Genesis 19
1 And two of the messengers come towards Sodom at even, and Lot is sitting at the gate of Sodom, and Lot seeth, and riseth to meet them, and boweth himself — face to the earth,
Gbe ma gbe ke ƒe fiẽ la, mawudɔla eveawo va ɖo Sodom ƒe agbo nu, eye Lot nɔ afi ma ɣe ma ɣi. Esi Lot kpɔ wo la, etsi tsitre be yeakpe wo, eye wòdo dzaa na wo.
2 and he saith, 'Lo, I pray you, my lords, turn aside, I pray you, unto the house of your servant, and lodge, and wash your feet — then ye have risen early and gone on your way;' and they say, 'Nay, but in the broad place we do lodge.'
Egblɔ na wo be, “Nye amegãwo, miva dze gbɔnye le zã sia me, eye miaklɔ miaƒe afɔwo ŋu. Miate ŋu ayi miaƒe mɔzɔzɔ dzi etsɔ ŋdi kanya.” Wogblɔ be, “Ao, akpe na wò, míadzudzɔ le ablɔ dzi le afi sia ko.”
3 And he presseth on them greatly, and they turn aside unto him, and come in unto his house; and he maketh for them a banquet, and hath baked unleavened things; and they do eat.
Ke Lot ƒoe ɖe wo nu va se ɖe esime woyi eƒe aƒe me, eye wòɖo kplɔ̃ gã aɖe na wo kple abolo si wowɔ teti kple amɔ maʋamaʋã. Esi woɖu nu vɔ,
4 Before they lie down, the men of the city — men of Sodom — have come round about against the house, from young even unto aged, all the people from the extremity;
eye wodi be yewoaɖo xɔ la, Sodom ŋutsuwo, ɖekakpuiwo kple ame tsitsiwo siaa tso dua ƒe akpa sia akpa va ƒo xlã aƒe la,
5 and they call unto Lot and say to him, 'Where [are] the men who have come in unto thee to-night? bring them out unto us, and we know them.'
eye woɖe gbe na Lot be, “Kplɔ ŋutsu mawo vɛ na mí be míadɔ kpli wo.”
6 And Lot goeth out unto them, to the opening, and the door hath shut behind him,
Lot tu ʋɔ ɖe amedzroawo nu, eye wòyi wo gbɔ
7 and saith, 'Do not, I pray you, my brethren, do evil;
ɖaɖe kuku na wo be, “Nɔvinyewo, migawɔ nu baɖa sia tɔgbi o.
8 lo, I pray you, I have two daughters, who have not known any one; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do to them as [is] good in your eyes; only to these men do not anything, for therefore have they come in within the shadow of my roof.'
Mikpɔ ɖa, ɖetugbi eve siwo menya ŋutsu haɖe o la le asinye. Maɖe asi le wo ŋu na mi be miawɔ nu sia nu si adze mia ŋu la kpli wo. Ke migawɔ naneke amedzro siawo ya o, elabena nye dzikpɔkpɔ te wole.”
9 And they say, 'Come nigh hither;' they say also, 'This one hath come in to sojourn, and he certainly judgeth! now, we do evil to thee more than [to] them;' and they press against the man, against Lot greatly, and come nigh to break the door.
Wodo ɣli sesĩe be, “He ɖa le afi ma! Ame kae nèbu be yenye? Míeɖe mɔ na Lot be wòanɔ mía dome abe amedzro ene, ke azɔ la, ele didim be yeagblɔ nu si míawo míawɔ la na mí! Míawɔ nu vevi wò wu nu si míawɔ ame mawo.” Wolũ ɖe Lot dzi, eye wode asi ʋɔtrua gbagbã me.
10 And the men put forth their hand, and bring in Lot unto them, into the house, and have shut the door;
Ke mawudɔla eveawo ʋu ʋɔa, do asi ɖa, he Lot va xɔa me, tu ʋɔa,
11 and the men who [are] at the opening of the house they have smitten with blindness, from small even unto great, and they weary themselves to find the opening.
eye wona Sodomtɔwo ƒe ŋkuwo dzi tsyɔ sẽe, ale be womegate ŋu kpɔ ʋɔtru la o.
12 And the men say unto Lot, 'Whom hast thou here still? son-in-law, thy sons also, and thy daughters, and all whom thou hast in the city, bring out from this place;
Mawudɔlawo bia Lot be, “Wò ƒometɔ kawoe le du sia me? Na woawo ŋutɔ, wo viŋutsuwo, wo vinyɔnuwo, wo toyɔviwo kple lɔ̃xoyɔviwo kple woƒe ƒometɔ bubuawo katã nadzo le du sia me,
13 for we are destroying this place, for their cry hath been great [before] the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah doth send us to destroy it.'
elabena míele du sia tsrɔ̃ ge keŋkeŋ. Nutsotso tso teƒe sia ŋu va ɖo dziƒo, eya ta Yehowa ɖo mí ɖa be míatsrɔ̃e.”
14 And Lot goeth out, and speaketh unto his sons-in-law, those taking his daughters, and saith, 'Rise, go out from this place, for Jehovah is destroying the city;' and he is as [one] mocking in the eyes of his sons-in-law.
Nu sia na Lot ɖe abla yi ɖagblɔ na viawo srɔ̃wo be, “Netsɔ na mi miado go le du sia me, elabena Yehowa le du sia tsrɔ̃ ge.” Ke toawo bui ko abe ahatso kam wòle ene.
15 And when the dawn hath ascended, then the messengers press upon Lot, saying, 'Rise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters who are found present, lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.'
Le fɔŋli la, mawudɔlawo gblɔ na Lot be, “Netsɔ na wò, nàkplɔ srɔ̃wò kple viwò nyɔnuvi eve siwo le afi sia la, eye miasi adzo, ne menye nenema o la, miatsrɔ̃ le du sia tsɔtsrɔ̃ me.”
16 And he lingereth, and the men lay hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters, through the mercy of Jehovah unto him, and they bring him out, and cause him to rest without the city.
Esi Lot nɔ hehem ɖe megbe la, mawudɔlawo lé eya ŋutɔ, srɔ̃a kple viawo ƒe alɔnu, eye wohe wo yi dua godo, afi si woanɔ dedie le, elabena Yehowa kpɔ nublanui na wo.
17 And it cometh to pass when he hath brought them out without, that he saith, 'Escape for thy life; look not expectingly behind thee, nor stand thou in all the circuit; to the mountain escape, lest thou be consumed.'
Mawudɔlawo gblɔ na wo be, “Miɖe abla miaɖe miaƒe agbe, eye migakpɔ megbe o. Misi yi toawo dzi, miganɔ gbadzaƒe le afi sia o. Ne menye nenema o la, miatsrɔ̃.”
18 And Lot saith unto them, 'Not [so], I pray thee, my lord;
Lot gblɔ na wo be, “O, nye Aƒetɔwo, meɖe kuku na mi.
19 lo, I pray thee, thy servant hath found grace in thine eyes, and thou dost make great thy kindness which thou hast done with me by saving my life, and I am unable to escape to the mountain, lest the evil cleave [to] me, and I have died;
Esi mieve nunye alea, eye mieɖe nye agbe ta la, mina masi ayi du sue kemɛ ɖa me boŋ, elabena mele vɔvɔ̃m be dzɔgbevɔ̃e aɖe ava ɖi kpem le toawo dzi.
20 lo, I pray thee, this city [is] near to flee thither, and it [is] little; let me escape, I pray thee, thither, (is it not little?) and my soul doth live.'
Kpɔ ɖa, du la medidi tso afi sia kura o, eye du sue aɖe koe. Meɖe kuku mina mayi afi ma boŋ. Miekpɔ ale si wònye du sue aɖe oa? Matsi agbe le afi ma.”
21 And he saith unto him, 'Lo, I have accepted thy face also for this thing, without overthrowing the city [for] which thou hast spoken;
Mawudɔlawo dometɔ ɖeka gblɔ be, “Enyo, mexɔ wò nya la, eye nyematsrɔ̃ du sue ma o.
22 haste, escape thither, for I am not able to do anything till thine entering thither;' therefore hath he calleth the name of the city Zoar.
Gake miɖe abla! Elabena nyemate ŋu awɔ naneke o, va se ɖe esime miaɖo afi ma.” (Tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, woyɔa du sue ma be Zoar ɖe ƒe suẽnyenye ta.)
23 The sun hath gone out on the earth, and Lot hath entered into Zoar,
Ɣe nɔ dzedzem esi Lot ɖo Zoar.
24 and Jehovah hath rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah, from the heavens;
Tete Yehowa na dzo kple aŋɔ xɔdzo dza tso dziƒo ɖe Sodom kple Gomora dzi,
25 and He overthroweth these cities, and all the circuit, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which is shooting up from the ground.
gblẽ wo kple du gã kple du sue siwo nɔ gbadzaƒe la, eye amewo, atiwo kple lãwo siaa tsrɔ̃ keŋkeŋ.
26 And his wife looketh expectingly from behind him, and she is — a pillar of salt!
Ke Lot srɔ̃ nye kɔ kpɔ megbe, eye wòtrɔ zu dzekɔ.
27 And Abraham riseth early in the morning, unto the place where he hath stood [before] the face of Jehovah;
Gbe ma gbe ŋdi la, Abraham fɔ kaba, eye wòɖe abla yi teƒe si wòtsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa ƒe ŋkume le la.
28 and he looketh on the face of Sodom and Gomorrah, and on all the face of the land of the circuit, and seeth, and lo, the smoke of the land went up as smoke of the furnace.
Ekpɔ Sodom kple Gomora lɔƒo ɖa, eye wòkpɔ be dzudzɔ nɔ tutum kɔlikɔli tso afi ma abe kpodzo gã aɖe me wònɔ dodom tso ene.
29 And it cometh to pass, in God's destroying the cities of the circuit, that God remembereth Abraham, and sendeth Lot out of the midst of the overthrow in the overthrowing of the cities in which Lot dwelt.
Ale Mawu se Abraham ƒe kukuɖeɖe, ena Lot nɔ dedie, eye wòɖee tso ku kple tsɔtsrɔ̃ siwo ƒo xlã Sodom, Gomora kple du siwo ƒo xlã wo la me.
30 And Lot goeth up out of Zoar, and dwelleth in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, for he hath been afraid of dwelling in Zoar, and he dwelleth in a cave, he and his two daughters.
Emegbe la, Lot dzo le Zoar, elabena enɔ afi ma tɔwo vɔ̃m, eye wòyi ɖanɔ agado aɖe me le toawo dzi kple via nyɔnuvi eveawo.
31 And the first-born saith unto the younger, 'Our father [is] old, and a man there is not in the earth to come in unto us, as [is] the way of all the earth;
Gbe ɖeka la, nyɔnuvi tsitsitɔ gblɔ na nɔvia be, “Ŋutsu aɖeke kura mele anyigba sia ƒe akpa sia lɔƒo si mía fofo alɔ̃ be míaɖe o. Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, esusɔ vie mía fofo natsi akpa na vidzidzi.
32 come, we cause our father to drink wine, and lie with him, and preserve from our father — a seed.'
Na míana mía fofo nano wain amu, eye wòadɔ mía gbɔ, ale be míate ŋu adzi vi, eye míaƒe dzidzime nu matso o.”
33 And they cause their father to drink wine on that night; and the first-born goeth in, and lieth with her father, and he hath not known in her lying down, or in her rising up.
Ale wona wain wo fofo wòno hemu. Nyɔnuvi tsitsitɔ yi ɖamlɔ fofoa gbɔ, eye fofoa dɔ kplii, gake fofoa menya o.
34 And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the first-born saith unto the younger, 'Lo, I have lain yesterday-night with my father: we cause him to drink wine also to-night, and go thou in, lie with him, and we preserve from our father — a seed.'
Le ŋdi me la, nyɔnuvi tsitsitɔ gblɔ na nɔvia be, “Medɔ fofonye gbɔ le zã si va yi la me. Na míagana ahae wòagano amu, eye wò hã nàyi aɖamlɔ egbɔ, ale be míaƒe ƒome la nadzi ɖe edzi.”
35 And they cause their father to drink wine on that night also, and the younger riseth and lieth with him, and he hath not known in her lying down, or in her rising up.
Ale wona wo fofo gamu aha gbe ma gbe fiẽ hã, eye nyɔnuvi suetɔ hã yi ɖamlɔ egbɔ. Fofoa dɔ eya hã gbɔ, ke fofoa menya o.
36 And the two daughters of Lot conceive from their father,
Ale nɔvi eveawo fɔ fu na wo fofo Lot.
37 and the first-born beareth a son, and calleth his name Moab; he [is] father of Moab unto this day;
Nyɔnuvi tsitsitɔ dzi ŋutsuvi, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Moab; eyae nye Moab dukɔa tɔgbui.
38 as to the younger, she also hath born a son, and calleth his name Ben-Ammi: he [is] father of the Beni-Ammon unto this day.
Nyɔnuvi suetɔ hã dzi ŋutsuvi, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Ben Ami; eyae nye Amonitɔwo tɔgbui.
