< 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,
Ergamoonni Waaqayyoo sun lamaan galgala sana Sodoom gaʼan; Looxis karra Sodoomii dura taaʼaa ture. Innis yeroo jara argetti, isaan simachuuf kaʼee isaanitti deeme; gad jedhees adda isaatiin lafatti gombifame.
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.
Innis, “Yaa gooftota ko, maaloo mana garbicha keessaniitti goraatii miilla dhiqadhaa bulaa; barii barraaqaan kaatanii karaa keessan itti fufuu dandeessu” jedhe. Isaan immoo, “Hin taʼu; nu waltajjii karaa irra bullaa” jedhaniin.
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.
Inni garuu akka malee isaan dirqisiise; kanaafuu goranii mana isaa seenan; innis maxinoo tolchee nyaata qopheesseef; isaanis ni nyaatan.
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.
Utuu isaan hin rafin namoonni kutaalee magaalaa Sodoom hunda keessaa dhufan hundi dargaggoonnii fi jaarsoliin mana sana marsan.
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.
Isaanis Looxin waamanii, “Namoonni galgala kana gara kee dhufan eessa jiru? Akka nu isaan wajjin ciifnuuf gad nuu yaasi” jedhan.
6 And Lot went out to them to the porch, and he shut the door after him,
Looxis jara sanatti gad baʼee balbala of duubaan cufe;
7 and said to them, By no means, brethren, do not act villanously.
Akkanas jedhe; “Yaa obboloota ko, waan hamaa kana hin hojjetinaa!
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.
Kunoo ani intallan lama kanneen takkumaa dhiira wajjin hin ciisin qaba. Lamaanuu gad isinii nan baasa; isinis waan feetan isaan gochuu dandeessu. Namoota kanneen garuu waan isaan bantii mana koo jala jiraniif homaa isaan hin godhinaa.”
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.
Isaanis, “Badi asii!” jedhaniin. Ittuma fufaniis, “Namichi kun nama ormaa kan nu keessa jiraachuu dhufee dha; amma immoo abbaa murtii nutti taʼuu fedha! Nu waan hamaa jara irratti hojjennu caalaa sirratti hojjenna” jedhaniin. Isaanis Looxin humnaan dhiibanii balbala sana cabsuu gaʼan.
10 And the men stretched forth their hands and drew Lot in to them into the house, and shut the door of the house.
Namoonni sunis hiixatanii Looxin harkisanii manatti ol deebisan; balbalichas ni cufan.
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.
Ergasii immoo namoota balbala manaa dura turan sana akka isaan balbalicha hin argineef xinnaa fi guddaa isaanii dhaʼichaan ija jaamsan.
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.
Namoonni lamaan sun Looxiin akkana jedhan; “Ati nama biraa tokko illee jechuunis soddoota, ilmaan yookaan intallan yookaan nama kan kee taʼe tokko illee magaalaa kana keessaa qabdaa? Asi keessa isaan baafadhu;
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.
nu iddoo kana balleessuuf deemnaatii. Sababii iyyi saba ishee irratti iyyame fuula Waaqayyoo duratti guddaa taʼeef, Waaqni akka nu ishee balleessinuuf nu ergeera.”
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.
Kanaafuu Loox gad baʼee soddoota isaa warra intallan isaa fuudhuuf jiraniin, “Sababii Waaqayyo magaalaa kana balleessuuf kaʼeef, dafaatii asii baʼaa!” jedhe. Soddoonni isaa garuu waan inni qoosu seʼan.
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.
Yeroo boruun diimatetti ergamoonni Waaqayyoo sun Looxin jarjarsanii, “Niitii keetii fi intallan kee lamaan as jiran fudhadhuutii dafii baʼi! Yoo kanaa achii yeroo magaalattiin adabamtutti atis ni baddaa” jedhaniin.
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.
Inni garuu duubatti harkifate; waan Waaqayyo isaaniif garaa laafeef namoonni sun harka isaatii fi harka niitii isaa, intallan isaa lamaanis harka qabanii magaalattii keessaa isaan baasan.
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.
Akkuma gad isaan baasaniinis ergamoota sana keessaa inni tokko, “Lubbuu kee oolfachuuf baqadhu! Of duuba hin milʼatin! Dirree irra iddoo tokko illee hin dhaabatin! Tulluuwwanitti ol baqadhu; yoo kanaa achii ni baddaa!” jedhe.
18 And Lot said to them, I pray, Lord,
Loox garuu akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Yaa gooftota ko, maaloo akkas miti!
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.
Kunoo garbichi kee fuula kee duratti fudhatama argateera; ati lubbuu koo oolchitee gara laafina guddaa na argisiifteerta. Ani garuu gara tulluutti ol baqachuu hin dandaʼu; balaan kun na argata; anis nan duʼa.
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.
Kunoo, magaalaan itti baqachuun dandaʼamu tokko as dhiʼoo jirti; isheen xinnoo dha. Ani gara isheetti nan baqadha; isheen baayʼee xinnoo dha mitii? Akkasitti lubbuun koo ni baraaramti.”
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.
Ergamaan sunis akkana jedheen; “Kunoo, ani kadhaa kana siif nan dhagaʼa; magaalaa ati waaʼee ishee dubbattu kana ani hin balleessu.
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.
Garuu sababii ani hamma ati achi geessutti homaa gochuu hin dandeenyeef dafii achitti baqadhu!” Wanni magaalaan sun Zoʼaar jedhamteefis kanuma.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth, when Lot entered into Segor.
Yeroo Loox Zoʼaar gaʼetti aduun baatee turte.
24 And the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.
Waaqayyo samiiwwan keessaa Waaqayyo biraa, dinyii bobaʼu Sodoomii fi Gomoraa irratti roobse.
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.
Innis akkasiin magaalaawwan kanneenii fi dirreewwan sana guutuu, warra magaalaawwan sana keessa jiraatan hundaa fi biqiltuu biyya sanaa balleesse.
26 And his wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Niitiin Looxi garuu of duuba ilaaltee utubaa soogiddaa taatee hafte.
27 And Abraam rose up early to go to the place, where he had stood before the Lord.
Abrahaamis guyyaa itti aanu ganama obboroon kaʼee iddoo duraan fuula Waaqayyoo dura dhaabachaa ture sanatti deebiʼe.
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.
Innis gara magaalaawwan Sodoomii fi Gomoraa, gara lafa dirree sanaa hundaas ilaalee aara akka aara boolla ibiddaa keessaa baʼuu tokko isaa biyya sana keessaa ol kaʼu arge.
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.
Waaqni yeroo magaalaawwan dirree sanaa balleessetti Abrahaamin yaadate; kanaafuu yommuu magaalaawwan Loox keessa jiraachaa ture balleessetti Looxin balaa sana keessaa baase.
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.
Loox waan Zoʼaar keessa jiraachuu sodaateef intallan isaa lamaan wajjin Zoʼaarii baʼee gaarran irra qubate. Innis intallan isaa lamaan wajjin holqa tokko keessa jiraate.
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.
Gaaf tokko intalli isaa isheen hangafti ishee quxisuudhaan akkana jette; “Abbaan keenya dulloomeera; akka bartee lafa hunda irra jiruutti dhiirri nu wajjin ciisu tokko iyyuu naannoo kan hin jiru.
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.
Kottu mee abbaa keenya daadhii wayinii obaasnee isa wajjin ciifnaa; akkasiin sanyiin abbaa keenyaa lafa irratti akka hafu goona.”
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.
Isaanis halkan sana abbaa isaanii daadhii wayinii obaasan; intalli isheen hangafti ol seentee isa wajjin ciifte. Inni yeroo isheen ciiste yookaan yeroo isheen kaate hin beekne.
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.
Guyyaa itti aanutti intalli hangafti ishee quxisuudhaan akkana jette; “Kunoo ani eda abbaa koo wajjin ciiseera. Kottu edanas daadhii wayinii isa obaasnaa; atis ol seenii isa wajjin ciisi; akkasitti sanyiin abbaa keenyaa akka hafu goona.”
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.
Isaan halkan sanas abbaa isaanii daadhii wayinii obaasan; intalli quxisuun dhaqxee isa wajjin ciiste. Inni ammas yeroo isheen ciiste yookaan yeroo isheen kaate hin beekne.
36 And the two daughters of Lot conceived by their father.
Akkasiin intallan Loox lamaanuu abbaa isaaniitiif ulfaaʼan.
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.
Intalli isheen hangafti ilma deessee maqaa isaa Moʼaab jettee moggaafte. Inni abbaa Moʼaabota harʼaa ti.
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.
Intalli isheen quxisuunis ilma deessee maqaa isaa Ben-Amii jettee moggaafte; inni immoo abbaa Amoonota harʼaa ti.
