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,
Alò, de zanj te vini Sodome nan aswè lè Lot te chita nan pòtay Sodome nan. Lè Lot te wè yo, li te leve pou rankontre yo. Li te bese ba avèk figi li atè.
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.”
Epi li te di: “Koulye a, gade byen, frè m yo, souple vire akote nan kay sèvitè ou a, pou pase nwit lan. Lave pye nou, pou nou kapab leve bonè pou fè wout nou.” Malgre sa, yo te di: “Non, men nou va pase nwit lan nan lari a.”
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.
Men li te plede avèk yo avèk fòs. Konsa yo te vire akote vè li e te antre lakay li a, e li te prepare yon gwo manje pou yo. Anplis li te kwit pen san ledven a, e yo te manje.
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.
Avan yo gen tan kouche, mesye Sodome yo te antoure kay la, ni jèn, ni vye, tout moun ki te sòti nan tout katye yo.
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.”
Konsa, yo te rele Lot e te di li: “Kote mesye sa yo ki te vin kote ou aswè a? Mennen yo bannou pou nou kapab antre an relasyon avèk yo.”
6 Lot went out to them through the door, and shut the door after himself.
Men Lot te sòti kote yo nan pòtay la, e te fèmen pòt la dèyè l.
7 He said, “Please, my brothers, don’t act so wickedly.
Li te di: “Souple, frè m yo, pa aji avèk mechanste.
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.”
Byen gade, mwen gen de fi ki pa janm antre an relasyon avèk yon gason. Souple, kite m mennen yo deyò pou nou, e fè avèk yo sa ke nou pito, men pa fè anyen avèk mesye sa yo, akoz se anba pwotèj twati mwen yo gen tan vini.”
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.
Men yo te di: “Mete ou akote.” Anplis ke sa yo te di: “Sila te antre tankou etranje, e deja l ap aji kòm jij. Pou sa a, nou va trete ou pi mal pase yo.” Epi yo te peze rèd kont Lot, e yo te prèt pou kase pòt la.
10 But the men reached out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
Men mesye yo nan kay la te lonje men yo rale Lot anndan avèk yo, e yo te fèmen pòt la.
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.
Yo te frape mesye ki te nan pòtay kay la pou yo vin avèg, ni piti ni gran, pou yo fatige kò yo e pou yo pa t ka twouve pòt la.
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:
Konsa, de mesye yo te di Lot: “Kilès ankò ke ou gen isit la? Yon bofis, fis ou yo, e nenpòt moun ou gen nan vil la, mennen yo sòti kite plas sa a,
13 for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown so great before Yahweh that Yahweh has sent us to destroy it.”
paske nou prèt pou detwi plas sila a, akoz plent pa yo gen tan vin tèlman gran devan SENYÈ a, ke SENYÈ a te voye nou pou detwi li.”
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 Yahweh will destroy the city!” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.
Lot te ale deyò pou te pale avèk bofis li yo, ki te prèt pou marye avèk fi li yo, e li te di: “Leve sòti kite plas sila a, paske SENYÈ a va detwi vil la.” Men li te sanble a bofis li a ke se yon blag ke li t ap fè.
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.”
Lè maten an te rive, zanj yo te bourade Lot. Yo te di l: “Leve, pran madanm ou avèk de fis ou yo ki isit la, oswa ou va vin disparèt nan pinisyon vil la.”
16 But he lingered; and the men grabbed his hand, his wife’s hand, and his two daughters’ hands, Yahweh being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.
Men li te fè reta. Pou sa, mesye sa yo te sezi men l avèk men madanm li avèk men a de fi li yo, paske konpasyon SENYÈ a te sou li. Yo te mennen li deyò, e yo te mete l deyò vil la.
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!”
Lè yo te mennen yo deyò, youn nan yo te di: “Sove ale pou lavi ou! Pa gade dèyè, e pa rete nan okenn kote nan vale a. Sove ale nan mòn yo, oswa ou va detwi nèt.”
18 Lot said to them, “Oh, not so, my lord.
Men Lot de di yo: “Alò, li pa konsa, mèt mwen yo!
19 See now, your servant has found favor 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.
Koulye a gade byen, sèvitè nou an gen tan twouve favè nan zye nou, nou te montre jan mizerikòd nou gran nan sove vi m, men mwen p ap kapab chape nan mòn yo, paske malè a va gen tan rive sou mwen, e mwen va mouri.
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.”
Gade byen, vil sila a ase pre pou m sove ale ladann, e li piti. Souple, kite mwen chape pa la. Èske li pa piti? Konsa vi m kapab sove.”
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.
Li te di li: “Gade byen, mwen ba ou demann sa a tou, pou pa detwi vil la sou sila ou te pale a.
22 Hurry, escape there, for I can’t do anything until you get there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
Fè vit, chape rive la, paske mwen pa kapab fè anyen jiskaske ou rive la.” Pou sa yo te rele vil la Tsoar.
23 The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
Solèy la te gen tan fin leve sou tè a lè Lot te rive Tsoar.
24 Then Yahweh rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from Yahweh out of the sky.
Epi SENYÈ a te fè souf avèk dife ki sòti nan syèl la, tonbe tankou lapli sou Sodome avèk Gomorrhe.
25 He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.
Li te detwi vil sila yo, ak tout vale a, ak tout moun ki te rete nan vil yo, ansanm ak sa ki te grandi nan tè a.
26 But Lot’s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Men madanm li ki te dèyè li te gade dèyè, e li te tounen yon pilye sèl.
27 Abraham went up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Yahweh.
Alò, Abraham te leve granmmaten. Li te ale nan plas kote li te kanpe devan SENYÈ a,
28 He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.
epi li te gade anba vè Sodome avèk Gomorrhe, vè tout teren nan vale a. Li te wè, e gade byen, lafimen te monte tankou lafimen ki sòti nan founo.
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.
Se konsa li rive ke lè Bondye te detwi vil yo nan vale a, ke Li te sonje Abraham. Li te voye Lot deyò dega a, lè li te boulvèse vil yo nan sila Lot te rete.
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.
Lot te kite Tsoar e monte. Li te rete nan mòn yo avèk de fi li yo avè l, paske li te pè rete Tsoar. Li te rete nan yon kav, li menm avèk de fis li yo.
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.
Alò premye ne a te vin di a pi Jèn nan: “Papa nou vin vye, e nou pa gen gason sou latè pou vin antre nan nou apre sistèm sou tè a.
32 Come, let’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”
Vini, annou fè papa nou bwè diven, e annou kouche avè l pou nou kapab prezève fanmi nou an pa papa nou.”
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.
Pou sa, yo te fè papa yo bwè diven menm nwit lan, e premye ne a te antre kouche avèk papa li. Li pa t konnen ni lè li te kouche a, ni lè li te leve a.
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.”
Jou swivan an, premye ne a te di a pi Jèn nan, “Gade byen, yè swa mwen te kouche avèk papa m. Annou fè li bwè diven aswè a tou, epi ou menm antre kouche avè l, pou nou prezève fanmi nou an ak papa nou.”
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.
Alò, yo te fè papa yo bwè diven nan nwit lan tou, epi pi Jèn nan te leve e kouche avè l. Epi li pa t konnen ni lè li te kouche a, ni lè li te leve a.
36 Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father.
Konsa tou de fi a Lot yo te vin ansent pa papa yo.
37 The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.
Premye ne a te fè yon fis, e li te rele non li Moab. Li se papa a Moabit yo jis rive jodi a.
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.
Epi pou pi Jèn nan, li te fè yon fis tou, e li te rele li Ben-Ammi. Li se papa a tout fis Ammon yo jis rive jodi a.
