Jenèz 19
1 Alò, de zanj te vini Sodome nan aswè lè Lot te chita nan pòtay Sodome nan. Lè Lot te wè yo, li te leve pou rankontre yo. Li te bese ba avèk figi li atè.
And the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of the city. And seeing them, he rose up and went to meet them: and worshipped prostrate to the ground,
2 Epi li te di: “Koulye a, gade byen, frè m yo, souple vire akote nan kay sèvitè ou a, pou pase nwit lan. Lave pye nou, pou nou kapab leve bonè pou fè wout nou.” Malgre sa, yo te di: “Non, men nou va pase nwit lan nan lari a.”
And said: I beseech you, my lords, turn in to the house of your servant, and lodge there: wash your feet, and in the morning you shall go on your way. And they said: No, but we will abide in the street.
3 Men li te plede avèk yo avèk fòs. Konsa yo te vire akote vè li e te antre lakay li a, e li te prepare yon gwo manje pou yo. Anplis li te kwit pen san ledven a, e yo te manje.
He pressed them very much to turn in unto him: and when they were come into his house, he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread and they ate:
4 Avan yo gen tan kouche, mesye Sodome yo te antoure kay la, ni jèn, ni vye, tout moun ki te sòti nan tout katye yo.
But before they went to bed, the men of the city beset the house both young and old, all the people together.
5 Konsa, yo te rele Lot e te di li: “Kote mesye sa yo ki te vin kote ou aswè a? Mennen yo bannou pou nou kapab antre an relasyon avèk yo.”
And they called Lot, and said to him: Where are the men that came in to thee at night? bring them out hither that we may know them:
6 Men Lot te sòti kote yo nan pòtay la, e te fèmen pòt la dèyè l.
Lot went out to them, and shut the door after him, and said:
7 Li te di: “Souple, frè m yo, pa aji avèk mechanste.
Do not so, I beseech you, my brethren, do not commit this evil.
8 Byen gade, mwen gen de fi ki pa janm antre an relasyon avèk yon gason. Souple, kite m mennen yo deyò pou nou, e fè avèk yo sa ke nou pito, men pa fè anyen avèk mesye sa yo, akoz se anba pwotèj twati mwen yo gen tan vini.”
I have two daughters who as yet have not known man: I will bring them out to you, and abuse you them as it shall please you, so that you do no evil to these men, because they are come in under the shadow of my roof.
9 Men yo te di: “Mete ou akote.” Anplis ke sa yo te di: “Sila te antre tankou etranje, e deja l ap aji kòm jij. Pou sa a, nou va trete ou pi mal pase yo.” Epi yo te peze rèd kont Lot, e yo te prèt pou kase pòt la.
But they said: Get thee back thither. And again: Thou camest in, said they, as a, stranger, was it to be a judge? therefore we will afflict thee more than them. And they pressed very violently upon Lot: and they were even at the point of breaking open the doors.
10 Men mesye yo nan kay la te lonje men yo rale Lot anndan avèk yo, e yo te fèmen pòt la.
And behold the men put out their hand, and drew in Lot unto them, and shut the door:
11 Yo te frape mesye ki te nan pòtay kay la pou yo vin avèg, ni piti ni gran, pou yo fatige kò yo e pou yo pa t ka twouve pòt la.
And them that were without, they struck with blindness from the least to the greatest, so that they could not find the door.
12 Konsa, de mesye yo te di Lot: “Kilès ankò ke ou gen isit la? Yon bofis, fis ou yo, e nenpòt moun ou gen nan vil la, mennen yo sòti kite plas sa a,
And they said to Lot: Hast thou here any of thine? son in law, or sons, or daughters, all that are thine bring them out of this city:
13 paske nou prèt pou detwi plas sila a, akoz plent pa yo gen tan vin tèlman gran devan SENYÈ a, ke SENYÈ a te voye nou pou detwi li.”
For we will destroy this place, because their cry is grown loud before the Lord, who hath sent us to destroy them.
14 Lot te ale deyò pou te pale avèk bofis li yo, ki te prèt pou marye avèk fi li yo, e li te di: “Leve sòti kite plas sila a, paske SENYÈ a va detwi vil la.” Men li te sanble a bofis li a ke se yon blag ke li t ap fè.
So Lot went out, and spoke to his sons in law that were to have his daughters, and said: Arise: get you out of this place, because the Lord will destroy this city. And he seemed to them to speak as it were in jest.
15 Lè maten an te rive, zanj yo te bourade Lot. Yo te di l: “Leve, pran madanm ou avèk de fis ou yo ki isit la, oswa ou va vin disparèt nan pinisyon vil la.”
And when it was morning, the angels pressed him, saying: Arise, take thy wife, and the two daughters which thou hast: lest thou also perish in the wickedness of the city.
16 Men li te fè reta. Pou sa, mesye sa yo te sezi men l avèk men madanm li avèk men a de fi li yo, paske konpasyon SENYÈ a te sou li. Yo te mennen li deyò, e yo te mete l deyò vil la.
And as he lingered, they took his hand, and the hand of his wife, and of his two daughters, because the Lord spared him.
17 Lè yo te mennen yo deyò, youn nan yo te di: “Sove ale pou lavi ou! Pa gade dèyè, e pa rete nan okenn kote nan vale a. Sove ale nan mòn yo, oswa ou va detwi nèt.”
And they brought him forth, and set him without the city: and there they spoke to him, saying: Save thy life: look not back, neither stay thou in all the country about: but save thyself in the mountain, lest thou be also consumed.
18 Men Lot de di yo: “Alò, li pa konsa, mèt mwen yo!
And Lot said to them: I beseech thee my Lord,
19 Koulye a gade byen, sèvitè nou an gen tan twouve favè nan zye nou, nou te montre jan mizerikòd nou gran nan sove vi m, men mwen p ap kapab chape nan mòn yo, paske malè a va gen tan rive sou mwen, e mwen va mouri.
Because thy servant hath found grace before thee, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewn to me, in saving my life, and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil seize me, and I die:
20 Gade byen, vil sila a ase pre pou m sove ale ladann, e li piti. Souple, kite mwen chape pa la. Èske li pa piti? Konsa vi m kapab sove.”
There is this city here at hand, to which I may flee, it is a little one, and I shall be saved in it: is it not a little one, and my soul shall live?
21 Li te di li: “Gade byen, mwen ba ou demann sa a tou, pou pa detwi vil la sou sila ou te pale a.
And he said to him: Behold also in this, I have heard thy prayers, not to destroy the city for which thou hast spoken.
22 Fè vit, chape rive la, paske mwen pa kapab fè anyen jiskaske ou rive la.” Pou sa yo te rele vil la Tsoar.
Make haste and be saved there, because I cannot do any thing till thou go in thither. Therefore the name of that city was called Segor.
23 Solèy la te gen tan fin leve sou tè a lè Lot te rive Tsoar.
The sun was risen upon the earth, and Lot entered into Segor.
24 Epi SENYÈ a te fè souf avèk dife ki sòti nan syèl la, tonbe tankou lapli sou Sodome avèk Gomorrhe.
And the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.
25 Li te detwi vil sila yo, ak tout vale a, ak tout moun ki te rete nan vil yo, ansanm ak sa ki te grandi nan tè a.
And he destroyed these cities, and all the country about, all the inhabitants of the cities, and all things that spring from the earth.
26 Men madanm li ki te dèyè li te gade dèyè, e li te tounen yon pilye sèl.
And his wife looking behind her, was turned into a statue of salt.
27 Alò, Abraham te leve granmmaten. Li te ale nan plas kote li te kanpe devan SENYÈ a,
And Abraham got up early in the morning and in the place where he had stood before with the Lord,
28 epi li te gade anba vè Sodome avèk Gomorrhe, vè tout teren nan vale a. Li te wè, e gade byen, lafimen te monte tankou lafimen ki sòti nan founo.
He looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha, and the whole land of that country: and he saw the ashes rise up from the earth as the smoke of a furnace.
29 Se konsa li rive ke lè Bondye te detwi vil yo nan vale a, ke Li te sonje Abraham. Li te voye Lot deyò dega a, lè li te boulvèse vil yo nan sila Lot te rete.
Now when God destroyed the cities of that country, remembering Abraham, he delivered Lot out of the destruction of the cities wherein he had dwelt.
30 Lot te kite Tsoar e monte. Li te rete nan mòn yo avèk de fi li yo avè l, paske li te pè rete Tsoar. Li te rete nan yon kav, li menm avèk de fis li yo.
And Lot went up out of Segor, and abode in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, (for he was afraid to stay in Segor, ) and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters with him.
31 Alò premye ne a te vin di a pi Jèn nan: “Papa nou vin vye, e nou pa gen gason sou latè pou vin antre nan nou apre sistèm sou tè a.
And the elder said to the younger Our father is old, and there is no man left on the earth, to come in unto us after the manner of the whole earth.
32 Vini, annou fè papa nou bwè diven, e annou kouche avè l pou nou kapab prezève fanmi nou an pa papa nou.”
Come, let us make him drunk with wine, and let us lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
33 Pou sa, yo te fè papa yo bwè diven menm nwit lan, e premye ne a te antre kouche avèk papa li. Li pa t konnen ni lè li te kouche a, ni lè li te leve a.
And they made their father drink wine that night: and the elder went in and lay with her father: but he perceived not neither when his daughter lay down, nor when she rose up.
34 Jou swivan an, premye ne a te di a pi Jèn nan, “Gade byen, yè swa mwen te kouche avèk papa m. Annou fè li bwè diven aswè a tou, epi ou menm antre kouche avè l, pou nou prezève fanmi nou an ak papa nou.”
And the next day the elder said to the younger: Behold I lay last night with my father, let us make him drink wine also to night, and thou shalt lie with him, that we may save seed of our father.
35 Alò, yo te fè papa yo bwè diven nan nwit lan tou, epi pi Jèn nan te leve e kouche avè l. Epi li pa t konnen ni lè li te kouche a, ni lè li te leve a.
They made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in, and lay with him: and neither then did he perceive when she lay down, nor when she rose up.
36 Konsa tou de fi a Lot yo te vin ansent pa papa yo.
So the two daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
37 Premye ne a te fè yon fis, e li te rele non li Moab. Li se papa a Moabit yo jis rive jodi a.
And the elder bore a son, and she called his name Moab: he is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
38 Epi pou pi Jèn nan, li te fè yon fis tou, e li te rele li Ben-Ammi. Li se papa a tout fis Ammon yo jis rive jodi a.
The younger also bore a son, and she called his name Ammon, that is, the son of my people: he is the father of the Ammonites unto this day.
