Mwanzo 19
1 Malaika wale wawili wakafika Sodoma wakati wa jioni, naye Loti alikuwa ameketi kwenye lango la mji. Wakati alipowaona, aliondoka kwenda kuwalaki na kuwasujudia hadi chini.
And they came [the] two the angels Sodom towards in the evening and Lot [was] sitting in [the] gate of Sodom and he saw [them] Lot and he arose to meet them and he bowed down face [the] ground towards.
2 Akasema, “Bwana zangu, tafadhali karibuni kwenye nyumba ya mtumishi wenu. Mnaweza kunawa miguu na kulala hapa kisha asubuhi na mapema mwendelee na safari yenu.” Wakamjibu, “La hasha, tutalala hapa nje uwanjani.”
And he said here! please O lords my turn aside please to [the] house of servant your and stay [the] night and wash feet your and you will rise early (and you will go *LAH(b)*) to way your and they said In-deed in the open place we will stay [the] night.
3 Lakini akasisitiza kwa nguvu kwamba waingie pamoja naye nyumbani kwake. Akawaandalia chakula, mikate isiyotiwa chachu, nao wakala.
And he urged them exceedingly and they turned aside to him and they went into house his and he prepared for them a feast and unleavened bread he baked and they ate.
4 Kabla hawajaenda kulala, watu wote kutoka kila sehemu ya mji wa Sodoma, vijana kwa wazee, waliizunguka nyumba.
Before they lay down and [the] men of the city [the] men of Sodom they surrounded the house from young man and unto old [man] all the people from [the] end.
5 Wakamwita Loti wakisema, “Wako wapi wale watu ambao walikuja kwako jioni hii? Watoe nje kwetu ili tuweze kuwalawiti.”
And they called to Lot and they said to him where? [are] the men who they came to you this night bring them to us so let us know them.
6 Loti akatoka nje kuonana nao, akaufunga mlango nyuma yake,
And he went out to them Lot the entrance towards and the door he closed behind him.
7 akasema, “La hasha, rafiki zangu. Msifanye jambo hili ovu.
And he said may not please O brothers my you do evil.
8 Tazama, ninao binti wawili ambao kamwe hawajakutana kimwili na mwanaume. Acha niwatoe nje kwenu, nanyi mnaweza kuwafanyia lolote mnalotaka. Lakini msiwafanyie chochote watu hawa, kwa sababu wako kwenye ulinzi chini ya dari langu.”
Here! please [belong] to me two daughters who not they have known a man let me bring out please them to you and do to them according to the good in view your only to the men these may not you do anything for since they have come in [the] shadow of roof my.
9 Wakamjibu, “Tuondokee mbali.” Wakaendelea kusema, “Huyu mtu alikuja hapa kama mgeni na sasa anataka kuwa mwamuzi wetu! Tutakutenda vibaya kuliko wao.” Waliendelea kumlazimisha Loti na kusonga mbele ili kuvunja mlango.
And they said - approach beyond and they said the one he came to sojourn and he has judged continuously now we will do harm to you more than them and they urged the man Lot exceedingly and they approached to break down the door.
10 Lakini watu wale waliokuwa ndani wakanyoosha mkono wakamvuta Loti ndani ya nyumba na kufunga mlango.
And they stretched out the men hand their and they brought Lot to them the house towards and the door they closed.
11 Kisha wakawapiga kwa upofu wale watu waliokuwa mlangoni mwa ile nyumba, vijana kwa wazee, hivyo hawakuweza kuupata mlango.
And the men who [were] [the] entrance of the house they struck with sudden blindness from small and unto great and they became weary to find the entrance.
12 Wale watu wawili wakamwambia Loti, “Una mtu mwingine yeyote hapa, wakwe zako, wana au binti, ama yeyote mwingine aliye wako katika mji huu? Waondoe hapa,
And they said the men to Lot yet who? [belongs] to you here a son-in-law and sons your and daughters your and all who [belong] to you in the city bring out from the place.
13 kwa sababu tunapaangamiza mahali hapa. Kilio kwa Bwana dhidi ya watu wa hapa ni kikubwa kiasi kwamba ametutuma kupaangamiza.”
For [are] about to destroy we the place this for it is great outcry their with [the] face of Yahweh and he has sent us Yahweh to destroy it.
14 Kwa hiyo Loti alitoka ili kuzungumza na wakwe zake, waliokuwa wamewaposa binti zake. Akawaambia, “Fanyeni haraka kuondoka mahali hapa, kwa kuwa Bwana yu karibu kuangamiza mji huu!” Lakini wakwe zake walifikiri kwamba alikuwa akitania.
And he went out Lot and he spoke - to sons-in-law his - [who were] about to take daughters his and he said arise go out from the place this for [is] about to destroy Yahweh the city and he was like [one who] jests in [the] eyes of sons-in-law his.
15 Kunako mapambazuko, malaika wakamhimiza Loti, wakamwambia, “Fanya haraka! Mchukue mke wako na binti zako wawili walioko hapa, la sivyo utaangamizwa wakati mji utakapoadhibiwa.”
And when the dawn it came up and they urged the angels Lot saying arise take wife your and [the] two daughters your who are found lest you should be swept away in [the] punishment of the city.
16 Alipositasita, wale watu wakamshika mkono wake na mikono ya mke wake na binti zake wawili na kuwaongoza salama nje ya mji, kwa kuwa Bwana alikuwa na huruma kwao.
And he delayed - and they took hold the men on hand his and on [the] hand of wife his and on [the] hand of [the] two daughters his in [the] mercy of Yahweh towards him and they brought out him and they placed him from [the] outside of the city.
17 Mara walipokwisha kuwatoa nje, mmoja wao akawaambia, “Mkimbie kwa usalama wenu! Msitazame nyuma, wala msisimame popote katika nchi tambarare! Kimbilieni milimani, ama sivyo mtaangamizwa!”
And it was when brought out they them the outside towards and he said escape on life your may not you look behind you and may not you stop in all the valley the hill country towards escape lest you should be swept away.
18 Lakini Loti akawajibu, “La hasha, bwana zangu, tafadhalini!
And he said Lot to them may not [it be] please O Lord.
19 Mtumishi wenu amepata kibali mbele ya macho yenu, nanyi mmeonyesha wema mkubwa kwangu kwa kuokoa maisha yangu. Lakini siwezi kukimbilia milimani, janga hili litanikumba, nami nitakufa.
Here! please he has found servant your favor in view your and you have made great loyalty your which you have done with me by preserving alive life my and I not I am able to escape the hill country towards lest it should cling to me the calamity and I will die.
20 Tazama, hapa kuna mji karibu wa kukimbilia, nao ni mdogo. Niruhusuni nikimbilie humo, ni mdogo sana, ama sivyo? Ndipo maisha yangu yatasalimika.”
Here! please the city this [is] near to flee there towards and it [is] a small place let me escape please there towards ¿ not a small place [is] it so it may live life my.
21 Akamwambia, “Vema sana, nitalikubali hili ombi pia, sitauangamiza mji ulioutaja.
And he said to him here! I lift up face your also to the matter this to not to overthrow I the city which you have spoken.
22 Lakini ukimbilie huko haraka, kwa sababu sitaweza kufanya lolote mpaka ufike huko.” (Ndiyo maana mji huo ukaitwa Soari.)
Hurry escape there towards for not I will be able to do anything until going you there towards there-fore someone called [the] name of the city Zoar.
23 Wakati Loti alipofika Soari, jua lilikuwa limechomoza katika nchi.
The sun it came out over the earth and Lot he went Zoar towards.
24 Ndipo Bwana akanyesha moto wa kiberiti uliotoka mbinguni kwa Bwana juu ya Sodoma na Gomora.
And Yahweh he caused to rain on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from with Yahweh from the heavens.
25 Hivyo akaiteketeza miji ile na eneo lote la tambarare, pamoja na wote waliokuwa wanaishi katika miji, hata pia mimea yote katika nchi.
And he overthrew the cities these and all the valley and all [the] inhabitants of the cities and [the] growth of the ground.
26 Lakini mke wa Loti akatazama nyuma, hivyo akawa nguzo ya chumvi.
And she looked wife his from behind him and she was a pillar of salt.
27 Asubuhi na mapema siku iliyofuata, Abrahamu akaamka na kurudi mahali pale aliposimama mbele za Bwana.
And he rose early Abraham in the morning to the place where he had stood there with [the] face of Yahweh.
28 Akatazama upande wa Sodoma na Gomora, kuelekea nchi yote ya tambarare, akaona moshi mzito ukipanda kutoka kwenye nchi, kama moshi utokao kwenye tanuru.
And he looked down on [the] face of Sodom and Gomorrah and on all [the] face of [the] land of the valley and he saw and there! it went up [the] smoke of the land like [the] smoke of furnace.
29 Kwa hiyo Mungu alipoiangamiza miji ya tambarare alimkumbuka Abrahamu, akamtoa Loti kutoka kwenye lile janga lililoharibu miji ile ambamo Loti alikuwa ameishi.
And it was when destroyed God [the] cities of the valley and he remembered God Abraham and he sent out Lot from [the] middle of the overthrow when overthrew the cities which he had dwelt in them Lot.
30 Loti na binti zake wawili waliondoka Soari na kufanya makao yao kule milimani, kwa maana aliogopa kukaa Soari. Yeye na binti zake wawili waliishi katika pango.
And he went up Lot from Zoar and he dwelt in the hill country and [the] two daughters his [were] with him for he was afraid to dwell in Zoar and he dwelt in the cave he and [the] two daughters his.
31 Siku moja binti mkubwa akamwambia yule mdogo, “Baba yetu ni mzee na hakuna mwanaume mahali hapa atakayekutana na sisi kimwili, kama ilivyo desturi ya mahali pote duniani.
And said the firstborn to the young father our he is old and [is] a man there not in the land to go on us according to [the] way of all the earth.
32 Tumnyweshe baba yetu mvinyo kisha tukutane naye kimwili ili tuhifadhi uzao wetu kupitia baba yetu.”
Come! let us make drink father our wine and let us lie with him so we may preserve alive from father of our spring.
33 Usiku ule walimnywesha baba yao mvinyo, alipolewa binti yake mkubwa akaingia na kukutana naye kimwili. Baba yao hakujua wakati binti yake alipoingia kulala naye wala alipotoka.
And they made drink father their wine in the night that and she came the firstborn and she lay with father her and not he knew when lay down she and when arose she.
34 Siku iliyofuata binti mkubwa akamwambia yule mdogo, “Usiku uliopita mimi nilikutana kimwili na baba yangu. Tumnyweshe divai tena, usiku huu nawe ukutane naye kimwili ili tuweze kuhifadhi uzao wetu kupitia baba yetu.”
And it was from [the] next day and she said the firstborn to the young here! I lay with last night father my let us make drink him wine also this night and go lie with him so we may preserve alive from father of our spring.
35 Kwa hiyo wakamnywesha baba yao mvinyo tena usiku ule, naye binti yake mdogo akaingia, akakutana naye kimwili. Kwa mara nyingine baba yao hakujua binti yake alipolala naye wala alipoondoka.
And they made drink also in the night that father their wine and she arose the young [one] and she lay with him and not he knew when lay down she and when arose she.
36 Hivyo binti wawili wa Loti wakapata mimba kwa baba yao.
And they conceived [the] two [the] daughters of Lot from father their.
37 Binti mkubwa akamzaa mwana, akamwita jina lake Moabu; ndio baba wa Wamoabu hata leo.
And she bore the firstborn a son and she called name his Moab he [is] [the] ancestor of Moab until this day.
38 Binti mdogo naye pia akamzaa mwana, naye akamwita Benami; ndiye baba wa Waamoni hata leo.
And the young also she she bore a son and she called name his Ben-Ammi he [is] [the] ancestor of [the] people of Ammon until this day.
