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,
Nao araika acio eerĩ magĩkinya Sodomu hwaĩ-inĩ, nake Loti aikarĩte kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩu inene. Rĩrĩa aamoonire-rĩ, agĩũkĩra nĩguo amatũnge, na agĩturumithia ũthiũ wake thĩ.
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.'
Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Aathi akwa, ndamũthaitha ũkai mũtoonye nyũmba ya ndungata yanyu. No mwĩthambe magũrũ na mũraarĩrĩre, na rũciinĩ tene mũrooke gũthiĩ na mbere na rũgendo rwanyu.” No-o makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Aca, ithuĩ tũkũraara nja kĩhaaro-inĩ.”
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.
Nowe Loti akĩmaringĩrĩria na hinya mũno mathiĩ gwake mũciĩ, nginya magĩtĩkĩra. Magĩthiĩ nake, magĩtoonya nyũmba gwake. Nake akĩmathondekera irio, akĩruga mĩgate ĩtaarĩ ndawa ya kũimbia, nao makĩrĩa.
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;
Matanathiĩ gũkoma-rĩ, arũme othe a kuuma ituri ciothe cia itũũra rĩu rĩa Sodomu, arĩa ethĩ na arĩa akũrũ, makĩrigiicĩria nyũmba ya Loti.
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.'
Nao magĩĩta Loti, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa mookire gwaku ũtukũ ũyũ-rĩ, marĩ-kũ? Marehe na gũkũ nja, tũkome nao.”
6 And Lot goeth out unto them, to the opening, and the door hath shut behind him,
Loti akiuma na nja amatũnge, na akĩhinga mũrango,
7 and saith, 'Do not, I pray you, my brethren, do evil;
akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Aca, arata akwa; mũtigeke ũndũ ũcio wa waganu.
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.'
Atĩrĩrĩ, ndĩ na airĩtu akwa eerĩ matarĩ maakoma na mũndũ mũrũme. Rekei ndĩmarehe na gũkũ nja, na inyuĩ mwĩke o ũrĩa mũkwenda nao. No mũtigeke ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ kũrĩ andũ aya, tondũ mokĩte gwakwa na no nginya ndĩmagitĩre.”
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.
Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ehera.” Na makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ ookire gũkũ arĩ mũgeni, na rĩu arenda gũtũciirithia! Wee nĩwe tũgwĩka ũũru gũkĩra acio!” Magĩkĩrĩrĩria kũhatĩrĩria Loti, na magĩkuhĩrĩria nĩguo moinange mũrango.
10 And the men put forth their hand, and bring in Lot unto them, into the house, and have shut the door;
No ageni acio maarĩ thĩinĩ magĩtambũrũkia moko, makĩguucia Loti, makĩmũcookia nyũmba na makĩhinga mũrango.
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.
Magĩcooka makĩhũũra andũ acio maarĩ nja ya mũrango wa nyũmba, ethĩ na akũrũ, na ũtumumu nĩgeetha mage kuona mũrango.
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;
Andũ acio eerĩ makĩũria Loti atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩ na andũ angĩ aku gũkũ, ta arĩa mahikĩtie airĩtu aku, aanake kana airĩtu aku, kana mũndũ ũngĩ waku o wothe ũrĩ itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ inene? Moimagarie muume gũkũ,
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.'
tondũ nĩtũkwananga kũndũ gũkũ. Mũkayo ũrĩa ũkaĩirwo Jehova okĩrĩre andũ a gũkũ nĩ mũnene mũno, na nĩatũtũmĩte tũũke tũrĩanange.”
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Loti akiumagara, agĩthiĩ akĩaria na athoni ake, arĩa maarĩ mahikie airĩtu ake. Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwĩhĩkei muume kũndũ gũkũ, nĩ ũndũ Jehova arĩ hakuhĩ kwananga itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene!” No athoni ake magĩĩciiria nĩ itherũ aamaringaga.
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.'
Rũciinĩ ruoro rũgĩtema-rĩ, araika acio makĩhĩkahĩka Loti, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wĩhĩke! Oya mũtumia waku na airĩtu aku eerĩ arĩa marĩ gũkũ, kana mũniinanĩrio na itũũra rĩĩrĩ rĩkĩherithio.”
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.
Rĩrĩa Loti aahindahindire-rĩ, andũ acio makĩmũnyiita guoko, na moko ma mũtumia wake na ma airĩtu ake eerĩ, na makĩmoimagaria o wega nginya nja ya itũũra rĩu inene, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩamaiguĩrĩire tha.
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.'
Na maarĩkia kũmaruta nja ya itũũra, ũmwe wao akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwĩtharei mũhonokie mĩoyo yanyu! Mũtikehũgũre, na mũtikarũgame handũ o na ha gũkũ kĩaragana-inĩ gĩkĩ! Ũrĩrai irĩma-inĩ, kana mũniinwo!”
18 And Lot saith unto them, 'Not [so], I pray thee, my lord;
No Loti akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Aca, aathi akwa, ndamũthaitha!
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;
Tondũ ndungata yanyu nĩ ĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte maitho-inĩ manyu, na nĩmũnyonetie ũtugi mũnene wa kũhonokia muoyo wakwa, no ndingĩhota kũũrĩra irĩma-inĩ; mwanangĩko ũyũ nĩũkũngorerera, na nĩngũkua.
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.'
Ta rorai, haarĩa harĩ na itũũra rĩrĩ hakuhĩ ingĩũrĩra, na nĩ inini. Rekei njũrĩre kuo, nĩ itũũra inini mũno, githĩ tiguo? Naguo muoyo wakwa nĩũkũhonoka.”
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;
Nake mũraika akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ wega mũno, nĩngũkũiguĩra ihooya rĩu o narĩo; Ndikũharagania itũũra rĩu waria ũhoro warĩo.
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.
No rĩrĩ, ũrĩra kuo na ihenya, nĩ ũndũ gũtirĩ ũndũ ingĩĩka nginya ũkinye kuo.” (Nĩkĩo itũũra rĩu rĩĩtagwo Zoari.)
23 The sun hath gone out on the earth, and Lot hath entered into Zoar,
Loti agĩkinya Zoari-rĩ, riũa nĩrĩarĩkĩtie kũratha.
24 and Jehovah hath rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah, from the heavens;
Nake Jehova akiurĩria Sodomu na Gomora mwaki wa ũbiriti uumĩte igũrũ kũrĩ Jehova.
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.
Nake akĩharagania matũũra macio manene, na kĩaragana kĩu gĩothe, o hamwe na arĩa othe maatũire matũũra-inĩ macio manene, o na mĩmera yothe ya bũrũri ũcio.
26 And his wife looketh expectingly from behind him, and she is — a pillar of salt!
No mũtumia wa Loti nĩehũgũrire na thuutha, nake agĩtuĩka gĩtugĩ gĩa cumbĩ.
27 And Abraham riseth early in the morning, unto the place where he hath stood [before] the face of Jehovah;
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ rũciinĩ tene-rĩ, Iburahĩmu agĩũkĩra na agĩcooka handũ harĩa aarũgamĩte mbere ya Jehova.
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.
Agĩcũthĩrĩria mwena wa Sodomu na Gomora, bũrũri wothe wa kĩaragana kĩu, nake akĩona ndogo ndumanu yambatĩte na igũrũ kuuma bũrũri-inĩ ũcio, ĩhaana ta ndogo yumĩte icua-inĩ.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, rĩrĩa Jehova aanangire matũũra macio manene ma kĩaragana kĩu, nĩaririkanire Iburahĩmu, na akĩruta Loti mwanangĩko-inĩ ũcio waharaganirie matũũra macio manene kũrĩa Loti atũire.
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.
Thuutha ũcio Loti akiuma Zoari, agĩthiĩ gũtũũra kĩrĩma-inĩ arĩ hamwe na airĩtu ake eerĩ, tondũ nĩetigĩrire gũikara Zoari. We na airĩtu ake eerĩ magĩtũũra ngurunga-inĩ.
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;
Mũthenya ũmwe-rĩ, mũirĩtu ũrĩa warĩ mũkũrũ akĩĩra ũrĩa warĩ mũnini atĩrĩ, “Ithe witũ nĩ mũkũrũ, na gũtirĩ mũndũ mũrũme ũrĩ hakuhĩ wa gũkoma na ithuĩ, ta ũrĩa arĩ mũtugo kũndũ guothe gũkũ thĩ.
32 come, we cause our father to drink wine, and lie with him, and preserve from our father — a seed.'
Reke tũhe ithe witũ ndibei anyue nĩgeetha tũkome nake, na tũtũũrie rũciaro rwitũ na ũndũ wa ithe witũ.”
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.
Ũtukũ ũcio magĩtũma ithe wao anyue ndibei, na mũirĩtu ũrĩa mũkũrũ agĩtoonya na agĩkoma nake. Nowe Loti ndaamenyire rĩrĩa mũirĩtu aakomire kana rĩrĩa ookĩrire.
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.'
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ, mũirĩtu ũrĩa mũkũrũ akĩĩra ũrĩa mũnini atĩrĩ, “Hwaĩ ũtukũ nĩ niĩ ndĩrakomire na ithe witũ. Reke tũmũhe ndibei rĩngĩ anyue ũtukũ wa ũmũthĩ, nawe ũthiĩ ũkome nake, nĩgeetha tũtũũrie rũciaro rwitũ na ũndũ wa ithe witũ.”
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩtũma ithe wao anyue ndibei ũtukũ ũcio o naguo, nake mũirĩtu ũrĩa warĩ mũnini agĩtoonya agĩkoma nake. O rĩngĩ Loti ndaamenyire rĩrĩa mũirĩtu aakomire kana rĩrĩa ookĩrire.
36 And the two daughters of Lot conceive from their father,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio airĩtu acio eerĩ a Loti makĩgĩa nda na ithe wao.
37 and the first-born beareth a son, and calleth his name Moab; he [is] father of Moab unto this day;
Mũirĩtu ũrĩa mũkũrũ agĩciara kahĩĩ na agĩgatua Moabi, na nĩwe ithe wa andũ a Moabi gwata ũmũthĩ.
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.
Mũirĩtu ũrĩa mũnini o nake agĩciara kahĩĩ, nake agĩgatua Beni-Ami, na nĩwe ithe wa Aamoni arĩa marĩ kuo nginya ũmũthĩ.
