< Kinohi 19 >

1 A AHIAHI iho la, hiki aku la na anela elua ma Sodoma: a noho iho la o Lota ma ka ipuka o Sodoma: ike aku la o Lota, ku ae la ia e halawai me lakou, a kulou iho la kona mau maka ilalo ma ka honua;
Now the two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When Lot saw them, he got up to meet them, bowed facedown,
2 I aku la, E kuu mau haku, ke noi aku nei au ia olua, e kipa mai olua maloko o ka hale o ka olua kauwa nei, e moe no a ao ka po, a e holoi i ko olua wawae, a kakahiaka nui e ala'e olua a e hele aku. I mai la laua, Aole, e moe no maua ma ke alanui a ao ka po.
and said, “My lords, please turn aside into the house of your servant; wash your feet and spend the night. Then you can rise early and go on your way.” “No,” they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.”
3 Koi ikaika aku la ia ia laua; a kipa ae la laua io na la, a komo aku la iloko o kona hale; a hana iho no ia i ahaaina na laua, pulehu iho la i ka palaoa huole, a ai iho la laua.
But Lot insisted so strongly that they followed him into his house. He prepared a feast for them and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
4 Aole laua i moe iho, a o na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale, o na kanaka o Sodoma, o ka poe kahiko a me ka poe hou, o na kanaka a pau mai o a o, hoopuni mai la lakou i ka hale:
Before they had gone to bed, all the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, surrounded the house.
5 Kahea mai la lakou ia Lota, i mai la ia ia, Auhea na kanaka i hele mai i ou la i keia po? E kai mai ia laua iwaho io makou nei, i ike makou ia laua.
They called out to Lot, saying, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Send them out to us so we can have relations with them!”
6 Hele aku la o Lota iwaho ma ka puka io lakou la; a papani ae la i ka puka mahope ona.
Lot went outside to meet them, shutting the door behind him.
7 I aku la, E na hoahanau, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oukou, mai hana hewa oukou.
“Please, my brothers,” he pleaded, “don’t do such a wicked thing!
8 Eia hoi ia'u na kaikamahine elua i ike ole i ke kane; e ae mai oukou ia'u e lawe mai ia laua iwaho io oukou nei, a e hana aku oukou ia laua i ka mea pono ma ko oukou maka: aka, mai hana aku oukou i kekahi mea i keia mau kanaka; no ka mea, nolaila laua i hele mai nei ma ka malumalu o kuu hale.
Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them to you, and you can do to them as you please. But do not do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.”
9 I mai la lakou, E hookaawale oe. I ae la hoi lakou, I hele mai no oia nei e noho wale maanei, a e lilo ana ka ia i lunakanawai: ano hoi, e oi aku ka makou hana ino ana ia oe i ko laua la. A hookeke nui mai la lakou i ua kanaka nei, ia Lota, a neenee mai la e wawahi i ka pani puka.
“Get out of the way!” they replied. And they declared, “This one came here as a foreigner, and he is already acting like a judge! Now we will treat you worse than them.” And they pressed in on Lot and moved in to break down the door.
10 Aka, lalau aku la ua mau kanaka la ia Lota, a huki mai laua ia ia iloko o ka hale io laua la, a papani aku la i ka puka.
But the men inside reached out, pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.
11 Hoomakapo iho la laua i ka poe kanaka iwaho o ka puka o ka hale, i na mea uuku a me na mea nui: a hoopauaho lakou ia lakou iho i ka imi i ka puka.
And they struck the men at the entrance, young and old, with blindness, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the door.
12 I mai la laua ia Lota, Aole anei ia oe kekahi poe e ae maanei? o ka hunonakane paha, o na keikikane au, a me au mau kaikamahine, a o na mea a pau ia oe, e laweia'ku iwaho o keia wahi:
Then the two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—a son-in-law, your sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here,
13 No ka mea, e luku aku maua i keia wahi, no ka nui loa ae o ka leo no lakou, imua o ke alo o Iehova; a ua hoouna mai no o Iehova ia maua e luku aku ia wahi.
because we are about to destroy this place. For the outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that He has sent us to destroy it.”
14 Hele aku la o Lota iwaho, olelo aku la i kona mau hunonakane i mare me na kaikamahine ana, i aku la, E ala'e, e holo aku iwaho o keia wahi; no ka mea, e luku mai ana o Iehova i neia kulanakauhale. Aka, ua like ia i ka manao o na hunonakane me ka mea hoomaewaewa.
So Lot went out and spoke to the sons-in-law who were pledged in marriage to his daughters. “Get up,” he said. “Get out of this place, for the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.
15 I ka wanaao, hoolalelale ua mau anela la ia Lota, i mai la, E ala ae, e lawe i kau wahine, a me kau mau kaikamahine elua maanei, o pau auanei oe iloko o ka make o ko ke kulanakauhale.
At daybreak the angels hurried Lot along, saying, “Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city.”
16 Ia ia i hookaulua ai, lalau aku la ua mau kanaka la i kona lima, me ka lima o kana wahine, a me ka lima o kana mau kaikamahine elua; ahonui mai la o Iehova ia ia: alakai aku la laua ia ia, a hookuu aku la iwaho o ke kulanakauhale.
But when Lot hesitated, the men grabbed his hand and the hands of his wife and his two daughters. And they led them safely out of the city, because of the LORD’s compassion for them.
17 I ka wa i alakai aku ai laua ia lakou iwaho o ke kulanakauhale, alaila i mai la ia, E holo i pakele kou ola; mai nana i hope ou, mai kali oe ma neia wahi papu a pau; e holo i ka mauna, o make oe.
As soon as the men had brought them out, one of them said, “Run for your lives! Do not look back, and do not stop anywhere on the plain! Flee to the mountains, or you will be swept away!”
18 I aku la o Lota ia laua, Auwe! e kuu Haku, aole pela.
But Lot replied, “No, my lords, please!
19 Eia hoi, ua loaa iho nei i kau kauwa ka lokomaikai imua o kou mau maka, a ua hoonui ae nei oe i kou aloha au i hoike mai ai ia'u i ka hoola ana mai ia'u, aole e hiki ia'u ke holo ma ka mauna, o loaa ia'u ka poino, a make au.
Your servant has indeed found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness by sparing my life. But I cannot run to the mountains; the disaster will overtake me, and I will die.
20 Eia ae ke kulanakauhale, e hiki koke ke holo malaila, a ua liilii hoi ia; ea, e ae mai ia'u e holo malaila, (aole anei ia he wahi liilii?) a e malamaia kuu ola.
Look, there is a town nearby where I can flee, and it is a small place. Please let me flee there—is it not a small place? Then my life will be saved.”
21 I mai la kela ia ia, Aia, ua hoolohe aku no au i keia mea hoi; aole au e luku aku ia kulanakauhale, no ka mea au i olelo mai ai.
“Very well,” he answered, “I will grant this request as well, and will not demolish the town you indicate.
22 E wikiwiki oe e holo ilaila; no ka mea, aole e hiki ia'u ke hana i kekahi mea, a puka aku no oe ilaila. Nolaila, ua kapaia ka inoa o ia kulanakauhale, o i Zoara.
Hurry! Run there quickly, for I cannot do anything until you reach it.” That is why the town was called Zoar.
23 Ua puka mai ka la maluna o ka honua i ke komo ana o Lota iloko o Zoara.
And by the time the sun had risen over the land, Lot had reached Zoar.
24 Alaila, hooua mai la o Iehova maluna o Sodoma i ka luaipele a me ke ahi mai o Iehova la, mai ka lani mai.
Then the LORD rained down sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens.
25 Hookahuli iho la oia ia mau kulanakauhale, a me kahi papu a pau, a me na kanaka a pau o ua mau kulanakauhale la, a me na mea ulu ma ka honua.
Thus He destroyed these cities and the entire plain, including all the inhabitants of the cities and everything that grew on the ground.
26 Aka, nana ae la kana wahine mahope ona, a lilo iho la ia i kukulu paakai.
But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 Ala ae la o Aberahama i kakahiaka nui, a hoi hou aku la ia i kahi ana i ku ai imua o Iehova:
Early the next morning, Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD.
28 Nana aku la ia ma Sodoma a me Gomora, a ma ka aina papu a pau, ike aku la ia, aia hoi, pii ae la ka uahi o ia aina iluna, e like me ka punohu o ka lua ahi.
He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and all the land of the plain, and he saw the smoke rising from the land like smoke from a furnace.
29 A i ka wa a ke Akua i luku ai i na kulanakauhale o ka papu, hoomanao iho la no ke Akua ia Aberahama, a hoopakele ae la ia Lota maiwaena aku o ka hookahuli ana, ia ia i hookahuli ai i na kulanakauhale kahi a Lota i noho ai.
So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, He remembered Abraham, and He brought Lot out of the catastrophe that destroyed the cities where he had lived.
30 Pii ae la o Lota mailoko aku o Zoara, a noho iho la ma ka mauna, a me ia pu na kaikamahine ana elua; no ka mea, makau iho la ia ke noho ma Zoara: noho no ia ma kekahi ana, oia a me kana mau kaikamahine elua.
Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains—for he was afraid to stay in Zoar—where they lived in a cave.
31 I aku la ka hanau mua i kona kaikaina, Ea, ua elemakule ko kana makuakane, aole hoi he kanaka ma ka honua nei a pau nana e komo mai io kaua nei, e like me ka nana ana a ko ka honua nei:
One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man in the land to sleep with us, as is the custom over all the earth.
32 Ina kaua, o hooinu kaua i ko kaua makuakane i ka waina, a e moe kaua me ia, i malama ai kana i hua na ko kaua makuakane.
Come, let us get our father drunk with wine so we can sleep with him and preserve his line.”
33 Hooinu laua ia po i ko laua makuakane i ka waina: a komo aku la ka hanau mua iloko, a moe iho la me kona makuakane: aole nae i ike kela i kona wa i moe iho ai, aole hoi kona wa i ala'i.
So that night they got their father drunk with wine, and the firstborn went in and slept with her father; he was not aware when she lay down or when she got up.
34 A ia la ae, i aku la ka hanau mua i ke kaikaina, Aia hoi, moe iho no au me kuu makuakane i ka po nei: e hooinu kaua ia ia i ka waina i keia po no hoi; a e komo aku oe iloko, e moe me ia, i malama ai kana i hua na ko kana makuakane.
The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Look, I slept with my father last night. Let us get him drunk with wine again tonight so you can go in and sleep with him and we can preserve our father’s line.”
35 Hooinu laua i ko laua makuakane i ka waina ia po no hoi: a ku ae la ke kaikaina, a moe iho la me ia; aole kela i ike i kona wa i moe iho ai, aole hoi i kona wa i ala ai.
So again that night they got their father drunk with wine, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him; he was not aware when she lay down or when she got up.
36 Hapai na kaikamahine elua a Lota na ko laua makuakane.
Thus both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.
37 Hanau mai la ka mua i keikikane, a kapa iho la i kona inoa o Moaba: oia ke kupuna o ka Moaba a hiki i keia manawa.
The older daughter gave birth to a son and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites of today.
38 A hanau mai la hoi ka muli iho i keikikane, a kapa iho la i kona inoa o Benami: oia ke kupuna o ka Amona a hiki i keia manawa.
The younger daughter also gave birth to a son, and she named him Ben-ammi. He is the father of the Ammonites of today.
