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;
Malaika wawili wakaja Sodoma jioni, wakati ambao Lutu alikuwa amekaa langoni mwa Sodoma. Lutu akawaona, akainuka kuwalaki, na akainama uso wake chini ardhini.
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.
Akasema, Tafadhari Bwana zangu, nawasihi mgeuke mwende kwenye nyumba ya mtumishi wenu, mlale pale usiku na muoshe miguu yenu. Kisha muamke asubuhi na mapema muondoke.” Nao wakasema, “Hapana, usiku tutalala mjini.”
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.
Lakini akawasihi sana, mwishowe wakaondoka pamoja nae, na wakaingia katika nyumba yake. Akaandaa chakula na kuoka mkate usiotiwa chachu, wakala.
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:
Lakini kabla hawaja lala, wanaume wa mji, wa Sodoma, vijana kwa wazee wakaizunguka nyumba, wanaume wote kutoka kila kona ya mji.
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.
Wakamwita Lutu, na kumwambia, “Wale wanaume walioingia kwako usiku wakowapi? watoe hapa nje waje kwetu, ili tuweze kulala nao.”
6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
Lutu akatoka nje na akafunga mlango.
7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
Akasema, “Nawasihi, ndugu zangu, msitende uovu.
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.
Tazama, nina mabinti wawili ambao hawajawahi kulala na mwanaume yeyote. Nawaomba tafadhari niwalete kwenu, na muwafanyie lolote muonalo kuwa jema machoni penu. Msitende lolote kwa wanaume hawa, kwa kuwa wamekuja chini ya kivuli cha dari yangu.”
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.
Wakasema, “Ondoka hapa!” Wakasema pia, huyu alikuja kukaa hapa kama mgeni, na sasa amekuwa mwamuzi! Sasa tutakushugulilia vibaya wewe kuliko wao.” Wakamsonga sana huyo mtu, huyo Lutu, na wakakaribia kuvunja mlango.
10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
Lakini wale wanaume wakamkamata Lutu na kumweka ndani na wakafunga mlango.
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.
Kisha wale wageni wa Lutu wakawapiga kwa upofu wale wanaume waliokuwa nje ya nyumba, vijana na wazee kwa pamoja, kiasi kwamba wakachoka wakati wakiutafuta mlango.
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:
Basi wale watu wakamwambia Lutu, Je una mtu mwingine yeyote hapa? wakwe zako, wanao na mabinti zako, na yeyote mwingine katika huu mji, ukawatoe hapa.
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.
Kwa kuwa tunakaribia kuiangamiza sehemu hii, kwa sababu mashitaka dhidi yake mbele ya Yahwe yamezidi kiasi kwamba ametutuma kuuangamiza.”
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.
Lutu akatoka na akazungumza na wakwe zake, wanaume ambao walikuwa wamewaposa binti zake, akawambia, “Ondokeni upesi mahali hapa, kwa kuwa Yahwe anakaribia kuuangamiza mji.” Lakini kwa wakwe zake alionekana kuwa anawatania.
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.
Alfajiri, malaika wakamsihi Lutu, wakisema, ondoka, mtwae mkeo na binti zako wawili ambao wako hapa, ili kwamba usipotelee katika adhabu ya mji huu.”
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.
Lakini akakawia-kawia. Kwa hiyo watu wale wakamshika mkono wake, na mkono wa mkewe, na mikono ya binti zake wawili, kwa sababu Yahwe alimhurumia. Wakawatoa nje, na kuwaweka nje ya mji.
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.
Wakisha kuwatoa nje mmoja wa wale watu akasema, “jiponye nafsi yako! usitazame nyuma, au usikae mahali popote kwenye hili bonde. Toroka uende milimani ili kwamba usije ukatoweshwa mbali.”
18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
Lutu akawambia, “Hapana, tafadhali bwana zangu!
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:
Mtumishi wenu amepata kibali machoni pako, na umenionesha wema ulio mkuu kwa kuokoa maisha yangu, lakini sitaweza kutorokea milimani, kwa sababu mabaya yataniwahi na nitakufa.
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.
Tazama, ule mji pale uko karibu nijisalimishe pale, na ni mdogo. Tafadhari niacheni nikimbilie pale ( Je Siyo mdogo ule?), na maisha yangu yataokolewa.”
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.
Akamwambia, “Sawa, nimekubali ombi hili pia, kwamba sitaangamiza mji ambaoumeutaja.
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.
Harakisha! toroka uende pale, kwa kuwa sitafanya chochote mpaka ufike pale.” kwa hiyo mji ule ukaitwa Soari.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
Jua lilikuwa limekwisha chomoza juu ya nchi wakati Lutu alipofika Soari.
24 Then Yhwh rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Yhwh out of heaven;
Kisha Yahwe akanyesha juu ya Sodoma na Gomora kiberiti na moto toka kwa Yahwe mbinguni.
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
Akaharibu miji ile, na bonde lote, na vyote vilivyomo katika miji, na mimea iliyo chipua juu ya ardhi.
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Lakini mke wa Lutu aliye kuwa nyuma yake, akatazama nyuma, na akawa nguzo ya chumvi.
27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before Yhwh:
Abraham akaamuka asubuhi na mapema akaenda mahali alipokuwa amesimama mbele ya Yahwe.
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.
Akatazama chini kuelekea Sodoma na Gomora na kuelekea katika nchi yote bondeni. Akaona na tazama, moshi ulikuwauki ukienda juu kutoka chini kama moshi wa tanuru.
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.
Wakati Mungu alipoharibu miji ya bondeni, Mungu akamkumbuka Abraham. Akamtoa Lutu kutoka katika maangamizi alipoangamiza miji ambayo katika hiyo Lutu aliishi.
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.
Lakini Lutu akapanda juu kutoka Soari na kwenda kuishi katika milima akiwa pamoja na binti zake wawili, kwa sababu aliogopa kuishi Soari. Kwa hiyo akaishi pangoni, yeye na binti zake wawili.
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:
Yule wa kwanza akamwambia yule mdogo, “Baba yetu ni mzee, na hakuna mwanaume mahali popote wa kulala na sisi kulingana na desturi ya dunia yote.
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
Njoo na tumnyweshe baba yetu mvinyo na tulale naye ili kwamba tuendeleze uzao wa baba yetu.”
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.
Kwa hiyo wakamnywesha baba yako mvinyo usiku ule. Kisha yule wa kwanza akaingia na akalala na baba yake; Baba yake hakujua ni wakati gani alikuja kulala, wala wakati alipo amka.
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.
Siku iliyo fuata yule wa kwanza akamwambia mdogowake, “Sikiliza, usiku wa jana nililala na baba yangu. Na tumnyweshe mvinyo usiku wa leo pia, na uingie ukalale naye. Ili kwamba tuendeleze uzao wa baba yetu.”
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.
Kwa hiyo wakamnywesha baba yao mvinyo usiku ule pia, na yule mdogo akaenda na akalala naye. Baba yake hakujua ni wakati gani alilala, wala wakati alipoamka.
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
Basi hao binti wote wawili wa Lutu wakapata mimba kwa baba yao.
37 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
Wa kwanza akazaa mwana wa kiume, na akamwita jina lake Moabu. Akawa ndiye baba wa wamoabu hata leo.
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.
Nayule mdogo naye akazaa mwana wa kiume, na akamwita Benami. Huyu ndiye baba wa watu wa Waamoni hata leo.
