Uumama 19
1 Ergamoonni Waaqayyoo sun lamaan galgala sana Sodoom gaʼan; Looxis karra Sodoomii dura taaʼaa ture. Innis yeroo jara argetti, isaan simachuuf kaʼee isaanitti deeme; gad jedhees adda isaatiin lafatti gombifame.
And the two agents came to Sodom at evening, and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. And Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them. And he bowed himself with his face to the earth,
2 Innis, “Yaa gooftota ko, maaloo mana garbicha keessaniitti goraatii miilla dhiqadhaa bulaa; barii barraaqaan kaatanii karaa keessan itti fufuu dandeessu” jedhe. Isaan immoo, “Hin taʼu; nu waltajjii karaa irra bullaa” jedhaniin.
and he said, Behold now, my lords, turn aside, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your way. And they said, No, but we will abide in the street all night.
3 Inni garuu akka malee isaan dirqisiise; kanaafuu goranii mana isaa seenan; innis maxinoo tolchee nyaata qopheesseef; isaanis ni nyaatan.
And he urged them greatly. And they turned in to him, and entered into his house. And he made a feast for them, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
4 Utuu isaan hin rafin namoonni kutaalee magaalaa Sodoom hunda keessaa dhufan hundi dargaggoonnii fi jaarsoliin mana sana marsan.
But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, encompassed the house around, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.
5 Isaanis Looxin waamanii, “Namoonni galgala kana gara kee dhufan eessa jiru? Akka nu isaan wajjin ciifnuuf gad nuu yaasi” jedhan.
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 Looxis jara sanatti gad baʼee balbala of duubaan cufe;
And Lot went out to them to the door, and shut the door after him.
7 Akkanas jedhe; “Yaa obboloota ko, waan hamaa kana hin hojjetinaa!
And he said, I pray you, my brothers, do not so wickedly.
8 Kunoo ani intallan lama kanneen takkumaa dhiira wajjin hin ciisin qaba. Lamaanuu gad isinii nan baasa; isinis waan feetan isaan gochuu dandeessu. Namoota kanneen garuu waan isaan bantii mana koo jala jiraniif homaa isaan hin godhinaa.”
Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known a man. Let me, I pray you, bring them out to you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes. Only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the shadow of my roof.
9 Isaanis, “Badi asii!” jedhaniin. Ittuma fufaniis, “Namichi kun nama ormaa kan nu keessa jiraachuu dhufee dha; amma immoo abbaa murtii nutti taʼuu fedha! Nu waan hamaa jara irratti hojjennu caalaa sirratti hojjenna” jedhaniin. Isaanis Looxin humnaan dhiibanii balbala sana cabsuu gaʼan.
And they said, Stand back. And they said, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will be a judge. Now we will deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed greatly upon the man, even Lot, and drew near to break the door.
10 Namoonni sunis hiixatanii Looxin harkisanii manatti ol deebisan; balbalichas ni cufan.
But the men put forth their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
11 Ergasii immoo namoota balbala manaa dura turan sana akka isaan balbalicha hin argineef xinnaa fi guddaa isaanii dhaʼichaan ija jaamsan.
And they smote the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
12 Namoonni lamaan sun Looxiin akkana jedhan; “Ati nama biraa tokko illee jechuunis soddoota, ilmaan yookaan intallan yookaan nama kan kee taʼe tokko illee magaalaa kana keessaa qabdaa? Asi keessa isaan baafadhu;
And the men said to Lot, Have thou here any besides? Son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whomever thou have in the city, bring them out of the place.
13 nu iddoo kana balleessuuf deemnaatii. Sababii iyyi saba ishee irratti iyyame fuula Waaqayyoo duratti guddaa taʼeef, Waaqni akka nu ishee balleessinuuf nu ergeera.”
For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them has been great before Jehovah. And Jehovah has sent us to destroy it.
14 Kanaafuu Loox gad baʼee soddoota isaa warra intallan isaa fuudhuuf jiraniin, “Sababii Waaqayyo magaalaa kana balleessuuf kaʼeef, dafaatii asii baʼaa!” jedhe. Soddoonni isaa garuu waan inni qoosu seʼan.
And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place, for Jehovah will destroy the city. But he seemed to his sons-in-law as a man jesting.
15 Yeroo boruun diimatetti ergamoonni Waaqayyoo sun Looxin jarjarsanii, “Niitii keetii fi intallan kee lamaan as jiran fudhadhuutii dafii baʼi! Yoo kanaa achii yeroo magaalattiin adabamtutti atis ni baddaa” jedhaniin.
And when the morning arose, then the agents hurried Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters who are here, lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
16 Inni garuu duubatti harkifate; waan Waaqayyo isaaniif garaa laafeef namoonni sun harka isaatii fi harka niitii isaa, intallan isaa lamaanis harka qabanii magaalattii keessaa isaan baasan.
But he lingered. And the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters, Jehovah being merciful to him, and they brought him forth, and set him outside the city.
17 Akkuma gad isaan baasaniinis ergamoota sana keessaa inni tokko, “Lubbuu kee oolfachuuf baqadhu! Of duuba hin milʼatin! Dirree irra iddoo tokko illee hin dhaabatin! Tulluuwwanitti ol baqadhu; yoo kanaa achii ni baddaa!” jedhe.
And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life, do not look behind thee, neither stay thou in all the Plain. Escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
18 Loox garuu akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Yaa gooftota ko, maaloo akkas miti!
And Lot said to them, Oh, not so, my lord.
19 Kunoo garbichi kee fuula kee duratti fudhatama argateera; ati lubbuu koo oolchitee gara laafina guddaa na argisiifteerta. Ani garuu gara tulluutti ol baqachuu hin dandaʼu; balaan kun na argata; anis nan duʼa.
Behold now, thy servant has found favor in thy sight, and thou have magnified thy loving kindness, which thou have shown to me in saving my life, and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die.
20 Kunoo, magaalaan itti baqachuun dandaʼamu tokko as dhiʼoo jirti; isheen xinnoo dha. Ani gara isheetti nan baqadha; isheen baayʼee xinnoo dha mitii? Akkasitti lubbuun koo ni baraaramti.”
Behold now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (is it not a little one?), and my soul shall live.
21 Ergamaan sunis akkana jedheen; “Kunoo, ani kadhaa kana siif nan dhagaʼa; magaalaa ati waaʼee ishee dubbattu kana ani hin balleessu.
And he said to him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which thou have spoken.
22 Garuu sababii ani hamma ati achi geessutti homaa gochuu hin dandeenyeef dafii achitti baqadhu!” Wanni magaalaan sun Zoʼaar jedhamteefis kanuma.
Hasten thee, escape there, for I cannot do anything till thou have come there. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23 Yeroo Loox Zoʼaar gaʼetti aduun baatee turte.
The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
24 Waaqayyo samiiwwan keessaa Waaqayyo biraa, dinyii bobaʼu Sodoomii fi Gomoraa irratti roobse.
Then Jehovah rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah out of heaven.
25 Innis akkasiin magaalaawwan kanneenii fi dirreewwan sana guutuu, warra magaalaawwan sana keessa jiraatan hundaa fi biqiltuu biyya sanaa balleesse.
And he overthrew those cities, and all the Plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26 Niitiin Looxi garuu of duuba ilaaltee utubaa soogiddaa taatee hafte.
But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 Abrahaamis guyyaa itti aanu ganama obboroon kaʼee iddoo duraan fuula Waaqayyoo dura dhaabachaa ture sanatti deebiʼe.
And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Jehovah.
28 Innis gara magaalaawwan Sodoomii fi Gomoraa, gara lafa dirree sanaa hundaas ilaalee aara akka aara boolla ibiddaa keessaa baʼuu tokko isaa biyya sana keessaa ol kaʼu arge.
And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the Plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.
29 Waaqni yeroo magaalaawwan dirree sanaa balleessetti Abrahaamin yaadate; kanaafuu yommuu magaalaawwan Loox keessa jiraachaa ture balleessetti Looxin balaa sana keessaa baase.
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 Loox waan Zoʼaar keessa jiraachuu sodaateef intallan isaa lamaan wajjin Zoʼaarii baʼee gaarran irra qubate. Innis intallan isaa lamaan wajjin holqa tokko keessa jiraate.
And Lot went up out of 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 Gaaf tokko intalli isaa isheen hangafti ishee quxisuudhaan akkana jette; “Abbaan keenya dulloomeera; akka bartee lafa hunda irra jiruutti dhiirri nu wajjin ciisu tokko iyyuu naannoo kan hin jiru.
And the firstborn 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 Kottu mee abbaa keenya daadhii wayinii obaasnee isa wajjin ciifnaa; akkasiin sanyiin abbaa keenyaa lafa irratti akka hafu goona.”
Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed by our father.
33 Isaanis halkan sana abbaa isaanii daadhii wayinii obaasan; intalli isheen hangafti ol seentee isa wajjin ciifte. Inni yeroo isheen ciiste yookaan yeroo isheen kaate hin beekne.
And they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. And he did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34 Guyyaa itti aanutti intalli hangafti ishee quxisuudhaan akkana jette; “Kunoo ani eda abbaa koo wajjin ciiseera. Kottu edanas daadhii wayinii isa obaasnaa; atis ol seenii isa wajjin ciisi; akkasitti sanyiin abbaa keenyaa akka hafu goona.”
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said to the younger, Behold, I lay last night 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 by our father.
35 Isaan halkan sanas abbaa isaanii daadhii wayinii obaasan; intalli quxisuun dhaqxee isa wajjin ciiste. Inni ammas yeroo isheen ciiste yookaan yeroo isheen kaate hin beekne.
And they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose, and lay with him. And he did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
36 Akkasiin intallan Loox lamaanuu abbaa isaaniitiif ulfaaʼan.
Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
37 Intalli isheen hangafti ilma deessee maqaa isaa Moʼaab jettee moggaafte. Inni abbaa Moʼaabota harʼaa ti.
And the firstborn bore a son, and called his name Moab. The same is the father of the Moabites to this day.
38 Intalli isheen quxisuunis ilma deessee maqaa isaa Ben-Amii jettee moggaafte; inni immoo abbaa Amoonota harʼaa ti.
And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi. The same is the father of the sons of Ammon to this day.
