Kejadian 19
1 Kedua malaikat itu tiba di Sodom pada waktu petang. Lot sedang duduk di pintu gerbang Sodom dan ketika melihat mereka, bangunlah ia menyongsong mereka, lalu sujud dengan mukanya sampai ke tanah,
That evening, the two angels arrived in Sodom. Lot was sitting at the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to greet them, and prostrated himself with his face on the ground.
2 serta berkata: "Tuan-tuan, silakanlah singgah ke rumah hambamu ini, bermalamlah di sini dan basuhlah kakimu, maka besok pagi tuan-tuan boleh melanjutkan perjalanannya." Jawab mereka: "Tidak, kami akan bermalam di tanah lapang."
He said to them, “Gentlemen, please stay in my house tonight. You can wash your feet, and tomorrow you can continue your journey.” But they said, “No, we will just sleep in the city square.”
3 Tetapi karena ia sangat mendesak mereka, singgahlah mereka dan masuk ke dalam rumahnya, kemudian ia menyediakan hidangan bagi mereka, ia membakar roti yang tidak beragi, lalu mereka makan.
But Lot kept insisting strongly that they sleep in his house. So they entered his house with him, and he prepared a meal for them. He baked some bread without yeast, and they ate it.
4 Tetapi sebelum mereka tidur, orang-orang lelaki dari kota Sodom itu, dari yang muda sampai yang tua, bahkan seluruh kota, tidak ada yang terkecuali, datang mengepung rumah itu.
After they finished eating, before they went to bed, the men of Sodom [city], all of them, from the young ones to the old ones, surrounded the house.
5 Mereka berseru kepada Lot: "Di manakah orang-orang yang datang kepadamu malam ini? Bawalah mereka keluar kepada kami, supaya kami pakai mereka."
They called out to Lot, saying, “Where are the men who came to your house this evening? Bring them out, so that we can have sex with them!” [EUP]
6 Lalu keluarlah Lot menemui mereka, ke depan pintu, tetapi pintu ditutupnya di belakangnya,
Lot went outside the house and shut the door behind him, so that they could not go inside.
7 dan ia berkata: "Saudara-saudaraku, janganlah kiranya berbuat jahat.
He said to them, “My friends, don’t do such an evil thing!
8 Kamu tahu, aku mempunyai dua orang anak perempuan yang belum pernah dijamah laki-laki, baiklah mereka kubawa ke luar kepadamu; perbuatlah kepada mereka seperti yang kamu pandang baik; hanya jangan kamu apa-apakan orang-orang ini, sebab mereka memang datang untuk berlindung di dalam rumahku."
Listen to me. I have two daughters who have never had sex with any man. Let me bring them out to you now, and you can do with them whatever pleases you. But don’t do anything to these men, because they are guests in my house, [so I must protect them]!”
9 Tetapi mereka berkata: "Enyahlah!" Lagi kata mereka: "Orang ini datang ke sini sebagai orang asing dan dia mau menjadi hakim atas kita! Sekarang kami akan menganiaya engkau lebih dari pada kedua orang itu!" Lalu mereka mendesak orang itu, yaitu Lot, dengan keras, dan mereka mendekat untuk mendobrak pintu.
But they replied, “Get out of our way! You are a foreigner; so you have no right to tell us what is right! [If you don’t get out of our way], we will do worse things to you than we will do to them!” Then they lunged towards Lot, and tried forcefully to break down the door.
10 Tetapi kedua orang itu mengulurkan tangannya, menarik Lot masuk ke dalam rumah, lalu menutup pintu.
But the two angels opened the door carefully, reached out their hands, and pulled Lot to them inside the house. Then they quickly shut the door.
11 Dan mereka membutakan mata orang-orang yang di depan pintu rumah itu, dari yang kecil sampai yang besar, sehingga percumalah orang-orang itu mencari-cari pintu.
Then they caused all the men who were outside the door of the house, young and old, to become blind, so that they could not find the door.
12 Lalu kedua orang itu berkata kepada Lot: "Siapakah kaummu yang ada di sini lagi? Menantu atau anakmu laki-laki, anakmu perempuan, atau siapa saja kaummu di kota ini, bawalah mereka keluar dari tempat ini,
Then the two angels said to Lot, “Who else is with you here? If you have sons or sons-in-law or daughters or anyone else in the city who is related to you, take them out of the city,
13 sebab kami akan memusnahkan tempat ini, karena banyak keluh kesah orang tentang kota ini di hadapan TUHAN; sebab itulah TUHAN mengutus kami untuk memusnahkannya."
because we are the ones who are going to destroy this place. Yahweh considers that these people are so evil that he sent us to destroy the city.”
14 Keluarlah Lot, lalu berbicara dengan kedua bakal menantunya, yang akan kawin dengan kedua anaknya perempuan, katanya: "Bangunlah, keluarlah dari tempat ini, sebab TUHAN akan memusnahkan kota ini." Tetapi ia dipandang oleh kedua bakal menantunya itu sebagai orang yang berolok-olok saja.
So Lot went and spoke to the men who had pledged to marry his daughters. He said to them, “Hurry! Get out of this city, because Yahweh is about to destroy it!” But his future sons-in-law thought he was joking.
15 Ketika fajar telah menyingsing, kedua malaikat itu mendesak Lot, supaya bersegera, katanya: "Bangunlah, bawalah isterimu dan kedua anakmu yang ada di sini, supaya engkau jangan mati lenyap karena kedurjanaan kota ini."
As it was about to dawn the next morning, the two angels urged Lot, saying, “Get up quickly! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here with you and leave! If you don’t, you will die when [we destroy/Yahweh destroys] the city!”
16 Ketika ia berlambat-lambat, maka tangannya, tangan isteri dan tangan kedua anaknya dipegang oleh kedua orang itu, sebab TUHAN hendak mengasihani dia; lalu kedua orang itu menuntunnya ke luar kota dan melepaskannya di sana.
When Lot hesitated, the angels grasped his hand and his wife’s hand and the hands of his two daughters. They led them outside the city safely. The angels did that because Yahweh was acting mercifully toward them.
17 Sesudah kedua orang itu menuntun mereka sampai ke luar, berkatalah seorang: "Larilah, selamatkanlah nyawamu; janganlah menoleh ke belakang, dan janganlah berhenti di manapun juga di Lembah Yordan, larilah ke pegunungan, supaya engkau jangan mati lenyap."
When they were outside the city, one of the angels said, “[If you want to remain alive], run away quickly! Don’t look back! And don’t stop anywhere in the valley! Flee to the hills! If you don’t, you will die!”
18 Kata Lot kepada mereka: "Janganlah kiranya demikian, tuanku.
But Lot said to one of the angels, “No, sir, don’t make me do that!
19 Sungguhlah hambamu ini telah dikaruniai belas kasihan di hadapanmu, dan tuanku telah berbuat kemurahan besar kepadaku dengan memelihara hidupku, tetapi jika aku harus lari ke pegunungan, pastilah aku akan tersusul oleh bencana itu, sehingga matilah aku.
Please, listen. You have been pleased with me and have been very kind to me and spared my life. But I cannot flee to the mountain. If I try to do that, I will die in this disaster [PRS].
20 Sungguhlah kota yang di sana itu cukup dekat kiranya untuk lari ke sana; kota itu kecil; izinkanlah kiranya aku lari ke sana. Bukankah kota itu kecil? Jika demikian, nyawaku akan terpelihara."
But listen to me. There is a town nearby. Let me run to that small town. Let me go there now. It is a small town, but our lives will be saved if we go there.”
21 Sahut malaikat itu kepadanya: "Baiklah, dalam hal inipun permintaanmu akan kuterima dengan baik; yakni kota yang telah kau sebut itu tidak akan kutunggangbalikkan.
One of the angels said to Lot, “I will allow you to do what you have requested [MTY]. I will not destroy the little town you are speaking about.
22 Cepatlah, larilah ke sana, sebab aku tidak dapat berbuat apa-apa, sebelum engkau sampai ke sana." Itulah sebabnya nama kota itu disebut Zoar.
But hurry! Run there, because I cannot destroy anything until you arrive there.” People later called the name of the town Zoar [which means ‘small’, ] because Lot said it was small.
23 Matahari telah terbit menyinari bumi, ketika Lot tiba di Zoar.
As the sun was rising, Lot and his family arrived in the town which is now called Zoar.
24 Kemudian TUHAN menurunkan hujan belerang dan api atas Sodom dan Gomora, berasal dari TUHAN, dari langit;
Then Yahweh caused fire and [burning] sulfur to fall down on Sodom and Gomorrah like rain.
25 dan ditunggangbalikkan-Nyalah kota-kota itu dan Lembah Yordan dan semua penduduk kota-kota serta tumbuh-tumbuhan di tanah.
In that way, he destroyed those cities and all the people who were living in those cities. He also destroyed everything in the valley, including all the plants/vegetation.
26 Tetapi isteri Lot, yang berjalan mengikutnya, menoleh ke belakang, lalu menjadi tiang garam.
But Lot’s wife stopped and looked back [to see what was happening], so she died, and her body [later] became a pillar of salt.
27 Ketika Abraham pagi-pagi pergi ke tempat ia berdiri di hadapan TUHAN itu,
That morning, Abraham got up and went to the place where he had stood in front of Yahweh.
28 dan memandang ke arah Sodom dan Gomora serta ke seluruh tanah Lembah Yordan, maka dilihatnyalah asap dari bumi membubung ke atas sebagai asap dari dapur peleburan.
He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and he [was surprised to] see that all over the valley, smoke was rising, like the smoke of a huge furnace.
29 Demikianlah pada waktu Allah memusnahkan kota-kota di Lembah Yordan dan menunggangbalikkan kota-kota kediaman Lot, maka Allah ingat kepada Abraham, lalu dikeluarkan-Nyalah Lot dari tengah-tengah tempat yang ditunggangbalikkan itu.
So, when God destroyed those cities in the valley, he remembered what he had promised Abraham, and he rescued Lot from the disaster that occurred in the cities where Lot had lived.
30 Pergilah Lot dari Zoar dan ia menetap bersama-sama dengan kedua anaknya perempuan di pegunungan, sebab ia tidak berani tinggal di Zoar, maka diamlah ia dalam suatu gua beserta kedua anaknya.
Lot was afraid to stay in Zoar, so he left there and moved with his two daughters to the mountain, and they lived in a cave.
31 Kata kakaknya kepada adiknya: "Ayah kita telah tua, dan tidak ada laki-laki di negeri ini yang dapat menghampiri kita, seperti kebiasaan seluruh bumi.
One day the older daughter said to (the younger daughter/her sister), “Our father is old, and there is no man in this area who can have sex [EUP] with us, as people all over the earth do.
32 Marilah kita beri ayah kita minum anggur, lalu kita tidur dengan dia, supaya kita menyambung keturunan dari ayah kita."
Let’s make our father drink wine until he gets drunk. Then we can have sex with him [EUP] [without him knowing it]. In that way [he will cause us to become pregnant] and we can bear children.”
33 Pada malam itu mereka memberi ayah mereka minum anggur, lalu masuklah yang lebih tua untuk tidur dengan ayahnya; dan ayahnya itu tidak mengetahui ketika anaknya itu tidur dan ketika ia bangun.
So that night they caused their father to become drunk. And the older daughter went in and lay in bed with her father, and he had sex with her, but he was so drunk that he did not know when she lay down with him or when she got up.
34 Keesokan harinya berkatalah kakaknya kepada adiknya: "Tadi malam aku telah tidur dengan ayah; baiklah malam ini juga kita beri dia minum anggur; masuklah engkau untuk tidur dengan dia, supaya kita menyambung keturunan dari ayah kita."
The next day, his older daughter said to (his younger daughter/her sister), “Listen to me. Last night I slept with our father. Let’s cause him to become drunk again tonight! This time you can go and sleep with him. If he has sex with you, you can become pregnant, and that way you can have a child, too.”
35 Demikianlah juga pada malam itu mereka memberi ayah mereka minum anggur, lalu bangunlah yang lebih muda untuk tidur dengan ayahnya; dan ayahnya itu tidak mengetahui ketika anaknya itu tidur dan ketika ia bangun.
So that night, they caused their father to become drunk with wine again, and then his younger daughter went and slept with him. But again, he was so drunk that he did not know when she lay down with him or when she got up.
36 Lalu mengandunglah kedua anak Lot itu dari ayah mereka.
So Lot caused his two daughters to become pregnant.
37 Yang lebih tua melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, dan menamainya Moab; dialah bapa orang Moab yang sekarang.
The older one later gave birth to a son, whom she named Moab. He became the ancestor of the Moab people-group.
38 Yang lebih mudapun melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, dan menamainya Ben-Ami; dialah bapa bani Amon yang sekarang.
The younger one also gave birth to a son, whom she named Ben-Ammi. He became the ancestor of the Ammon people-group.
