Genesis 19 (LGA)

1Ego na veveluna qai kamu pa sodomu sa karu mateana ko totonai i Loti sa sa korapa toqona pa atakamana na bara totomena na gugusu lavata. Totonai sa batiria, poni sa gasa turu ko sa lao gosororia beto sa titi opo gore pa peso.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,

2Beto pira sauniria, <<Koi! Karu qua bangara,>> <<Bu gabala lame mai tu pa ruma taqu. Mu boka loqaria na nenemiu, mu vajola bongi mai tu beto na vuvugei jonga mutu mu iolo riu,>> sau sisa. Ba pira tu qarigu sira karu, <<Dai!>> <<Pa kakabarena tu na ia susuverena me puta,>> qarigu.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.”

3Ba sa tepa totokaria tugu i Loti sira karu ko qai tutia lao pa nona ruma ko sa vatana vaniria na tetekuna, sa parugu bereti kepore isitina beto sa qai teteku.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.

4Tonai qai oqoro kole pa lovu poni doruna marene pa doru kokobu ia pa gugusu lavata pa Sodomu- ikete lavata sa qai idi vailivutainia sa na ruma.Before they had gone to bed, all the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, surrounded the house.

5Beto qai kukua si Loti, pira qarigunia, Pai sira na marene qai kamu tamu pa bongi api? Mu vavotu vanigei ko me puta tavitiria, qarigu.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!”

6Poni i Loti sa votu kamuria pa peguru beto sa pateia sa na atakamana pa ligunaLot went outside to meet them, shutting the door behind him.

7beto pira sau, <<Koi muke vei, ka visa qua baere. Muke roitinia na sakasa ikikerena api.“Please, my brothers,” he pleaded, “don’t do such a wicked thing!

8Dotu, pira karu tuqu maqota ara qai oqoro laoa kai marene. Ma toni votu vanigou ko agou gu qu gigilai ai muna roiti veiniria. Goto ira gu na tinoni pira sa muke kotiria ura qai kole pa kopu taqu,>> sauniria.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.”

9Ba pira tu qarigu sira, <<Balau! Muke suqutugei,>> qarigu. Beto qai paranga, <<Na tinoni le alepi sa na kamuna gu lani vei na tinoni karovona ba kopira sa nyogua lalaenigita gita! Ao tu sa mene vakilasa vatatalego agei jolaniria ira inara,>> qarigunia. Qai kole tototepia si Loti beto qai sasuru lao ko mai piaria sa na atakamana qarigu.“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.

10Ba ira karu tinoni pa leo ruma sa qai kaqama votunia na limadi ko qai bako tomenia si Loti beto qai pateia sa na atakamana.But the men inside reached out, pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.

11Beto ko qai tapala valeqa paleniria sira na tinoni, ikete lavata qai turu pa atakamana ko qaike batia sa na atakamana.And they struck the men at the entrance, young and old, with blindness, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the door.

12Beto karu tinoni qai paranga lao tai Loti, pira qarigu, <<Kaki mule tamu qai korapa lani- na roamu marene, na tumu marene, na tumu rereko babi kaki mule pa leona na gugusu lavata qu isongoria ao? Mu toni votuniria pa ia api,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,

13ura korapa me piaria agei sa na ia api qeu. Na tinajutu sa kamu ti Iahova qai tajutunia ira na tinoni lani sa, sa jola pa pada ko sa garunugei ko mene piaria sau,>> qarigunia.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.”

14Ko sa votu lao si Loti ko sa parangaria sira na roana marene qai tavatuvisi ko mai alavaria na tuna rereko, Pira sauniria, <<Sisiqarai ko mu votu riu pa ia api, ura tata gu beto mina piaria i Iahova sa na gugusu lavata api,>> sau. Ba ira na roana marene sa palu sa paranga vavaivaavuona gu sau qarigu.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.

15Totonai sa sae na vovola rane poni, qai paranga vaneneqia na mateana si Loti, pira qarigu, <<Sisiqarai! Mu tonia na maqotamu beto karu tumu rereko qai korapa lani, kita vei ko mu tasaqu pale totonai mina tavakilasa na gugusu lavata,>> qarigunia.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.”

16Totonai sa mamavo isa poni sa qai lao tu karu tinoni ko qai saputu tekua sa na limana beto na limana na maqotana beto na limadi ira karu tuna rereko beto ko qai toni votu vasareria pa peguruna na gugusu lavata ura i Iahova sa roroquria.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.

17Isa tugu qai vavoturia pa peguru poni, kame ira sa pira sau, Mu uku vasarea na miu toa! Munake doro mule, beto munake tuturumua pa doru eqa araredi pori! Goto mu uku sae pa kukubo kita vei ko mu tasaqu pale riu beto, sauniria.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!”

18Ba sa paranga tu si Loti lao tadira, pira sau, <<Mavo tu, qua bangara.But Lot replied, “No, my lords, please!

19Qu tavaraguania sa na mua nabulu, beto qu vatadogoronisiu na mua roroqu lavata ko qu vasarea na toa taqu. Kode manake boka uku sae pa kukubo kita vei ko na tapata alepi mi sae kamusiu ko ma mate.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.

20Do! Poni sa kai gugusu ikete sa tata ketakoi mana boka uku lao ara. Mu vamalumusiu ko ketakoi ma uku lao. Sa ikete sa oko ba ketakoi kode mina sare na qua toa,>> sauniria.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.”

21Poni pira saunia na mateana, <<Jongana ropi. Qa vaegoa ara sa vei qu pojai ao api. Ko maneke piaria ara sa na gugusu ikete qu pojai.“Very well,” he answered, “I will grant this request as well, and will not demolish the town you indicate.

22Ko mu sisiqarai uku lao ketakoi, ura maneke boka roitinia kai sa sara tinganai muna kamu mai tu ao ketakoi,>> saunia. Ko sa vei sa na isongona na gugusu isa sa qai vaisongonia Zoa.Hurry! Run there quickly, for I cannot do anything until you reach it.” That is why the town was called Zoar.

23Totonai sa iolo votu sae pa arena abana sa na tapo poni sa sa kamu pa Zoa si Loti.And by the time the sun had risen over the land, Lot had reached Zoar.

24Ego beto sa vaokoro tarininiria na patu kikilava vuvurungudi i Iahova sa pa Sodomu beto pa Qomora, ko na koko lagere veidi tai Iahova pa noka sa aipira.Then the LORD rained down sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens.

25Ko sa piara paleria i Iahova sa na gugusu aipira beto na arare doruna beto ira doru qai suvere pa gugugusu lavata beto na gogou qai toa pa peso.Thus He destroyed these cities and the entire plain, including all the inhabitants of the cities and everything that grew on the ground.

26Goto na maqotana i Loti sa sa balinga mule ko sa peluku patu solona.But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

27Na vuvugei jonga i Ebarahami sa dorava ko sa mule sae pa ia ketakoi sa kole turu paparangia i Iahova.Early the next morning, Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD.

28Ego ko sa doro gore vei sa pa Sodomu beto pa Qomora, beto pa doruna na ia pa arare sa, sa batia sa iolo votu sae sa na tulana na peso isa sa vei na kunini tula sa koko pa kai iku lavata.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.

29Ko totonai sa piararia na Tamasa sa na gugugusu lavata pa arare sa, sa roroqu kamua isa si Ebarahami ko sa teku vaukua isa si Loti pana tapata sa piararia na gugugusu lavata ketakoi qi suvere i Loti.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.

30Ego i Loti beto karu tuna rereko sa qai taloa pa Zoa ko qai sae suvere pa kai bevi pa kukubo ura sa matagutu suvere pa Zoa sisa.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.

31Kai rane na tuna rereko pa moa sa pojania sa na tasina rereko, pira sau, <<Ago! Na tamada sa sa baragoso, beto kepore sa kai marene pa eqa lani vei mina kole tavitigita vei isa na tutina tugu doru eqa pa abana.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.

32Aria ko ta vabukunia na vaini sa na tamada beto ta kole tavitia ko mi kole sa na tutida lame vei tana tamada,>> saunia.Come, let us get our father drunk with wine so we can sleep with him and preserve his line.”

33Na bongi isa sa qai vabukunia na vaini sa na tamadi beto ko sa lao tome sisa pa moa ko sa kole tavitia ba na tamadi sake isongo vagigilai sa na tomena beto na votu riuna isa.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.

34Sa rane neqa poni sa paranga na tuna rereko pa moa lao tana tasina, pira sau, <<Pa bongi qa kole tavitia ara na tamada. Ko kode bongi tana vabukunia mule na vaini beto ao muna tome kole tavitia mule ko mi kole sa na tutida lame vei tana tamada,>> saunia.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.”

35Ko qai vabukunia mule na vaini sa na tamadi na bongi isa, beto na tuna rereko pa ligu sa tome kole tavitia. Sake isongo vagigilai mule isa sa na tomena beto na votu riuna na tuna rereko pa ligu.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.

36Ko sa vabogata betoria i Loti sa karu tuna rereko.Thus both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.

37Na tuna rereko pa moa sa vapodoa sa kai tuna marene, sa vaisongonia i Moabi ko isa sa na tamadi ira na bubutu tinoni Moabai pa ngeni alepi.The older daughter gave birth to a son and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites of today.

38Na tuna rereko pa ligu ba sa vapodoa tugu kai tuna marene, sa vaisongonia i Beni- Ami ko isa sa na tamadi ira na bubutu tinoni Amonai pa ngeni alepi.The younger daughter also gave birth to a son, and she named him Ben-ammi. He is the father of the Ammonites of today.
