| [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. |
[1]And two of the messengers come towards Sodom at even, and Lot is sitting at the gate of Sodom, and Lot seeth, and riseth to meet them, and boweth himself -- face to the earth, |
| [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. |
[2]and he saith, `Lo, I pray you, my lords, turn aside, I pray you, unto the house of your servant, and lodge, and wash your feet -- then ye have risen early and gone on your way;' and they say, `Nay, but in the broad place we do lodge.' |
| [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. |
[3]And he presseth on them greatly, and they turn aside unto him, and come in unto his house; and he maketh for them a banquet, and hath baked unleavened things; and they do eat. |
| [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. |
[4]Before they lie down, the men of the city -- men of Sodom -- have come round about against the house, from young even unto aged, all the people from the extremity; |
| [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. |
[5]and they call unto Lot and say to him, `Where [are] the men who have come in unto thee to-night? bring them out unto us, and we know them.' |
| [6]Then Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, |
[6]And Lot goeth out unto them, to the opening, and the door hath shut behind him, |
| [7]And said, I pray you, my brethren, do not so wickedly. |
[7]and saith, `Do not, I pray you, my brethren, do evil; |
| [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. |
[8]lo, I pray you, I have two daughters, who have not known any one; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do to them as [is] good in your eyes; only to these men do not anything, for therefore have they come in within the shadow of my roof.' |
| [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. |
[9]And they say, `Come nigh hither;' they say also, `This one hath come in to sojourn, and he certainly judgeth! now, we do evil to thee more than [to] them;' and they press against the man, against Lot greatly, and come nigh to break the door. |
| [10]But the men put forth their hand and pulled Lot into the house to them and shut to the door. |
[10]And the men put forth their hand, and bring in Lot unto them, into the house, and have shut 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. |
[11]and the men who [are] at the opening of the house they have smitten with blindness, from small even unto great, and they weary themselves to find the opening. |
| [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. |
[12]And the men say unto Lot, `Whom hast thou here still? son-in-law, thy sons also, and thy daughters, and all whom thou hast in the city, bring out from this place; |
| [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. |
[13]for we are destroying this place, for their cry hath been great [before] the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah doth send us to destroy it.' |
| [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. |
[14]And Lot goeth out, and speaketh unto his sons-in-law, those taking his daughters, and saith, `Rise, go out from this place, for Jehovah is destroying the city;' and he is as [one] mocking in the eyes of his sons-in-law. |
| [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. |
[15]And when the dawn hath ascended, then the messengers press upon Lot, saying, `Rise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters who are found present, lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of 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. |
[16]And he lingereth, and the men lay hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters, through the mercy of Jehovah unto him, and they bring him out, and cause him to rest without the city. |
| [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. |
[17]And it cometh to pass when he hath brought them out without, that he saith, `Escape for thy life; look not expectingly behind thee, nor stand thou in all the circuit; to the mountain escape, lest thou be consumed.' |
| [18]And Lot said unto them, Not so, I pray thee, my Lord. |
[18]And Lot saith 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 showed unto me in saving my life: and I cannot escape in the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die. |
[19]lo, I pray thee, thy servant hath found grace in thine eyes, and thou dost make great thy kindness which thou hast done with me by saving my life, and I am unable to escape to the mountain, lest the evil cleave [to] me, and I have died; |
| [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? |
[20]lo, I pray thee, this city [is] near to flee thither, and it [is] little; let me escape, I pray thee, thither, (is it not little?) and my soul doth live.' |
| [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. |
[21]And he saith unto him, `Lo, I have accepted thy face also for this thing, without overthrowing the city [for] which thou hast spoken; |
| [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. |
[22]haste, escape thither, for I am not able to do anything till thine entering thither;' therefore hath he calleth the name of the city Zoar. |
| [23]The sun did rise upon the earth, when Lot entered into Zoar. |
[23]The sun hath gone out on the earth, and Lot hath entered into Zoar, |
| [24]Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone, and fire from the Lord out of heaven, |
[24]and Jehovah hath rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah, from the heavens; |
| [25]And overthrew those cities and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities; and that that grew upon the earth. |
[25]and He overthroweth these cities, and all the circuit, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which is shooting up from the ground. |
| [26]Now his wife behind him looked back, and was turned into a pillar of salt. |
[26]And his wife looketh expectingly from behind him, and she is -- a pillar of salt! |
| [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: |
[27]And Abraham riseth early in the morning, unto the place where he hath stood [before] the face of Jehovah; |
| [28]Behold, he saw the smoke of the land mounting up as the smoke of a furnace. |
[28]and he looketh on the face of Sodom and Gomorrah, and on all the face of the land of the circuit, and seeth, and lo, the smoke of the land went up as smoke of the furnace. |
| [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. |
[29]And it cometh to pass, in God's destroying the cities of the circuit, that God remembereth Abraham, and sendeth Lot out of the midst of the overthrow in the overthrowing of the cities in which Lot dwelt. |
| [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. |
[30]And Lot goeth up out of Zoar, and dwelleth in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, for he hath been afraid of dwelling in Zoar, and he dwelleth in a cave, he and his two daughters. |
| [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. |
[31]And the first-born saith unto the younger, `Our father [is] old, and a man there is not in the earth to come in unto us, as [is] the way of all the earth; |
| [32]Come, we will make our father drink wine, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. |
[32]come, we cause our father to drink wine, and lie with him, and preserve from our father -- a seed.' |
| [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. |
[33]And they cause their father to drink wine on that night; and the first-born goeth in, and lieth with her father, and he hath not known in her lying down, or in her rising up. |
| [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. |
[34]And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the first-born saith unto the younger, `Lo, I have lain yesterday-night with my father: we cause him to drink wine also to-night, and go thou in, lie with him, and we preserve from our father -- a seed.' |
| [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. |
[35]And they cause their father to drink wine on that night also, and the younger riseth and lieth with him, and he hath not known in her lying down, or in her rising up. |
| [36]Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. |
[36]And the two daughters of Lot conceive from their father, |
| [37]And the elder bear a son, and she called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day. |
[37]and the first-born beareth a son, and calleth his name Moab; he [is] father of Moab 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. |
[38]as to the younger, she also hath born a son, and calleth his name Ben-Ammi: he [is] father of the Beni-Ammon unto this day. |
