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,
De to Engle kom nu til Sodoma ved Aftenstid. Lot sad i Sodomas Port, og da han fik Øje på dem, stod han op og gik dem i Møde, bøjede sig 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 sagde: "Kære Herrer, tag dog ind og overnat i eders Træls Hus og tvæt eders Fødder; i Morgen tidlig kan I drage videre!" Men de sagde: "Nej, vi vil overnatte på Gaden."
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 stærkt, og de tog ind i hans Hus; derpå tilberedte han dem et Måltid og bagte usyrede Kager, og de spiste.
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 endnu før de havde lagt sig, stimlede Byens Folk, Indbyggerne i Sodoma, sammen omkring Huset, både gamle og unge, alle uden Undtagelse,
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 råbte til Lot: "Hvor er de Mænd, der kom til dig i Nat Kom herud med dem, for at vi kan stille vor Lyst på dem!"
6 And Lot goes out to them, to the opening, and the door has shut behind him,
Da gik Lot ud til dem i Porten, men Døren lukkede han efter sig.
7 and says, “Please, my brothers, do not do evil;
Og han sagde: "Gør dog ikke noget ondt, mine Brødre!
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, jeg har to Døtre, der ikke har kendt Mand; dem vil jeg bringe ud til eder, og med dem kan I gøre, hvad I lyster; men disse Mænd må I ikke gøre noget, siden de nu engang er kommet ind 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.
Men de sagde: "Bort med dig! Her er den ene Mand kommet og bor som fremmed, og nu vil han spille Dommer! Kom, lad os handle værre med ham end med dem!" Og de trængte ind på Manden, på Lot, og nærmede sig Døren for at sprænge den.
10 And the men put forth their hand, and bring in Lot to them, into the house, and have shut the door;
Da rakte Mændene Hånden ud og trak Lot ind til sig 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.
men Mændene uden for Porten til Huset slog de med Blindhed, både store og små, så de forgæves søgte at finde Porten.
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;
Derpå sagde Mændene til Lot: "Hvem der ellers hører dig til her, dine Svigersønner, dine Sønner og Døtre, alle, som hører dig til i Byen, må du føre bort 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 står i Begreb med at ødelægge Stedet her, fordi Skriget over dem er blevet så stort for HERREN, at HERREN har sendt os for at ødelægge dem."
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.
Da gik Lot ud og sagde til sine Svigersønner, der skulde ægte hans Døtre: "Stå op, gå bort herfra, thi HERREN vil ødelægge Byen!" Men hans Svigersønner troede, at han drev Spøg med dem.
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.”
Da Morgenen så gryede, skyndede Englene på Lot og sagde: "Tag din Hustru og dine to Døtre, som bor hos dig, og drag bort, for at du ikke skal rives bort ved Byens Syndeslkyld!"
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.
Og da han tøvede, greb Mændene ham, hans Hustru og hans to Døtre ved Hånden, thi HERREN vilde skåne ham, og de førte ham bort og bragte ham i Sikkerhed uden for Byen.
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 idet de førte dem uden for Byen, sagde de: "Det gælder dit Liv! Se dig ikke tilbage og stands ikke nogensteds i Jordanegnen, men red dig op i Bjergene, for at du ikke skal omkomme!"
18 And Lot says to them, “Oh not [so], my lord;
Men Lot sagde 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;
Din Træl har jo fundet Nåde for dine Øjne, og du har vist mig stor Godhed og frelst mit Liv; men jeg kan ikke nå op i Bjergene og undfly Ulykken; den indhenter mig så jeg mister Livet.
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, den By der er nær nok til at jeg kan flygte derhen; den betyder jo ikke stort, lad mig redde mig derhen, den betyder jo ikke stort, og mit Liv er frelst!"
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 svarede han: "Også i det Stykke har jeg bønhørt dig; jeg vil ikke ødelægge den By, du nævner;
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.
men red dig hurtigt derhen, thi jeg kan intet gøre, før du når derhen!" Derfor kaldte man Byen Zoar.
23 The sun has gone out on the earth, and Lot has entered into Zoar,
Da Solen steg op over Landet og Lot var nået til Zoar,
24 and YHWH has rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah brimstone and fire from YHWH, from the heavens;
lod HERREN Svovl og Ild regne over Sodoma og Gomorra fra HERREN, fra 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 ødelagde disse Byer og hele Jordanegnen og alle Byernes Indbyggere og Landets Afgrøde.
26 And his wife looks from behind him, and she becomes a pillar of salt!
Men hans Hustru, som gik efter ham, så sig tilbage og blev til en Saltstøtte.
27 And Abraham rises early in the morning to the place where he has stood [before] the face of YHWH;
Næste Morgen, da Abraham gik hen til det Sted, hvor han havde stået hos HERREN,
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 vendte sit Blik mod Sodoma og Gomorra og hele Jordanegnen. så han Røg stige til Vejrs fra Landet som Røgen fra en Smelteovn.
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.
Da Gud tilintetgjorde Jordanegnens Byer, kom han Abraham i Hu og førte Lot ud af Ødelæggelsen, som han lod komme over de Byer, Lot boede i.
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.
Men Lot drog op fra Zoar og slog sig ned i Bjergene med sine Døtre, thi han turde ikke blive i Zoar; og han boede i en Hule med sine to 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 ældste til den yngste: "Vor Fader er gammel, og der findes ingen Mænd her i Landet, som kunde komme til os på vanlig Vis.
32 come, we cause our father to drink wine, and lie with him, and preserve a seed from our father.”
Kom, lad os give vor Fader Vin at drikke og ligge hos ham for at få Afkom ved 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.
De gav ham da Vin at drikke samme Nat; og den ældste lagde sig hos sin Fader, og han sansede hverken, at hun lagde sig, eller at 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.”
Næste Dag sagde den ældste til den yngste: "Jeg lå i Går Nat hos min Fader; nu vil vi også give ham Vin at drikke i Nat, og gå du så ind og læg dig hos ham, for at vi kan få Afkom ved 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.
Så gav de atter den Nat deres Fader Vin at drikke, og den yngste lagde sig hos ham, og han sansede hverken, at hun lagde sig, eller at hun stod op.
36 And the two daughters of Lot conceive from their father,
Således blev begge Lots Døtre frugtsommelige ved deres Fader;
37 and the firstborn bears a son and calls his name Moab: he [is] father of Moab to this day.
og den ældste fødte en Søn, som hun kaldte Moab; han er Moabs Stamfader den Dag i 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.
Ligeså fødte den yngste en Søn, som hun kaldte Ben Ammi; han er Ammoniternes Stamfader den Dag i Dag.
