¹The two angels came to Sodom at evening. Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them. He bowed himself with his face to the earth,

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

²and he said, “See now, my lords, please turn aside into your servant’s house, stay all night, wash your feet, and you can rise up early, and go on your way.” They said, “No, but we will stay in the street all night.”

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.'

³He urged them greatly, and they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.

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.

⁴But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.

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

⁵They called to Lot, and said to him, “Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them.”

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

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

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

⁷He said, “Please, my brothers, don’t act so wickedly.

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

⁸See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them what seems good to you. Only don’t do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof.”

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!'

⁹They said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now will we deal worse with you, than with them!” They pressed hard on the man Lot, and drew near to break the door.

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.

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

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

¹¹They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

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

¹²The men said to Lot, “Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whoever you have in the city, bring them out of the place:

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

¹³for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before Yahweh that Yahweh has sent us to destroy it.”

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

¹⁴Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, “Get up! Get out of this place, for Yahweh will destroy the city.” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.

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.

¹⁵When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, “Get up! Take your wife, and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city.”

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!'

¹⁶But he lingered; and the men grabbed his hand, his wife’s hand, and his two daughters’ hands, Yahweh being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside 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.

¹⁷It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, “Escape for your life! Don’t look behind you, and don’t stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be consumed!”

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!'

¹⁸Lot said to them, “Oh, not so, my lord.

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

¹⁹See now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your loving kindness, which you have shown to me in saving my life. I can’t escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die.

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.

²⁰See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (isn’t it a little one?), and my soul will live.”

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!'

²¹He said to him, “Behold, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.

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

²²Hurry, escape there, for I can’t do anything until you get there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. Zoar means “little.”

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

²³The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.

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

²⁴Then Yahweh rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from Yahweh out of the sky.

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

²⁵He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.

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

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

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

²⁷Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Yahweh.

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

²⁸He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and looked, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.

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

²⁹It happened, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.

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.

³⁰Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters.

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.

³¹The firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us in the way of all the earth.

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

³²Come, let’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s seed.”

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

³³They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she arose.

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.

³⁴It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine again, tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s seed.”

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!'

³⁵They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she got up.

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.

³⁶Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father.

³⁶Ja Loti mõlemad tütred jäid oma isast lapseootele.

³⁷The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.

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

³⁸The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. He is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.

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