| 1 فجاء الملاكان الى سدوم مساء وكان لوط جالسا في باب سدوم. فلما رآهما لوط قام لاستقبالهما وسجد بوجهه الى الارض. | 1 The two angels came to Sodom in the evening; and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and bowed himself with his face to the earth, |
| 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, "My lords, turn aside, I pray you, to your servant's house and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise up early and go on your way." They said, "No; we will spend the night in the street." |
| 3 فألحّ عليهما جدا. فمالا اليه ودخلا بيته. فصنع لهما ضيافة وخبز فطيرا فاكلا | 3 But he urged them strongly; so they turned aside to him and entered his house; and 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 lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house; |
| 5 فنادوا لوطا وقالوا له اين الرجلان اللذان دخلا اليك الليلة. اخرجهما الينا لنعرفهما. | 5 and they called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them." |
| 6 فخرج اليهم لوط الى الباب واغلق الباب وراءه. | 6 Lot went out of the door to the men, shut the door after him, |
| 7 وقال لا تفعلوا شرا يا اخوتي. | 7 and said, "I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly. |
| 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 Behold, I have two daughters who have not known man; let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you please; only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter 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, "Stand back!" And they said, "This fellow came to sojourn, and he would play the judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them." Then they pressed hard against the man Lot, and drew near to break the door. |
| 10 فمدّ الرجلان ايديهما وادخلا لوطا اليهما الى البيت واغلقا الباب. | 10 But the men put forth their hands and brought Lot into the house to 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 they struck with blindness the men who were at the door of the house, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves groping for the door. |
| 12 وقال الرجلان للوط من لك ايضا ههنا. اصهارك وبنيك وبناتك وكل من لك في المدينة اخرج من المكان. | 12 Then the men said to Lot, "Have you any one else here? Sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or any one you have in the city, bring them out of the place; |
| 13 لاننا مهلكان هذا المكان. اذ قد عظم صراخهم امام الرب فارسلنا الرب لنهلكه. | 13 for we are about to destroy this place, because the outcry against its people has become great before the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it." |
| 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 said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, "Up, get out of this place; for the LORD is about to destroy the city." But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting. |
| 15 ولما طلع الفجر كان الملاكان يعجلان لوطا قائلين قم خذ امرأتك وابنتيك الموجودتين لئلا تهلك باثم المدينة. | 15 When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city." |
| 16 ولما توانى امسك الرجلان بيده وبيد امرأته وبيد ابنتيه لشفقة الرب عليه واخرجاه ووضعاه خارج المدينة. | 16 But he lingered; so the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the LORD being merciful to him, and they brought him forth and set him outside the city. |
| 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 when they had brought them forth, they said, "Flee for your life; do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley; flee to the hills, lest you be consumed." |
| 18 فقال لهما لوط لا يا سيد. | 18 And Lot said to them, "Oh, no, my lords; |
| 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 behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life; but I cannot flee to the hills, lest the disaster overtake me, and I die. |
| 20 هوذا المدينة هذه قريبة للهرب اليها وهي صغيرة. اهرب الى هناك. أليست هي صغيرة. فتحيا نفسي. | 20 Behold, yonder city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there--is it not a little one?--and my life will be saved!" |
| 21 فقال له اني قد رفعت وجهك في هذا الامر ايضا ان لا اقلب المدينة التي تكلمت عنها. | 21 He said to him, "Behold, I grant you this favor also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken. |
| 22 اسرع اهرب الى هناك. لاني لا استطيع ان افعل شيئا حتى تجيء الى هناك. لذلك دعي اسم المدينة صوغر | 22 Make haste, escape there; for I can do nothing till you arrive there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. |
| 23 واذ اشرقت الشمس على الارض دخل لوط الى صوغر. | 23 The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar. |
| 24 فامطر الرب على سدوم وعمورة كبريتا ونارا من عند الرب من السماء. | 24 Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; |
| 25 وقلب تلك المدن وكل الدائرة وجميع سكان المدن ونبات الارض. | 25 and he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. |
| 26 ونظرت امرأته من وراءه فصارت عمود ملح | 26 But Lot's wife behind him looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. |
| 27 وبكّر ابراهيم في الغد الى المكان الذي وقف فيه امام الرب. | 27 And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD; |
| 28 وتطلع نحو سدوم وعمورة ونحو كل ارض الدائرة ونظر واذا دخان الارض يصعد كدخان الاتون. | 28 and he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the valley, and beheld, and lo, the smoke of the land went up like 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 So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt. |
| 30 وصعد لوط من صوغر وسكن في الجبل وابنتاه معه. لانه خاف ان يسكن في صوغر. فسكن في المغارة هو وابنتاه. | 30 Now Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the hills with his two daughters, for he was afraid to dwell in Zoar; so he dwelt in a cave with his two daughters. |
| 31 وقالت البكر للصغيرة ابونا قد شاخ وليس في الارض رجل ليدخل علينا كعادة كل الارض. | 31 And the first-born said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth. |
| 32 هلم نسقي ابانا خمرا ونضطجع معه. فنحيي من ابينا نسلا. | 32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve offspring through our father." |
| 33 فسقتا اباهما خمرا في تلك الليلة. ودخلت البكر واضطجعت مع ابيها. ولم يعلم باضطجاعها ولا بقيامها. | 33 So they made their father drink wine that night; and the first-born went in, and lay with her father; he did not know when she lay down or when she arose. |
| 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 on the next day, the first-born said to the younger, "Behold, I lay last night with my father; let us make him drink wine tonight also; then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring through our father." |
| 35 فسقتا اباهما خمرا في تلك الليلة ايضا. وقامت الصغيرة واضطجعت معه. ولم يعلم باضطجاعها ولا بقيامها. | 35 So they made their father drink wine that night also; and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose. |
| 36 فحبلت ابنتا لوط من ابيهما. | 36 Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father. |
| 37 فولدت البكر ابنا ودعت اسمه موآب. وهو ابو الموآبيين الى اليوم. | 37 The first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to 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 Ben-ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites to this day. |
