< 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;
其二個の天使黄昏にソドムに至るロト時にソドムの門に坐し居たりしがこれを視起て迎へ首を地にさげて
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.
言けるは我主よ請ふ僕の家に臨み足を濯ひて宿りつとに起きて途に遄征たまへ彼等言ふ否我等は街衢に宿らんと
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.
然ど固く強ければ遂に彼の所に臨みて其家に入るロト乃ち彼等のために筵を設け酵いれぬパンを炊て食はしめたり
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:
斯て未だ寢ざる前に邑の人々即ちソドムの人老たるも若きも諸共に四方八方より來たれる民皆其家を環み
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.
ロトを呼て之に言けるは今夕爾に就たる人は何處にをるや彼等を我等の所に携へ出せ我等之を知らん
6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
ロト入口に出て其後の戸を閉ぢ彼等の所に至りて
7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
言けるは請ふ兄弟よ惡き事を爲すなかれ
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.
我に未だ男知ぬ二人の女あり請ふ我之を携へ出ん爾等の目に善と見ゆる如く之になせよ唯此人等は既に我家の蔭に入たれば何をも之になすなかれ
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.
彼等曰ふ爾退け又言けるは此人は來り寓れる身なるに恒に士師とならんとす然ば我等彼等に加ふるよりも多くの害を爾に加へんと遂に彼等酷しく其人ロトに逼り前よりて其戸を破んとせしに
10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
彼二人其手を舒しロトを家の内に援いれて其戸を閉ぢ
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.
家の入口にをる人衆をして大なるも小も倶に目を眩しめければ彼等遂に入口を索ぬるに困憊たり
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:
斯て二人ロトに言けるは外に爾に屬する者ありや汝の婿子女および凡て邑にをりて爾に屬する者を此所より携へ出べし
13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of Yhwh; And Yhwh hath sent us to destroy it.
此處の號呼ヱホバの前に大になりたるに因て我等之を滅さんとすヱホバ我等を遣はして之を滅さしめたまふ
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 Yhwh will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
ロト出て其女を娶る婿等に告て言けるはヱホバが邑を滅したまふべければ爾等起て此處を出よと然ど婿等は之を戲言と視爲り
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.
曉に及て天使ロトを促して言けるは起て此なる爾の妻と二人の女を携へよ恐くは爾邑の惡とともに滅されん
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; Yhwh being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
然るに彼遲延ひしかば二人其手と其妻の手と其二人の女の手を執て之を導き出し邑の外に置りヱホバ斯彼に仁慈を加へたまふ
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.
既に之を導き出して其一人曰けるは逃遁て汝の生命を救へ後を回顧るなかれ低地の中に止るなかれ山に遁れよ否ずば爾滅されん
18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
ロト彼等に言けるはわが主よ請ふ斯したまふなかれ
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:
視よ僕爾の目のまへに恩を得たり爾大なる仁慈を吾に施してわが生命を救たまふ吾山に遁る能はず恐くは災害身に及びて死るにいたらん
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.
視よ此邑は遁ゆくに近くして且小し我をして彼處に遁れしめよしからば吾生命全からん是は小き邑なるにあらずや
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.
天使之にいひけるは視よ我此事に關ても亦爾の願を容たれば爾が言ふところの邑を滅さじ
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.
急ぎて彼處に遁れよ爾が彼處に至るまでは我何事をも爲を得ずと是に因て其邑の名はゾアル(小し)と稱る
23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
ロト、ゾアルに至れる時日地の上に昇れり
24 Then Yhwh rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Yhwh out of heaven;
ヱホバ硫黄と火をヱホバの所より即ち天よりソドムとゴモラに雨しめ
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
其邑と低地と其邑の居民および地に生るところの物を盡く滅したまへり
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
ロトの妻は後を回顧たれば鹽の柱となりぬ
27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before Yhwh:
アブラハム其朝夙に起て其嘗てヱホバの前に立たる處に至り
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.
ソドム、ゴモラおよび低地の全面を望み見るに其地の烟燄窰の烟のごとくに騰上れり
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.
神低地の邑を滅したまふ時即ちロトの住る邑を滅したまふ時に當り神アブラハムを眷念て斯其滅亡の中よりロトを出したまへり
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.
斯てロト、ゾアルに居ることを懼れたれば其二人の女と偕にゾアルを出て上りて山に居り其二人の女子とともに巖穴に住り
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:
茲に長女季女にいひけるは我等の父は老いたり又此地には我等に偶て世の道を成す人あらず
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
然ば我等父に酒を飮せて與に寢ね父に由て子を得んと
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.
遂に其夜父に酒を飮せ長女入て其父と與に寢たり然るにロトは女の起臥を知ざりき
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.
翌日長女季女に言けるは我昨夜わが父と寢たり我等此夜又父に酒をのません爾入て與に寢よわれらの父に由て子を得ることをえんと
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.
乃ち其夜も亦父に酒をのませ季女起て父と與に寢たりロトまた女の起臥を知ざりき
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
斯ロトの二人の女其父によりて孕みたり
37 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
長女子を生み其名をモアブと名く即ち今のモアブ人の先祖なり
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.
季女も亦子を生み其名をベニアンミと名く即ち今のアンモニ人の先祖なり
