Olubereberye 19
1 Bamalayika ababiri ne batuuka mu Sodomu akawungeezi; Lutti yali atudde mu mulyango gwa Sodomu. Lutti bwe yabalaba n’agolokoka okubasisinkana, n’avuunama,
And two of the messengers come toward Sodom at evening, and Lot is sitting at the gate of Sodom, and Lot sees, and rises to meet them, and bows himself—face to the earth,
2 n’agamba nti, “Bakama bange mukyame mu nnyumba y’omuddu wammwe munaabe ku bigere, mbegayiridde n’okusula musule. Munaazuukuka mangu ku makya ne mukwata ekkubo lyammwe.” Ne bagamba nti, “Nedda tunaasula mu luguudo.”
and he says, “Now behold, my lords, please turn aside to the house of your servant, and lodge, and wash your feet—then you have risen early and gone on your way”; and they say, “No, but we lodge in the broad place.”
3 Naye n’abawaliriza nnyo; awo ne bakyama ne bajja gy’ali ne bayingira mu nnyumba ye, n’abategekera ekijjulo n’emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse ne balya.
And he presses on them greatly, and they turn aside to him, and come into his house; and he makes a banquet for them, and has baked unleavened things; and they eat.
4 Naye nga tebannaba kugenda kwebaka, abasajja ab’omu kibuga, abasajja ba Sodomu, abakulu n’abato, abantu bonna ne beetooloola ennyumba;
Before they lie down, the men of the city—men of Sodom—have surrounded the house, from young even to aged, all the people from the extremity;
5 ne bayita Lutti nga bagamba nti, “Abasajja abazze gy’oli ekiro kino bali ludda wa? Batufulumize twebake nabo.”
and they call to Lot and say to him, “Where [are] the men who have come to you tonight? Bring them out to us, and we know them.”
6 Lutti n’afuluma gye bali, n’aggalawo oluggi,
And Lot goes out to them, to the opening, and the door has shut behind him,
7 n’abagamba nti, “Baganda bange mbasaba temukola kibi kifaanana bwe kityo.
and says, “Please, my brothers, do not do evil;
8 Laba, nnina bawala bange embeerera babiri, ka mbabafulumize, mubakole kye mwagala; naye temubaako kye mukola basajja bano, bagenyi bange era nze mbalabirira.”
now behold, I have two daughters who have not known anyone; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them as [is] good in your eyes; only do nothing to these men, for therefore they have come in within the shadow of my roof.”
9 Naye ne bamugamba nti, “Tuviire! Omusajja omugwira ono, ate kati y’atulagira eky’okukola! Nedda, tujja kukukolako n’okusinga abagenyi bo.” Awo ne banyigiriza nnyo Lutti, era kaabula kata bamenye n’oluggi.
And they say, “Come near here”; they also say, “This one has come to sojourn, and he certainly judges! Now, we do evil to you more than [to] them”; and they press against the man, against Lot greatly, and come near to break the door.
10 Naye abasajja ababiri abaali mu nnyumba ne bagolola emikono gyabwe ne bakwata Lutti ne bamuyingiza mu nnyumba ne baggalawo oluggi.
And the men put forth their hand, and bring in Lot to them, into the house, and have shut the door;
11 Ne baziba amaaso g’abasajja abaali ebweru ku luggi lw’ennyumba, abato n’abakulu, ne bakoowa nga bawammanta oluggi.
and the men who [are] at the opening of the house they have struck with blindness, from small even to great, and they weary themselves to find the opening.
12 Awo abasajja bali ababiri ne babuuza Lutti nti, “Olina abantu bo abalala wano, batabani bo, oba bakoddomi bo, oba bawala bo, oba omuntu omulala yenna mu kibuga? Bafulumye mu kifo kino;
And the men say to Lot, “Whom have you here still? Son-in-law, your sons also, and your daughters, and all whom you have in the city, bring out from this place;
13 kubanga tuli kumpi okukizikiriza. Kubanga okukaaba olw’abantu baamu eri Mukama kuyitiridde, era atutumye okukizikiriza.”
for we are destroying this place, for their cry has been great [before] the face of YHWH, and YHWH does send us to destroy it.”
14 Awo Lutti n’afuluma n’ategeeza bakoddomi be abaali ab’okuwasa bawala be ng’agamba nti, “Musituke, muve mu kifo kino, kubanga Mukama ali kumpi kukizikiriza.” Naye yafaanana ng’abalaata eri bakoddomi be. Lutti n’ab’ennyumba ye ne badduka.
And Lot goes out and speaks to his sons-in-law, those taking his daughters, and says, “Rise, go out from this place, for YHWH is destroying the city”; and he is as [one] mocking in the eyes of his sons-in-law.
15 Naye obudde bwe bwali bunaatera okukya, bamalayika ne balagira Lutti nga bagamba nti, “Golokoka, otwale mukazi wo ne bawala bo ababiri abali wano muleme okuzikirira ng’ekibuga kibonerezebwa.”
And when the dawn has ascended, then the messengers press on Lot, saying, “Rise, take your wife, and your two daughters who are found present, lest you are consumed in the iniquity of the city.”
16 Naye bwe yali akyekunya, abasajja ne bamukwata omukono, n’emikono gya mukazi we, n’emikono gy’abawala be bombi, Mukama ng’abakwatirwa ekisa, ne babafulumya ne babateeka ebweru w’ekibuga.
And he lingers, and the men lay hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters, through the mercy of YHWH to him, and they bring him out, and cause him to rest outside the city.
17 Bwe baabafulumya ne babagamba nti, “Mudduke muwonye obulamu bwammwe, temutunula mabega wadde okuyimirira mu kiwonvu; muddukire ku nsozi, muleme okuzikirizibwa.”
And it comes to pass, when he has brought them outside, that he says, “Escape for your life; do not look behind you, nor stand in all the circuit; escape to the mountain, lest you are consumed.”
18 Awo Lutti n’abagamba nti, “Nedda bakama bange;
And Lot says to them, “Oh not [so], my lord;
19 Laba, omuddu wammwe alabye ekisa mu maaso gammwe, era mundaze ekisa kingi nga muwonya obulamu bwange; naye siyinza kuddukira ku nsozi akabi tekalwa kunzingiza ne nfa.
now behold, your servant has found grace in your eyes, and you make great your kindness which you have done with me by saving my life, and I am unable to escape to the mountain, lest the evil cleave [to] me and I have died;
20 Laba, ekibuga kiri ekitono ekiri okumpi, kirungi okuddukira omwo. Leka nzirukire eyo. Era n’obulamu bwange bujja kuwona!”
now behold, this city [is] near to flee there, and it [is] little; please let me escape there (is it not little?) that my soul may live.”
21 N’amuddamu nti, “Laba, era nnyongedde okukukwatirwa ekisa, sijja kumalawo kibuga ky’oyogeddeko.
And he says to him, “Behold, I have also accepted your face for this thing, without overthrowing the city [for] which you have spoken;
22 Yanguwa tolwa, ddukira eyo; kubanga siriiko kye nnaakola nga tonnatuuka eyo.” Erinnya ly’ekibuga kyeryava liba Zowaali.
hurry, escape there, for I am not able to do anything until your entering there”; therefore he calls the name of the city Zoar.
23 Lutti we yatuukira mu Zowaali enjuba yali evuddeyo, Sodomu ne Ggomola ne bizikirizibwa.
The sun has gone out on the earth, and Lot has entered into Zoar,
24 Awo Mukama n’atonnyesa ku Sodomu ne Ggomola omuliro n’obuganga okuva mu ggulu;
and YHWH has rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah brimstone and fire from YHWH, from the heavens;
25 n’azikiriza ebibuga ebyo, n’ekiwonvu kyonna n’abantu bonna abaali mu bibuga, ne buli kintu ekyalimu.
and He overthrows these cities, and all the circuit, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which is shooting up from the ground.
26 Naye mukazi wa Lutti bwe yatunula emabega, n’afuuka empagi ey’omunnyo.
And his wife looks from behind him, and she becomes a pillar of salt!
27 Awo ku makya ennyo Ibulayimu n’agenda mu kifo mwe yayimiririra mu maaso ga Mukama;
And Abraham rises early in the morning to the place where he has stood [before] the face of YHWH;
28 n’atunula wansi okwolekera Sodomu ne Ggomola n’okwolekera ekitundu kyonna eky’olusenyi, n’alaba, era laba, ekitundu kyonna nga kijjudde omukka.
and he looks on the face of Sodom and Gomorrah, and on all the face of the land of the circuit, and sees, and behold, the smoke of the land went up as smoke of the furnace.
29 Bwe kityo bwe kyali Katonda bwe yazikiriza ebibuga eby’omu kiwonvu. Katonda n’ajjukira Ibulayimu n’afulumya Lutti ebweru n’amuggya wakati mu kuzikirizibwa, bwe yazikiriza ebibuga Lutti mwe yabeeranga.
And it comes to pass, in God’s destroying the cities of the circuit, that God remembers Abraham, and sends Lot out of the midst of the overthrow in the overthrowing of the cities in which Lot dwelt.
30 Awo Lutti n’ava mu Zowaali, n’abeera mu nsozi wamu ne bawala be, kubanga yatya okubeera mu Zowaali. Ye ne bawala be ne babeera mu mpuku.
And Lot goes up out of Zoar, and dwells in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, for he has been afraid of dwelling in Zoar, and he dwells in a cave, he and his two daughters.
31 Olunaku lumu omuwala omukulu n’agamba muto we nti, “Kitaffe akaddiye era tewali na musajja ku nsi ajja kutwagala ng’empisa y’ensi bw’eri.
And the firstborn says to the younger, “Our father [is] old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us, as [is] the way of all the earth;
32 Jjangu tunywese kitaffe omwenge, tulyoke twebake naye, tusobole okufuna ezzadde nga liva mu kitaffe.”
come, we cause our father to drink wine, and lie with him, and preserve a seed from our father.”
33 Ne batamiiza kitaabwe ekiro ekyo, omukulu n’agenda ne yeebaka ne kitaawe, Lutti n’atamanya bwe yeebaka yadde bwe yagolokoka.
And they cause their father to drink wine on that night; and the firstborn goes in and lies with her father, and he has not known in her lying down or in her rising up.
34 Ku lunaku olwaddirira, omuwala omukulu n’agamba omuto nti, “Laba, ekiro neebase ne kitange; Leka tumunywese omwenge ekiro kino, oyingire gy’ali weebake naye, tulyoke tusobole okukuuma ezzadde mu kitaffe.”
And it comes to pass, on the next day, that the firstborn says to the younger, “Behold, I have lain with my father last night: we also cause him to drink wine tonight, then go in, lie with him, and we preserve a seed from our father.”
35 Awo ne batamiiza kitaabwe ekiro ekyo, omuwala omuto n’asituka ne yeebaka naye, Lutti n’atamanya bwe yeebase ne bw’agolokose.
And they cause their father to drink wine on that night also, and the younger rises and lies with him, and he has not known in her lying down or in her rising up.
36 Bwe batyo bawala ba Lutti bombi buli omu n’aba olubuto nga lwa kitaabwe.
And the two daughters of Lot conceive from their father,
37 Omuwala omukulu n’azaala omwana wabulenzi n’amutuuma Mowaabu, ye jjajja w’Abamowaabu abaliwo kaakano.
and the firstborn bears a son and calls his name Moab: he [is] father of Moab to this day.
38 Omuto naye n’azaala omwana mulenzi n’amutuuma Benami, ye yavaamu Abamoni abaliwo ne kaakano.
As for the younger, she has also born a son and calls his name Ben-Ammi: he [is] father of the sons of Ammon to this day.
