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.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻe toko ua ki Sotoma kuo efiafi; pea naʻe nofo ʻa Lote ʻi he matapā ʻo Sotoma, pea mamata ʻa Lote, pea tuʻu hake ia ʻo ʻalu ke fakafetaulaki kiate kinaua: pea naʻa ne punou ia mo hono mata ki he kelekele.
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.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ongo ʻeiki, mo vakai mai, ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoua, mo afe ki he fale ʻo ho mo tamaioʻeiki ʻo nofo ʻi he poōni, pea fufulu ho mo vaʻe, pea te mo tuʻu hengihengi hake pe, pea ō ʻi homo fononga. Pea naʻa na pehē, “E ʻikai; ka te mā nofo ʻi he hala he poōni.”
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.
Pea kole fakamātoato ia kiate kinaua; pea na afe ai kiate ia, ō hū ki hono fale; pea naʻa ne teu ʻena kai, pea taʻo ʻae mā taʻemeʻafakatupu, pea ne na kai.
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:
Pea naʻe teʻeki te na tokoto, mo ʻene haʻu ʻae kau tangata ʻoe kolo, ʻio, ʻae kau tangata ʻo Sotoma, ʻo nau kāpui ʻae fale, ʻae kau mātuʻa mo e talavou, ʻae kakai kotoa pē mei he potu kehekehe.
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.
Pea naʻa nau ui kia Lote ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Kofaʻā ia ʻae ongo tangata naʻe omi kiate koe he poōni? ʻOmi ʻakinaua kituʻa kiate kimautolu ke mau ʻilo ʻakinaua.”
6 And Lot went out unto them, at the entrance [of the house], and shut the door after him.
Pea ʻalu kituaʻā Lote ʻi he matapā kiate kinautolu, pea tāpuni ʻe ia ʻae matapā ʻi hono tuʻa,
7 And he said, I pray you, my brethren, do not act wickedly.
Pea ne pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ʻoua te mou fai ʻae kovi pehē ni.
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.
Vakai mai, ʻoku ai hoku ongo ʻofefine ʻoku teʻeki ai te na ʻilo ha tangata; ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, ke u ʻomi ʻakinaua kiate kimoutolu, pea mou fai kiate kinaua, ʻaia ʻoku lelei kiate kimoutolu kaeʻoua te mou fai ha meʻa ki he ongo tangata ni; he ko ia kuo na omi ai ki he malu ʻo hoku fale.”
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.
Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Tuʻu atu. Pea nau toe pehē, Ko e siana ni naʻe haʻu ia ko e ʻāunofo, pea kuo fie hoko ia ko e fakamaau nai; pea ko eni te mau fai kovi lahi kiate koe, ʻiate kinaua.” Pea naʻa nau feʻohofi mai ʻo tataʻo ʻae tangata ko Lote, pea naʻe meimei maumau ʻae matapā.
10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot to them into the house, and the door they locked.
Ka naʻe mafao atu ʻae ongo tangata hona nima ʻo toho mai ʻa Lote ki he fale kiate kinaua, pea tāpuni ʻae matapā.
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.
Pea na taaʻi ʻaki ʻae kui, ʻae kau tangata naʻe ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale, ʻae siʻi mo e lalahi: ko ia naʻa nau fiu ʻi he kumi ʻae matapā.
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.
Pea pehē ʻe he ongo tangata kia Lote, “ʻOku ai hao kāinga ʻi he potu ni? Ko ho foha ʻi he fono, mo ho ngaahi foha, mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ke maʻu ʻi he kolo ni fetuku mei he potu ni.
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.
He te ma fakaʻauha ʻae potu ni, koeʻuhi kuo hoko ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻa ʻenau tangi ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova; pea kuo fekauʻi ʻakimaua ʻe Sihova, ke fakaʻauha ia,”
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻa Lote ʻo lea ki hono ngaahi foha ʻi he fono, ʻaia naʻe uaifi mo hono ngaahi ʻofefine, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Tuʻu hake, hola mei he potu ni; koeʻuhi ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova ʻae kolo ni;” ka naʻe hangē ia ko ha tokotaha ʻoku luma, ki hono ngaahi foha ʻi he fono.
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.
Pea pongipongi hake ai, naʻe fakavave ʻa Lote ʻe he ongo ʻāngelo, ʻo pehē, “Tuʻu ʻo ʻave ho uaifi mo ho ongo ʻofefine ʻoku ʻi heni; telia naʻa ʻauha koe ʻi he angahala ʻae kolo.”
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.
Pea ʻi heʻene fakatuotuai, naʻe puke hono nima ʻe he ongo tangata, pea mo e nima ʻo hono uaifi, pea mo e nima ʻo hono ongo ʻofefine; naʻe ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova kiate ia; pea naʻa na ʻomi ia kituʻa, ʻo tuku ia ʻi he tuaʻā kolo.
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.
Pea hili ʻena ʻomi ʻakinautolu kituaʻā, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Hola ke ke moʻui ai, ʻoua naʻa ke sio ki mui, pe mālōlō ʻi he tokalelei kotoa pē, mole atu ki he moʻunga, telia naʻa ke ʻauha.”
18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my lord!
Pea pehēange ʻe Lote kiate kinaua, “Ke ʻoua naʻa pehē ʻeku ʻEiki!
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.
Vakai, kuo ʻofeina ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻi ho ʻao, Pea kuo ke fakaongo lahi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻaia kuo ke fakahā kiate au, ʻi hoʻo fakamoʻui au: pea ʻe ʻikai te u faʻa lava ki he moʻunga, telia naʻa hoko ai ha kovi kiate au, peau mate.
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.
Vakai, mai ko e kolo ni ʻoku ofi ke hola ki ai, pea ʻoku siʻi ia; ʻofa ke u hola ki ai, (ʻikai ko e siʻi ia?) Pea ʻe moʻui ai hoku laumālie.
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.
Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, kuo u tokanga kiate koe ʻi he meʻa ni foki, pea ʻe ʻikai te u fakaʻauha ʻae kolo ni ʻaia kuo ke kole ki ai.
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.
Fakatoʻotoʻo ʻo hola ki ai; he ʻoku ʻikai teu faʻa fai ha meʻa, kaeʻoua ke ke hoko ki ai;” Ko ia naʻe ui ai hono hingoa ʻoe kolo ko ia ko Soa.
23 The sun rose over the earth, when Lot entered into Zoar.
Naʻe hoko ʻa Lote ki Soa, kuo hopo ʻae laʻā ki māmani.
24 And the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire, from the Lord, out of heaven;
Pea naʻe fakaʻuha ʻe Sihova ki Sotoma mo Komola, ʻae makavela mo e afi mei ʻa Sihova ʻi he langi.
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
Pea ne fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi kolo ko ia, mo e fonua tokalelei kotoa pē, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi kolo, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa naʻe tupu ʻi he kelekele.
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Ka naʻe hanga ki mui hono uaifi, ʻi heʻene muimui ʻiate ia, pea naʻe liliu ia ko e pou māsima.
27 And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the Lord:
Pea naʻe ʻalu hengihengi hake pe ʻa ʻEpalahame ki he potu naʻe tuʻu ai ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
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.
Pea ne sio atu ki Sotoma mo Komola, pea ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻoe tokalelei, pea ne mamata, pea vakai naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kohu ʻoe fonua, ʻo hangē ko e kohu ʻoe pupuʻa afi.
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.
Pea ʻi he fakaʻauha ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻoe toafa, naʻe pehē ʻa ʻene manatuʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ʻEpalahame, ʻo ne fekau ʻa Lote mei he lotolotonga ʻoe ʻauha, ʻi heʻene fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻaia naʻe nofo ai ʻa Lote.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Lote mei Soa, mo hono ongo ʻofefine ʻo nau nofo ʻi he moʻunga: he naʻe manavahē ia ke nofo ʻi Soa; pea nofo ia ʻi he ʻanaʻi maka, ʻaia mo hono ongo ʻofefine.
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:
Pea pehē ʻe he taʻokete ki he tehina, “Kuo motuʻa ʻeta tamai, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻi māmani ke haʻu kiate kitaua, ʻo hangē ko e anga ʻo māmani.
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
Ke ta fakainu uaine ʻe ta tamai, pea te ta mohe mo ia, koeʻuhi ke ai ha hako ʻi he ʻe ta tamai.”
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.
Pea naʻa na fakainu uaine ʻena tamai ʻi he pō ko ia; pea ʻalu ʻae taʻokete ʻo mohe mo ʻene tamai: pea naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ʻene tokoto hifo, pe ko ʻene toetuʻu hake.
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.
Pea pongipongi ai, naʻe pehē ʻae lea ʻae ʻuluaki ki he tehina, “Vakai, naʻaku mohe ʻanepō ki heʻeku tamai; pea ke ta fakainu uaine ia he poōni foki; pea ke ʻalu kiate ia ke mo mohe, koeʻuhi ke ai ha hako ʻi heʻeta tamai.”
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.
Pea naʻa na fakainu uaine ʻena tamai ʻi he pō ko ia foki; pea ʻalu ange ʻae tehina, ʻo mohe mo ia pea naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ʻene tokoto hifo, pe ko ʻene tuʻu hake.
36 And both the daughters of Lot became with child by their father.
Pea feitama ai fakatouʻosi pe ʻae ongo ʻofefine ʻo Lote ki heʻena tamai.
37 And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab; the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
Pea fanauʻi ʻe he ʻuluaki ʻae tama, pea ne ui hono hingoa ko Moape, ko e tamai ia ʻae kakai Moape, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
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.
Pea fanauʻi foki ʻe he tehina ʻae tama, pea ne ui ia ko Peniami: ʻaia ko e tamai ʻae ngaahi fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
