Genesis 19 (TDX)

1Nandoake e Sedome amy harivay i anjely roe rey, naho niambesatse an-dalam-bei’ i Sedome ey t’i Lote. Niisa’ i Lote, le niongake hifanalaka am’iereo vaho naboko’e an-tane ty lahara’e.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,

2Hoe re: Eo hey, ry roandriañeo, Ehe, mivevea mb’ an-traño’ o mpitoro’oo mb’eo hialeñe ao naho hanasa fandia; le mañaleñaleña hanonjohy ty lia’ areo. Hoe iereo, Aiy, apoho hialeñe an-kiririsa atoy.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.”

3Fe nimanea’e fiboliboly le nitolike iareo nimoak’ añ’anjomba’e ao; le nañalankaña’e sabadidake naho nitono mofo po-dalivay vaho nikama iereo.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.

4Aa ie mbe tsy nàndre, inao o lahilahi’ i rovaio, ondati’ i Sedomeo, ty ajalahy naho ty bey, ze kila lahilahy pak’am-pifaritsoha’e ro niarikoboñe amy anjombay,Before they had gone to bed, all the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, surrounded the house.

5nikaike ty hoe amy Lote, Aia i lahilahy niheo mb’ama’o hariva zao rey? Akaro ama’ay haharendreha’ay.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!”

6Niakatse an-tsarirañe t’i Lote le narindri’e amboho’ey i lalañeLot went outside to meet them, shutting the door behind him.

7vaho nanao ty hoe, O ry rahalahikoo, ko anoe’ areo o halò-tsereke zao.“Please, my brothers,” he pleaded, “don’t do such a wicked thing!

8Ingo hey, aman’ anak’ ampela roe mbe tsy mahavany lahy iraho; ehe angao hakareko mb’ama’areo atoy vaho ano am’iereo ze atao soa am-pihaino’ areo; fe ko anoa’ areo ndra inoñ’ inoñe amy lahilahy rey kanao mipalitse ambane tafo-trañoko ao.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.”

9Fa hoe ka iereo, Misitaha! le tinovo’ iareo ty hoe, Niambahiny atoy itia te niavy, aa vaho mipay ho mpizaka! Aa le ihe ty ho silofe’ay hisolo iareo. Le zineha’ iereo mafe t’i Lote vaho didy tsy nampipoñake i lalambeiy.“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.

10Aa le nahiti’ i lahilahy rey o fità’eo le tinari’iareo hizilike mb’am’iereo añ’anjomba ao t’i Lote, naho narindri’ iereo i lalañey,But the men inside reached out, pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.

11vaho zinevo’ iareo an-kagoàñe o lahilahy an-dala’ i anjombaio, ty kede naho ty bey, vaho nimokots’ avao iereo nipay i lalañey.And they struck the men at the entrance, young and old, with blindness, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the door.

12Le hoe i lahilahy rey amy Lote, Ia ka ty ama’o atoañe? He vinanto’o ke ana-dahi’o, ke anak’ ampela’o, ndra iaia ama’o an-drova atoa—akaro boak’ an-toetse atoyThen 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,

13fa harotsa’ay ty rova toy, amy te nionjoñ’ añatrefa’ Iehovà ty fikointsa’ ondati’eo, vaho nirahe’ Iehovà zahay handrotsak’ aze.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.”

14Aa le niavotse t’i Lote nanao ty hoe amo vinanto nañenga o anak’ ampela’eoo, Miongaha le iakaro ty toetse toy, fa ho rotsahe’ Iehovà ty rova toy. Fe natao’ o vinanto’eo t’ie nisole.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.

15Ie nanjirike ty maraindray, nanaeñe i Lote i anjely rey ami’ty hoe: Mitroara, taono t’i vali’o naho o anak’ ampela’o roe toañe, tsy mone ho mongoreñe ami’ty halo-tsere’ ty rova toy.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.”

16F’ie nihenekenek’ avao, le rinambe’ o lahilahio ty fita’e naho ty fita’ i vali’ey vaho ty taña’ i anak’ ampela’e roe rey, ie niferenaiña’ Iehovà, le nendese’ iereo vaho napok’ alafe’ i rovay.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.

17Ie fa nasese alafe ao le hoe re, Mirombaha fiay, le ko mitoli-boho vaho ko tambatse am-bavatane atoa; miherereaha mb’am-bohitse mb’eo tsy mone ho faopaoheñe.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!”

18Le hoe t’i Lote am’ iereo: Ehe! tsie, ry talèko;But Lot replied, “No, my lords, please!

19ingo te nisohe’o ty mpitoro’o, naho nonjone’o ty fitretreza’o ahy amy te rinomba’o ty haveloko; f’ie tsy hahafilay mb’ am-bohitse mb’eo, tsy mone hizo hankàñe vaho hikenkañe.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.

20Hehe ty marine naho mete rifiteñe o rova ey hoek’ eo, fa kede ‘nio. Angao hihitrifako, tsy raha kede hao, soa te ho veloñe ty fiaiko?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.”

21Aa le hoe re tama’e, Ingo, fa nandraeko ty lahara’o amo raha zao, fa tsy ho rotsaheñe i rovay ty amy saontsi’oy.“Very well,” he answered, “I will grant this request as well, and will not demolish the town you indicate.

22Masikà, itribaho an-day, fa tsy hahapi-draha Iraho ampara’ t’ie mandoak’ ey. Aa le natao ty hoe Tsoare i rovay.Hurry! Run there quickly, for I cannot do anything until you reach it.” That is why the town was called Zoar.

23Fa nanjirik’ an-tane atoy i àndroy te niavy e Tsoare ao t’i Lote.And by the time the sun had risen over the land, Lot had reached Zoar.

24Heneke izay, le nañiliña’ Iehovà solifara naho afo boak’ am’ Iehovà andikerañe ao ty Sedome naho i Amorà,Then the LORD rained down sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens.

25vaho narotsa’e i rova rey, naho i vava-tane iabiy naho ze mpimoneñe amy rova rey vaho ze nitiry amy taney.Thus He destroyed these cities and the entire plain, including all the inhabitants of the cities and everything that grew on the ground.

26Fe nitoli-boho ty vali’e, vaho ninjare vongan-tsira.But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

27Nañaleñale mb’amy toetse nijohaña’e añatrefa’ Iehovày mb’eo t’i AvrahameEarly the next morning, Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD.

28vaho nitalake mañambane eñe mb’amy Sedome naho i Amorà naho i vavatane iabiy le nahaoniñe ty hatoe’ i taney nionjoñe manahake ty fifororoaha’ ty hatoem-pitranahañe.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.

29Aa ie narotsan’ Añahare o rova amy vavataneio, le nitiahin’ Añahare t’i Avrahame vaho nirahe’e hiakatse boak’ añivo’ i fandrotsahañey t’i Lote, ie finongo’e o rova nimoneña’ i Loteo.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.

30Ie amy zao, niavotse boak’e Tsoare t’i Lote vaho nitobe ambohitse ey, ie naho i anak’ ampela’e roe ama’e rey, amy te nanembañe aze ty himoneñe e Tsoare; aa le nimoneñe am-po lakato ao, ie naho i anak’ ampela’e roe rey.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.

31Le hoe ty tañoloñoloña’e aman-jai’e, Fa bey ‘nio ty raentika, vaho tsy eo t’indaty an-tane atoy ty himoak’ aman-tika an-tsata’ ty tane bey toy.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.

32Aa le antao hampikamaen-tika divay ty raentika vaho hiolots’ ama’e, hañajàn-tika tariratse ty raentika.Come, let us get our father drunk with wine so we can sleep with him and preserve his line.”

33Nampikamae’ iereo divay ty rae’e amy haleñey; le nimoak’ aman-drae’e ao ty tañoloñoloña’e nifandia-tihy ama’e, f’ie tsy nahafohiñe ty nandrea’e ndra ty nitroara’e.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.

34Ie niloak’andro, le hoe i tañoloñoloña’ey aman-jai’e, Niolotse aman-draeko iraho; antao hampikamaentika divay indraike te hariva; le ihe ka ro hizilik’ ao hifandia’o tihy, hañajañe tariratse ho aman-draen-tika.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.”

35Aa le nampikamae’ iereo divay indraike ty rae’ iareo amy haleñey; le niongake ty zai’e naho niolora’e; fe namoea’e ty fandrea’e naho ty fitroara’e.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.

36Aa le sindre nampiareñe’ i Lote rae’e i anak’ampela’e roe rey.Thus both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.

37Nisamake ana-dahy i tañoloñoloña’ey le natao Mòabe ty añara’e; Ie ty rae’ o nte-Mòabeo pak’ henaneo.The older daughter gave birth to a son and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites of today.

38Nahatoly ana-dahy ka ty zai’e vaho natao’e Benamý ty añara’e; ie ty rae’ o anak’Amoneo pak’androany.The younger daughter also gave birth to a son, and she named him Ben-ammi. He is the father of the Ammonites of today.
