Genesis 19
1 AND there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
Nʼoge anyasị, ndị mmụọ ozi abụọ ahụ bịarutere Sọdọm. Lọt nọ ala nʼọnụ ụzọ ama obodo ahụ. Mgbe ọ hụrụ ha, o biliri jekwuru ha, hulata ihu ya nʼala.
2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, 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 ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
Ọ sịrị, “Ndị nwe m, batanụ nʼụlọ ohu unu. Unu nwere ike saa ụkwụ unu, nọọkwa ọnọdụ abalị. Chi bọọ, unu nwere ike ibilikwa bido ịga nʼihu nʼije unu.” Ha zara sị, “Ee, anyị ga-edina nʼama.”
3 And he pressed upon 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.
Ma Lọt rịọsiri ha ike. Nʼikpeazụ ha sooro ya laa nʼụlọ ya. Ọ kwadooro ha ihe oriri, ya bụ achịcha na-ekoghị eko ka o ghere. Ha rikwara ya.
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
Tupu ha abanye ịrahụ ụra, ndị ikom obodo ahụ, ndị ikom Sọdọm, bịara gbaa ụlọ ahụ gburugburu, ma ụmụ okorobịa ma ndị agadi, ndị niile si nʼakụkụ obodo ahụ.
5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
Ha kpọrọ Lọt oku sị ya, “Olee ebe ha nọ, bụ ndị ikom ahụ bịara nʼụlọ gị nʼabalị a? Kpọpụtara anyị ha ka anyị na ha dinakọọ.”
6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
Lọt pụkwuru ha nʼezi, mechie ụzọ ụlọ ya,
7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
sị ha, “Bikonu, ndị enyi m, unu emela ihe ọjọọ dị otu a.
8 Behold now, I have two daughters which 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; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
Leenụ, enwere m ụmụ nke aka m, ụmụ agbọghọ abụọ na-amaghị nwoke. Ka m kpọpụtara unu ha, ka unu mee ha ihe masịrị unu. Ma hapụnụ ndị ikom ndị a, nʼihi na ha bụ ndị batara izere ndụ nʼụlọ m.”
9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
Ha zara sị ya, “Pụọra anyị nʼụzọ. Mbịarambịa ka ị bụ! Leenụ mbịarambịa a! Ọ chọrọ ịbụ onye ikpe. Anyị mee gị ihe, ọ ga-ajọrọ gị njọ karịa ihe anyị ga-eme ha.” Ha nuru Lọt aka nughachi ya azụ, malite itiwa ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ya.
10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
Ma ndị ikom ahụ nọ nʼụlọ Lọt, setịpụrụ aka ha dọbata ya nʼụlọ, ma mechie ụzọ ahụ.
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.
Ha tiri ndị ikom ndị ahụ nọ nʼọnụ ụzọ ihe otiti nke mere ka ha kpụọ ìsì, onye ukwu ha na onye nta ha. Nʼihi ya, ha enweghị ike ịchọta ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ahụ.
12 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
Ndị ikom abụọ ahụ gwara Lọt sị, “O nwere onye ọbụla ọzọ i nwere nʼebe a? Ndị ọgọ nwoke, maọbụ ụmụ gị ndị ikom, maọbụ ụmụ gị ndị inyom, na ọ bụ onye ọbụla bụ nke gị nʼobodo a. Site nʼebe a kpọpụ ha!
13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.
Nʼihi na anyị na-aga imebi obodo a, mkpu akwa ruru Onyenwe anyị ntị megide ndị bi nʼobodo a adịla ukwuu, nke mere o ji zite anyị ibibi ya.”
14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
Ya mere, Lọt pụrụ gaa gwa ndị ọgọ ya nwoke, ndị na-akwado ịlụ ụmụ ya ndị inyom, sị ha, “Ọsọ, sinụ nʼobodo a pụọ. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-akwado ibibi ya.” Ma ndị ọgọ ya nwoke ndị a chere na ọ na-egwu egwu.
15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
Nʼụtụtụ, mgbe chi na-abọta, ndị mmụọ ozi a kwagidere Lọt sị ya, “Ọsọ, kpọrọ nwunye gị na ụmụ gị ndị inyom abụọ ndị a site nʼebe a gbapụ, ma ọ bụghị ya, a ga-ekpochapụ unu nʼihi ajọ omume ndị obodo a.”
16 And while he lingered, 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.
Mgbe Lọt ka nọ na-eche ihe ọ ga-eme, ndị ikom ahụ jidere ya nʼaka, jidekwa nwunye ya, na ụmụ ya ndị inyom abụọ duru ha pụọ nʼobodo ahụ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nwere obi ebere nʼebe ha nọ.
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 consumed.
Mgbe ha si nʼime obodo kpọpụta ha, otu onye nʼime ha gwara ha sị, “Gbalaganụ nʼihi ndụ unu. Unu elekwala anya nʼazụ. Unu akwụsịkwala ebe ọbụla na mbara ala. Gbaganụ nʼugwu, nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na unu emeghị otu a, a ga-ekpochapụ unu.”
18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
Ma Lọt sịrị ha, “Mba, ndị nwe m, bikonu,
19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
ohu unu achọtala amara nʼihu unu, unu egosila m obi ebere dị ukwuu site nʼichebe ndụ m. Ma agaghị m enwe ike gbalaga nʼugwu ka mbibi a ghara ịdakwasị m, m nwụọ.
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.
Lee obodo dị nso nke m nwere ike ịgbaga. Ọ bụ obodo dị nta. Kwere ka m gbaga nʼebe ahụ. Obodo nta ka ọ bụ, ọ bụghị ya? Aga m echebekwa ndụ m na ya.”
21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
Ọ zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma, aga m emere gị dịka arịrịọ gị si dị. Agaghị m emebi obodo nta ahụ.
22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
Ma mee ngwangwa, nʼihi na o nweghị ihe ọbụla m ga-eme tutu ruo mgbe i ruru nʼebe ahụ.” (Ọ bụ nke a mere e ji akpọ aha obodo ahụ Zoa.)
23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
Mgbe Lọt rutere obodo Zoa, anwụ awalitela nʼala ahụ.
24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;
Mgbe ahụ Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼeluigwe zokwasị obodo Sọdọm na Gọmọra nkume ọkụ nke Onyenwe anyị mere ka o si nʼeluigwe zoo.
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
Otu a ka o si kwatuo obodo ndị ahụ niile dị na mbara ala ahụ niile, na ndị niile bi nʼobodo ndị ahụ. O kwatukwara ihe niile na-epu nʼala.
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Ma mgbe nwunye Lọt lere anya nʼazụ, otu mgbe ahụ, ọ ghọrọ ogidi nnu.
27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord:
Nʼụtụtụ echi ya, Ebraham biliri jeruo ebe ahụ o guzoro nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼụbọchị gara aga.
28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
Ọ lepụrụ anya nʼebe obodo Sọdọm na Gọmọra dị, na nʼebe mbara ala ndị ahụ niile dị. Ọ hụrụ anwụrụ ọkụ dị ukwuu nke si nʼala ahụ na-alali elu. Anwụrụ ọkụ a dị ka anwụrụ ọkụ si nʼebe a kwanyere ọkụ na-enwusi ike.
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 the which Lot dwelt.
Ya mere, mgbe Chineke bibiri obodo ndị ahụ dị na mbara ala, o chetara Ebraham, kpọpụta Lọt site nʼoke mbibi ahụ e bibiri obodo ndị ahụ Lọt bi nʼime ha.
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.
Emesịa, Lọt na ụmụ ya ndị inyom abụọ hapụrụ obodo Zoa, nʼihi na ọ tụrụ egwu ibi nʼime Zoa. Ọ gara biri nʼime ọgba nkume ya na ụmụ ya ndị inyom abụọ.
31 And the firstborn 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:
Otu ụbọchị, ada ya sịrị nke nta, “Nna anyị emeela agadi, ọ nwekwaghị nwoke ọbụla nọ nʼụwa a, onye ga-enye anyị ụmụ, dịka omenaala si dị nʼụwa niile.
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
Ka anyị mee ka nna anyị ṅụọ mmanya, ka anyị na ya dinakọọ, ka anyị chebe agbụrụ anyị site na nna anyị.”
33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Nʼabalị ahụ, ha mere ka nna ha ṅụọ mmanya, nke ada banyere soro nna ya dina. Ha abụọ nwere mmekọ. Ma ọ amaghị mgbe ada ya dinara maọbụ mgbe o bilikwara.
34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn 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.
Nʼechi ya, ada gwara nwanne ya nke nta, “Mụ na nna anyị dinara nʼabalị gara aga. Ka anyị mee ka ọ ṅụọkwa mmanya nʼabalị taa, ka ị gaakwa ka gị na ya dina. Ka anyị mee ka agbụrụ anyị dịgide site na nna anyị.”
35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Ha mere ka nna ha ṅụọ mmanya nʼabalị ahụ, ada ya nke nta banyere ya na nna ya dinaa. Dịka ọ dịkwa na mbụ, nna ha amataghị mgbe o dinara ala maọbụ mgbe o bilitere.
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
Ya mere, ụmụ ndị inyom Lọt abụọ ndị a tụrụ ime site nʼaka nna ha.
37 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
Nke ada mụtara nwa nwoke onye ọ gụrụ Moab. Ọ bụ ya bụ nna nna ndị Moab ruo taa.
38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Ben-ammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
Nwa ya nke nta mụtakwara nwa nwoke onye ọ gụrụ Ben-Ammi. Ọ bụ ya bụ nna nna ndị Amọn ruo taa.
