Genesis 19 (BEO)

1Baloga, amo a:igele dunu aduna da Sodame moilai bai bagade logo holei amoga doaga:loba, Lode amo logo holei gadenene filasa:i esalebe ba:i. E da a:igele ba:loba, wa:legadole, elama asili begudui.Now the two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When Lot saw them, he got up to meet them, bowed facedown,

2E da elama amane sia:i, “Hina aduna! Na da alia hawa: hamosu dunu. Na diasuga misa! Alia emo dodofelalu, na diasuga golama. Hahabedafa, alia da wa:legadole, alia logoga masunu da defea. Be ela da bu adole i, “Hame mabu! Ania da gadili amo moilai gilisisu sogebi ganodini golamu.”and said, “My lords, please turn aside into the house of your servant; wash your feet and spend the night. Then you can rise early and go on your way.” “No,” they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.”

3Be Lode da gasawane elama sia:nanu, ela da ea diasuga sigi asi. Lode da ea hawa: hamosu dunu ema agi gobema, amola ha:i manu eno amo sofe misi dunuma ima:ne sia:i. Amo ha:i manu hamonanu, a:igele dunu da mai dagoi.But Lot insisted so strongly that they followed him into his house. He prepared a feast for them and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.

4Ela da golamusa: dawa:i galu, be hidadea Sodame dunu da diasu sisiga:i. Sodame dunu huluane, amo goi amola dunu da:i huluane gilisi.Before they had gone to bed, all the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, surrounded the house.

5Ilia da Lodema bagadewane wele sia:i, “Dunu da dia diasuga golamusa: misi da habila:? Gadili oule misa!” Sodame dunu da amo dunuma wadela:i adole lasu hou hamomusa: hanaiba:le, amane sia:i.They called out to Lot, saying, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Send them out to us so we can have relations with them!”

6Be Lode da gadili asili, logo ga:su amo ea baligidu ga:si dagoi.Lot went outside to meet them, shutting the door behind him.

7E da ilima amane sia:i, “Na:iyado! Na da dilima bagadewane edegesa! Amo wadela:i hou mae hamoma!“Please, my brothers,” he pleaded, “don’t do such a wicked thing!

8Na da uda mano aduna esala. Ela da dunuga hame dawa:digi. Na da ela gadili oule misini, dilima imunu da defea. Dilia da elama dilia hanai hamomu da defea. Be amo dunu aduna mae wadela:ma. Na da ela na diasuga aowasa. Na da ela gaga:mu da defea.”Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them to you, and you can do to them as you please. But do not do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.”

9Be ilia da Lodema amane sia:i, “Di da ga fi dunu fawane! Ninia logo mae ga:ma! Di da ninima olelemu da defea hame galebe. Di da ninia logo hedofasea, ninia da di baligiliwane wadela:mu.” Ilia da Lode fulifasilalu, misini, logo mugulumusa: dawa:i galu.“Get out of the way!” they replied. And they declared, “This one came here as a foreigner, and he is already acting like a judge! Now we will treat you worse than them.” And they pressed in on Lot and moved in to break down the door.

10Be a:igele sofe misi dunu aduna da lobolele, Lode amo diasu ganodini hiougili, logo ga:si dagoi.But the men inside reached out, pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.

11Amalalu, ela da amo Sodame dunu ilia si dofolesi dagoi. Ilia da logo ba:mu hamedeiwane ba:i.And they struck the men at the entrance, young and old, with blindness, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the door.

12Amalalu, amo dunu aduna da Lodema amane sia:i, “Di da fi dunu eno esalea, amo dunu mano, uda mano, bai, o fi dunu eno diasu ganodini esala, amo mugululi gadili masa:ne sia:ma.Then the two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—a son-in-law, your sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here,

13Ani da amo soge huluane wadela:mu galebe. Hina Gode da ilia wadela:i hou huluane nabi dagoi. E da ani Sodame moilai bai bagade wadela:musa: asunasi dagoi.”because we are about to destroy this place. For the outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that He has sent us to destroy it.”

14Amalalu, Lode da dunu amo da ea uda mano fa:no lamusa: sia:si dunu ilima asili, amane sia:i, “Hedolo! Moilai bai bagade yolesima! Hina Gode Bagade da amo soge gugunufinisimu!” Be ilia da ea sia: da gagaoui dunu ea sia: defele dawa:i galu.So Lot went out and spoke to the sons-in-law who were pledged in marriage to his daughters. “Get up,” he said. “Get out of this place, for the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.

15Eso maba amoga, a:igele dunu da Lode hedolo fisili masa:ne sia:i. Elea da amane sia:i, “Hedolo! Dia uda amola uda mano aduna oule asili, gadili masa. Moilai bai bagade da gugunufinisimu gala. Dilia bogosa:besa:le, hedolo masa!”At daybreak the angels hurried Lot along, saying, “Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city.”

16Lode da hedolo hame asi. Be Hina Gode da ema asigiba:le, a:igele dunu aduna da e, ea uda, amola ea uda mano aduna, amo lobolele, diasu yolesili, gadili oule asi.But when Lot hesitated, the men grabbed his hand and the hands of his wife and his two daughters. And they led them safely out of the city, because of the LORD’s compassion for them.

17Amalalu, a:igele dunu afae da amane sia:i, “Hedolodafa hobeale masa! Mae beba:ma amola umiga mae aligima! Dilia bogosa:besa:le, goumiga hobeale masa!”As soon as the men had brought them out, one of them said, “Run for your lives! Do not look back, and do not stop anywhere on the plain! Flee to the mountains, or you will be swept away!”

18Be Lode da amane sia:i, “Hame mabu, hina!But Lot replied, “No, my lords, please!

19Di da nama asigiba:le, na esalusu gaga:i dagoi. Be goumi da sedade. Amaiba:le, na da asili, goumiga mae doaga:le, soge wadela:mu da nama doaga:le, na da bogomu.Your servant has indeed found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness by sparing my life. But I cannot run to the mountains; the disaster will overtake me, and I will die.

20Amo moilai fonobahadi ba:ma! Amo da fonobahadi gadenei. Na da amoga masa:ne di sia:ma. Amo da moilai fonobahadi fawane. Amo ganodini na da gaga:su ba:mu.”Look, there is a town nearby where I can flee, and it is a small place. Please let me flee there—is it not a small place? Then my life will be saved.”

21A:igele da bu adole i, “Defea! Amo da defea! Na da amo moilai hame wadela:mu.“Very well,” he answered, “I will grant this request as well, and will not demolish the town you indicate.

22Be hedolo masa! Hehenama! Dia da amo moilaiga doaga:sea fawane soge wadela:mu.” Lode da amo moilai da fonobahadi sia:beba:le, ilia da amo moilaiga Soua (fonobahadi) dio asuli.Hurry! Run there quickly, for I cannot do anything until you reach it.” That is why the town was called Zoar.

23Lode da Soua moilaiga doaga:loba, eso heda:lebe ba:i.And by the time the sun had risen over the land, Lot had reached Zoar.

24Amalalu, Hina Gode da lalu amola gia:i igi gibu agoane Sodame amola Goumola amo moilai bai bagade elama iasi.Then the LORD rained down sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens.

25Amo moilai bai bagade aduna, umi soge huluane, dunu fi, gisi amola ifa huluane da gugunufinisi dagoi, hamedafa ba:i.Thus He destroyed these cities and the entire plain, including all the inhabitants of the cities and everything that grew on the ground.

26Be Lode ea uda da logoga beba:beba:le, e da bogole, sali gelo ifa agoai lelebe ba:i.But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

27Amalalu, hahabedafa, A:ibalaha:me da wa:legadole, asili, sogebi amoga e amola Hina Gode da gilisili sia: dasu amoga doaga:i.Early the next morning, Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD.

28E da ba:le gaidili, umi soge bagade, Sodame amola Goumola ela sogebi ba:lalu. Be mobi bagade amo da gobele nasu bagade ea mobi defele, amo fawane ba:i.He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and all the land of the plain, and he saw the smoke rising from the land like smoke from a furnace.

29Amaiba:le, Gode da umi soge moilai bai bagade gugunufinisi galu, E da A:ibalaha:me amo dawa:i galu. E da Lode esaloma:ne gadili oule asi. Be Lode ea esalu moilai bai bagade, E da wadela:lesi dagoi.So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, He remembered Abraham, and He brought Lot out of the catastrophe that destroyed the cities where he had lived.

30Lode amola idiwi a:fini aduna da beda:iba:le, Soua moilai yolesili, goumi soge ganodini fi esalu. Ilia da magufu gele gelabo amo ganodini esalu.Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains—for he was afraid to stay in Zoar—where they lived in a cave.

31Eso afaega, magobo uda mano da ea eya ema amane sia:i, “Ani ada da da:i hamoi dagoi. Guiguda: da dunu amo osobo bagade dunu huluane ilia hou defele, anima gilisili golamu da hamedei.One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man in the land to sleep with us, as is the custom over all the earth.

32Amaiba:le, ania da adama waini hano imunu. E da amo nasea, feloale hamosea, ania da ema gilisili golamu. Mano lasea, ninia fi da hame udumu.”Come, let us get our father drunk with wine so we can sleep with him and preserve his line.”

33Amo gasia, ela da waini hano amo edama i. Amalalu, magobo uda mano da asili edama gilisili golai. Be Lode da waini hano ba:ibale, ea mano ema misi, amola e wa:legadoi amo hame dawa:i.So that night they got their father drunk with wine, and the firstborn went in and slept with her father; he was not aware when she lay down or when she got up.

34Aya amo magobo uda mano da eya ema amane sia:i, “Aya gasia na da adama gilisili golai. Wali gasia ani da eno ema waini hano imunu amola di ema gilisili golama. Amalalu, ninia fi da hame udumu.”The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Look, I slept with my father last night. Let us get him drunk with wine again tonight so you can go in and sleep with him and we can preserve our father’s line.”

35Amalalu, gasia, ela da Lodema waini hano i. Magobo bagia uda mano da asili, edama gilisili golai. Amo gasia amola, Lode da ea mano ema misini, bu wa:legadoi, hame dawa:i galu.So again that night they got their father drunk with wine, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him; he was not aware when she lay down or when she got up.

36Amaiba:le, Lode ea uda mano aduna da eda hamoiba:le, abula agui ba:i.Thus both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.

37Magobo uda mano da dunu mano lai. E da amoma Moua:be dio asuli. Moua:be da Moua:be dunu fi ilima eda esalu.The older daughter gave birth to a son and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites of today.

38Magobo bagia uda mano amola da dunu mano lai. E da ema Benami dio asuli. Benami ea lalelegei fi da wali esalebe A:monaide fi.The younger daughter also gave birth to a son, and she named him Ben-ammi. He is the father of the Ammonites of today.
