Genesis 19
1 That evening, the two angels arrived in Sodom. Lot was sitting at the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to greet them, and prostrated himself with his face on the ground.
Hiche ni nilhah lam in vantil ni ahung lhon in ahile Lot chu Sodom khopi kelkot a anatou pet ahin Lot in vantil teni amu phat chun alamto dingin akipat don in amani masanga tol ah abohkhup'in ahi.
2 He said to them, “Gentlemen, please stay in my house tonight. You can wash your feet, and tomorrow you can continue your journey.” But they said, “No, we will just sleep in the city square.”
Chuin Lot in hitin aseiye, “Ka Pakai hung un ka insunga nakeng hung kisop lhonin, chule tujan kain a geh lhon inlang, jingpi matah in thou lhon in lang na kholche na lhon aban na jom thei lhon ahi,” atile, amanin ahi poi hithei ponte ati lhon in “Keini tujan hiche mun a ong dunga geh mai lhon tange,” ati.
3 But Lot kept insisting strongly that they sleep in his house. So they entered his house with him, and he prepared a meal for them. He baked some bread without yeast, and they ate it.
Hinlah Lot in aha sei behset jeh chun amani jong Lot in lang a geh din ache tauve, hichun Lot in amani neh ding chol kisolou changlhah akanpeh in amani in jong ane lhon tai.
4 After they finished eating, before they went to bed, the men of Sodom [city], all of them, from the young ones to the old ones, surrounded the house.
Hinlah anehjou don khojin masang chun Sodom khopi sunga khangthah, tehse, kiti jouse ahung kikhom un amaho gena in chu aum kimvel tauvin ahi.
5 They called out to Lot, saying, “Where are the men who came to your house this evening? Bring them out, so that we can have sex with them!” [EUP]
Amaho chun Lot henga asam tauvin “Nangma koma ageh dinga hungho chu hoilam a nakoi hitam? amani chu hinpui doh in amani chutoh ka lupkhom diu ahi tin athum tauve.”
6 Lot went outside the house and shut the door behind him, so that they could not go inside.
Hichun Lot chu ahung pot doh in amaho toh kihoulim din, anung lam a kot chu akhah in ahi.
7 He said to them, “My friends, don’t do such an evil thing!
“Lungset tah in sopite ho” tin ama atao tan, “Hitobang thilphalou hi bolda uvin.”
8 Listen to me. I have two daughters who have never had sex with any man. Let me bring them out to you now, and you can do with them whatever pleases you. But don’t do anything to these men, because they are guests in my house, [so I must protect them]!”
Veuvin Keiman chanu nungah thengsel ni kaneiye. Keiman ka chanu teni hin puidoh ing ting nangho koma, amani chu nadei dei a nabol theiyu ahi.
9 But they replied, “Get out of our way! You are a foreigner; so you have no right to tell us what is right! [If you don’t get out of our way], we will do worse things to you than we will do to them!” Then they lunged towards Lot, and tried forcefully to break down the door.
Hinlah amahon Lot chu “Kinung chen,” ati uvin, chu jongle amahon aseiyun “Hiche pa hi ahung khopem len chule eiho thutanna pang ding akigo vehta! tua amaho (Vantil teni), ki gim bol na ding sanga nangma agilou cheh a kabol ding'u nahi,” atiuve. Hitichun Lot chu hatah in anouvin kotpi jong chu phutjal ding in ahin go tauve.
10 But the two angels opened the door carefully, reached out their hands, and pulled Lot to them inside the house. Then they quickly shut the door.
Hichun vantil teni chun Lot chu akhut na aman lhon in akailut lhonin insunga kot chu akhah tauve.
11 Then they caused all the men who were outside the door of the house, young and old, to become blind, so that they could not find the door.
Hichun vantil teni chun kotpi phunga miho chu ateh jong akhangthah jong abonchauvin amit'u achosah lhon in ahile abonchauvin kotphung holmon akisu lungdong gam tauve.
12 Then the two angels said to Lot, “Who else is with you here? If you have sons or sons-in-law or daughters or anyone else in the city who is related to you, take them out of the city,
Phat chomkhat jou vin vantil teni chun Lot jah a hitin asei lhon e, “Hiche khopi a hi sopi ule nao adang nanei nahlai em? na chanu jipa ho hihen, na chapate hihen, na chanu ho hihen lang koi dang dang hi jong le hiche khopi sunga nangma mi poupou chu abonchauvin hiche mun akon hin pui dohtan.”
13 because we are the ones who are going to destroy this place. Yahweh considers that these people are so evil that he sent us to destroy the city.”
Ajeh chu hiche khopi hi pumsuh mang ding kati lhon ahi tai. Awgin hung kithong hi aphatmo na alen lheh tan Pathen kom ahin pha tai, chujeh a chu keini hi asumang dia eihin sol lhon ahi.
14 So Lot went and spoke to the men who had pledged to marry his daughters. He said to them, “Hurry! Get out of this city, because Yahweh is about to destroy it!” But his future sons-in-law thought he was joking.
Hijeh chun Lot chu apot doh in achanute ni jipa ding teni jah a chun, “Kinloi tah in hiche khopi akon hin potdoh loi lhon in, ajeh chu Pakaiyin hiche khopi asuhmang ding ahi tai,” aga ti leh, achanu teni jipa ding teni chun a tot dan in ana gel lhon e.
15 As it was about to dawn the next morning, the two angels urged Lot, saying, “Get up quickly! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here with you and leave! If you don’t, you will die when [we destroy/Yahweh destroys] the city!”
Kho ahung vahlhah a jingkah chun vantil teni chu ahung kino lheh lhon tan, “Gang in Lot,” tin asei peh lhon e, “na jinu chule na chanute pui doh in hikom akon in pot doh'in tutu hin achuti louleh nangma hiche khopi toh'in suhmang tha a na um ding ahiye,” ati lhon e.
16 When Lot hesitated, the angels grasped his hand and his wife’s hand and the hands of his two daughters. They led them outside the city safely. The angels did that because Yahweh was acting mercifully toward them.
Lot chu akhongai na laiyin, vantil teni chun ama khut, ajinu khut, chule achanute ni khut na aman lhon in khopi pam lam ah ajamdohpi lhon in ahi, ajeh chu Pathen in amaho angailut lheh jeng in ahi.
17 When they were outside the city, one of the angels said, “[If you want to remain alive], run away quickly! Don’t look back! And don’t stop anywhere in the valley! Flee to the hills! If you don’t, you will die!”
Amaho khopi pam langa ahin puidoh lhon phat in Vantil teni in thu amop in “Naki hinso thei na dingu vin jam dohloi jin hung jong hung kinung hei hih uvin phaicham dunga jong bangpa hihhel uvin, thinglhang lam'a jam doh loiyun achuti louleh nangma jong suhmanga na um tha khah ding ahi,” ati peh lhon e.
18 But Lot said to one of the angels, “No, sir, don’t make me do that!
Hichun Lot chun amani jah'a “Ahipoi ka Pakai,” atin!
19 Please, listen. You have been pleased with me and have been very kind to me and spared my life. But I cannot flee to the mountain. If I try to do that, I will die in this disaster [PRS].
Nangman neina ngailu lheh in chule ka hinkho jong neina huhdoh in chukeo hilouvin ngailut na sangtah jong nei musah in, Hinlah molsang langa kache jou lou ding ahiye, thinan eiphah lo ding ahi, ka hinkho kichai ding ahi.
20 But listen to me. There is a town nearby. Let me run to that small town. Let me go there now. It is a small town, but our lives will be saved if we go there.”
Vetem in khoneo phai-cham khat muthei in aum'e, jamlut nading in abailam in chule naicha bou ahi; ka kihinso na ding in lungsettah in hikom a khun nei jamlut sah tan,” ati.
21 One of the angels said to Lot, “I will allow you to do what you have requested [MTY]. I will not destroy the little town you are speaking about.
Vantil in adonbut in “aphai tua nasei jong hi nanop peh ingting, chule keiman hiche phaicham gam'a um khopi nasei jong khu sumangda tange.
22 But hurry! Run there, because I cannot destroy anything until you arrive there.” People later called the name of the town Zoar [which means ‘small’, ] because Lot said it was small.
Ahin kino gang un, jamdoh loijun, Ajeh chu keiman ima ka bolthei lou ding nangma ho khulam na lhun kahseu vin,” (Hiche in avetsah ahil chet chu khopi min chu Zoar kiti ahin hiche chu ahile khomun neocha tina ahi).
23 As the sun was rising, Lot and his family arrived in the town which is now called Zoar.
Lot Zoar mun agah lhun chun jingkah nisa hungso doh jou tah ahi.
24 Then Yahweh caused fire and [burning] sulfur to fall down on Sodom and Gomorrah like rain.
Hichun Pathen in vanthamjolla konin meikong chule hui thanei thina thei akongthei hui Sodom le Gomorrah chunga ajuh sah tai.
25 In that way, he destroyed those cities and all the people who were living in those cities. He also destroyed everything in the valley, including all the plants/vegetation.
Chule Pathen in khopi teni jong, phaicham geiya akhopi teni sunga cheng jouse ahin, tolla kehdoh thingna louna abonchan asugam hel tai.
26 But Lot’s wife stopped and looked back [to see what was happening], so she died, and her body [later] became a pillar of salt.
Hinlah Lot Inneipi chu aki nunghei jin anunglam agah vet leh chiphung asoh in khom bang in akitung den tai.
27 That morning, Abraham got up and went to the place where he had stood in front of Yahweh.
Chule Abraham chu ajing jingkah matah in ache loijin Pakai angsunga adinna mun a chun ading in,
28 He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and he [was surprised to] see that all over the valley, smoke was rising, like the smoke of a huge furnace.
Sodom le Gomorrah lam gam chu agah vesuh in ahile, vetan agam meikhu pi chu meihol kilhut bang in akhu akitung doh jen jun jeng chu amu tan ahi.
29 So, when God destroyed those cities in the valley, he remembered what he had promised Abraham, and he rescued Lot from the disaster that occurred in the cities where Lot had lived.
Hinlah Pathen in Abraham taona ageldoh in hijeh chun asopipa Lot chu phaicham khopi asuhmang masang in apuidoh in, chujou vin Lot chenna khopi teni chu a sumang tai.
30 Lot was afraid to stay in Zoar, so he left there and moved with his two daughters to the mountain, and they lived in a cave.
Chuin phat chomkhat jouvin Lot le achanu te nin Zoar mun chu adalha uvin, thinglhang lam ajon in, songko sung khat a achanute ni chu toh'a cheng khom tauve.
31 One day the older daughter said to (the younger daughter/her sister), “Our father is old, and there is no man in this area who can have sex [EUP] with us, as people all over the earth do.
Nikhat chu Lot chanu teni alenjo nu chun anao nu kom a hitin aseiye “Hikom gamsunga pasal gollhang aum tapoi midangho banga ji enei lhon lou ding ahi tai. Chuleh eihing hon ipa jong hungvoija ateh lang ahi tan, cha aneilou ding ahi tai.
32 Let’s make our father drink wine until he gets drunk. Then we can have sex with him [EUP] [without him knowing it]. In that way [he will cause us to become pregnant] and we can bear children.”
Hung in ipa hi khamna thei donsah hitin, akham teng iki timatpi lhon ding ahiye, hiche akona chu eiho insung hi ipa akon a chilhah inei doh lhon ding ahibou e,” ati.
33 So that night they caused their father to become drunk. And the older daughter went in and lay in bed with her father, and he had sex with her, but he was so drunk that he did not know when she lay down with him or when she got up.
Hichun amanin hiche jan chun apa lengpi twi akham sah lhonin, chuin alenjo nu chu asunglhan apa to aga kiti mat lhon tan ahin apa chun achanu aluppet jong atho doh pet jong ahepoi.
34 The next day, his older daughter said to (his younger daughter/her sister), “Listen to me. Last night I slept with our father. Let’s cause him to become drunk again tonight! This time you can go and sleep with him. If he has sex with you, you can become pregnant, and that way you can have a child, too.”
Ajing ni chun alenjo nun anaonu kom ah hitin aseiye, “Keima janlhah chun ipa to kaki timat ka lum lhon tai, tujan jong lengpi twija khamsah hitin, tujan teng nangma gache in lang ga ki timatpi in hiche akona eiho chilhah hi ipa a kona bou ikisem doh thei ding bou ahi,” ati.
35 So that night, they caused their father to become drunk with wine again, and then his younger daughter went and slept with him. But again, he was so drunk that he did not know when she lay down with him or when she got up.
Hiche jan chun amanin apa lhon lengpi twi adonkham sah lhon in chuin aneojo nu aga sunglha kit in apa to aga ki timat lhon kit tan, amasa abang chun achanu aneonu ahung lup pet akitho dohpet jong ahepoi.
36 So Lot caused his two daughters to become pregnant.
Hiche jeh chun Lot chanute ni'n apa akon in nao ahin vop gel lhon tan ahi.
37 The older one later gave birth to a son, whom she named Moab. He became the ancestor of the Moab people-group.
Achanu alenjo nu chun nao pasal khat ahing tan amin chu Moab asah tai, amapa chu nam khat ahung hitan tua Moab mite kiti hohi ahiuve.
38 The younger one also gave birth to a son, whom she named Ben-Ammi. He became the ancestor of the Ammon people-group.
Aneojo nun nao pasal khat ahing kit in, amanun achapa min chu Ben-ammi asah tai. Amahi nam khat mipa lamka ahung hin tua Ammon mite hohi ahiuve.
