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 was sitting in the gate of Sodom. And Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them; and he bowed down, the face toward the ground,

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 in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and lodge, and wash your feet; and ye shall rise up early, and go on your way. And they said, No; but we will pass the night in the open place.

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 repast, and baked unleavened cakes; and they ate.

⁴وقبلما اضطجعا احاط بالبيت رجال المدينة رجال سدوم من الحدث الى الشيخ كل الشعب من اقصاها.

⁴Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, from the youngest to the oldest -- all the people from every quarter.

⁵فنادوا لوطا وقالوا له اين الرجلان اللذان دخلا اليك الليلة. اخرجهما الينا لنعرفهما.

⁵And they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men that have come in to thee to-night? bring them out to us that we may know them.

⁶فخرج اليهم لوط الى الباب واغلق الباب وراءه.

⁶And Lot went out to them to the entrance, and shut the door after him,

⁷وقال لا تفعلوا شرا يا اخوتي.

⁷and said, I pray you, my brethren, do not 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 who have not known a man: let me now bring them out to you; and do to them as is good in your sight: only, to these men do nothing; for therefore have they 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, Back there! And they said [again], This one came to sojourn, and he must be a judge? Now we will deal worse with thee than with them. And they pressed hard on the man -- on Lot; and drew near to break the door.

¹⁰فمدّ الرجلان ايديهما وادخلا لوطا اليهما الى البيت واغلقا الباب.

¹⁰And the men stretched out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut 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 entrance of the house with blindness, from the smallest to the greatest; and they wearied themselves to find the entrance.

¹²وقال الرجلان للوط من لك ايضا ههنا. اصهارك وبنيك وبناتك وكل من لك في المدينة اخرج من المكان.

¹²And the men said to Lot, Whom hast thou here besides? a son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and all whom 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 are going to destroy this place, because the cry of them is great before Jehovah, and Jehovah has 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 spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, Up, go out of this place, for Jehovah will destroy the city. But he was as if he jested, in the sight of his sons-in-law.

¹⁵ولما طلع الفجر كان الملاكان يعجلان لوطا قائلين قم خذ امرأتك وابنتيك الموجودتين لئلا تهلك باثم المدينة.

¹⁵And as the dawn arose, the angels urged Lot, saying, Up, take thy wife and thy two daughters who are present, lest thou perish in the iniquity of the city.

¹⁶ولما توانى امسك الرجلان بيده وبيد امرأته وبيد ابنتيه لشفقة الرب عليه واخرجاه ووضعاه خارج المدينة.

¹⁶And as he lingered, the men laid hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters, Jehovah being merciful to him; and they led him out, 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 outside, that he said, Escape for thy life: look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain: escape to the mountain, lest thou perish.

¹⁸فقال لهما لوط لا يا سيد.

¹⁸And Lot said to them, Not [so], I pray thee, 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 has found favour in thine eyes, and thou hast magnified thy goodness, which thou hast shewn to me in preserving my soul alive; but I cannot escape to the mountain, lest calamity lay hold on me, that 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 to, and it is small: I pray thee, let me escape thither -- is it not small? -- 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 to him, Behold, 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, escape thither; for I cannot do anything until thou art come there. Therefore the name of the city is called Zoar.

²³واذ اشرقت الشمس على الارض دخل لوط الى صوغر.

²³The sun rose upon the earth when Lot came to Zoar.

²⁴فامطر الرب على سدوم وعمورة كبريتا ونارا من عند الرب من السماء.

²⁴And Jehovah rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah out of heaven,

²⁵وقلب تلك المدن وكل الدائرة وجميع سكان المدن ونبات الارض.

²⁵and overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew upon the ground.

²⁶ونظرت امرأته من وراءه فصارت عمود ملح

²⁶And 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 rose early in the morning [and went] 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, a smoke went up from the land 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 from 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 to the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the land to come in to us after the manner of all the earth:

³²هلم نسقي ابانا خمرا ونضطجع معه. فنحيي من ابينا نسلا.

³²come, let us give our father wine to drink, and let us lie with him, that we may preserve seed alive of our father.

³³فسقتا اباهما خمرا في تلك الليلة. ودخلت البكر واضطجعت مع ابيها. ولم يعلم باضطجاعها ولا بقيامها.

³³And they gave their father wine to drink that night. And the first-born went in, and lay with her father, and he did not know of her lying down, nor of her rising.

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 next day that the first-born said to the younger, Lo, I lay last night with my father: let us give him wine to drink to-night also, and go thou in, lie with him, that we may preserve seed alive of our father.

³⁵فسقتا اباهما خمرا في تلك الليلة ايضا. وقامت الصغيرة واضطجعت معه. ولم يعلم باضطجاعها ولا بقيامها.

³⁵And they gave their father wine to drink that night also. And the younger arose, and lay with him; and he did not know of her lying down, nor of her rising.

³⁶فحبلت ابنتا لوط من ابيهما.

³⁶And both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.

³⁷فولدت البكر ابنا ودعت اسمه موآب. وهو ابو الموآبيين الى اليوم.

³⁷And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites to this day.

³⁸والصغيرة ايضا ولدت ابنا ودعت اسمه بن عمي. وهو ابو بني عمون الى اليوم

³⁸And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi; the same is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.
