1 Nʼoge anyasị, ndị mmụọ ozi abụọ ahụ bịarutere Sọdọm. Lọt nọ ala nʼọnụ ụzọ ama obodo ahụ. Mgbe ọ hụrụ ha, o biliri jekwuru ha, hulata ihu ya nʼala.
And in the euening there came two Angels to Sodom: and Lot sate at the gate of Sodom, and Lot sawe them, and rose vp to meete them, and he bowed himselfe with his face to the ground.
2 Ọ sịrị, “Ndị nwe m, batanụ nʼụlọ ohu unu. Unu nwere ike saa ụkwụ unu, nọọkwa ọnọdụ abalị. Chi bọọ, unu nwere ike ibilikwa bido ịga nʼihu nʼije unu.” Ha zara sị, “Ee, anyị ga-edina nʼama.”
And he saide, See my Lords, I pray you turne in nowe into your seruants house, and tarie all night, and wash your feete, and ye shall rise vp early and goe your wayes. Who saide, Nay, but we will abide in the streete all night.
3 Ma Lọt rịọsiri ha ike. Nʼikpeazụ ha sooro ya laa nʼụlọ ya. Ọ kwadooro ha ihe oriri, ya bụ achịcha na-ekoghị eko ka o ghere. Ha rikwara ya.
Then he preassed vpon them earnestly, and they turned in to him, and came to his house, and he made them a feast, and did bake vnleauened bread, and they did eate.
4 Tupu ha abanye ịrahụ ụra, ndị ikom obodo ahụ, ndị ikom Sọdọm, bịara gbaa ụlọ ahụ gburugburu, ma ụmụ okorobịa ma ndị agadi, ndị niile si nʼakụkụ obodo ahụ.
But before they went to bed, the men of the citie, euen the men of Sodom compassed the house rounde about from the yong euen to the olde, all the people from all quarters.
5 Ha kpọrọ Lọt oku sị ya, “Olee ebe ha nọ, bụ ndị ikom ahụ bịara nʼụlọ gị nʼabalị a? Kpọpụtara anyị ha ka anyị na ha dinakọọ.”
Who crying vnto Lot said to him, Where are the men, which came to thee this night? bring them out vnto vs that we may knowe them.
6 Lọt pụkwuru ha nʼezi, mechie ụzọ ụlọ ya,
Then Lot went out at the doore vnto them, and shut the doore after him,
7 sị ha, “Bikonu, ndị enyi m, unu emela ihe ọjọọ dị otu a.
And said, I pray you, my brethren, do not so wickedly.
8 Leenụ, enwere m ụmụ nke aka m, ụmụ agbọghọ abụọ na-amaghị nwoke. Ka m kpọpụtara unu ha, ka unu mee ha ihe masịrị unu. Ma hapụnụ ndị ikom ndị a, nʼihi na ha bụ ndị batara izere ndụ nʼụlọ m.”
Beholde nowe, I haue two daughters, which haue not knowen man: them will I bring out now vnto you, and doe to them as seemeth you good: onely vnto these men doe nothing: for therefore are they come vnder the shadowe of my roofe.
9 Ha zara sị ya, “Pụọra anyị nʼụzọ. Mbịarambịa ka ị bụ! Leenụ mbịarambịa a! Ọ chọrọ ịbụ onye ikpe. Anyị mee gị ihe, ọ ga-ajọrọ gị njọ karịa ihe anyị ga-eme ha.” Ha nuru Lọt aka nughachi ya azụ, malite itiwa ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ya.
Then they said, Away hence, and they said, He is come alone as a stranger, and shall he iudge and rule? we will nowe deale worse with thee then with them. So they preassed sore vpon Lot himselfe, and came to breake the doore.
10 Ma ndị ikom ahụ nọ nʼụlọ Lọt, setịpụrụ aka ha dọbata ya nʼụlọ, ma mechie ụzọ ahụ.
But the men put forth their hand and pulled Lot into the house to them and shut to ye doore.
11 Ha tiri ndị ikom ndị ahụ nọ nʼọnụ ụzọ ihe otiti nke mere ka ha kpụọ ìsì, onye ukwu ha na onye nta ha. Nʼihi ya, ha enweghị ike ịchọta ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ahụ.
Then they smote the men that were at the doore of the house with blindnes both small and great, so that they were wearie in seeking the doore.
12 Ndị ikom abụọ ahụ gwara Lọt sị, “O nwere onye ọbụla ọzọ i nwere nʼebe a? Ndị ọgọ nwoke, maọbụ ụmụ gị ndị ikom, maọbụ ụmụ gị ndị inyom, na ọ bụ onye ọbụla bụ nke gị nʼobodo a. Site nʼebe a kpọpụ ha!
Then the men said vnto Lot, Whom hast thou yet here? either sonne in lawe, or thy sonnes, or thy daughters, or whatsoeuer thou hast in the citie, bring it out of this place.
13 Nʼihi na anyị na-aga imebi obodo a, mkpu akwa ruru Onyenwe anyị ntị megide ndị bi nʼobodo a adịla ukwuu, nke mere o ji zite anyị ibibi ya.”
For we will destroy this place, because the crye of them is great before the Lord, and the Lord hath sent vs to destroy it.
14 Ya mere, Lọt pụrụ gaa gwa ndị ọgọ ya nwoke, ndị na-akwado ịlụ ụmụ ya ndị inyom, sị ha, “Ọsọ, sinụ nʼobodo a pụọ. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-akwado ibibi ya.” Ma ndị ọgọ ya nwoke ndị a chere na ọ na-egwu egwu.
Then Lot went out and spake vnto his sonnes in lawe, which maried his daughters, and said, Arise, get you out of this place: for the Lord will destroy the citie: but he seemed to his sonnes in lawe as though he had mocked.
15 Nʼụtụtụ, mgbe chi na-abọta, ndị mmụọ ozi a kwagidere Lọt sị ya, “Ọsọ, kpọrọ nwunye gị na ụmụ gị ndị inyom abụọ ndị a site nʼebe a gbapụ, ma ọ bụghị ya, a ga-ekpochapụ unu nʼihi ajọ omume ndị obodo a.”
And when the morning arose, the Angels hasted Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife and thy two daughters which are here, lest thou be destroyed in the punishment of the citie.
16 Mgbe Lọt ka nọ na-eche ihe ọ ga-eme, ndị ikom ahụ jidere ya nʼaka, jidekwa nwunye ya, na ụmụ ya ndị inyom abụọ duru ha pụọ nʼobodo ahụ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nwere obi ebere nʼebe ha nọ.
And as he prolonged the time, the men caught both him and his wife, and his two daughters by the hands (the Lord being mercifull vnto him) and they brought him foorth, and set him without the citie.
17 Mgbe ha si nʼime obodo kpọpụta ha, otu onye nʼime ha gwara ha sị, “Gbalaganụ nʼihi ndụ unu. Unu elekwala anya nʼazụ. Unu akwụsịkwala ebe ọbụla na mbara ala. Gbaganụ nʼugwu, nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na unu emeghị otu a, a ga-ekpochapụ unu.”
And when they had brought them out, the Angel said, Escape for thy life: looke not behinde thee, neither tarie thou in all the plaine: escape into ye mountaine, least thou be destroyed.
18 Ma Lọt sịrị ha, “Mba, ndị nwe m, bikonu,
And Lot saide vnto them, Not so, I pray thee, my Lord.
19 ohu unu achọtala amara nʼihu unu, unu egosila m obi ebere dị ukwuu site nʼichebe ndụ m. Ma agaghị m enwe ike gbalaga nʼugwu ka mbibi a ghara ịdakwasị m, m nwụọ.
Behold now, thy seruant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercie, which thou hast shewed vnto me in sauing my life: and I cannot escape in the mountaine, least some euill take me, and I die.
20 Lee obodo dị nso nke m nwere ike ịgbaga. Ọ bụ obodo dị nta. Kwere ka m gbaga nʼebe ahụ. Obodo nta ka ọ bụ, ọ bụghị ya? Aga m echebekwa ndụ m na ya.”
See nowe this citie hereby to flee vnto, which is a litle one: Oh let me escape thither: is it not a litle one, and my soule shall liue?
21 Ọ zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma, aga m emere gị dịka arịrịọ gị si dị. Agaghị m emebi obodo nta ahụ.
Then he said vnto him, Beholde, I haue receiued thy request also concerning this thing, that I will not ouerthrow this citie, for the which thou hast spoken.
22 Ma mee ngwangwa, nʼihi na o nweghị ihe ọbụla m ga-eme tutu ruo mgbe i ruru nʼebe ahụ.” (Ọ bụ nke a mere e ji akpọ aha obodo ahụ Zoa.)
Haste thee, saue thee there: for I can doe nothing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the citie was called Zoar.
23 Mgbe Lọt rutere obodo Zoa, anwụ awalitela nʼala ahụ.
The sunne did rise vpon the earth, when Lot entred into Zoar.
24 Mgbe ahụ Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼeluigwe zokwasị obodo Sọdọm na Gọmọra nkume ọkụ nke Onyenwe anyị mere ka o si nʼeluigwe zoo.
Then the Lord rained vpon Sodom and vpon Gomorah brimstone, and fire from the Lord out of heauen,
25 Otu a ka o si kwatuo obodo ndị ahụ niile dị na mbara ala ahụ niile, na ndị niile bi nʼobodo ndị ahụ. O kwatukwara ihe niile na-epu nʼala.
And ouerthrewe those cities and all the plaine, and all the inhabitants of the cities; and that that grewe vpon the earth.
26 Ma mgbe nwunye Lọt lere anya nʼazụ, otu mgbe ahụ, ọ ghọrọ ogidi nnu.
Now his wife behind him looked backe, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 Nʼụtụtụ echi ya, Ebraham biliri jeruo ebe ahụ o guzoro nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼụbọchị gara aga.
And Abraham rising vp earely in ye morning went to the place, where he had stand before the Lord,
28 Ọ lepụrụ anya nʼebe obodo Sọdọm na Gọmọra dị, na nʼebe mbara ala ndị ahụ niile dị. Ọ hụrụ anwụrụ ọkụ dị ukwuu nke si nʼala ahụ na-alali elu. Anwụrụ ọkụ a dị ka anwụrụ ọkụ si nʼebe a kwanyere ọkụ na-enwusi ike.
And looking towarde Sodom and Gomorah and toward all the land of the plaine, behold, he sawe the smoke of the lande mounting vp as the smoke of a fornace.
29 Ya mere, mgbe Chineke bibiri obodo ndị ahụ dị na mbara ala, o chetara Ebraham, kpọpụta Lọt site nʼoke mbibi ahụ e bibiri obodo ndị ahụ Lọt bi nʼime ha.
But yet when God destroyed the cities of the plaine, God thought vpon Abraham, and sent Lot out from the middes of the destruction, when he ouerthrewe the cities, wherein Lot dwelled.
30 Emesịa, Lọt na ụmụ ya ndị inyom abụọ hapụrụ obodo Zoa, nʼihi na ọ tụrụ egwu ibi nʼime Zoa. Ọ gara biri nʼime ọgba nkume ya na ụmụ ya ndị inyom abụọ.
Then Lot went vp from Zoar, and dwelt in the mountaine with his two daughters: for he feared to tarie in Zoar, but dwelt in a caue, he, and his two daughters.
31 Otu ụbọchị, ada ya sịrị nke nta, “Nna anyị emeela agadi, ọ nwekwaghị nwoke ọbụla nọ nʼụwa a, onye ga-enye anyị ụmụ, dịka omenaala si dị nʼụwa niile.
And the elder saide vnto the yonger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth, to come in vnto vs after the maner of all ye earth.
32 Ka anyị mee ka nna anyị ṅụọ mmanya, ka anyị na ya dinakọọ, ka anyị chebe agbụrụ anyị site na nna anyị.”
Come, wee will make our father drinke wine, and lie with him, that we may preserue seede of our father.
33 Nʼabalị ahụ, ha mere ka nna ha ṅụọ mmanya, nke ada banyere soro nna ya dina. Ha abụọ nwere mmekọ. Ma ọ amaghị mgbe ada ya dinara maọbụ mgbe o bilikwara.
So they made their father drinke wine that night, and the elder went and lay with her father: but he perceiued not, neither whe she lay downe, neither when she rose vp.
34 Nʼechi ya, ada gwara nwanne ya nke nta, “Mụ na nna anyị dinara nʼabalị gara aga. Ka anyị mee ka ọ ṅụọkwa mmanya nʼabalị taa, ka ị gaakwa ka gị na ya dina. Ka anyị mee ka agbụrụ anyị dịgide site na nna anyị.”
And on the morowe the elder saide to the yonger, Behold, yester night lay I with my father: let vs make him drinke wine this night also, and goe thou and lie with him, that we may preserue seede of our father.
35 Ha mere ka nna ha ṅụọ mmanya nʼabalị ahụ, ada ya nke nta banyere ya na nna ya dinaa. Dịka ọ dịkwa na mbụ, nna ha amataghị mgbe o dinara ala maọbụ mgbe o bilitere.
So they made their father drinke wine that night also, and the yonger arose, and lay with him, but he perceiued not, when she lay downe, neither when she rose vp.
36 Ya mere, ụmụ ndị inyom Lọt abụọ ndị a tụrụ ime site nʼaka nna ha.
Thus were both the daughters of Lot with childe by their father.
37 Nke ada mụtara nwa nwoke onye ọ gụrụ Moab. Ọ bụ ya bụ nna nna ndị Moab ruo taa.
And the elder bare a sonne, and she called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites vnto this day.
38 Nwa ya nke nta mụtakwara nwa nwoke onye ọ gụrụ Ben-Ammi. Ọ bụ ya bụ nna nna ndị Amọn ruo taa.
And the yonger bare a sonne also, and she called his name Ben-ammi: the same is the father of the Ammonites vnto this day.
