Jenèz 19
1 De zanj Bondye yo rive Sodòm nan aswè. Lòt te chita bò pòtay lavil la. Wè li wè yo, li leve, li al kontre yo. Li bese tèt li jouk atè pou l' di yo bonjou.
And the two angels came to Sodom at even. And Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. And Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them; and he bowed down, the face toward the ground,
2 Li di. Mesye, mwen la pou m' sèvi nou. Tanpri, vin lakay mwen. n'a ka lave pye nou, n'a pase nwit la la. Denmen maten, n'a leve, n'a reprann wout nou. Mesye yo reponn. Non. Nou pral pase nwit la sou laplas la.
and he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and lodge, and wash your feet; and ye shall rise up early, and go on your way. And they said, No; but we will pass the night in the open place.
3 Men Lòt te fòse yo sitèlman, y' al lakay li avè l'. Lòt pare yon bon manje pou yo, li fè pen san ledven. Epi yo manje.
And he urged them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house. And he made them a repast, and baked unleavened cakes; and they ate.
4 Yo pa t' ankò kouche, lè mesye lavil Sodòm yo, jenn gason kou vye tonton, sènen kay la. tout gason nan lavil la te kouri vini.
Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, from the youngest to the oldest — all the people from every quarter.
5 Yo rele Lòt, yo di l' konsa. Kote mesye ki vin pase nwit lakay ou aswè a? Fè yo soti vin jwenn nou pou nou kouche ak yo?
And they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men that have come in to thee to-night? bring them out to us that we may know them.
6 Lòt soti al jwenn yo nan papòt la. Li fèmen pòt la dèyè do l',
And Lot went out to them to the entrance, and shut the door after him,
7 li di yo konsa Tanpri, mezanmi. Pa fè bagay sal sa a.
and said, I pray you, my brethren, do not wickedly!
8 Gade, mwen gen de pitit fi ki tifi toujou, m'ap mennen yo ban nou. Nou mèt fè sa nou vle avèk yo. Men, pa fè mesye sa yo anyen, paske mwen resevwa yo lakay mwen, mwen fèt pou m' pwoteje yo.
Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known a man: let me now bring them out to you; and do to them as is good in your sight: only, to these men do nothing; for therefore have they come under the shadow of my roof.
9 Men, yo di. Wete kò ou la. Se moun vini ou ye! Kisa ou ye atò pou ou vin di nou sa pou nou fè. Sispann fè radòt la a, anvan nou pa fè ou pi mal pase yo. Sa ou tande a, yo bourade Lòt, epi yo pwoche pou yo defonse pòt la.
And they said, Back there! And they said [again], This one came to sojourn, and he must be a judge? Now we will deal worse with thee than with them. And they pressed hard on the man — on Lot; and drew near to break the door.
10 Men, de mesye yo ki te anndan an lonje men yo, yo rale Lòt antre anndan, epi yo fèmen pòt la.
And the men stretched out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
11 Lèfini, yo vegle tout mesye ki te devan pòt kay la, depi pi piti a jouk pi gran an. Se konsa mesye yo t'ap vire tounen adwat agoch, yo pa t' kapab jwenn kote pòt kay la te ye.
And they smote the men that were at the entrance of the house with blindness, from the smallest to the greatest; and they wearied themselves to find the entrance.
12 De mesye yo pale ak Lòt, yo di l' konsa. Ki moun ankò ou gen nan lavil la? Pran bofi ou yo, pitit gason ou yo, ak pitit fi ou yo ansanm ak tout bagay ou gen nan lavil la, mete kò ou deyò.
And the men said to Lot, Whom hast thou here besides? a son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and all whom thou hast in the city — bring [them] out of the place.
13 Nou pral detwi tout bò isit la. Seyè a te tande tout sa yo t'ap di sou moun lavil sa a. Li voye nou detwi l'.
For we are going to destroy this place, because the cry of them is great before Jehovah, and Jehovah has sent us to destroy it.
14 Lòt soti, li al jwenn mari pitit fi li yo, li di yo. Leve non, fè vit, ann met deyò. Seyè a pral detwi lavil la. Men bofi li yo te kwè se jwe li t'ap jwe.
And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, Up, go out of this place, for Jehovah will destroy the city. But he was as if he jested, in the sight of his sons-in-law.
15 Kou jou pral kase, zanj Bondye yo leve Lòt pou l' fè vit. Yo di l'. Fè vit non, monchè! Pran madanm ou ak de pitit fi ou yo, met deyò. Si se pa sa, n'ap mouri tout lè Bondye ap pini lavil la.
And as the dawn arose, the angels urged Lot, saying, Up, take thy wife and thy two daughters who are present, lest thou perish in the iniquity of the city.
16 Lè yo wè Lòt t'ap kalbende, yo pran men li, yo pran men madanm li ansanm ak de pitit fi li yo, yo mennen yo andeyò lavil la, yo lage yo. Yo te fè sa, paske Seyè a te gen pitye pou Lòt.
And as he lingered, the men laid hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters, Jehovah being merciful to him; and they led him out, and set him without the city.
17 Apre zanj yo te fin fè yo soti nan lavil la, yo di l'. Sove poul ou, si ou pa vle mouri. Pa gad dèyè. Pa rete menm nan plenn lan. Kouri al nan mòn yo pou ou pa pase tou.
And it came to pass when they had brought them outside, that he said, Escape for thy life: look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain: escape to the mountain, lest thou perish.
18 Men, Lòt reponn li. O! Non, Mèt. Tanpri, pa mande m' tout sa.
And Lot said to them, Not [so], I pray thee, Lord;
19 Gade, ou deja fè m' yon gwo favè. Ou moutre m' jan ou gen pitye anpil pou mwen. Ou sove lavi m'. Men, mòn lan twò lwen. m'a mouri anvan m' rive, malè a va gen tan rive sou mwen.
behold now, thy servant has found favour in thine eyes, and thou hast magnified thy goodness, which thou hast shewn to me in preserving my soul alive; but I cannot escape to the mountain, lest calamity lay hold on me, that I die.
20 Gade: ou wè ti bouk sa a? Li toupre. m'a gen tan rive la pou m' kache kò mwen. Tanpri, kite m' ale la. Ou wè se yon ti kote ki tout piti. Konsa m'a sove lavi m'.
Behold now, this city is near to flee to, and it is small: I pray thee, let me escape thither — is it not small? — and my soul shall live.
21 Zanj lan di l'. Dakò, Mwen fè ou favè sa a ankò: mwen p'ap detwi ti bouk w'ap pale m' lan.
And he said to him, Behold, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which thou hast spoken.
22 Kouri vit ale. Mwen p'ap ka fè anyen toutotan ou poko rive la. Se poutèt sa yo rele ti bouk la Zoa.
Haste, escape thither; for I cannot do anything until thou art come there. Therefore the name of the city is called Zoar.
23 Solèy te fèk ap leve lè Lòt rive Zoa.
The sun rose upon the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
24 Lè sa a, Seyè a fè yon sèl lapli souf ak dife soti nan syèl la tonbe sou Sodòm ak Gomò. Wi, se Seyè a menm ki te fè sa.
And Jehovah rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah out of heaven,
25 Li detwi de lavil sa yo ak tout plenn lan ansanm ak tout moun ki te rete nan lavil yo ak tout plant ki t'ap pouse nan tè a.
and overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew upon the ground.
26 Men, madan Lòt vire gade dèyè. Lamenm li tounen yon gwo estati sèl.
And his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 Nan granmaten, Abraram leve, li ale kote li te kanpe ap pale ak Seyè a.
And Abraham rose early in the morning [and went] to the place where he had stood before Jehovah;
28 Li voye je l' bò Sodòm ak Gomò, li wè tout plenn lan. Epi li rete konsa li wè gwo lafimen ap moute soti nan tè a tankou lafimen k'ap leve nan yon gwo founo dife.
and he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and lo, a smoke went up from the land as the smoke of a furnace.
29 Se konsa, lè Bondye t'ap detwi lavil yo nan plenn lan, li chonje Abraram. Li fè Lòt chape anba malè li tapral lage sou lavil kote li te rete a.
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 Men Lòt te pè rete nan bouk Zoa a. Se konsa, li menm ak de pitit li yo, yo soti Zoa, yo moute, y al rete nan mòn yo. Yo fè kay yo nan yon gwo twou wòch.
And Lot went up from 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 Pi gran fi a di pi piti a. Papa nou ap fin granmoun. Pa gen gason nan peyi a pou marye ak nou pou nou ka fè pitit jan sa fèt toupatou.
And the first-born said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the land to come in to us after the manner of all the earth:
32 Vini non. Annou fè papa bwè diven jouk li sou. Apre sa, n'a kouche avè l'. Konsa, n'a fè pitit pou papa nou.
come, let us give our father wine to drink, and let us lie with him, that we may preserve seed alive of our father.
33 Menm jou sa a, lè aswè rive, yo fè papa yo bwè diven jouk li sou. Pi gran fi a kouche ak papa l'. Men, papa a te sitèlman sou, li pa t' konn anyen.
And they gave their father wine to drink that night. And the first-born went in, and lay with her father, and he did not know of her lying down, nor of her rising.
34 Nan denmen, pi gran an di pi piti a. Yèswa, mwen te kouche ak papa m'. Aswè a se tout pa ou: N'ap fè l' bwè diven ankò jouk li sou. Epi w'a al kouche avè l', pou nou de nou kapab fè pitit pou papa nou.
And it came to pass on the next day that the first-born said to the younger, Lo, I lay last night with my father: let us give him wine to drink to-night also, and go thou in, lie with him, that we may preserve seed alive of our father.
35 Se konsa, lè aswè rive, yo fè papa a bwè diven ankò jouk li sou. Epi pi piti a kouche avè l'. Men, fwa sa a ankò, Lòt pa t' konnen anyen.
And they gave their father wine to drink that night also. And the younger arose, and lay with him; and he did not know of her lying down, nor of her rising.
36 Se konsa de pitit fi Lòt yo vin ansent pou papa yo.
And both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
37 Pi gran an fè yon pitit gason, li rele l' Moab. Se li menm ki zansèt moun Moab yo ki la jouk koulye a.
And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites to this day.
38 Pi piti a tout fè yon pitit gason. Li rele l' Bennami. Se li menm ki zansèt moun Amon yo ki la jouk jòdi a.
And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi; the same is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.
