ΓΕΝΕΣΙΣ - Genesi - Genesis 19

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Ηλθον δε οι δυο αγγελοι εις τα Σοδομα το εσπερας? και εκαθητο ο Λωτ παρα την πυλην των Σοδομων? ιδων δε ο Λωτ, εσηκωθη εις συναντησιν αυτων και προσεκυνησεν επι προσωπον εως εδαφους?	1 And the two Angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting at the gate of the city. And when he had seen them, he rose up and went to meet them. And he reverenced prone on the ground.
2 και ειπεν, Ιδου, κυριοι μου, εκκλινατε, παρακαλω, προς την οικιαν του δουλου σας, και διανυκτερευσατε και πλυνατε τους ποδας σας? και σηκωθεντες πρωι, θελετε υπαγει εις την οδον σας? οι δε ειπον, Ουχι, αλλ' εν τη πλατεια θελομεν διανυκτερευσει.	2 And he said: “I beg you, my lords, turn aside to the house of your servant, and lodge there. Wash your feet, and in the morning you will advance on your way.” And they said, “Not at all. But we will lodge in the street.”
3 Αφου δε εβιασεν αυτους πολυ, εξεκλιναν προς αυτον και εισηλθον εις την οικιαν αυτου? και εκαμεν εις αυτους συμποσιον, και εψησεν αζυμα και εφαγον.	3 He pressed them very much to turn aside to him. And when they had entered his house, he made a feast for them, and he cooked unleavened bread, and they ate.
4 Πριν δε κοιμηθωσιν, οι ανδρες της πολεως, οι ανδρες των Σοδομων, περιεκυκλωσαν την οικιαν, νεοι και γεροντες, απας ο λαος ομου πανταχοθεν?	4 But before they went to bed, the men of the city surrounded the house, from boys to old men, all the people together.
5 και εκραζον προς τον Λωτ και ελεγον προς αυτον, Που ειναι οι ανδρες οι εισελθοντες προς σε την νυκτα; εκβαλε αυτους προς ημας, δια να γνωρισωμεν αυτους.	5 And they called out to Lot, and they said to him: “Where are the men who entered to you in the night? Bring them out here, so that we may know them.”
6 Εξηλθε δε ο Λωτ προς αυτους εις το προθυρον, και εκλεισε την θυραν οπισω αυτου,	6 Lot went out to them, and blocking the door behind him, he said:
7 και ειπε, Μη, αδελφοι μου, μη πραξητε τοιουτον κακον?	7 “Do not, I ask you, my brothers, do not be willing to commit this evil.
8 ιδου, εχω δυο θυγατερας αιτινες δεν εγνωρισαν ανδρα? να σας φερω λοιπον αυτας εξω? και καμετε εις αυτας, οπως φανη εις εσας αρεστον? μονον εις τους ανδρας τουτους μη πραξητε μηδεν, επειδη δια τουτο εισηλθον υπο την σκιαν της στεγης μου.	8 I have two daughters who as yet have not known man. I will bring them out to you; abuse them as it pleases you, provided that you do no evil to these men, because they have entered under the shadow of my roof.”
9 Οι δε ειπον, Φυγε απ' εκει. Και ειπον, ουτος ηλθε δια να παροικηση? θελει να γεινη και κριτης; τωρα θελομεν καποποιησει σε μαλλον παρα εκεινους. Και εβιαζον τον ανθρωπον τον Λωτ καθ' υπερβολην, και επλησιασαν δια να συντριψωσι την θυραν?	9 But they said, “Move away from there.” And again: “You have entered,” they said, “as a stranger; should you then judge? Therefore, we will afflict you yourself more than them.” And they acted very violently against Lot. And they were now at the point of breaking open the doors.
10 Εκτειναντες δε οι ανδρες τας χειρας αυτων εσυραν τον Λωτ προς εαυτους εις την οικιαν, και εκλεισαν την θυραν?	10 And behold, the men put out their hand, and they pulled Lot in to them, and they closed the door.
11 τους δε ανθρωπους, τους οντας εις την θυραν της οικιας, εκτυπησαν με αορασιαν απο μικρου εως μεγαλου, ωστε απεκαμον ζητουντες την θυραν.	11 And they struck those who were outside with blindness, from the least to the greatest, so that they were not able to find the door.
12 Και ειπον οι ανδρες προς τον Λωτ, Εχεις εδω αλλον τινα; γαμβρον υιους η θυγατερας η οντινα αλλον εχεις εν τη πολει, εξαγαγε αυτους εκ του τοπου?	12 Then they said to Lot: “Do you have here anyone of yours? All who are yours, sons-in-law, or sons, or daughters, bring them out of this city.
13 διοτι ημεις καταστρεφομεν τον τοπον τουτον, επειδη η κραυγη αυτων εμεγαλυνεν ενωπιον του Κυριου? και απεστειλεν ημας ο Κυριος δια να καταστρεψωμεν αυτον.	13 For we will eliminate this place, because the outcry among them has increased before the Lord, who sent us to destroy them.”
14 Εξηλθε λοιπον ο Λωτ και ελαλησε προς τους γαμβρους αυτου, τους μελλοντας να λαβωσι τας θυγατερας αυτου, και ειπε, Σηκωθητε, εξελθετε εκ του τοπου τουτου? διοτι καταστρεφει ο Κυριος την πολιν. Αλλ' εφανη εις τους γαμβρους αυτου ως αστειζομενος.	14 And so Lot, going out, spoke to his sons-in-law, who were going to receive his daughters, and he said: “Rise up. Depart from this place. For the Lord will destroy this city.” And it seemed to them that he was speaking playfully.
15 Και οτε εγεινεν αυγη, εβιαζον οι αγγελοι τον Λωτ, λεγοντες? Σηκωθητι, λαβε την γυναικα σου και τας δυο σου θυγατερας, τας ευρισκομενας εδω, δια να μη συναπολεσθης και συ εν τη ανομια της πολεως.	15 And when it was morning, the Angels compelled him, saying, “Arise, take your wife, and the two daughters that you have, lest you also should perish amid the wickedness of the city.”
16 Επειδη δε εβραδυνεν, οι ανδρες πιασαντες την χειρα αυτου και την χειρα της γυναικος αυτου και τας χειρας των δυο θυγατερων αυτου, διοτι εσπλαγχνισθη αυτον ο Κυριος, εξηγαγον αυτον και εθεσαν αυτον εξω της πολεως.	16 And, since he ignored them, they took his hand, and the hand of his wife, as well as that of his two daughters, because the Lord was sparing him.
17 Και οτε εξηγαγον αυτους εξω, ειπεν ο Κυριος, Διασωσον την ζωην σου? μη περιβλεψης οπισω σου, και μη σταθης καθ' ολην την περιχωρον? διασωθητι εις το ορος, δια να μη απολεσθης.	17 And they brought him out, and placed him beyond the city. And there they spoke to him, saying: “Save your life. Do not look not back. Neither should you stay in the entire surrounding region. But save yourself in the mountain, lest you also should perish.”
18 Και ειπεν ο Λωτ προς αυτους, Μη, παρακαλω, Κυριε?	18 And Lot said to them: “I beg you, my lord,
19 ιδου, ο δουλος σου ευρηκε χαριν ενωπιον σου, και εμεγαλυνας το ελεος σου, το οποιον εκαμες προς εμε, φυλαττων την ζωην μου? αλλ' εγω δεν θελω δυνηθη να διασωθω εις το ορος, μηπως με προφθαση το κακον και αποθανω?	19 though your servant has found grace before you, and you have magnified your mercy, which you have shown to me in saving my life, I cannot be saved on the mountain, lest perhaps some misfortune take hold of me and I die.
20 ιδου, παρακαλω, η πολις αυτη ειναι πλησιον ωστε να καταφυγω εκει, και ειναι μικρα? εκει, παρακαλω, να διασωθω? δεν ειναι μικρα; και θελει ζησει η ψυχη μου.	20 There is a certain city nearby, to which I can flee; it is a little one, and I will be saved in it. Is it not a modest one, and will not my soul live?”
21 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Κυριος, Ιδου, επηκουσα σου και εις το πραγμα τουτο, να μη καταστρεψω την πολιν, περι της οποιας ελαλησας?	21 And he said to him: “Behold, even now, I have heard your petitions about this, not to overturn the city on behalf of which you have spoken.
22 ταχυνον, διασωθητι εκει? διοτι δεν θελω δυνηθη να καμω ουδεν, εωσου φθασης εκει? δια τουτο εκαλεσε το ονομα της πολεως Σηγωρ.	22 Hurry and be saved there. For I cannot do anything until you enter there.” For this reason, the name of that city is called Zoar.
23 Ο ηλιος ανετειλεν επι την γην, οτε ο Λωτ εισηλθεν εις Σηγωρ.	23 The sun had risen over the land, and Lot had entered into Zoar.
24 Και εβρεξεν ο Κυριος επι τα Σοδομα και Γομορρα θειον και πυρ παρα Κυριου εκ του ουρανου?	24 Therefore, the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah sulphur and fire, from the Lord, out of heaven.
25 και κατεστρεψε τας πολεις ταυτας, και παντα τα περιχωρα και παντας τους κατοικους των πολεων και τα φυτα της γης.	25 And he overturned these cities, and all the surrounding region: all the inhabitants of the cities, and everything that springs from the land.
26 Αλλ' γυνη αυτου περιβλεψασα οπισθεν αυτου εγεινε στηλη αλατος.	26 And his wife, looking behind herself, was turned into a statue of salt.
27 Ο δε Αβρααμ σηκωθεις ενωρις το πρωι ηλθεν εις τον τοπον οπου ειχε σταθη ενωπιον του Κυριου?	27 Then Abraham, rising up in the morning, in the place where he had stood before with the Lord,
28 και βλεψας επι τα Σοδομα και Γομορρα και εφ' ολην την γην της περιχωρου, ειδε, και ιδου, ανεβαινε καπνος απο της γης, ως καπνος καμινου.	28 looked out toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and the entire land of that region. And he saw embers rising up from the land like smoke from a furnace.
29 Ουτω λοιπον, οτε ο Θεος κατεστρεψε τας πολεις της περιχωρου, ενεθυμηθη ο Θεος τον Αβρααμ, και εξαπεστειλε τον Λωτ εκ μεσου της καταστροφης, οτε κατεστρεψε τας πολεις, εις τας οποιας κατωκει ο Λωτ.	29 For when God overthrew the cities of that region, remembering Abraham, he freed Lot from the overthrow of the cities, in which he had dwelt.
30 Ανεβη δε ο Λωτ απο Σηγωρ και κατωκησεν εν τω ορει, και μετ' αυτου αι δυο θυγατερες αυτου, διοτι εφοβηθη να κατοικηση εν Σηγωρ? και κατωκησεν εν σπηλαιω, αυτος και αι δυο θυγατερες αυτου.	30 And Lot ascended from Zoar, and he stayed on the mountain, and likewise his two daughters with him, (for he was afraid to stay in Zoar) and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters with him.
31 Και ειπεν η πρεσβυτερα προς την νεωτεραν, Ο πατηρ ημων ειναι γερων, και ανθρωπος δεν ειναι επι της γης, δια να εισελθη προς ημας κατα την συνηθειαν πασης της γης?	31 And the elder said to the younger: “Our father is old, and no man remains in the land who can enter to us according to the custom of the whole world.
32 ελθε, ας ποτισωμεν τον πατερα, ημων οινον, και ας κοιμηθωμεν μετ' αυτου, και ας αναστησωμεν σπερμα εκ του πατρος ημων.	32 Come, let us inebriate him with wine, and let us sleep with him, so that we may be able to preserve offspring from our father.”
33 Εποτισαν λοιπον τον πατερα αυτων οινον κατ' εκεινην την νυκτα? και εισηλθεν η πρεσβυτερα και εκοιμηθη μετα του πατρος αυτης? και εκεινος δεν ενοησεν ουτε ποτε επλαγιασεν αυτη, και ποτε εσηκωθη.	33 And so they gave their father wine to drink that night. And the elder went in, and she slept with her father. But he did not perceive it, neither when his daughter lay down, nor when she rose up.
34 Και την επαυριον ειπεν η πρεσβυτερα προς την νεωτεραν, Ιδου, εγω εκοιμηθην χθες την νυκτα μετα του πατρος ημων? ας ποτισωμεν αυτον οινον και την νυκτα ταυτην, και εισελθουσα συ, κοιμηθητι μετ' αυτου, και ας αναστησωμεν σπερμα εκ του πατρος ημων.	34 Likewise, the next day, the elder said to the younger: “Behold, yesterday I slept with my father, let us give him wine to drink yet again this night, and you will sleep with him, so that we may save offspring from our father.”
35 Εποτισαν λοιπον και την νυκτα εκεινην τον πατερα αυτων οινον, και σηκωθεισα η νεωτερα, εκοιμηθη μετ' αυτου? και εκεινος δεν ενοησεν ουτε ποτε επλαγιασεν αυτη, και ποτε εσηκωθη.	35 And then they gave their father wine to drink that night also, and the younger daughter went in, and slept with him. And not even then did he perceive when she lay down, or when she rose up.
36 Και συνελαβον αι δυο θυγατερες του Λωτ εκ του πατρος αυτων.	36 Therefore, the two daughters of Lot conceived by their father.
37 Και εγεννησεν η πρεσβυτερα υιον και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Μωαβ? ουτος ειναι ο πατηρ των Μωαβιτων εως της σημερον.	37 And the elder gave birth to a son, and she called his name Moab. He is the father of the Moabites, even to the present day.
38 Εγεννησε δε και η νεωτερα υιον και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Βεν-αμμι? ουτος ειναι ο πατηρ των Αμμωνιτων εως της σημερον.	38 Likewise, the younger gave birth to a son, and she called his name Ammon, that is, ‘the son of my people.’ He is the father of the Ammonites, even today.
