Landet, som kunde komme til os paa vanlig Vis.
32 Come, wee will make our father drinke wine, and lie with him, that we may preserue seede of our father.
Kom, lad os give vor Fader Vin at drikke og ligge hos ham for at faa Afkom ved vor Fader!«
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.
De gav ham da Vin at drikke samme Nat; og den ældste lagde sig hos sin Fader, og han sansede hverken, at hun lagde sig, eller at hun stod op.
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.
Næste Dag sagde den ældste til den yngste: »Jeg laa i Gaar Nat hos min Fader; nu vil vi ogsaa give ham Vin at drikke i Nat, og gaa du saa ind og læg dig hos ham, for at vi kan faa Afkom ved vor Fader!«
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.
Saa gav de atter den Nat deres Fader Vin at drikke, og den yngste lagde sig hos ham, og han sansede hverken, at hun lagde sig, eller at hun stod op.
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with childe by their father.
Saaledes blev begge Lots Døtre frugtsommelige ved deres Fader;
37 And the elder bare a sonne, and she called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites vnto this day.
og den ældste fødte en Søn, som hun kaldte Moab; han er Moabs Stamfader den Dag i Dag.
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.
Ligesaa fødte den yngste en Søn, som hun kaldte Ben-Ammi; han er Ammoniternes Stamfader den Dag i Dag.
