Gênesis 19

1 The two angels came to Sodom at evening. Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them. He bowed himself with his face to the earth, 2 and he said, "See now, my lords, please come into your servant’s house, stay all night, wash your feet, and you can rise up early, and go on your way."

They said, "No, but we will stay in the street all night."

3 He urged them greatly, and they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. 4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter. 5 They called to Lot, and said to him, "Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them."

6 Lot went out to them through the door, and shut the door after himself. 7 He said, "Please, my brothers, don’t act so wickedly. 8 See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them what seems good to you. Only don’t do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof."

9 They said, "Stand back!" Then they said, "This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now we will deal worse with you than with them!" They pressed hard on the man Lot, and came near to break the door. 10 But the men reached out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door. 11 They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

12 The men said to Lot, "Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place: 13 for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown so great before Yahweh that Yahweh has sent us to destroy it."

14 Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, "Get up! Get out of this place, for Yahweh will destroy the city!"

But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking. 15 When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, "Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city." 16 But he lingered; and the men grabbed his hand, his wife’s hand, and his two daughters’ hands, Yahweh being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city. 17 It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, "Escape for your life! Don’t look behind you, and don’t stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be consumed!"

18 Lot said to them, "Oh, not so, my lord. 19 See now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your loving kindness, which you have shown to me in saving my life. I can’t escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die. 20 See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (isn’t it a little one?), and my soul will live."

21 He said to him, "Behold, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken. 22 Hurry, escape there, for I can’t do anything until you get there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.*19:22 Zoar means "little".

23 The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar. 24 Then Yahweh rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from Yahweh out of the sky. 25 He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground. 26 But Lot’s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

27 Abraham went up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Yahweh. 28 He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.

29 When God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.

30 Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters. 31 The firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us in the way of all the earth. 32 Come, let’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line." 33 They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she arose. 34 It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, "Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let’s make him drink wine again tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line." 35 They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she got up. 36 Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father. 37 The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day. 38 The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. He is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.

Te Kino o Horoma

1 Nā, ka haere mai ngā anahera tokorua ki Horoma i te ahiahi; ā, ko Rota i te kūwaha o Horoma e noho ana. Ā, ka kite a Rota i a rāua, ka whakatika ki te whakatau i a rāua, ā, ka tuohu tōna kanohi ki te whenua, 2 ka mea ia, "Nanā, e ōku ariki, peka mai ki te whare o tā kōrua pononga, nē? Ki konei moe ai, horoi ai hoki i ō kōrua waewae, ā, ka moata ai te maranga, ka haere i tā kōrua haere."

Ka mea rāua, "Kāhore; engari ki te huarahi noa māua moe ai."

3 Nā, ka kaha tāna tohe ki a rāua, ā, peka atu ana rāua ki a ia, haere ana ki tōna whare. Nā, ka taka ia i tētahi hākari mā rāua, ka tunu hoki i ētahi keke rēwenakore, ā, ka kai rāua. 4 Kīanō rāua i takoto noa, ka karapotia te whare e ngā tāngata o te pā, e ngā tāngata o Horoma, e te koroheke, e te taitamariki, e ngā tāngata katoa o ngā wāhi katoa. 5 Ā, ka karanga rātou ki a Rota, ka mea ki a ia, "Kei hea aua tāngata i haere mai nei ki a koe i te pō nei? Whakaputaina mai ki a mātou, kia mōhio ai mātou ki a rāua."

6 Nā, ka puta atu a Rota ki a rātou ki te kūwaha, me tāna tūtaki anō i te tatau i muri i a ia. 7 Ka mea, "Kaua rā e kino, e ōku tuākana. 8 Nanā, tokorua āku tamāhine, kāhore nei i mōhio noa ki te tāne, me whakaputa atu rāua e ahau ki a koutou, ā, mā koutou e mea ki a rāua te mea e pai ana ki tā koutou titiro. Kaua ia e meatia tētahi mea ki ēnei tāngata; he mea hoki ka tae mai nei rāua ki te taumarumarutanga iho o tōku tuanui."

9 Anō rā ko rātou, "Tū atu!" Ā, ka mea anō rātou, "I haere mai tēnei korokē kotahi ki konei noho ai, ā, e whai ana kia māna e whakarite tikanga. Ākuanei tōu mate i a mātou nui atu i tō rāua." Nā, ka āki rawa rātou ki te tangata rā, ki a Rota, ā, ka whakatata ki te wāhi i te tatau.

10 Otirā, ka totoro atu te ringa o aua tāngata, ā, kūmea ana a Rota ki a rāua ki roto ki te whare, ā, tūtakina ana e rāua te tatau. 11 Nā, ka whiua e rāua ngā tāngata i te kūwaha o te whare, te iti, te rahi, ki te matapōtanga; ā, ngenge noa rātou i te rapunga i te tatau.

Te Ngaromanga o Horoma me Koroma

12 Nā, ka mea aua tāngata ki a Rota, "Kāhore atu rānei ōu tāngata i konei? Me he hunaonga, he tama rānei āu, he tamāhine rānei āu, tētahi atu mea rānei āu i roto i te pā, mauria atu i tēnei wāhi. 13 Ka whakangaromia hoki tēnei wāhi e māua, nō te mea kua nui tō rātou karanga ki te aroaro o Ihowā; kua tonoa mai hoki māua e Ihowā ki te whakangaro."

14 Nā, ka haere a Rota, ka kōrero ki āna hunaonga i mārenatia nei ki āna tamāhine, ka mea, "Whakatika, haere atu i konei; ka whakangaromia hoki e Ihowā tēnei pā." Otiia, ki te whakaaro o āna hunaonga i rite ia ki tētahi tangata e hangareka ana.

15 Ā, i te huakanga ake o te ata, ka akiaki ngā anahera i a Rota, ka mea, "Whakatika, haria tāu wahine, me ēnei tamāhine tokorua āu, kei hunā koe i roto i te kino o tēnei pā."

16 Otirā, i whakaroa ia; nā, ka hopu aua tāngata ki tōna ringa, ki te ringa o tāna wahine, ki ngā ringa o āna tamāhine tokorua; he tohu hoki nā Ihowā i a ia. Ā, kawea atu ana ia e rāua ki waho, ka waiho i waho o te pā. 17 Ā, ka oti rātou te kawe atu e rāua ki waho, ka mea ia, "Rere atu kia ora ai koe; kaua e titiro ki muri i a koe, kaua hoki e tū ki tētahi wāhi o te mānia; rere atu ki te maunga, kei ngaro koe."

18 Nā, ka mea a Rota ki a rāua, "Kaua rā e pēnā, e tōku Ariki. 19 Nanā, kua manakohia nei tāu pononga e koe, kua whakanuia anō e koe tōu aroha i whakaputaina nei, e koe ki ahau, i a koe i whakaora nei i tōku wairua; nā, e kore e taea e ahau te rere ki te maunga, kei mau ahau i tētahi kino, ā, ka mate. 20 Titiro hoki, e tata ana tēnei pā hei rerenga atu, he mea nohinohi noa nei. Kia rere ahau ki reira nē? – Ehara ianei i te mea nohinohi? – ā, ka ora tōku wairua."

21 Anō rā ko ia ki a ia, "Nā, kua whakaae anō hoki ahau ki tēnei meatanga āu, kia kaua e hunā e ahau tēnei pā i kōrero mai nā koe. 22 Kia hohoro, rere atu ki reira; e kore hoki e taea e ahau tētahi mea, kia tae rā anō koe ki reira." Nā reira i huaina ai te ingoa o taua pā ko Toara. 23 Kua rewa te rā ki runga ki te whenua, ka tae a Rota ki Toara.

24 Kātahi ka uaina e Ihowā ki Horoma, ki Komora, he whānāriki, he ahi nā Ihowā, nō te rangi; 25 ā, hurihia iho e ia aua pā, me te mānia katoa, me ngā tāngata katoa o ngā pā, me ngā mea e tupu ana i te whenua. 26 Nā, i titiro tāna wahine ki muri i a ia, ā, meinga ana hei pou tote.

27 Ā, i maranga wawe a Āperahama i te ata ki te wāhi i tū ai ia i te aroaro o Ihowā. 28 Nā, ko tōna tirohanga atu ki te ritenga o Horoma, o Komora, ki te whenua katoa hoki o te mānia, ka kite, nā, e kake ana te paowa o te whenua, me te mea he paowa oumu.

29 Nā, i te whakangaromanga a Ihowā i ngā pā o te mānia, ka mahara te Atua ki a Āperahama, ā, tonoa ana e ia a Rota i roto i te hurihanga i tāna hurihanga i ngā pā i noho ai a Rota.

Te Pūtake o ngā Moapi me ngā Āmoni

30 Nā, ka piki atu a Rota i Toara, ka noho ki te maunga, rātou tahi ko āna tamāhine tokorua; i wehi hoki ia ki te noho i Toara; ā, ka noho i roto i tētahi ana, a ia me āna tamāhine tokorua. 31 Nā, ka mea te tuakana ki tō muri, "Kua koroheke tō tāua pāpā, ā, kāhore he tangata o te whenua hei haere mai ki a tāua, hei pērā me tō te whenua katoa tikanga. 32 Tēnā, tāua ka whakainu i tō tāua pāpā ki te wāina, ka takoto ai tāua ki a ia, kia tupu ai i a tāua tētahi uri mō tō tāua pāpā."

33 Nā, ka whakainu rāua i tō rāua pāpā ki te wāina i taua pō; ā, ka haere atu te tuakana, ka takoto ki tōna pāpā, kīhai hoki tērā i mōhio ki tōna takotoranga iho, ki tōna whakatikanga ake.

34 Ā, i te aonga ake ka mea te tuakana ki tō muri, "Nanā, i takoto ahau inapō ki tōku pāpā; tāua anō ka whakainu i a ia ki te wāina i tēnei pō; ā, māu e haere atu, e takoto ki a ia, kia tupu ai i a tāua tētahi uri mō tō tāua pāpā." 35 Nā, ka whakainu anō rāua i tō rāua pāpā ki te wāina i taua pō; ā, ka whakatika tō muri, ka takoto hoki ki a ia; ā, kīhai ia i mōhio ki tōna takotoranga iho, ki tōna whakatikanga ake.

36 Koia ka hapū ngā tamāhine tokorua a Rota i tō rāua pāpā. 37 Ā, ka whānau tā te tuakana, he tama, ā, huaina ana e ia tōna ingoa ko Moapa; ko ia te pāpā o ngā Moapi, ā tae noa ki tēnei rā. 38 Me tō muri, whānau ake anō tāna, he tama, ā, huaina iho e ia tōna ingoa ko Penami. Ko ia te pāpā o ngā tama a Āmona, ā tae noa ki tēnei rā.
