Genesisy 19
1 Dia nankany Sodoma ilay anjely roa nony hariva, raha Lota nipetraka teo am-bavahadin’ i Sodoma; ary raha nahita azy Lota, dia nitsangana mba hitsena azy izy ka niankohoka tamin’ ny tany.
The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening. Lot happened to be sitting at the entrance to Sodom, and when he saw them he stood up to meet them, and bowed low with his face to the ground.
2 Dia hoy izy: Mba mivilia ianareo, tompoko, ho ato an-tranon’ ny mpanomponareo, ka mandria anio alina, ary sasao ny tongotrareo, ary hifoha maraina koa ianareo, dia handeha amin’ izay lalan-kalehanareo. Fa hoy izy roa lahy: Tsia; fa hitoetra eto an-kianja ihany izahay anio alina.
“Sirs, please come and stay with me for the night,” he said. “You can wash your feet and then be on your way early in the morning.” They replied, “No, it's fine. We'll spend the night here in the square.”
3 Ary rehefa noteren’ i Lota fatratra izy roa lahy, dia nivily tany aminy izy ka niditra tao an-tranony; dia nanaovany nahandro izy sy nanendasany mofo tsy misy masirasira, dia nihinana izy.
But Lot insisted, and they went with him to his house. He made them a meal and baked bread for them to eat.
4 Ary raha tsy mbola nandry izy, dia avy manodidina ny trano ny mponina tao an-tanàna Sodoma, hatramin’ ny tanora ka hatramin’ ny antitra, dia ny vahoaka rehetra tao an-tanàna;
But they hadn't even gone to bed before the men of Sodom, young and old, from every part of town, came and surrounded the house.
5 dia niantso an’ i Lota izy ireo ka nanao taminy hoe: Aiza ireo lehilahy vao tonga tato aminao izao alina izao? avoahy ho atỳ aminay izy hahalalanay azy.
They shouted out to Lot, “Where are the men who came to stay with you tonight? Bring them out here to us so we can have sex with them.”
6 Dia nivoaka teo am-baravarana Lota hankeo aminy, ka nakatony ny varavarana teo ivohony;
Lot went out to talk to them in the doorway, closing the door behind him.
7 ary hoy izy: Masìna ianareo, ry rahalahiko, aza manao ratsy.
“My friends, please don't do such an evil thing!
8 Indro, manan-janaka roa vavy aho, izay tsy mbola nahalala lahy; masìna ianareo, aoka re ireo no havoakako ho eto aminareo, ka hataonareo aminy izay sitraponareo; fa ireo lehilahy ireo kosa dia aza anaovanareo na inona na inona; fa tonga hialoka eto ambanin’ ny tafon-tranoko izy.
Listen, I've got two virgin daughters. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do to them whatever you want, but please don't do anything to these men. It's my responsibility to look after them.”
9 Ary hoy izy ireo: Mialà eto ianao. Dia hoy izy ireo indray: Ilehity tonga etỳ hivahiny, kanefa matetika mila hiseho ho mpitsara; ankehitriny dia hanao ratsiratsy kokoa aminao noho ny amin’ ireo lehilahy ireo izahay. Dia nanosika mafy an-dralehilahy izy ireo, dia an’ i Lota, ka nisesika hamaky ny varavarana.
“Out of our way!” they shouted. “Who do you think you are, coming to live here and now trying to judge us? We'll do even worse things to you than we were going to do to these men!” They rushed forward at Lot and tried to break down the door.
10 Fa naninjitra ny tànany izy roa lahy, dia nanintona an’ i Lota hankao an-trano ho ao aminy, ka nakatony ny varavarana.
But the men inside reached out and grabbed Lot, dragged him inside, and slammed the door shut.
11 Dia nampanjambena ny mason’ ny lehilahy izay teo am-baravaran’ ny trano izy hatramin’ ny kely ka hatramin’ ny lehibe; ka dia sasa-poana nitady ny varavarana ireo.
Then they made all the men in the doorway, young and old, suddenly go blind so they couldn't find the door.
12 Ary hoy izy roa lahy tamin’ i Lota: Mbola manana ato koa va ianao? dia izay vinantonao-lahy sy ny zanakao-lahy sy ny zanakao-vavy, ary na zovy na zovy anananao ato an-tanàna, ento miala amin’ ity tanàna ity;
The two men asked Lot, “Is there anyone else here who's part of your family—sons-in-law, or sons or daughters, or anyone else in the town? If there are, make sure they leave,
13 fa horavanay ity tanàna ity, satria efa lehibe ny fitarainany eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; ka dia naniraka anay Jehovah handrava azy.
because we are about to destroy this place. The complaints that have reached the Lord about its people have become so bad that he has sent us to destroy it.”
14 Dia nivoaka Lota ary niteny tamin’ ny vinantony, izay efa hanambady ny zananivavy, ka nanao hoe: Miaingà, miala amin’ ity tanàna ity; fa horavan’ i Jehovah ity tanàna ity. Fa nataon’ ny vinantony ho tahaka ny mpanao vazivazy izy.
Lot went immediately to speak to the men who were engaged to marry his daughters. “Get up quickly and leave,” he said, “because the Lord is about to destroy the town!” But they thought it was just a joke.
15 Ary nony maraina koa ny andro, dia nandodona an’ i Lota ireo anjely ka nanao hoe: Miaingà, ento ny vadinao sy ny zanakao roa vavy izay eto, fandrao mba haringana ianao noho ny heloky ny tanàna.
At dawn, the angels begged Lot to be quick, telling him, “Hurry up! Leave right now with your wife and your two daughters here, otherwise you'll be wiped out when the city is punished.”
16 Ary nony nitaredretra izy, dia notantanan’ izy roa lahy izy sy ny vadiny ary ny zanany roa vavy noho ny famindram-pon’ i Jehovah taminy; dia nitondra azy nivoaka izy roa lahy ka nandao azy tany ivelan’ ny tanàna.
But Lot hesitated. The men grabbed his hand, and those of his wife and two daughters, and dragged them along, leaving them outside the town. The Lord was kind to them to do this.
17 Ary rehefa nitondra azy nivoaka tany ivelany izy, dia hoy ny anankiray: Mandosira hamonjy ny ainao; aza miherika ianao, na mijanona eny amin’ ny tany lemaka rehetra; mandosira any an-tendrombohitra, fandrao haringana ianao.
As soon as they were outside, one of the men said, “Run for your lives! Don't look back, and don't stop anywhere in the valley! Run to the mountains otherwise you'll be destroyed!”
18 Ary hoy Lota taminy: Aza an’ izany, Tompo ô!
“Please sir, not that!” Lot replied.
19 indro, fa efa nahita fitia teo imasonao ny mpanomponao, ary efa nahalehibe ny famindram-ponao ianao, izay nataonao tamiko hamonjenao ny aiko; ary tsy afa-mandositra any an-tendrombohitra aho, fandrao hahatratra ahy ny loza, ka ho faty aho;
“If you don't mind, since you have already been so kind to me by saving my life, don't make me run to the mountains—I just can't make it. The destruction will overtake me and I'll die!
20 indro, io vohitra io dia akaiky handosirana sady kely; masìna ianao, aoka handositra ao aho (tsy kely va izy io?), dia ho velona ny aiko.
Look, there's a town nearby that's close enough to run to, and it's so small. Please let me run there—it's really very small. It would save my life.”
21 Ary hoy izy taminy: Indro, efa nekeko koa ianao tamin’ izany zavatra izany, ka tsy horavako io vohitra nolazainao io.
“Fine—I'll do as you ask,” he replied. “I won't destroy this town you've mentioned.
22 Mandehana faingana, mandosira ho ao; fa tsy mahazo manao na inona na inona aho mandra-pahatonganao ao. Izany no nanaovana ny anaran’ ny tanàna hoe Zoara.
But hurry up and run there quickly, because I can't do anything until you get there.” (This is why the town was called Zoar.)
23 Ary ny masoandro efa niposaka tamin’ ny tany, raha tonga tao Zoara Lota.
The sun had already risen by the time Lot reached Zoar.
24 Ary Jehovah nandatsaka tamin’ i Sodoma sy Gomora solifara sy afo, avy tamin’ i Jehovah tany an-danitra,
Then the Lord rained down fire and burning sulfur from the sky on Sodom and Gomorrah.
25 ka nandrava ireny tanàna ireny sy ny tany lemaka rehetra sy ny mponina rehetra tao an-tanàna ary ny zava-maniry teo amin’ ny tany.
He completely destroyed the towns and all their inhabitants, the whole valley and everything growing there.
26 Fa ny vadin’ i Lota niherika teo ivohony, dia tonga vongan-tsira mitsangana izy.
But Lot's wife, who was lagging behind, looked back, and she turned into a pillar of salt.
27 Dia nifoha maraina koa Abrahama ka nankany amin’ ilay efa nijanonany teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah;
Abraham got up early the next morning and went back to where he had stood before the Lord.
28 ary nitsinjo an’ i Sodoma sy Gomora sy ny tany lemaka rehetra izy, dia nahita, ka, indro, niakatra ny setroky ny tany tahaka ny setroky ny lafaoro lehibe.
He looked down at Sodom and Gomorrah and the whole valley floor, and saw the land burning, sending up smoke like from a furnace.
29 Ary raha noravan’ Andriamanitra ny tanàna tany amin’ ny tany lemaka, dia nahatsiaro an’ i Abrahama Andriamanitra ka namoaka an’ i Lota hiala teo afovoan’ ny horavana, tamin’ ny nandravany ny tanàna izay nonenan’ i Lota.
When God destroyed the towns of the valley he didn't forget the promise he made Abraham, and he saved Lot from the destruction of the towns where Lot was living.
30 Dia niakatra Lota avy tao Zoara ka nitoetra tany an-tendrombohitra, dia izy sy ny zanany roa vavy; fa natahotra hitoetra tao Zoara izy; dia nitoetra tao an-johy izy sy ny zanany roa vavy.
Lot was afraid to stay in Zoar, so he left town and went to live in a cave in the mountains with his two daughters.
31 Ary hoy ny vavimatoa tamin’ ny zandriny: Efa antitra izao raintsika, ary tsy misy lehilahy ambonin’ ny tany hanambady antsika araka ny fanaon’ ny tany rehetra;
Sometime later the older daughter said to the younger one, “Our father is growing old, and there's no men left to give us children like everyone does.
32 andeha hampisotrointsika divay ny raintsika dia handry aminy isika hananantsika fara avy amin’ ny raintsika.
Come on, let's get our father drunk with wine and sleep with him so we can keep his family line going.”
33 Dia nampisotroiny divay ny rainy tamin’ iny alina iny dia niditra ny vavimatoa ka nandry tamin-drainy; ary izy tsy nahafantatra izay nandriany na izay nifohazany.
So they got their father drunk with wine that night. The older daughter went and slept with him, and he didn't notice when she lay down or when she got up.
34 Ary nony ampitson’ iny dia hoy ny vavimatoa tamin’ ny zandriny: Indro, efa nandry tamin’ ny raintsika aho halina; aoka hampisotrointsika divay indray izy anio alina, dia midìra ianao ka mandria aminy hananantsika fara avy amin’ ny raintsika.
The next day the older daughter said to the younger one, “Last night I slept with our father. Let's get him drunk with wine again tonight and you can go and sleep with him so we can keep his family line going.”
35 Dia nampisotroiny divay indray ny rainy tamin’ iny alina iny; dia nitsangana ilay zandriny ka nandry taminy; ary izy tsy nahafantatra izay nandriany, na izay nifohazany.
So once again that night they got their father drunk with wine and the younger daughter went and slept with him, and he didn't notice when she lay down or when she got up.
36 Dia samy nanan’ anaka tamin-drainao ny zanak’ i Lota roa vavy.
This is how both Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father.
37 Dia niteraka zazalahy ny vavimatoa, ka ny anarany nataony hoe Moaba; izy no rain’ ny Moabita mandraka androany.
The older daughter had a son, and she called him Moab. He is the ancestor of the Moabites of today.
38 Ary ny zandriny koa dia niteraka zazalahy ary ny anarany nataony hoe Benamy; izy kosa no rain’ ny taranak’ i Amona mandraka androany.
The younger daughter had a son too, and she called him Ben-ammi. He is the ancestor of the Ammonites of today.
