Jenèz 19
1 Alò, de zanj te vini Sodome nan aswè lè Lot te chita nan pòtay Sodome nan. Lè Lot te wè yo, li te leve pou rankontre yo. Li te bese ba avèk figi li atè.
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 Epi li te di: “Koulye a, gade byen, frè m yo, souple vire akote nan kay sèvitè ou a, pou pase nwit lan. Lave pye nou, pou nou kapab leve bonè pou fè wout nou.” Malgre sa, yo te di: “Non, men nou va pase nwit lan nan lari a.”
and he said, "See now, my lords, please turn aside into your servant's house, and stay all night, and wash your feet, then you may rise up early, and go on your way." They said, "No, but we will stay in the street all night."
3 Men li te plede avèk yo avèk fòs. Konsa yo te vire akote vè li e te antre lakay li a, e li te prepare yon gwo manje pou yo. Anplis li te kwit pen san ledven a, e yo te manje.
But he urged them so strongly that they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
4 Avan yo gen tan kouche, mesye Sodome yo te antoure kay la, ni jèn, ni vye, tout moun ki te sòti nan tout katye yo.
But before they could lie down to sleep, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.
5 Konsa, yo te rele Lot e te di li: “Kote mesye sa yo ki te vin kote ou aswè a? Mennen yo bannou pou nou kapab antre an relasyon avèk yo.”
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 Men Lot te sòti kote yo nan pòtay la, e te fèmen pòt la dèyè l.
Lot went out to them at the entrance, and shut the door behind him.
7 Li te di: “Souple, frè m yo, pa aji avèk mechanste.
He said, "Please, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.
8 Byen gade, mwen gen de fi ki pa janm antre an relasyon avèk yon gason. Souple, kite m mennen yo deyò pou nou, e fè avèk yo sa ke nou pito, men pa fè anyen avèk mesye sa yo, akoz se anba pwotèj twati mwen yo gen tan vini.”
Look, 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 do not do anything to these men, because they have come under the protection of my roof."
9 Men yo te di: “Mete ou akote.” Anplis ke sa yo te di: “Sila te antre tankou etranje, e deja l ap aji kòm jij. Pou sa a, nou va trete ou pi mal pase yo.” Epi yo te peze rèd kont Lot, e yo te prèt pou kase pòt la.
They said, "Stand back." They said, "This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now will we deal worse with you, than with them." They pressed hard on the man Lot, and drew near to break the door.
10 Men mesye yo nan kay la te lonje men yo rale Lot anndan avèk yo, e yo te fèmen pòt la.
But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
11 Yo te frape mesye ki te nan pòtay kay la pou yo vin avèg, ni piti ni gran, pou yo fatige kò yo e pou yo pa t ka twouve pòt la.
They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they were unable to find the door.
12 Konsa, de mesye yo te di Lot: “Kilès ankò ke ou gen isit la? Yon bofis, fis ou yo, e nenpòt moun ou gen nan vil la, mennen yo sòti kite plas sa a,
The men said to Lot, "Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whoever you have in the city, bring them out of the place:
13 paske nou prèt pou detwi plas sila a, akoz plent pa yo gen tan vin tèlman gran devan SENYÈ a, ke SENYÈ a te voye nou pou detwi li.”
for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before God that he has sent us to destroy it."
14 Lot te ale deyò pou te pale avèk bofis li yo, ki te prèt pou marye avèk fi li yo, e li te di: “Leve sòti kite plas sila a, paske SENYÈ a va detwi vil la.” Men li te sanble a bofis li a ke se yon blag ke li t ap fè.
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 God will destroy the city." But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.
15 Lè maten an te rive, zanj yo te bourade Lot. Yo te di l: “Leve, pran madanm ou avèk de fis ou yo ki isit la, oswa ou va vin disparèt nan pinisyon vil la.”
When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot along, saying, "Get up. Take your wife, and your two daughters who are here, and get out, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city."
16 Men li te fè reta. Pou sa, mesye sa yo te sezi men l avèk men madanm li avèk men a de fi li yo, paske konpasyon SENYÈ a te sou li. Yo te mennen li deyò, e yo te mete l deyò vil la.
But he hesitated, so the men grabbed his hand, his wife's hand, and his two daughters' hands, God being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.
17 Lè yo te mennen yo deyò, youn nan yo te di: “Sove ale pou lavi ou! Pa gade dèyè, e pa rete nan okenn kote nan vale a. Sove ale nan mòn yo, oswa ou va detwi nèt.”
It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, "Escape for your life. Do not look behind you, and do not stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, or you will be swept away."
18 Men Lot de di yo: “Alò, li pa konsa, mèt mwen yo!
Lot said to them, "Oh, not so, my lord.
19 Koulye a gade byen, sèvitè nou an gen tan twouve favè nan zye nou, nou te montre jan mizerikòd nou gran nan sove vi m, men mwen p ap kapab chape nan mòn yo, paske malè a va gen tan rive sou mwen, e mwen va mouri.
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 the disaster overtake me, and I die.
20 Gade byen, vil sila a ase pre pou m sove ale ladann, e li piti. Souple, kite mwen chape pa la. Èske li pa piti? Konsa vi m kapab sove.”
See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there--isn't it a little one?--and my life will be saved."
21 Li te di li: “Gade byen, mwen ba ou demann sa a tou, pou pa detwi vil la sou sila ou te pale a.
He said to him, "Look, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.
22 Fè vit, chape rive la, paske mwen pa kapab fè anyen jiskaske ou rive la.” Pou sa yo te rele vil la Tsoar.
Hurry, escape there, for I can't do anything until you get there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23 Solèy la te gen tan fin leve sou tè a lè Lot te rive Tsoar.
The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
24 Epi SENYÈ a te fè souf avèk dife ki sòti nan syèl la, tonbe tankou lapli sou Sodome avèk Gomorrhe.
Then the LORD rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the sky.
25 Li te detwi vil sila yo, ak tout vale a, ak tout moun ki te rete nan vil yo, ansanm ak sa ki te grandi nan tè a.
He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.
26 Men madanm li ki te dèyè li te gade dèyè, e li te tounen yon pilye sèl.
But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 Alò, Abraham te leve granmmaten. Li te ale nan plas kote li te kanpe devan SENYÈ a,
Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before God.
28 epi li te gade anba vè Sodome avèk Gomorrhe, vè tout teren nan vale a. Li te wè, e gade byen, lafimen te monte tankou lafimen ki sòti nan founo.
He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and he saw; and look, the smoke was rising from the land like smoke from a furnace.
29 Se konsa li rive ke lè Bondye te detwi vil yo nan vale a, ke Li te sonje Abraham. Li te voye Lot deyò dega a, lè li te boulvèse vil yo nan sila Lot te rete.
It happened, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.
30 Lot te kite Tsoar e monte. Li te rete nan mòn yo avèk de fi li yo avè l, paske li te pè rete Tsoar. Li te rete nan yon kav, li menm avèk de fis li yo.
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 Alò premye ne a te vin di a pi Jèn nan: “Papa nou vin vye, e nou pa gen gason sou latè pou vin antre nan nou apre sistèm sou tè a.
The firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man in the land to sleep with us according to the custom of all the land.
32 Vini, annou fè papa nou bwè diven, e annou kouche avè l pou nou kapab prezève fanmi nou an pa papa nou.”
Come, let's make our father drink wine, and we will sleep with him, that we may preserve our family through our father."
33 Pou sa, yo te fè papa yo bwè diven menm nwit lan, e premye ne a te antre kouche avèk papa li. Li pa t konnen ni lè li te kouche a, ni lè li te leve a.
They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and slept with her father. He did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34 Jou swivan an, premye ne a te di a pi Jèn nan, “Gade byen, yè swa mwen te kouche avèk papa m. Annou fè li bwè diven aswè a tou, epi ou menm antre kouche avè l, pou nou prezève fanmi nou an ak papa nou.”
It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, "Look, I slept last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine again tonight. You go in, and sleep with him, that we may preserve our family through our father."
35 Alò, yo te fè papa yo bwè diven nan nwit lan tou, epi pi Jèn nan te leve e kouche avè l. Epi li pa t konnen ni lè li te kouche a, ni lè li te leve a.
They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and slept with him. He did not know when she lay down, nor when she got up.
36 Konsa tou de fi a Lot yo te vin ansent pa papa yo.
Thus both of Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father.
37 Premye ne a te fè yon fis, e li te rele non li Moab. Li se papa a Moabit yo jis rive jodi a.
The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.
38 Epi pou pi Jèn nan, li te fè yon fis tou, e li te rele li Ben-Ammi. Li se papa a tout fis Ammon yo jis rive jodi a.
The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. He is the father of the people of Ammon to this day.
