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.
Los dos ángeles llegaron a Sodoma al anochecer. Lot estaba sentado en la puerta de Sodoma. Lot los vio y se levantó a recibirlos. Se inclinó con el rostro hacia la tierra,
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.”
y les dijo: “Vean ahora, señores míos, por favor, entren en la casa de su siervo, quédense toda la noche, lávense los pies, y podrán levantarse temprano y seguir su camino.” Dijeron: “No, pero nos quedaremos en la calle toda la noche”.
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.
Los exhortó mucho, y entraron con él en su casa. Les hizo un banquete, y horneó panes sin levadura, y comieron.
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.
Pero antes de que se acostaran, los hombres de la ciudad, los hombres de Sodoma, rodearon la casa, tanto los jóvenes como los ancianos, toda la gente de todas partes.
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]
Llamaron a Lot y le dijeron: “¿Dónde están los hombres que entraron en tu casa esta noche? Tráenoslos, para que nos acostemos con ellos”.
6 Lot went outside the house and shut the door behind him, so that they could not go inside.
Lot salió hacia ellos por la puerta, y cerró la puerta tras de sí.
7 He said to them, “My friends, don’t do such an evil thing!
Dijo: “Por favor, hermanos míos, no actuéis con tanta maldad.
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]!”
Mirad, tengo dos hijas vírgenes. Por favor, dejad que os las traiga, y podéis hacer con ellas lo que os parezca bien. Sólo que no les hagáis nada a estos hombres, porque han venido bajo la sombra de mi techo”.
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.
Dijeron: “¡Atrás!” Entonces dijeron: “Este tipo entró a vivir como extranjero, y se nombra a sí mismo juez. Ahora te trataremos peor que a ellos”. Presionaron con fuerza al hombre Lot, y se acercaron para romper la puerta.
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.
Pero los hombres extendieron la mano y metieron a Lot en la casa, y cerraron la puerta.
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.
A los hombres que estaban a la puerta de la casa los hirieron con ceguera, tanto a los pequeños como a los grandes, de modo que se cansaron de encontrar la puerta.
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,
Los hombres dijeron a Lot: “¿Tienes a alguien más aquí? Yernos, hijos, hijas y todos los que tengas en la ciudad, sácalos del lugar:
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.”
porque vamos a destruir este lugar, porque el clamor contra ellos ha crecido tanto ante Yahvé que Yahvé nos ha enviado a destruirlo.”
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.
Lot salió y habló a sus yernos, que estaban comprometidos a casarse con sus hijas, y les dijo: “¡Levántense! Salid de este lugar, porque Yahvé va a destruir la ciudad”. Pero a sus yernos les pareció que estaba bromeando.
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!”
Cuando llegó la mañana, los ángeles apresuraron a Lot, diciendo: “¡Levántate! Toma a tu mujer y a tus dos hijas que están aquí, para que no te consumas en la iniquidad de la ciudad”.
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.
Pero él se demoró, y los hombres lo tomaron de la mano, de la mano de su esposa y de la mano de sus dos hijas, siendo Yahvé misericordioso con él, y lo sacaron y lo pusieron fuera de la ciudad.
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!”
Cuando los sacaron, les dijo: “¡Escapen por su vida! No mires detrás de ti, y no te quedes en ningún lugar de la llanura. Escapad a las montañas, no sea que os consuman”.
18 But Lot said to one of the angels, “No, sir, don’t make me do that!
Lot les dijo: “Oh, no es así, mi señor.
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].
Mira ahora, tu siervo ha hallado gracia ante tus ojos, y has engrandecido tu amorosa bondad, que has mostrado conmigo al salvar mi vida. No puedo escapar al monte, no sea que el mal me alcance y muera.
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.”
Mira ahora, esta ciudad está cerca para huir, y es pequeña. Oh, déjame escapar allí (¿no es una pequeña?), y mi alma vivirá”.
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.
Le dijo: “He aquí que he concedido tu petición en cuanto a esto también, que no derribaré la ciudad de la que has hablado.
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.
Date prisa, escapa allí, porque no puedo hacer nada hasta que llegues”. Por eso el nombre de la ciudad se llamó Zoar.
23 As the sun was rising, Lot and his family arrived in the town which is now called Zoar.
El sol había salido sobre la tierra cuando Lot llegó a Zoar.
24 Then Yahweh caused fire and [burning] sulfur to fall down on Sodom and Gomorrah like rain.
Entonces Yahvé hizo llover sobre Sodoma y sobre Gomorra azufre y fuego de Yahvé desde el cielo.
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.
Derribó aquellas ciudades, toda la llanura, todos los habitantes de las ciudades y lo que crecía en el suelo.
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.
Pero la esposa de Lot miró hacia atrás desde su espalda, y se convirtió en una columna de sal.
27 That morning, Abraham got up and went to the place where he had stood in front of Yahweh.
Abraham subió de madrugada al lugar donde había estado frente a Yahvé.
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.
Miró hacia Sodoma y Gomorra, y hacia toda la tierra de la llanura, y vio que el humo de la tierra subía como el humo de un horno.
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.
Cuando Dios destruyó las ciudades de la llanura, se acordó de Abraham y envió a Lot en medio de la destrucción, cuando derribó las ciudades en las que vivía Lot.
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 subió de Zoar y vivió en el monte, con sus dos hijas, porque tenía miedo de vivir en Zoar. Vivió en una cueva con sus dos hijas.
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.
La primogénita dijo a la menor: “Nuestro padre es viejo, y no hay hombre en la tierra que pueda entrar con nosotras en el camino de toda la tierra.
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.”
Vengan, hagamos que nuestro padre beba vino y nos acostaremos con él, para conservar el linaje de nuestro padre”.
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.
Hicieron beber vino a su padre aquella noche, y la primogénita entró y se acostó con su padre. Él no supo cuándo se acostó, ni cuándo se levantó.
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.”
Al día siguiente, la primogénita dijo a la menor: “Mira, anoche me acosté con mi padre. Hagamos que esta noche vuelva a beber vino. Entra tú y acuéstate con él, para que conservemos el linaje de nuestro padre”.
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.
También esa noche hicieron beber vino a su padre. La más joven fue y se acostó con él. Él no supo cuándo se acostó, ni cuándo se levantó.
36 So Lot caused his two daughters to become pregnant.
Así, las dos hijas de Lot quedaron embarazadas de su padre.
37 The older one later gave birth to a son, whom she named Moab. He became the ancestor of the Moab people-group.
La primogénita dio a luz un hijo y lo llamó Moab. Él es el padre de los moabitas hasta el día de hoy.
38 The younger one also gave birth to a son, whom she named Ben-Ammi. He became the ancestor of the Ammon people-group.
La menor también dio a luz un hijo y lo llamó Ben Ammi. Él es el padre de los hijos de Amón hasta el día de hoy.
