Gênesis 19
1 Chegaram, pois, os dois anjos a Sodoma ao cair da tarde; e Ló estava sentado à porta de Sodoma. E vendo-os Ló, levantou-se a recebê-los, e inclinou-se até o chão;
That evening, the two angels arrived in Sodom. Lot was sitting at the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to greet them, and prostrated himself with his face on the ground.
2 E disse: Agora, pois, meus senhores, vos rogo que venhais à casa de vosso servo e vos hospedeis, e lavareis vossos pés: e pela manhã vos levantareis, e seguireis vosso caminho. E eles responderam: Não, que na praça nos ficaremos esta noite.
He said to them, “Gentlemen, please stay in my house tonight. You can wash your feet, and tomorrow you can continue your journey.” But they said, “No, we will just sleep in the city square.”
3 Mas ele insistiu com eles muito, e se vieram com ele, e entraram em sua casa; e fez-lhes banquete, e cozeu pães sem levedura e comeram.
But Lot kept insisting strongly that they sleep in his house. So they entered his house with him, and he prepared a meal for them. He baked some bread without yeast, and they ate it.
4 E antes que se deitassem, cercaram a casa os homens da cidade, os homens de Sodoma, todo o povo junto, desde o mais jovem até o mais velho;
After they finished eating, before they went to bed, the men of Sodom [city], all of them, from the young ones to the old ones, surrounded the house.
5 E chamaram a Ló, e lhe disseram: Onde estão os homens que vieram a ti esta noite? tira-os a nós, para que os conheçamos.
They called out to Lot, saying, “Where are the men who came to your house this evening? Bring them out, so that we can have sex with them!” [EUP]
6 Então Ló saiu a eles à porta, e fechou as portas atrás de si,
Lot went outside the house and shut the door behind him, so that they could not go inside.
7 E disse: Eu vos rogo, meus irmãos, que não façais tal maldade.
He said to them, “My friends, don’t do such an evil thing!
8 Eis aqui agora eu tenho duas filhas que não conheceram homem; eu as tirarei fora para vós, e fazei delas como bem vos parecer: somente a estes homens não façais nada, pois que vieram à sombra de meu telhado.
Listen to me. I have two daughters who have never had sex with any man. Let me bring them out to you now, and you can do with them whatever pleases you. But don’t do anything to these men, because they are guests in my house, [so I must protect them]!”
9 E eles responderam: Sai daí: e acrescentaram: Veio este aqui para habitar como um estrangeiro, e haverá de levantar-se como juiz? Agora te faremos mais mal que a eles. E faziam grande violência ao homem, a Ló, e se aproximaram para romper as portas.
But they replied, “Get out of our way! You are a foreigner; so you have no right to tell us what is right! [If you don’t get out of our way], we will do worse things to you than we will do to them!” Then they lunged towards Lot, and tried forcefully to break down the door.
10 Então os homens estenderam a mão, e meteram a Ló em casa com eles, e fecharam as portas.
But the two angels opened the door carefully, reached out their hands, and pulled Lot to them inside the house. Then they quickly shut the door.
11 E aos homens que estavam à porta da casa desde o menor até o maior, feriram com cegueira; mas eles se cansavam tentando achar a porta.
Then they caused all the men who were outside the door of the house, young and old, to become blind, so that they could not find the door.
12 E disseram os homens a Ló: Tens aqui alguém mais? Genros, e teus filhos e tuas filhas, e tudo o que tens na cidade, tira-o deste lugar:
Then the two angels said to Lot, “Who else is with you here? If you have sons or sons-in-law or daughters or anyone else in the city who is related to you, take them out of the city,
13 Porque vamos destruir este lugar, porquanto o clamor deles subiu demais diante do SENHOR; portanto o SENHOR nos enviou para destruí-lo.
because we are the ones who are going to destroy this place. Yahweh considers that these people are so evil that he sent us to destroy the city.”
14 Então saiu Ló, e falou a seus genros, os que haviam de se casar com suas filhas, e lhes disse: Levantai-vos, saí deste lugar; porque o SENHOR vai destruir esta cidade. Mas pareceu a seus genros como que se ridicularizava.
So Lot went and spoke to the men who had pledged to marry his daughters. He said to them, “Hurry! Get out of this city, because Yahweh is about to destroy it!” But his future sons-in-law thought he was joking.
15 E ao raiar a alva, os anjos davam pressa a Ló, dizendo: Levanta-te, toma tua mulher, e teus dois filhas que se acham aqui, para que não pereças no castigo da cidade.
As it was about to dawn the next morning, the two angels urged Lot, saying, “Get up quickly! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here with you and leave! If you don’t, you will die when [we destroy/Yahweh destroys] the city!”
16 E demorando-se ele, os homens pegaram por sua mão, e pela mão de sua mulher, e pelas mãos de suas duas filhas segundo a misericórdia do SENHOR para com ele; e o tiraram, e o puseram fora da cidade.
When Lot hesitated, the angels grasped his hand and his wife’s hand and the hands of his two daughters. They led them outside the city safely. The angels did that because Yahweh was acting mercifully toward them.
17 E foi que quando os tirou fora, disse: Escapa por tua vida; não olhes atrás de ti, nem pares toda esta planície; escapa ao monte, não seja que pereças.
When they were outside the city, one of the angels said, “[If you want to remain alive], run away quickly! Don’t look back! And don’t stop anywhere in the valley! Flee to the hills! If you don’t, you will die!”
18 E Ló lhes disse: Não, eu vos rogo, senhores meus;
But Lot said to one of the angels, “No, sir, don’t make me do that!
19 Eis que agora achou teu servo favor em teus olhos, e engrandeceste tua misericórdia que fizeste comigo dando-me a vida; mas eu não poderei escapar ao monte, não seja caso que me alcance o mal e morra.
Please, listen. You have been pleased with me and have been very kind to me and spared my life. But I cannot flee to the mountain. If I try to do that, I will die in this disaster [PRS].
20 Eis que agora esta cidade está próxima para fugir ali, a qual é pequena; escaparei agora ali, (não é ela pequena?) e viverá minha alma.
But listen to me. There is a town nearby. Let me run to that small town. Let me go there now. It is a small town, but our lives will be saved if we go there.”
21 E lhe respondeu: Eis que recebi também tua súplica sobre isto, e não destruirei a cidade de que falaste.
One of the angels said to Lot, “I will allow you to do what you have requested [MTY]. I will not destroy the little town you are speaking about.
22 Apressa-te, escapa-te ali; porque nada poderei fazer até que ali tenhas chegado. Por isto foi chamado o nome da cidade, Zoar.
But hurry! Run there, because I cannot destroy anything until you arrive there.” People later called the name of the town Zoar [which means ‘small’, ] because Lot said it was small.
23 O sol saía sobre a terra, quando Ló chegou a Zoar.
As the sun was rising, Lot and his family arrived in the town which is now called Zoar.
24 Então choveu o SENHOR sobre Sodoma e sobre Gomorra enxofre e fogo da parte do SENHOR desde os céus;
Then Yahweh caused fire and [burning] sulfur to fall down on Sodom and Gomorrah like rain.
25 E destruiu as cidades, e toda aquela planície, com todos os moradores daquelas cidades, e o fruto da terra.
In that way, he destroyed those cities and all the people who were living in those cities. He also destroyed everything in the valley, including all the plants/vegetation.
26 Então a mulher de Ló olhou atrás, às costas dele, e se tornou estátua de sai.
But Lot’s wife stopped and looked back [to see what was happening], so she died, and her body [later] became a pillar of salt.
27 E subiu Abraão pela manhã ao lugar onde havia estado diante do SENHOR:
That morning, Abraham got up and went to the place where he had stood in front of Yahweh.
28 E olhou até Sodoma e Gomorra, e até toda a terra daquela planície olhou; e eis que a fumaça subia da terra como a fumaça de um forno.
He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and he [was surprised to] see that all over the valley, smoke was rising, like the smoke of a huge furnace.
29 Assim foi que, quando destruiu Deus as cidades da planície, lembrou-se Deus de Abraão, e enviou fora a Ló do meio da destruição, ao assolar as cidades onde Ló estava.
So, when God destroyed those cities in the valley, he remembered what he had promised Abraham, and he rescued Lot from the disaster that occurred in the cities where Lot had lived.
30 Porém Ló subiu de Zoar, e assentou no monte, e suas duas filhas com ele; porque teve medo de ficar em Zoar, e se abrigou em uma caverna ele e suas duas filhas.
Lot was afraid to stay in Zoar, so he left there and moved with his two daughters to the mountain, and they lived in a cave.
31 Então a maior disse à menor: Nosso pai é velho, e não resta homem na terra que entre a nós conforme o costume de toda a terra:
One day the older daughter said to (the younger daughter/her sister), “Our father is old, and there is no man in this area who can have sex [EUP] with us, as people all over the earth do.
32 Vem, demos a beber vinho a nosso pai, e durmamos com ele, e conservaremos de nosso pai geração.
Let’s make our father drink wine until he gets drunk. Then we can have sex with him [EUP] [without him knowing it]. In that way [he will cause us to become pregnant] and we can bear children.”
33 E deram a beber vinho a seu pai aquela noite: e entrou a maior, e dormiu com seu pai; mas ele não sentiu quando se deitou com ela nem quando se levantou.
So that night they caused their father to become drunk. And the older daughter went in and lay in bed with her father, and he had sex with her, but he was so drunk that he did not know when she lay down with him or when she got up.
34 O dia seguinte disse a maior à menor: Eis que eu dormi a noite passada com meu pai; demos a ele de beber vinho também esta noite, e entra e dorme com ele, para que conservemos de nosso pai geração.
The next day, his older daughter said to (his younger daughter/her sister), “Listen to me. Last night I slept with our father. Let’s cause him to become drunk again tonight! This time you can go and sleep with him. If he has sex with you, you can become pregnant, and that way you can have a child, too.”
35 E deram a beber vinho a seu pai também aquela noite: e levantou-se a menor, e dormiu com ele; mas não conseguiu perceber quando se deitou com ela, nem quando se levantou.
So that night, they caused their father to become drunk with wine again, and then his younger daughter went and slept with him. But again, he was so drunk that he did not know when she lay down with him or when she got up.
36 E conceberam as duas filhas de Ló, de seu pai.
So Lot caused his two daughters to become pregnant.
37 E deu à luz a maior um filho, e chamou seu nome Moabe, o qual é pai dos moabitas até hoje.
The older one later gave birth to a son, whom she named Moab. He became the ancestor of the Moab people-group.
38 A menor também deu à luz um filho, e chamou seu nome Ben-Ami, o qual é pai dos amonitas até hoje.
The younger one also gave birth to a son, whom she named Ben-Ammi. He became the ancestor of the Ammon people-group.
