< Genesis 19 >

1 And the two Angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting at the gate of the city. And when he had seen them, he rose up and went to meet them. And he reverenced prone on the ground.
Dia nankany Sodoma ilay anjely roa nony hariva, raha Lota nipetraka teo am-bavahadin’ i Sodoma; ary raha nahita azy Lota, dia nitsangana mba hitsena azy izy ka niankohoka tamin’ ny tany.
2 And he said: “I beg you, my lords, turn aside to the house of your servant, and lodge there. Wash your feet, and in the morning you will advance on your way.” And they said, “Not at all. But we will lodge in the street.”
Dia hoy izy: Mba mivilia ianareo, tompoko, ho ato an-tranon’ ny mpanomponareo, ka mandria anio alina, ary sasao ny tongotrareo, ary hifoha maraina koa ianareo, dia handeha amin’ izay lalan-kalehanareo. Fa hoy izy roa lahy: Tsia; fa hitoetra eto an-kianja ihany izahay anio alina.
3 He pressed them very much to turn aside to him. And when they had entered his house, he made a feast for them, and he cooked unleavened bread, and they ate.
Ary rehefa noteren’ i Lota fatratra izy roa lahy, dia nivily tany aminy izy ka niditra tao an-tranony; dia nanaovany nahandro izy sy nanendasany mofo tsy misy masirasira, dia nihinana izy.
4 But before they went to bed, the men of the city surrounded the house, from boys to old men, all the people together.
Ary raha tsy mbola nandry izy, dia avy manodidina ny trano ny mponina tao an-tanàna Sodoma, hatramin’ ny tanora ka hatramin’ ny antitra, dia ny vahoaka rehetra tao an-tanàna;
5 And they called out to Lot, and they said to him: “Where are the men who entered to you in the night? Bring them out here, so that we may know them.”
dia niantso an’ i Lota izy ireo ka nanao taminy hoe: Aiza ireo lehilahy vao tonga tato aminao izao alina izao? avoahy ho atỳ aminay izy hahalalanay azy.
6 Lot went out to them, and blocking the door behind him, he said:
Dia nivoaka teo am-baravarana Lota hankeo aminy, ka nakatony ny varavarana teo ivohony;
7 “Do not, I ask you, my brothers, do not be willing to commit this evil.
ary hoy izy: Masìna ianareo, ry rahalahiko, aza manao ratsy.
8 I have two daughters who as yet have not known man. I will bring them out to you; abuse them as it pleases you, provided that you do no evil to these men, because they have entered under the shadow of my roof.”
Indro, manan-janaka roa vavy aho, izay tsy mbola nahalala lahy; masìna ianareo, aoka re ireo no havoakako ho eto aminareo, ka hataonareo aminy izay sitraponareo; fa ireo lehilahy ireo kosa dia aza anaovanareo na inona na inona; fa tonga hialoka eto ambanin’ ny tafon-tranoko izy.
9 But they said, “Move away from there.” And again: “You have entered,” they said, “as a stranger; should you then judge? Therefore, we will afflict you yourself more than them.” And they acted very violently against Lot. And they were now at the point of breaking open the doors.
Ary hoy izy ireo: Mialà eto ianao. Dia hoy izy ireo indray: Ilehity tonga etỳ hivahiny, kanefa matetika mila hiseho ho mpitsara; ankehitriny dia hanao ratsiratsy kokoa aminao noho ny amin’ ireo lehilahy ireo izahay. Dia nanosika mafy an-dralehilahy izy ireo, dia an’ i Lota, ka nisesika hamaky ny varavarana.
10 And behold, the men put out their hand, and they pulled Lot in to them, and they closed the door.
Fa naninjitra ny tànany izy roa lahy, dia nanintona an’ i Lota hankao an-trano ho ao aminy, ka nakatony ny varavarana.
11 And they struck those who were outside with blindness, from the least to the greatest, so that they were not able to find the door.
Dia nampanjambena ny mason’ ny lehilahy izay teo am-baravaran’ ny trano izy hatramin’ ny kely ka hatramin’ ny lehibe; ka dia sasa-poana nitady ny varavarana ireo.
12 Then they said to Lot: “Do you have here anyone of yours? All who are yours, sons-in-law, or sons, or daughters, bring them out of this city.
Ary hoy izy roa lahy tamin’ i Lota: Mbola manana ato koa va ianao? dia izay vinantonao-lahy sy ny zanakao-lahy sy ny zanakao-vavy, ary na zovy na zovy anananao ato an-tanàna, ento miala amin’ ity tanàna ity;
13 For we will eliminate this place, because the outcry among them has increased before the Lord, who sent us to destroy them.”
fa horavanay ity tanàna ity, satria efa lehibe ny fitarainany eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; ka dia naniraka anay Jehovah handrava azy.
14 And so Lot, going out, spoke to his sons-in-law, who were going to receive his daughters, and he said: “Rise up. Depart from this place. For the Lord will destroy this city.” And it seemed to them that he was speaking playfully.
Dia nivoaka Lota ary niteny tamin’ ny vinantony, izay efa hanambady ny zananivavy, ka nanao hoe: Miaingà, miala amin’ ity tanàna ity; fa horavan’ i Jehovah ity tanàna ity. Fa nataon’ ny vinantony ho tahaka ny mpanao vazivazy izy.
15 And when it was morning, the Angels compelled him, saying, “Arise, take your wife, and the two daughters that you have, lest you also should perish amid the wickedness of the city.”
Ary nony maraina koa ny andro, dia nandodona an’ i Lota ireo anjely ka nanao hoe: Miaingà, ento ny vadinao sy ny zanakao roa vavy izay eto, fandrao mba haringana ianao noho ny heloky ny tanàna.
16 And, since he ignored them, they took his hand, and the hand of his wife, as well as that of his two daughters, because the Lord was sparing him.
Ary nony nitaredretra izy, dia notantanan’ izy roa lahy izy sy ny vadiny ary ny zanany roa vavy noho ny famindram-pon’ i Jehovah taminy; dia nitondra azy nivoaka izy roa lahy ka nandao azy tany ivelan’ ny tanàna.
17 And they brought him out, and placed him beyond the city. And there they spoke to him, saying: “Save your life. Do not look back. Neither should you stay in the entire surrounding region. But save yourself in the mountain, lest you also should perish.”
Ary rehefa nitondra azy nivoaka tany ivelany izy, dia hoy ny anankiray: Mandosira hamonjy ny ainao; aza miherika ianao, na mijanona eny amin’ ny tany lemaka rehetra; mandosira any an-tendrombohitra, fandrao haringana ianao.
18 And Lot said to them: “I beg you, my lord,
Ary hoy Lota taminy: Aza an’ izany, Tompo ô!
19 though your servant has found grace before you, and you have magnified your mercy, which you have shown to me in saving my life, I cannot be saved on the mountain, lest perhaps some misfortune take hold of me and I die.
indro, fa efa nahita fitia teo imasonao ny mpanomponao, ary efa nahalehibe ny famindram-ponao ianao, izay nataonao tamiko hamonjenao ny aiko; ary tsy afa-mandositra any an-tendrombohitra aho, fandrao hahatratra ahy ny loza, ka ho faty aho;
20 There is a certain city nearby, to which I can flee; it is a little one, and I will be saved in it. Is it not a modest one, and will not my soul live?”
indro, io vohitra io dia akaiky handosirana sady kely; masìna ianao, aoka handositra ao aho (tsy kely va izy io?), dia ho velona ny aiko.
21 And he said to him: “Behold, even now, I have heard your petitions about this, not to overturn the city on behalf of which you have spoken.
Ary hoy izy taminy: Indro, efa nekeko koa ianao tamin’ izany zavatra izany, ka tsy horavako io vohitra nolazainao io.
22 Hurry and be saved there. For I cannot do anything until you enter there.” For this reason, the name of that city is called Zoar.
Mandehana faingana, mandosira ho ao; fa tsy mahazo manao na inona na inona aho mandra-pahatonganao ao. Izany no nanaovana ny anaran’ ny tanàna hoe Zoara.
23 The sun had risen over the land, and Lot had entered into Zoar.
Ary ny masoandro efa niposaka tamin’ ny tany, raha tonga tao Zoara Lota.
24 Therefore, the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah sulphur and fire, from the Lord, out of heaven.
Ary Jehovah nandatsaka tamin’ i Sodoma sy Gomora solifara sy afo, avy tamin’ i Jehovah tany an-danitra,
25 And he overturned these cities, and all the surrounding region: all the inhabitants of the cities, and everything that springs from the land.
ka nandrava ireny tanàna ireny sy ny tany lemaka rehetra sy ny mponina rehetra tao an-tanàna ary ny zava-maniry teo amin’ ny tany.
26 And his wife, looking behind herself, was turned into a statue of salt.
Fa ny vadin’ i Lota niherika teo ivohony, dia tonga vongan-tsira mitsangana izy.
27 Then Abraham, rising up in the morning, in the place where he had stood before with the Lord,
Dia nifoha maraina koa Abrahama ka nankany amin’ ilay efa nijanonany teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah;
28 looked out toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and the entire land of that region. And he saw embers rising up from the land like smoke from a furnace.
ary nitsinjo an’ i Sodoma sy Gomora sy ny tany lemaka rehetra izy, dia nahita, ka, indro, niakatra ny setroky ny tany tahaka ny setroky ny lafaoro lehibe.
29 For when God overthrew the cities of that region, remembering Abraham, he freed Lot from the overthrow of the cities, in which he had dwelt.
Ary raha noravan’ Andriamanitra ny tanàna tany amin’ ny tany lemaka, dia nahatsiaro an’ i Abrahama Andriamanitra ka namoaka an’ i Lota hiala teo afovoan’ ny horavana, tamin’ ny nandravany ny tanàna izay nonenan’ i Lota.
30 And Lot ascended from Zoar, and he stayed on the mountain, and likewise his two daughters with him, (for he was afraid to stay in Zoar) and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters with him.
Dia niakatra Lota avy tao Zoara ka nitoetra tany an-tendrombohitra, dia izy sy ny zanany roa vavy; fa natahotra hitoetra tao Zoara izy; dia nitoetra tao an-johy izy sy ny zanany roa vavy.
31 And the elder said to the younger: “Our father is old, and no man remains in the land who can enter to us according to the custom of the whole world.
Ary hoy ny vavimatoa tamin’ ny zandriny: Efa antitra izao raintsika, ary tsy misy lehilahy ambonin’ ny tany hanambady antsika araka ny fanaon’ ny tany rehetra;
32 Come, let us inebriate him with wine, and let us sleep with him, so that we may be able to preserve offspring from our father.”
andeha hampisotrointsika divay ny raintsika dia handry aminy isika hananantsika fara avy amin’ ny raintsika.
33 And so they gave their father wine to drink that night. And the elder went in, and she slept with her father. But he did not perceive it, neither when his daughter lay down, nor when she rose up.
Dia nampisotroiny divay ny rainy tamin’ iny alina iny dia niditra ny vavimatoa ka nandry tamin-drainy; ary izy tsy nahafantatra izay nandriany na izay nifohazany.
34 Likewise, the next day, the elder said to the younger: “Behold, yesterday I slept with my father, let us give him wine to drink yet again this night, and you will sleep with him, so that we may save offspring from our father.”
Ary nony ampitson’ iny dia hoy ny vavimatoa tamin’ ny zandriny: Indro, efa nandry tamin’ ny raintsika aho halina; aoka hampisotrointsika divay indray izy anio alina, dia midìra ianao ka mandria aminy hananantsika fara avy amin’ ny raintsika.
35 And then they gave their father wine to drink that night also, and the younger daughter went in, and slept with him. And not even then did he perceive when she lay down, or when she rose up.
Dia nampisotroiny divay indray ny rainy tamin’ iny alina iny; dia nitsangana ilay zandriny ka nandry taminy; ary izy tsy nahafantatra izay nandriany, na izay nifohazany.
36 Therefore, the two daughters of Lot conceived by their father.
Dia samy nanan’ anaka tamin-drainao ny zanak’ i Lota roa vavy.
37 And the elder gave birth to a son, and she called his name Moab. He is the father of the Moabites, even to the present day.
Dia niteraka zazalahy ny vavimatoa, ka ny anarany nataony hoe Moaba; izy no rain’ ny Moabita mandraka androany.
38 Likewise, the younger gave birth to a son, and she called his name Ammon, that is, ‘the son of my people.’ He is the father of the Ammonites, even today.
Ary ny zandriny koa dia niteraka zazalahy ary ny anarany nataony hoe Benamy; izy kosa no rain’ ny taranak’ i Amona mandraka androany.
