Genesis 19

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
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.	1 فجاء الملاكان الى سدوم مساء وكان لوط جالسا في باب سدوم. فلما رآهما لوط قام لاستقبالهما وسجد بوجهه الى الارض.
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.”	2 وقال يا سيّديّ ميلا الى بيت عبدكما وبيتا واغسلا ارجلكما. ثم تبكران وتذهبان في طريقكما. فقالا لا بل في الساحة نبيت.
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.	3 فألحّ عليهما جدا. فمالا اليه ودخلا بيته. فصنع لهما ضيافة وخبز فطيرا فاكلا
4 But before they went to bed, the men of the city surrounded the house, from boys to old men, all the people together.	4 وقبلما اضطجعا احاط بالبيت رجال المدينة رجال سدوم من الحدث الى الشيخ كل الشعب من اقصاها.
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.”	5 فنادوا لوطا وقالوا له اين الرجلان اللذان دخلا اليك الليلة. اخرجهما الينا لنعرفهما.
6 Lot went out to them, and blocking the door behind him, he said:	6 فخرج اليهم لوط الى الباب واغلق الباب وراءه.
7 “Do not, I ask you, my brothers, do not be willing to commit this evil.	7 وقال لا تفعلوا شرا يا اخوتي.
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.”	8 هوذا لي ابنتان لم تعرفا رجلا. اخرجهما اليكم فافعلوا بهما كما يحسن في عيونكم. واما هذان الرجلان فلا تفعلوا بهما شيئا لانهما قد دخلا تحت ظل سقفي.
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.	9 فقالوا ابعد الى هناك. ثم قالوا جاء هذا الانسان ليتغرب وهو يحكم حكما. الآن نفعل بك شرا اكثر منهما. فألحّوا على الرجل لوط جدا وتقدموا ليكسروا الباب.
10 And behold, the men put out their hand, and they pulled Lot in to them, and they closed the door.	10 فمدّ الرجلان ايديهما وادخلا لوطا اليهما الى البيت واغلقا الباب.
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.	11 واما الرجال الذين على باب البيت فضرباهم بالعمى من الصغير الى الكبير. فعجزوا عن ان يجدوا الباب
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.	12 وقال الرجلان للوط من لك ايضا ههنا. اصهارك وبنيك وبناتك وكل من لك في المدينة اخرج من المكان.
13 For we will eliminate this place, because the outcry among them has increased before the Lord, who sent us to destroy them.”	13 لاننا مهلكان هذا المكان. اذ قد عظم صراخهم امام الرب فارسلنا الرب لنهلكه.
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.	14 فخرج لوط وكلم اصهاره الآخذين بناته وقال قوموا اخرجوا من هذا المكان. لان الرب مهلك المدينة. فكان كمازح في اعين اصهاره.
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.”	15 ولما طلع الفجر كان الملاكان يعجلان لوطا قائلين قم خذ امرأتك وابنتيك الموجودتين لئلا تهلك باثم المدينة.
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.	16 ولما توانى امسك الرجلان بيده وبيد امرأته وبيد ابنتيه لشفقة الرب عليه واخرجاه ووضعاه خارج المدينة.
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.”	17 وكان لما اخرجاهم الى خارج انه قال اهرب لحياتك. لا تنظر الى ورائك ولا تقف في كل الدائرة. اهرب الى الجبل لئلا تهلك.
18 And Lot said to them: “I beg you, my lord,	18 فقال لهما لوط لا يا سيد.
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.	19 هوذا عبدك قد وجد نعمة في عينيك وعظمت لطفك الذي صنعت اليّ باستبقاء نفسي. وانا لا اقدر ان اهرب الى الجبل. لعل الشر يدركني فاموت.
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?”	20 هوذا المدينة هذه قريبة للهرب اليها وهي صغيرة. اهرب الى هناك. أليست هي صغيرة. فتحيا نفسي.
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.	21 فقال له اني قد رفعت وجهك في هذا الامر ايضا ان لا اقلب المدينة التي تكلمت عنها.
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.	22 اسرع اهرب الى هناك. لاني لا استطيع ان افعل شيئا حتى تجيء الى هناك. لذلك دعي اسم المدينة صوغر
23 The sun had risen over the land, and Lot had entered into Zoar.	23 واذ اشرقت الشمس على الارض دخل لوط الى صوغر.
24 Therefore, the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah sulphur and fire, from the Lord, out of heaven.	24 فامطر الرب على سدوم وعمورة كبريتا ونارا من عند الرب من السماء.
25 And he overturned these cities, and all the surrounding region: all the inhabitants of the cities, and everything that springs from the land.	25 وقلب تلك المدن وكل الدائرة وجميع سكان المدن ونبات الارض.
26 And his wife, looking behind herself, was turned into a statue of salt.	26 ونظرت امرأته من وراءه فصارت عمود ملح
27 Then Abraham, rising up in the morning, in the place where he had stood before with the Lord,	27 وبكّر ابراهيم في الغد الى المكان الذي وقف فيه امام الرب.
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.	28 وتطلع نحو سدوم وعمورة ونحو كل ارض الدائرة ونظر واذا دخان الارض يصعد كدخان الاتون.
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.	29 وحدث لما اخرب الله مدن الدائرة ان الله ذكر ابراهيم وارسل لوطا من وسط الانقلاب. حين قلب المدن التي سكن فيها لوط
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.	30 وصعد لوط من صوغر وسكن في الجبل وابنتاه معه. لانه خاف ان يسكن في صوغر. فسكن في المغارة هو وابنتاه.
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.	31 وقالت البكر للصغيرة ابونا قد شاخ وليس في الارض رجل ليدخل علينا كعادة كل الارض.
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.”	32 هلم نسقي ابانا خمرا ونضطجع معه. فنحيي من ابينا نسلا.
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.	33 فسقتا اباهما خمرا في تلك الليلة. ودخلت البكر واضطجعت مع ابيها. ولم يعلم باضطجاعها ولا بقيامها.
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.”	34 وحدث في الغد ان البكر قالت للصغيرة اني قد اضطجعت البارحة مع ابي. نسقيه خمرا الليلة ايضا فادخلي اضطجعي معه. فنحيي من ابينا نسلا.
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.	35 فسقتا اباهما خمرا في تلك الليلة ايضا. وقامت الصغيرة واضطجعت معه. ولم يعلم باضطجاعها ولا بقيامها.
36 Therefore, the two daughters of Lot conceived by their father.	36 فحبلت ابنتا لوط من ابيهما.
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.	37 فولدت البكر ابنا ودعت اسمه موآب. وهو ابو الموآبيين الى اليوم.
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.	38 والصغيرة ايضا ولدت ابنا ودعت اسمه بن عمي. وهو ابو بني عمون الى اليوم
