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,

¹ Malayka hinka din binde to Saduma wiciri kambu. Lotu mo goono ga goro Saduma meyo gaa. Lotu di ey, a tun zama nga m'i kubay se, a sombu kala moyduma to ganda laabo gaa.

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.”

² A ne i se mo: «Ya araŋ, ay koyey, ay g'araŋ ŋwaaray, wa gana ka kaa ka zumbu ay, araŋ bannya kwaara. Araŋ ma kani noodin, i m'araŋ cey nyun. Araŋ ma biya ka tun ka araŋ dirawo te koyne.» Amma i ne: «Abada. Iri ga kani day batama ra.»

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.

³ Amma a n'i ŋwaaray gumo, hal i kamba ka kaa a do ka furo a windo ra. A na ŋwaari kaano te i se ka buuru kaŋ sinda dalbu ton i se, hal i ŋwa mo.

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.

⁴ Amma za i mana kani jina, kala kwaara alborey, danga Saduma izey nooya, zankey da dottijey, kurayey kulu borey kaa ka windo windi.

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.”

⁵ I soobay ka Lotu ce. I goono ga ne a se: «Man alborey din kaŋ yaŋ kaa ni do cino wo ra? M'i kaa taray iri se neewo, zama iri ma kani nd'ey.»

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

⁶ Lotu mo fatta ka koy i do ka fu meyo daabu nga banda.

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

⁷ A ne: «Ya araŋ ay nya-izey, ay g'araŋ ŋwaaray, wa si laala te ya-cine.

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.”

⁸ Wa guna, ay gonda ize way hinka kaŋ yaŋ mana alboro bay jina. Ay g'araŋ ŋwaaray, wa naŋ ay ma fatta nd'ey araŋ se. Araŋ ma te i se haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga ba. Amma borey din, wa si hay kulu te i se, zama i kaa ay fu daabirjo biyo cire.»

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.

⁹ I ne a se: «Hibi!» I ne mo: «Boro wo kaa neewo ka nga yawtaray goray te. Sohõ a ga ba nga ma te alkaali! To, sohõ ni wano ga jaase i wano kaŋ iri ga te ni se!» Kal i na bora din kaŋ ga ti Lotu kankam. I maan zama ngey ma meyo daabirjo ceeri.

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

¹⁰ Amma alboro hinka na ngey kambey salle ka Lotu candi ka daŋ fuwo ra ngey do. Gaa no i na meyo daabu.

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.

¹¹ Kal i na borey kaŋ yaŋ go windo me kar da danawtaray, ikayney da ibeerey, hal i na ngey boŋ fargandi nda windi meyo ceeciyaŋ.

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:

¹² Kala borey din ne Lotu se: «May no ni se neewo koyne? Anzurayyaŋ no, ize alboroyaŋ wala wayboroyaŋ? Wo kaŋ ni gonda kulu, ma n'i fattandi kwaaro wo ra,

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

¹³ zama iri ga nango wo halaci, zama i kalima te gaabi Rabbi jine. Rabbi mo na iri donton zama iri m'a halaci.»

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.

¹⁴ Lotu fatta ka salaŋ nga anzurayey se, ngey kaŋ yaŋ n'a ize wayey hiiji. A ne i se: «Wa tun ka fatta neewo, zama Rabbi ga kwaaro wo halaci.» Amma woodin mana hima a anzurayey se kala hahaarayaŋ sanni.

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.”

¹⁵ Waato kaŋ mo ga ba ka bo, malaykey na Lotu tuti ka ne: «Tun ka sambu ni wando da ni ize way hinka kaŋ yaŋ go ne. A ma si te ni mo ma halaci kwaaro wo halaciyaŋo ra.»

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.

¹⁶ Waati kaŋ a goono ga lamburay, alborey din n'a kamba di, d'a wando kamba, d'a ize way hinka kambey (zama Rabbi gonda suuji a se.) I n'a fattandi, k'a taŋ kwaara banda.

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!”

¹⁷ A ciya mo, waato kaŋ i n'a fattandi, kal i ne: «Zuru ni fundo se! Ma si ni banda guna, ma si kay mo batama kulu ra. Zuru ka to tondey do, zama i ma si araŋ tuusu.»

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

¹⁸ Amma Lotu ne i se: «Abada, manti yaadin no, ay koyo.

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.

¹⁹ Guna sohõ, ay, ni bannya du gomni ni jine. Ni na ni suujo kaŋ ni n'ay cabe beerandi, zama ni n'ay fundo hallasi. Amma ay si hin ka zuru ka to tondo za masiiba mana to ay, ay mo ga bu.

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.”

²⁰ Guna, kawye wo ga maan, a ga kayna mo. Ay ma zuru ka koy noodin, (manti ikayna no?), ay fundo mo ga funa.»

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.

²¹ Malayka ne a se: «Guna, ay yadda ni se woodin boŋ, hala mo ay si kawya kaŋ boŋ ni salaŋ din zeeri.

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.”

²² Ma waasu ka to noodin ka yana, zama ay si hin ka hay kulu te kala nda ni to noodin jina.» A se no i ne kawya wo se Zowar.

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

²³ Wayna goono ga fun laabo gaa waato kaŋ Lotu furo Zowar ra.

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

²⁴ Waato din gaa mo Rabbi na sufar* nda danji kaŋ fun beena ra Rabbi do dooru Saduma nda Gomorata boŋ.

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

²⁵ A na kwaarey din da batama kulu mo zeeri, da borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go kwaarey ra da goray, da haŋ kaŋ ga zay ka fun laabo ra mo.

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

²⁶ Amma Lotu wando zagu ka nga banda guna. A binde bare ka te ciiri tondi ka gusam.

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

²⁷ Susubay za da hinay Ibrahim ziji ka koy nango kaŋ nga kay Rabbi jine.

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.

²⁸ Kal a na Saduma nda Gomorata do haray guna, da laabo batama kulu mo. A di laabo dullo goono ga ziji mate kaŋ cine feema dullu ga te.

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.

²⁹ A go no, waato kaŋ Irikoy na batama kwaarey halaci, kal a fongu Ibrahim gaa. A na Lotu fattandi hasarawo ra, waato kaŋ a na kwaarey kaŋ yaŋ ra Lotu go da goray zeeri.

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.

³⁰ Lotu mo fatta Zowar ka kaaru ka goro tondey ra, nga nda nga ize way hinka nga banda, zama a ga humburu Zowar ra goray. A goro tondi guusu fo ra, nga nda nga ize way hinka.

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.

³¹ Kala ibeero ne ikayna se: «Iri baabo zeen, alboro si no mo ndunnya ra koyne kaŋ ga furo iri do ndunnya kulu alaadey boŋ.

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

³² Kala iri m'iri baabo haŋandi baji. Iri ma kani nd'a mo, zama iri ma dumi jisi iri baabo do.»

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.

³³ I na ngey baabo daŋ a ma baji haŋ cino din. Ibeero furo ka kani nda nga baabo. Amma baabo wo mana bay a kaniyaŋo gaa, sanku fa a tunyaŋo.

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.”

³⁴ A go no, a suba koyne, kala ibeero ne ikayna se: «A go, bi cin ay ya kani nd'ay baaba. Iri ma naŋ a ma baji haŋ koyne cino wo. Ni mo ma furo ka kani nd'a, hala iri ma dumi jisi iri baabo do.»

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.

³⁵ Kal i na ngey baabo haŋandi baji koyne cin woodin mo ra, ikayna mo koy ka kani nd'a. Amma baabo mana a kaniyaŋo bay, sanku fa a tunyaŋo.

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

³⁶ Yaadin cine no Lotu ize way hinka kulu na gunde sambu nd'a ngey baabo gaa.

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

³⁷ Ibeero hay ize aru k'a maa daŋ Mowab. Nga no ga ti Mowabancey baaba hala ka kaa hunkuna.

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

³⁸ Ikayna mo hay ize aru k'a maa daŋ Ben-Ammi. Nga no ga ti Amon izey baaba hala ka kaa hunkuna.
