Genesis 19
1 And two of the messengers come toward Sodom at evening, and Lot is sitting at the gate of Sodom, and Lot sees, and rises to meet them, and bows himself—face to the earth,
Og de to Engle kom til Sodoma om Aftenen; men Lot sad i Sodomas Port, og der Lot saa dem, da stod han op og gik dem i Møde og bøjede Ansigtet til Jorden.
2 and he says, “Now behold, my lords, please turn aside to the house of your servant, and lodge, and wash your feet—then you have risen early and gone on your way”; and they say, “No, but we lodge in the broad place.”
Og lian sagde: Se nu mine Herrer, kommer dog ind i eders Tjeners Hus, og bliver her i Nat, og toer eders Fødder, saa maa I staa aarle op og gaa eders Vej; og de sagde: Nej, men vi ville blive paa Gaden i Nat.
3 And he presses on them greatly, and they turn aside to him, and come into his house; and he makes a banquet for them, and has baked unleavened things; and they eat.
Da nødte han dem meget, og de gik ind til ham og kom i hans Hus, og han gjorde dem et Gæstebud og bagede usyrede Brød, og de aade.
4 Before they lie down, the men of the city—men of Sodom—have surrounded the house, from young even to aged, all the people from the extremity;
Men førend de lagde sig, da omringede Mændene af Staden, Mændene af Sodoma, Huset, baade ung og gammel, det ganske Folk allesteds fra.
5 and they call to Lot and say to him, “Where [are] the men who have come to you tonight? Bring them out to us, and we know them.”
Og de kaldte ad Lot og sagde til ham: Hvor ere de Mænd, som kom til dig i Nat? før dem ud til os, at vi maa kende dem.
6 And Lot goes out to them, to the opening, and the door has shut behind him,
Da gik Lot ud til dem uden for Døren og lukkede Døren efter sig.
7 and says, “Please, my brothers, do not do evil;
Og han sagde: Mine Brødre, kære, gører dem intet ondt!
8 now behold, I have two daughters who have not known anyone; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them as [is] good in your eyes; only do nothing to these men, for therefore they have come in within the shadow of my roof.”
Se, kære, jeg har to Døtre, som ikke have kendt Mand, kære, jeg vil lede dem ud til eder, gører saa med dem, hvad eder godt synes; kun disse Mænd maa I ikke gøre noget; thi derfor ere de komne under mit Tags Skygge.
9 And they say, “Come near here”; they also say, “This one has come to sojourn, and he certainly judges! Now, we do evil to you more than [to] them”; and they press against the man, against Lot greatly, and come near to break the door.
Og de sagde: Kom nærmere; og de sagde: Denne ene er kommen at bosætte sig her og vil dømme; nu, vi ville gøre dig mere ondt end dem; saa trængte de saare hart ind paa Manden, paa Lot, og traadte til for at bryde Døren op.
10 And the men put forth their hand, and bring in Lot to them, into the house, and have shut the door;
Da udrakte Mændene deres Hænder og toge Lot ind til sig i Huset og lukkede Døren.
11 and the men who [are] at the opening of the house they have struck with blindness, from small even to great, and they weary themselves to find the opening.
Og Mændene, som vare uden for Husets Dør, sloge de med Blindhed, baade liden og stor, og disse søgte med Møje at finde Døren.
12 And the men say to Lot, “Whom have you here still? Son-in-law, your sons also, and your daughters, and all whom you have in the city, bring out from this place;
Da sagde de Mænd til Lot: Har du endnu her nogen Svigersøn eller Sønner eller Døtre af dig eller nogen, som hører dig til i Staden, saa før dem ud fra dette Sted!
13 for we are destroying this place, for their cry has been great [before] the face of YHWH, and YHWH does send us to destroy it.”
Thi vi skulle ødelægge dette Sted; thi deres Skrig er blevet stort for Herrens Aasyn, og Herren sendte os til at ødelægge den.
14 And Lot goes out and speaks to his sons-in-law, those taking his daughters, and says, “Rise, go out from this place, for YHWH is destroying the city”; and he is as [one] mocking in the eyes of his sons-in-law.
Og Lot gik ud og talede med sine Svigersønner, som skulde tage hans Døtre, og sagde: Staar op, gaar ud fra dette Sted, thi Herren vil ødelægge Staden; men han syntes for hans Svigersønners Øjne, som han gækkede.
15 And when the dawn has ascended, then the messengers press on Lot, saying, “Rise, take your wife, and your two daughters who are found present, lest you are consumed in the iniquity of the city.”
Og der det begyndte at dages, da skyndte Englene paa Lot og sagde: Staa op, tag din Hustru og dine to Døtre, som ere til Stede, at ikke ogsaa du omkommer ved Stadens Misgerning.
16 And he lingers, and the men lay hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters, through the mercy of YHWH to him, and they bring him out, and cause him to rest outside the city.
Der han tøvede, da toge Mændene ham ved Haanden og hans Hustru ved Haanden og hans to Døtre ved Haanden, fordi Herren vilde spare ham, og de førte ham ud og lode ham blive uden for Staden.
17 And it comes to pass, when he has brought them outside, that he says, “Escape for your life; do not look behind you, nor stand in all the circuit; escape to the mountain, lest you are consumed.”
Og det skete, der de havde ført dem udenfor, da sagde den ene: Frels dit Liv, se ikke bag dig, og stands ikke paa hele Sletten, frels dig paa Bjerget, at du ikke omkommer.
18 And Lot says to them, “Oh not [so], my lord;
Da sagde Lot til dem: Ak nej, Herre!
19 now behold, your servant has found grace in your eyes, and you make great your kindness which you have done with me by saving my life, and I am unable to escape to the mountain, lest the evil cleave [to] me and I have died;
Se nu, din Tjener har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, og du har ladet din Miskundhed blive stor, som du har bevist mig, ved at lade mig leve; og jeg kan ikke frelse mig paa Bjerget, Ulykken maatte komme paa mig, saa at jeg døde.
20 now behold, this city [is] near to flee there, and it [is] little; please let me escape there (is it not little?) that my soul may live.”
Se, kære, denne Stad er nær ved, den kunde jeg fly til, og den samme er liden; kære, der vil jeg frelse mig, er den ikke liden? at min Sjæl maa leve.
21 And he says to him, “Behold, I have also accepted your face for this thing, without overthrowing the city [for] which you have spoken;
Da sagde han til ham: Se, jeg har og bønhørt dig i dette Stykke, at jeg ikke vil omstyrte den Stad, som du har talt om,
22 hurry, escape there, for I am not able to do anything until your entering there”; therefore he calls the name of the city Zoar.
Skynd dig, red dig der! thi jeg kan intet gøre, før du kommer derhen; derfor kaldes den Stads Navn Zoar.
23 The sun has gone out on the earth, and Lot has entered into Zoar,
Solen var opgangen over Jorden, og Lot kom til Zoar.
24 and YHWH has rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah brimstone and fire from YHWH, from the heavens;
Herren lod regne over Sodoma og over Gomorra Svovl og Ild, fra Herren af Himmelen.
25 and He overthrows these cities, and all the circuit, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which is shooting up from the ground.
Og han omstyrtede disse Stæder og den ganske Egn og alle Indbyggerne i Stæderne og Jordens Grøde.
26 And his wife looks from behind him, and she becomes a pillar of salt!
Da saa hans Hustru om bag ham og blev en Saltstøtte.
27 And Abraham rises early in the morning to the place where he has stood [before] the face of YHWH;
Og Abraham skyndte sig aarle op om Morgenen til Stedet, hvor han havde staaet for Herrens Ansigt.
28 and he looks on the face of Sodom and Gomorrah, and on all the face of the land of the circuit, and sees, and behold, the smoke of the land went up as smoke of the furnace.
Og han vendte sit Ansigt til Sodoma og Gomorra og til hele Landet paa Sletten, og han saa, og se, en Røg steg op af Landet som en Røg af en Ovn.
29 And it comes to pass, in God’s destroying the cities of the circuit, that God remembers Abraham, and sends Lot out of the midst of the overthrow in the overthrowing of the cities in which Lot dwelt.
Og det skete, der Gud ødelagde Stæderne paa Sletten, da kom Gud Abraham i Hu, og han lod Lot føre ud midt af Ødelæggelsen, der han omstyrtede de Stæder, som Lot boede udi.
30 And Lot goes up out of Zoar, and dwells in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, for he has been afraid of dwelling in Zoar, and he dwells in a cave, he and his two daughters.
Og Lot gik op fra Zoar og blev paa Bjerget, og begge hans Døtre med ham; thi han frygtede for at blive i Zoar, og han blev i en Hule, han og begge hans Døtre.
31 And the firstborn says to the younger, “Our father [is] old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us, as [is] the way of all the earth;
Da sagde den førstefødte til den yngste: vor Fader er gammel, og der er ikke en Mand i dette Land, som kan komme til os efter al Jordens Vis.
32 come, we cause our father to drink wine, and lie with him, and preserve a seed from our father.”
Kom, lader os give vor Fader Vin at drikke og ligge hos ham, saa faa vi Sæd af vor Fader.
33 And they cause their father to drink wine on that night; and the firstborn goes in and lies with her father, and he has not known in her lying down or in her rising up.
Saa gave de deres Fader Vin at drikke den samme Nat, og den førstefødte gik ind og lagde sig hos sin Fader, og han fornam ikke, der hun lagde sig, eller der hun stod op.
34 And it comes to pass, on the next day, that the firstborn says to the younger, “Behold, I have lain with my father last night: we also cause him to drink wine tonight, then go in, lie with him, and we preserve a seed from our father.”
Og det skete den anden Dag, da sagde den førstefødte til den yngste: se, i Gaar Nat laa jeg hos min Fader, lader os ogsaa i denne Nat give ham Vin at drikke, og gak ind, lig hos ham, at vi kunne faa Sæd af vor Fader.
35 And they cause their father to drink wine on that night also, and the younger rises and lies with him, and he has not known in her lying down or in her rising up.
Saa gave de deres Fader ogsaa i den samme Nat Vin at drikke, saa gjorde den yngste sig rede og laa hos ham, og han fornam ikke, der hun lagde gig, eller der hun stod op.
36 And the two daughters of Lot conceive from their father,
Saa undfik begge Lots Døtre af deres Fader.
37 and the firstborn bears a son and calls his name Moab: he [is] father of Moab to this day.
Og den førstefødte fødte en Søn, og hun kaldte hans Navn Moab; han er de Moabiters Fader indtil denne Dag.
38 As for the younger, she has also born a son and calls his name Ben-Ammi: he [is] father of the sons of Ammon to this day.
Og den yngste fødte ogsaa en Søn og kaldte hans Navn Ben-Ammi; han er Ammons Børns Fader indtil denne Dag.
