< Kejadian 19 >
1 Kedua malaikat itu tiba di Sodom pada waktu petang. Lot sedang duduk di pintu gerbang Sodom dan ketika melihat mereka, bangunlah ia menyongsong mereka, lalu sujud dengan mukanya sampai ke tanah,
And the two Angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting at the gate of the city. And when he had seen them, he rose up and went to meet them. And he reverenced prone on the ground.
2 serta berkata: "Tuan-tuan, silakanlah singgah ke rumah hambamu ini, bermalamlah di sini dan basuhlah kakimu, maka besok pagi tuan-tuan boleh melanjutkan perjalanannya." Jawab mereka: "Tidak, kami akan bermalam di tanah lapang."
And he said: “I beg you, my lords, turn aside to the house of your servant, and lodge there. Wash your feet, and in the morning you will advance on your way.” And they said, “Not at all. But we will lodge in the street.”
3 Tetapi karena ia sangat mendesak mereka, singgahlah mereka dan masuk ke dalam rumahnya, kemudian ia menyediakan hidangan bagi mereka, ia membakar roti yang tidak beragi, lalu mereka makan.
He pressed them very much to turn aside to him. And when they had entered his house, he made a feast for them, and he cooked unleavened bread, and they ate.
4 Tetapi sebelum mereka tidur, orang-orang lelaki dari kota Sodom itu, dari yang muda sampai yang tua, bahkan seluruh kota, tidak ada yang terkecuali, datang mengepung rumah itu.
But before they went to bed, the men of the city surrounded the house, from boys to old men, all the people together.
5 Mereka berseru kepada Lot: "Di manakah orang-orang yang datang kepadamu malam ini? Bawalah mereka keluar kepada kami, supaya kami pakai mereka."
And they called out to Lot, and they said to him: “Where are the men who entered to you in the night? Bring them out here, so that we may know them.”
6 Lalu keluarlah Lot menemui mereka, ke depan pintu, tetapi pintu ditutupnya di belakangnya,
Lot went out to them, and blocking the door behind him, he said:
7 dan ia berkata: "Saudara-saudaraku, janganlah kiranya berbuat jahat.
“Do not, I ask you, my brothers, do not be willing to commit this evil.
8 Kamu tahu, aku mempunyai dua orang anak perempuan yang belum pernah dijamah laki-laki, baiklah mereka kubawa ke luar kepadamu; perbuatlah kepada mereka seperti yang kamu pandang baik; hanya jangan kamu apa-apakan orang-orang ini, sebab mereka memang datang untuk berlindung di dalam rumahku."
I have two daughters who as yet have not known man. I will bring them out to you; abuse them as it pleases you, provided that you do no evil to these men, because they have entered under the shadow of my roof.”
9 Tetapi mereka berkata: "Enyahlah!" Lagi kata mereka: "Orang ini datang ke sini sebagai orang asing dan dia mau menjadi hakim atas kita! Sekarang kami akan menganiaya engkau lebih dari pada kedua orang itu!" Lalu mereka mendesak orang itu, yaitu Lot, dengan keras, dan mereka mendekat untuk mendobrak pintu.
But they said, “Move away from there.” And again: “You have entered,” they said, “as a stranger; should you then judge? Therefore, we will afflict you yourself more than them.” And they acted very violently against Lot. And they were now at the point of breaking open the doors.
10 Tetapi kedua orang itu mengulurkan tangannya, menarik Lot masuk ke dalam rumah, lalu menutup pintu.
And behold, the men put out their hand, and they pulled Lot in to them, and they closed the door.
11 Dan mereka membutakan mata orang-orang yang di depan pintu rumah itu, dari yang kecil sampai yang besar, sehingga percumalah orang-orang itu mencari-cari pintu.
And they struck those who were outside with blindness, from the least to the greatest, so that they were not able to find the door.
12 Lalu kedua orang itu berkata kepada Lot: "Siapakah kaummu yang ada di sini lagi? Menantu atau anakmu laki-laki, anakmu perempuan, atau siapa saja kaummu di kota ini, bawalah mereka keluar dari tempat ini,
Then they said to Lot: “Do you have here anyone of yours? All who are yours, sons-in-law, or sons, or daughters, bring them out of this city.
13 sebab kami akan memusnahkan tempat ini, karena banyak keluh kesah orang tentang kota ini di hadapan TUHAN; sebab itulah TUHAN mengutus kami untuk memusnahkannya."
For we will eliminate this place, because the outcry among them has increased before the Lord, who sent us to destroy them.”
14 Keluarlah Lot, lalu berbicara dengan kedua bakal menantunya, yang akan kawin dengan kedua anaknya perempuan, katanya: "Bangunlah, keluarlah dari tempat ini, sebab TUHAN akan memusnahkan kota ini." Tetapi ia dipandang oleh kedua bakal menantunya itu sebagai orang yang berolok-olok saja.
And so Lot, going out, spoke to his sons-in-law, who were going to receive his daughters, and he said: “Rise up. Depart from this place. For the Lord will destroy this city.” And it seemed to them that he was speaking playfully.
15 Ketika fajar telah menyingsing, kedua malaikat itu mendesak Lot, supaya bersegera, katanya: "Bangunlah, bawalah isterimu dan kedua anakmu yang ada di sini, supaya engkau jangan mati lenyap karena kedurjanaan kota ini."
And when it was morning, the Angels compelled him, saying, “Arise, take your wife, and the two daughters that you have, lest you also should perish amid the wickedness of the city.”
16 Ketika ia berlambat-lambat, maka tangannya, tangan isteri dan tangan kedua anaknya dipegang oleh kedua orang itu, sebab TUHAN hendak mengasihani dia; lalu kedua orang itu menuntunnya ke luar kota dan melepaskannya di sana.
And, since he ignored them, they took his hand, and the hand of his wife, as well as that of his two daughters, because the Lord was sparing him.
17 Sesudah kedua orang itu menuntun mereka sampai ke luar, berkatalah seorang: "Larilah, selamatkanlah nyawamu; janganlah menoleh ke belakang, dan janganlah berhenti di manapun juga di Lembah Yordan, larilah ke pegunungan, supaya engkau jangan mati lenyap."
And they brought him out, and placed him beyond the city. And there they spoke to him, saying: “Save your life. Do not look back. Neither should you stay in the entire surrounding region. But save yourself in the mountain, lest you also should perish.”
18 Kata Lot kepada mereka: "Janganlah kiranya demikian, tuanku.
And Lot said to them: “I beg you, my lord,
19 Sungguhlah hambamu ini telah dikaruniai belas kasihan di hadapanmu, dan tuanku telah berbuat kemurahan besar kepadaku dengan memelihara hidupku, tetapi jika aku harus lari ke pegunungan, pastilah aku akan tersusul oleh bencana itu, sehingga matilah aku.
though your servant has found grace before you, and you have magnified your mercy, which you have shown to me in saving my life, I cannot be saved on the mountain, lest perhaps some misfortune take hold of me and I die.
20 Sungguhlah kota yang di sana itu cukup dekat kiranya untuk lari ke sana; kota itu kecil; izinkanlah kiranya aku lari ke sana. Bukankah kota itu kecil? Jika demikian, nyawaku akan terpelihara."
There is a certain city nearby, to which I can flee; it is a little one, and I will be saved in it. Is it not a modest one, and will not my soul live?”
21 Sahut malaikat itu kepadanya: "Baiklah, dalam hal inipun permintaanmu akan kuterima dengan baik; yakni kota yang telah kau sebut itu tidak akan kutunggangbalikkan.
And he said to him: “Behold, even now, I have heard your petitions about this, not to overturn the city on behalf of which you have spoken.
22 Cepatlah, larilah ke sana, sebab aku tidak dapat berbuat apa-apa, sebelum engkau sampai ke sana." Itulah sebabnya nama kota itu disebut Zoar.
Hurry and be saved there. For I cannot do anything until you enter there.” For this reason, the name of that city is called Zoar.
23 Matahari telah terbit menyinari bumi, ketika Lot tiba di Zoar.
The sun had risen over the land, and Lot had entered into Zoar.
24 Kemudian TUHAN menurunkan hujan belerang dan api atas Sodom dan Gomora, berasal dari TUHAN, dari langit;
Therefore, the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah sulphur and fire, from the Lord, out of heaven.
25 dan ditunggangbalikkan-Nyalah kota-kota itu dan Lembah Yordan dan semua penduduk kota-kota serta tumbuh-tumbuhan di tanah.
And he overturned these cities, and all the surrounding region: all the inhabitants of the cities, and everything that springs from the land.
26 Tetapi isteri Lot, yang berjalan mengikutnya, menoleh ke belakang, lalu menjadi tiang garam.
And his wife, looking behind herself, was turned into a statue of salt.
27 Ketika Abraham pagi-pagi pergi ke tempat ia berdiri di hadapan TUHAN itu,
Then Abraham, rising up in the morning, in the place where he had stood before with the Lord,
28 dan memandang ke arah Sodom dan Gomora serta ke seluruh tanah Lembah Yordan, maka dilihatnyalah asap dari bumi membubung ke atas sebagai asap dari dapur peleburan.
looked out toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and the entire land of that region. And he saw embers rising up from the land like smoke from a furnace.
29 Demikianlah pada waktu Allah memusnahkan kota-kota di Lembah Yordan dan menunggangbalikkan kota-kota kediaman Lot, maka Allah ingat kepada Abraham, lalu dikeluarkan-Nyalah Lot dari tengah-tengah tempat yang ditunggangbalikkan itu.
For when God overthrew the cities of that region, remembering Abraham, he freed Lot from the overthrow of the cities, in which he had dwelt.
30 Pergilah Lot dari Zoar dan ia menetap bersama-sama dengan kedua anaknya perempuan di pegunungan, sebab ia tidak berani tinggal di Zoar, maka diamlah ia dalam suatu gua beserta kedua anaknya.
And Lot ascended from Zoar, and he stayed on the mountain, and likewise his two daughters with him, (for he was afraid to stay in Zoar) and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters with him.
31 Kata kakaknya kepada adiknya: "Ayah kita telah tua, dan tidak ada laki-laki di negeri ini yang dapat menghampiri kita, seperti kebiasaan seluruh bumi.
And the elder said to the younger: “Our father is old, and no man remains in the land who can enter to us according to the custom of the whole world.
32 Marilah kita beri ayah kita minum anggur, lalu kita tidur dengan dia, supaya kita menyambung keturunan dari ayah kita."
Come, let us inebriate him with wine, and let us sleep with him, so that we may be able to preserve offspring from our father.”
33 Pada malam itu mereka memberi ayah mereka minum anggur, lalu masuklah yang lebih tua untuk tidur dengan ayahnya; dan ayahnya itu tidak mengetahui ketika anaknya itu tidur dan ketika ia bangun.
And so they gave their father wine to drink that night. And the elder went in, and she slept with her father. But he did not perceive it, neither when his daughter lay down, nor when she rose up.
34 Keesokan harinya berkatalah kakaknya kepada adiknya: "Tadi malam aku telah tidur dengan ayah; baiklah malam ini juga kita beri dia minum anggur; masuklah engkau untuk tidur dengan dia, supaya kita menyambung keturunan dari ayah kita."
Likewise, the next day, the elder said to the younger: “Behold, yesterday I slept with my father, let us give him wine to drink yet again this night, and you will sleep with him, so that we may save offspring from our father.”
35 Demikianlah juga pada malam itu mereka memberi ayah mereka minum anggur, lalu bangunlah yang lebih muda untuk tidur dengan ayahnya; dan ayahnya itu tidak mengetahui ketika anaknya itu tidur dan ketika ia bangun.
And then they gave their father wine to drink that night also, and the younger daughter went in, and slept with him. And not even then did he perceive when she lay down, or when she rose up.
36 Lalu mengandunglah kedua anak Lot itu dari ayah mereka.
Therefore, the two daughters of Lot conceived by their father.
37 Yang lebih tua melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, dan menamainya Moab; dialah bapa orang Moab yang sekarang.
And the elder gave birth to a son, and she called his name Moab. He is the father of the Moabites, even to the present day.
38 Yang lebih mudapun melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, dan menamainya Ben-Ami; dialah bapa bani Amon yang sekarang.
Likewise, the younger gave birth to a son, and she called his name Ammon, that is, ‘the son of my people.’ He is the father of the Ammonites, even today.
