Kamtawngnae 19
1 Kalvantami kahni touh tangmin lah Sodom kho a tho roi. Lot teh khopui thung kâennae longkha koe a tahung teh, Lot ni ahnimouh roi a hmu navah dawn hanelah a thaw teh, talai dawk a tabo.
And the two agents came to Sodom at evening, and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. And Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them. And he bowed himself with his face to the earth,
2 Ahni ni ka bawipa roi, pahren lahoi na sanpa im kâen roi nateh roe rawi ei. Na khok hai pâsu roi ei telah atipouh. Ahnimouh roi ni telah nahoeh, alawilah ka roe roi han doeh atipouh.
and he said, Behold now, my lords, turn aside, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your way. And they said, No, but we will abide in the street all night.
3 Hatei, puenghoi a pasawt dawkvah, ahni koe a cei roi teh, im thung a kâen roi. Hahoi, tonphuenhoehe vaiyei a poe teh a ca roi.
And he urged them greatly. And they turned in to him, and entered into his house. And he made a feast for them, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
4 Ahnimanaw a i awh hoehnahlan vah, Sodom kho e tongpa camo matawng abuemlah a tho awh teh, im khik a kalup awh.
But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, encompassed the house around, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.
5 Lot a kaw awh teh, tapa tangmin lah na im ka tho e tami roi namaw ao. Hote tami roi ikhai hanelah ka ngai awh, alawilah tâcawt sak telah atipouh awh.
And they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men who came in to thee this night? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.
6 Lot teh takhang koehoi alawilah ahnimouh koe a tâco teh, tho a khan hnukkhu,
And Lot went out to them to the door, and shut the door after him.
7 ka hmaunawnghanaw pahren lahoi thoenae sak awh hanh.
And he said, I pray you, my brothers, do not so wickedly.
8 Khenhaw! tongpa ka panuek hoeh rae ka canu kahni touh ka tawn. Na ngai patetlah na ti thai awh. Hatdawkvah, pahren lahoi ahnimouh roi nangmouh koe ka tâco sak han. Imyin roi koe teh banghai sak awh hanh.
Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known a man. Let me, I pray you, bring them out to you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes. Only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the shadow of my roof.
9 Ahnimanaw ni, kâhnawnh telah atipouh awh. Hahoi nang teh imyin lah na o eiteh, lawkcengkung lah o hanelah na kâcai. Hatdawkvah, ahnimanaw koe ka sak awh e hlak nang koe hoe kathout lah ka sak awh han telah atipouh awh. Hahoi Lot hah rek a savek awh teh, tho hai peng raphoe hanelah a tho awh.
And they said, Stand back. And they said, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will be a judge. Now we will deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed greatly upon the man, even Lot, and drew near to break the door.
10 Hatei, ahnimouh roi ni a kut hoi imthung lah Lot hah a sawn roi teh, tho khik a khan sin roi.
But the men put forth their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
11 Tho teng kaawm e tami kathoeng kalen abuemlahoi a mit a dawn sak teh, tho hmawt thai awh hoeh.
And they smote 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 Ahnimouh roi ni Lot koevah, hivah nang hoi na kâkuen e tami ao rah maw. Na langa, capanaw, canunaw, hoehpawiteh, khothung kaawm e tâcawtkhai leih.
And the men said to Lot, Have thou here any besides? Son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whomever thou have in the city, bring them out of the place.
13 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA hmalah a hramki awh teh, a tarannae a len poung toe. Hatdawkvah, hie hmuen raphoe hanelah BAWIPA ni na patoun roi e doeh telah atipouh.
For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them has been great before Jehovah. And Jehovah has sent us to destroy it.
14 Lot a tâco teh, a canu ka lat e a cavanaw koevah, thaw awh leih. Hete hmuen heh tâcawt takhai awh leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni khopui a raphoe han toe atipouh. Hatei, a cavanaw ni panuilai lah a pouk awh.
And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place, for Jehovah will destroy the city. But he seemed to his sons-in-law as a man jesting.
15 Amom kho vumpava a dai navah, kalvantami roi ni, thaw leih, na yu hoi na canu roi tâcawtkhai leih, nahoeh pawiteh, hete kho reknae na khang payon vaih telah ngangngang a cangawt.
And when the morning arose, then the agents hurried Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters who are here, lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
16 Hatei, a hnanthoe dawkvah, kalvantami roi ni, ama hoi a yu, a canu roi hoi a kut dawk hoi a sawn teh, khopui alawilah a tâcokhai. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni a pahren dawk doeh.
But he lingered. And the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters, Jehovah being merciful to him, and they brought him forth, and set him outside the city.
17 Alawilah, a tâcokhai awh hnukkhu, na hringnae a hlout thai nahanlah yawng leih. Hnuklah kamlang laihoi khen hanh. Tanghling koe khoeroe awm hanh. Mon vah yawng leih. Nahoeh pawiteh na due han telah atipouh.
And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life, do not look behind thee, neither stay thou in all the Plain. Escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
18 Lot ni ahnimouh roi koe, telah nahoeh, ka bawipa roi.
And Lot said to them, Oh, not so, my lord.
19 Na sanpa ni na mithmu vah minhmai kahawi ka hmu toe. Ka hringnae na hlout sak teh, kai dawk lungpatawnae kalen poung na kamnue sak toe. Hatei, mon lah teh ka yawng thai mahoeh. Telah nahoeh pawiteh, runae ni na kei vaiteh, kadout han doeh.
Behold now, thy servant has found favor in thy sight, and thou have magnified thy loving kindness, which thou have shown to me in saving my life, and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die.
20 Khenhaw! hote kho teh yawng nahane a hnaica. Kho kathoungcalah hai ao. Hote kho kathoengca koe na yawng sak haw. Ka hring han doeh telah atipouh.
Behold now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (is it not a little one?), and my soul shall live.
21 Ahnimouh roi ni na kâhei e patetlah lung na kuep khai toe. Na dei e kho teh ka raphoe mahoeh.
And he said to him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which thou have spoken.
22 Karanglah hawvah yawng leih. Hote kho dawk na pha hoehnahlan bang hno hai ka sak thai mahoeh atipouh. Hatdawkvah, hote kho teh Zoar telah min a phung.
Hasten thee, escape there, for I cannot do anything till thou have come there. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23 Zoar kho dawk Lot a kâen navah talai van kanî teh a tâconae toe.
The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
24 Hahoi BAWIPA ni BAWIPA ma koehoi e ganhmai Sodom hoi Gomorrah kho dawk kho lah a rak sak.
Then Jehovah rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah out of heaven.
25 Hote khopui roi hoi thingyei yawn pueng, khopui karingkungnaw abuemlah talai hoi ka paw e thingkung pueng koung a raphoe.
And he overthrew those cities, and all the Plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26 Hatei, a yu teh hnuklah a kangvawi dawkvah, palawi khom lah a kangcoung.
But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 Abraham teh BAWIPA hmalah a kangduenae hmuen koe amom vah a cei.
And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Jehovah.
28 Sodom hoi Gomorrah thingyei yawn pueng a khet navah, takhuen koe e hmaikhu patetlah ram pueng dawk e hmaikhu kahlun lah a luen e hah a hmu.
And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the Plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.
29 Hottelah Cathut ni thingyei yawn dawk e khopuinaw a raphoe lahunnah hoi Lot onae khopuinaw a raphoe nah Cathut ni Abraham a pahnim hoeh dawkvah, Lot teh rawknae koehoi a hlout sak.
And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the Plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt.
30 Hottelah Lot teh, Zoar kho hoi a luen teh mon dawk kho a sak. A canu kahni touh hai ama koe ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Zoar kho dawk o hane ngam hoeh. Hahoi a canu kahni touh hoi lungngoum thung ao awh.
And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, for he feared to dwell in Zoar. And he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
31 A canu kacue e ni a nawngha koe, apa a matawng toe, talai van e phung patetlah maimouh roi na ka ipkhai hane tongpa awm hoeh.
And the firstborn said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man on the earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth.
32 Thohaw, apa misurtui pânei roi sei. Apa e miphun apout hoeh nahanlah ipkhai roi sei, telah atipouh.
Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed by our father.
33 Hote tangmin vah, misurtui a na pa a pânei roi teh, a na pa ni a ikhai e hoi bout a thaw e hah panuek hoeh.
And they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. And he did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34 Atangtho amom teh, kacue e ni paduem tangmin apa hoi kai ka i roi toe. Atu tangmin vah misurtui bout pânei sei. Apa e miphun a pout hoeh nahanelah, nang louk ipkhai loe atipouh.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said to the younger, Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine this night also, and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed by our father.
35 Hote tangmin haiyah a na pa misurtui a pânei roi hnukkhu, kanaw e ni a na pa a ikhai teh, a i e hoi bout a thaw e a na pa ni panuek hoeh.
And they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose, and lay with him. And he did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
36 Hottelah Lot e canu roi teh camo a vawn roi.
Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
37 Kacue e ni tongpa a khe teh, Moab telah a min a phung. Hote tami teh atu kaawm e Moab miphunnaw e a na pa lah ao.
And the firstborn bore a son, and called his name Moab. The same is the father of the Moabites to this day.
38 Kanaw e ni hai tongpa a khe teh, Benammi telah min a phung. Hote tami teh sahnin totouh kaawm e Ammon miphunnaw e a na pa doeh.
And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi. The same is the father of the sons of Ammon to this day.
