Postanak 19
1 Ona dva anđela stignu navečer u Sodomu dok je Lot sjedio na vratima Sodome. Kad ih Lot ugleda, ustade i pođe im u susret. Nakloni se licem do zemlje,
And the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of the city. And seeing them, he rose up and went to meet them: and worshipped prostrate to the ground,
2 a onda im reče: “Molim, gospodo, svrnite u kuću svoga sluge da noć provedete i noge operete; a onda možete na put rano.” A oni rekoše: “Ne, noć ćemo provesti na trgu.”
And said: I beseech you, my lords, turn in to the house of your servant, and lodge there: wash your feet, and in the morning you shall go on your way. And they said: No, but we will abide in the street.
3 Ali ih on uporno navraćaše, i oni se uvratiše k njemu i uđoše u njegovu kuću. On ih ugosti, ispeče pogaču te blagovaše.
He pressed them very much to turn in unto him: and when they were come into his house, he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread and they ate:
4 Još ne bijahu legli na počinak, kad građani Sodome, mladi i stari, sav narod do posljednjeg čovjeka, opkole kuću.
But before they went to bed, the men of the city beset the house both young and old, all the people together.
5 Zovnu Lota pa mu reknu: “Gdje su ljudi što su noćas došli k tebi? Izvedi nam ih da ih se namilujemo?”
And they called Lot, and said to him: Where are the men that came in to thee at night? bring them out hither that we may know them:
6 Lot iziđe k njima na ulaz, a za sobom zatvori vrata.
Lot went out to them, and shut the door after him, and said:
7 “Braćo moja,” reče on, “molim vas, ne činite toga zla!
Do not so, I beseech you, my brethren, do not commit this evil.
8 Imam, evo, dvije kćeri s kojima još čovjek nije imao dodira: njih ću vam izvesti pa činite s njima što želite; samo ovim ljudima nemojte ništa učiniti jer su došli pod sjenu moga krova.”
I have two daughters who as yet have not known man: I will bring them out to you, and abuse you them as it shall please you, so that you do no evil to these men, because they are come in under the shadow of my roof.
9 “Odstupi odatle!” - rekoše. - “Došao kao dotepenac, a za suca se već postavlja. Sad ćemo mi s tobom gore nego s njima.” I nasrnuše na jadnika Lota i navališe na vrata da ih razbiju.
But they said: Get thee back thither. And again: Thou camest in, said they, as a, stranger, was it to be a judge? therefore we will afflict thee more than them. And they pressed very violently upon Lot: and they were even at the point of breaking open the doors.
10 Ali ona dvojica pruže ruke van, povukoše Lota k sebi u kuću i zatvore vrata;
And behold the men put out their hand, and drew in Lot unto them, and shut the door:
11 a ljude pred vratima, mlade i stare, zabliješte tako da nisu mogli naći vrata.
And them that were without, they struck with blindness from the least to the greatest, so that they could not find the door.
12 Onda ona dvojica upitaju Lota: “Koga još ovdje imaš: sinove i kćeri, sve koje imaš u gradu iz mjesta izvedi!
And they said to Lot: Hast thou here any of thine? son in law, or sons, or daughters, all that are thine bring them out of this city:
13 Jer mi ćemo zatrti ovo mjesto: vika je na njih pred Jahvom postala tolika te nas Jahve posla da ga uništimo.”
For we will destroy this place, because their cry is grown loud before the Lord, who hath sent us to destroy them.
14 Iziđe Lot da to kaže svojima budućim zetovima koji namjeravahu uzeti njegove kćeri te reče: “Na noge! Odlazite iz ovog mjesta jer će Jahve uništiti grad!” Ali je u očima svojih budućih zetova ispao kao da zbija šalu.
So Lot went out, and spoke to his sons in law that were to have his daughters, and said: Arise: get you out of this place, because the Lord will destroy this city. And he seemed to them to speak as it were in jest.
15 Kako zora puče, anđeli navale na Lota govoreći: “Na noge! Uzmi svoju ženu i svoje dvije kćeri koje su ovdje da ne budeš zatrt kaznom grada!”
And when it was morning, the angels pressed him, saying: Arise, take thy wife, and the two daughters which thou hast: lest thou also perish in the wickedness of the city.
16 Ali on oklijevaše. Zato ga oni uzeše za ruku, a tako i njegovu ženu i njegove dvije kćeri i - po smilovanju Jahvinu nad njim - odvedoše ih i ostaviše izvan grada.
And as he lingered, they took his hand, and the hand of his wife, and of his two daughters, because the Lord spared him.
17 Kad ih izvedoše u polje, jedan progovori: “Bježi da život spasiš! Ne obaziri se niti se igdje u ravnici zaustavljaj! Bježi u brdo da ne budeš zatrt!”
And they brought him forth, and set him without the city: and there they spoke to him, saying: Save thy life: look not back, neither stay thou in all the country about: but save thyself in the mountain, lest thou be also consumed.
18 Ali Lot odvrati: “Nemoj, gospodine!
And Lot said to them: I beseech thee my Lord,
19 Nego ako je tvoj sluga našao milost u tvojim očima - a toliko milosrđe već si mi iskazao spasivši mi život - ja ne mogu pobjeći u brdo a da me nesreća ne snađe i ne poginem.
Because thy servant hath found grace before thee, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewn to me, in saving my life, and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil seize me, and I die:
20 Eno onamo grada; dosta je blizu da u nj pobjegnem, a mjesto je tako malo. Daj da onamo bježim - mjesto je zbilja maleno - daj da život spasim!”
There is this city here at hand, to which I may flee, it is a little one, and I shall be saved in it: is it not a little one, and my soul shall live?
21 Odgovori mu: “Uslišat ću ti i tu molbu i neću zatrti grada o kojemu govoriš.
And he said to him: Behold also in this, I have heard thy prayers, not to destroy the city for which thou hast spoken.
22 Brzo! Bježi onamo, jer ne mogu ništa činiti dok ti onamo ne stigneš.” Zato se onaj grad zove Soar.
Make haste and be saved there, because I cannot do any thing till thou go in thither. Therefore the name of that city was called Segor.
23 Kako je sunce na zemlju izlazilo i Lot ulazio u Soar,
The sun was risen upon the earth, and Lot entered into Segor.
24 Jahve zapljušti s neba na Sodomu i Gomoru sumpornim ognjem
And the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.
25 i uništi one gradove i svu onu ravnicu, sve žitelje gradske i sve raslinstvo na zemlji.
And he destroyed these cities, and all the country about, all the inhabitants of the cities, and all things that spring from the earth.
26 A Lotova se žena obazre i pretvori se u stup soli.
And his wife looking behind her, was turned into a statue of salt.
27 Sutradan u rano jutro Abraham se požuri na mjesto gdje je stajao pred Jahvom,
And Abraham got up early in the morning and in the place where he had stood before with the Lord,
28 upravi pogled prema Sodomi i Gomori i svoj ravnici u daljini: i vidje kako se diže dim nad zemljom kao dim kakve klačine.
He looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha, and the whole land of that country: and he saw the ashes rise up from the earth as the smoke of a furnace.
29 Tako se Bog, dok je zatirao gradove u ravnici u kojima je Lot boravio, sjetio Abrahama i uklonio Lota ispred propasti.
Now when God destroyed the cities of that country, remembering Abraham, he delivered Lot out of the destruction of the cities wherein he had dwelt.
30 Lot se bojao boraviti u Soaru, pa sa svoje dvije kćeri ode gore iz Soara i nastani se u brdu. On i njegove dvije kćeri živjeli su u pećini.
And Lot went up out of Segor, and abode in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, (for he was afraid to stay in Segor, ) and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters with him.
31 Starija reče mlađoj: “Otac nam ostarje, a muža na zemlji nema da bude s nama, kako je običaj po svem svijetu.
And the elder said to the younger Our father is old, and there is no man left on the earth, to come in unto us after the manner of the whole earth.
32 Hajdemo oca opiti vinom, pa s njime leći: tako ćemo s ocem sačuvati potomstvo.”
Come, let us make him drunk with wine, and let us lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
33 One noći opiju oca vinom, i starija ode te legne sa svojim ocem, a on nije znao kad je legla ni kad je ustala.
And they made their father drink wine that night: and the elder went in and lay with her father: but he perceived not neither when his daughter lay down, nor when she rose up.
34 Sutradan starija reče mlađoj: “Sinoć sam, eto, ležala ja s našim ocem; napojimo ga vinom i noćas, pa idi ti i s njim lezi: tako ćemo ocu sačuvati potomstvo.”
And the next day the elder said to the younger: Behold I lay last night with my father, let us make him drink wine also to night, and thou shalt lie with him, that we may save seed of our father.
35 Opiju oca vinom i one noći te mlađa ode i s njim legne, a on nije znao kad je legla ni kad je ustala.
They made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in, and lay with him: and neither then did he perceive when she lay down, nor when she rose up.
36 Tako obje Lotove kćeri zanesu s ocem.
So the two daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
37 Starija rodi sina i nadjenu mu ime Moab. On je praotac današnjih Moabaca.
And the elder bore a son, and she called his name Moab: he is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
38 I mlađa rodi sina i nadjene mu ime Ben-Ami. On je praotac današnjih Amonaca.
The younger also bore a son, and she called his name Ammon, that is, the son of my people: he is the father of the Ammonites unto this day.
