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.
The two angels came to Sodom [Burning] at evening. Lot [Veil, Covering] sat in the gate of Sodom [Burning]. Lot [Veil, Covering] saw them, and rose up to meet them. He bowed himself with his face to the earth,
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, “See now, my lords, please turn aside into your servant’s house, stay all night, wash your feet, and you can rise up early, and go on your way.” They said, “No, but we will stay in the street all night.”
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.
He urged them greatly, and they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked matzah ·unleavened bread·, 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.
But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom [Burning], surrounded the house, both young and old, 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?
They called to Lot [Veil, Covering], and said to him, “Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them.”
6 Lòt soti al jwenn yo nan papòt la. Li fèmen pòt la dèyè do l',
Lot [Veil, Covering] went out to them to the door, and shut the door after him.
7 li di yo konsa Tanpri, mezanmi. Pa fè bagay sal sa a.
He said, “Please, my brothers, don’t act so 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.
See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them what seems good to you. Only don’t do anything to these men, because they have 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.
They said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now will we deal worse with you, than with them!” They pressed hard on the man Lot [Veil, Covering], and came 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.
But the men reached out their hand, and brought Lot [Veil, Covering] 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.
They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
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.
The men said to Lot [Veil, Covering], “Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whoever you have 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 will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before Adonai that Adonai 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.
Lot [Veil, Covering] went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, “Get up! Get out of this place, for Adonai will destroy the city.” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.
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.
When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot [Veil, Covering], saying, “Get up! Take your wife, and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the depravity (moral evil) 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.
But he lingered; and the men grabbed his hand, his wife’s hand, and his two daughters’ hands, Adonai being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of 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.
It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, “Escape for your life! Don’t look behind you, and don’t stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be consumed!”
18 Men, Lòt reponn li. O! Non, Mèt. Tanpri, pa mande m' tout sa.
Lot [Veil, Covering] said to them, “Oh, not so, my 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.
See now, your servant has found chen ·grace· in your sight, and you have magnified your chesed ·loving-kindness·, which you have shown to me in saving my life. I can’t escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and 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'.
See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little town. Oh let me escape there, is not it a little one?, and there I will be safe.”
21 Zanj lan di l'. Dakò, Mwen fè ou favè sa a ankò: mwen p'ap detwi ti bouk w'ap pale m' lan.
He said to him, “Behold, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have 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.
Hurry, escape there, for I can’t do anything until you get there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar [Small].
23 Solèy te fèk ap leve lè Lòt rive Zoa.
The sun had risen on the earth when Lot [Veil, Covering] came to Zoar [Small].
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.
Then Adonai caused sulfur and fire to rain down upon Sodom [Burning] and Gomorrah [Rebellious people, Tyrants] from Adonai out of the sky.
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.
He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.
26 Men, madan Lòt vire gade dèyè. Lamenm li tounen yon gwo estati sèl.
But 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.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Adonai.
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.
He looked toward Sodom [Burning] and Gomorrah [Rebellious people, Tyrants], and toward all the land of the plain, and looked, and saw that the smoke of the land went up 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.
When God destroyed the 'Ieyr HaKikar [Cities of the Round], God remembered Abraham [Father of a multitude], and sent Lot [Veil, Covering] out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot [Veil, Covering] lived.
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.
Lot [Veil, Covering] went up out of Zoar [Small], and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar [Small]. He lived in a cave with 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.
The firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us in the way 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’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”
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.
They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
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.
It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine again, tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”
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.
They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she got up.
36 Se konsa de pitit fi Lòt yo vin ansent pou papa yo.
Thus both of Lot [Veil, Covering]’s daughters 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.
The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab [From father]. He is the father of the Moabites [Descendants of From father] 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.
The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi [Son of my people]. He is the father of the children of Ammon [Tribal people] to this day.
