Genesis 19 (JUM)

1Aŋ malaŋŋi kä yewwe äätin baan mooye yen mä Caduum biigin ti aŋŋi, i Luut cääy äntüke yen baan mooye ti. Aŋ wääna malaŋŋi yooṭṭeeda kä ye, ike juwin ñaalok paakke aŋ ḍüŋjïn ïñï, aŋ waŋge kümjene ïñï ŋomgu gïtï.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,

2Aŋ ike jaajjin ogo, “Mügdoni yeeki, ääte paa ba' kiingon yeenic. Aŋ kïïgïc looke woo, aŋ ïkïïn nïïnïn tiññaŋ aŋ ikee murje woo kä tïṇṇäŋänä.” Aŋ iken luukcin ogo, “Ba'ay, ikoon bi nïïnon woo käpet.”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.”

3Aŋ ïïrï Luut ke gïmmene, aŋ wooyne ti baanne. Aŋ tutkene waak äämkä ḍiirken ke bïggï yaaka batta cääyge ti ŋimin ye, aŋ iken ämmä.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.

4I iken batta mor ootunu, ook muure yek baan mooye yen mä Caduum dürjï ke dänkä duurin än yeenen küürï ti.Before they had gone to bed, all the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, surrounded the house.

5Aŋ Luut yaawgä ogo, “Wali ook yaaka äätin baannü biigin ti tiññaŋ ye? Ickoon kä woo dalä nïïnon.”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!”

6Aŋ Luut kaaccä woo iken ti, aŋ äntüke üüljene ŋäñe ti.Lot went outside to meet them, shutting the door behind him.

7Aŋ jaajjin ogo, “Ba'ay, müggü yeeki, yiñ yaanna ŋana naŋde.“Please, my brothers,” he pleaded, “don’t do such a wicked thing!

8Däämme, ika cääyga ṭulgu kä yewwe yaaka kücï ook ye. Dale ken äcke kä woo, aŋ naŋe nääŋk'a daa ṭäkke naŋe daa kä ye. Ŋana ook yaakki naŋde nääŋkalaŋ, iken a wilgä yeeki aŋ tïïjä kä ika.”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.”

9Aŋ luugi ogo, “Wükcü woo päy yoono waŋ,” Aŋ iken jaajjin ogo, “Men yaanni äätin winni a boorgon, aŋ ṭäkï ïkïïn nüütkïtï nääŋka naŋtïn ye! Ïkï bi näŋgini yiñ käärcï woo kä iken.” I iken wüükïdï ti Luut ti atï ṭäkï äntüke liktä gïtï.“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.

10Aŋ malaŋŋi ïnken lajji woo, aŋ Luut guuŋi ti äräk aŋ äntüke üüljï.But the men inside reached out, pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.

11Aŋ ook muure yaaka yudok äntüke tük dürjï ke dänkä ye, uuyi waŋgin nuŋko ŋana äntüke kañte daa.And they struck the men at the entrance, young and old, with blindness, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the door.

12Aŋ malaŋŋi Luut taaji ogo, “Ïkï cääygi ŋaannä winni? Ïkï cääygi märäŋgünü, ke ooglen yüükü, ke tïïrïn yüükü, ke mä yüükü yakkalaŋ baan mooye jï winni? Äcci woo nänṭä yaanni ti.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,

13Ikoon ṭäkon nänṭä yaanni ḍüümon gïtï. Cïŋtäŋ yen yiñ mä baan yaanni ḍakkä ti Pïṭo ti, aŋ ikoon tuujonon ogo ḍüümjon gïtï.”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.”

14Aŋ Luut attä nüütkïdï märäŋgene yaaka a ḍüccïnï jiik ṭäkï ḍïjï ṭulge ye, aŋ kiinne ogo, “Kä bïraŋ juwe kaace woo nänṭä yaanni ti! Pïṭo baan mooye ṭäkke ḍüüme gïtï.” Aŋ iken ḍüücï ogo ike ñääyo ogo ñääyon.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.

15Aŋ wääna buur kääjenee kä ye, malaŋŋi Luut jüümï yok ogo, “Kä bïraŋ, ïïŋü koowu ke tïïrïn yüükü yaaka kä yewwe winni yaakki. Aŋ kaace woo tiññaŋŋi, nuŋko ikee cüccete woo ke baan naana jooññu ätä ye.”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.”

16Aŋ wääna Luut juugge riijjene kä ye, mügï malaŋŋi kä ïṇte aŋ iiŋe mügï kä ïṇte aŋ cäänna tïïrïn yeeke yaaka kä yewwe ye, müügï kä ïnken aŋ ici woo baan jï ṭeṭaŋ, nääŋka ängene daa ŋïngïn Pïṭo ye.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.

17Aŋ wääna äbene daa kä woo ye, kiini malak yaŋkalaŋ ogo, “Buurce woo üde, aŋ ŋana ikee däämmede ŋäjäk, aŋ ŋana ikee yuutcede ïñï nänṭä yaŋkalaŋ ti ḍääñgon jï. Lüüde nänṭä pämkä nuŋko ikee cüccete me woo!”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!”

18Aŋ kiini Luut ogo, “Ba'ay, kura Mügdoni yeeki.But Lot replied, “No, my lords, please!

19Kiingon yeenic käññä ŋerrä ikee ti aŋ ika nüütkana biilin yaana batta düüñïdï ye, kä daljin üṇṇü yeeni. Aŋ ika batta bi lïïṭä lüüdü nänṭä pämkä, nuŋko ika wäätta ŋäc jooññu aŋ ika tüwdü.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.

20Yooru, baan yaanni ike cokulaŋ ti, aŋ dalä ika lüüdü ike ti, aŋ ike cäänna ḍeeraŋ, tiiŋgaa dalä ika lüüdü nänṭä yaana ḍeeraŋ yaanja ti, nuŋko üdü kä.”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.”

21Aŋ kiini malak ogo, “Jiik yüükü yaaka kiinnaa kä yaakka gïmgänä, aŋ baan yaanna batta bi ḍüümü gïtï.“Very well,” he answered, “I will grant this request as well, and will not demolish the town you indicate.

22Kä bïraŋ, lüüdü nänṭä yaanja ti, ika batta bi lïïṭä näŋä ginkalaŋ i ïkï batta mor ḍakci ti.” Aŋ ina ken baan yaanna äkkene daa me ogo Coogaar yaanna ogo ḍeeḍoḍeet.Hurry! Run there quickly, for I cannot do anything until you reach it.” That is why the town was called Zoar.

23Aŋ Luut ḍakkä ti Coogaar i äŋ kääjïdï.And by the time the sun had risen over the land, Lot had reached Zoar.

24Aŋ Pïṭo puukin ïñï cägärey kä polloŋ jïnä Caduum ti ke Amuura.Then the LORD rained down sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens.

25Aŋ bänkä yaakca ḍüümme gïtï ke ḍääñgon ke m'aka cäyok bänkä gïtï ye, ke waak garkä yaaka a yülïn ye muure.Thus He destroyed these cities and the entire plain, including all the inhabitants of the cities and everything that grew on the ground.

26Aŋ iŋ Luut däämjin ŋäjäk, aŋ wäättä a taŋkuulu yen äyyä.But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

27Aŋ Abrayiim cuuyin kä tïṇṇäŋänä aŋ ḍukcin nänṭä yaana yuuttee kä Pïṭo ñome ti ye.Early the next morning, Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD.

28Aŋ ike däämjin ïñï taaŋŋä Caduum ke Amuura, ke taaŋŋä ḍääñgon ti, aŋ jiinä yooṭṭe ḍüüŋïdï ñaalok kä yaac ŋommañ jï, bata jiinä yek käälmaañ.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.

29Aŋ Jooŋ wääna bänkä mäyken yaaka cäyok ḍääñgon jï ye ḍüümmeeda kä gïtï ye, Abrayiim pajjene aŋ Luut määgene woo jooññu yaana näŋŋä ḍoŋe bänkä yaaka cääynee kä gïtï ye ti.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.

30Aŋ Luut booññu kä cäwdä Coogaar aŋ baŋŋä ke tïïrïn yeeke yaaka kä yew ye, aŋ attä cääjjin ṭuum pämkä gïtï.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.

31Aŋ nïïnnä yaŋkalaŋ ti tïïron yaana a kaygon ye, käwen ḍeerconḍe kiinne ogo, “Wäyo ḍuuŋdin, aŋ baati oon yaŋkalaŋ winni yaana ïkïï koowï ye, bata poñ yen me muure ŋommañ wic ye.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.

32Äätä wäyo nääkkï määk, aŋ wäättana ïkïï nïïnï ke ike aŋ wina ïkïi bi ääcï woo kaaynä wäyo ti.”Come, let us get our father drunk with wine so we can sleep with him and preserve his line.”

33Aŋ wïïrïn jïñe yaanja ti wäyen nääkki määk, aŋ tïïron yaana a kaygon ye kaaccä aŋ nïngïn ke wäyen. Aŋ nïïnjïn yaana nïïnjenee kä ke juwin yaana juwenee kä ye kucu wäyen.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.

34Aŋ tïṇṇäk aŋŋi tïïron yaana a kaygon ye, käwen ḍeerconḍe kiinne ogo, “Wïïrïn tiinuk ikoon nïïnnon ke wäyo, ŋocï nääkkï määk wïïrïn, aŋ ïkï kaacci nïïne ke ike nuŋko ääcii kä woo kaaynä wäyo ti.”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.”

35Aŋ wïïrïn jïñe yaanja ti wäyen ŋoci määtki määk, aŋ tïïron yeene ḍeerconḍe attä kaaccä nïïnnene. Aŋ nïïnjïn yaana nïïnjenee kä ke juwin yaana juwenee kä ye kucu wäyen.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.

36Aŋ Luut tïïrïn yeeke muuṭuk laacce.Thus both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.

37Aŋ kaygon giiṇṇä minneni oone aŋ äkkene ogo Muwaab. Aŋ ike ken a wäy yen mä Muwaab ke tiññaŋ.The older daughter gave birth to a son and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites of today.

38Aŋ tïïron ḍeerconḍe yeene giiṇṇä minneni oone cäänna, aŋ äkkene ogo Benaammi, aŋ ike ken a wäy yen mä Amüün ke tiññaŋ.The younger daughter also gave birth to a son, and she named him Ben-ammi. He is the father of the Ammonites of today.
