Kĩambĩrĩria 19
1 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.
And the two angels came to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom; and Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them; and he fell down on his face to the earth;
2 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.”
and he said: 'Behold now, my lords, turn aside, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your way.' And they said: 'Nay; but we will abide in the broad place all night.'
3 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.
And he urged them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
4 Matanathiĩ gũkoma-rĩ, arũme othe a kuuma ituri ciothe cia itũũra rĩu rĩa Sodomu, arĩa ethĩ na arĩa akũrũ, makĩrigiicĩria nyũmba ya Loti.
But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.
5 Nao magĩĩta Loti, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa mookire gwaku ũtukũ ũyũ-rĩ, marĩ-kũ? Marehe na gũkũ nja, tũkome nao.”
And they called unto Lot, and said unto him: 'Where are the men that came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.'
6 Loti akiuma na nja amatũnge, na akĩhinga mũrango,
And Lot went out unto them to the door, and shut the door after him.
7 akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Aca, arata akwa; mũtigeke ũndũ ũcio wa waganu.
And he said: 'I pray you, my brethren, do not so wickedly.
8 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.”
Behold now, I have two daughters that have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes; only unto these men do nothing; forasmuch as they are come under the shadow of my roof.'
9 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.
And they said: 'Stand back.' And they said: 'This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs play the judge; now will we deal worse with thee, than with them.' And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and drew near to break the door.
10 No ageni acio maarĩ thĩinĩ magĩtambũrũkia moko, makĩguucia Loti, makĩmũcookia nyũmba na makĩhinga mũrango.
But the men put forth their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and the door they shut.
11 Magĩcooka makĩhũũra andũ acio maarĩ nja ya mũrango wa nyũmba, ethĩ na akũrũ, na ũtumumu nĩgeetha mage kuona mũrango.
And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great; so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
12 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,
And the men said unto Lot: 'Hast thou here any besides? son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whomsoever thou hast in the city; bring them out of the place;
13 tondũ nĩtũkwananga kũndũ gũkũ. Mũkayo ũrĩa ũkaĩirwo Jehova okĩrĩre andũ a gũkũ nĩ mũnene mũno, na nĩatũtũmĩte tũũke tũrĩanange.”
for we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxed great before the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.'
14 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.
And Lot went out, and spoke unto his sons-in-law, who married his daughters, and said: 'Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy the city.' But he seemed unto his sons-in-law as one that jested.
15 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.”
And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying: 'Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters that are here; lest thou be swept away in the iniquity of the city.'
16 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.
But he lingered; and the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him. And they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
17 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!”
And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said: 'Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the Plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be swept away.'
18 No Loti akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Aca, aathi akwa, ndamũthaitha!
And Lot said unto them: 'Oh, not so, my lord;
19 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.
behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shown unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest the evil overtake me, and I die.
20 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.”
Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one; oh, let me escape thither — is it not a little one? — and my soul shall live.'
21 Nake mũraika akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ wega mũno, nĩngũkũiguĩra ihooya rĩu o narĩo; Ndikũharagania itũũra rĩu waria ũhoro warĩo.
And he said unto him: 'See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which thou hast spoken.
22 No rĩrĩ, ũrĩra kuo na ihenya, nĩ ũndũ gũtirĩ ũndũ ingĩĩka nginya ũkinye kuo.” (Nĩkĩo itũũra rĩu rĩĩtagwo Zoari.)
Hasten thou, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither.' — Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. —
23 Loti agĩkinya Zoari-rĩ, riũa nĩrĩarĩkĩtie kũratha.
The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot came unto Zoar.
24 Nake Jehova akiurĩria Sodomu na Gomora mwaki wa ũbiriti uumĩte igũrũ kũrĩ Jehova.
Then the LORD caused to rain upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
25 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.
and He overthrow those cities, and all the Plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26 No mũtumia wa Loti nĩehũgũrire na thuutha, nake agĩtuĩka gĩtugĩ gĩa cumbĩ.
But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ rũciinĩ tene-rĩ, Iburahĩmu agĩũkĩra na agĩcooka handũ harĩa aarũgamĩte mbere ya Jehova.
And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD.
28 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.
And he looked out toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the Plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.
29 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.
And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the Plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt.
30 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.
And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar; and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
31 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.
And the first-born said unto the younger: 'Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth.
32 Reke tũhe ithe witũ ndibei anyue nĩgeetha tũkome nake, na tũtũũrie rũciaro rwitũ na ũndũ wa ithe witũ.”
Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.'
33 Ũtukũ ũcio magĩtũma ithe wao anyue ndibei, na mũirĩtu ũrĩa mũkũrũ agĩtoonya na agĩkoma nake. Nowe Loti ndaamenyire rĩrĩa mũirĩtu aakomire kana rĩrĩa ookĩrire.
And they made their father drink wine that night. And the first-born went in, and lay with her father; and he knew not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34 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.”
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the first-born said unto the younger: 'Behold, I lay yesternight with my father. Let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.'
35 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.
And they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose, and lay with him; and he knew not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
36 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio airĩtu acio eerĩ a Loti makĩgĩa nda na ithe wao.
Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
37 Mũirĩtu ũrĩa mũkũrũ agĩciara kahĩĩ na agĩgatua Moabi, na nĩwe ithe wa andũ a Moabi gwata ũmũthĩ.
And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab — the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
38 Mũirĩtu ũrĩa mũnini o nake agĩciara kahĩĩ, nake agĩgatua Beni-Ami, na nĩwe ithe wa Aamoni arĩa marĩ kuo nginya ũmũthĩ.
And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi — the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
