< Genesis 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,
Ba-anjelu oyo mibale bakomaki na Sodome na pokwa. Wana Loti avandaki na ekuke, amonaki bango, akendeki koyamba bango mpe afukamaki elongi kino na mabele.
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.”
Alobaki na bango: — Nabondeli bino, bankolo na ngai, boya na ndako ya mosali na bino. Bokoki kosukola kuna makolo na bino mpe kolekisa butu, bongo na tongo, bokoki kokoba mobembo na bino. Bazongiselaki ye: — Te, tokolala kaka libanda.
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.
Kasi Loti abondelaki bango mingi; boye bandimaki kokende na ye elongo mpe bakotaki na ndako na ye. Alambelaki bango bilei ya kitoko, atumbaki mapa ezanga levire mpe baliaki.
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.
Liboso ete bakende kolala, mibali nyonso ya engumba Sodome, bilenge mpe mibange, bawutaki bipai na bipai mpe bayaki kozingela ndako.
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.”
Babelelaki Loti: — Wapi mibali oyo bayaki epai na yo na butu oyo? Bimisela biso bango mpo ete tosangisa na bango nzoto.
6 Lot went out to them through the door, and shut the door after himself.
Loti abimaki mpo na kosolola na bango; akangaki ekuke sima na ye.
7 He said, “Please, my brothers, don’t act so wickedly.
Alobaki: — Te, baninga na ngai, bosala mabe te!
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.”
Boyoka! Nazali na bana basi mibale oyo bayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te. Tika ete namemela bino bango libanda! Bosala bango nyonso oyo bolingi. Kasi bosala bato oyo eloko moko te mpo ete bayei kovanda na ndako na ngai.
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.
Bazongisaki: — Longwa wana. Balobaki lisusu: — Botala moto oyo, ayaki awa lokola mopaya; sik’oyo alingi komikomisa mosambisi. Tokosala yo mabe koleka bango. Bongo batindikaki Loti na makasi mpe bapusanaki pene ya ekuke mpo na koluka kobuka yango.
10 But the men reached out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
Kasi mibali oyo bazalaki kati na ndako babimisaki maboko mpe babendaki Loti na kati ya ndako mpe bakangaki ekuke.
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.
Bakangaki miso ya bato nyonso oyo bazalaki na ekuke ya ndako, ezala bilenge to mibange; boye bazalaki lisusu komona ekuke te.
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:
Mibali yango mibale balobaki na Loti: — Ozali lisusu na moto mosusu na engumba oyo, ndakisa: mibali ya bana na yo ya basi, bana na yo ya mibali mpe ya basi to mpe ndeko mosusu? Bimisa bango libanda ya esika oyo
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.”
mpo ete tolingi kobebisa yango. Sango ya makambo mabe ya bato oyo ekomi kino epai na Yawe; yango wana Yawe atindi biso mpo na kobebisa engumba oyo.
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.
Boye Loti abimaki mpe akendeki koyebisa babandami ya mabala ya bana na ye ya basi. Alobaki: « Bosala noki mpe bobima na esika oyo, pamba te Yawe alingi kobebisa engumba oyo! » Kasi babandami ya mabala ya bana na ye ya basi bakanisaki ete azali kosala maseki.
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.”
Tango kaka tongo etanaki, ba-anjelu batungisaki Loti mpe balobaki: — Sala noki, kamata mwasi na yo mpe bana na yo mibale ya basi oyo bazali awa; soki te, bokobebisama tango engumba oyo ekozwa etumbu.
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.
Lokola azalaki kowumela, mibali yango bakangaki na makasi loboko na ye, maboko ya mwasi mpe ya bana na ye ya basi; mpe bamemaki bango na libanda ya engumba, pamba te Yawe ayokelaki bango mawa.
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!”
Tango kaka babimisaki bango na libanda, moko kati na mibali yango alobaki: — Bokima mpo ete bobikisa bomoi na bino! Botala sima te mpe botelema ata esika moko te kati na engumba oyo! Bokima na likolo ya bangomba, noki te bokobebisama!
18 Lot said to them, “Oh, not so, my lord.
Kasi Loti azongisaki: — Te, nkolo na ngai, tika ete esalema bongo te!
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.
Mosali na yo azwi ngolu na miso na yo, mpe otalisi ngai bolamu makasi na ndenge obikisi bomoi na ngai. Kasi nakokoka te kokima na likolo ya bangomba, noki te likama ekokomela ngai mpe nakokufa.
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.”
Tala, ezali na engumba moko pene awa mpo na kokimela, yango ezali penza moke. Tika ngai nakimela kuna atako ezali moke mpo ete nabikisa bomoi na ngai!
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.
Anjelu alobaki na ye: — Malamu mingi, nakokokisela yo lisusu bosenga oyo. Nakobebisa te engumba oyo ozali kolobela.
22 Hurry, escape there, for I can’t do anything until you get there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
Kasi kima noki, pamba te nakoki kosala eloko moko te soki okomi nanu kuna te. Yango wana babengaka engumba yango Tsoari.
23 The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
Loti akomaki na Tsoari tango tongo etanaki.
24 Then Yahweh rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from Yahweh out of the sky.
Boye wuta na likolo, Yawe anokisaki mvula ya moto makasi ya fofolo, na sodome mpe na Gomore.
25 He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.
Abebisaki bingumba yango, etando nyonso elongo na bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kovanda kuna mpe banzete nyonso.
26 But Lot’s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Kasi mwasi ya Loti atalaki na sima mpe akomaki ekeko ya mungwa.
27 Abraham went up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Yahweh.
Na tongo makasi, Abrayami amataki na esika oyo atelemaki liboso ya Yawe;
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.
atalaki na ngambo ya Sodome mpe ya Gomore, mpe na ngambo ya mokili ya etando; amonaki molinga makasi komata wuta na mokili lokola molinga ya fulu monene ya moto.
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.
Boye, tango Nzambe abebisaki bingumba ya etando, akanisaki Abrayami mpe abikisaki Loti na likama oyo atindelaki bingumba epai wapi Loti azalaki kovanda.
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.
Loti mpe bana na ye mibale ya basi babimaki na Tsoari, bakendeki kovanda na bangomba, pamba te azalaki kobanga kotikala kuna. Ye elongo na bana na ye mibale ya basi bakendeki kovanda kati na lidusu ya libanga.
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.
Mokolo moko, kulutu alobaki na leki na ye: « Tata na biso akomi mobange, mpe na etuka oyo, mobali oyo akosangisa na biso nzoto ndenge esalemaka na mokili mobimba, azali te.
32 Come, let’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”
Tika ete tomelisa tata na biso masanga ya vino mpe tosangisa na ye nzoto mpo ete, na nzela ya tata na biso, libota na biso ebunga te. »
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.
Na butu wana, bazwaki masanga ya vino mpe bamelisaki tata na bango. Boye kulutu akendeki mpe asangisaki nzoto na tata na ye, mpe tata na ye atikalaki koyeba likambo yango te, ezala tango mwana na ye ya mwasi akendeki epai na ye to tango alongwaki.
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.”
Mokolo oyo elandaki, kulutu alobaki na leki: « Na butu oyo ewuti koleka, nasangisaki nzoto na tata na ngai. Tika ete topesa ye lisusu masanga ya vino na butu ya lelo, mpe yo okokende kosangisa na ye nzoto mpo ete, na nzela ya tata na biso, libota na biso ebunga te. »
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.
Na butu wana lisusu, bazwaki masanga ya vino mpe bamelisaki tata na bango; bongo leki akendeki mpe asangisaki nzoto na tata na ye. Tata na ye atikalaki kaka koyeba likambo yango te, ezala tango mwana na ye ya mwasi akendeki epai na ye to tango alongwaki.
36 Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father.
Boye bana basi oyo mibale ya Loti bakomaki na zemi ya tata na bango.
37 The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.
Kulutu abotaki mwana mobali mpe apesaki ye kombo « Moabi; » azali tata ya ekolo ya Moabi, kino na mokolo ya lelo.
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.
Leki mpe abotaki lisusu mwana mobali mpe apesaki ye kombo « Beni-Ami; » azali tata ya ekolo ya Amoni, kino na mokolo ya lelo.
