Genesis 19
1 and two of the messengers are
coming Sodom ward in evening; and Lot sitting in gateway of Sodom; and Lot is
seeing and rising, to meet them; and he is bowing down himself, nostrils earth
ward. 2 and he is saying: behold, please, my lords! Withdraw, please, to house
of your servant! And lodge and wash your feet and rise early and go to your way;
and they are saying: not, that in square we shall lodge. 3 and he is urging in
them exceedingly, and they are withdrawing to him, and they are coming to his
house, and he is making for them feast and baked unleavened breads; and they
are eating. 4 ere they are lying down, and mortals of the city, mortals of
Sodom, surrounded the house; from lad and unto old man; all the people from
outmost parts. 5 and they are calling to Lot and saying to him: where the
mortals who came to you the night? Bring them forth to us! And we shall know
them. 6 and Lot is going forth to them the portal ward; and closed the door after
him. 7 and he is saying: must not be, please, my brothers, you are doing evil!
8 behold, please, to me two daughters who not know man; I shall bring forth,
please, them to you! And you do to them as good in your eyes! But to these mortals
must not be you are doing anything, that on so they came in shadow of my rafter.
9 and they are saying: come close yonder! And saying: the one came to sojourn
and is judging to judge; now we shall do evil to you from them; and they are
urging exceedingly in man, in Lot; and coming close to break the door. 10 and the
mortals are stretching forth their hand and bringing in Lot to them the house
ward; and they closed the door. 11 and the mortals who portal of the house they
smote in dazzlings; from small and unto great one,
and they are tiring themselves to find the portal. 12 and the mortals are
saying to Lot: still any to you here? Son in law and sons of you and daughters
of you and all who to you in city bring forth from the place! 13 that ones ruining we this place; that cry of them was great with
faces of Yahweh; and Yahweh is sending us to ruin her. 14 and Lot is going
forth and speaking to his sons in law, ones taking of his daughters; and saying:
arise, go forth from this place! That ruining Yahweh the city (and he is being
as one making fun in eyes of his sons in law). 15 and as the dawn ascended and the
messengers are rushing in Lot, to say of: arise, take your woman and your two
daughters, the ones being found! Lest you shall be swept in depravity of the
city. 16 and he is dallying, and the mortals are holding fast in his hand and
in hand of his woman and in hand of his two daughters in sparing Yahweh on him,
and bringing him forth; and they are leaving him from outside of to city. 17 and it is becoming, as to bring forth them the
outside ward; and he is saying: escape, on your soul! Must not be you are
looking behind you and must not be you are standing in any part of the basin
the mountain ward; escape! Lest you shall be swept. 18 and Lot is saying to them:
must not be, please, my Lord! 19 behold, please, your servant found grace in your
eyes and you are magnifying your kindness, which you do with me, to preserve
alive my soul! And not I am being able to escape the mountain ward; lest the
evil is clinging me and I die. 20 behold, please! This city near to flee there ward (and she inferior); I shall escape, please,
there ward? (not inferior she); and my soul shall live. 21 and he is saying to
him: behold, I lift up your faces moreover to this matter! To so as not to
overturn me the city which you speak. 22 hasten, escape there ward! That not I
am being able to do anything until to come of you there ward (on so he called
name of the city Zoar). 23 the sun came forth over the earth and Lot came Zoar
ward. 24 and Yahweh causes rain on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulphur and fire from
with Yahweh, from the heavens. 25 and he is overturning these cities; and all
of the basin; and all ones dwelling the cities; and sprouting of the ground. 26
and his woman is looking from behind him, and is becoming monument of salt. 27
and Abraham is rising early in morning to the place, which he stood there faces
of Yahweh. 28 and he is gazing on surfaces of Sodom and Gomorrah; and on all of
surfaces of land of the basin; and he is seeing, and: behold, fume went up the
land as fume of the limekiln. 29 and it is becoming in to ruin of Elohim cities
of the basin, and Elohim is remembering Abraham; and he is sending Lot from
midst of the overturning, in to overturn of the cities which Lot dwelt in them.
30 and Lot is going up from Zoar, and dwelling in mountain; and his two
daughters with him; that he feared to dwell in Zoar, and he is dwelling in cave;
he and two of his daughters. 31 and the firstborn is saying to the inferior:
our father is old; and there is no man in earth to come on us as way of all the
earth. 32 go! We shall give to drink our father wine and we shall lie down with
him; and we shall keep alive seed from our father. 33 and they are giving to
drink their father wine in night he; and the firstborn is coming and lying down
with her father; and he not knew in to lie down and in to rise of her. 34 and
he is becoming from morrow, and the firstborn is saying to the inferior:
behold! I lay down last night with my father; we shall give him to drink wine
moreover the night; and come you! Lie down with him! And we shall keep alive seed
from our father. 35 and they are giving to drink moreover in night the he their father wine; and the inferior is rising and lying
down with him; and not he knew in to lie down and in to rise of her. 36 and two
of daughters of Lot are becoming pregnant from their father. 37 and the
firstborn is giving birth son; and calling his name: Moab (he father of Moab
until the day). 38 and moreover the inferior gave birth son; and calling his
name: Ben-Ammi (he father of sons of Ammon until the day).
