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,
其二個の天使黄昏にソドムに至るロト時にソドムの門に坐し居たりしがこれを視起て迎へ首を地にさげて
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."
言けるは我主よ請ふ僕の家に臨み足を濯ひて宿りつとに起て途に遄征たまへ彼等言ふ否我等は街衢に宿らんと
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.
然ど固く強ければ遂に彼の所に臨みて其家に入るロト乃ち彼等のために筵を設け酵いれぬパンを炊て食はしめたり
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.
斯て未だ寢ざる前に邑の人々即ちソドムの人老たるも若きも諸共に四方八方より來たれる民皆其家を環み
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."
ロトを呼て之に言けるは今夕爾に就たる人は何處にをるや彼等を我等の所に携へ出せ我等之を知らん
6 Lot went out to them at the entrance, and shut the door behind him.
ロト入口に出て其後の戸を閉ぢ彼等の所に至りて
7 He said, "Please, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.
言けるは請ふ兄弟よ惡き事を爲すなかれ
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."
我に未だ男知ぬ二人の女あり請ふ我之を携へ出ん爾等の目に善と見ゆる如く之になせよ唯此人等は旣に我家の蔭に入たれば何をも之になすなかれ
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.
彼等曰ふ爾退け又言けるは此人は來り寓れる身なるに恒に士師とならんとす然ば我等彼等に加ふるよりも多くの害を爾に加へんと遂に彼等酷しく其人ロトに逼り前よりて其戸を破んとせしに
10 But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
彼二人其手を舒しロトを家の内に援いれて其戸を閉ぢ
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.
家の入口にをる人衆をして大なるも小も倶に目を眩しめければ彼等遂に入口を索ぬるに困憊たり
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:
斯て二人ロトに言けるは外に爾に屬する者ありや汝の婿子女および凡て邑にをりて爾に屬する者を此所より携へ出べし
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."
此處の號呼ヱホバの前に大になりたるに因て我等之を滅さんとすヱホバ我等を遣はして之を滅さしめたまふ
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.
ロト出て其女を娶る婿等に告て言けるはヱホバが邑を滅したまふべければ爾等起て此處を出よと然ど婿等は之を戲言と視爲り
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."
曉に及て天使ロトを促して言けるは起て此なる爾の妻と二人の女を携へよ恐くは爾邑の惡とともに滅されん
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.
然るに彼遲延ひしかば二人其手と其妻の手と其二人の女の手を執て之を導き出し邑の外に置りヱホバ斯彼に仁慈を加へたまふ
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."
旣に之を導き出して其一人曰けるは逃遁て汝の生命を救へ後を回顧るなかれ低地の中に止るなかれ山に遁れよ否ずば爾滅されん
18 Lot said to them, "Oh, not so, my lord.
ロト彼等に言けるはわが主よ請ふ斯したまふなかれ
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.
視よ僕爾の目のまへに恩を得たり爾大なる仁慈を吾に施してわが生命を救たまふ吾山に遁る能はず恐くは災害身に及びて死るにいたらん
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."
視よ此邑は遁ゆくに近くして且小し我をして彼處に遁れしめよしからば吾生命全からん是は小き邑なるにあらずや
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.
天使之にいひけるは視よ我此事に關ても亦爾の願を容たれば爾が言ふところの邑を滅さじ
22 Hurry, escape there, for I can't do anything until you get there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
急ぎて彼處に遁れよ爾が彼處に至るまでは我何事をも爲を得ずと是に因て其邑の名はゾアル(小し)と稱る
23 The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
ロト、ゾアルに至れる時日地の上に昇れり
24 Then God rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the sky.
ヱホバ硫黄と火をヱホバの所より即ち天よりソドムとゴモラに雨しめ
25 He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.
其邑と低地と其邑の居民および地に生るところの物を盡く滅したまへり
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
ロトの妻は後を回顧たれば鹽の柱となりぬ
27 Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before God.
アブラハム其朝夙に起て其嘗てヱホバの前に立たる處に至り
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.
ソドム、ゴモラおよび低地の全面を望み見るに其地の烟燄窰の烟のごとくに騰上れり
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.
神低地の邑を滅したまふ時即ちロトの住る邑を滅したまふ時に當り神アブラハムを眷念て斯其滅亡の中よりロトを出したまへり
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.
斯てロト、ゾアルに居ることを懼れたれば其二人の女と偕にゾアルを出て上りて山に居り其二人の女子とともに巖穴に住り
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.
茲に長女季女にいひけるは我等の父は老いたり又此地には我等に偶て世の道を成す人あらず
32 Come, let's make our father drink wine, and we will sleep with him, that we may preserve our family through our father."
然ば我等父に酒を飮せて與に寢ね父に由て子を得んと
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.
遂に其夜父に酒を飮せ長女入て其父と與に寢たり然るにロトは女の起臥を知ざりき
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."
翌日長女季女に言けるは我昨夜わが父と寢たり我等此夜又父に酒をのません爾入て與に寢よわれらの父に由て子を得ることをえんと
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.
乃ち其夜も亦父に酒をのませ季女起て父と與に寢たりロトまた女の起臥を知ざりき
36 Thus both of Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father.
斯ロトの二人の女其父によりて孕みたり
37 The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.
長女子を生み其名をモアブと名く即ち今のモアブ人の先祖なり
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.
季女も亦子を生み其名をベニアンミと名く即ち今のアンモニ人の先祖なり
