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.
Dia nankany Sodoma ilay anjely roa nony hariva, raha Lota nipetraka teo am-bavahadin’ i Sodoma; ary raha nahita azy Lota, dia nitsangana mba hitsena azy izy ka niankohoka tamin’ ny tany.
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.”
Dia hoy izy: Mba mivilia ianareo, tompoko, ho ato an-tranon’ ny mpanomponareo, ka mandria anio alina, ary sasao ny tongotrareo, ary hifoha maraina koa ianareo, dia handeha amin’ izay lalan-kalehanareo. Fa hoy izy roa lahy: Tsia; fa hitoetra eto an-kianja ihany izahay anio alina.
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.
Ary rehefa noteren’ i Lota fatratra izy roa lahy, dia nivily tany aminy izy ka niditra tao an-tranony; dia nanaovany nahandro izy sy nanendasany mofo tsy misy masirasira, dia nihinana izy.
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.
Ary raha tsy mbola nandry izy, dia avy manodidina ny trano ny mponina tao an-tanàna Sodoma, hatramin’ ny tanora ka hatramin’ ny antitra, dia ny vahoaka rehetra tao an-tanàna;
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]
dia niantso an’ i Lota izy ireo ka nanao taminy hoe: Aiza ireo lehilahy vao tonga tato aminao izao alina izao? avoahy ho atỳ aminay izy hahalalanay azy.
6 Lot went outside the house and shut the door behind him, so that they could not go inside.
Dia nivoaka teo am-baravarana Lota hankeo aminy, ka nakatony ny varavarana teo ivohony;
7 He said to them, “My friends, don’t do such an evil thing!
ary hoy izy: Masìna ianareo, ry rahalahiko, aza manao ratsy.
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]!”
Indro, manan-janaka roa vavy aho, izay tsy mbola nahalala lahy; masìna ianareo, aoka re ireo no havoakako ho eto aminareo, ka hataonareo aminy izay sitraponareo; fa ireo lehilahy ireo kosa dia aza anaovanareo na inona na inona; fa tonga hialoka eto ambanin’ ny tafon-tranoko izy.
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.
Ary hoy izy ireo: Mialà eto ianao. Dia hoy izy ireo indray: Ilehity tonga etỳ hivahiny, kanefa matetika mila hiseho ho mpitsara; ankehitriny dia hanao ratsiratsy kokoa aminao noho ny amin’ ireo lehilahy ireo izahay. Dia nanosika mafy an-dralehilahy izy ireo, dia an’ i Lota, ka nisesika hamaky ny varavarana.
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.
Fa naninjitra ny tànany izy roa lahy, dia nanintona an’ i Lota hankao an-trano ho ao aminy, ka nakatony ny varavarana.
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.
Dia nampanjambena ny mason’ ny lehilahy izay teo am-baravaran’ ny trano izy hatramin’ ny kely ka hatramin’ ny lehibe; ka dia sasa-poana nitady ny varavarana ireo.
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,
Ary hoy izy roa lahy tamin’ i Lota: Mbola manana ato koa va ianao? dia izay vinantonao-lahy sy ny zanakao-lahy sy ny zanakao-vavy, ary na zovy na zovy anananao ato an-tanàna, ento miala amin’ ity tanàna ity;
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.”
fa horavanay ity tanàna ity, satria efa lehibe ny fitarainany eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; ka dia naniraka anay Jehovah handrava azy.
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.
Dia nivoaka Lota ary niteny tamin’ ny vinantony, izay efa hanambady ny zananivavy, ka nanao hoe: Miaingà, miala amin’ ity tanàna ity; fa horavan’ i Jehovah ity tanàna ity. Fa nataon’ ny vinantony ho tahaka ny mpanao vazivazy izy.
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!”
Ary nony maraina koa ny andro, dia nandodona an’ i Lota ireo anjely ka nanao hoe: Miaingà, ento ny vadinao sy ny zanakao roa vavy izay eto, fandrao mba haringana ianao noho ny heloky ny tanàna.
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.
Ary nony nitaredretra izy, dia notantanan’ izy roa lahy izy sy ny vadiny ary ny zanany roa vavy noho ny famindram-pon’ i Jehovah taminy; dia nitondra azy nivoaka izy roa lahy ka nandao azy tany ivelan’ ny tanàna.
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!”
Ary rehefa nitondra azy nivoaka tany ivelany izy, dia hoy ny anankiray: Mandosira hamonjy ny ainao; aza miherika ianao, na mijanona eny amin’ ny tany lemaka rehetra; mandosira any an-tendrombohitra, fandrao haringana ianao.
18 But Lot said to one of the angels, “No, sir, don’t make me do that!
Ary hoy Lota taminy: Aza an’ izany, Tompo ô!
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].
indro, fa efa nahita fitia teo imasonao ny mpanomponao, ary efa nahalehibe ny famindram-ponao ianao, izay nataonao tamiko hamonjenao ny aiko; ary tsy afa-mandositra any an-tendrombohitra aho, fandrao hahatratra ahy ny loza, ka ho faty aho;
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.”
indro, io vohitra io dia akaiky handosirana sady kely; masìna ianao, aoka handositra ao aho (tsy kely va izy io?), dia ho velona ny aiko.
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.
Ary hoy izy taminy: Indro, efa nekeko koa ianao tamin’ izany zavatra izany, ka tsy horavako io vohitra nolazainao io.
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.
Mandehana faingana, mandosira ho ao; fa tsy mahazo manao na inona na inona aho mandra-pahatonganao ao. Izany no nanaovana ny anaran’ ny tanàna hoe Zoara.
23 As the sun was rising, Lot and his family arrived in the town which is now called Zoar.
Ary ny masoandro efa niposaka tamin’ ny tany, raha tonga tao Zoara Lota.
24 Then Yahweh caused fire and [burning] sulfur to fall down on Sodom and Gomorrah like rain.
Ary Jehovah nandatsaka tamin’ i Sodoma sy Gomora solifara sy afo, avy tamin’ i Jehovah tany an-danitra,
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.
ka nandrava ireny tanàna ireny sy ny tany lemaka rehetra sy ny mponina rehetra tao an-tanàna ary ny zava-maniry teo amin’ ny tany.
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.
Fa ny vadin’ i Lota niherika teo ivohony, dia tonga vongan-tsira mitsangana izy.
27 That morning, Abraham got up and went to the place where he had stood in front of Yahweh.
Dia nifoha maraina koa Abrahama ka nankany amin’ ilay efa nijanonany teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah;
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.
ary nitsinjo an’ i Sodoma sy Gomora sy ny tany lemaka rehetra izy, dia nahita, ka, indro, niakatra ny setroky ny tany tahaka ny setroky ny lafaoro lehibe.
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.
Ary raha noravan’ Andriamanitra ny tanàna tany amin’ ny tany lemaka, dia nahatsiaro an’ i Abrahama Andriamanitra ka namoaka an’ i Lota hiala teo afovoan’ ny horavana, tamin’ ny nandravany ny tanàna izay nonenan’ i Lota.
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.
Dia niakatra Lota avy tao Zoara ka nitoetra tany an-tendrombohitra, dia izy sy ny zanany roa vavy; fa natahotra hitoetra tao Zoara izy; dia nitoetra tao an-johy izy sy ny zanany roa vavy.
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.
Ary hoy ny vavimatoa tamin’ ny zandriny: Efa antitra izao raintsika, ary tsy misy lehilahy ambonin’ ny tany hanambady antsika araka ny fanaon’ ny tany rehetra;
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.”
andeha hampisotrointsika divay ny raintsika dia handry aminy isika hananantsika fara avy amin’ ny raintsika.
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.
Dia nampisotroiny divay ny rainy tamin’ iny alina iny dia niditra ny vavimatoa ka nandry tamin-drainy; ary izy tsy nahafantatra izay nandriany na izay nifohazany.
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.”
Ary nony ampitson’ iny dia hoy ny vavimatoa tamin’ ny zandriny: Indro, efa nandry tamin’ ny raintsika aho halina; aoka hampisotrointsika divay indray izy anio alina, dia midìra ianao ka mandria aminy hananantsika fara avy amin’ ny raintsika.
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.
Dia nampisotroiny divay indray ny rainy tamin’ iny alina iny; dia nitsangana ilay zandriny ka nandry taminy; ary izy tsy nahafantatra izay nandriany, na izay nifohazany.
36 So Lot caused his two daughters to become pregnant.
Dia samy nanan’ anaka tamin-drainao ny zanak’ i Lota roa vavy.
37 The older one later gave birth to a son, whom she named Moab. He became the ancestor of the Moab people-group.
Dia niteraka zazalahy ny vavimatoa, ka ny anarany nataony hoe Moaba; izy no rain’ ny Moabita mandraka androany.
38 The younger one also gave birth to a son, whom she named Ben-Ammi. He became the ancestor of the Ammon people-group.
Ary ny zandriny koa dia niteraka zazalahy ary ny anarany nataony hoe Benamy; izy kosa no rain’ ny taranak’ i Amona mandraka androany.
