¹Ja need kaks inglit jõudsid õhtul Soodomasse. Lott istus parajasti Soodoma väravas. Kui Lott neid nägi, siis ta tõusis neile vastu, kummardas silmili maha

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,

²ja ütles: 'Ennäe mu isandaid! Astuge ometi oma sulase kotta, jääge öömajale ja peske oma jalad! Hommikul võite vara üles tõusta ja oma teekonda jätkata!' Kuid nad vastasid: 'Ei, me jääme ööseks välja.'

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.

³Aga ta käis neile väga peale. Siis nad põikasid tema juurde ning tulid ta kotta. Ja ta valmistas neile pidusöögi, küpsetas hapnemata leibu ja nad sõid.

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.

⁴Nad ei olnud veel magama heitnud, kui linna mehed, Soodoma mehed, niihästi noored kui vanad, kogu rahvas viimseni, ümbritsesid koja

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.

⁵ja hüüdsid Lotti ning ütlesid temale: 'Kus on mehed, kes öösel tulid sinu juurde? Too nad välja meie kätte, et saaksime neid katsuda!'

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.

⁶Siis Lott läks välja nende juurde ukse ette, sulges ukse enese järel

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

⁷ja ütles: 'Mu vennad, ärge ometi tehke kurja!

⁷and said, I pray you, my brethren, do not wickedly!

⁸Vaadake, mul on kaks tütart, kes mehest veel midagi ei tea. Ma toon need välja teie kätte ja talitage nendega, nagu teie silmis hea on. Neile meestele ärge tehke midagi, sest nad on tulnud varjule minu katuse alla!'

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.

⁹Kuid nad vastasid: 'Käi minema!' Ja nad ütlesid: 'Ise on tulnud võõrana elama, aga tahab olla kohtumõistjaks! Nüüd me kohtleme sind halvemini kui neid!' Ja nad kippusid väga mehe, Loti kallale ning asusid ust maha murdma.

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.

¹⁰Siis mehed sirutasid käed välja, tõmbasid Loti enese juurde kotta ja sulgesid ukse.

¹⁰And the men stretched out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.

¹¹Aga mehi, kes koja ukse taga olid, lõid nad pimestusega, niihästi väikesi kui suuri, nõnda et need väsisid ust otsimast.

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.

¹²Ja mehed ütlesid Lotile: 'Kes sul veel siin on, väimees ja pojad ja tütred ja kõik, kes sul linnas on, vii siit paigast ära,

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.

¹³sest me hävitame selle paiga, kuna hädakisa nende pärast on Issanda ees suur; ja Issand on meid läkitanud seda hävitama!'

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.

¹⁴Siis Lott läks välja ja kõneles oma väimeestega, kes pidid võtma ta tütred, ning ütles: 'Tõuske, minge siit paigast ära, sest Issand hävitab selle linna!' Aga oma väimeeste meelest heitis ta nalja.

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.

¹⁵Ja kui hakkas koitma, kiirustasid inglid Lotti, öeldes: 'Tõuse, võta oma naine ja kaks tütart, kes siin on, et sa ei hukkuks linna süü pärast!'

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.

¹⁶Ja kui ta veel kõhkles, siis haarasid mehed kinni ta käest, ja ta naise käest ja ta mõlema tütre käest, sest Issand tahtis teda säästa; ja nad viisid ta ära ning jätsid väljapoole linna.

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.

¹⁷Ja neid välja viies nad ütlesid: 'Päästa oma hing! Ära vaata selja taha ja ära peatu mitte kuskil ümbruskonnas! Põgene mäestikku, et sa ei hukkuks!'

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.

¹⁸Ja Lott vastas neile: 'Muidugi mitte, mu isand!

¹⁸And Lot said to them, Not [so], I pray thee, Lord;

¹⁹Vaata, su sulane on küll sinu silmis armu leidnud ja suur on su heldus, mida sa oled mulle osutanud, jättes mu hinge elama. Aga ma ei suuda põgeneda mäestikku, et õnnetus mind ei tabaks ja ma ei sureks.

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.

²⁰Vaata, see linn taamal on nii ligidal, et sinna võiks põgeneda, ja on pisitilluke. Kui ma ometi sinna pääseksin - eks ole, see on ju pisitilluke? -, siis võiks mu hing jääda elama!'

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.

²¹Ja ta vastas temale: 'Vaata, ma võtan sind kuulda ka selles asjas ega paiska segi linna, millest sa räägid.

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.

²²Tõtta, põgene sinna, sest ma ei või midagi teha enne, kui sa sinna oled jõudnud!' Seepärast pandi sellele linnale nimeks Soar.

²²Haste, escape thither; for I cannot do anything until thou art come there. Therefore the name of the city is called Zoar.

²³Päike oli just tõusnud maa kohale, kui Lott jõudis Soari.

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

²⁴Ja Issand laskis sadada Soodoma ja Gomorra peale väävlit ja tuld Issanda juurest taevast

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

²⁵ning hävitas need linnad ja kogu ümbruskonna, kõik linnade elanikud ja maa taimestiku.

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

²⁶Aga Loti naine, kes ta järel käis, vaatas tagasi ja muutus soolasambaks.

²⁶And his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

²⁷Ja Aabraham läks hommikul vara paika, kus ta Issanda ees oli seisnud,

²⁷And Abraham rose early in the morning [and went] to the place where he had stood before Jehovah;

²⁸heitis pilgu alla Soodoma ja Gomorra poole ja kogu ümbruskonna maapinnale, vaatas, ja ennäe, maast tõusis suits otsekui sulatusahju suits.

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.

²⁹Kui Jumal oli segi paisanud ümbruskonna linnad, mõtles Jumal Aabrahamile ja saatis Loti ära selle hävituse keskelt, millega ta segi paiskas need linnad, kus Lott oli elanud.

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.

³⁰Ja Lott läks Soarist üles ning elas mäestikus koos oma kahe tütrega, sest ta kartis elada Soaris; ta elas ühes koopas, tema ise ja ta mõlemad tütred.

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.

³¹Kord ütles vanem nooremale: 'Meie isa on vana ja maal pole ühtegi meest, kes tuleks meie juurde kogu maailma kombe järgi.

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:

³²Tule, joodame oma isa veiniga ja magame temaga, et saaksime oma isalt järeltulija!'

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

³³Ja nad jootsid oma isa sel ööl veiniga ja vanem läks ning magas oma isaga; see ei märganudki, millal too maha heitis või üles tõusis.

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.

³⁴Ja järgmisel päeval ütles vanem nooremale: 'Vaata, ma magasin eile oma isaga. Joodame ka sel ööl teda veiniga, siis mine maga sina temaga, et saaksime oma isalt järeltulija!'

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.

³⁵Ja nad jootsid ka sel ööl oma isa veiniga ja noorem läks ning magas temaga; see ei märganudki, millal too maha heitis või üles tõusis.

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.

³⁶Ja Loti mõlemad tütred jäid oma isast lapseootele.

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

³⁷Ja vanem sünnitas poja ning pani temale nimeks Moab; see on moabide isa tänapäevani.

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

³⁸Ja noorem sünnitas ka poja ning pani temale nimeks Ben-Ammi; see on ammonlaste isa tänapäevani.

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.
