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,

¹In ona dva angela sta prišla v Sodomo zvečer, in Lot je sedel pri vratih sodomskih. Ko ju zagleda Lot, vstane in jima gre naproti ter se prikloni ponižno do tal,

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.”

²in reče: Glejta, gospoda moja, ustavita se, prosim, v hiši hlapca svojega, ter prenočita in umijta si noge. In zjutraj bosta vstala in šla svojim potem. Ona pa rečeta: Ne, ampak na ulicah bova prenočila.

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.

³Ali ker ju je zelo silil, se ustavita pri njem ter vstopita v hišo njegovo. In napravi jima večerjo ter speče opresnikov, in jedla sta.

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.

⁴Še nista bila legla, ko obsujejo moški iz mesta, moški sodomski, ono hišo, dečki in starci, vse ljudstvo iz vsega obmestja.

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.”

⁵In klicali so Lota, govoreč mu: Kje sta tista moža, ki sta prišla k tebi nocoj? Pripelji ju ven k nam, da ju spoznamo.

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

⁶Lot pa izide k njim pred vrata in zapre duri za seboj

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

⁷in reče: Ne, prosim, bratje, ne delajte zlega!

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.”

⁸Glejte, imam dve hčeri, ki nista še spoznali moža; dejte, da ju pripeljem k vam in storite jima, kakor se vam poljubi. Samo tema možema ne storite nič žalega, ko sta prišla v senco strehe moje.

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.

⁹Tedaj mu reko: Odstopi! In govoré: Ta sam je prišel uživat gostoljubje, pa se neprestano dela sodnika! Zdaj pa storimo več hudega tebi nego njima. In pritiskali so silno v moža, v Lota, in pristopijo, da bi ulomili vrata.

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

¹⁰Ona moža pa iztegneta roke svoje in potegneta Lota k sebi v hišo in zapreta vrata.

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.

¹¹A tiste može, ki so bili pri hišnih vratih, udarita s slepoto, od najmanjšega do največjega, tako da so onemogli in niso našli vrat.

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:

¹²Tedaj rečeta ona moža Lotu: Koga imaš še tu? zeta ali sine svoje ali hčere svoje, ali kogarkoli imaš v tem mestu, glej, da gredo iz tega kraja.

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

¹³Kajti pokončala bova ta kraj, zato ker je veliko njih vpitje pred obličjem GOSPODOVIM, in poslal naju je GOSPOD ga pogubit.

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.

¹⁴Izide torej Lot ter ogovori zeta svoja, ki sta mislila v kratkem vzeti hčeri njegovi, ter reče: Vstanita, pojdita iz tega kraja, kajti GOSPOD pokonča mesto. Ali zetoma njegovima se je zdelo, kakor da se norčuje.

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.”

¹⁵Ko je pa vzhajala zarja, sta priganjala angela Lota, govoreč: Vstani, vzemi ženo svojo in dve hčeri svoji, ki sta pri tebi, da ne pogineš v kazni tega mesta.

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.

¹⁶On pa se je obotavljal. Zato zgrabita ona moža roko njegovo in žene njegove roko in roke dveh hčer njegovih, ker mu je GOSPOD milostno prizanesel, in ga izpeljeta in ga postavita zunaj mesta.

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!”

¹⁷In zgodi se, ko sta jih izpeljala ven, da mu veli: Reši se zaradi duše svoje, ne oziraj se za seboj in ne ustavi se na vseh tej ravnini; otmi se na ono goro, da ne pogineš.

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

¹⁸Lot pa jima odgovori: Ah, ne tako, Gospod!

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.

¹⁹Glej, prosim, hlapec tvoj je našel milost v tvojih očeh in poveličal si milost svojo, ki si mi jo izkazal, ohranivši mi življenje; jaz pa se ne morem oteti na ono goro, da me ne dohiti zlo in ne umrem.

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.”

²⁰Glej, prosim, to mesto! Blizu je, lahko tja zbežim, in prav majhno je: tja naj se, prosim, otmem (ni li prav majhno?), da živi duša moja.

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.

²¹In mu veli: Glej, ozrl sem se milostno nate tudi v tej stvari, da ne razdenem mesta, za katero si govoril.

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.”

²²Hiti, otmi se tja, zakaj ničesar ne morem storiti, dokler ne dojdeš tja. Zato se imenuje mesto to Zoar [T. j. majhno.].

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

²³Solnce je vzhajalo nad zemljo, ko je Lot prihajal v Zoar.

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

²⁴In GOSPOD je dežil nad Sodomo in Gomoro žveplo in ogenj od GOSPODA z neba;

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

²⁵in pokončal je ta mesta in vso ravnino in vse prebivalce tistih mest in kar je raslo na zemlji.

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

²⁶In žena njegova, gredoča za njim, se je ozrla nazaj, in postala je solnat steber.

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

²⁷Zjutraj zgodaj pa vstane Abraham in odide v oni kraj, kjer je prej stal pred GOSPODOM.

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.

²⁸In pogleda proti Sodomi in Gomori in proti vsej zemlji one ravnine, in videl je, in glej: dim se je vzdigal od zemlje kakor dim apnenice.

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.

²⁹Zgodilo se je torej, ko je Bog pokončaval mesta one ravnine, da se je Bog spomnil Abrahama in odpeljal Lota iz propasti, ko je podiral mesta, v katerih je bival Lot.

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.

³⁰Lot pa je šel gori iz Zoara in prebival je na gori in dve hčeri njegovi ž njim, kajti bal se je bivati v Zoaru; in bival je v neki jami, on in obe hčeri njegovi.

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.

³¹Reče pa prvenka mlajši: Oče najin je star, in v tej pokrajini ni moža, ki bi se združil z nama po navadi vse zemlje.

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

³²Dej, dajva piti svojemu očetu vina in leziva ž njim, da v življenju ohraniva iz svojega očeta seme.

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.

³³Dali sta torej očetu svojemu piti vina tisto noč, in pride prvenka ter je ležala z očetom svojim, in on ni zaznal, ne ko je legla, ne ko je vstala.

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.”

³⁴In drugi dan reče prvenka mlajši: Glej, ležala sem preteklo noč z očetom svojim; dajva mu piti vina tudi nocoj, potem pridi, lezi ž njim, da ohraniva iz očeta svojega seme.

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.

³⁵Dali sta torej tudi tisto noč piti vina očetu svojemu; mlajša pa vstane ter je ležala ž njim, in on ni zaznal, ne ko je legla, ne ko je vstala.

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

³⁶Tako sta spočeli obe hčeri Lotovi iz očeta svojega.

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

³⁷In rodila je prvenka sina in ga imenovala Moaba: on je oče Moabcev do tega dne.In tudi mlajša je rodila sina in mu je dala ime Ben-ami: on je oče sinov Amonovih do tega dne.

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

³⁸In tudi mlajša je rodila sina in mu je dala ime Ben-ami: on je oče sinov Amonovih do tega dne.
