Genesis 19
1 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,
Hlaem pakhat vaengah puencawn rhoi loh Sodom a pha rhoi. Te vaengah Lot te Sodom vongka ah ngol. Lot loh a hmuh vaengah amih rhoi doe ham thoo tih a mikhmai neh lai la bakop thuk.
2 and he said, “See now, my lords, please come into your servant’s house, stay all night, wash your feet, and you can rise up early, and go on your way.” They said, “No, but we will stay in the street all night.”
Te phoeiah, “Ka boei aw, na sal im la ha phael mai dae ne. Rhaeh lamtah na kho sil rhoi dae. Na thoo vetih na longpuei ah na cet dam bitni,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Pawh, toltung ah ka rhaeh rhoi bitni,” a ti rhoi.
3 He urged them greatly, and they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
Tedae amih rhoi te tlal a hloep dongah anih taengla hoii uh tih a im ah kun uh. Amih rhoi ham buhkoknah a saii vaengah vaidamding te a kaeng pah tih a caak uh.
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.
Tedae a yalh uh hlan ah khopuei hlang Sodom rhoek ca neh camoe patong la pilnam boeih loh a dik a noi duela im a vael uh.
5 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.”
Te phoeiah Lot te a khue uh tih, “Khoyin ah nang taengla aka lo hlang rhoi te ta? Amih rhoi te ka ming uh van ham kaimih taengla han khuen,” a ti nauh.
6 Lot went out to them through the door, and shut the door after himself.
Tedae Lot te thohka la cet tih a hnukkah thohkhaih te a khaih.
7 He said, “Please, my brothers, don’t act so wickedly.
Te phoeiah, “Ka manuca rhoek thaehuet uh boel mai.
8 See now, 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 don’t do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof.”
Ka taengah canu panit om pueng he, te rhoi loh tongpa a ming rhoi moenih. Amih rhoi te nangmih taengla kang khuen pawn eh. Te vaengah amih rhoi te na mik loh then a ti bangla saii uh. Tedae hekah hlang rhoi taengah tah hno saii uh boeh. Ka tungpum hlipkhup la ha kun dongah he,” a ti nah.
9 They said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now we will deal worse with you than with them!” They pressed hard on the man Lot, and came near to break the door.
Tedae, “Thoeih lah,” a ti uh. Te phoeiah, “Bakuep hamla hlang pakhat te halo tih lai a tloek tarha aya? Amih rhoi lakah namah te kan talh uh ve ne,” a ti uh. Te vaengah hlang te khaw, Lot te khaw khak a aep uh tih thohkhaih te boh ham thoeih uh.
10 But the men reached out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
Te vaengah im khuikah hlang rhoi loh kut a yueng uh tih Lot te amih taeng lamkah im khuila a doek rhoi phoeiah thohkhaih te tlup a khaih rhoi.
11 They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
Te vaengah im thohka kah hlang rhoek te tanoe kangham due mikdael neh a ngawn tih thohka hmuh ham khaw khobing uh.
12 The men said to Lot, “Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place:
Te phoeiah hlang rhoi loh Lot taengah, “Nang taengah ulae aka om pueng? Na cava neh na capa rhoek khaw, na canu rhoek neh khopuei khuikah namah hut boeih te he hmuen lamkah khuen laeh.
13 for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown so great before the LORD that the LORD has sent us to destroy it.”
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah amih kah pangngawlnah loh rhoeng coeng tih hekah hmuen he phae ham BOEIPA loh kaimih n'tueih dongah khopuei he ka phae rhoi pawn ni,” a ti rhoi.
14 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 the LORD will destroy the city!” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.
Te dongah Lot te cet tih a canu rhoek kah a loh a cava rhoek taengah a thui pah vaengah, “Khopuei he BOEIPA loh a phae dongah hekah hmuen lamkah thoo uh lamtah cet uh laeh,” a ti nah. Tedae a cava rhoek kah mikhmuh ah nueihbu bangla a om pah.
15 When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, “Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city.”
Tedae mincang a pha vaengah puencawn rhoi loh Lot te a tanolh rhoi tih, “Thoo lamtah na yuu khaw, na canu aka om rhoi he khuen laeh. Khopuei kathaesainah dongah na khoengvoep ve,” a ti nah.
16 But he lingered; and the men grabbed his hand, his wife’s hand, and his two daughters’ hands, the LORD being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.
Te vaengah uelh tih hlang rhoek te amah kut, a yuu kut neh a canu rhoi kah kut khaw a hlaengtang uh. BOEIPA kah thinphatnah he anih soah a om dongah anih te a khuen tih khopuei vongvoel ah duem uh.
17 It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, “Escape for your life! Don’t look behind you, and don’t stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be consumed!”
Amih te poeng la a khuen neh amih taengah, “Na hinglu te yong puei laeh. Na hnuk paelki boeh. Vannaem takuem ah pai boeh, tlang la yong laeh, na khoengvoep ve,” a ti nah.
18 Lot said to them, “Oh, not so, my lord.
Tedae Lot loh amih rhoi taengah, “Pawh ka Boeipa bet ca mah.
19 See now, your servant has found favour 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 evil overtake me, and I die.
Na sal he na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang tih na sitlohnah te na rhoengsak dongah ka hinglu hing sak ham kai taengah nan saii coeng. Tedae kai he tlang daengla yong ham tah ka coeng oeh pawh. Yoethae loh kai m'puei vetih ka duek ve.
20 See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (isn’t it a little one?), and my soul will live.”
Tahae ah ke kah khopuei la rhaelrham ham yoei ta ke. Te dongah anih ke yiit cakhaw pahoi ka yong mai eh. Anih te ka hinglu aka hing sak ham yiit pawt maco?,” a ti nah.
21 He said to him, “Behold, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.
Te dongah anih te, “Hekah olka ham khaw na mikhmuhah kan paek vetih na thui khopuei te ka palet mahpawh.
22 Hurry, escape there, for I can’t do anything until you get there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
A loe la yong pahoi laeh, ke la na pawk hil pakhat khaw saii ham ka coeng thai moenih,” a ti nah. Te dongah khopuei ming khaw Zoar a sui.
23 The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
Lot loh Zoar a pha vaengah khomik loh khohmuen ah thoeng coeng.
24 Then the LORD rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulphur and fire from the LORD out of the sky.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh BOEIPA taengkah kat hmai te Sodom neh Gomorrah ah vaan lamkah a tlan sak.
25 He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.
Te dongah tekah khopuei rhoek neh vannaem boeih khaw, khopuei kah khosa kho boeih neh diklai toian khaw a palet.
26 But Lot’s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Tedae Lot yuu loh a hnuk a paelki dongah lungkaeh tung la poeh.
27 Abraham went up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD.
Abraham tah mincang ah BOEIPA mikhmuh kah a pai nah hmuen la pahoi hlah uh.
28 He looked towards Sodom and Gomorrah, and towards all the land of the plain, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.
Sodom neh Gomorrah ben kah, vannaem khohmuen phai boeih te a dan thuk vaengah hmailing hmaikhu bangla diklai hmaikhu a thoeng te lawt a hmuh.
29 When God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.
Tedae Pathen loh vannaem kah khopuei a phae vaengah Pathen loh Abraham te a poek. Te dongah Lot te a paletnah khui lamloh a khuen. Te phoeiah Lot loh kho a sak nah khopuei te a palet.
30 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.
Te dongah Lot te Zoar lamkah nong tih tlang ah kho a sak. Te vaengah a canu panit te khaw amah taengah om. Zoar ah khosak ham a rhih dongah a canu rhoi khaw lungko khuiah om uh.
31 The firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us in the way of all the earth.
Te vaengah a caming loh canoi la, “A pa he patong coeng tih diklai pum kah khosing la mamih rhoi taengah aka kun ham hlang khaw diklai ah om voelpawh.
32 Come, let’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”
Halo, a pa ke misurtui tul sih lamtah a taengah yalh sih. Te phoeiah a pa neh tiingan hing sak sih,” a ti nah.
33 They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Te dongah a napa te amah tekah khoyin ah misurtui a tul rhoi. Te vaengah a caming kun tih a napa taengah yalh dae me vaengah yalh tih me vaengah a thoh khaw ming pawh.
34 It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let’s make him drink wine again tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”
Tekah a vuen ah khaw caming loh canoi taengah, “Hlaemyin ah a pa taengla ka yalh coeng. Tihnin hlaem ah misurtui tul bal sih. Paan lamtah a taengah yalh van. A pa neh tiingan khaw hing sak sih,” a ti nah.
35 They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she got up.
Amah tekah hlaem ah khaw a napa te misurtui koep a tul rhoi tih canoi loh a kun thil. A taengah yalh dae me vaengah yalh tih me vaengah a thoh khaw ming pawh.
36 Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father.
Te dongah Lot canu rhoi te a napa loh a vawn sak.
37 The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.
Te phoeiah caming loh capa a cun tih a ming te Moab a sui dongah tihnin due Moab rhoek kah a napa la om.
38 The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. He is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.
Canoi long khaw capa a cun van tih a ming te Benammi a sui dongah tihnin due Ammon ca rhoek kah a napa la om.
