1فجاء الملاكان الى سدوم مساء وكان لوط جالسا في باب سدوم. فلما رآهما لوط قام لاستقبالهما وسجد بوجهه الى الارض.
1And the two angels came to Sodom at even; 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;
2وقال يا سيّديّ ميلا الى بيت عبدكما وبيتا واغسلا ارجلكما. ثم تبكران وتذهبان في طريقكما. فقالا لا بل في الساحة نبيت.
2and 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, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
3فألحّ عليهما جدا. فمالا اليه ودخلا بيته. فصنع لهما ضيافة وخبز فطيرا فاكلا
3And he urged them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
4وقبلما اضطجعا احاط بالبيت رجال المدينة رجال سدوم من الحدث الى الشيخ كل الشعب من اقصاها.
4But before they lay down, the men of the city, [even] the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both young and old, all the people from every quarter;
5فنادوا لوطا وقالوا له اين الرجلان اللذان دخلا اليك الليلة. اخرجهما الينا لنعرفهما.
5and they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men that came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
6فخرج اليهم لوط الى الباب واغلق الباب وراءه.
6And Lot went out unto them to the door, and shut the door after him.
7وقال لا تفعلوا شرا يا اخوتي.
7And he said, I pray you, my brethren, do not so wickedly.
8هوذا لي ابنتان لم تعرفا رجلا. اخرجهما اليكم فافعلوا بهما كما يحسن في عيونكم. واما هذان الرجلان فلا تفعلوا بهما شيئا لانهما قد دخلا تحت ظل سقفي.
8Behold now, I have two daughters that have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing, forasmuch as they are come under the shadow of my roof.
9فقالوا ابعد الى هناك. ثم قالوا جاء هذا الانسان ليتغرب وهو يحكم حكما. الآن نفعل بك شرا اكثر منهما. فألحّوا على الرجل لوط جدا وتقدموا ليكسروا الباب.
9And they said, Stand back. And they said, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and drew near to break the door.
10فمدّ الرجلان ايديهما وادخلا لوطا اليهما الى البيت واغلقا الباب.
10But the men put forth their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
11واما الرجال الذين على باب البيت فضرباهم بالعمى من الصغير الى الكبير. فعجزوا عن ان يجدوا الباب
11And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
12وقال الرجلان للوط من لك ايضا ههنا. اصهارك وبنيك وبناتك وكل من لك في المدينة اخرج من المكان.
12And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whomsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of the place:
13لاننا مهلكان هذا المكان. اذ قد عظم صراخهم امام الرب فارسلنا الرب لنهلكه.
13for we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxed great before Jehovah: and Jehovah hath sent us to destroy it.
14فخرج لوط وكلم اصهاره الآخذين بناته وقال قوموا اخرجوا من هذا المكان. لان الرب مهلك المدينة. فكان كمازح في اعين اصهاره.
14And Lot went out, and spake unto 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 unto his sons-in-law as one that mocked.
15ولما طلع الفجر كان الملاكان يعجلان لوطا قائلين قم خذ امرأتك وابنتيك الموجودتين لئلا تهلك باثم المدينة.
15And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters that are here, lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
16ولما توانى امسك الرجلان بيده وبيد امرأته وبيد ابنتيه لشفقة الرب عليه واخرجاه ووضعاه خارج المدينة.
16But 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 unto him; and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
17وكان لما اخرجاهم الى خارج انه قال اهرب لحياتك. لا تنظر الى ورائك ولا تقف في كل الدائرة. اهرب الى الجبل لئلا تهلك.
17And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the Plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
18فقال لهما لوط لا يا سيد.
18And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my lord:
19هوذا عبدك قد وجد نعمة في عينيك وعظمت لطفك الذي صنعت اليّ باستبقاء نفسي. وانا لا اقدر ان اهرب الى الجبل. لعل الشر يدركني فاموت.
19behold now, thy servant hath found favor in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy lovingkindness, which thou hast showed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die:
20هوذا المدينة هذه قريبة للهرب اليها وهي صغيرة. اهرب الى هناك. أليست هي صغيرة. فتحيا نفسي.
20behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape thither (is it not a little one?), and my soul shall live.
21فقال له اني قد رفعت وجهك في هذا الامر ايضا ان لا اقلب المدينة التي تكلمت عنها.
21And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which thou hast spoken.
22اسرع اهرب الى هناك. لاني لا استطيع ان افعل شيئا حتى تجيء الى هناك. لذلك دعي اسم المدينة صوغر
22Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23واذ اشرقت الشمس على الارض دخل لوط الى صوغر.
23The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot came unto Zoar.
24فامطر الرب على سدوم وعمورة كبريتا ونارا من عند الرب من السماء.
24Then Jehovah rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah out of heaven;
25وقلب تلك المدن وكل الدائرة وجميع سكان المدن ونبات الارض.
25and he overthrew those cities, and all the Plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26ونظرت امرأته من وراءه فصارت عمود ملح
26But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27وبكّر ابراهيم في الغد الى المكان الذي وقف فيه امام الرب.
27And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Jehovah:
28وتطلع نحو سدوم وعمورة ونحو كل ارض الدائرة ونظر واذا دخان الارض يصعد كدخان الاتون.
28and 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.
29وحدث لما اخرب الله مدن الدائرة ان الله ذكر ابراهيم وارسل لوطا من وسط الانقلاب. حين قلب المدن التي سكن فيها لوط
29And 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.
30وصعد لوط من صوغر وسكن في الجبل وابنتاه معه. لانه خاف ان يسكن في صوغر. فسكن في المغارة هو وابنتاه.
30And 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.
31وقالت البكر للصغيرة ابونا قد شاخ وليس في الارض رجل ليدخل علينا كعادة كل الارض.
31And the first-born said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
32هلم نسقي ابانا خمرا ونضطجع معه. فنحيي من ابينا نسلا.
32come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
33فسقتا اباهما خمرا في تلك الليلة. ودخلت البكر واضطجعت مع ابيها. ولم يعلم باضطجاعها ولا بقيامها.
33And they made their father drink wine that night: and the first-born went in, and lay with her father; and he knew not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34وحدث في الغد ان البكر قالت للصغيرة اني قد اضطجعت البارحة مع ابي. نسقيه خمرا الليلة ايضا فادخلي اضطجعي معه. فنحيي من ابينا نسلا.
34And it came to pass on the morrow, that the first-born said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight 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 of our father.
35فسقتا اباهما خمرا في تلك الليلة ايضا. وقامت الصغيرة واضطجعت معه. ولم يعلم باضطجاعها ولا بقيامها.
35And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he knew not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
36فحبلت ابنتا لوط من ابيهما.
36Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
37فولدت البكر ابنا ودعت اسمه موآب. وهو ابو الموآبيين الى اليوم.
37And the first-born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
38والصغيرة ايضا ولدت ابنا ودعت اسمه بن عمي. وهو ابو بني عمون الى اليوم
38And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Ben-ammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
