Kenehi 19
1 Na ka haere mai nga anahera tokorua ki Horoma i te ahiahi; a ko Rota i te kuwaha o Horoma e noho ana: a ka kite a Rota i a raua, ka whakatika ki te whakatau i a raua, a ka tuohu tona kanohi ki te whenua;
The two angels came to Sodom in the evening, while Lot was sitting at the gate of Sodom. Lot saw them, arose to meet them, and bowed down with his face to the ground.
2 Ka mea ia, Nana, e oku ariki, peka mai ki te whare o ta korua pononga, ne? ki konei moe ai, horoi ai hoki i o korua waewae, a ka moata ai te maranga, ka haere i ta korua haere. Ka mea raua, Kahore; engari ki te huarahi noa maua moe ai.
He said, “Please my masters, I urge you to turn aside into your servant's house, stay for the night, and wash your feet. Then you can rise up early and go on your way.” They replied, “No, we will spend the night in the town square.”
3 Na ka kaha tana tohe ki a raua, a peka atu ana raua ki a ia, haere ana ki tona whare; na ka taka ia i tetahi hakari ma raua, ka tunu hoki i etahi keke rewenakore, a ka kai raua.
But he urged them strongly, so they went with him, and entered into his house. He prepared a meal and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
4 Kiano raua i takoto noa, ka karapotia te whare e nga tangata o te pa, e nga tangata o Horoma, e te koroheke, e te taitamariki, e nga tangata katoa o nga wahi katoa:
But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the men from every part of the city.
5 A ka karanga ratou ki a Rota, ka mea ki a ia, Kei hea aua tangata i haere mai nei ki a koe i te po nei? whakaputaina mai ki a matou, kia mohio ai matou ki a raua.
They called to Lot, and said to him, “Where are the men that came in to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may sleep with them.”
6 Na ka puta atu a Rota ki a ratou ki te kuwaha, me tana tutaki ano i te tatau i muri i a ia.
So Lot went out the door to them and shut the door after himself.
7 Ka mea, Kaua ra e kino, e oku tuakana.
He said, “I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.
8 Nana, tokorua aku tamahine, kahore nei i mohio noa ki te tane, me whakaputa atu raua e ahau ki a koutou, a ma koutou e mea ki enei tangata; he mea hoki ka tae mai nei raua ki te taumarumarutanga iho o toku tuanui.
Look, I have two daughters who have not slept with any man. Let me, I beg you, bring them out to you, and you do to them whatever is good in your eyes. Only do nothing to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof.”
9 Ano ra ko ratou, Tu atu. A ka mea ano ratou, I haere mai tenei koroke kotahi ki konei noho ia, a e whai ana kia mana e whakarite tikanga: akuanei tou mate i a matou nui atu i to raua. Na ka aki rawa ratou ki te tangata ra, ki a Rota, a ka whakata ta ki te wahi i te tatau.
They said, “Stand back!” They also said, “This one came here to live as a foreigner, and now he has become our judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them.” They pressed hard against the man, against Lot, and came near to break down the door.
10 Otira ka totoro atu te ringa o aua tangata, a kumea ana a Rota ki a raua ki roto ki te whare, a tutakina ana e raua te tatau.
But the men reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them and shut the door.
11 Na ka whiua e raua nga tangata i te kuwaha o te whare, te iti, te rahi, ki te matapotanga: a ngenge noa ratou i te rapunga i te tatau.
Then Lot's visitors struck with blindness the men who were outside the door of the house, both young and old, so that they became exhausted when they were trying to find the door.
12 Na ka mea aua tangata ki a Rota, Kahore atu ranei ou tangata i konei? me he hunaonga, he tama ranei au, he tamahine ranei au, tetahi atu mea ranei au i roto i te pa, mauria atu i tenei wahi:
Then the men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here? Any sons-in-law, your sons and your daughters, and whoever you have in the city, get them out of here.
13 Ka whakangaromia hoki tenei wahi e maua, no te mea kua nui to ratou karanga ki te aroaro o Ihowa; kua tonoa mai hoki maua e Ihowa ki te whakangaro.
For we are about to destroy this place, because the accusations against it before Yahweh have become so loud that he has sent us to destroy it.”
14 Na ka haere a Rota, ka korero ki ana hunaonga: marenatia nei ki ana tamahine, ka mea, Whakatika, haere atu i konei; ka whakangaromia hoki e Ihowa tenei pa. Otiia ki te whakaaro o ana hunaonga i rite ia ki tetahi tangata e hangareka ana.
Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, the men who had promised to marry his daughters, and said, “Quick, get out of this place, for Yahweh is about to destroy the city.” But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking.
15 A, i te huakanga ake o te ata, ka akiaki nga anahera i a Rota, ka mea, Whakatika, haria tau wahine, me enei tamahine tokorua au, kei huna koe i roto i te kino o tenei pa.
When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Get going, take your wife and your two daughters that are here, so you are not swept away in the punishment of the city.”
16 Otira i whakaroa ia; na ka hopu aua tangata ki tona ringa, ki te ringa o tana wahine, ki nga ringa o ana tamahine tokorua; he tohu hoki na Ihowa i a ia: a kawea atu ana ia e raua ki waho, ka waiho i waho o te pa.
But he lingered. So the men grabbed his hand, and the hand of his wife, and the hands of his two daughters, because Yahweh was merciful to him. They brought them out, and set them outside the city.
17 A ka oti ratou te kawe atu e raua ki waho, ka mea ia, Rere atu kia ora ai koe; kaua e titiro ki muri i a koe, kaua hoki e tu ki tetahi wahi o te mania; rere atu ki te maunga, kei ngaro koe.
When they had brought them out, one of the men said, “Run for your lives! Do not look back, or stay anywhere on the plain. Escape to the mountains so you are not swept away.”
18 Na ka mea a Rota ki a raua, Kaua ra e pena, e toku Ariki.
Lot said to them, “No, please, my masters!
19 Nana, kua manakohia nei tau pononga e koe, kua whakanuia ano e koe tou aroha i whakaputaina nei e koe ki ahau, i a koe i whakaora nei i toku wairua; na e kore e taea e ahau te rere ki te maunga, kei mau ahau i tetahi kino, a ka mate.
Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life, but I cannot escape to the mountains, because the disaster will overtake me, and I will die.
20 Titiro hoki, e tata ana tenei pa hei rerenga atu, he mea nohinohi noa nei: Kia rere ahau ki reira ne? ehara ianei i te mea nohinohi? a ka ora toku wairua.
Look, that city over there is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Please, let me escape there (is it not a little one?), and my life will be saved.”
21 Ano ra ko ia ki a ia, Na, kua whakaae ano hoki ahau ki tenei meatanga au, kia kaua e huna e ahau tenei pa i korero mai na koe.
He said to him, “Alright, I am granting this request also, that I will not destroy the city which you have mentioned.
22 Kia hohoro, rere atu ki reira; e kore hoki e taea e ahau tetahi mea, kia tae ra ano koe ki reira. Na reira i huaina ai te ingoa o taua pa ko Toara.
Hurry! Escape there, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there.” Therefore the city was called Zoar.
23 Kua rewa te ra ki runga ki te whenua, ka tae a Rota ki Toara.
The sun had risen upon the earth when Lot reached Zoar.
24 Katahi ka uaina e Ihowa ki Horoma, ki Komora, he whanariki, he ahi na Ihowa, no te rangi;
Then Yahweh rained down upon Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from Yahweh out of the sky.
25 A hurihia iho e ia aua pa, me te mania katoa, me nga tangata katoa o nga pa, me nga mea e tupu ana i te whenua.
He destroyed those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and the plants that grew on the ground.
26 Na i titiro tana wahine ki muri i a ia, a meinga ana hei pou tote.
But Lot's wife, who was behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 A i maranga wawe a Aperahama i te ata ki te wahi i tu ai ia i te aroaro o Ihowa:
Abraham got up early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before Yahweh.
28 Na ko tona tirohanga atu ki te ritenga o Horoma, o Komora, ki te whenua katoa hoki o te mania, ka kite, na, e kake ana te paowa o te whenua, me te mea he paowa oumu.
He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the plain. He looked and behold, smoke was rising from the land like the smoke of a furnace.
29 Na, i te whakangaromanga a Ihowa i nga pa o te mania, ka mahara te Atua ki a Aperahama, a tonoa ana e ia a Rota i roto i te hurihanga i tana hurihanga i nga pa i noho ai a Rota.
So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, God called Abraham to mind. He sent Lot out of the midst of the destruction when he destroyed the cities in which Lot had lived.
30 Na ka piki atu a Rota i Toara, ka noho ki te maunga, ratou tahi ko ana tamahine tokorua; i wehi hoki ia ki te noho i Toara: a ka noho i roto i tetahi ana, a ia me ana tamahine tokorua.
But Lot went up from Zoar to live in the mountains with his two daughters, because he was afraid to live in Zoar. So he lived in a cave, he and his two daughters.
31 Na ka mea te tuakana ki to muri, Kua koroheke to taua papa, a kohore he tangata o te whenua hei haere mai ki a taua, hei pera me to te whenua katoa tikanga:
The firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man anywhere to sleep with us according to the way of all the world.
32 Tena, taua ka whakainu i to taua papa ki te waina, ka takoto ai taua ki a ia, kia tupu ai i a taua tetahi uri mo to taua papa.
Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will sleep with him, so that we may extend our father's line.”
33 Na ka whakainu raua i to raua papa ki te waina i taua po; a ka haere atu te tuakana, ka takoto ki tona papa, kihai hoki tera i mohio ki tona takotoranga iho, ki tona whakatikanga ake.
So they made their father drink wine that night. Then the firstborn went in and slept with her father; he did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34 A i te aonga ake ka mea te tuakana ki to muri, Nana, i takoto ahau inapo ki toku papa: taua ano ka whakainu i a ia ki te waina i tenei po; a mau e haere atu, e takoto ki a ia, kia tupu ai i a taua tetahi uri mo to taua papa.
The next day the firstborn said to the younger, “Listen, last night I slept with my father. Let us make him drink wine tonight also, and you should go in and sleep with him, so that we may extend our father's line.”
35 Na ka whakainu ano raua i to raua papa ki te waina i taua po; a ka whakatika to muri, ka takoto hoki ki a ia: a kihai ia i mohio ki tona takotoranga iho, ki tona whakatikanga ake.
So they made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger went and slept with him. He did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
36 Koia ka hapu nga tamahine tokorua a Rota i to raua papa.
So both the daughters of Lot were pregnant by their father.
37 A ka whanau ta te tuakana, he tama, a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Moapa: ko ia te papa o nga Moapi, a tae noa ki tenei ra.
The firstborn gave birth to a son, and named him Moab. He became the ancestor of the Moabites of today.
38 Me to muri, whanau ake ano tana, he tama, a huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko Penami: ko ia te papa o nga tama a Amona, a tae noa ki tenei ra.
As for the younger daughter, she also gave birth to a son, and named him Ben-Ammi. He became the ancestor of the people of Ammon of today.
