< Genesis 19 >
1 And the two angels came to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom; and Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them; and he fell down on his face to the earth;
Hlaem pakhat vaengah puencawn rhoi loh Sodom a pha rhoi. Te vaengah Lot te Sodom vongka ah ngol. Lot loh a hmuh vaengah amih rhoi doe ham thoo tih a mikhmai neh lai la bakop thuk.
2 and he said: 'Behold now, my lords, turn aside, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your way.' And they said: 'Nay; but we will abide in the broad place all night.'
Te phoeiah, “Ka boei aw, na sal im la ha phael mai dae ne. Rhaeh lamtah na kho sil rhoi dae. Na thoo vetih na longpuei ah na cet dam bitni,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Pawh, toltung ah ka rhaeh rhoi bitni,” a ti rhoi.
3 And he urged them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
Tedae amih rhoi te tlal a hloep dongah anih taengla hoii uh tih a im ah kun uh. Amih rhoi ham buhkoknah a saii vaengah vaidamding te a kaeng pah tih a caak uh.
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.
Tedae a yalh uh hlan ah khopuei hlang Sodom rhoek ca neh camoe patong la pilnam boeih loh a dik a noi duela im a vael uh.
5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him: 'Where are the men that came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.'
Te phoeiah Lot te a khue uh tih, “Khoyin ah nang taengla aka lo hlang rhoi te ta? Amih rhoi te ka ming uh van ham kaimih taengla han khuen,” a ti nauh.
6 And Lot went out unto them to the door, and shut the door after him.
Tedae Lot te thohka la cet tih a hnukkah thohkhaih te a khaih.
7 And he said: 'I pray you, my brethren, do not so wickedly.
Te phoeiah, “Ka manuca rhoek thaehuet uh boel mai.
8 Behold now, I have two daughters that have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes; only unto these men do nothing; forasmuch as they are come under the shadow of my roof.'
Ka taengah canu panit om pueng he, te rhoi loh tongpa a ming rhoi moenih. Amih rhoi te nangmih taengla kang khuen pawn eh. Te vaengah amih rhoi te na mik loh then a ti bangla saii uh. Tedae hekah hlang rhoi taengah tah hno saii uh boeh. Ka tungpum hlipkhup la ha kun dongah he,” a ti nah.
9 And they said: 'Stand back.' And they said: 'This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs play the judge; now will we deal worse with thee, than with them.' And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and drew near to break the door.
Tedae, “Thoeih lah,” a ti uh. Te phoeiah, “Bakuep hamla hlang pakhat te halo tih lai a tloek tarha aya? Amih rhoi lakah namah te kan talh uh ve ne,” a ti uh. Te vaengah hlang te khaw, Lot te khaw khak a aep uh tih thohkhaih te boh ham thoeih uh.
10 But the men put forth their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and the door they shut.
Te vaengah im khuikah hlang rhoi loh kut a yueng uh tih Lot te amih taeng lamkah im khuila a doek rhoi phoeiah thohkhaih te tlup a khaih rhoi.
11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great; so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
Te vaengah im thohka kah hlang rhoek te tanoe kangham due mikdael neh a ngawn tih thohka hmuh ham khaw khobing uh.
12 And the men said unto Lot: 'Hast thou here any besides? son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whomsoever thou hast in the city; bring them out of the place;
Te phoeiah hlang rhoi loh Lot taengah, “Nang taengah ulae aka om pueng? Na cava neh na capa rhoek khaw, na canu rhoek neh khopuei khuikah namah hut boeih te he hmuen lamkah khuen laeh.
13 for we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxed great before the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.'
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah amih kah pangngawlnah loh rhoeng coeng tih hekah hmuen he phae ham BOEIPA loh kaimih n'tueih dongah khopuei he ka phae rhoi pawn ni,” a ti rhoi.
14 And Lot went out, and spoke unto his sons-in-law, who married his daughters, and said: 'Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy the city.' But he seemed unto his sons-in-law as one that jested.
Te dongah Lot te cet tih a canu rhoek kah a loh a cava rhoek taengah a thui pah vaengah, “Khopuei he BOEIPA loh a phae dongah hekah hmuen lamkah thoo uh lamtah cet uh laeh,” a ti nah. Tedae a cava rhoek kah mikhmuh ah nueihbu bangla a om pah.
15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying: 'Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters that are here; lest thou be swept away in the iniquity of the city.'
Tedae mincang a pha vaengah puencawn rhoi loh Lot te a tanolh rhoi tih, “Thoo lamtah na yuu khaw, na canu aka om rhoi he khuen laeh. Khopuei kathaesainah dongah na khoengvoep ve,” a ti nah.
16 But he lingered; and the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him. And they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
Te vaengah uelh tih hlang rhoek te amah kut, a yuu kut neh a canu rhoi kah kut khaw a hlaengtang uh. BOEIPA kah thinphatnah he anih soah a om dongah anih te a khuen tih khopuei vongvoel ah duem uh.
17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said: 'Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the Plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be swept away.'
Amih te poeng la a khuen neh amih taengah, “Na hinglu te yong puei laeh. Na hnuk paelki boeh. Vannaem takuem ah pai boeh, tlang la yong laeh, na khoengvoep ve,” a ti nah.
18 And Lot said unto them: 'Oh, not so, my lord;
Tedae Lot loh amih rhoi taengah, “Pawh ka Boeipa bet ca mah.
19 behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shown unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest the evil overtake me, and I die.
Na sal he na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang tih na sitlohnah te na rhoengsak dongah ka hinglu hing sak ham kai taengah nan saii coeng. Tedae kai he tlang daengla yong ham tah ka coeng oeh pawh. Yoethae loh kai m'puei vetih ka duek ve.
20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one; oh, let me escape thither — is it not a little one? — and my soul shall live.'
Tahae ah ke kah khopuei la rhaelrham ham yoei ta ke. Te dongah anih ke yiit cakhaw pahoi ka yong mai eh. Anih te ka hinglu aka hing sak ham yiit pawt maco?,” a ti nah.
21 And he said unto him: 'See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which thou hast spoken.
Te dongah anih te, “Hekah olka ham khaw na mikhmuhah kan paek vetih na thui khopuei te ka palet mahpawh.
22 Hasten thou, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither.' — Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. —
A loe la yong pahoi laeh, ke la na pawk hil pakhat khaw saii ham ka coeng thai moenih,” a ti nah. Te dongah khopuei ming khaw Zoar a sui.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot came unto Zoar.
Lot loh Zoar a pha vaengah khomik loh khohmuen ah thoeng coeng.
24 Then the LORD caused to rain upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh BOEIPA taengkah kat hmai te Sodom neh Gomorrah ah vaan lamkah a tlan sak.
25 and He overthrow those cities, and all the Plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
Te dongah tekah khopuei rhoek neh vannaem boeih khaw, khopuei kah khosa kho boeih neh diklai toian khaw a palet.
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Tedae Lot yuu loh a hnuk a paelki dongah lungkaeh tung la poeh.
27 And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD.
Abraham tah mincang ah BOEIPA mikhmuh kah a pai nah hmuen la pahoi hlah uh.
28 And he looked out toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the Plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.
Sodom neh Gomorrah ben kah, vannaem khohmuen phai boeih te a dan thuk vaengah hmailing hmaikhu bangla diklai hmaikhu a thoeng te lawt a hmuh.
29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the Plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt.
Tedae Pathen loh vannaem kah khopuei a phae vaengah Pathen loh Abraham te a poek. Te dongah Lot te a paletnah khui lamloh a khuen. Te phoeiah Lot loh kho a sak nah khopuei te a palet.
30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar; and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
Te dongah Lot te Zoar lamkah nong tih tlang ah kho a sak. Te vaengah a canu panit te khaw amah taengah om. Zoar ah khosak ham a rhih dongah a canu rhoi khaw lungko khuiah om uh.
31 And the first-born said unto the younger: 'Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth.
Te vaengah a caming loh canoi la, “A pa he patong coeng tih diklai pum kah khosing la mamih rhoi taengah aka kun ham hlang khaw diklai ah om voelpawh.
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.'
Halo, a pa ke misurtui tul sih lamtah a taengah yalh sih. Te phoeiah a pa neh tiingan hing sak sih,” a ti nah.
33 And they made their father drink wine that night. And the first-born went in, and lay with her father; and he knew not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Te dongah a napa te amah tekah khoyin ah misurtui a tul rhoi. Te vaengah a caming kun tih a napa taengah yalh dae me vaengah yalh tih me vaengah a thoh khaw ming pawh.
34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the first-born said unto the younger: 'Behold, I lay yesternight with my father. Let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.'
Tekah a vuen ah khaw caming loh canoi taengah, “Hlaemyin ah a pa taengla ka yalh coeng. Tihnin hlaem ah misurtui tul bal sih. Paan lamtah a taengah yalh van. A pa neh tiingan khaw hing sak sih,” a ti nah.
35 And they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose, and lay with him; and he knew not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Amah tekah hlaem ah khaw a napa te misurtui koep a tul rhoi tih canoi loh a kun thil. A taengah yalh dae me vaengah yalh tih me vaengah a thoh khaw ming pawh.
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
Te dongah Lot canu rhoi te a napa loh a vawn sak.
37 And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab — the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
Te phoeiah caming loh capa a cun tih a ming te Moab a sui dongah tihnin due Moab rhoek kah a napa la om.
38 And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi — the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
Canoi long khaw capa a cun van tih a ming te Benammi a sui dongah tihnin due Ammon ca rhoek kah a napa la om.
