| [1]And the two angels came to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom; and Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them; and he fell down on his face to the earth; |
[1]And in the evening there came two angels to Sodom: and Lot sat at the gate of Sodom, and Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face to the ground. |
| [2]And he said: 'Behold now, my lords, turn aside, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your way.' And they said: 'Nay; but we will abide in the broad place all night.' |
[2]And he said, See my Lords, I pray you turn in now into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early and go your ways. Who said, Nay, but we will abide in the street all night. |
| [3]And he urged them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat. |
[3]Then he pressed upon them earnestly, and they turned in to him, and came to his house, and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat. |
| [4]But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both young and old, all the people from every quarter. |
[4]But before they went to bed, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom compassed the house round about from the young to the old, all the people from all quarters. |
| [5]And they called unto Lot, and said unto him: 'Where are the men that came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.' |
[5]Who crying unto Lot said to him, Where are the men, which came to thee this night? Bring them out unto us that we may know them. |
| [6]And Lot went out unto them to the door, and shut the door after him. |
[6]Then Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, |
| [7]And he said: 'I pray you, my brethren, do not so wickedly. |
[7]And said, I pray you, my brethren, do not so wickedly. |
| [8]Behold now, I have two daughters that have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes; only unto these men do nothing; forasmuch as they are come under the shadow of my roof.' |
[8]Behold now, I have two daughters, which have not known man: them will I bring out now unto you, and do to them as seemeth you good: only unto these men do nothing: for therefore are they come under the shadow of my roof. |
| [9]And they said: 'Stand back.' And they said: 'This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs play the judge; now will we deal worse with thee, than with them.' And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and drew near to break the door. |
[9]Then they said, Away hence, and they said, He is come alone as a stranger, and shall he judge and rule? We will now deal worse with thee than with them. So they pressed sore upon Lot himself, and came to break the door. |
| [10]But the men put forth their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and the door they shut. |
[10]But the men put forth their hand and pulled Lot into the house to them and shut to the door. |
| [11]And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great; so that they wearied themselves to find the door. |
[11]Then they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness both small and great, so that they were weary in seeking the door. |
| [12]And the men said unto Lot: 'Hast thou here any besides? son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whomsoever thou hast in the city; bring them out of the place; |
[12]Then the men said unto Lot, Whom hast thou yet here? Either son in law, or thy sons, or thy daughters, or whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring it out of this place. |
| [13]For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxed great before 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; and 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 hath sent us to destroy it.' |
[13]For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is great before the Lord, and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it. |
| [14]And Lot went out, and spoke unto hi sons-in-law, who married his daughters, and said: 'Up, get you out of this place; for 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 will destroy the city.' But he seemed unto his sons-in-law as one that jested. |
[14]Then Lot went out and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Arise, get you out of this place: for the Lord will destroy the city: but he seemed to his sons in law as though he had mocked. |
| [15]And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying: 'Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters that are here; lest thou be swept away in the iniquity of the city.' |
[15]And when the morning arose, the angels hasted Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife and thy two daughters which are here, lest thou be destroyed in the punishment of the city. |
| [16]But he lingered; and the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 being merciful unto him. And they brought him forth, and set him without the city. |
[16]And as he prolonged the time, the men caught both him and his wife, and his two daughters by the hands (the Lord being merciful unto him) and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. |
| [17]And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said: 'Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the Plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be swept away.' |
[17]And when they had brought them out, the angel said, Escape for thy life: look not behind thee, neither tarry thou in all the plain escape into the mountain, lest thou be destroyed. |
| [18]And Lot said unto them: 'Oh, not so, my lord; |
[18]And Lot said unto them, Not so, I pray thee, my Lord. |
| [19]Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shown unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest the evil overtake me, and I die. |
[19]Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast showed unto me in saving my life: and I cannot escape in the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die. |
| [20]Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one; oh, let me escape thither—is it not a little one?—and my soul shall live.' |
[20]See now this city hereby to flee unto, which is a little one: Oh let me escape thither: is it not a little one, and my soul shall live? |
| [21]And he said unto him: 'See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which thou hast spoken. |
[21]Then he said unto him, Behold, I have received thy request also concerning this thing, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken. |
| [22]Hasten thou, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither.'—Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.— |
[22]Haste thee, save thee there: for I can do nothing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. |
| [23]The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot came unto Zoar. |
[23]The sun did rise upon the earth, when Lot entered into Zoar. |
| [24]Then 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 caused to rain upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 out of heaven; |
[24]Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone, and fire from the Lord out of heaven, |
| [25]And He overthrow those cities, and all the Plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. |
[25]And overthrew those cities and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities; and that that grew upon the earth. |
| [26]But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. |
[26]Now his wife behind him looked back, and was turned into a pillar of salt. |
| [27]And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
[27]And Abraham rising up early in the morning went to the place, where he had stand before the Lord, and looking toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the plain: |
| [28]And he looked out toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the Plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace. |
[28]Behold, he saw the smoke of the land mounting up as the smoke of a furnace. |
| [29]And 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. |
[29]But yet when God destroyed the cities of the plain, God thought upon Abraham, and sent Lot out from the midst of the destruction, when he overthrew the cities, wherein Lot dwelled. |
| [30]And Lot went up out of 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. |
[30]Then Lot went up from Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain with his two daughters: for he feared to tarry in Zoar, but dwelt in a cave, he, and his two daughters. |
| [31]And the first-born said unto the younger: 'Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth. |
[31]And the elder said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth. |
| [32]Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.' |
[32]Come, we will make our father drink wine, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. |
| [33]And they made their father drink wine that night. And the first-born went in, and lay with her father; and he knew not when she lay down, nor when she arose. |
[33]So they made their father drink wine that night, and the elder went and lay with her father: but he perceived not, neither when she lay down, neither when she rose up. |
| [34]And it came to pass on the morrow, that the first-born said unto the younger: 'Behold, I lay yesternight with my father. Let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.' |
[34]And on the morrow the elder said to the younger, Behold, yester night lay I with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also, and go thou and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. |
| [35]And they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose, and lay with him; and he knew not when she lay down, nor when she arose. |
[35]So they made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger arose, and lay with him, but he perceived not, when she lay down, neither when she rose up. |
| [36]Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. |
[36]Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. |
| [37]And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab—the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day. |
[37]And the elder bear a son, and she called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day. |
| [38]And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi—the same is the father of the children Ammon unto this day. |
[38]And the younger bear a son also, and she called his name Ben-ammi: the same is the father of the Ammonites unto this day. |
