< Genesis 19 >

1 And the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom; and when Lot saw them he rose up to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face to the ground.
وَأَقْبَلَ الْمَلاكَانِ عَلَى سَدُومَ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ. وَكَانَ لُوطٌ جَالِساً عِنْدَ بَابِ سَدُومَ، فَمَا إِنْ رَآهُمَا حَتَّى نَهَضَ لاسْتِقْبَالِهِمَا، وَسَجَدَ بِوَجْهِهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ،١
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 can rise up early, and go on your way. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
وَقَالَ: «يَا سَيِّدَيَّ، انْزِلا فِي بَيْتِ عَبْدِكُمَا لِتَقْضِيَا لَيْلَتَكُمَا، وَاغْسِلا أَرْجُلَكُمَا، وَفِي الصَّبَاحِ الْبَاكِرِ تَمْضِيَانِ فِي طَرِيقِكُمَا». لَكِنَّهُمَا قَالا: «لا، بَلْ نَمْكُثُ اللَّيْلَةَ فِي السَّاحَةِ».٢
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 baked unleavened bread, and they did eat.
فَأَصَرَّ عَلَيْهِمَا جِدّاً حَتَّى قَبِلا الذَّهَابَ مَعَهُ وَالنُّزُولَ فِي بَيْتِهِ. فَأَعَدَّ لَهُمَا مَأْدُبَةً وَخَبَزَ فَطِيراً فَأَكَلا.٣
4 But before they had lain 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:
وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْقُدَا، حَاصَرَ رِجَالُ مَدِينَةِ سَدُومَ مِنْ أَحْدَاثٍ وَشُيُوخٍ، الْبَيْتَ،٤
5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men who came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
وَنَادُوا لُوطاً: «أَيْنَ الرَّجُلانِ اللَّذَانِ اسْتَضَفْتَهُمَا اللَّيْلَةَ؟ أَخْرِجْهُمَا إِلَيْنَا لِنُضَاجِعَهُمَا».٥
6 And Lot went out unto them, at the entrance [of the house], and shut the door after him.
فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ لُوطٌ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَغْلَقَ الْبَابَ خَلْفَهُ،٦
7 And he said, I pray you, my brethren, do not act wickedly.
وَقَالَ: «لا تَرْتَكِبُوا شَرّاً يَا إِخْوَتِي.٧
8 Behold now, I have two daughters who 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, since they have once come under the shadow of my roof.
هُوَذَا لِي ابْنَتَانِ عَذْرَاوَانِ أُخْرِجُهُمَا إِلَيْكُمْ فَافْعَلُوا بِهِمَا مَا يَحْلُو لَكُمْ، أَمَّا هَذَانِ الرَّجُلانِ فَلا تُسِيئوا إِلَيْهِمَا لأَنَّهُمَا لَجَآ إِلَى حِمَى مَنْزِلِي».٨
9 And they said, Stand back. And they said, This one man came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge; now will we deal worse with thee than with them. And they pressed sorely upon the man Lot, and they came near to break the door.
فَقَالُوا: «تَنَحَّ بَعِيداً»، وَأَضَافُوا: «لَقَدْ جَاءَ هَذَا الإِنْسَانُ لِيَتَغَرَّبَ بَيْنَنَا، وَهَا هُوَ يَتَحَكَّمُ فِينَا. الآنَ نَفْعَلُ بِكَ شَرّاً أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمَا». وَتَدَافَعُوا حَوْلَ لُوطٍ وَتَقَدَّمُوا لِيُحَطِّمُوا الْبَابَ.٩
10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot to them into the house, and the door they locked.
غَيْرَ أَنَّ الرَّجُلَيْنِ مَدَّا أَيْدِيَهُمَا وَاجْتَذَبَا لُوطاً إِلَى دَاخِلِ الْبَيْتِ، وَأَغْلَقَا الْبَابَ.١٠
11 And the men that were at the entrance of the house they smote with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the entrance.
ثُمَّ ضَرَبَا الرِّجَالَ، صَغِيرَهُمْ وَكَبِيرَهُمْ، الْوَاقِفِينَ أَمَامَ بَابِ الْبَيْتِ بِالْعَمَى، فَعَجَزُوا عَنِ الْعُثُورِ عَلَى الْبَابِ.١١
12 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? a son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring out of this place.
وَقَالَ الرَّجُلانِ لِلُوطٍ: «أَلَكَ أَقْرِبَاءُ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ؟ أَصْهَارٌ وَأَبْنَاءٌ وَبَنَاتٌ أَوْ أَيُّ شَخْصٍ آخَرَ يَمُتُّ إِلَيْكَ بِصِلَةٍ؟ أَخْرِجْهُمْ مِنْ هُنَا،١٢
13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry against them is waxed great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.
لأَنَّنَا عَازِمَانِ عَلَى تَدْمِيرِ هَذَا الْمَكَانِ، إِذْ أَنَّ صُرَاخَ الشَّكْوَى مِنْ شَرِّهِ قَدْ تَعَاظَمَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، فَأَرْسَلَنَا الرَّبُّ لِنُدَمِّرَهُ».١٣
14 And Lot went out and spoke unto his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, and said, Arise, get yourselves out of this place, for the Lord will destroy this city; but he seemed as one that jesteth in the eyes of his sons-in-law.
فَمَضَى لُوطٌ وَخَاطَبَ أَصْهَارَهُ أَزْوَاجَ بَنَاتِهِ، قَائِلاً: «هَيَّا. قُومُوا وَاخْرُجُوا مِنْ هَذَا الْمَكَانِ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ سَيُدَمِّرُ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ». فَبَدَا كَمَازِحٍ فِي أَعْيُنِ أَصْهَارِهِ.١٤
15 And as the morning dawn arose, the angels urged Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters that are here, lest thou be consumed for the iniquity of the city.
وَمَا إِنْ أَطَلَّ الْفَجْرُ حَتَّى طَفِقَ الْمَلاكَانِ يَلِحَّانِ عَلَى لُوطٍ قَائِلَيْنِ: «هَيَّا انْهَضْ وَخُذْ زَوْجَتَكَ وَابْنَتَيْكَ اللَّتَيْنِ هُنَا، لِئَلّا تَهْلِكَ بِإِثْمِ الْمَدِينَةِ».١٥
16 And while he yet lingered, the men laid hold of his hand, and of the hand of his wife, and of the hand of his two daughters, because the Lord desired to spare him; and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
وَإِذْ تَوَانَى لُوطٌ، أَمْسَكَ الرَّجُلانِ بِيَدِهِ وَأَيْدِي زَوْجَتِهِ وَابْنَتَيْهِ وَقَادَاهُمْ إِلَى خَارِجِ الْمَدِينَةِ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ أَشْفَقَ عَلَيْهِمْ.١٦
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.
وَمَا إِنْ أَخْرَجَاهُمْ بَعِيداً حَتَى قَالَ أَحَدُ الْمَلاكَيْنِ: «اُنْجُ بِحَيَاتِكَ. لَا تَلْتَفِتْ وَرَاءَكَ وَلا تَتَوَقَّفْ فِي كُلِّ مِنْطَقَةِ السَّهْلِ. اهْرُبْ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ لِئَلّا تَهْلِكَ».١٧
18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my lord!
فَقَالَ لُوطٌ: «لَيْسَ هَكَذَا يَا سَيِّدُ.١٨
19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy eyes, and thou hast magnified thy kindness, which thou hast showed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest the evil overtake me, and I die.
هَا عَبْدُكَ قَدْ حَظِيَ بِرِضَاكَ، وَهَا أَنْتَ قَدْ عَظَّمْتَ لُطْفَكَ إِذْ أَنْقَذْتَ حَيَاتِي، وَأَنَا لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ اللُّجُوءَ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ لِئَلّا يُدْرِكَنِي مَكْرُوهٌ فَأَمُوتَ.١٩
20 Behold now, this city is near to flee thereunto, and it is little; oh, let me, I pray thee, escape thither, [as it is but little, ] that my life may be saved.
هَا هِيَ الْمَدِينَةُ قَرِيبَةٌ يَسْهُلُ الْهَرَبُ إِلَيْهَا. إِنَّهَا مَدِينَةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ، فَدَعْنِي أَلْجَأُ إِلَيْهَا. أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مَدِينَةً صَغِيرَةً جِدّاً فَأَنْجُوَ فِيهَا بِحَيَاتِي؟»٢٠
21 And he said unto him, See, I have favored thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, of which thou hast spoken.
فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلاكُ: «إِنِّي قَدْ قَبِلْتُ طِلْبَتَكَ بِشَأْنِ هَذَا الأَمْرِ، وَلَنْ أُدَمِّرَ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ الَّتِي ذَكَرْتَهَا٢١
22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou hast come thither. Therefore was the name of the city called Zoar.
أَسْرِعْ، وَاهْرُبْ إِلَيْهَا، لأَنَّنِي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَصْنَعَ شَيْئاً إِلَى أَنْ تَبْلُغَهَا». لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ اسْمُ تِلْكَ الْمَدِينَةِ صُوغَرَ (وَمَعْنَاهَا صَغِيرَةٌ).٢٢
23 The sun rose over the earth, when Lot entered into Zoar.
وَمَا إِنْ أَشْرَقَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ حَتَّى كَانَ لُوطٌ قَدْ دَخَلَ إِلَى صُوغَرَ،٢٣
24 And the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire, from the Lord, out of heaven;
فَأَمْطَرَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ كِبْرِيتاً وَنَاراً، مِنْ عِنْدِهِ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ.٢٤
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
وَقَلَبَ تِلْكَ الْمُدُنَ وَالسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا، وَالسَّهْلَ الْمُحِيطَ بِها وَكُلَّ مَزْرُوعَاتِ الأَرْضِ.٢٥
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
وَتَلَفَّتَتْ زَوْجَةُ لُوطٍ السَّائِرَةُ خَلْفَهُ وَرَاءَهَا، فَتَحَوَّلَتْ إِلَى عَمُودٍ مِنَ الْمِلْحِ.٢٦
27 And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the Lord:
وَمَضَى إِبْرَاهِيمُ مُبَكِّراً فِي الصَّبَاحِ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي وَقَفَ فِيهِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.٢٧
28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and lo, smoke went up from the earth as the smoke of a furnace.
وَتَطَلَّعَ نَحْوَ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَلِسَائِرِ أَرْضِ السَّهْلِ، فَأَبْصَرَ الدُّخَانَ يَتَصَاعَدُ مِنْهَا كَالأَتُونِ.٢٨
29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot away out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot had dwelt.
وَهَكَذَا عِنْدَمَا دَمَّرَ اللهُ مُدُنَ السَّهْلِ ذَكَرَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَأَخْرَجَ لُوطاً قُبَيْلَ وُقُوعِ الْكَارِثَةِ حِينَ قَلَبَ الْمُدُنَ الَّتِي سَكَنَ فِيهَا لُوطٌ.٢٩
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.
وَغَادَرَ لُوطٌ وَابْنَتَاهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ صُوغَرَ، وَاسْتَقَرُّوا فِي الْجَبَلِ لأَنَّهُ خَافَ أَنْ يَسْكُنَ فِي صُوغَرَ. فَلَجَأَ هُوَ وَابْنَتَاهُ إِلَى كَهْفٍ هُنَاكَ.٣٠
31 And the first-born said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the country to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
فَقَالَتْ الابْنَةُ الْبِكْرُ لأُخْتِهَا الصَّغِيرَةِ: «إِنَّ أَبَانَا قَدْ شَاخَ وَلَيْسَ فِي الأَرْضِ حَوْلَنَا رَجُلٌ يَتَزَوَّجُنَا كَعَادَةِ كُلِّ النَّاسِ.٣١
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
فَتَعَالَيْ نَسْقِيهِ خَمْراً وَنَضْطَجِعُ مَعَهُ فَلا تَنْقَطِعُ ذُرِّيَّةُ أَبِينَا».٣٢
33 And they made their father drink wine that night; and the first-born went in, and lay with her father, and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
فَسَقَتَا فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ أَبَاهُمَا خَمْراً، وَأَقْبَلَتْ الابْنَةُ الْكُبْرَى وَضَاجَعَتْ أَبَاهَا فَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِاضْطِجَاعِهَا وَلا بِقِيَامِهَا.٣٣
34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the first-born 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.
وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي قَالَتْ الابْنَةُ الْبِكْرُ لأُخْتِهَا الصَّغِيرَةِ: «إِنِّي قَدِ اضْطَجَعْتُ مَعَ أَبِي لَيْلَةَ أَمْسِ، فَتَعَالَيْ نَسْقِيهِ اللَّيْلَةَ أَيْضاً خَمْراً ثُمَّ ادْخُلِي وَاضْطَجِعِي مَعَهُ فَنُحْيِيَ مِنْ أَبِينَا نَسْلاً».٣٤
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.
فَسَقَتَا أَبَاهُمَا خَمْراً فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ أَيْضاً وَأَقْبَلَتْ الابْنَةُ الصَّغِيرَةُ وَضَاجَعَتْ أَبَاهَا. فَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِاضْطِجَاعِهَا وَلا بِقِيَامِهَا.٣٥
36 And both the daughters of Lot became with child by their father.
وَهَكَذَا حَمَلَتْ الابْنَتَانِ كِلْتَاهُمَا مِنْ أَبِيهِمَا.٣٦
37 And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab; the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
فَوَلَدَتِ الْكُبْرَى ابْناً دَعَتْهُ مُوآبَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ مِنَ الأَبِ)، وَهُوَ أَبُو الْمُوآبِيِّينَ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ،٣٧
38 And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
أَمَّا الصُّغْرَى فَوَلَدَتِ ابْناً وَدَعَتْهُ «بِنْ عَمِّي» (وَمَعْنَاهُ ابْنُ قَوْمِي) وَهُوَ أَبُو بَنِي عَمُّونَ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ.٣٨
