Genesis 19
1 The two angels came to Sodom at evening. Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them. He bowed himself with his face to the earth,
Og de to Engle kom til Sodoma om Aftenen; men Lot sad i Sodomas Port, og der Lot saa dem, da stod han op og gik dem i Møde og bøjede Ansigtet til Jorden.
2 and he said, “See now, my lords, please come into your servant’s house, stay all night, wash your feet, and you can rise up early, and go on your way.” They said, “No, but we will stay in the street all night.”
Og lian sagde: Se nu mine Herrer, kommer dog ind i eders Tjeners Hus, og bliver her i Nat, og toer eders Fødder, saa maa I staa aarle op og gaa eders Vej; og de sagde: Nej, men vi ville blive paa Gaden i Nat.
3 He urged them greatly, and they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
Da nødte han dem meget, og de gik ind til ham og kom i hans Hus, og han gjorde dem et Gæstebud og bagede usyrede Brød, og de aade.
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.
Men førend de lagde sig, da omringede Mændene af Staden, Mændene af Sodoma, Huset, baade ung og gammel, det ganske Folk allesteds fra.
5 They called to Lot, and said to him, “Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them.”
Og de kaldte ad Lot og sagde til ham: Hvor ere de Mænd, som kom til dig i Nat? før dem ud til os, at vi maa kende dem.
6 Lot went out to them through the door, and shut the door after himself.
Da gik Lot ud til dem uden for Døren og lukkede Døren efter sig.
7 He said, “Please, my brothers, don’t act so wickedly.
Og han sagde: Mine Brødre, kære, gører dem intet ondt!
8 See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them what seems good to you. Only don’t do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof.”
Se, kære, jeg har to Døtre, som ikke have kendt Mand, kære, jeg vil lede dem ud til eder, gører saa med dem, hvad eder godt synes; kun disse Mænd maa I ikke gøre noget; thi derfor ere de komne under mit Tags Skygge.
9 They said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now we will deal worse with you than with them!” They pressed hard on the man Lot, and came near to break the door.
Og de sagde: Kom nærmere; og de sagde: Denne ene er kommen at bosætte sig her og vil dømme; nu, vi ville gøre dig mere ondt end dem; saa trængte de saare hart ind paa Manden, paa Lot, og traadte til for at bryde Døren op.
10 But the men reached out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
Da udrakte Mændene deres Hænder og toge Lot ind til sig i Huset og lukkede Døren.
11 They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
Og Mændene, som vare uden for Husets Dør, sloge de med Blindhed, baade liden og stor, og disse søgte med Møje at finde Døren.
12 The men said to Lot, “Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place:
Da sagde de Mænd til Lot: Har du endnu her nogen Svigersøn eller Sønner eller Døtre af dig eller nogen, som hører dig til i Staden, saa før dem ud fra dette Sted!
13 for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown so great before the LORD that the LORD has sent us to destroy it.”
Thi vi skulle ødelægge dette Sted; thi deres Skrig er blevet stort for Herrens Aasyn, og Herren sendte os til at ødelægge den.
14 Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, “Get up! Get out of this place, for the LORD will destroy the city!” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.
Og Lot gik ud og talede med sine Svigersønner, som skulde tage hans Døtre, og sagde: Staar op, gaar ud fra dette Sted, thi Herren vil ødelægge Staden; men han syntes for hans Svigersønners Øjne, som han gækkede.
15 When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, “Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city.”
Og der det begyndte at dages, da skyndte Englene paa Lot og sagde: Staa op, tag din Hustru og dine to Døtre, som ere til Stede, at ikke ogsaa du omkommer ved Stadens Misgerning.
16 But he lingered; and the men grabbed his hand, his wife’s hand, and his two daughters’ hands, the LORD being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.
Der han tøvede, da toge Mændene ham ved Haanden og hans Hustru ved Haanden og hans to Døtre ved Haanden, fordi Herren vilde spare ham, og de førte ham ud og lode ham blive uden for Staden.
17 It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, “Escape for your life! Don’t look behind you, and don’t stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be consumed!”
Og det skete, der de havde ført dem udenfor, da sagde den ene: Frels dit Liv, se ikke bag dig, og stands ikke paa hele Sletten, frels dig paa Bjerget, at du ikke omkommer.
18 Lot said to them, “Oh, not so, my lord.
Da sagde Lot til dem: Ak nej, Herre!
19 See now, your servant has found favour in your sight, and you have magnified your loving kindness, which you have shown to me in saving my life. I can’t escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die.
Se nu, din Tjener har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, og du har ladet din Miskundhed blive stor, som du har bevist mig, ved at lade mig leve; og jeg kan ikke frelse mig paa Bjerget, Ulykken maatte komme paa mig, saa at jeg døde.
20 See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (isn’t it a little one?), and my soul will live.”
Se, kære, denne Stad er nær ved, den kunde jeg fly til, og den samme er liden; kære, der vil jeg frelse mig, er den ikke liden? at min Sjæl maa leve.
21 He said to him, “Behold, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.
Da sagde han til ham: Se, jeg har og bønhørt dig i dette Stykke, at jeg ikke vil omstyrte den Stad, som du har talt om,
22 Hurry, escape there, for I can’t do anything until you get there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
Skynd dig, red dig der! thi jeg kan intet gøre, før du kommer derhen; derfor kaldes den Stads Navn Zoar.
23 The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
Solen var opgangen over Jorden, og Lot kom til Zoar.
24 Then the LORD rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulphur and fire from the LORD out of the sky.
Herren lod regne over Sodoma og over Gomorra Svovl og Ild, fra Herren af Himmelen.
25 He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.
Og han omstyrtede disse Stæder og den ganske Egn og alle Indbyggerne i Stæderne og Jordens Grøde.
26 But Lot’s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Da saa hans Hustru om bag ham og blev en Saltstøtte.
27 Abraham went up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD.
Og Abraham skyndte sig aarle op om Morgenen til Stedet, hvor han havde staaet for Herrens Ansigt.
28 He looked towards Sodom and Gomorrah, and towards all the land of the plain, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.
Og han vendte sit Ansigt til Sodoma og Gomorra og til hele Landet paa Sletten, og han saa, og se, en Røg steg op af Landet som en Røg af en Ovn.
29 When God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.
Og det skete, der Gud ødelagde Stæderne paa Sletten, da kom Gud Abraham i Hu, og han lod Lot føre ud midt af Ødelæggelsen, der han omstyrtede de Stæder, som Lot boede udi.
30 Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters.
Og Lot gik op fra Zoar og blev paa Bjerget, og begge hans Døtre med ham; thi han frygtede for at blive i Zoar, og han blev i en Hule, han og begge hans Døtre.
31 The firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us in the way of all the earth.
Da sagde den førstefødte til den yngste: vor Fader er gammel, og der er ikke en Mand i dette Land, som kan komme til os efter al Jordens Vis.
32 Come, let’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”
Kom, lader os give vor Fader Vin at drikke og ligge hos ham, saa faa vi Sæd af vor Fader.
33 They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Saa gave de deres Fader Vin at drikke den samme Nat, og den førstefødte gik ind og lagde sig hos sin Fader, og han fornam ikke, der hun lagde sig, eller der hun stod op.
34 It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let’s make him drink wine again tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”
Og det skete den anden Dag, da sagde den førstefødte til den yngste: se, i Gaar Nat laa jeg hos min Fader, lader os ogsaa i denne Nat give ham Vin at drikke, og gak ind, lig hos ham, at vi kunne faa Sæd af vor Fader.
35 They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she got up.
Saa gave de deres Fader ogsaa i den samme Nat Vin at drikke, saa gjorde den yngste sig rede og laa hos ham, og han fornam ikke, der hun lagde gig, eller der hun stod op.
36 Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father.
Saa undfik begge Lots Døtre af deres Fader.
37 The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.
Og den førstefødte fødte en Søn, og hun kaldte hans Navn Moab; han er de Moabiters Fader indtil denne Dag.
38 The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. He is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.
Og den yngste fødte ogsaa en Søn og kaldte hans Navn Ben-Ammi; han er Ammons Børns Fader indtil denne Dag.
