Farawa 19
1 Mala’ikun nan biyu suka iso Sodom da yamma. Lot kuwa yana zama a hanyar shiga birnin. Da ya gan su, sai ya tashi don yă tarye su, ya kuma rusuna da fuskarsa har ƙasa.
That evening, the two angels arrived in Sodom. Lot was sitting at the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to greet them, and prostrated himself with his face on the ground.
2 Ya ce, “Ranku yă daɗe, ina roƙonku ku ratsa zuwa gidan bawanku. Ku wanke ƙafafunku, ku kwana, sa’an nan ku kama hanyarku da sassafe.” Suka ce, “A’a, za mu kwana a dandali.”
He said to them, “Gentlemen, please stay in my house tonight. You can wash your feet, and tomorrow you can continue your journey.” But they said, “No, we will just sleep in the city square.”
3 Amma ya nace musu ƙwarai, sai suka tafi tare da shi, suka kuma shiga gidansa. Ya shirya musu abinci, ya gasa burodi marasa yisti, suka ci.
But Lot kept insisting strongly that they sleep in his house. So they entered his house with him, and he prepared a meal for them. He baked some bread without yeast, and they ate it.
4 Kafin suka shiga barci, sai ga dukan mutane, ƙanana da manya daga kowane ɓangare na birnin Sodom, suka kewaye gidan.
After they finished eating, before they went to bed, the men of Sodom [city], all of them, from the young ones to the old ones, surrounded the house.
5 Suka kira Lot, suka ce, “Ina mutanen da suka zo wurinka a daren nan? Fito mana da su waje domin mu kwana da su.”
They called out to Lot, saying, “Where are the men who came to your house this evening? Bring them out, so that we can have sex with them!” [EUP]
6 Lot ya fita daga cikin gida, ya rufe ƙofar a bayansa. Ya je wurin mutanen
Lot went outside the house and shut the door behind him, so that they could not go inside.
7 ya ce musu, “A’a, abokaina kada ku yi wannan mummunan abu.
He said to them, “My friends, don’t do such an evil thing!
8 Duba, ina da’ya’ya mata biyu waɗanda ba su taɓa sanin namiji ba, bari in kawo muku su ku yi kome da kuke so da su. Amma kada ku taɓa waɗannan mutane, gama su baƙina ne kuma dole in tsare su.”
Listen to me. I have two daughters who have never had sex with any man. Let me bring them out to you now, and you can do with them whatever pleases you. But don’t do anything to these men, because they are guests in my house, [so I must protect them]!”
9 Sai mutanen birnin suka amsa, “Ba mu wuri! Wannan mutum ya zo nan kamar baƙo, ga shi yanzu yana so yă zama alƙali! Za mu wulaƙanta ka fiye da su.” Suka ci gaba da matsa wa Lot lamba, suka matsa kusa domin su fasa ƙofar.
But they replied, “Get out of our way! You are a foreigner; so you have no right to tell us what is right! [If you don’t get out of our way], we will do worse things to you than we will do to them!” Then they lunged towards Lot, and tried forcefully to break down the door.
10 Amma mutanen da suke ciki suka miƙa hannunsu, suka ja Lot zuwa cikin gida, suka rufe ƙofar.
But the two angels opened the door carefully, reached out their hands, and pulled Lot to them inside the house. Then they quickly shut the door.
11 Sai suka bugi mutanen da suke a bakin ƙofar gidan da makanta, ƙanana da manya duka, har suka gajiyar da kansu, suna lalluba inda ƙofar take.
Then they caused all the men who were outside the door of the house, young and old, to become blind, so that they could not find the door.
12 Mutanen nan biyun suka ce wa Lot, “Kana da wani a nan, ko surukai, ko’ya’ya maza ko mata, ko kuwa wani dai a cikin birni wanda yake naka? Ka fitar da su daga nan,
Then the two angels said to Lot, “Who else is with you here? If you have sons or sons-in-law or daughters or anyone else in the city who is related to you, take them out of the city,
13 gama za mu hallaka wannan wuri. Kukan da aka yi ga Ubangiji game da mutanen birnin nan ya yi yawa sosai, ya sa har ya aiko mu domin mu hallaka birnin.”
because we are the ones who are going to destroy this place. Yahweh considers that these people are so evil that he sent us to destroy the city.”
14 Saboda haka Lot ya tafi ya yi magana da surukansa waɗanda suka yi alkawari za su aure’ya’yansa mata. Ya ce, “Ku yi sauri ku fita daga wannan wuri, gama Ubangiji yana gab da hallaka birnin.” Amma surukansa suka ɗauka wasa yake yi.
So Lot went and spoke to the men who had pledged to marry his daughters. He said to them, “Hurry! Get out of this city, because Yahweh is about to destroy it!” But his future sons-in-law thought he was joking.
15 Gari na wayewa, sai mala’ikun nan suka ƙarfafa Lot suna cewa, “Yi sauri! Ka ɗauki matarka da’ya’yanka biyu mata waɗanda suke a nan, don kada a shafe ku sa’ad da ake hukunta birnin.”
As it was about to dawn the next morning, the two angels urged Lot, saying, “Get up quickly! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here with you and leave! If you don’t, you will die when [we destroy/Yahweh destroys] the city!”
16 Da yana jan jiki, sai mutanen suka kama hannunsa da hannuwan matarsa da na’ya’yansa biyu mata, suka kai su bayan birni, gama Ubangiji ya nuna musu jinƙai.
When Lot hesitated, the angels grasped his hand and his wife’s hand and the hands of his two daughters. They led them outside the city safely. The angels did that because Yahweh was acting mercifully toward them.
17 Da suka fitar da su, sai ɗaya daga cikin mala’ikun ya ce, “Ku gudu domin ranku; kada ku duba baya, kada kuma ku tsaya ko’ina cikin kwarin! Ku gudu zuwa cikin duwatsu, don kada a hallaka ku!”
When they were outside the city, one of the angels said, “[If you want to remain alive], run away quickly! Don’t look back! And don’t stop anywhere in the valley! Flee to the hills! If you don’t, you will die!”
18 Amma Lot ya ce musu, “A’a, ranka yă daɗe, ka yi haƙuri!
But Lot said to one of the angels, “No, sir, don’t make me do that!
19 Bawanku ya riga ya sami tagomashi daga gare ku, kun kuma nuna mini alheri mai yawa. Ba zan iya in gudu zuwa duwatsu ba, wannan masifa za tă same ni, zan kuma mutu.
Please, listen. You have been pleased with me and have been very kind to me and spared my life. But I cannot flee to the mountain. If I try to do that, I will die in this disaster [PRS].
20 Ga ɗan gari can ya fi kusa inda zan gudu in fake. Bari in gudu zuwa can, in tsirar da raina.”
But listen to me. There is a town nearby. Let me run to that small town. Let me go there now. It is a small town, but our lives will be saved if we go there.”
21 Sai ya ce masa, “Na yarda da abin da ka ce, ba zan hallakar da garin da ka ambata ba.
One of the angels said to Lot, “I will allow you to do what you have requested [MTY]. I will not destroy the little town you are speaking about.
22 Gaggauta, ka gudu zuwa can, ba zan yi kome ba sai ka isa can.” (Domin haka ne ake kira garin Zowar.)
But hurry! Run there, because I cannot destroy anything until you arrive there.” People later called the name of the town Zoar [which means ‘small’, ] because Lot said it was small.
23 A lokacin da Lot ya isa Zowar, rana ta hau.
As the sun was rising, Lot and his family arrived in the town which is now called Zoar.
24 Sai Ubangiji ya yi ta zuba kibiritu a bisa Sodom da Gomorra daga sama.
Then Yahweh caused fire and [burning] sulfur to fall down on Sodom and Gomorrah like rain.
25 Haka ya hallakar da waɗannan birane da kuma kwarinsu gaba ɗaya, haɗe da dukan waɗanda suke zama a biranen, da kuma dukan shuke-shuke da suke cikin ƙasar.
In that way, he destroyed those cities and all the people who were living in those cities. He also destroyed everything in the valley, including all the plants/vegetation.
26 Amma matar Lot ta waiwaya baya, ta kuma zama ginshiƙin gishiri.
But Lot’s wife stopped and looked back [to see what was happening], so she died, and her body [later] became a pillar of salt.
27 Da sassafe kashegari, Ibrahim ya tashi ya koma wurin da dā ya tsaya a gaban Ubangiji.
That morning, Abraham got up and went to the place where he had stood in front of Yahweh.
28 Ya duba ta wajen Sodom da Gomorra, da wajen dukan filayen ƙasar, sai ya ga hayaƙi baƙin ƙirin yana tashi daga ƙasar kamar hayaƙi daga matoya.
He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and he [was surprised to] see that all over the valley, smoke was rising, like the smoke of a huge furnace.
29 Saboda haka sa’ad da Allah ya hallaka waɗannan biranen kwarin, ya tuna da Ibrahim, ya kuma fitar da Lot daga masifar da ta hallaka biranen da Lot ya zauna.
So, when God destroyed those cities in the valley, he remembered what he had promised Abraham, and he rescued Lot from the disaster that occurred in the cities where Lot had lived.
30 Lot da’ya’yansa biyu mata suka bar Zowar suka kuma zauna a cikin duwatsu, gama ya ji tsoro yă zauna a Zowar. Shi da’ya’yansa biyu mata suka zauna a ciki wani kogo.
Lot was afraid to stay in Zoar, so he left there and moved with his two daughters to the mountain, and they lived in a cave.
31 Wata rana’yarsa babba ta ce wa ƙanuwarta, “Mahaifinmu ya tsufa, kuma babu wani mutum kusa a nan da zai yi mana ciki mu haifi’ya’ya; yadda al’ada take a ko’ina a duniya.
One day the older daughter said to (the younger daughter/her sister), “Our father is old, and there is no man in this area who can have sex [EUP] with us, as people all over the earth do.
32 Bari mu sa mahaifinmu yă sha ruwan inabi, sa’an nan sai mu kwana da shi, don kada zuriyar mahaifinmu ta ƙare.”
Let’s make our father drink wine until he gets drunk. Then we can have sex with him [EUP] [without him knowing it]. In that way [he will cause us to become pregnant] and we can bear children.”
33 A wannan dare, suka sa mahaifinsu ya sha ruwan inabi,’yar farin ta shiga ta kwana da shi. Shi kuwa bai san sa’ad da ta kwanta ko sa’ad da ta tashi ba.
So that night they caused their father to become drunk. And the older daughter went in and lay in bed with her father, and he had sex with her, but he was so drunk that he did not know when she lay down with him or when she got up.
34 Kashegari,’yar farin ta ce wa ƙanuwar, “Jiya da dare na kwana da mahaifina. Bari mu sa yă sha ruwan inabi kuma yau da dare, ke ma ki shiga ki kwana da shi, domin kada zuriyar mahaifinmu ta ƙare.”
The next day, his older daughter said to (his younger daughter/her sister), “Listen to me. Last night I slept with our father. Let’s cause him to become drunk again tonight! This time you can go and sleep with him. If he has sex with you, you can become pregnant, and that way you can have a child, too.”
35 Sai suka sa mahaifinsu ya sha ruwan inabi, a wannan dare ma, ƙanuwar ta shiga ta kwana da shi. Bai kuwa san sa’ad da ta kwanta ko sa’ad da ta tashi ba.
So that night, they caused their father to become drunk with wine again, and then his younger daughter went and slept with him. But again, he was so drunk that he did not know when she lay down with him or when she got up.
36 Ta haka’ya’yan Lot biyu mata duk suka yi ciki daga mahaifinsu.
So Lot caused his two daughters to become pregnant.
37 ’Yar farin ta haifi ɗa, ta kuma ba shi suna Mowab, shi ne mahaifin Mowabawa a yau.
The older one later gave birth to a son, whom she named Moab. He became the ancestor of the Moab people-group.
38 ’Yar ƙaramar ma ta haifi ɗa, ta kuwa ba shi suna Ben-Ammi, shi ne mahaifin Ammonawa a yau.
The younger one also gave birth to a son, whom she named Ben-Ammi. He became the ancestor of the Ammon people-group.
