Genesis 19
1 The two angels came to Sodom in the evening, while Lot was sitting at the gate of Sodom. Lot saw them, arose to meet them, and bowed down with his face to the ground.
那两个天使晚上到了所多玛；罗得正坐在所多玛城门口，看见他们，就起来迎接，脸伏于地下拜，
2 He said, “Please my masters, I urge you to turn aside into your servant's house, stay for the night, and wash your feet. Then you can rise up early and go on your way.” They replied, “No, we will spend the night in the town square.”
说：“我主啊，请你们到仆人家里洗洗脚，住一夜，清早起来再走。”他们说：“不！我们要在街上过夜。”
3 But he urged them strongly, so they went with him, and entered into his house. He prepared a meal and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
罗得切切地请他们，他们这才进去，到他屋里。罗得为他们预备筵席，烤无酵饼，他们就吃了。
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the men from every part of the city.
他们还没有躺下，所多玛城里各处的人，连老带少，都来围住那房子，
5 They called to Lot, and said to him, “Where are the men that came in to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may sleep with them.”
呼叫罗得说：“今日晚上到你这里来的人在哪里呢？把他们带出来，任我们所为。”
6 So Lot went out the door to them and shut the door after himself.
罗得出来，把门关上，到众人那里，
7 He said, “I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.
说：“众弟兄，请你们不要做这恶事。
8 Look, I have two daughters who have not slept with any man. Let me, I beg you, bring them out to you, and you do to them whatever is good in your eyes. Only do nothing to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof.”
我有两个女儿，还是处女，容我领出来，任凭你们的心愿而行；只是这两个人既然到我舍下，不要向他们做什么。”
9 They said, “Stand back!” They also said, “This one came here to live as a foreigner, and now he has become our judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them.” They pressed hard against the man, against Lot, and came near to break down the door.
众人说：“退去吧！”又说：“这个人来寄居，还想要作官哪！现在我们要害你比害他们更甚。”众人就向前拥挤罗得，要攻破房门。
10 But the men reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them and shut the door.
只是那二人伸出手来，将罗得拉进屋去，把门关上，
11 Then Lot's visitors struck with blindness the men who were outside the door of the house, both young and old, so that they became exhausted when they were trying to find the door.
并且使门外的人，无论老少，眼都昏迷；他们摸来摸去，总寻不着房门。
12 Then the men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here? Any sons-in-law, your sons and your daughters, and whoever you have in the city, get them out of here.
二人对罗得说：“你这里还有什么人吗？无论是女婿是儿女，和这城中一切属你的人，你都要将他们从这地方带出去。
13 For we are about to destroy this place, because the accusations against it before Yahweh have become so loud that he has sent us to destroy it.”
我们要毁灭这地方；因为城内罪恶的声音在耶和华面前甚大，耶和华差我们来，要毁灭这地方。”
14 Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, the men who had promised to marry his daughters, and said, “Quick, get out of this place, for Yahweh is about to destroy the city.” But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking.
罗得就出去，告诉娶了他女儿的女婿们说：“你们起来离开这地方，因为耶和华要毁灭这城。”他女婿们却以为他说的是戏言。
15 When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Get going, take your wife and your two daughters that are here, so you are not swept away in the punishment of the city.”
天明了，天使催逼罗得说：“起来！带着你的妻子和你在这里的两个女儿出去，免得你因这城里的罪恶同被剿灭。”
16 But he lingered. So the men grabbed his hand, and the hand of his wife, and the hands of his two daughters, because Yahweh was merciful to him. They brought them out, and set them outside the city.
但罗得迟延不走。二人因为耶和华怜恤罗得，就拉着他的手和他妻子的手，并他两个女儿的手，把他们领出来，安置在城外；
17 When they had brought them out, one of the men said, “Run for your lives! Do not look back, or stay anywhere on the plain. Escape to the mountains so you are not swept away.”
领他们出来以后，就说：“逃命吧！不可回头看，也不可在平原站住。要往山上逃跑，免得你被剿灭。”
18 Lot said to them, “No, please, my masters!
罗得对他们说：“我主啊，不要如此！
19 Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life, but I cannot escape to the mountains, because the disaster will overtake me, and I will die.
你仆人已经在你眼前蒙恩；你又向我显出莫大的慈爱，救我的性命。我不能逃到山上去，恐怕这灾祸临到我，我便死了。
20 Look, that city over there is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Please, let me escape there (is it not a little one?), and my life will be saved.”
看哪，这座城又小又近，容易逃到，这不是一个小的吗？求你容我逃到那里，我的性命就得存活。”
21 He said to him, “Alright, I am granting this request also, that I will not destroy the city which you have mentioned.
天使对他说：“这事我也应允你；我不倾覆你所说的这城。
22 Hurry! Escape there, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there.” Therefore the city was called Zoar.
你要速速地逃到那城；因为你还没有到那里，我不能做什么。”因此那城名叫琐珥。
23 The sun had risen upon the earth when Lot reached Zoar.
罗得到了琐珥，日头已经出来了。
24 Then Yahweh rained down upon Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from Yahweh out of the sky.
当时，耶和华将硫磺与火从天上耶和华那里降与所多玛和蛾摩拉，
25 He destroyed those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and the plants that grew on the ground.
把那些城和全平原，并城里所有的居民，连地上生长的，都毁灭了。
26 But Lot's wife, who was behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
罗得的妻子在后边回头一看，就变成了一根盐柱。
27 Abraham got up early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before Yahweh.
亚伯拉罕清早起来，到了他从前站在耶和华面前的地方，
28 He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the plain. He looked and behold, smoke was rising from the land like the smoke of a furnace.
向所多玛和蛾摩拉与平原的全地观看，不料，那地方烟气上腾，如同烧窑一般。
29 So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, God called Abraham to mind. He sent Lot out of the midst of the destruction when he destroyed the cities in which Lot had lived.
当 神毁灭平原诸城的时候，他记念亚伯拉罕，正在倾覆罗得所住之城的时候，就打发罗得从倾覆之中出来。
30 But Lot went up from Zoar to live in the mountains with his two daughters, because he was afraid to live in Zoar. So he lived in a cave, he and his two daughters.
罗得因为怕住在琐珥，就同他两个女儿从琐珥上去，住在山里；他和两个女儿住在一个洞里。
31 The firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man anywhere to sleep with us according to the way of all the world.
大女儿对小女儿说：“我们的父亲老了，地上又无人按着世上的常规进到我们这里。
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will sleep with him, so that we may extend our father's line.”
来！我们可以叫父亲喝酒，与他同寝。这样，我们好从他存留后裔。”
33 So they made their father drink wine that night. Then the firstborn went in and slept with her father; he did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
于是，那夜她们叫父亲喝酒，大女儿就进去和她父亲同寝；她几时躺下，几时起来，父亲都不知道。
34 The next day the firstborn said to the younger, “Listen, last night I slept with my father. Let us make him drink wine tonight also, and you should go in and sleep with him, so that we may extend our father's line.”
第二天，大女儿对小女儿说：“我昨夜与父亲同寝。今夜我们再叫他喝酒，你可以进去与他同寝。这样，我们好从父亲存留后裔。”
35 So they made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger went and slept with him. He did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
于是，那夜她们又叫父亲喝酒，小女儿起来与她父亲同寝；她几时躺下，几时起来，父亲都不知道。
36 So both the daughters of Lot were pregnant by their father.
这样，罗得的两个女儿都从她父亲怀了孕。
37 The firstborn gave birth to a son, and named him Moab. He became the ancestor of the Moabites of today.
大女儿生了儿子，给他起名叫摩押，就是现今摩押人的始祖。
38 As for the younger daughter, she also gave birth to a son, and named him Ben-Ammi. He became the ancestor of the people of Ammon of today.
小女儿也生了儿子，给他起名叫便·亚米，就是现今亚扪人的始祖。
