Genesis 19
1 And the two angels came to Sodom at evening. And Lot sat by the gate of Sodom, and Lot having seen them, rose up to meet them, and he worshipped with his face to the ground, and said,
Ketika hari petang, kedua orang tadi— yang ternyata adalah malaikat— tiba di kota Sodom. Saat itu, Lot sedang duduk di pintu gerbang kota. Melihat mereka, dia bangkit menyambut dan bersujud untuk menghormati mereka.
2 Behold! [my] lords, turn aside to the house of your servant, and rest from your journey, and wash your feet, and having risen early in the morning you shall depart on your journey. And they said, Nay, but we will lodge in the street.
Kata Lot kepada dua orang itu, “Tuan-tuan, silakan menginap di rumah saya malam ini. Kalian bisa mencuci kaki, dan besok kalian dapat melanjutkan perjalanan.” Jawab mereka, “Tidak. Kami akan bermalam di luar saja, di alun-alun kota.”
3 And he constrained them, and they turned aside to him, and they entered into his house, and he made a feast for them, and baked unleavened cakes for them, and they did eat.
Tetapi Lot terus mendesak mereka supaya mau menginap di rumahnya. Akhirnya mereka pun masuk ke rumah Lot, dan Lot menyiapkan makanan untuk mereka. Dia memanggang roti tanpa ragi, lalu mereka memakannya.
4 But before they went to sleep, the men of the city, the Sodomites, compassed the house, both young and old, all the people together.
Sebelum mereka pergi tidur, semua laki-laki dari seluruh penjuru kota Sodom, tua maupun muda, datang mengepung rumah Lot.
5 And they called out Lot, and said to him, Where are the men that went in to you this night? bring them out to us that we may be with them.
Mereka berteriak-teriak kepada Lot, “Di mana kedua orang yang menginap di rumahmu malam ini? Bawa mereka keluar, supaya kami bisa bersetubuh dengan mereka!”
6 And Lot went out to them to the porch, and he shut the door after him,
Kemudian Lot keluar dari dalam rumah dan menutup pintu di belakangnya supaya mereka tidak bisa masuk.
7 and said to them, By no means, brethren, do not act villanously.
Katanya kepada mereka, “Saudara-saudaraku, janganlah berbuat jahat seperti itu!
8 But I have two daughters, who have not known a man. I will bring them out to you, and do you use them as it may please you, only do not injury to these men, to avoid which they came under the shelter of my roof.
Mohon dengarkan saya! Saya punya dua anak perempuan yang masih perawan. Biarlah saya membawa mereka keluar untuk kalian sekarang, dan kalian boleh melakukan apa saja yang kalian mau kepada mereka. Tetapi jangan lakukan apa pun terhadap kedua laki-laki itu. Mereka adalah tamu di rumah saya, maka saya harus melindungi mereka!”
9 And they said to him, Stand back there, you came in to sojourn, was it also to judge? Now then we would harm you more than them. And they pressed hard on the man, even Lot, and they drew near to break the door.
Tetapi orang-orang itu menjawab, “Berani-beraninya kamu mengatur kami! Kamu hanya pendatang di sini. Menyingkirlah dari situ! Kalau tidak, kami akan melakukan yang lebih buruk kepadamu daripada yang akan kami lakukan terhadap kedua orang itu!” Kemudian mereka menyerbu ke arah Lot hendak mendobrak pintu.
10 And the men stretched forth their hands and drew Lot in to them into the house, and shut the door of the house.
Tetapi kedua malaikat itu membuka pintu dengan cepat dan menarik Lot masuk ke rumah, lalu langsung menutup pintu itu kembali.
11 And they struck the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, and they were wearied with seeking the door.
Dua malaikat itu membuat semua orang yang berdiri di luar menjadi buta, baik yang tua maupun yang muda, sehingga mereka tidak dapat menemukan pintunya.
12 And the men said to Lot, Hast you here sons-in-law, or sons or daughters, or if you have any other friend in the city, bring them out of this place.
Lalu malaikat-malaikat itu berkata kepada Lot, “Siapa lagi keluargamu yang tinggal di kota ini? Kalau kamu memiliki anak laki-laki, anak perempuan, menantu, ataupun sanak saudara lainnya, bawalah mereka keluar dari kota ini!
13 For we are going to destroy this place; for their cry has been raised up before the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it.
Kami diutus TUHAN untuk menghancurkan tempat ini, karena berdasarkan keluhan-keluhan yang didengar TUHAN, penduduk kota ini sudah jahat sekali.”
14 And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law who had married his daughters, and said, Rise up, and depart out of this place, for the Lord is about to destroy the city; but he seemed to be speaking absurdly before his sons-in-law.
Maka pergilah Lot menemui kedua calon menantunya dan berkata, “Cepat! Keluar dari kota ini, karena TUHAN akan segera menghancurkannya!” Namun, mereka menganggap Lot sedang bercanda.
15 But when it was morning, the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise and take your wife, and your two daughters whom you have, and go forth; lest you also be destroyed with the iniquities of the city.
Menjelang fajar, kedua malaikat itu mendesak Lot agar bergegas, “Cepatlah! Bawa istrimu dan kedua anak gadismu pergi dari sini! Kalau tidak, kalian akan ikut mati waktu kami menghancurkan kota ini!”
16 And they were troubled, and the angels laid hold on his hand, and the hand of his wife, and the hands of his two daughters, in that the Lord spared him.
Ketika Lot belum bergerak juga, kedua malaikat itu langsung memegang tangannya dan tangan istrinya serta kedua anak gadisnya, lalu menarik mereka keluar dari kota itu dengan aman. Para malaikat melakukan itu karena TUHAN berbelas kasih kepada Lot dan keluarganya.
17 And it came to pass when they brought them out, that they said, Save your own life by all means; look not round to that which is behind, nor stay in all the country round about, escape to the mountain, lest perhaps you be overtaken together with them.
Sesampainya mereka di luar kota, salah satu malaikat itu berkata, “Larilah untuk menyelamatkan nyawamu! Jangan menoleh ke belakang! Jangan berhenti di lembah! Larilah ke daerah perbukitan supaya kalian tidak mati!”
18 And Lot said to them, I pray, Lord,
Tetapi kata Lot kepada mereka, “Aduh, jangan begitu, Tuan-tuanku!
19 since your servant has found mercy before you, and you have magnified your righteousness, in what you do towards me that my soul may live, —but I shall not be able to escape to the mountain, lest perhaps the calamity overtake me and I die.
Tuan sudah sangat berbaik hati dengan menyelamatkan nyawa saya. Tetapi daerah perbukitan itu terlalu jauh! Kalau saya berusaha lari ke sana, saya akan mati sebelum sampai.
20 Behold this city is near for me to escape there, which is a small one, and there shall I be preserved, is it not little? and my soul shall live because of you.
Tetapi lihat, di sebelah situ ada kampung yang cukup dekat dari sini. Izinkanlah kami pergi ke kampung kecil itu supaya kami selamat.”
21 And he said to him, Behold, I have had respect to you also about this thing, that I should not overthrow the city about which you have spoken.
Salah satu malaikat itu berkata, “Baiklah, saya mengabulkan permintaanmu. Saya tidak akan menghancurkan kampung kecil itu.
22 Hasten therefore to escape there, for I shall not be able to do anything until you are come there; therefore he called the name of that city, Segor.
Tetapi cepat! Larilah ke sana, karena saya tidak bisa mulai menjatuhkan hukuman sebelum kalian sampai di sana.” Sesudah peristiwa ini, kampung tersebut dinamai Zoar, karena Lot mengatakan bahwa kampung itu kecil.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth, when Lot entered into Segor.
Lot dan keluarganya tiba di kampung yang sekarang dinamai Zoar itu sesudah matahari terbit.
24 And the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.
Kemudian TUHAN menjatuhkan api dan belerang ke atas Sodom dan Gomora, seperti hujan dari langit.
25 And he overthrew these cities, and all the country round about, and all that lived in the cities, and the plants springing out of the ground.
Demikianlah TUHAN menghancurkan kedua kota itu dan semua penduduk di dalamnya. Dia juga menghancurkan segala sesuatu yang ada di lembah itu, termasuk seluruh tumbuhan.
26 And his wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Namun, istri Lot berhenti di tengah jalan dan menoleh ke belakang, maka dia mati dan menjadi tiang garam.
27 And Abraam rose up early to go to the place, where he had stood before the Lord.
Pagi itu, Abraham bangun dan segera pergi ke tempat dia bercakap-cakap dengan TUHAN kemarin.
28 And he looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha, and towards the surrounding country, and saw, and behold a flame went up from the earth, as the smoke of a furnace.
Saat memandang ke arah Sodom dan Gomora, dia melihat seluruh lembah itu berasap tebal, seperti asap dari tungku yang sangat besar.
29 And it came to pass that when God destroyed all the cities of the region round about, God remembered Abraam, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when the Lord overthrew those cities in which Lot lived.
Jadi, TUHAN mengingat permintaan Abraham ketika Dia memusnahkan kota-kota di lembah itu. Itulah sebabnya Lot diselamatkan dari bencana yang terjadi di sana.
30 And Lot went up out of Segor, and lived in the mountain, he and his two daughters with him, for he feared to dwell in Segor; and he lived in a cave, he and his two daughters with him.
Lot takut untuk tinggal di Zoar, maka dia meninggalkan kampung itu dan pindah ke gunung bersama kedua anak gadisnya. Di sana, mereka tinggal di sebuah gua.
31 And the elder said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is no one on the earth who shall come in to us, as it is fit in all the earth.
Suatu hari, anak gadis Lot yang sulung berkata kepada adiknya, “Aduh, dengan siapa kita akan menikah di tempat yang sunyi ini! Tidak ada lagi laki-laki. Ayah kita sudah terlalu tua untuk mengurus pernikahan seperti yang dilakukan di daerah-daerah lain.
32 Come and let us make our father drink wine, and let us sleep with him, and let us raise up seed from our father.
Mari kita membuat ayah kita mabuk dengan minum anggur sehingga dia tidak sadar, lalu kita bisa bersetubuh dengannya. Dengan cara inilah kita dapat menyambung keturunan keluarga kita.”
33 So they made their father drink wine in that night, and the elder went in and lay with her father that night, and he knew not when he slept and when he rose up.
Malam itu, mereka berhasil membuat Lot mabuk. Lalu anak gadis yang sulung masuk dan bersetubuh dengan ayahnya. Lot tidak tahu apa-apa karena dia sudah terlalu mabuk.
34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the elder said to the younger, Behold, I slept yesternight with our father, let us make him drink wine in this night also, and do you go in and sleep with him, and let us raise up seed of our father.
Keesokan harinya, anak gadis Lot yang sulung itu berkata lagi kepada adiknya, “Tadi malam aku sudah tidur dengan ayah kita! Nanti malam, kita buat dia mabuk lagi. Lalu kamu tidurlah dengannya, supaya kita masing-masing mendapat anak.”
35 So they made their father drink wine in that night also, and the younger went in and slept with her father, and he knew not when he slept, nor when he arose.
Maka malam itu mereka membuat Lot mabuk lagi, kemudian anak gadis yang bungsu juga bersetubuh dengan ayahnya. Kali ini pun Lot terlalu mabuk sehingga dia tidak tahu apa yang terjadi.
36 And the two daughters of Lot conceived by their father.
Dengan demikian, kedua anak gadis Lot hamil dari ayah mereka.
37 And the elder bore a son and called his name Moab, saying, [He is] of my father. This is the father of the Moabites to this present day.
Kakaknya melahirkan anak laki-laki yang dia namai Moab. Anak ini menjadi nenek moyang dari bangsa Moab.
38 And the younger also bore a son, and called his name Amman, saying, The son of my family. This is the father of the Ammanites to this present day.
Adiknya melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki juga, yang dia namai Ben Ami. Dialah yang menjadi nenek moyang dari bangsa Amon.
