Genesis 19
1 At nagsidating ang dalawang anghel sa Sodoma, nang nagtatakip silim; at si Lot ay nakaupo sa pintuang-bayan ng Sodoma: at sila'y nakita ni Lot, at nagtindig upang salubungin sila; at iniyukod ang mukha sa lupa;
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 At nagsabi, Ngayon nga mga panginoon ko, ipinamamanhik ko sa inyo na kayo'y magsiliko at magsipasok sa bahay ng inyong lingkod, at kayo'y matira sa buong magdamag, at maghugas ng inyong mga paa, at sa madaling araw ay magsipagbangon kayo at magpatuloy ng inyong paglakad. At kanilang sinabi, Hindi, kundi sa langsangan mananahan kami sa buong magdamag.
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 At kaniyang pinakapilit sila; at sila'y nagsiliko, at nagsipasok sa kaniyang bahay; at sila'y kaniyang pinaghandaan, at ipinagluto ng mga tinapay na walang levadura, at nagsikain.
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 Datapuwa't bago nagsihiga, ang bahay ay kinulong ng mga tao sa bayan sa makatuwid baga'y ng mga tao sa Sodoma, na mga binata at gayon din ng mga matanda ng buong bayan sa buong palibot;
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 At kanilang tinawagan si Lot, at sinabi sa kaniya, Saan nangaroon ang mga lalaking dumating sa iyo ng gabing ito? ilabas mo sila sa amin upang kilalanin namin sila.
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 At nilabas sila ni Lot sa pintuan, at isinara ang pinto sa likuran niya.
Lot went outside the house and shut the door behind him, so that they could not go inside.
7 At sinabi niya, Ipinamamanhik ko sa inyo, mga kapatid ko, na huwag kayong gumawa ng ganiyang kasamaan.
He said to them, “My friends, don’t do such an evil thing!
8 Narito, ngayon, may dalawa akong anak na babae, na hindi nakakilala ng lalake; ipinamamanhik ko sa inyo, na sila'y aking ilalabas sa inyo, at gawin ninyo sa kanila ang magalingin ninyo sa inyong paningin: huwag lamang ninyong gawan ng anoman ang mga lalaking ito; yamang sila'y nangasa silong ng aking bubungan.
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 At sinabi nila, Umurong ka! At sinabi pa nila, Ang taong ito'y naparito upang makipamayan, at ibig niyang maging hukom: ngayon nga'y gagawan ka namin ng lalong masama kay sa kanila. At kanilang ipinagtulakan ang lalaking si Lot, at nagsilapit upang sirain ang pintuan.
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 Datapuwa't iniunat ng mga lalake ang kanilang kamay at binatak si Lot sa loob ng bahay at kanilang sinarhan ang pintuan.
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 At ang mga taong nangasa pintuan ng bahay ay mga pinagbulag nila, ang munti't malaki: ano pa't sila'y nangayamot sa paghahanap ng pintuan.
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 At sinabi ng mga lalake kay Lot, Mayroon ka pa ritong kamaganakan? Ang iyong mga manugang, at ang iyong mga anak na lalake at babae, at ang lahat ng iyong tinatangkilik sa bayan: ay ipagaalis mo sa dakong ito:
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 Sapagka't aming lilipulin ang dakong ito dahil sa napakalakas ang kanilang sigaw sa harap ng Panginoon; at kami ay sinugo ng Panginoon upang aming lipulin.
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 At si Lot ay lumabas, at pinagsabihan niya ang kaniyang mga manugang na nagasawa sa kaniyang mga anak na babae, at sinabi, Magtindig kayo, magsialis kayo sa dakong ito; sapagka't gugunawin ng Panginoon ang bayan. Datapuwa't ang akala ng kaniyang mga manugang ay nagbibiro siya.
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 At nang umumaga ay pinapagmadali ng mga anghel si Lot, na sinasabi, Magbangon ka, ipagsama mo ang iyong asawa at ang iyong dalawang anak na babae na narito, baka pati ikaw ay madamay sa parusa sa bayan.
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 Datapuwa't siya'y nagluluwat; at hinawakan ng mga lalake ang kaniyang kamay, at ang kamay ng kaniyang asawa, at ang kamay ng kaniyang dalawang anak na babae; sa habag sa kaniya ng Panginoon: at siya'y kanilang inilabas, at siya'y kanilang inilagay sa labas ng bayan.
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 At nangyari, na nang sila'y mailabas na nila, ay sinabi, Itakas mo ang iyong buhay; huwag kang lumingon o huminto man sa buong kapatagan; tumakas ka hanggang sa bundok, baka ikaw ay mamatay.
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 At sinabi sa kanila ni Lot, Huwag ganiyan, panginoon ko:
But Lot said to one of the angels, “No, sir, don’t make me do that!
19 Narito, ngayo't ang lingkod mo ay nakasumpong ng biyaya sa iyong paningin, at pinakalaki mo ang iyong awang ipinakita sa akin sa pagliligtas ng aking buhay; at ako'y di makatatakas sa bundok, baka ako'y abutan ng sama, at ako'y mamatay.
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 Narito, ang bayang ito ay malapit takasan at maliit: Oh tulutan mong tumakas ako roon, (di ba yao'y maliit?) at mabubuhay ako.
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 At sinabi sa kaniya, Narito, sa bagay mang ito ay pinayagan din kita, na hindi ko gugunawin ang bayang iyong sinalita.
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 Magmadali ka, tumakas ka roon; sapagka't wala akong magagawa hanggang sa dumating ka roon. Kaya't ang pangalang itinawag sa bayang yaon ay 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 Ang araw ay nakalitaw na sa lupa nang dumating si Lot sa Zoar.
As the sun was rising, Lot and his family arrived in the town which is now called Zoar.
24 Nang magkagayo'y nagpaulan ang Panginoon sa Sodoma at Gomorra ng azufre at apoy mula sa Panginoon na buhat sa langit;
Then Yahweh caused fire and [burning] sulfur to fall down on Sodom and Gomorrah like rain.
25 At ginunaw niya ang mga bayang yaon, at ang buong Kapatagan at ang lahat ng nangananahan sa mga bayang yaon, at ang tumutubo sa lupang yaon.
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 Datapuwa't ang asawa ni Lot ay lumingon sa likuran ni Lot, at naging haliging asin.
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 At si Abraham ay sumampang maaga ng kinaumagahan sa dakong kinatayuan niya sa harap ng Panginoon.
That morning, Abraham got up and went to the place where he had stood in front of Yahweh.
28 At siya'y tumingin sa dakong Sodoma at Gomorra, at sa buong lupain ng Kapatagan, at tumanaw, at narito, ang usok ng lupain ay napaiilanglang na parang usok ng isang hurno.
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 At nangyari, na nang gunawin ng Dios ang mga bayan ng Kapatagan, na naalaala ng Dios si Abraham, at pinalabas si Lot, mula sa gitna ng pinaggunawan, nang gunawin ang mga bayan na kinatitirahan ni Lot.
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 At sumampa si Lot mula sa Zoar at tumira sa bundok, at ang kaniyang dalawang anak na babae na kasama niya; sapagka't siya'y natakot na tumira sa Zoar: at siya'y tumira sa isang yungib, siya at ang kaniyang dalawang anak na babae.
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 At sinabi ng panganay sa bunso: Ang ating ama ay matanda, at walang lalake sa lupa na sumiping sa atin, ayon sa ugali ng sangkalupaan:
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 Halika, painumin natin ng alak ang ating ama, at tayo'y sumiping sa kaniya; upang mapalagi natin ang binhi ng ating ama.
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 At pinainom nila ng alak ang kanilang ama ng gabing yaon: at pumasok ang panganay at sumiping sa kaniyang ama; at hindi naalaman, ng ama nang siya'y mahiga ni nang siya'y magbangon.
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 At nangyari nang kinabukasan, na sinabi ng panganay sa bunso. Narito, ako'y sumiping kagabi sa aking ama; painumin din natin ng alak sa gabing ito; at pumasok ka, at sumiping ka sa kaniya; upang mapalagi natin ang binhi ng ating ama.
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 At pinainom din nila ng alak ang kanilang ama ng gabing yaon: at nagtindig ang bunso, at sumiping sa ama; at hindi naalaman ng ama nang siya'y mahiga, ni nang siya'y magbangon.
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 Sa ganito'y kapuwa nagdalangtao ang mga anak ni Lot sa pamamagitan ng kanilang ama.
So Lot caused his two daughters to become pregnant.
37 At nanganak ang panganay ng isang lalake, at tinawag ang kaniyang ngalang Moab: na siya ngang ama ng mga Moabita, hanggang sa araw na ito.
The older one later gave birth to a son, whom she named Moab. He became the ancestor of the Moab people-group.
38 At ang bunso ay nanganak din ng isang lalake, at tinawag ang kaniyang pangalang Ben-ammi: na siya ngang ama ng mga anak ni Ammon, hanggang ngayon.
The younger one also gave birth to a son, whom she named Ben-Ammi. He became the ancestor of the Ammon people-group.
