Genesi (تكوين) 19

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 فجاء الملاكان الى سدوم مساء وكان لوط جالسا في باب سدوم. فلما رآهما لوط قام لاستقبالهما وسجد بوجهه الى الارض.	1 And the two angels came to Sodom ii in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of the city. And seeing them, he rose up and went to meet them: and worshipped prostrate to the ground,
2 وقال يا سيّديّ ميلا الى بيت عبدكما وبيتا واغسلا ارجلكما. ثم تبكران وتذهبان في طريقكما. فقالا لا بل في الساحة نبيت.	2 And said: I beseech you, my lords, turn in to the house of your servant, and lodge there: wash your feet, and in the morning you shall go on your way. And they said: No, but we will abide in the street.
3 فألحّ عليهما جدا. فمالا اليه ودخلا بيته. فصنع لهما ضيافة وخبز فطيرا فاكلا	3 He pressed them very much to turn in unto him: and when they were come in to his house, he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread and they ate:
4 وقبلما اضطجعا احاط بالبيت رجال المدينة رجال سدوم من الحدث الى الشيخ كل الشعب من اقصاها.	4 But before they went to bed, the men of the city beset the house both young and old, all the people together.
5 فنادوا لوطا وقالوا له اين الرجلان اللذان دخلا اليك الليلة. اخرجهما الينا لنعرفهما.	5 And they called Lot, and said to him: Where are the men that came in to thee at night? bring them out hither that we may know them:
6 فخرج اليهم لوط الى الباب واغلق الباب وراءه.	6 Lot went out to them, and shut the door after him, and said:
7 وقال لا تفعلوا شرا يا اخوتي.	7 no not so, I beseech you, my brethren, do not commit this evil.
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.	8 I have two daughters who as yet have not known man : I will bring them out to you, and abuse you them as it shall please you, so that you do no evil to these men, because they are come in under the shadow of my roof.
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.	9 But they said: Get thee back thither. And again: Thou camest in, said they, as a, stranger, was it to be a judge? therefore we will afflict thee more than them. 0 And they pressed very violently upon Lot: and they were even at the point of breaking open the doors.
10 فمدّ الرجلان ايديهما وادخلا لوطا اليهما الى البيت واغلقا الباب.	10 And behold the men put out their hand, and drew in Lot unto them, and shut the door:
11 واما الرجال الذين على باب البيت فضرباهم بالعمى من الصغير الى الكبير. فعجزوا عن ان يجدوا الباب	11 And them that were without, p they struck with blindness from the least to the greatest, so that they could not find the door.
12 وقال الرجلان للوط من لك ايضا ههنا. اصهارك وبنيك وبناتك وكل من لك في المدينة اخرج من المكان.	12 And they said to Lot: Hast thou here ally of thine? son in law, or sons, or daughters, all that are thine bring them out of this city:
13 لاننا مهلكان هذا المكان. اذ قد عظم صراخهم امام الرب فارسلنا الرب لنهلكه.	13 For we will destroy this place, because their cry is grown loud before the Lord, who hath sent us to destroy them.
14 فخرج لوط وكلم اصهاره الآخذين بناته وقال قوموا اخرجوا من هذا المكان. لان الرب مهلك المدينة. فكان كمازح في اعين اصهاره.	14 So Lot went out, and spoke to his sons in law that were to have his daughters, and said : Arise : get you out of this place, because the Lord will destroy this city. And he seemed to them to speak as it were in jest.
15 ولما طلع الفجر كان الملاكان يعجلان لوطا قائلين قم خذ امرأتك وابنتيك الموجودتين لئلا تهلك باثم المدينة.	15 And when it wasmorning, the angels pressed him, saying: Arise, take thy wife, and the two daughters which thou hast: lest thou also perish in the wickedness of the city.
16 ولما توانى امسك الرجلان بيده وبيد امرأته وبيد ابنتيه لشفقة الرب عليه واخرجاه ووضعاه خارج المدينة.	16 And as he lingered, they took his hand, and the hand of his wife, and of his two daughters, because the Lord spared him.
17 وكان لما اخرجاهم الى خارج انه قال اهرب لحياتك. لا تنظر الى ورائك ولا تقف في كل الدائرة. اهرب الى الجبل لئلا تهلك.	17 And they brought him forth, and set him without the city: and there they spoke to him, saying : Save thy life : look not back, neither stay thou in all the country about: but save thyself in the mountain, lest thou be also consumed.
18 فقال لهما لوط لا يا سيد.	18 And Lot said to them: I beseech thee my Lord,
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.	19 Because thy servant hath found grace before thee, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewn to me, in saving my life, and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil seize me, and I die :
20 هوذا المدينة هذه قريبة للهرب اليها وهي صغيرة. اهرب الى هناك. أليست هي صغيرة. فتحيا نفسي.	20 There is this city here at hand, to which I may flee, it is a little one, and I shall be saved in it: is it not a little one, and my soul shall live?
21 فقال له اني قد رفعت وجهك في هذا الامر ايضا ان لا اقلب المدينة التي تكلمت عنها.	21 And he said to him: Behold also in this, I have heard thy prayers, not to destroy the city for which thou hast spoken.
22 اسرع اهرب الى هناك. لاني لا استطيع ان افعل شيئا حتى تجيء الى هناك. لذلك دعي اسم المدينة صوغر	22 Make haste and be saved there, because I cannot do any thing till thou go in thither. Therefore the name of that city was called Segor.
23 واذ اشرقت الشمس على الارض دخل لوط الى صوغر.	23 The sun was risen upon the earth, and Lot entered into Segor.
24 فامطر الرب على سدوم وعمورة كبريتا ونارا من عند الرب من السماء.	24 And the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.
25 وقلب تلك المدن وكل الدائرة وجميع سكان المدن ونبات الارض.	25 And he destroyed these cities, and all the country about, all the inhabitants of the cities, and all things that spring from the earth.
26 ونظرت امرأته من وراءه فصارت عمود ملح	26 And his wife looking behind her, was turned into a statue of salt.
27 وبكّر ابراهيم في الغد الى المكان الذي وقف فيه امام الرب.	27 And Abraham got up early in the morning and in the place where he had stood before with the Lord, U
28 وتطلع نحو سدوم وعمورة ونحو كل ارض الدائرة ونظر واذا دخان الارض يصعد كدخان الاتون.	28 He looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha, and the whole land of that country: and he saw the ashes rise up from the earth as the smoke of a furnace.
29 وحدث لما اخرب الله مدن الدائرة ان الله ذكر ابراهيم وارسل لوطا من وسط الانقلاب. حين قلب المدن التي سكن فيها لوط	29 Now when God destroyed the cities of that country, remembering Abraham, he delivered Lot out of the destruction of the cities wherein he had dwelt.
30 وصعد لوط من صوغر وسكن في الجبل وابنتاه معه. لانه خاف ان يسكن في صوغر. فسكن في المغارة هو وابنتاه.	30 And Lot went up out of Segor, and abode in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, (for he was afraid to stay in Segor,) and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters with him.
31 وقالت البكر للصغيرة ابونا قد شاخ وليس في الارض رجل ليدخل علينا كعادة كل الارض.	31 And the elder said to the younger Our father is old, and there is no man left on the earth, to come in unto us after the manner of the whole earth.
32 هلم نسقي ابانا خمرا ونضطجع معه. فنحيي من ابينا نسلا.	32 Come, let us make him drunk with wine, and let us lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
33 فسقتا اباهما خمرا في تلك الليلة. ودخلت البكر واضطجعت مع ابيها. ولم يعلم باضطجاعها ولا بقيامها.	33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the elder went in and lay with her father : but he perceived not neither when his daughter lay down, nor when she rose up.
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.	34 And the next day the elder said to the younger : Behold I lay last night with my father, let us make him drink wine also to night, and thou shalt lie with him, that we may save seed of our father.
35 فسقتا اباهما خمرا في تلك الليلة ايضا. وقامت الصغيرة واضطجعت معه. ولم يعلم باضطجاعها ولا بقيامها.	35 They made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in, and lay with him: and neither then did he perceive when she lay down, nor when she rose up.
36 فحبلت ابنتا لوط من ابيهما.	36 the two daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
37 فولدت البكر ابنا ودعت اسمه موآب. وهو ابو الموآبيين الى اليوم.	37 And the elder bore a son, and called his name Moab: he is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
38 والصغيرة ايضا ولدت ابنا ودعت اسمه بن عمي. وهو ابو بني عمون الى اليوم	38 The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ammon, that is, the son of my people: he is the father of the Ammonites unto this day.
