Génesis 19
1 Vinieron, pues, los dos ángeles a Sodoma a la tarde: y Lot estaba sentado a la puerta de Sodoma: y viéndolos Lot, levantóse a recibirlos, e inclinóse la faz a tierra.
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 Y dijo: He aquí ahora, mis señores, ruégoos que vengáis a casa de vuestro siervo, y dormiréis, y lavaréis vuestros pies: y por la mañana os levantaréis, e iréis vuestro camino. Y ellos respondieron: No, que en la plaza dormiremos.
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 él porfió con ellos mucho, y viniéronse con él, y entraron en su casa, e hízoles banquete, y coció panes sin levadura, y comieron.
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 Y antes que se acostasen, los varones de la ciudad, los varones de Sodoma, cercaron la casa desde el mozo hasta el viejo, todo el pueblo de cabo a cabo.
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 Y llamaron a Lot, y dijéronle: ¿Dónde están los varones que vinieron a ti esta noche? Sácanoslos, para que los conozcamos.
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 Entonces Lot salió a ellos a la puerta, y cerró las puertas tras sí;
Lot went outside the house and shut the door behind him, so that they could not go inside.
7 Y dijo: Hermanos míos, ruégoos que no hagáis mal.
He said to them, “My friends, don’t do such an evil thing!
8 He aquí ahora, yo tengo dos hijas, que no han conocido varón; sacarlas he ahora a vosotros, y hacéd de ellas como bien os parecerá: solamente a estos varones no hagáis nada, porque por eso vinieron a la sombra de mi tejado.
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 Y ellos respondieron: Quita allá. Y dijeron aun: Vino solo para habitar: ¿y juzgará juzgando? Ahora te haremos más mal que a ellos. Y hacían gran violencia al varón, a Lot: y llegáronse para quebrar las puertas.
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 Entonces los varones extendieron su mano, y metieron a Lot consigo en casa, y cerraron las puertas.
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 Y a los varones, que estaban a la puerta de la casa, hirieron con ceguedades, desde el pequeño hasta el grande; mas ellos se fatigaban por hallar la puerta.
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 Y dijeron los varones a Lot: ¿Tienes aun aquí alguno? Yernos, y tus hijos, y tus hijas, y todo lo que tienes en la ciudad, saca de este 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 destruimos este lugar, porque el clamor de ellos se ha engrandecido delante de Jehová; por tanto Jehová nos ha enviado para destruirlo.
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 Entonces salió Lot, y habló a sus yernos, los que habían de tomar sus hijas, y díjoles: Levantáos, salíd de este lugar; porque ha de destruir Jehová esta ciudad: mas fue tenido como burlador en los ojos de sus yernos.
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 Y como el alba subía, los ángeles dieron priesa a Lot, diciendo: Levántate, toma a tu mujer, y tus dos hijas, que se hallan aquí, porque no perezcas en el castigo de la ciudad.
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 Y deteniéndose él, los varones asieron de su mano, y de la mano de su mujer, y de las manos de sus dos hijas, en la misericordia de Jehová que era sobre él: y sacáronle, y pusiéronle fuera de la ciudad.
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 Y fue, que sacándoles fuera, dijo: Escápate: sobre tu alma no mires tras ti, ni pares en toda esta llanura, en el monte escápate, porque no perezcas.
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 Y Lot les dijo: No, yo os ruego, señores míos:
But Lot said to one of the angels, “No, sir, don’t make me do that!
19 He aquí ahora, ha hallado tu siervo gracia en tus ojos, y has engrandecido tu misericordia, que has hecho conmigo, dándome la vida: mas yo no podré escaparme en el monte, que quizá no se me pegue el mal, y muera.
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 He aquí ahora, esta ciudad está cercana para huir allá, la cual es pequeña, escaparme he ahora allí; ¿no es pequeña, y vivirá mi 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 Y respondióle: He aquí, yo he recibido tus ruegos también por esto, para no destruir la ciudad de que has hablado.
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 Dáte priesa, escápate allá; porque no podré hacer nada, hasta que hayas llegado allá. Por esto fue llamado el nombre de la ciudad Segor.
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 El sol salía sobre la tierra, cuando Lot llegó a Segor.
As the sun was rising, Lot and his family arrived in the town which is now called Zoar.
24 Y Jehová llovió sobre Sodoma y sobre Gomorra azufre y fuego de Jehová desde los cielos:
Then Yahweh caused fire and [burning] sulfur to fall down on Sodom and Gomorrah like rain.
25 Y trastornó las ciudades, y toda aquella llanura con todos los moradores de aquellas ciudades, y el fruto de la tierra.
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 Entonces su mujer miró atrás de él, y fue vuelta estatua de sal.
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 Y levantóse Abraham por la mañana al lugar donde había estado delante de Jehová;
That morning, Abraham got up and went to the place where he had stood in front of Yahweh.
28 Y miró hacia Sodoma y Gomorra, y hacia toda la tierra de aquella llanura miró; y he aquí que el humo subía de la tierra, como el humo de un horno.
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 Y fue, que destruyendo Dios las ciudades de la llanura, Dios se acordó de Abraham, y envió a Lot de en medio de la destrucción, destruyendo las ciudades donde Lot estaba.
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 Empero Lot subió de Segor, y asentó en el monte, y sus dos hijas con él; porque tuvo miedo de quedar en Segor, y asentó en una cueva él y sus dos hijas.
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 Entonces la mayor dijo a la menor: Nuestro padre es viejo, y no queda varón en la tierra que entre a nosotras conforme a la costumbre de toda la tierra:
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 Ven, demos a beber vino a nuestro padre, y durmamos con él, y conservaremos de nuestro padre generación.
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 Y dieron a beber vino a su padre aquella noche: y entró la mayor, y durmió con su padre; y él no supo cuando la hija se acostó, ni cuando se levantó.
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 El día siguiente dijo la mayor a la menor: He aquí, yo dormí la noche pasada con mi padre; démosle a beber vino también esta noche, y entra, duerme con él, y conservaremos de nuestro padre generación.
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 Y dieron a beber vino a su padre también aquella noche, y levantóse la menor, y durmió con él; y él no supo cuando la hija se acostó, ni cuando se levantó.
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 Y concibieron las dos hijas de Lot, de su padre.
So Lot caused his two daughters to become pregnant.
37 Y parió la mayor un hijo, y llamó su nombre Moab: el cual es padre de los Moabitas hasta hoy.
The older one later gave birth to a son, whom she named Moab. He became the ancestor of the Moab people-group.
38 La menor también parió un hijo, y llamó su nombre Ben-ammi, el cual es padre de los Ammonitas hasta hoy.
The younger one also gave birth to a son, whom she named Ben-Ammi. He became the ancestor of the Ammon people-group.
