< 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.
Nandoake e Sedome amy harivay i anjely roe rey, naho niambesatse an-dalam-bei’ i Sedome ey t’i Lote. Niisa’ i Lote, le niongake hifanalaka am’iereo vaho naboko’e an-tane ty lahara’e.
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.”
Hoe re: Eo hey, ry roandriañeo, Ehe, mivevea mb’ an-traño’ o mpitoro’oo mb’eo hia­leñe ao naho hanasa fandia; le mañaleñaleña hanonjohy ty lia’ areo. Hoe iereo, Aiy, apoho hialeñe an-kiririsa atoy.
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.
Fe nimanea’e fiboliboly le nitolike iareo nimoak’ añ’anjomba’e ao; le naña­lankaña’e sabadidake naho nitono mofo po-dalivay vaho nikama iereo.
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.
Aa ie mbe tsy nàndre, inao o lahilahi’ i rovaio, ondati’ i Sedomeo, ty ajalahy naho ty bey, ze kila lahilahy pak’am-pifaritsoha’e ro niarikoboñe amy anjombay,
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]
nikaike ty hoe amy Lote, Aia i lahilahy niheo mb’ama’o hariva zao rey? Akaro ama’ay haharendreha’ay.
6 Lot went outside the house and shut the door behind him, so that they could not go inside.
Niakatse an-tsarirañe t’i Lote le narindri’e amboho’ey i lalañe
7 He said to them, “My friends, don’t do such an evil thing!
vaho nanao ty hoe, O ry rahalahikoo, ko anoe’ areo o halò-tsereke zao.
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]!”
Ingo hey, aman’ anak’ ampela roe mbe tsy mahavany lahy iraho; ehe angao hakareko mb’ama’areo atoy vaho ano am’iereo ze atao soa am-pihaino’ areo; fe ko anoa’ areo ndra inoñ’ inoñe amy lahilahy rey kanao mipalitse ambane tafo-trañoko ao.
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.
Fa hoe ka iereo, Misitaha! le tinovo’ iareo ty hoe, Niambahiny atoy itia te niavy, aa vaho mipay ho mpizaka! Aa le ihe ty ho silofe’ay hisolo iareo. Le zineha’ iereo mafe t’i Lote vaho didy tsy nampipoñake i lalambeiy.
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.
Aa le nahiti’ i lahilahy rey o fità’eo le tinari’iareo hizilike mb’am’iereo añ’anjomba ao t’i Lote, naho narindri’ iereo i lalañey,
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.
vaho zinevo’ iareo an-kagoàñe o lahilahy an-dala’ i anjombaio, ty kede naho ty bey, vaho nimokots’ avao iereo nipay i lalañey.
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,
Le hoe i lahilahy rey amy Lote, Ia ka ty ama’o atoañe? He vinanto’o ke ana-dahi’o, ke anak’ ampela’o, ndra iaia ama’o an-drova atoa—akaro boak’ an-toetse atoy
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 harotsa’ay ty rova toy, amy te nionjoñ’ añatrefa’ Iehovà ty fikointsa’ ondati’eo, vaho nirahe’ Iehovà zahay handro­tsak’ aze.
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.
Aa le niavotse t’i Lote nanao ty hoe amo vinanto nañenga o anak’ ampela’eoo, Miongaha le iakaro ty toetse toy, fa ho ro­tsa­he’ Iehovà ty rova toy. Fe natao’ o vinanto’eo t’ie nisole.
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!”
Ie nanjirike ty maraindray, nanaeñe i Lote i anjely rey ami’ty hoe: Mitroara, taono t’i vali’o naho o anak’ ampela’o roe toañe, tsy mone ho mongoreñe ami’ty halo-tsere’ ty rova toy.
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.
F’ie nihenekenek’ avao, le rinambe’ o lahilahio ty fita’e naho ty fita’ i vali’ey vaho ty taña’ i anak’ ampela’e roe rey, ie niferenaiña’ Iehovà, le nendese’ iereo vaho napok’ alafe’ i rovay.
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!”
Ie fa nasese alafe ao le hoe re, Mirombaha fiay, le ko mitoli-boho vaho ko tambatse am-bavatane atoa; mihere­reaha mb’am-bohi­tse mb’eo tsy mone ho faopaoheñe.
18 But Lot said to one of the angels, “No, sir, don’t make me do that!
Le hoe t’i Lote am’ iereo: Ehe! tsie, ry talèko;
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].
ingo te nisohe’o ty mpitoro’o, naho nonjone’o ty fitretreza’o ahy amy te rinomba’o ty haveloko; f’ie tsy hahafilay mb’ am-bohitse mb’eo, tsy mone hizo hankàñe vaho hikenkañe.
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.”
Hehe ty marine naho mete rifiteñe o rova ey hoek’ eo, fa kede ‘nio. Angao hihitrifako, tsy raha kede hao, soa te ho veloñe ty fiaiko?
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.
Aa le hoe re tama’e, Ingo, fa nandraeko ty lahara’o amo raha zao, fa tsy ho rotsaheñe i rovay ty amy saontsi’oy.
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.
Masikà, itribaho an-day, fa tsy hahapi-draha Iraho ampara’ t’ie mandoak’ ey. Aa le natao ty hoe Tsoare i rovay.
23 As the sun was rising, Lot and his family arrived in the town which is now called Zoar.
Fa nanjirik’ an-tane atoy i àndroy te niavy e Tsoare ao t’i Lote.
24 Then Yahweh caused fire and [burning] sulfur to fall down on Sodom and Gomorrah like rain.
Heneke izay, le nañiliña’ ­Iehovà solifara naho afo boak’ am’ Iehovà andike­rañe ao ty Sedome naho i Amorà,
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.
vaho narotsa’e i rova rey, naho i vava-tane iabiy naho ze mpimoneñe amy rova rey vaho ze nitiry amy taney.
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.
Fe nitoli-boho ty vali’e, vaho ninjare vongan-tsira.
27 That morning, Abraham got up and went to the place where he had stood in front of Yahweh.
Nañaleñale mb’amy toetse nijo­haña’e añatrefa’ Iehovày mb’eo t’i Avrahame
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.
vaho nitalake mañambane eñe mb’amy Sedome naho i Amorà naho i vavatane iabiy le nahaoniñe ty hatoe’ i taney nionjoñe manahake ty fifororoaha’ ty hatoem-pitranahañe.
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.
Aa ie narotsan’ Añahare o rova amy vavataneio, le nitiahin’ Añahare t’i Avrahame vaho nirahe’e hiakatse boak’ añivo’ i fandro­tsahañey t’i Lote, ie finongo’e o rova nimoneña’ i Loteo.
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.
Ie amy zao, niavotse boak’e Tsoare t’i Lote vaho nitobe ambo­hitse ey, ie naho i anak’ ampela’e roe ama’e rey, amy te nanembañe aze ty himoneñe e Tsoare; aa le nimo­neñe am-po lakato ao, ie naho i anak’ ampela’e roe rey.
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.
Le hoe ty tañoloñoloña’e aman-jai’e, Fa bey ‘nio ty raentika, vaho tsy eo t’indaty an-tane atoy ty himoak’ aman-tika an-tsata’ ty tane bey toy.
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.”
Aa le antao hampikamaen-tika divay ty raentika vaho hiolots’ ama’e, hañajàn-tika tariratse ty raentika.
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.
Nampi­kamae’ iereo divay ty rae’e amy haleñey; le nimoak’ aman-drae’e ao ty taño­lo­ñoloña’e nifandia-tihy ama’e, f’ie tsy nahafohiñe ty nandrea’e ndra ty nitroara’e.
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.”
Ie niloak’andro, le hoe i tañoloñoloña’ey aman-jai’e, Niolotse aman-draeko iraho; antao hampikamaentika divay indrai­ke te hariva; le ihe ka ro hizilik’ ao hifandia’o tihy, hañajañe tariratse ho aman-draen-tika.
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.
Aa le nampikamae’ iereo divay indra­ike ty rae’ iareo amy haleñey; le niongake ty zai’e naho niolora’e; fe na­moea’e ty fandrea’e naho ty fitroara’e.
36 So Lot caused his two daughters to become pregnant.
Aa le sindre nampiareñe’ i Lote rae’e i anak’ampela’e roe rey.
37 The older one later gave birth to a son, whom she named Moab. He became the ancestor of the Moab people-group.
Nisamake ana-dahy i tañoloñoloña’ey le natao Mòabe ty añara’e; Ie ty rae’ o nte-Mòabeo pak’ henaneo.
38 The younger one also gave birth to a son, whom she named Ben-Ammi. He became the ancestor of the Ammon people-group.
Nahatoly ana-dahy ka ty zai’e vaho natao’e Benamý ty añara’e; ie ty rae’ o anak’Amoneo pak’androany.
