Kejadian 19
1 Sesudah bertamu pada Abraham, kedua malaikat itu pergi ke Sodom dan tiba di sana pada waktu malam. Lot sedang duduk di pintu gerbang kota, dan setelah melihat mereka, ia bangkit untuk menyambut mereka. Lalu sujudlah ia di hadapan mereka,
And at nightfall the two angels came to Sodom; and Lot was seated at the way into the town: and when he saw them he got up and came before them, falling down on his face to the earth.
2 dan berkata, "Tuan-tuan, silakan singgah di rumah saya. Tuan-tuan dapat membasuh kaki dan bermalam di rumah saya. Besok kalau mau, Tuan-tuan dapat bangun pagi-pagi dan meneruskan perjalanan." Tetapi mereka menjawab, "Terima kasih, biar kami bermalam di sini saja, di lapangan kota."
And he said, My masters, come now into your servant's house and take your rest there for the night, and let your feet be washed; and early in the morning you may go on your way. And they said, Not so, but we will take our night's rest in the street.
3 Lot memohon dengan sangat, dan akhirnya mereka masuk bersama dia ke dalam rumahnya. Lot menyediakan hidangan lezat dan memanggang roti secukupnya, lalu makanlah mereka.
But he made his request more strongly, so they went with him into his house; and he got food ready for them, and made unleavened bread, of which they took.
4 Tetapi sebelum tamu-tamu itu pergi tidur, orang-orang Sodom mengepung rumah itu. Semua orang laki-laki di kota itu, baik yang tua maupun yang muda, ada di situ.
But before they had gone to bed, the men of the town, all the men of Sodom, came round the house, young and old, from every part of the town;
5 Mereka berseru kepada Lot, dan bertanya, "Di mana orang-orang yang datang bermalam di rumahmu? Serahkan mereka, supaya kami dapat bercampur dengan mereka!"
And crying out to Lot, they said, Where are the men who came to your house this night? Send them out to us, so that we may take our pleasure with them.
6 Lot keluar dari rumahnya, dan sesudah menutup pintu,
And Lot went out to them in the doorway, shutting the door after him.
7 ia berkata kepada orang-orang Sodom itu, "Saudara-saudara, saya minta dengan sangat, janganlah melakukan hal yang sejahat itu!
And he said, My brothers, do not this evil.
8 Coba dengar, saya punya dua anak perawan. Biar saya serahkan mereka kepada kalian dan kalian boleh melakukan apa saja dengan mereka. Tetapi jangan apa-apakan tamu-tamu saya ini; sebab saya wajib melindungi mereka."
See now, I have two unmarried daughters; I will send them out to you so that you may do to them whatever seems good to you: only do nothing to these men, for this is why they have come under the shade of my roof.
9 Tetapi kata orang-orang Sodom itu kepada Lot, "Pergi! Engkau orang asing mau mengatur kami? Ayo, pergi! Kalau tidak, engkau akan kami hajar lebih berat daripada kedua orang itu." Lalu mereka mendorong Lot dan menyerbu hendak mendobrak pintu.
And they said, Give way there. This one man, they said, came here from a strange country, and will he now be our judge? now we will do worse to you than to them; and pushing violently against Lot, they came near to get the door broken in.
10 Tetapi kedua tamu itu mengulurkan tangan mereka dan menarik Lot masuk ke dalam rumah, lalu menutup pintu.
But the men put out their hands and took Lot into the house to them, shutting the door again.
11 Mereka membutakan semua orang yang ada di luar rumah itu, sehingga orang-orang itu tidak dapat menemukan pintu itu lagi.
But the men who were outside the door they made blind, all of them, small and great, so that they were tired out with looking for the door.
12 Kedua tamu itu berkata kepada Lot, "Jika engkau mempunyai anak laki-laki, anak perempuan, menantu atau sanak saudara lainnya yang tinggal di dalam kota ini, bawalah mereka keluar dari sini,
Then the men said to Lot, Are there any others of your family here? sons-in-law or sons or daughters, take them all out of this place;
13 sebab kota ini akan kami musnahkan. TUHAN telah mendengar tuduhan-tuduhan berat terhadap penduduk di sini, dan kami telah diutusnya untuk menumpas kota Sodom."
For we are about to send destruction on this place, because a great outcry against them has come to the ears of the Lord; and the Lord has sent us to put an end to the town.
14 Lalu pergilah Lot menemui dua orang tunangan kedua anaknya, dan berkata, "Cepatlah keluar dari tempat ini, sebab TUHAN akan memusnahkannya." Tetapi mereka mengira Lot bergurau saja.
And Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were married to his daughters, Come, let us go out of this place, for the Lord is about to send destruction on the town. But his sons-in-law did not take him seriously.
15 Pada waktu subuh, kedua malaikat itu mendesak Lot supaya lekas berangkat. "Cepatlah," kata mereka. "Pergilah dengan istrimu dan kedua anak gadismu dari sini, supaya kalian jangan mati apabila kota ini dimusnahkan."
And when morning came, the angels did all in their power to make Lot go, saying, Get up quickly and take your wife and your two daughters who are here, and go, for fear that you come to destruction in the punishment of the town.
16 Lot bimbang. Tetapi TUHAN merasa kasihan kepadanya; karena itu kedua tamunya menuntun Lot dan istrinya serta kedua anaknya ke luar kota.
But while he was waiting, the men took him and his wife and his daughters by the hand, for the Lord had mercy on them, and put them outside the town.
17 Sesudah itu seorang dari malaikat itu berkata, "Larilah, selamatkan nyawamu! Jangan menoleh ke belakang dan jangan berhenti di lembah. Larilah ke pegunungan, supaya kalian jangan mati!"
And when they had put them out, he said, Go for your life, without looking back or waiting in the lowland; go quickly to the mountain or you will come to destruction.
18 Tetapi Lot menjawab, "Aduh, Tuan jangan suruh kami lari ke pegunungan.
And Lot said to them, Not so, O my Lord;
19 Memang, Tuan telah sangat menolong saya dan menyelamatkan nyawa saya. Tetapi pegunungan itu begitu jauh; jangan-jangan saya tersusul bencana itu lalu mati sebelum sampai di sana.
See now, your servant has had grace in your eyes and great is your mercy in keeping my life from destruction, but I am not able to get as far as the mountain before evil overtakes me and death;
20 Lihat, di depan itu ada kota kecil yang tidak begitu jauh. Izinkan saya lari ke sana supaya selamat."
This town, now, is near, and it is a little one: O, let me go there (is it not a little one?) so that my life may be safe.
21 Malaikat itu menjawab, "Baiklah, kota kecil itu tak akan kutumpas.
And he said, See, I have given you your request in this one thing more: I will not send destruction on this town.
22 Cepat, larilah! Sebab aku tidak bisa berbuat apa-apa sebelum engkau sampai di sana." Karena Lot menyebut kota itu kecil, maka kota itu dinamakan Zoar.
Go there quickly, for I am not able to do anything till you have come there. For this reason, the town was named Zoar.
23 Matahari sedang terbit ketika Lot sampai di Zoar.
The sun was up when Lot came to Zoar.
24 Tiba-tiba TUHAN menurunkan hujan belerang yang berapi atas Sodom dan Gomora.
Then the Lord sent fire and flaming smoke raining down from heaven on Sodom and Gomorrah.
25 Kedua kota itu dihancurkan, juga seluruh lembah dan semua tumbuh-tumbuhan serta semua penduduk di situ.
And he sent destruction on those towns, with all the lowland and all the people of those towns and every green thing in the land.
26 Tetapi istri Lot menoleh ke belakang, lalu dia berubah menjadi tiang garam.
But Lot's wife, looking back, became a pillar of salt.
27 Keesokan harinya, pagi-pagi, Abraham cepat-cepat pergi ke tempat ia berdiri di hadapan TUHAN sehari sebelumnya.
And Abraham got up early in the morning and went to the place where he had been talking with the Lord:
28 Ia memandang ke arah Sodom dan Gomora dan ke seluruh lembah, dan melihat asap mengepul dari tanah itu, seperti asap dari tungku raksasa.
And looking in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the lowland, he saw the smoke of the land going up like the smoke of an oven.
29 Demikianlah, ketika Allah membinasakan kota-kota itu di lembah di mana Lot tinggal, Allah ingat kepada Abraham dan menolong Lot melarikan diri.
So it came about that when God sent destruction on the towns of the lowland, he kept his word to Abraham, and sent Lot safely away when he put an end to the towns where he was living.
30 Karena Lot takut menetap di Zoar, maka pergilah ia ke pegunungan bersama-sama dengan kedua anaknya perempuan, lalu tinggal di dalam sebuah gua.
Then Lot went up out of Zoar to the mountain, and was living there with his two daughters, for fear kept him from living in Zoar: and he and his daughters made their living-place in a hole in the rock.
31 Anak perempuan yang sulung berkata kepada adiknya, "Ayah sudah tua, dan di seluruh negeri ini tak ada orang laki-laki yang dapat mengawini kita supaya kita mendapat anak.
And the older daughter said to her sister, Our father is old, and there is no man to be a husband to us in the natural way:
32 Mari, kita buat ayah mabuk, lalu kita tidur dengan dia supaya kita mendapat anak."
Come, let us give our father much wine, and we will go into his bed, so that we may have offspring by our father,
33 Pada malam itu mereka memberi ayah mereka minum anggur, lalu anak yang sulung tidur dengan ayahnya; tetapi ayahnya begitu mabuk sehingga tidak tahu apa yang terjadi.
And that night they made their father take much wine; and the older daughter went into his bed; and he had no knowledge of when she went in or when she went away.
34 Keesokan harinya, anak yang sulung berkata kepada adiknya, "Tadi malam saya sudah tidur dengan ayah! Nanti malam kita buat dia mabuk lagi. Lalu tidurlah kau dengan dia. Nanti kita masing-masing mendapat anak."
And on the day after, the older daughter said to the younger, Last night I was with my father; let us make him take much wine this night again, and do you go to him, so that we may have offspring by our father.
35 Demikianlah pada malam itu mereka membuat Lot mabuk, dan anaknya yang kedua tidur dengan dia. Dan Lot terlalu mabuk lagi sehingga tidak tahu apa yang terjadi.
And that night again they made their father take much wine; and the younger daughter went into his bed; and he had no knowledge of when she went in or when she went away.
36 Lalu mengandunglah kedua anak Lot itu karena ayah mereka sendiri.
And so the two daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
37 Anak yang sulung melahirkan anak laki-laki yang dinamakannya Moab. Dia menjadi leluhur orang Moab yang sekarang.
And the older daughter had a son, and she gave him the name Moab: he is the father of the Moabites to this day.
38 Anak yang kedua melahirkan anak laki-laki juga yang dinamakannya Ben-Ami. Dia menjadi leluhur bangsa Amon yang sekarang.
And the younger had a son and gave him the name Ben-ammi: from him come the children of Ammon to this day.
