創世記 19
1 其二個の天使黄昏にソドムに至るロト時にソドムの門に坐し居たりしがこれを視起て迎へ首を地にさげて
And the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of the city. And seeing them, he rose up and went to meet them: and worshipped prostrate to the ground,
2 言けるは我主よ請ふ僕の家に臨み足を濯ひて宿りつとに起きて途に遄征たまへ彼等言ふ否我等は街衢に宿らんと
And said: I beseech you, my lords, turn in to the house of your servant, and lodge there: wash your feet, and in the morning you shall go on your way. And they said: No, but we will abide in the street.
3 然ど固く強ければ遂に彼の所に臨みて其家に入るロト乃ち彼等のために筵を設け酵いれぬパンを炊て食はしめたり
He pressed them very much to turn in unto him: and when they were come into his house, he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread and they ate:
4 斯て未だ寢ざる前に邑の人々即ちソドムの人老たるも若きも諸共に四方八方より來たれる民皆其家を環み
But before they went to bed, the men of the city beset the house both young and old, all the people together.
5 ロトを呼て之に言けるは今夕爾に就たる人は何處にをるや彼等を我等の所に携へ出せ我等之を知らん
And they called Lot, and said to him: Where are the men that came in to thee at night? bring them out hither that we may know them:
6 ロト入口に出て其後の戸を閉ぢ彼等の所に至りて
Lot went out to them, and shut the door after him, and said:
7 言けるは請ふ兄弟よ惡き事を爲すなかれ
Do not so, I beseech you, my brethren, do not commit this evil.
8 我に未だ男知ぬ二人の女あり請ふ我之を携へ出ん爾等の目に善と見ゆる如く之になせよ唯此人等は既に我家の蔭に入たれば何をも之になすなかれ
I have two daughters who as yet have not known man: I will bring them out to you, and abuse you them as it shall please you, so that you do no evil to these men, because they are come in under the shadow of my roof.
9 彼等曰ふ爾退け又言けるは此人は來り寓れる身なるに恒に士師とならんとす然ば我等彼等に加ふるよりも多くの害を爾に加へんと遂に彼等酷しく其人ロトに逼り前よりて其戸を破んとせしに
But they said: Get thee back thither. And again: Thou camest in, said they, as a, stranger, was it to be a judge? therefore we will afflict thee more than them. And they pressed very violently upon Lot: and they were even at the point of breaking open the doors.
10 彼二人其手を舒しロトを家の内に援いれて其戸を閉ぢ
And behold the men put out their hand, and drew in Lot unto them, and shut the door:
11 家の入口にをる人衆をして大なるも小も倶に目を眩しめければ彼等遂に入口を索ぬるに困憊たり
And them that were without, they struck with blindness from the least to the greatest, so that they could not find the door.
12 斯て二人ロトに言けるは外に爾に屬する者ありや汝の婿子女および凡て邑にをりて爾に屬する者を此所より携へ出べし
And they said to Lot: Hast thou here any of thine? son in law, or sons, or daughters, all that are thine bring them out of this city:
13 此處の號呼ヱホバの前に大になりたるに因て我等之を滅さんとすヱホバ我等を遣はして之を滅さしめたまふ
For we will destroy this place, because their cry is grown loud before the Lord, who hath sent us to destroy them.
14 ロト出て其女を娶る婿等に告て言けるはヱホバが邑を滅したまふべければ爾等起て此處を出よと然ど婿等は之を戲言と視爲り
So Lot went out, and spoke to his sons in law that were to have his daughters, and said: Arise: get you out of this place, because the Lord will destroy this city. And he seemed to them to speak as it were in jest.
15 曉に及て天使ロトを促して言けるは起て此なる爾の妻と二人の女を携へよ恐くは爾邑の惡とともに滅されん
And when it was morning, the angels pressed him, saying: Arise, take thy wife, and the two daughters which thou hast: lest thou also perish in the wickedness of the city.
16 然るに彼遲延ひしかば二人其手と其妻の手と其二人の女の手を執て之を導き出し邑の外に置りヱホバ斯彼に仁慈を加へたまふ
And as he lingered, they took his hand, and the hand of his wife, and of his two daughters, because the Lord spared him.
17 既に之を導き出して其一人曰けるは逃遁て汝の生命を救へ後を回顧るなかれ低地の中に止るなかれ山に遁れよ否ずば爾滅されん
And they brought him forth, and set him without the city: and there they spoke to him, saying: Save thy life: look not back, neither stay thou in all the country about: but save thyself in the mountain, lest thou be also consumed.
18 ロト彼等に言けるはわが主よ請ふ斯したまふなかれ
And Lot said to them: I beseech thee my Lord,
19 視よ僕爾の目のまへに恩を得たり爾大なる仁慈を吾に施してわが生命を救たまふ吾山に遁る能はず恐くは災害身に及びて死るにいたらん
Because thy servant hath found grace before thee, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewn to me, in saving my life, and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil seize me, and I die:
20 視よ此邑は遁ゆくに近くして且小し我をして彼處に遁れしめよしからば吾生命全からん是は小き邑なるにあらずや
There is this city here at hand, to which I may flee, it is a little one, and I shall be saved in it: is it not a little one, and my soul shall live?
21 天使之にいひけるは視よ我此事に關ても亦爾の願を容たれば爾が言ふところの邑を滅さじ
And he said to him: Behold also in this, I have heard thy prayers, not to destroy the city for which thou hast spoken.
22 急ぎて彼處に遁れよ爾が彼處に至るまでは我何事をも爲を得ずと是に因て其邑の名はゾアル（小し）と稱る
Make haste and be saved there, because I cannot do any thing till thou go in thither. Therefore the name of that city was called Segor.
23 ロト、ゾアルに至れる時日地の上に昇れり
The sun was risen upon the earth, and Lot entered into Segor.
24 ヱホバ硫黄と火をヱホバの所より即ち天よりソドムとゴモラに雨しめ
And the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.
25 其邑と低地と其邑の居民および地に生るところの物を盡く滅したまへり
And he destroyed these cities, and all the country about, all the inhabitants of the cities, and all things that spring from the earth.
26 ロトの妻は後を回顧たれば鹽の柱となりぬ
And his wife looking behind her, was turned into a statue of salt.
27 アブラハム其朝夙に起て其嘗てヱホバの前に立たる處に至り
And Abraham got up early in the morning and in the place where he had stood before with the Lord,
28 ソドム、ゴモラおよび低地の全面を望み見るに其地の烟燄窰の烟のごとくに騰上れり
He looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha, and the whole land of that country: and he saw the ashes rise up from the earth as the smoke of a furnace.
29 神低地の邑を滅したまふ時即ちロトの住る邑を滅したまふ時に當り神アブラハムを眷念て斯其滅亡の中よりロトを出したまへり
Now when God destroyed the cities of that country, remembering Abraham, he delivered Lot out of the destruction of the cities wherein he had dwelt.
30 斯てロト、ゾアルに居ることを懼れたれば其二人の女と偕にゾアルを出て上りて山に居り其二人の女子とともに巖穴に住り
And Lot went up out of Segor, and abode in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, (for he was afraid to stay in Segor, ) and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters with him.
31 茲に長女季女にいひけるは我等の父は老いたり又此地には我等に偶て世の道を成す人あらず
And the elder said to the younger Our father is old, and there is no man left on the earth, to come in unto us after the manner of the whole earth.
32 然ば我等父に酒を飮せて與に寢ね父に由て子を得んと
Come, let us make him drunk with wine, and let us lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
33 遂に其夜父に酒を飮せ長女入て其父と與に寢たり然るにロトは女の起臥を知ざりき
And they made their father drink wine that night: and the elder went in and lay with her father: but he perceived not neither when his daughter lay down, nor when she rose up.
34 翌日長女季女に言けるは我昨夜わが父と寢たり我等此夜又父に酒をのません爾入て與に寢よわれらの父に由て子を得ることをえんと
And the next day the elder said to the younger: Behold I lay last night with my father, let us make him drink wine also to night, and thou shalt lie with him, that we may save seed of our father.
35 乃ち其夜も亦父に酒をのませ季女起て父と與に寢たりロトまた女の起臥を知ざりき
They made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in, and lay with him: and neither then did he perceive when she lay down, nor when she rose up.
36 斯ロトの二人の女其父によりて孕みたり
So the two daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
37 長女子を生み其名をモアブと名く即ち今のモアブ人の先祖なり
And the elder bore a son, and she called his name Moab: he is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
38 季女も亦子を生み其名をベニアンミと名く即ち今のアンモニ人の先祖なり
The younger also bore a son, and she called his name Ammon, that is, the son of my people: he is the father of the Ammonites unto this day.
