Genesis 19 (YOR)

1Ní àṣálẹ́, àwọn angẹli méjì sì wá sí ìlú Sodomu, Lọti sì jókòó ní ẹnu ibodè ìlú. Bí ó sì ti rí wọn, ó sì dìde láti pàdé wọn, ó kí wọn, ó sì foríbalẹ̀ fún wọn.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,

2Ó wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin olúwa mi, èmi bẹ̀ yín, ẹ yà sí ilé ìránṣẹ́ yín kí ẹ sì wẹ ẹsẹ̀ yín, kí n sì gbà yín lálejò, ẹ̀yin ó sì dìde ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀ láti máa bá ìrìnàjò yín lọ.” Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Rárá o, àwa yóò dúró ní ìgboro ní òru òní.”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.”

3Ṣùgbọ́n Lọti rọ̀ wọ́n gidigidi tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí wọ́n gbà láti bá a lọ sì ilé. Ó sì ṣe àsè fún wọn, ó sì dín àkàrà aláìwú fún wọ́n, wọ́n sì jẹ.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.

4Ṣùgbọ́n kí ó tó di pé wọ́n lọ sùn, àwọn ọkùnrin ìlú Sodomu tọmọdé tàgbà yí ilé náà ká.Before they had gone to bed, all the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, surrounded the house.

5Wọ́n pe Lọti pé, “Àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó wọ̀ sí ilé rẹ lálẹ́ yìí ń kọ́? Mú wọn jáde fún wa, kí a le ní ìbálòpọ̀ pẹ̀lú wọn.”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!”

6Lọti sì jáde láti pàdé wọn, ó sì ti ìlẹ̀kùn lẹ́yìn rẹ̀ bí ó ti jáde.Lot went outside to meet them, shutting the door behind him.

7Ó sì wí pé, “Rárá, ẹ̀yin ará mi, ẹ má ṣe ṣe ohun búburú yìí,“Please, my brothers,” he pleaded, “don’t do such a wicked thing!

8kíyèsi i, mo ní ọmọbìnrin méjì tí kò mọ ọkùnrin rí, ẹ jẹ́ kí n mú wọn tọ̀ yín wá kí ẹ sì ṣe ohun tí ẹ fẹ́ pẹ̀lú wọn. Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ má ṣe ṣe àwọn ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí ní ibi kan nítorí wọ́n wá wọ̀ lábẹ́ ààbò ní ilé mi.”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.”

9Wọ́n sì wí fún pé, “Bì sẹ́yìn fún wa. Èyí yìí wá ṣe àtìpó láàrín wa, òun sì fẹ́ ṣe onídàájọ́! Aburú tí a ó fi ṣe ọ́ yóò pọ̀ ju tí wọn lọ.” Wọn rọ́ lu Lọti, wọ́n sì súnmọ́ ọn láti fọ́ ìlẹ̀kùn.“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.

10Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọkùnrin náà nawọ́ fa Lọti wọlé, wọ́n sì ti ìlẹ̀kùn.But the men inside reached out, pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.

11Wọ́n sì bu ìfọ́jú lu àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó wà ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé náà, àti èwe àti àgbà: wọ́n kò sì rí ẹnu-ọ̀nà mọ́.And they struck the men at the entrance, young and old, with blindness, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the door.

12Àwọn ọkùnrin náà sì wí fún Lọti pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ó ní ẹlòmíràn ní ìlú yìí bí? Àna rẹ ọkùnrin, àwọn ọmọ rẹ lọ́kùnrin àti lóbìnrin, tàbí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ìwọ ní ní ìlú yìí, kó wọn jáde kúrò ní ibí yìí,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,

13nítorí a ó pa ìlú yìí run, nítorí igbe iṣẹ́ búburú wọn ń dí púpọ̀ níwájú Olúwa, Olúwa sì rán wa láti pa á run.”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.”

14Nígbà náà ni Lọti jáde, ó sì wí fún àwọn àna rẹ̀ ọkùnrin tí ó ti bá jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ láti fẹ́ àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ ṣe kánkán, kí ẹ jáde ní ìlú yìí, nítorí Olúwa fẹ́ pa ìlú yìí run!” Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọkọ ọmọ rẹ̀ wọ̀nyí rò pé àwàdà ló ń ṣe.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.

15Ní àfẹ̀mọ́júmọ́, àwọn angẹli náà rọ Lọti pé, “Ṣe wéré, mú aya rẹ àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin rẹ méjèèjì tí ó wà níhìn-ín, àìṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, ìwọ yóò parun pẹ̀lú ìlú yìí nígbà tí wọ́n bá ń jìyà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.”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.”

16Nígbà tí ó ń jáfara, àwọn ọkùnrin náà nawọ́ mú un lọ́wọ́, wọ́n sì nawọ́ mú aya rẹ̀ náà lọ́wọ́ àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ méjèèjì, wọ́n sì mú wọn jáde sẹ́yìn odi ìlú, nítorí Olúwa ṣàánú fún wọn.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.

17Ní kété tí wọ́n mú wọn jáde sẹ́yìn odi tán, ọ̀kan nínú wọn wí pé, “Sá àsálà fún ẹ̀mí rẹ! Má ṣe wo ẹ̀yìn rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ìwọ kí ó má ṣe dúró ní gbogbo pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀! Sá àsálà lọ sí orí òkè, kí ìwọ ó má ba ṣègbé!”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!”

18Ṣùgbọ́n Lọti wí fún wọn pé, “Rárá, ẹ̀yin Olúwa mi, ẹ jọ̀wọ́!But Lot replied, “No, my lords, please!

19Nígbà tí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ti rí ojúrere rẹ, tí o sì ti fi àánú rẹ hàn nípa gbígba ẹ̀mí mi là, èmi kò le è sálọ sórí òkè, kí búburú yìí má ba à lé mi bá, kí n sì kú.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.

20Wò ó, ìlú kékeré kan nìyí ní tòsí láti sá sí: jẹ́ kí n sálọ síbẹ̀, ìlú kékeré ha kọ́? Ẹ̀mí mi yóò sì yè.”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.”

21Ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ó dára, mo gba ẹ̀bẹ̀ rẹ. Èmi kì yóò run ìlú náà tí ìwọ sọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀.“Very well,” he answered, “I will grant this request as well, and will not demolish the town you indicate.

22Tètè! Sálọ síbẹ̀, nítorí èmi kò le ṣe ohun kan àyàfi tí ó bá dé ibẹ̀.” (ìdí nìyí tí a fi ń pe ìlú náà ní Soari).Hurry! Run there quickly, for I cannot do anything until you reach it.” That is why the town was called Zoar.

23Nígbà tí Lọti yóò fi dé ìlú Soari, oòrùn ti yọ.And by the time the sun had risen over the land, Lot had reached Zoar.

24Nígbà náà ni Olúwa rọ̀jò iná àti sulfuru sórí Sodomu àti Gomorra láti ọ̀run lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa wá.Then the LORD rained down sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens.

25Báyìí ni ó run àwọn ìlú náà àti gbogbo ilẹ̀ pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà ní ìlú ńlá ńlá wọ̀n-ọn-nì àti ohun gbogbo tí ó hù jáde nílẹ̀.Thus He destroyed these cities and the entire plain, including all the inhabitants of the cities and everything that grew on the ground.

26Ṣùgbọ́n aya Lọti bojú wo ẹ̀yìn, ó sì di ọ̀wọ́n iyọ̀.But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

27Ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, Abrahamu sì dìde ó sì padà lọ sí ibi tí ó gbé dúró níwájú Olúwa.Early the next morning, Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD.

28Ó sì wo ìhà Sodomu àti Gomorra àti àwọn ilẹ̀ pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, ó sì rí èéfín tí ń ti ibẹ̀ jáde bí èéfín iná ìléru.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.

29Ọlọ́run sì rántí Abrahamu, nígbà tí ó run ìlú pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ wọ̀n-ọn-nì tan, ó sì mú Lọti jáde kúrò láàrín ìparun náà, tí ó kọlu ìlú tí Lọti ti gbé.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.

30Lọti àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ obìnrin méjèèjì sì kúrò ní Soari, wọ́n sì ń lọ gbé ní orí òkè ní inú ihò àpáta, nítorí ó bẹ̀rù láti gbé ní ìlú Soari.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.

31Ní ọjọ́ kan, èyí ẹ̀gbọ́n sọ fún àbúrò rẹ̀ pé, “Baba wa ti dàgbà, kò sì sí ọkùnrin kankan ní agbègbè yìí tí ìbá bá wa lòpọ̀, bí ìṣe gbogbo ayé.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.

32Wá, jẹ́ kí a mú baba wa mu ọtí yó, kí ó ba à le bá wa lòpọ̀, kí àwa kí ó lè bí ọmọ, kí ìran wa má ba à parẹ́.”Come, let us get our father drunk with wine so we can sleep with him and preserve his line.”

33Ní òru ọjọ́ náà, wọ́n rọ baba wọn ní ọtí yó. Èyí ẹ̀gbọ́n sì wọlé tọ̀ ọ́, ó sì bá a lòpọ̀, baba wọn kò mọ̀ ìgbà tí ó sùn ti òun àti ìgbà tí ó dìde.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.

34Ní ọjọ́ kejì èyí ẹ̀gbọ́n wí fún àbúrò rẹ̀ pé, “Ní àná mo sùn ti baba mi. Jẹ́ kí a tún wọlé tọ̀ ọ́, kí a lè ní irú-ọmọ láti ọ̀dọ̀ baba wa.”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.”

35Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n tún fún baba wọn ní ọtí mu yó ni alẹ́ ọjọ́ náà, èyí àbúrò náà sì wọlé tọ̀ ọ́ lọ, ó sì bá a lòpọ̀, kò sì tún mọ ìgbà tí ó wọlé sùn ti òun tàbí ìgbà tí ó dìde.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.

36Àwọn ọmọbìnrin Lọti méjèèjì sì lóyún fún baba wọn.Thus both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.

37Èyí ẹ̀gbọ́n sì bí ọmọkùnrin, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Moabu. Òun ni baba ńlá àwọn ará Moabu lónìí.The older daughter gave birth to a son and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites of today.

38Èyí àbúrò náà sì bí ọmọkùnrin, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Bene-Ami. Òun ni baba ńlá àwọn ará Ammoni lónìí.The younger daughter also gave birth to a son, and she named him Ben-ammi. He is the father of the Ammonites of today.
