Genesis 19 (ROW)

1Lamatualain feꞌe olaꞌ no Abraham ma, ate Na rua mia sorga risiꞌ kota Sodꞌom. Ara losa naa te, relo a nae mopo ena. Leleꞌ naa, Lot feꞌe endoꞌ sia kota a lelesu ine na. Nita atahori karuaꞌ ra ma, ana neu soru se. Ana sendeꞌ lululangga na ma beꞌutee mia mata nara.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,

2Ma ana olaꞌ nae, “Ama nggare! Ima tuli ume ngga dei. Safe ei mara, ma sungguꞌ. Mbila fefetu na fo, feꞌe lao naa.” Te rataa rae, “Makasi. Afiꞌ tao ia-naa! Hai sungguꞌ miiꞌ a lenu loaꞌ ia.”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.”

3Te Lot kokoe nakandooꞌ a, losa ara nau. Boe ma Lot se tunu roti, ma sadꞌia mei fo raa raꞌabꞌue.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.

4Fuiꞌ ra nda feꞌe sungguꞌ sa, te touꞌ Sodꞌom ra moko-anak, rema heo rala Lot ume na.Before they had gone to bed, all the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, surrounded the house.

5Ara rameli Lot rae, “He, Lot! Tou karuaꞌ faꞌ ra, sia bee? Fee se dea rema, te hai mae bodꞌe se!” Boe ma Lot dea neu, ma ena lelesu a.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!”

6Ana olaꞌ nae, “Toronooꞌ re! Afiꞌ tao deꞌulakaꞌ neu fuiꞌ nggara.Lot went outside to meet them, shutting the door behind him.

8Rena dei! Au ana feto nggara rua, feꞌe feto anaꞌ ra. Onaꞌ bee naa, au fee se reu hei. Hei mae tao se taꞌo bee o, naa siaꞌ a hei e. Sadꞌi afiꞌ tao saa-saa neu au fuiꞌ nggara boe. Huu tungga hita hadat na, au musi unea se malolole.”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.”

9Te atahori Sodꞌom ra rameli rae, “Ho afiꞌ sambor! Ho, manatain! Ho atahori deaꞌ, nda muꞌena hak fadꞌuli hai sa. Dinggoꞌ naa! Hokoꞌ naa, hai tao nggo lenaꞌ atahori karuaꞌ naa ra!” Boe ma ara timba hendi Lot, de reu tara lelesu a, fo rae ralutu e.“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.

10Te atahori karuaꞌ ra soi lelesu ma loo lima nara de lea Lot ume rala neu. Basa ma, ara nggoe lelesu a,But the men inside reached out, pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.

11ma tao rapokeꞌ atahori Sodꞌom ra mata nara. Naa de, ara nggao-nggao lelesu a, te nda hambu sa.And they struck the men at the entrance, young and old, with blindness, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the door.

12Basa ma, fuiꞌ ka ruaꞌ naa ra olaꞌ ro Lot rae, “Lot! LAMATUALAIN nahine kamboꞌ ia deꞌulaka na ena. Ana fee hai ima fo tao milutu e. Dadꞌi feꞌe muꞌena odꞌi-aꞌa, ana touꞌ, do inaꞌ, do ana mone feus, do sudꞌi a se sia kamboꞌ ia, do hokoꞌ? Mete ma, sia, muu mala se fo lao hela ia leo!”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,

14De Lot neu nandaa no touꞌ rua mana rae dadꞌi ana mone feu nara. Nafadꞌe se nae, “Rena malolole! Hei lao hela kamboꞌ ia leo, te LAMATUALAIN nae tao nalutu e!” Te ara rae Lot olaꞌ andiaoꞌ.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.

15Mbila fefetu na ma, Lamatualain ate karuaꞌ naa ra, raꞌasusuuꞌ Lot se lao hela Sodꞌom lai-lai. Ara rae, “Lot! Fela leo! Mendi sao ma, ma ana feto mara ruꞌa se, fo mela hela kamboꞌ ia leo. Afiꞌ losa hei mate hieꞌ a, ma mimbilutu mo kamboꞌ ia.”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.”

16Te Lot feꞌe pale-pale. Tao-tao te LAMATUALAIN nae fee ne nasodꞌa. Naa de, fuiꞌ karuaꞌ ra toꞌu lima nara de nore Lot, ma sao na, ma ana feto nara ruꞌa se, de ro se lao hela kamboꞌ naa.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.

17Boe ma fuiꞌ esa parenda se nae, “Melaꞌ lai-lai, fo sangga masodꞌa leo! Afiꞌ mete deaꞌ! Afiꞌ hahae sia lololoꞌ! Mela mikindoo misiꞌ leteꞌ naa, fo hei afiꞌ mate!”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!”

18Te Lot nataa nae, “Aduu, amaꞌ! Afiꞌ taꞌo naa!But Lot replied, “No, my lords, please!

19Memaꞌ amaꞌ tulu-fali fee masodꞌa neu hai. Akaꞌ a leteꞌ naa, doo na seli! Seꞌu te hai nda feꞌe losa naa sa, te deꞌulakaꞌ oi hambu hai siaꞌ a dalaꞌ taladꞌa na ena.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.

20Amaꞌ mete dei. Hambu kambo anaꞌ esa nda naꞌadꞌooꞌ no ia sa. Kamboꞌ naa nda nandaandaa sa. De mete ma amaꞌ nau, naa hai mii sangga masodꞌa sia naa.”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.”

21Nataa nae, “Neu! Mii leo! Au nda tao ulutu kamboꞌ naa sa.“Very well,” he answered, “I will grant this request as well, and will not demolish the town you indicate.

22Mela lai-lai mii leo! Mete ma hei nda feꞌe losa naa sa naa, au nda bisa tao saa-saa saꞌ boe.” Eniꞌ a leleꞌ naa, atahori babꞌae kamboꞌ naa naran Soar, sosoa na ‘anak’.Hurry! Run there quickly, for I cannot do anything until you reach it.” That is why the town was called Zoar.

23Relo a sangga todꞌa ma, Lot se losa Soar.And by the time the sun had risen over the land, Lot had reached Zoar.

24Aiboiꞌ ma, LAMATUALAIN mbori ai no baleran manahotuꞌ mia lalai a nisiꞌ Sodꞌom no Gomora.Then the LORD rained down sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens.

25LAMATUALAIN tao nalutu basa kamboꞌ ra ma basa mana masodꞌaꞌ sia mamanaꞌ naa. Basa atahori, banda, ro hau-bebꞌa ra nenehotuꞌ.Thus He destroyed these cities and the entire plain, including all the inhabitants of the cities and everything that grew on the ground.

26Lot se rela ma, sao na mete deaꞌ. Aiboiꞌ ma, ana dadꞌi rii masiꞌ.But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

27Mbila fefetu anan ma, Abraham neu seluꞌ mia mamanaꞌ fo afis sa ana nambariiꞌ kokoe LAMATUALAIN.Early the next morning, Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD.

28Ana mete raeꞌ neu nisiꞌ Sodꞌom no Gomora no ndule lololoꞌ a. Sia bee-bꞌee masuꞌ bubꞌue-bubꞌueꞌ hene lalai neu. Ma ai a naa hendi basaꞌ e.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.

29Dadꞌi leleꞌ Lamatualain tao nalutu mamanaꞌ a, nasanedꞌa hehelu Na neu Abraham. Naa de, Ana nore hendi Lot mia mamana nenehuku-dokiꞌ naa.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.

30Basa naa ma, Lot namatau leo nakandoo sia kamboꞌ Soar. Naa de, no ana feto nara ruꞌa se lali risiꞌ leteꞌ reu, de ara leo mia luat esa.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.

31Lao esa, ana feto aꞌa ka olaꞌ no odꞌi na nae, “Sia ia, nda hambu touꞌ esa saꞌ boe fo nema sao hita sa. Nda dooꞌ sa te, amaꞌ boe namalasi fo nda bisa hambu anaꞌ sa ena.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.

32De malole lenaꞌ, ata fee ne ninu mafu, fo sungguꞌ to e. Naa fo, ata tute tititi-nonosi nara.”Come, let us get our father drunk with wine so we can sleep with him and preserve his line.”

33Tetembaꞌ naa, ara fee ama na ninu anggor de mafu. Boe ma ana aꞌa ka neu sungguꞌ no e. Te tou lasiꞌ a mafu seli, de nda nitaꞌ nae eni tao sa no ana feto na saꞌ boe.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.

34Mbila ma, aꞌa ka nafadꞌe odꞌi na nae, ‘Odꞌiꞌ! Tembaꞌ a au sungguꞌ o amaꞌ ena. Tetembaꞌ ia, ho hahambu ma. Dei fo tamafuꞌ amaꞌ fai, fo muu sungguꞌ mo e. Naa fo, hita ruꞌa nggita hambu anaꞌ, fo tute tititi-nonosi nara.”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.”

35Tetemba na boe, ara tao ramafuꞌ ama na. De ana feto muri ka neu sungguꞌ no e. Te toulasiꞌ a mafu seli, de nda nitaꞌ nae eni tao sa no ana feto na saꞌ boe.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.

36No taꞌo naa, ruꞌa se rairu mia ama bꞌonggi na.Thus both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.

37Boe ma aꞌa ka bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa. Ana babꞌae e Moab (lii na onaꞌ dedꞌea Ibrani sa, sosoa na nae ‘nema mia amaꞌ’). Ana dadꞌi atahori Moab ra bei-baꞌi nara losa faiꞌ ia.The older daughter gave birth to a son and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites of today.

38Ma odꞌi a bꞌonggi touꞌ esa. Ana babꞌae e Ben Ami (sosoa na ‘mia au atahori ngga’). Ana dadꞌi atahori Amon ra bei-baꞌi nara losa faiꞌ ia.The younger daughter also gave birth to a son, and she named him Ben-ammi. He is the father of the Ammonites of today.
