پیدایش 19
| غروب همان روز وقتی که آن دو فرشته به دروازهٔ شهر سدوم رسیدند، لوط در آنجا نشسته بود. به محض مشاهدهٔ آنها، از جا برخاست و به استقبالشان شتافت و روی بر زمین نهاده، گفت: | 1 |
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.
| «ای سَروَرانم، امشب به منزل من بیایید و پاهایتان را بشویید و میهمان من باشید. فردا صبحِ زود هر وقت بخواهید، می‌توانید حرکت کنید.» ولی آنها گفتند: «در میدان شهر شب را به سر خواهیم برد.» | 2 |
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.”
| اما لوط آنقدر اصرار نمود تا اینکه آنها راضی شدند و به خانهٔ وی رفتند. او نان فطیر پخت و شام مفصلی تهیه دید و به ایشان داد که خوردند. | 3 |
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.
| سپس در حالی که آماده می‌شدند که بخوابند، مردان شهر سدوم، پیر و جوان، از گوشه و کنار شهر، منزل لوط را محاصره کرده، | 4 |
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.
| فریاد زدند: «ای لوط، آن دو مرد را که امشب میهمان تو هستند، پیش ما بیرون بیاور تا آنها را بشناسیم.» | 5 |
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]
| لوط از منزل خارج شد تا با آنها صحبت کند و در را پشت سر خود بست. | 6 |
Lot went outside the house and shut the door behind him, so that they could not go inside.
| او به ایشان گفت: «نه، ای برادران من، خواهش می‌کنم چنین کار زشتی نکنید. | 7 |
He said to them, “My friends, don’t do such an evil thing!
| ببینید، من دو دختر باکره دارم. آنها را به شما می‌دهم. هر کاری که دلتان می‌خواهد با آنها بکنید؛ اما با این دو مرد کاری نداشته باشید، چون آنها در پناه من هستند.» | 8 |
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]!”
| مردان شهر جواب دادند: «از سر راه ما کنار برو! ما اجازه دادیم در شهر ما ساکن شوی و حالا به ما امر و نهی می‌کنی. الان با تو بدتر از آن کاری که می‌خواستیم با آنها بکنیم، خواهیم کرد.» آنگاه به طرف لوط حمله برده، شروع به شکستن در خانهٔ او نمودند. | 9 |
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.
| اما آن دو مرد دست خود را دراز کرده، لوط را به داخل خانه کشیدند و در را بستند، | 10 |
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.
| و چشمان تمام مردانی را که در بیرون خانه بودند، کور کردند تا نتوانند درِ خانه را پیدا کنند. | 11 |
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.
| آن دو مرد از لوط پرسیدند: «در این شهر چند نفر قوم و خویش داری؟ پسران و دختران و دامادان و هر کسی را که داری از این شهر بیرون ببر. | 12 |
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,
| زیرا می‌خواهیم این شهر را نابود کنیم. فریاد علیه ظلمِ مردمِ این شهر به حضور خداوند رسیده و او ما را فرستاده است تا آن را ویران کنیم.» | 13 |
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.”
| پس لوط با شتاب رفت و به نامزدان دخترانش گفت: «عجله کنید! از شهر بگریزید، چون خداوند می‌خواهد آن را ویران کند!» ولی این حرف به نظر آنها مسخره آمد. | 14 |
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.
| سپیده دم روز بعد، آن دو فرشته به لوط گفتند: «عجله کن! همسر و دو دخترت را که اینجا هستند بردار و تا دیر نشده فرار کن وگرنه شما هم با مردمِ گناهکار این شهر هلاک خواهید شد.» | 15 |
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!”
| در حالی که لوط درنگ می‌کرد آن دو مرد دستهای او و زن و دو دخترش را گرفته، به جای امنی در خارج از شهر بردند، چون خداوند بر آنها رحم کرده بود. | 16 |
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.
| یکی از آن دو مرد به لوط گفت: «برای نجات جان خود فرار کنید و به پشت سر هم نگاه نکنید. به کوهستان بروید، چون اگر در دشت بمانید مرگتان حتمی است.» | 17 |
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!”
| لوط جواب داد: «ای سَروَرم، تمنا می‌کنم از ما نخواهید چنین کاری بکنیم. | 18 |
But Lot said to one of the angels, “No, sir, don’t make me do that!
| تو در حق من خوبی کرده، جانم را نجات داده‌ای، و محبت بزرگی در حق من کرده‌ای. اما من نمی‌توانم به کوهستان فرار کنم، زیرا می‌ترسم قبل از رسیدن به آنجا این بلا دامنگیر من بشود و بمیرم. | 19 |
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].
| ببینید این دهکده چقدر نزدیک و کوچک است! اینطور نیست؟ پس بگذارید به آنجا بروم و در امان باشم.» | 20 |
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.”
| او گفت: «بسیار خوب، خواهش تو را می‌پذیرم و آن دهکده را خراب نخواهم کرد. | 21 |
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.
| پس عجله کن! زیرا تا وقتی به آنجا نرسیده‌ای، نمی‌توانم کاری انجام دهم.» (به این دلیل آن دهکده را صوغر یعنی «کوچک» نام نهادند.) | 22 |
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.
| آفتاب داشت طلوع می‌کرد که لوط وارد صوغر شد. | 23 |
As the sun was rising, Lot and his family arrived in the town which is now called Zoar.
| آنگاه خداوند از آسمان گوگرد مشتعل بر سدوم و عموره بارانید | 24 |
Then Yahweh caused fire and [burning] sulfur to fall down on Sodom and Gomorrah like rain.
| و آن دو شهر را با همهٔ شهرها و دهات آن دشت و تمام سکنه و نباتات آن به کلی نابود کرد. | 25 |
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.
| اما زن لوط به پشت سر نگاه کرد و به ستونی از نمک مبدل گردید. | 26 |
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.
| ابراهیم صبح زود برخاست و به سوی همان مکانی که در آن به حضور خداوند ایستاده بود، شتافت. | 27 |
That morning, Abraham got up and went to the place where he had stood in front of Yahweh.
| او به سوی شهرهای سدوم و عموره و آن دشت نظر انداخت و دید که اینک دود از آن شهرها چون دود کوره بالا می‌رود. | 28 |
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.
| هنگامی که خدا شهرهای دشتی را که لوط در آن ساکن بود نابود می‌کرد، دعای ابراهیم را اجابت فرمود و لوط را از گرداب مرگ که آن شهرها را به کام خود کشیده بود، رهانید. | 29 |
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.
| اما لوط ترسید در صوغر بماند. پس آنجا را ترک نموده، با دو دختر خود به کوهستان رفت و در غاری ساکن شد. | 30 |
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.
| روزی دختر بزرگ لوط به خواهرش گفت: «در تمامی این ناحیه مردی یافت نمی‌شود تا با ما ازدواج کند. پدر ما هم به‌زودی پیر خواهد شد و دیگر نخواهد توانست نسلی از خود باقی گذارد. | 31 |
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.
| پس بیا به او شراب بنوشانیم و با وی همبستر شویم و به این طریق نسل پدرمان را حفظ کنیم.» | 32 |
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.”
| پس همان شب او را مست کردند و دختر بزرگتر با پدرش همبستر شد. اما لوط از خوابیدن و برخاستن دخترش آگاه نشد. | 33 |
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.
| صبح روز بعد، دختر بزرگتر به خواهر کوچک خود گفت: «من دیشب با پدرم همبستر شدم. بیا تا امشب هم دوباره به او شراب بنوشانیم و این دفعه تو برو و با او همبستر شو تا بدین وسیله نسلی از پدرمان نگه داریم.» | 34 |
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.”
| پس آن شب دوباره او را مست کردند و دختر کوچکتر با او همبستر شد. این بار هم لوط مثل دفعهٔ پیش چیزی نفهمید. | 35 |
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.
| بدین طریق آن دو دختر از پدر خود حامله شدند. | 36 |
So Lot caused his two daughters to become pregnant.
| دختر بزرگتر پسری زایید و او را موآب نامید. (قبیلهٔ موآب از او به وجود آمد.) | 37 |
The older one later gave birth to a son, whom she named Moab. He became the ancestor of the Moab people-group.
| دختر کوچکتر نیز پسری زایید و نام او را بِن‌عمّی گذاشت. (قبیله عمون از او به وجود آمد.) | 38 |
The younger one also gave birth to a son, whom she named Ben-Ammi. He became the ancestor of the Ammon people-group.
