Genesis 19
1 The two angels came to Sodom [Burning] at evening. Lot [Veil, Covering] sat in the gate of Sodom [Burning]. Lot [Veil, Covering] saw them, and rose up to meet them. He bowed himself with his face to the earth,
Malaika wawili wakaja Sodoma jioni, wakati ambao Lutu alikuwa amekaa langoni mwa Sodoma. Lutu akawaona, akainuka kuwalaki, na akainama uso wake chini ardhini.
2 and he said, “See now, my lords, please turn aside into your servant’s house, stay all night, wash your feet, and you can rise up early, and go on your way.” They said, “No, but we will stay in the street all night.”
Akasema, Tafadhari Bwana zangu, nawasihi mgeuke mwende kwenye nyumba ya mtumishi wenu, mlale pale usiku na muoshe miguu yenu. Kisha muamke asubuhi na mapema muondoke.” Nao wakasema, “Hapana, usiku tutalala mjini.”
3 He urged them greatly, and they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked matzah ·unleavened bread·, and they ate.
Lakini akawasihi sana, mwishowe wakaondoka pamoja nae, na wakaingia katika nyumba yake. Akaandaa chakula na kuoka mkate usiotiwa chachu, wakala.
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom [Burning], surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.
Lakini kabla hawaja lala, wanaume wa mji, wa Sodoma, vijana kwa wazee wakaizunguka nyumba, wanaume wote kutoka kila kona ya mji.
5 They called to Lot [Veil, Covering], 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.”
Wakamwita Lutu, na kumwambia, “Wale wanaume walioingia kwako usiku wakowapi? watoe hapa nje waje kwetu, ili tuweze kulala nao.”
6 Lot [Veil, Covering] went out to them to the door, and shut the door after him.
Lutu akatoka nje na akafunga mlango.
7 He said, “Please, my brothers, don’t act so wickedly.
Akasema, “Nawasihi, ndugu zangu, msitende uovu.
8 See now, 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 don’t do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof.”
Tazama, nina mabinti wawili ambao hawajawahi kulala na mwanaume yeyote. Nawaomba tafadhari niwalete kwenu, na muwafanyie lolote muonalo kuwa jema machoni penu. Msitende lolote kwa wanaume hawa, kwa kuwa wamekuja chini ya kivuli cha dari yangu.”
9 They said, “Stand back!” Then 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 [Veil, Covering], and came near to break the door.
Wakasema, “Ondoka hapa!” Wakasema pia, huyu alikuja kukaa hapa kama mgeni, na sasa amekuwa mwamuzi! Sasa tutakushugulilia vibaya wewe kuliko wao.” Wakamsonga sana huyo mtu, huyo Lutu, na wakakaribia kuvunja mlango.
10 But the men reached out their hand, and brought Lot [Veil, Covering] into the house to them, and shut the door.
Lakini wale wanaume wakamkamata Lutu na kumweka ndani na wakafunga mlango.
11 They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
Kisha wale wageni wa Lutu wakawapiga kwa upofu wale wanaume waliokuwa nje ya nyumba, vijana na wazee kwa pamoja, kiasi kwamba wakachoka wakati wakiutafuta mlango.
12 The men said to Lot [Veil, Covering], “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:
Basi wale watu wakamwambia Lutu, Je una mtu mwingine yeyote hapa? wakwe zako, wanao na mabinti zako, na yeyote mwingine katika huu mji, ukawatoe hapa.
13 for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before Adonai that Adonai has sent us to destroy it.”
Kwa kuwa tunakaribia kuiangamiza sehemu hii, kwa sababu mashitaka dhidi yake mbele ya Yahwe yamezidi kiasi kwamba ametutuma kuuangamiza.”
14 Lot [Veil, Covering] 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 Adonai will destroy the city.” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.
Lutu akatoka na akazungumza na wakwe zake, wanaume ambao walikuwa wamewaposa binti zake, akawambia, “Ondokeni upesi mahali hapa, kwa kuwa Yahwe anakaribia kuuangamiza mji.” Lakini kwa wakwe zake alionekana kuwa anawatania.
15 When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot [Veil, Covering], saying, “Get up! Take your wife, and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the depravity (moral evil) of the city.”
Alfajiri, malaika wakamsihi Lutu, wakisema, ondoka, mtwae mkeo na binti zako wawili ambao wako hapa, ili kwamba usipotelee katika adhabu ya mji huu.”
16 But he lingered; and the men grabbed his hand, his wife’s hand, and his two daughters’ hands, Adonai being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.
Lakini akakawia-kawia. Kwa hiyo watu wale wakamshika mkono wake, na mkono wa mkewe, na mikono ya binti zake wawili, kwa sababu Yahwe alimhurumia. Wakawatoa nje, na kuwaweka nje ya mji.
17 It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, “Escape for your life! Don’t look behind you, and don’t stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be consumed!”
Wakisha kuwatoa nje mmoja wa wale watu akasema, “jiponye nafsi yako! usitazame nyuma, au usikae mahali popote kwenye hili bonde. Toroka uende milimani ili kwamba usije ukatoweshwa mbali.”
18 Lot [Veil, Covering] said to them, “Oh, not so, my lord.
Lutu akawambia, “Hapana, tafadhali bwana zangu!
19 See now, your servant has found chen ·grace· in your sight, and you have magnified your chesed ·loving-kindness·, which you have shown to me in saving my life. I can’t escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die.
Mtumishi wenu amepata kibali machoni pako, na umenionesha wema ulio mkuu kwa kuokoa maisha yangu, lakini sitaweza kutorokea milimani, kwa sababu mabaya yataniwahi na nitakufa.
20 See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little town. Oh let me escape there, is not it a little one?, and there I will be safe.”
Tazama, ule mji pale uko karibu nijisalimishe pale, na ni mdogo. Tafadhari niacheni nikimbilie pale ( Je Siyo mdogo ule?), na maisha yangu yataokolewa.”
21 He said to him, “Behold, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.
Akamwambia, “Sawa, nimekubali ombi hili pia, kwamba sitaangamiza mji ambaoumeutaja.
22 Hurry, escape there, for I can’t do anything until you get there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar [Small].
Harakisha! toroka uende pale, kwa kuwa sitafanya chochote mpaka ufike pale.” kwa hiyo mji ule ukaitwa Soari.
23 The sun had risen on the earth when Lot [Veil, Covering] came to Zoar [Small].
Jua lilikuwa limekwisha chomoza juu ya nchi wakati Lutu alipofika Soari.
24 Then Adonai caused sulfur and fire to rain down upon Sodom [Burning] and Gomorrah [Rebellious people, Tyrants] from Adonai out of the sky.
Kisha Yahwe akanyesha juu ya Sodoma na Gomora kiberiti na moto toka kwa Yahwe mbinguni.
25 He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.
Akaharibu miji ile, na bonde lote, na vyote vilivyomo katika miji, na mimea iliyo chipua juu ya ardhi.
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Lakini mke wa Lutu aliye kuwa nyuma yake, akatazama nyuma, na akawa nguzo ya chumvi.
27 Abraham [Father of a multitude] got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Adonai.
Abraham akaamuka asubuhi na mapema akaenda mahali alipokuwa amesimama mbele ya Yahwe.
28 He looked toward Sodom [Burning] and Gomorrah [Rebellious people, Tyrants], and toward all the land of the plain, and looked, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.
Akatazama chini kuelekea Sodoma na Gomora na kuelekea katika nchi yote bondeni. Akaona na tazama, moshi ulikuwauki ukienda juu kutoka chini kama moshi wa tanuru.
29 When God destroyed the 'Ieyr HaKikar [Cities of the Round], God remembered Abraham [Father of a multitude], and sent Lot [Veil, Covering] out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot [Veil, Covering] lived.
Wakati Mungu alipoharibu miji ya bondeni, Mungu akamkumbuka Abraham. Akamtoa Lutu kutoka katika maangamizi alipoangamiza miji ambayo katika hiyo Lutu aliishi.
30 Lot [Veil, Covering] went up out of Zoar [Small], and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar [Small]. He lived in a cave with his two daughters.
Lakini Lutu akapanda juu kutoka Soari na kwenda kuishi katika milima akiwa pamoja na binti zake wawili, kwa sababu aliogopa kuishi Soari. Kwa hiyo akaishi pangoni, yeye na binti zake wawili.
31 The firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us in the way of all the earth.
Yule wa kwanza akamwambia yule mdogo, “Baba yetu ni mzee, na hakuna mwanaume mahali popote wa kulala na sisi kulingana na desturi ya dunia yote.
32 Come, let’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”
Njoo na tumnyweshe baba yetu mvinyo na tulale naye ili kwamba tuendeleze uzao wa baba yetu.”
33 They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Kwa hiyo wakamnywesha baba yako mvinyo usiku ule. Kisha yule wa kwanza akaingia na akalala na baba yake; Baba yake hakujua ni wakati gani alikuja kulala, wala wakati alipo amka.
34 It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine again, tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”
Siku iliyo fuata yule wa kwanza akamwambia mdogowake, “Sikiliza, usiku wa jana nililala na baba yangu. Na tumnyweshe mvinyo usiku wa leo pia, na uingie ukalale naye. Ili kwamba tuendeleze uzao wa baba yetu.”
35 They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she got up.
Kwa hiyo wakamnywesha baba yao mvinyo usiku ule pia, na yule mdogo akaenda na akalala naye. Baba yake hakujua ni wakati gani alilala, wala wakati alipoamka.
36 Thus both of Lot [Veil, Covering]’s daughters were with child by their father.
Basi hao binti wote wawili wa Lutu wakapata mimba kwa baba yao.
37 The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab [From father]. He is the father of the Moabites [Descendants of From father] to this day.
Wa kwanza akazaa mwana wa kiume, na akamwita jina lake Moabu. Akawa ndiye baba wa wamoabu hata leo.
38 The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi [Son of my people]. He is the father of the children of Ammon [Tribal people] to this day.
Nayule mdogo naye akazaa mwana wa kiume, na akamwita Benami. Huyu ndiye baba wa watu wa Waamoni hata leo.
