उत्पत्ति 19
1 साँझमा लोत सदोमको मूल ढोकामा बसिरहेका बेला दुई स्वर्गदूतहरू सदोममा आए । उनीहरूलाई देखेपछि लोत भेट गर्न उठे, र आफ्नो मुहारलाई भुइँसम्मै निहुराएर दण्डवत् गरे ।
And there came two angels to Sodom at evening; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom; and Lot seeing [them], rose to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face towards the ground;
2 तिनले भने “मेरा मालिक, म बिन्ती गर्दछु, कि आफ्नो दासको घरभित्र आउनुहोस्, आजको रात यहीँ बिताउनुहोस्, र आफ्ना पाउ धुनुहोस् । त्यसपछि बिहान सबेरै उठेर तपाईंहरू आफ्नो बाटो लाग्न सक्नुहुन्छ ।” उनीहरूले जवाफ दिए, “होइन, हामी सहरको चोकमा नै रात बिताउनेछौँ ।
And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
3 तर तिनले उनीहरूलाई ज्यादै आग्रह गरे, त्यसैकारण उनीहरू तिनीसँगै घरभित्र प्रवेश गरे । तिनले भोजनमा खमिर नराखेको रोटी तयार गरे, र उनीहरूले खाए ।
And he urged them greatly; and they turned in to him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
4 तर उनीहरू सुत्नअगि सदोम सहरका सबै युवा र जवान, र सहरका सबै भागबाट सबै मानिसहरू आएर त्यस घरलाई घेरे ।
But before they lay down, the men of the city, [even] the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
5 तिनीहरूले लोतलाई बोलाएर भने, “साँझ तिमीकहाँ आएका मानिसहरू कहाँ छन्? उनीहरूलाई बाहिर हामीकहाँ ल्याऊ, ताकि हामी तिनीहरूसँग सुत्न सकौँ ।”
And they called to Lot, and said to him, Where [are] the men who came in to thee this night? bring them out to us, that we may know them.
6 यसैकारण लोत ढोकाबाट बाहिर मानिसहरूकहाँ निस्के र आफू निस्केपछि ढोका थुनिदिए ।
And Lot went out at the door to them, and shut the door after him,
7 तिनले भने, “मेरा भाइहरू, म बिन्ती गर्दछु, यस्तो दुष्ट काम नगर्नुहोस् ।
And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
8 हेर्नुहोस्, मेरा दुई छोरी छन् जो कुनै मानिससँग सुतेका छैनन् । म बिन्ती गर्दछु, मेरा छोरीहरूलाई तपाईंहरूकहाँ ल्याउन दिनुहोस्, र तपाईंहरूको नजरमा जे असल लाग्छ तिनीहरूसँग त्यही गर्नुहोस् । केवल यी मानिसहरूलाई केही नगर्नुहोस्, किनभने उनीहरू मेरो छतको छायामुनि आएका पाहुना हुन् ।”
Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out to you, and do ye to them as [is] good in your eyes: only to these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
9 तिनीहरूले भने, “पछि हट्!” तिनीहरूले यसो पनि भने, “यो यहाँ परदेशी भएर बस्न आएको थियो, र अहिले हाम्रो न्यायकर्ता भएको छ! अब हामी तिनीहरूलाई भन्दा तँलाई नराम्रो व्यवहार गर्नेछौँ ।” तिनीहरूले ती मानिसहरू र लोतको विरुद्धमा दबाब दिए, र ढोका भत्काउनको निम्ति नजिक आए ।
And they said, Stand back. And they said [again], This one [man] came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: Now will we deal worse with thee than with them. And they pressed hard upon the man, Lot, and came near to break the door.
10 तर ती मानिसहरूले आफ्ना हात निकालेर लोतलाई तिनीहरूसँगै घरभित्र ताने र ढोका बन्द गरिदिए ।
But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
11 त्यसपछि लोतका पाहुनाहरूले घरको ढोकाबाहिर भएका मानिसहरू, जवान र वृद्ध दुवैलाई प्रहार गरी अन्धा बनाइदिए, र तिनीहरू ढोका खोज्ने प्रयास गर्दा-गर्दै थाके ।
And they smote the men that [were] at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
12 त्यसपछि ती मानिसहरूले लोतलाई भने, “के तिमीकहाँ अरू कोही छन्? जुवाइँ, छोराहरू, छोरीहरू, र यस सहरमा तिम्रा जो कोही छन्, सबैलाई यस सहरबाट बाहिर लैजाऊ ।
And the men said to Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatever thou hast in the city, bring [them] out of this place:
13 किनभने हामीले यो ठाउँलाई नष्ट गर्न लागेका छौँ, किनभने परमप्रभुको अगि यस सहरको विरुद्धमा दोषहरू यति ठुला भएका छन्, कि उहाँले हामीलाई यस सहरलाई नष्ट पार्न पठाउनुभएको छ ।”
For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them has become great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
14 लोत बाहिर गए, र तिनले आफ्ना छोरीहरूलाई विवाह गर्न प्रतिज्ञा गरेका जुवाइँहरूसँग यसो भने, “छिट्टै, यस ठाउँबाट निस्किहाल, किनभने परमप्रभुले यस सहरलाई नष्ट पार्न लाग्नुभएको छ ।” तर तिनका जुवाइँहरूलाई तिनले ठट्टा गरेझैँ लाग्यो ।
And Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who married his daughters, and said, Arise, depart from this place; for the LORD will destroy this city: but he seemed to his sons-in-law as one that mocked.
15 जब झिसमिसे बिहान भयो, ती स्वर्गदूतहरूले लोतलाई यसो भने, “जाऊ, यहाँ भएका तिम्री पत्नी र तिम्रा छोरीहरूलाई लैजाऊ, र यस सहरको दण्डमा तिमी नष्ट हुनेछैनौ ।”
And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters who are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
16 तर तिनले अलमल गर्न थाले । त्यसैकारण ती मानिसहरूले लोत, तिनकी पत्नी, र तिनका दुई छोरीका हातहरू समाते, किनभने परमप्रभु तिनीप्रति दयालु हुनुहुन्थ्यो । उनीहरूले तिनीहरू सबैलाई बाहिर निकाले, र सहरबाहिर पठाए ।
And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters: the LORD being merciful to him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
17 जब उनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर निकाले, ती मानिसहरूमध्ये एकजनाले भने, “आफ्नो प्राण बचाउनको निम्ति भाग! पछाडि फर्की नहेर, वा कतै समतल ठाउँमा नबस । पहाडहरूतिर भाग र तिमीहरू नष्ट हुनेछैनौ ।”
And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life: look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain: escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
18 लोतले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “होइन, मेरा मालिकहरू!
And Lot said to them, Oh, not so, my Lord!
19 तपाईंका दृष्टिमा तपाईंको दासले कृपा पाएको छ, र मेरो प्राण बचाउनको निम्ति ममाथि तपाईंहरूले ठुलो दया देखाउनुभएको छ, तर म पहाडहरूतिर भाग्न सक्दिनँ, किनभने ममाथि विपत्ति आइलाग्नेछ र म मर्नेछु ।
Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shown to me in saving my life: and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil should take me, and I die:
20 हेर्नुहोस्, त्यहाँको सहर भाग्नको निम्ति नजिक छ, र त्यो सानो पनि छ । कृपया, मलाई त्यहाँ भाग्न दिनुहोस् (के त्यो सानोचाहिँ होइन र?), र मेरो जीवन बच्नेछ ।”
Behold now, this city is near to flee to, and it [is] a small one: Oh, let me escape thither! ([Is] it not a small one?) and my soul shall live.
21 उनले तिनलाई भने, “ठिक छ, म तिम्रो यो अनुरोध पनि पुरा गर्नेछु र तिमीले उल्लेख गरेको त्यस सहर म नष्ट गर्दिनँ ।
And he said to him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for which thou hast spoken.
22 छिटो गर! त्यहाँ भाग, किनभने तिमी त्यहाँ नपुगेसम्म म केही गर्न सक्दिनँ ।” यसैकारण त्यस सहरलाई सोअर भनियो ।
Haste thee, escape thither: for I cannot do any thing till thou hast come thither: therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23 लोत सोहर पुग्दा घाम उदाइसकेको थियो ।
The sun had risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
24 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले सदोम र गमोरामाथि आकाशबाट गन्धक र आगो बर्साउनुभयो ।
Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
25 उहाँले ती सहरहरू, सबै समतल भूमि, र ती सहरहरूका बासिन्दाहरू, र भूमिमा उब्जेका सबै बिरुवाहरूलाई नष्ट पार्नुभयो ।
And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26 तर लोतकी पत्नीले पछाडि फर्केर हेरिन्, जो तिनको पछि-पछि थिइन्, र तिनी नुनको ढिक्का बनिन् ।
But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 अब्राहाम बिहान सबेरै उठे र तिनी परमप्रभुको सामु उभिएको ठाउँमा गए ।
And Abraham rose early in the morning, to the place were he stood before the LORD:
28 उनले सदोम र गमोरातर्फ र सबै समतल भूमिमा हेरे । उनले त्यस भूमिबाट भट्टीको धुवाँझैँ माथितिर धुवाँ आइरहेको देखे ।
And he looked towards Sodom and Gomorrah, and towards all the land of the plain, and beheld, and lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
29 परमेश्वरले समतल भूमिका सहरहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नुभएपछि, उहाँले अब्राहामलाई सम्झनुभयो । उहाँले लोतले बसोबास गरेका सहरहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नुहुँदा, लोतलाई त्यस विनाशको माझबाट बाहिर निकाल्नुभयो ।
And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt.
30 तर लोत आफ्ना दुई छोरीसँग सोअरबाट पहाडहरूमा बसोबास गर्न गए, किनभने तिनी सोअरमा बस्न डराए । यसैकारण, तिनी र तिनका दुई छोरीहरू एउटा गुफामा बसे ।
And Lot went up from Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he, and his two daughters.
31 जेठीले कान्छीलाई भनिन्, “हाम्रा बुबा वृद्ध भएका छन्, र सारा संसारको रीतिअनुसार हामीसँग सुत्ने कहीँ पनि कोही मानिस छैन ।
And the first-born said to the younger, Our father [is] old, and [there is] not a man on the earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth:
32 आऊ, हाम्रो बुबालाई मद्य पिउन लगाऔँ, अनि हाम्रो बुबाको वंशलाई बिस्तार गर्न हामी उहाँसँग सुतौँ ।”
Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
33 यसैकारण त्यस रात तिनीहरूले आफ्ना बुबालाई मद्य पिउन लगाए । त्यसपछि जेठीचाहिँ भित्र गइन् र आफ्ना बुबासँग सुतिन्; तिनी कहिले सुतिन् र कहिले उठिन् भन्ने उनलाई पत्तो नै भएन ।
And they made their father drink wine that night: and the first-born went in and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34 अर्को दिन जेठीले कान्छीलाई भनिन्, “सुन, गएको रात म मेरो बुबासँग सुतेँ । आजको रातमा पनि उहाँलाई मद्य पिउन लगाऔँ, र हाम्रो बुबाको वंश विस्तार गर्नको निम्ति तिमी गएर उहाँसँग सुत ।”
And it came to pass on the morrow that the first born said to the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father; let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, [and] lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
35 यसैकारण, तिनीहरूले आफ्ना बुबालाई त्यस रात पनि मद्य पिउन लगाए, र कान्छीचाहिँ गएर उनीसँग सुतिन् । तिनी कहिले सुतिन् र कहिले उठिन् भन्ने उनलाई पत्तो नै भएन ।
And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
36 यसरी लोतका दुवै छोरीहरू आफ्ना बुबाबाट गर्भवती भइन् ।
Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
37 जेठीले एउटा छोरो जन्माइन्, र त्यसको नाउँ मोआब राखिन् । वर्तमान समयका मोआबीहरूका पुर्खा उनी नै हुन् ।
And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab: the same [is] the father of the Moabites to this day.
38 कान्छी छोरीले पनि एउटा छोरा जन्माइन्, र त्यसको नाउँ बेन-अमी राखिन् । वर्तमान समयका अम्मोनीहरूका पुर्खा उनी नै हुन् ।
And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi: the same [is] the father of the children of Ammon to this day.
