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;
साँझमा लोत सदोमको मूल ढोकामा बसिरहेका बेला दुई स्वर्गदूतहरू सदोममा आए । उनीहरूलाई देखेपछि लोत भेट गर्न उठे, र आफ्नो मुहारलाई भुइँसम्मै निहुराएर दण्डवत् गरे ।
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.
तिनले भने “मेरा मालिक, म बिन्ती गर्दछु, कि आफ्नो दासको घरभित्र आउनुहोस्, आजको रात यहीँ बिताउनुहोस्, र आफ्ना पाउ धुनुहोस् । त्यसपछि बिहान सबेरै उठेर तपाईंहरू आफ्नो बाटो लाग्न सक्नुहुन्छ ।” उनीहरूले जवाफ दिए, “होइन, हामी सहरको चोकमा नै रात बिताउनेछौँ ।
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.
तर तिनले उनीहरूलाई ज्यादै आग्रह गरे, त्यसैकारण उनीहरू तिनीसँगै घरभित्र प्रवेश गरे । तिनले भोजनमा खमिर नराखेको रोटी तयार गरे, र उनीहरूले खाए ।
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:
तर उनीहरू सुत्नअगि सदोम सहरका सबै युवा र जवान, र सहरका सबै भागबाट सबै मानिसहरू आएर त्यस घरलाई घेरे ।
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.
तिनीहरूले लोतलाई बोलाएर भने, “साँझ तिमीकहाँ आएका मानिसहरू कहाँ छन्? उनीहरूलाई बाहिर हामीकहाँ ल्याऊ, ताकि हामी तिनीहरूसँग सुत्न सकौँ ।”
6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
यसैकारण लोत ढोकाबाट बाहिर मानिसहरूकहाँ निस्के र आफू निस्केपछि ढोका थुनिदिए ।
7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
तिनले भने, “मेरा भाइहरू, म बिन्ती गर्दछु, यस्तो दुष्ट काम नगर्नुहोस् ।
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.
हेर्नुहोस्, मेरा दुई छोरी छन् जो कुनै मानिससँग सुतेका छैनन् । म बिन्ती गर्दछु, मेरा छोरीहरूलाई तपाईंहरूकहाँ ल्याउन दिनुहोस्, र तपाईंहरूको नजरमा जे असल लाग्छ तिनीहरूसँग त्यही गर्नुहोस् । केवल यी मानिसहरूलाई केही नगर्नुहोस्, किनभने उनीहरू मेरो छतको छायामुनि आएका पाहुना हुन् ।”
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.
तिनीहरूले भने, “पछि हट्!” तिनीहरूले यसो पनि भने, “यो यहाँ परदेशी भएर बस्न आएको थियो, र अहिले हाम्रो न्यायकर्ता भएको छ! अब हामी तिनीहरूलाई भन्दा तँलाई नराम्रो व्यवहार गर्नेछौँ ।” तिनीहरूले ती मानिसहरू र लोतको विरुद्धमा दबाब दिए, र ढोका भत्काउनको निम्ति नजिक आए ।
10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
तर ती मानिसहरूले आफ्ना हात निकालेर लोतलाई तिनीहरूसँगै घरभित्र ताने र ढोका बन्द गरिदिए ।
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.
त्यसपछि लोतका पाहुनाहरूले घरको ढोकाबाहिर भएका मानिसहरू, जवान र वृद्ध दुवैलाई प्रहार गरी अन्धा बनाइदिए, र तिनीहरू ढोका खोज्ने प्रयास गर्दा-गर्दै थाके ।
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:
त्यसपछि ती मानिसहरूले लोतलाई भने, “के तिमीकहाँ अरू कोही छन्? जुवाइँ, छोराहरू, छोरीहरू, र यस सहरमा तिम्रा जो कोही छन्, सबैलाई यस सहरबाट बाहिर लैजाऊ ।
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.
किनभने हामीले यो ठाउँलाई नष्ट गर्न लागेका छौँ, किनभने परमप्रभुको अगि यस सहरको विरुद्धमा दोषहरू यति ठुला भएका छन्, कि उहाँले हामीलाई यस सहरलाई नष्ट पार्न पठाउनुभएको छ ।”
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.
लोत बाहिर गए, र तिनले आफ्ना छोरीहरूलाई विवाह गर्न प्रतिज्ञा गरेका जुवाइँहरूसँग यसो भने, “छिट्टै, यस ठाउँबाट निस्किहाल, किनभने परमप्रभुले यस सहरलाई नष्ट पार्न लाग्नुभएको छ ।” तर तिनका जुवाइँहरूलाई तिनले ठट्टा गरेझैँ लाग्यो ।
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.
जब झिसमिसे बिहान भयो, ती स्वर्गदूतहरूले लोतलाई यसो भने, “जाऊ, यहाँ भएका तिम्री पत्नी र तिम्रा छोरीहरूलाई लैजाऊ, र यस सहरको दण्डमा तिमी नष्ट हुनेछैनौ ।”
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.
तर तिनले अलमल गर्न थाले । त्यसैकारण ती मानिसहरूले लोत, तिनकी पत्नी, र तिनका दुई छोरीका हातहरू समाते, किनभने परमप्रभु तिनीप्रति दयालु हुनुहुन्थ्यो । उनीहरूले तिनीहरू सबैलाई बाहिर निकाले, र सहरबाहिर पठाए ।
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.
जब उनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर निकाले, ती मानिसहरूमध्ये एकजनाले भने, “आफ्नो प्राण बचाउनको निम्ति भाग! पछाडि फर्की नहेर, वा कतै समतल ठाउँमा नबस । पहाडहरूतिर भाग र तिमीहरू नष्ट हुनेछैनौ ।”
18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
लोतले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “होइन, मेरा मालिकहरू!
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:
तपाईंका दृष्टिमा तपाईंको दासले कृपा पाएको छ, र मेरो प्राण बचाउनको निम्ति ममाथि तपाईंहरूले ठुलो दया देखाउनुभएको छ, तर म पहाडहरूतिर भाग्न सक्दिनँ, किनभने ममाथि विपत्ति आइलाग्नेछ र म मर्नेछु ।
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.
हेर्नुहोस्, त्यहाँको सहर भाग्नको निम्ति नजिक छ, र त्यो सानो पनि छ । कृपया, मलाई त्यहाँ भाग्न दिनुहोस् (के त्यो सानोचाहिँ होइन र?), र मेरो जीवन बच्नेछ ।”
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.
उनले तिनलाई भने, “ठिक छ, म तिम्रो यो अनुरोध पनि पुरा गर्नेछु र तिमीले उल्लेख गरेको त्यस सहर म नष्ट गर्दिनँ ।
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.
छिटो गर! त्यहाँ भाग, किनभने तिमी त्यहाँ नपुगेसम्म म केही गर्न सक्दिनँ ।” यसैकारण त्यस सहरलाई सोअर भनियो ।
23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
लोत सोहर पुग्दा घाम उदाइसकेको थियो ।
24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले सदोम र गमोरामाथि आकाशबाट गन्धक र आगो बर्साउनुभयो ।
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
उहाँले ती सहरहरू, सबै समतल भूमि, र ती सहरहरूका बासिन्दाहरू, र भूमिमा उब्जेका सबै बिरुवाहरूलाई नष्ट पार्नुभयो ।
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
तर लोतकी पत्नीले पछाडि फर्केर हेरिन्, जो तिनको पछि-पछि थिइन्, र तिनी नुनको ढिक्का बनिन् ।
27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:
अब्राहाम बिहान सबेरै उठे र तिनी परमप्रभुको सामु उभिएको ठाउँमा गए ।
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.
उनले सदोम र गमोरातर्फ र सबै समतल भूमिमा हेरे । उनले त्यस भूमिबाट भट्टीको धुवाँझैँ माथितिर धुवाँ आइरहेको देखे ।
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.
परमेश्वरले समतल भूमिका सहरहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नुभएपछि, उहाँले अब्राहामलाई सम्झनुभयो । उहाँले लोतले बसोबास गरेका सहरहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नुहुँदा, लोतलाई त्यस विनाशको माझबाट बाहिर निकाल्नुभयो ।
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.
तर लोत आफ्ना दुई छोरीसँग सोअरबाट पहाडहरूमा बसोबास गर्न गए, किनभने तिनी सोअरमा बस्न डराए । यसैकारण, तिनी र तिनका दुई छोरीहरू एउटा गुफामा बसे ।
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:
जेठीले कान्छीलाई भनिन्, “हाम्रा बुबा वृद्ध भएका छन्, र सारा संसारको रीतिअनुसार हामीसँग सुत्ने कहीँ पनि कोही मानिस छैन ।
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
आऊ, हाम्रो बुबालाई मद्य पिउन लगाऔँ, अनि हाम्रो बुबाको वंशलाई बिस्तार गर्न हामी उहाँसँग सुतौँ ।”
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.
यसैकारण त्यस रात तिनीहरूले आफ्ना बुबालाई मद्य पिउन लगाए । त्यसपछि जेठीचाहिँ भित्र गइन् र आफ्ना बुबासँग सुतिन्; तिनी कहिले सुतिन् र कहिले उठिन् भन्ने उनलाई पत्तो नै भएन ।
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.
अर्को दिन जेठीले कान्छीलाई भनिन्, “सुन, गएको रात म मेरो बुबासँग सुतेँ । आजको रातमा पनि उहाँलाई मद्य पिउन लगाऔँ, र हाम्रो बुबाको वंश विस्तार गर्नको निम्ति तिमी गएर उहाँसँग सुत ।”
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.
यसैकारण, तिनीहरूले आफ्ना बुबालाई त्यस रात पनि मद्य पिउन लगाए, र कान्छीचाहिँ गएर उनीसँग सुतिन् । तिनी कहिले सुतिन् र कहिले उठिन् भन्ने उनलाई पत्तो नै भएन ।
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
यसरी लोतका दुवै छोरीहरू आफ्ना बुबाबाट गर्भवती भइन् ।
37 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same [is] the father of the Moabites unto this day.
जेठीले एउटा छोरो जन्माइन्, र त्यसको नाउँ मोआब राखिन् । वर्तमान समयका मोआबीहरूका पुर्खा उनी नै हुन् ।
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.
कान्छी छोरीले पनि एउटा छोरा जन्माइन्, र त्यसको नाउँ बेन-अमी राखिन् । वर्तमान समयका अम्मोनीहरूका पुर्खा उनी नै हुन् ।
