And they said - approach beyond and they said the one he came to sojourn and he has judged continuously now we will do harm to you more than them and they urged the man Lot exceedingly and they approached to break down the door.

And they stretched out the men hand their and they brought Lot to them the house towards and the door they closed.

And the men who [were] [the] entrance of the house they struck with sudden blindness from small and unto great and they became weary to find the entrance.

And when the dawn it came up and they urged the angels Lot saying arise take wife your and [the] two daughters your who are found lest you should be swept away in [the] punishment of the city.

And he delayed - and they took hold the men on hand his and on [the] hand of wife his and on [the] hand of [the] two daughters his in [the] mercy of Yahweh towards him and they brought out him and they placed him from [the] outside of the city.

Here! please he has found servant your favor in view your and you have made great loyalty your which you have done with me by preserving alive life my and I not I am able to escape the hill country towards lest it should cling to me the calamity and I will die.

Here! please the city this [is] near to flee there towards and it [is] a small place let me escape please there towards ¿ not a small place [is] it so it may live life my.
21 II lui répondit: "Eh bien! je te favoriserai encore en ceci, en ne bouleversant point la ville dont tu parles.
And he said to him here! I lift up face your also to the matter this to not to overthrow I the city which you have spoken.
22 Hâte-toi, cours-y! car je ne puis agir que tu n’y sois arrivé." Voilà pourquoi l’on a appelé cette ville Çoar.

And he looked down on [the] face of Sodom and Gomorrah and on all [the] face of [the] land of the valley and he saw and there! it went up [the] smoke of the land like [the] smoke of furnace.

And it was when destroyed God [the] cities of the valley and he remembered God Abraham and he sent out Lot from [the] middle of the overthrow when overthrew the cities which he had dwelt in them Lot.
