< Genesis 19 >

1 The two angels came to Sodom at evening. Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them. He bowed himself with his face to the earth,
De zanj Bondye yo rive Sodòm nan aswè. Lòt te chita bò pòtay lavil la. Wè li wè yo, li leve, li al kontre yo. Li bese tèt li jouk atè pou l' di yo bonjou.
2 and he said, "See now, my lords, please turn aside into your servant's house, and stay all night, and wash your feet, then you may rise up early, and go on your way." They said, "No, but we will stay in the street all night."
Li di. Mesye, mwen la pou m' sèvi nou. Tanpri, vin lakay mwen. n'a ka lave pye nou, n'a pase nwit la la. Denmen maten, n'a leve, n'a reprann wout nou. Mesye yo reponn. Non. Nou pral pase nwit la sou laplas la.
3 But he urged them so strongly that they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
Men Lòt te fòse yo sitèlman, y' al lakay li avè l'. Lòt pare yon bon manje pou yo, li fè pen san ledven. Epi yo manje.
4 But before they could lie down to sleep, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.
Yo pa t' ankò kouche, lè mesye lavil Sodòm yo, jenn gason kou vye tonton, sènen kay la. tout gason nan lavil la te kouri vini.
5 They called to Lot, and said to him, "Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them."
Yo rele Lòt, yo di l' konsa. Kote mesye ki vin pase nwit lakay ou aswè a? Fè yo soti vin jwenn nou pou nou kouche ak yo?
6 Lot went out to them at the entrance, and shut the door behind him.
Lòt soti al jwenn yo nan papòt la. Li fèmen pòt la dèyè do l',
7 He said, "Please, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.
li di yo konsa Tanpri, mezanmi. Pa fè bagay sal sa a.
8 Look, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them what seems good to you. Only do not do anything to these men, because they have come under the protection of my roof."
Gade, mwen gen de pitit fi ki tifi toujou, m'ap mennen yo ban nou. Nou mèt fè sa nou vle avèk yo. Men, pa fè mesye sa yo anyen, paske mwen resevwa yo lakay mwen, mwen fèt pou m' pwoteje yo.
9 They said, "Stand back." They said, "This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now will we deal worse with you, than with them." They pressed hard on the man Lot, and drew near to break the door.
Men, yo di. Wete kò ou la. Se moun vini ou ye! Kisa ou ye atò pou ou vin di nou sa pou nou fè. Sispann fè radòt la a, anvan nou pa fè ou pi mal pase yo. Sa ou tande a, yo bourade Lòt, epi yo pwoche pou yo defonse pòt la.
10 But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
Men, de mesye yo ki te anndan an lonje men yo, yo rale Lòt antre anndan, epi yo fèmen pòt la.
11 They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they were unable to find the door.
Lèfini, yo vegle tout mesye ki te devan pòt kay la, depi pi piti a jouk pi gran an. Se konsa mesye yo t'ap vire tounen adwat agoch, yo pa t' kapab jwenn kote pòt kay la te ye.
12 The men said to Lot, "Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whoever you have in the city, bring them out of the place:
De mesye yo pale ak Lòt, yo di l' konsa. Ki moun ankò ou gen nan lavil la? Pran bofi ou yo, pitit gason ou yo, ak pitit fi ou yo ansanm ak tout bagay ou gen nan lavil la, mete kò ou deyò.
13 for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before God that he has sent us to destroy it."
Nou pral detwi tout bò isit la. Seyè a te tande tout sa yo t'ap di sou moun lavil sa a. Li voye nou detwi l'.
14 Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, "Get up. Get out of this place, for God will destroy the city." But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.
Lòt soti, li al jwenn mari pitit fi li yo, li di yo. Leve non, fè vit, ann met deyò. Seyè a pral detwi lavil la. Men bofi li yo te kwè se jwe li t'ap jwe.
15 When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot along, saying, "Get up. Take your wife, and your two daughters who are here, and get out, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city."
Kou jou pral kase, zanj Bondye yo leve Lòt pou l' fè vit. Yo di l'. Fè vit non, monchè! Pran madanm ou ak de pitit fi ou yo, met deyò. Si se pa sa, n'ap mouri tout lè Bondye ap pini lavil la.
16 But he hesitated, so the men grabbed his hand, his wife's hand, and his two daughters' hands, God being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.
Lè yo wè Lòt t'ap kalbende, yo pran men li, yo pran men madanm li ansanm ak de pitit fi li yo, yo mennen yo andeyò lavil la, yo lage yo. Yo te fè sa, paske Seyè a te gen pitye pou Lòt.
17 It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, "Escape for your life. Do not look behind you, and do not stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, or you will be swept away."
Apre zanj yo te fin fè yo soti nan lavil la, yo di l'. Sove poul ou, si ou pa vle mouri. Pa gad dèyè. Pa rete menm nan plenn lan. Kouri al nan mòn yo pou ou pa pase tou.
18 Lot said to them, "Oh, not so, my lord.
Men, Lòt reponn li. O! Non, Mèt. Tanpri, pa mande m' tout sa.
19 See now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your loving kindness, which you have shown to me in saving my life. I can't escape to the mountain, lest the disaster overtake me, and I die.
Gade, ou deja fè m' yon gwo favè. Ou moutre m' jan ou gen pitye anpil pou mwen. Ou sove lavi m'. Men, mòn lan twò lwen. m'a mouri anvan m' rive, malè a va gen tan rive sou mwen.
20 See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there--isn't it a little one?--and my life will be saved."
Gade: ou wè ti bouk sa a? Li toupre. m'a gen tan rive la pou m' kache kò mwen. Tanpri, kite m' ale la. Ou wè se yon ti kote ki tout piti. Konsa m'a sove lavi m'.
21 He said to him, "Look, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.
Zanj lan di l'. Dakò, Mwen fè ou favè sa a ankò: mwen p'ap detwi ti bouk w'ap pale m' lan.
22 Hurry, escape there, for I can't do anything until you get there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
Kouri vit ale. Mwen p'ap ka fè anyen toutotan ou poko rive la. Se poutèt sa yo rele ti bouk la Zoa.
23 The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
Solèy te fèk ap leve lè Lòt rive Zoa.
24 Then God rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the sky.
Lè sa a, Seyè a fè yon sèl lapli souf ak dife soti nan syèl la tonbe sou Sodòm ak Gomò. Wi, se Seyè a menm ki te fè sa.
25 He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.
Li detwi de lavil sa yo ak tout plenn lan ansanm ak tout moun ki te rete nan lavil yo ak tout plant ki t'ap pouse nan tè a.
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Men, madan Lòt vire gade dèyè. Lamenm li tounen yon gwo estati sèl.
27 Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before God.
Nan granmaten, Abraram leve, li ale kote li te kanpe ap pale ak Seyè a.
28 He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and he saw; and look, the smoke was rising from the land like smoke from a furnace.
Li voye je l' bò Sodòm ak Gomò, li wè tout plenn lan. Epi li rete konsa li wè gwo lafimen ap moute soti nan tè a tankou lafimen k'ap leve nan yon gwo founo dife.
29 It happened, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.
Se konsa, lè Bondye t'ap detwi lavil yo nan plenn lan, li chonje Abraram. Li fè Lòt chape anba malè li tapral lage sou lavil kote li te rete a.
30 Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters.
Men Lòt te pè rete nan bouk Zoa a. Se konsa, li menm ak de pitit li yo, yo soti Zoa, yo moute, y al rete nan mòn yo. Yo fè kay yo nan yon gwo twou wòch.
31 The firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man in the land to sleep with us according to the custom of all the land.
Pi gran fi a di pi piti a. Papa nou ap fin granmoun. Pa gen gason nan peyi a pou marye ak nou pou nou ka fè pitit jan sa fèt toupatou.
32 Come, let's make our father drink wine, and we will sleep with him, that we may preserve our family through our father."
Vini non. Annou fè papa bwè diven jouk li sou. Apre sa, n'a kouche avè l'. Konsa, n'a fè pitit pou papa nou.
33 They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and slept with her father. He did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Menm jou sa a, lè aswè rive, yo fè papa yo bwè diven jouk li sou. Pi gran fi a kouche ak papa l'. Men, papa a te sitèlman sou, li pa t' konn anyen.
34 It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, "Look, I slept last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine again tonight. You go in, and sleep with him, that we may preserve our family through our father."
Nan denmen, pi gran an di pi piti a. Yèswa, mwen te kouche ak papa m'. Aswè a se tout pa ou: N'ap fè l' bwè diven ankò jouk li sou. Epi w'a al kouche avè l', pou nou de nou kapab fè pitit pou papa nou.
35 They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and slept with him. He did not know when she lay down, nor when she got up.
Se konsa, lè aswè rive, yo fè papa a bwè diven ankò jouk li sou. Epi pi piti a kouche avè l'. Men, fwa sa a ankò, Lòt pa t' konnen anyen.
36 Thus both of Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father.
Se konsa de pitit fi Lòt yo vin ansent pou papa yo.
37 The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.
Pi gran an fè yon pitit gason, li rele l' Moab. Se li menm ki zansèt moun Moab yo ki la jouk koulye a.
38 The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. He is the father of the people of Ammon to this day.
Pi piti a tout fè yon pitit gason. Li rele l' Bennami. Se li menm ki zansèt moun Amon yo ki la jouk jòdi a.
