< 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,
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 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.'
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 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.
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 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;
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 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.'
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 And Lot goeth out unto them, to the opening, and the door hath shut behind him,
Men Lot te sòti kote yo nan pòtay la, e te fèmen pòt la dèyè l.
7 and saith, 'Do not, I pray you, my brethren, do evil;
Li te di: “Souple, frè m yo, pa aji avèk mechanste.
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.'
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 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.
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 And the men put forth their hand, and bring in Lot unto them, into the house, and have 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 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.
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 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;
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 are destroying this place, for their cry hath been great [before] the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah doth send 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 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.
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 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.'
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 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.
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 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.'
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 And Lot saith unto them, 'Not [so], I pray thee, my lord;
Men Lot de di yo: “Alò, li pa konsa, mèt mwen yo!
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;
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 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.'
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 And he saith unto him, 'Lo, I have accepted thy face also for this thing, without overthrowing the city [for] which thou hast 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 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.
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 hath gone out on the earth, and Lot hath entered into Zoar,
Solèy la te gen tan fin leve sou tè a lè Lot te rive Tsoar.
24 and Jehovah hath rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah, from the heavens;
Epi SENYÈ a te fè souf avèk dife ki sòti nan syèl la, tonbe tankou lapli sou Sodome avèk Gomorrhe.
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.
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 And his wife looketh expectingly from behind him, and she is — a pillar of salt!
Men madanm li ki te dèyè li te gade dèyè, e li te tounen yon pilye sèl.
27 And Abraham riseth early in the morning, unto the place where he hath stood [before] the face of Jehovah;
Alò, Abraham te leve granmmaten. Li te ale nan plas kote li te kanpe devan SENYÈ a,
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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;
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, we cause our father to drink wine, and lie with him, and preserve from our father — a seed.'
Vini, annou fè papa nou bwè diven, e annou kouche avè l pou nou kapab prezève fanmi nou an pa papa nou.”
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.
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 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.'
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 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.
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 And the two daughters of Lot conceive from their father,
Konsa tou de fi a Lot yo te vin ansent pa papa yo.
37 and the first-born beareth a son, and calleth his name Moab; he [is] father of Moab unto 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 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.
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.
