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.
Ingilosi ezimbili zasezifika eSodoma sekuhlwile. LoLothi wayehlezi esangweni leSodoma. Kwathi uLothi ezibona, wasukuma ukuzihlangabeza, wathi mbo ngobuso emhlabathini;
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.
wasesithi: Khangelani-ke makhosi ami, ngicela liphendukele endlini yenceku yenu, lilale ubusuku, ligeze inyawo zenu, beselivuka ngovivi, lihambe indlela yenu. Zathi-ke: Hatshi, kodwa sizalala endleleni.
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.
Wasezincenga kakhulu zaze zaphendukela kuye zangena endlini yakhe; wazenzela idili, wapheka isinkwa esingelamvubelo, zasezisidla.
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.
Zingakalali, amadoda omuzi, amadoda eSodoma, azingelezela indlu, kusukela komutsha kusiya komdala, bonke abantu bevela ephethelweni lomuzi.
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.
Asembiza uLothi athi kuye: Angaphi amadoda afike kuwe lobubusuku? Akhuphele phandle kithi ukuze siwazi.
6 Then Lot went out at the doore vnto them, and shut the doore after him,
ULothi wasephumela kuwo emnyango, wavala umnyango ngemva kwakhe.
7 And said, I pray you, my brethren, do not so wickedly.
Wathi: Ngiyacela bazalwane, lingenzi okubi.
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.
Khangelani-ke, ngilamadodakazi amabili, angakazi indoda; ake ngilikhuphele wona, beselisenza kuwo njengokuhle emehlweni enu; kodwa kulamadoda lingenzi lutho, ngoba yikho engene emthunzini wophahla lwami.
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.
Kodwa athi: Xekela le. Athi njalo: Yena lo yedwa wafika engowezizwe, kambe ngeqiniso angaba ngumahluleli? Khathesi sizakwenza okubi kuwe okwedlula wona. Acindezela kakhulu indoda uLothi, asondela ukuze afohloze isivalo.
10 But the men put forth their hand and pulled Lot into the house to them and shut to ye doore.
Kodwa lawomadoda elula isandla sawo, amngenisa uLothi kuwo endlini, avala umnyango.
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.
Asetshaya amadoda ayesemnyango wendlu ngobuphofu, kusukela komncinyane kusiya komkhulu, aze adinwa yikudinga umnyango.
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.
Amadoda asesithi kuLothi: Useselobani lapha? Umkhwenyana lamadodana akho lamadodakazi akho, laye wonke olaye emzini, mkhuphe kulindawo,
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.
ngoba sizabhubhisa lindawo, ngoba isikhalo sabo sikhulu phambi kweNkosi; njalo iNkosi isithumile ukuthi siyibhubhise.
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.
ULothi wasephuma, wakhuluma labakhwenyana bakhe ababezathatha amadodakazi akhe, wathi: Sukumani liphume kulindawo; ngoba iNkosi izabhubhisa umuzi. Kodwa waba njengosomayo emehlweni abakhwenyana bakhe.
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.
Kwathi emadabukakusa, ingilosi zamcindezela uLothi, zisithi: Suka, uthathe umkakho lamadodakazi akho womabili atholakalayo, hlezi ubhujiswe ebubini bomuzi.
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.
Kodwa esazilazila, amadoda abamba isandla sakhe, lesandla somkakhe, lesandla samadodakazi akhe womabili, ngoba iNkosi ilomusa kuye, asemkhupha, ambeka ngaphandle komuzi.
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.
Kwasekusithi esebakhuphele ngaphandle, yathi: Baleka ngenxa yempilo yakho, ungakhangeli ngemva kwakho, ungemi egcekeni lonke; balekela entabeni hlezi ubhujiswe.
18 And Lot saide vnto them, Not so, I pray thee, my Lord.
ULothi wasesithi kuwo: Kakungabi njalo, Nkosi yami.
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.
Khangela-ke, inceku yakho ithole umusa emehlweni akho, ukhulisile isihawu sakho, osenze kimi, ukugcina uphila umphefumulo wami; kodwa mina ngingeke ngiphephele entabeni, hlezi ububi bunamathele kimi, besengisifa.
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?
Khangela-ke, lumuzi useduze ukubalekela kuwo; futhi umncinyane. Ngicela ngibalekele kuwo (kambe kawumncinyane?) lomphefumulo wami uphile.
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.
Yasisithi kuye: Khangela, ngibemukele ubuso bakho lakulolu udaba, ukuze ngingawuchithi umuzi okhulume ngawo.
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.
Phangisa, balekela kuwo; ngoba ngingeze ngenza ulutho uze ufike kuwo. Ngakho babiza ibizo lomuzi ngokuthi yiZowari.
23 The sunne did rise vpon the earth, when Lot entred into Zoar.
Ilanga laseliphumile phezu komhlaba lapho uLothi engena eZowari.
24 Then the Lord rained vpon Sodom and vpon Gomorah brimstone, and fire from the Lord out of heauen,
INkosi yasinisa phezu kweSodoma laphezu kweGomora isibabule lomlilo, kuvela eNkosini kuvela emazulwini.
25 And ouerthrewe those cities and all the plaine, and all the inhabitants of the cities; and that that grewe vpon the earth.
Yasibhubhisa leyomizi legceke lonke, labo bonke ababehlala emizini, lokuhlumayo komhlaba.
26 Now his wife behind him looked backe, and she became a pillar of salt.
Kodwa umkakhe wakhangela emuva engemuva kwakhe, wasesiba yinsika yetshwayi.
27 And Abraham rising vp earely in ye morning went to the place, where he had stand before the Lord,
UAbrahama wasevuka ekuseni kakhulu, waya endaweni lapho ayemi khona phambi kweNkosi.
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.
Wasekhangela phansi ngaseSodoma leGomora langasemhlabathini wonke wegceke, wabona, njalo khangela, intuthu yathunqa emhlabeni njengentuthu yesithando.
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.
Kwasekusithi uNkulunkulu esebhubhisile imizi yegceke uNkulunkulu wamkhumbula uAbrahama, wamkhokhela uLothi emkhupha phakathi kwencithakalo, mhla ebhubhisa imizi ayehlala kuyo uLothi.
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.
ULothi wasesenyuka esuka eZowari, wahlala entabeni, lamadodakazi akhe womabili laye, ngoba wayesesaba ukuhlala eZowari; wahlala obhalwini, yena lamadodakazi akhe womabili.
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.
Endala yasisithi kwencinyane: Ubaba usemdala, njalo kakulandoda emhlabeni ukungena kithi, ngokwendlela yomhlaba wonke.
32 Come, wee will make our father drinke wine, and lie with him, that we may preserue seede of our father.
Woza simnathise ubaba iwayini, silale laye sigcine iphila inzalo evela kubaba.
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.
Asemnathisa uyise iwayini ngalobobusuku; endala yasingena yalala loyise, futhi kakwazanga ekulaleni kwayo lekusukeni kwayo.
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.
Kwasekusithi ngosuku olulandelayo endala yathi kwencinyane: Khangela, bengilele lobaba ngobusuku obedlulileyo; asimnathise iwayini langalobubusuku, ubusungena ulale laye, ukuze sigcine iphila inzalo evela kubaba.
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.
Asemnathisa uyise iwayini langalobobusuku; lencinyane yasukuma yalala laye, futhi kakwazanga ekulaleni kwayo lekusukeni kwayo.
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with childe by their father.
Ngokunjalo amadodakazi womabili kaLothi athatha izisu kuyise.
37 And the elder bare a sonne, and she called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites vnto this day.
Endala yasizala indodana, yayitha ibizo yathi nguMowabi; lowo nguyise wamaMowabi kuze kube lamuhla.
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.
Lencinyane layo yazala indodana, yayitha ibizo yathi nguBenami; lowo nguyise wabantwana bakoAmoni kuze kube lamuhla.
