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.
Gbe ma gbe ke ƒe fiẽ la, mawudɔla eveawo va ɖo Sodom ƒe agbo nu, eye Lot nɔ afi ma ɣe ma ɣi. Esi Lot kpɔ wo la, etsi tsitre be yeakpe wo, eye wòdo dzaa na wo.
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.
Egblɔ na wo be, “Nye amegãwo, miva dze gbɔnye le zã sia me, eye miaklɔ miaƒe afɔwo ŋu. Miate ŋu ayi miaƒe mɔzɔzɔ dzi etsɔ ŋdi kanya.” Wogblɔ be, “Ao, akpe na wò, míadzudzɔ le ablɔ dzi le afi sia ko.”
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.
Ke Lot ƒoe ɖe wo nu va se ɖe esime woyi eƒe aƒe me, eye wòɖo kplɔ̃ gã aɖe na wo kple abolo si wowɔ teti kple amɔ maʋamaʋã. Esi woɖu nu vɔ,
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.
eye wodi be yewoaɖo xɔ la, Sodom ŋutsuwo, ɖekakpuiwo kple ame tsitsiwo siaa tso dua ƒe akpa sia akpa va ƒo xlã aƒe la,
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.
eye woɖe gbe na Lot be, “Kplɔ ŋutsu mawo vɛ na mí be míadɔ kpli wo.”
6 Then Lot went out at the doore vnto them, and shut the doore after him,
Lot tu ʋɔ ɖe amedzroawo nu, eye wòyi wo gbɔ
7 And said, I pray you, my brethren, do not so wickedly.
ɖaɖe kuku na wo be, “Nɔvinyewo, migawɔ nu baɖa sia tɔgbi o.
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.
Mikpɔ ɖa, ɖetugbi eve siwo menya ŋutsu haɖe o la le asinye. Maɖe asi le wo ŋu na mi be miawɔ nu sia nu si adze mia ŋu la kpli wo. Ke migawɔ naneke amedzro siawo ya o, elabena nye dzikpɔkpɔ te wole.”
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.
Wodo ɣli sesĩe be, “He ɖa le afi ma! Ame kae nèbu be yenye? Míeɖe mɔ na Lot be wòanɔ mía dome abe amedzro ene, ke azɔ la, ele didim be yeagblɔ nu si míawo míawɔ la na mí! Míawɔ nu vevi wò wu nu si míawɔ ame mawo.” Wolũ ɖe Lot dzi, eye wode asi ʋɔtrua gbagbã me.
10 But the men put forth their hand and pulled Lot into the house to them and shut to ye doore.
Ke mawudɔla eveawo ʋu ʋɔa, do asi ɖa, he Lot va xɔa me, tu ʋɔa,
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.
eye wona Sodomtɔwo ƒe ŋkuwo dzi tsyɔ sẽe, ale be womegate ŋu kpɔ ʋɔtru la o.
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.
Mawudɔlawo bia Lot be, “Wò ƒometɔ kawoe le du sia me? Na woawo ŋutɔ, wo viŋutsuwo, wo vinyɔnuwo, wo toyɔviwo kple lɔ̃xoyɔviwo kple woƒe ƒometɔ bubuawo katã nadzo le du sia me,
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.
elabena míele du sia tsrɔ̃ ge keŋkeŋ. Nutsotso tso teƒe sia ŋu va ɖo dziƒo, eya ta Yehowa ɖo mí ɖa be míatsrɔ̃e.”
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.
Nu sia na Lot ɖe abla yi ɖagblɔ na viawo srɔ̃wo be, “Netsɔ na mi miado go le du sia me, elabena Yehowa le du sia tsrɔ̃ ge.” Ke toawo bui ko abe ahatso kam wòle ene.
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.
Le fɔŋli la, mawudɔlawo gblɔ na Lot be, “Netsɔ na wò, nàkplɔ srɔ̃wò kple viwò nyɔnuvi eve siwo le afi sia la, eye miasi adzo, ne menye nenema o la, miatsrɔ̃ le du sia tsɔtsrɔ̃ me.”
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.
Esi Lot nɔ hehem ɖe megbe la, mawudɔlawo lé eya ŋutɔ, srɔ̃a kple viawo ƒe alɔnu, eye wohe wo yi dua godo, afi si woanɔ dedie le, elabena Yehowa kpɔ nublanui na wo.
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.
Mawudɔlawo gblɔ na wo be, “Miɖe abla miaɖe miaƒe agbe, eye migakpɔ megbe o. Misi yi toawo dzi, miganɔ gbadzaƒe le afi sia o. Ne menye nenema o la, miatsrɔ̃.”
18 And Lot saide vnto them, Not so, I pray thee, my Lord.
Lot gblɔ na wo be, “O, nye Aƒetɔwo, meɖe kuku na mi.
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.
Esi mieve nunye alea, eye mieɖe nye agbe ta la, mina masi ayi du sue kemɛ ɖa me boŋ, elabena mele vɔvɔ̃m be dzɔgbevɔ̃e aɖe ava ɖi kpem le toawo dzi.
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?
Kpɔ ɖa, du la medidi tso afi sia kura o, eye du sue aɖe koe. Meɖe kuku mina mayi afi ma boŋ. Miekpɔ ale si wònye du sue aɖe oa? Matsi agbe le afi ma.”
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.
Mawudɔlawo dometɔ ɖeka gblɔ be, “Enyo, mexɔ wò nya la, eye nyematsrɔ̃ du sue ma o.
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.
Gake miɖe abla! Elabena nyemate ŋu awɔ naneke o, va se ɖe esime miaɖo afi ma.” (Tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, woyɔa du sue ma be Zoar ɖe ƒe suẽnyenye ta.)
23 The sunne did rise vpon the earth, when Lot entred into Zoar.
Ɣe nɔ dzedzem esi Lot ɖo Zoar.
24 Then the Lord rained vpon Sodom and vpon Gomorah brimstone, and fire from the Lord out of heauen,
Tete Yehowa na dzo kple aŋɔ xɔdzo dza tso dziƒo ɖe Sodom kple Gomora dzi,
25 And ouerthrewe those cities and all the plaine, and all the inhabitants of the cities; and that that grewe vpon the earth.
gblẽ wo kple du gã kple du sue siwo nɔ gbadzaƒe la, eye amewo, atiwo kple lãwo siaa tsrɔ̃ keŋkeŋ.
26 Now his wife behind him looked backe, and she became a pillar of salt.
Ke Lot srɔ̃ nye kɔ kpɔ megbe, eye wòtrɔ zu dzekɔ.
27 And Abraham rising vp earely in ye morning went to the place, where he had stand before the Lord,
Gbe ma gbe ŋdi la, Abraham fɔ kaba, eye wòɖe abla yi teƒe si wòtsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa ƒe ŋkume le la.
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.
Ekpɔ Sodom kple Gomora lɔƒo ɖa, eye wòkpɔ be dzudzɔ nɔ tutum kɔlikɔli tso afi ma abe kpodzo gã aɖe me wònɔ dodom tso ene.
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.
Ale Mawu se Abraham ƒe kukuɖeɖe, ena Lot nɔ dedie, eye wòɖee tso ku kple tsɔtsrɔ̃ siwo ƒo xlã Sodom, Gomora kple du siwo ƒo xlã wo la me.
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.
Emegbe la, Lot dzo le Zoar, elabena enɔ afi ma tɔwo vɔ̃m, eye wòyi ɖanɔ agado aɖe me le toawo dzi kple via nyɔnuvi eveawo.
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.
Gbe ɖeka la, nyɔnuvi tsitsitɔ gblɔ na nɔvia be, “Ŋutsu aɖeke kura mele anyigba sia ƒe akpa sia lɔƒo si mía fofo alɔ̃ be míaɖe o. Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, esusɔ vie mía fofo natsi akpa na vidzidzi.
32 Come, wee will make our father drinke wine, and lie with him, that we may preserue seede of our father.
Na míana mía fofo nano wain amu, eye wòadɔ mía gbɔ, ale be míate ŋu adzi vi, eye míaƒe dzidzime nu matso o.”
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.
Ale wona wain wo fofo wòno hemu. Nyɔnuvi tsitsitɔ yi ɖamlɔ fofoa gbɔ, eye fofoa dɔ kplii, gake fofoa menya o.
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.
Le ŋdi me la, nyɔnuvi tsitsitɔ gblɔ na nɔvia be, “Medɔ fofonye gbɔ le zã si va yi la me. Na míagana ahae wòagano amu, eye wò hã nàyi aɖamlɔ egbɔ, ale be míaƒe ƒome la nadzi ɖe edzi.”
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.
Ale wona wo fofo gamu aha gbe ma gbe fiẽ hã, eye nyɔnuvi suetɔ hã yi ɖamlɔ egbɔ. Fofoa dɔ eya hã gbɔ, ke fofoa menya o.
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with childe by their father.
Ale nɔvi eveawo fɔ fu na wo fofo Lot.
37 And the elder bare a sonne, and she called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites vnto this day.
Nyɔnuvi tsitsitɔ dzi ŋutsuvi, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Moab; eyae nye Moab dukɔa tɔgbui.
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.
Nyɔnuvi suetɔ hã dzi ŋutsuvi, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Ben Ami; eyae nye Amonitɔwo tɔgbui.
