Genesis 19

And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

فَجَاءَ الْمَلاَكَانِ إِلَى سَدُومَ مَسَاءً، وَكَانَ لُوطٌ جَالِسًا فِي بَابِ سَدُومَ. فَلَمَّا رَآهُمَا لُوطٌ قَامَ لاسْتِقْبَالِهِمَا، وَسَجَدَ بِوَجْهِهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ.

And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.

وَقَالَ: «يَا سَيِّدَيَّ، مِيلاَ إِلَى بَيْتِ عَبْدِكُمَا وَبِيتَا وَاغْسِلاَ أَرْجُلَكُمَا، ثُمَّ تُبَكِّرَانِ وَتَذْهَبَانِ فِي طَرِيقِكُمَا». فَقَالاَ: «لاَ، بَلْ فِي السَّاحَةِ نَبِيتُ».

And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

فَأَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِمَا جِدًّا، فَمَالاَ إِلَيْهِ وَدَخَلاَ بَيْتَهُ، فَصَنَعَ لَهُمَا ضِيَافَةً وَخَبَزَ فَطِيرًا فَأَكَلاَ.

But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

وَقَبْلَمَا اضْطَجَعَا أَحَاطَ بِالْبَيْتِ رِجَالُ الْمَدِينَةِ، رِجَالُ سَدُومَ، مِنَ الْحَدَثِ إِلَى الشَّيْخِ، كُلُّ الشَّعْبِ مِنْ أَقْصَاهَا.

And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

فَنَادَوْا لُوطًا وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَيْنَ الرَّجُلاَنِ اللَّذَانِ دَخَلاَ إِلَيْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ؟ أَخْرِجْهُمَا إِلَيْنَا لِنَعْرِفَهُمَا».

And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,

فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ لُوطٌ إِلَى الْبَابِ وَأَغْلَقَ الْبَابَ وَرَاءَهُ

And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.

وَقَالَ: «لاَ تَفْعَلُوا شَرًّا يَا إِخْوَتِي.

Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

هُوَذَا لِي ابْنَتَانِ لَمْ تَعْرِفَا رَجُلاً. أُخْرِجُهُمَا إِلَيْكُمْ فَافْعَلُوا بِهِمَا كَمَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عُيُونِكُمْ. وَأَمَّا هذَانِ الرَّجُلاَنِ فَلاَ تَفْعَلُوا بِهِمَا شَيْئًا، لأَنَّهُمَا قَدْ دَخَلاَ تَحْتَ ظِلِّ سَقْفِي».

And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

فَقَالُوا: «ابْعُدْ إِلَى هُنَاكَ». ثُمَّ قَالُوا: «جَاءَ هذَا الإِنْسَانُ لِيَتَغَرَّبَ، وَهُوَ يَحْكُمُ حُكْمًا. الآنَ نَفْعَلُ بِكَ شَرًّا أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمَا». فَأَلَحُّوا عَلَى الْرَّجُلِ لُوطٍ جِدًّا وَتَقَدَّمُوا لِيُكَسِّرُوا الْبَابَ،

But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.

فَمَدَّ الرَّجُلاَنِ أَيْدِيَهُمَا وَأَدْخَلاَ لُوطًا إِلَيْهِمَا إِلَى الْبَيْتِ وَأَغْلَقَا الْبَابَ.

And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

وَأَمَّا الرِّجَالُ الَّذِينَ عَلَى بَابِ الْبَيْتِ فَضَرَبَاهُمْ بِالْعَمَى، مِنَ الصَّغِيرِ إِلَى الْكَبِيرِ، فَعَجِزُوا عَنْ أَنْ يَجِدُوا الْبَابَ.

And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:

وَقَالَ الرَّجُلاَنِ لِلُوطٍ: «مَنْ لَكَ أَيْضًا ههُنَا؟ أَصْهَارَكَ وَبَنِيكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَكُلَّ مَنْ لَكَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، أَخْرِجْ مِنَ الْمَكَانِ،

For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.

لأَنَّنَا مُهْلِكَانِ هذَا الْمَكَانَ، إِذْ قَدْ عَظُمَ صُرَاخُهُمْ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، فَأَرْسَلَنَا الرَّبُّ لِنُهْلِكَهُ».

And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.

فَخَرَجَ لُوطٌ وَكَلَّمَ أَصْهَارَهُ الآخِذِينَ بَنَاتِهِ وَقَالَ: «قُومُوا اخْرُجُوا مِنْ هذَا الْمَكَانِ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ مُهْلِكٌ الْمَدِينَةَ». فَكَانَ كَمَازِحٍ فِي أَعْيُنِ أَصْهَارِهِ.

And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

وَلَمَّا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ كَانَ الْمَلاَكَانِ يُعَجِّلاَنِ لُوطًا قَائِلَيْنِ: «قُمْ خُذِ امْرَأَتَكَ وَابْنَتَيْكَ الْمَوْجُودَتَيْنِ لِئَلاَّ تَهْلَِكَ بِإِثْمِ الْمَدِينَةِ».

And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.

وَلَمَّا تَوَانَى، أَمْسَكَ الرَّجُلاَنِ بِيَدِهِ وَبِيَدِ امْرَأَتِهِ وَبِيَدِ ابْنَتَيْهِ، لِشَفَقَةِ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَخْرَجَاهُ وَوَضَعَاهُ خَارِجَ الْمَدِينَةِ.

And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

وَكَانَ لَمَّا أَخْرَجَاهُمْ إِلَى خَارِجٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «اهْرُبْ لِحَيَاتِكَ. لاَ تَنْظُرْ إِلَى وَرَائِكَ، وَلاَ تَقِفْ فِي كُلِّ الدَّائِرَةِ. اهْرُبْ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ لِئَلاَّ تَهْلَِكَ».

And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:

فَقَالَ لَهُمَا لُوطٌ: «لاَ يَا سَيِّدُ.

Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:

هُوَذَا عَبْدُكَ قَدْ وَجَدَ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ، وَعَظَّمْتَ لُطْفَكَ الَّذِي صَنَعْتَ إِلَيَّ بِاسْتِبْقَاءِ نَفْسِي، وَأَنَا لاَ أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَهْرُبَ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ لَعَلَّ الشَّرَّ يُدْرِكُنِي فَأَمُوتَ.

Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.

هُوَذَا الْمَدِينَةُ هذِهِ قَرِيبَةٌ لِلْهَرَبِ إِلَيْهَا وَهِيَ صَغِيرَةٌ. أَهْرُبُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ. أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ صَغِيرَةً؟ فَتَحْيَا نَفْسِي».

And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.

فَقَالَ لَهُ: «إِنِّي قَدْ رَفَعْتُ وَجْهَكَ فِي هذَا الأَمْرِ أَيْضًا، أَنْ لاَ أَقْلِبَ الْمَدِينَةَ الَّتِي تَكَلَّمْتَ عَنْهَا.

Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

أَسْرِعِ اهْرُبْ إِلَى هُنَاكَ لأَنِّي لاَ أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَجِيءَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ». لِذلِكَ دُعِيَ اسْمُ الْمَدِينَةِ «صُوغَرَ».

The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.

وَإِذْ أَشْرَقَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ دَخَلَ لُوطٌ إِلَى صُوغَرَ،

Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

فَأَمْطَرَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ كِبْرِيتًا وَنَارًا مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ.

And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

وَقَلَبَ تِلْكَ الْمُدُنَ، وَكُلَّ الدَّائِرَةِ، وَجَمِيعَ سُكَّانِ الْمُدُنِ، وَنَبَاتَِ الأَرْضِ.

But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

وَنَظَرَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ فَصَارَتْ عَمُودَ مِلْحٍ.

And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:

وَبَكَّرَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فِي الْغَدِ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي وَقَفَ فِيهِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ،

And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

وَتَطَلَّعَ نَحْوَ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ، وَنَحْوَ كُلِّ أَرْضِ الدَّائِرَةِ، وَنَظَرَ وَإِذَا دُخَانُ الأَرْضِ يَصْعَدُ كَدُخَانِ الأَتُونِ.

And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.

وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا أَخْرَبَ اللهُ مُدُنَ الدَّائِرَةِ أَنَّ اللهَ ذَكَرَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَأَرْسَلَ لُوطًا مِنْ وَسَطِ الانْقِلاَبِ. حِينَ قَلَبَ الْمُدُنَ الَّتِي سَكَنَ فِيهَا لُوطٌ.

And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.

وَصَعِدَ لُوطٌ مِنْ صُوغَرَ وَسَكَنَ فِي الْجَبَلِ، وَابْنَتَاهُ مَعَهُ، لأَنَّهُ خَافَ أَنْ يَسْكُنَ فِي صُوغَرَ. فَسَكَنَ فِي الْمَغَارَةِ هُوَ وَابْنَتَاهُ.

And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:

وَقَالَتِ الْبِكْرُ لِلصَّغِيرَةِ: «أَبُونَا قَدْ شَاخَ، وَلَيْسَ فِي الأَرْضِ رَجُلٌ لِيَدْخُلَ عَلَيْنَا كَعَادَةِ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ.

Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

هَلُمَّ نَسْقِي أَبَانَا خَمْرًا وَنَضْطَجعُ مَعَهُ، فَنُحْيِي مِنْ أَبِينَا نَسْلاً».

And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

فَسَقَتَا أَبَاهُمَا خَمْرًا فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ، وَدَخَلَتِ الْبِكْرُ وَاضْطَجَعَتْ مَعَ أَبِيهَا، وَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِاضْطِجَاعِهَا وَلاَ بِقِيَامِهَا.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

وَحَدَثَ فِي الْغَدِ أَنَّ الْبِكْرَ قَالَتْ لِلصَّغِيرَةِ: «إِنِّي قَدِ اضْطَجَعْتُ الْبَارِحَةَ مَعَ أَبِي. نَسْقِيهِ خَمْرًا اللَّيْلَةَ أَيْضًا فَادْخُلِي اضْطَجِعِي مَعَهُ، فَنُحْيِيَ مِنْ أَبِينَا نَسْلاً».

And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

فَسَقَتَا أَبَاهُمَا خَمْرًا فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ أَيْضًا، وَقَامَتِ الصَّغِيرَةُ وَاضْطَجَعَتْ مَعَهُ، وَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِاضْطِجَاعِهَا وَلاَ بِقِيَامِهَا،

Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.

فَحَبِلَتِ ابْنَتَا لُوطٍ مِنْ أَبِيهِمَا.

And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.

فَوَلَدَتِ الْبِكْرُ ابْنًا وَدَعَتِ اسْمَهُ «مُوآبَ»، وَهُوَ أَبُو الْمُوآبِيِّينَ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ.

And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Ben–ammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.

وَالصَّغِيرَةُ أَيْضًا وَلَدَتِ ابْنًا وَدَعَتِ اسْمَهُ «بِنْ عَمِّي»، وَهُوَ أَبُو بَنِي عَمُّونَ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ.
