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.
Ketika hari petang, kedua orang tadi— yang ternyata adalah malaikat— tiba di kota Sodom. Saat itu, Lot sedang duduk di pintu gerbang kota. Melihat mereka, dia bangkit menyambut dan bersujud untuk menghormati mereka.
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.”
Kata Lot kepada dua orang itu, “Tuan-tuan, silakan menginap di rumah saya malam ini. Kalian bisa mencuci kaki, dan besok kalian dapat melanjutkan perjalanan.” Jawab mereka, “Tidak. Kami akan bermalam di luar saja, di alun-alun kota.”
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.
Tetapi Lot terus mendesak mereka supaya mau menginap di rumahnya. Akhirnya mereka pun masuk ke rumah Lot, dan Lot menyiapkan makanan untuk mereka. Dia memanggang roti tanpa ragi, lalu mereka memakannya.
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.
Sebelum mereka pergi tidur, semua laki-laki dari seluruh penjuru kota Sodom, tua maupun muda, datang mengepung rumah Lot.
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]
Mereka berteriak-teriak kepada Lot, “Di mana kedua orang yang menginap di rumahmu malam ini? Bawa mereka keluar, supaya kami bisa bersetubuh dengan mereka!”
6 Lot went outside the house and shut the door behind him, so that they could not go inside.
Kemudian Lot keluar dari dalam rumah dan menutup pintu di belakangnya supaya mereka tidak bisa masuk.
7 He said to them, “My friends, don’t do such an evil thing!
Katanya kepada mereka, “Saudara-saudaraku, janganlah berbuat jahat seperti itu!
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]!”
Mohon dengarkan saya! Saya punya dua anak perempuan yang masih perawan. Biarlah saya membawa mereka keluar untuk kalian sekarang, dan kalian boleh melakukan apa saja yang kalian mau kepada mereka. Tetapi jangan lakukan apa pun terhadap kedua laki-laki itu. Mereka adalah tamu di rumah saya, maka saya harus melindungi mereka!”
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.
Tetapi orang-orang itu menjawab, “Berani-beraninya kamu mengatur kami! Kamu hanya pendatang di sini. Menyingkirlah dari situ! Kalau tidak, kami akan melakukan yang lebih buruk kepadamu daripada yang akan kami lakukan terhadap kedua orang itu!” Kemudian mereka menyerbu ke arah Lot hendak mendobrak pintu.
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.
Tetapi kedua malaikat itu membuka pintu dengan cepat dan menarik Lot masuk ke rumah, lalu langsung menutup pintu itu kembali.
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.
Dua malaikat itu membuat semua orang yang berdiri di luar menjadi buta, baik yang tua maupun yang muda, sehingga mereka tidak dapat menemukan pintunya.
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,
Lalu malaikat-malaikat itu berkata kepada Lot, “Siapa lagi keluargamu yang tinggal di kota ini? Kalau kamu memiliki anak laki-laki, anak perempuan, menantu, ataupun sanak saudara lainnya, bawalah mereka keluar dari kota ini!
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.”
Kami diutus TUHAN untuk menghancurkan tempat ini, karena berdasarkan keluhan-keluhan yang didengar TUHAN, penduduk kota ini sudah jahat sekali.”
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.
Maka pergilah Lot menemui kedua calon menantunya dan berkata, “Cepat! Keluar dari kota ini, karena TUHAN akan segera menghancurkannya!” Namun, mereka menganggap Lot sedang bercanda.
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!”
Menjelang fajar, kedua malaikat itu mendesak Lot agar bergegas, “Cepatlah! Bawa istrimu dan kedua anak gadismu pergi dari sini! Kalau tidak, kalian akan ikut mati waktu kami menghancurkan kota ini!”
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.
Ketika Lot belum bergerak juga, kedua malaikat itu langsung memegang tangannya dan tangan istrinya serta kedua anak gadisnya, lalu menarik mereka keluar dari kota itu dengan aman. Para malaikat melakukan itu karena TUHAN berbelas kasih kepada Lot dan keluarganya.
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!”
Sesampainya mereka di luar kota, salah satu malaikat itu berkata, “Larilah untuk menyelamatkan nyawamu! Jangan menoleh ke belakang! Jangan berhenti di lembah! Larilah ke daerah perbukitan supaya kalian tidak mati!”
18 But Lot said to one of the angels, “No, sir, don’t make me do that!
Tetapi kata Lot kepada mereka, “Aduh, jangan begitu, Tuan-tuanku!
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].
Tuan sudah sangat berbaik hati dengan menyelamatkan nyawa saya. Tetapi daerah perbukitan itu terlalu jauh! Kalau saya berusaha lari ke sana, saya akan mati sebelum sampai.
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.”
Tetapi lihat, di sebelah situ ada kampung yang cukup dekat dari sini. Izinkanlah kami pergi ke kampung kecil itu supaya kami selamat.”
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.
Salah satu malaikat itu berkata, “Baiklah, saya mengabulkan permintaanmu. Saya tidak akan menghancurkan kampung kecil itu.
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.
Tetapi cepat! Larilah ke sana, karena saya tidak bisa mulai menjatuhkan hukuman sebelum kalian sampai di sana.” Sesudah peristiwa ini, kampung tersebut dinamai Zoar, karena Lot mengatakan bahwa kampung itu kecil.
23 As the sun was rising, Lot and his family arrived in the town which is now called Zoar.
Lot dan keluarganya tiba di kampung yang sekarang dinamai Zoar itu sesudah matahari terbit.
24 Then Yahweh caused fire and [burning] sulfur to fall down on Sodom and Gomorrah like rain.
Kemudian TUHAN menjatuhkan api dan belerang ke atas Sodom dan Gomora, seperti hujan dari langit.
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.
Demikianlah TUHAN menghancurkan kedua kota itu dan semua penduduk di dalamnya. Dia juga menghancurkan segala sesuatu yang ada di lembah itu, termasuk seluruh tumbuhan.
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.
Namun, istri Lot berhenti di tengah jalan dan menoleh ke belakang, maka dia mati dan menjadi tiang garam.
27 That morning, Abraham got up and went to the place where he had stood in front of Yahweh.
Pagi itu, Abraham bangun dan segera pergi ke tempat dia bercakap-cakap dengan TUHAN kemarin.
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.
Saat memandang ke arah Sodom dan Gomora, dia melihat seluruh lembah itu berasap tebal, seperti asap dari tungku yang sangat besar.
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.
Jadi, TUHAN mengingat permintaan Abraham ketika Dia memusnahkan kota-kota di lembah itu. Itulah sebabnya Lot diselamatkan dari bencana yang terjadi di sana.
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.
Lot takut untuk tinggal di Zoar, maka dia meninggalkan kampung itu dan pindah ke gunung bersama kedua anak gadisnya. Di sana, mereka tinggal di sebuah gua.
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.
Suatu hari, anak gadis Lot yang sulung berkata kepada adiknya, “Aduh, dengan siapa kita akan menikah di tempat yang sunyi ini! Tidak ada lagi laki-laki. Ayah kita sudah terlalu tua untuk mengurus pernikahan seperti yang dilakukan di daerah-daerah lain.
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.”
Mari kita membuat ayah kita mabuk dengan minum anggur sehingga dia tidak sadar, lalu kita bisa bersetubuh dengannya. Dengan cara inilah kita dapat menyambung keturunan keluarga kita.”
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.
Malam itu, mereka berhasil membuat Lot mabuk. Lalu anak gadis yang sulung masuk dan bersetubuh dengan ayahnya. Lot tidak tahu apa-apa karena dia sudah terlalu mabuk.
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.”
Keesokan harinya, anak gadis Lot yang sulung itu berkata lagi kepada adiknya, “Tadi malam aku sudah tidur dengan ayah kita! Nanti malam, kita buat dia mabuk lagi. Lalu kamu tidurlah dengannya, supaya kita masing-masing mendapat anak.”
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.
Maka malam itu mereka membuat Lot mabuk lagi, kemudian anak gadis yang bungsu juga bersetubuh dengan ayahnya. Kali ini pun Lot terlalu mabuk sehingga dia tidak tahu apa yang terjadi.
36 So Lot caused his two daughters to become pregnant.
Dengan demikian, kedua anak gadis Lot hamil dari ayah mereka.
37 The older one later gave birth to a son, whom she named Moab. He became the ancestor of the Moab people-group.
Kakaknya melahirkan anak laki-laki yang dia namai Moab. Anak ini menjadi nenek moyang dari bangsa Moab.
38 The younger one also gave birth to a son, whom she named Ben-Ammi. He became the ancestor of the Ammon people-group.
Adiknya melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki juga, yang dia namai Ben Ami. Dialah yang menjadi nenek moyang dari bangsa Amon.
