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.
So the two messengers went in towards Sodom at eventide, Lot, being seated in the gate of Sodom, —so Lot beheld and rose up to meet them, and 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 Behold, I pray you my lords turn aside, I pray you, into the house of your servant, —and tarry the night and bathe your feet, so shall ye rise early, and go on your way. And they said, Nay, but, in the broad way, will we tarry the 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.
But he became exceeding urgent with them, so they turned aside unto him and entered into his house, —and he made for them a banquet, unleavened cakes, also did he bake, and they did eat.
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.
Ere yet they lay down, the men of the city—the men of Sodom, had come round against the house, from youth even unto age, —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 unto Lot and said to him, Where are the men who have come in unto thee tonight? Bring them forth unto us, and let us know them!
6 Lòt soti al jwenn yo nan papòt la. Li fèmen pòt la dèyè do l',
And Lot went forth unto them to the entrance; but the door, closed he behind him.
7 li di yo konsa Tanpri, mezanmi. Pa fè bagay sal sa a.
And he said, —Do not I pray you my brethren act 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, I pray you, I, have two daughters who have not known man, I must needs now bring, them, forth unto you, and do ye to them, as may be good in your eyes, —Only to these men, ye may do nothing; for on this account, have they come under the shade 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, Stand back, And they said, This one, by himself, hath come in to sojourn and must always be acting the judge, Now, will we do more wickedly to thee, than to them. So they pressed sore upon the man—upon Lot—exceedingly, and drew near to break open 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 thrust forth their hand, and brought Lot in unto them into the house—and, the door, they closed:
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.
the men also who were at the entrance of the house, smote they with blindness, from small even unto great, so that 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 unto Lot, Whom besides hast thou here? Son-in-law and thy sons and thy daughters, and all that thou hast in the city, bring thou forth 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 about to destroy this place, —for, great, is the outcry of them unto the face of Yahweh, so that Yahweh hath 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 forth and spake unto his sons-in-law who were about to take his two daughters and said Arise come forth out of this place, for Yahweh is about to destroy the city. And it came to pass, that he was as one that laughed, in the eyes 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.
But as soon as, the dawn had sprung up, the messengers hastened Lot saying, —Arise! take thy wife and thy two daughters that are at hand, lest thou be swept away in the punishment 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 he lingered—so the men laid hold of his hand and of the hand of his wife and of the hand of his two daughters, in the tenderness of Yahweh towards him, —and they brought him out and led him forth outside 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 forth outside, that they said, Escape for thy life, Look not behind thee, neither stand still in all the vale, —To the mountain, escape thou lest thou be swept away.
18 Men, Lòt reponn li. O! Non, Mèt. Tanpri, pa mande m' tout sa.
And Lot said unto them, —No, I pray thee, 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.
Behold, I pray thee thy servant hath found favour in thine eyes, so that thou hast magnified thy lovingkindness which thou hast performed with me in keeping alive my soul.—But, I, cannot escape to the mountain, lest calamity overtake me so shall 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, I pray thee, this city, is near for fleeing thither And, it, is a little one, let me I pray thee, escape thither—is it not a, little, one? That my soul may 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 unto him, Behold! I have lifted up thy countenance, even as to this thing, —so 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 thee escape thither, for I cannot do anything, until thou have come in thither. For this cause: was the name of the city called Zoar.
23 Solèy te fèk ap leve lè Lòt rive Zoa.
When, the sun, had come forth on the earth, Lot had entered into 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, Yahweh, rained, upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah, brimstone and fire, —from Yahweh, out of the heavens:
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.
so he overthrew these cities, and all the circuit, —and all the inhabitants of the cities, and the produce of the ground.
26 Men, madan Lòt vire gade dèyè. Lamenm li tounen yon gwo estati sèl.
But his wife looked from behind him, —and became—a pillar of salt.
27 Nan granmaten, Abraram leve, li ale kote li te kanpe ap pale ak Seyè a.
And Abraham gat up early in the morning, unto the place where he had stood before Yahweh;
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 out over the face of Sodom and Gomorrah, and over all the face of the land of the circuit, and beheld and lo! the smoke of the land went up, like 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 circuit, that God remembered Abraham, and sent forth Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities wherein Lot had 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 out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain and his two daughters with him. for he feared to dwell in Zoar, so 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 firstborn said unto the younger. Our father is old, —and, a man, there is not in the earth to come in unto us, after 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 on! let us cause our father to drink wine and let us lie with him, that we may keep alive from our father, a seed.
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.
So they caused their father to drink wine that night, —and the firstborn went in. and lay with her father, but he noticed not her lying down nor her rising up.
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 morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Lo! I lay, last night with my father, let us cause him to drink wine this night also, and go thou in—lie with him, that we may keep alive from our father, a seed.
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.
So they caused their father, on that night also to drink wine, and the younger arose, and lay with him, but he noticed not her lying down, nor her rising up.
36 Se konsa de pitit fi Lòt yo vin ansent pou papa yo.
Thus did, the two daughters of Lot conceive from 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 firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab, —the same, is the father of Moab, unto 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 bare a son, and called his name Ben-ammi, —the same, is the father of the sons of Ammon—unto this day.
