Ang Labis na Kasamaan sa Sodoma
19 Nang gabing dumating sa Sodoma ang dalawang anghel, nakaupo si Lot sa may pintuan ng lunsod. Pagkakita sa kanila'y tumayo si Lot at sinalubong sila. Nagpatirapa siya sa harapan ng mga anghel. 2 “Mga ginoo,” wika niya, “inaanyayahan ko po kayo sa amin. Doon na kayo maghugas ng paa at magpalipas ng gabi. Bukas na ng umaga kayo magpatuloy ng paglalakbay.”
Ngunit sumagot sila, “Huwag na, dito na lang kami sa lansangan magpapalipas ng gabi.”
3 Ngunit pinilit niya ang mga ito kaya sumama na rin sila sa kanya. Nagluto si Lot ng tinapay na walang pampaalsa, naghanda ng masarap na hapunan at kumain sila.
4 Nang matutulog na sila, pinaligiran ng mga lalaking taga-Sodoma ang kanyang bahay. Lahat ng kalalakihan sa lunsod, bata at matanda ay naroon. 5 Pasigaw(A) nilang tinanong si Lot, “Nasaan ang mga panauhin mong lalaki? Ilabas mo't makikipagtalik kami sa kanila!”
6 Lumabas si Lot at isinara ang pinto. 7 Sinabi niya sa mga tao, “Huwag, mga kaibigan, napakasama ng gagawin ninyong iyan. 8 Ako'y may dalawang anak na dalaga, sila na lang ang ibibigay ko sa inyo at gawin ninyo sa kanila ang gusto ninyo, huwag lamang ninyong galawin ang mga lalaking ito. Mga panauhin ko sila at dapat ko silang ingatan.”
9 Ngunit sumigaw sila, “Huwag kang makialam, dayuhan! Sino kang magtuturo sa amin ng aming gagawin? Tumabi ka kung ayaw mong masaktan nang higit kaysa kanila!” Itinulak nila si Lot at tinangkang wasakin ang pinto. 10 Ngunit hinaltak siya ng kanyang mga panauhin, at isinara ang pinto. 11 Pagkatapos,(B) binulag nila ang mga tao sa labas kaya't hindi makita ng mga ito ang pinto.
Iniwan ni Lot ang Sodoma
12 Sinabi ng dalawang panauhin kay Lot, “Magmadali ka! Isama mong lahat ang iyong mga anak at iba pang kamag-anak na nakatira sa lunsod na ito. Umalis na kayo rito, 13 sapagkat gugunawin na namin ang lunsod na ito! Pinakinggan ni Yahweh ang mabibigat na sumbong laban sa mga taga-Sodoma at pinapunta kami ni Yahweh upang wasakin ang lunsod na ito.”
14 Kaya't pinuntahan ni Lot ang mga mapapangasawa ng kanyang mga anak na babae at sinabi sa kanila, “Umalis na kayo agad sapagkat wawasakin ni Yahweh ang lunsod na ito.” Ngunit akala nila'y nagbibiro lamang si Lot.
15 Nang magbubukang-liwayway na, inapura ng mga anghel si Lot, “Magmadali ka! Umalis na kayo ng iyong asawa't mga anak nang hindi kayo madamay sa pagkawasak ng lunsod.” 16 Nag-aatubili(C) pa si Lot ngunit sa habag ni Yahweh, halos kaladkarin na sila ng mga lalaki palabas ng lunsod. 17 Pagkatapos, isa sa mga anghel ay nagsabi, “Iligtas ninyo ang inyong sarili! Huwag kayong lilingon o hihinto sa libis! Magtago kayo sa kaburulan para hindi kayo mamatay!”
18 Ngunit sumagot si Lot, “Huwag na po roon, Ginoo. 19 Napakalaki na ng utang na loob ko sa inyo; napakabuti ninyo at iniligtas ninyo ako. Ngunit napakalayo ng mga kaburulan. Baka hindi na ako makarating doon nang buháy. 20 Hindi ba maaaring doon na lamang sa maliit na bayang iyon?”
21 “Oo, sige, doon na kayo magpunta, at hindi ko wawasakin ang bayang iyon. 22 Ngunit magmadali kayo! Hindi ko maitutuloy ang gagawin ko hangga't wala kayo roon.”
Maliit ang bayang iyon kaya ito'y tinawag na Zoar.[a]
Ginunaw ang Sodoma at Gomorra
23 Mataas na ang araw nang makarating si Lot sa Zoar. 24 Saka(D) pa lamang pinaulanan ni Yahweh ng apoy at asupre ang Sodoma at Gomorra. 25 Tinupok ni Yahweh ang mga lunsod na iyon at ang buong libis, lahat ng mamamayan doon pati ang mga pananim. 26 Ngunit(E) lumingon ang asawa ni Lot kaya't ito'y naging isang haliging asin.
27 Kinabukasan, maagang nagtungo si Abraham sa dakong pinagtagpuan nila ni Yahweh. 28 Mula roon, tinanaw niya ang Sodoma at Gomorra, at ang buong libis. Nakita niyang tumataas ang makapal na usok na parang nagmumula sa malaking hurno. 29 Nang gunawin ng Diyos ang mga lunsod na iyon, hindi nawaglit sa kanyang isipan si Abraham kaya iniligtas niya si Lot.
Ang Pinagmulan ng mga Moabita at Ammonita
30 Sa takot ni Lot na manatili sa Zoar, sila ng dalawa niyang anak na babae ay umakyat sa kaburulan at nanirahan sa isang yungib doon. 31 Minsan, nag-usap ang magkapatid. Sinabi ng nakatatanda, “Wala nang natitirang lalaki sa daigdig. Matanda na ang ating ama at maaaring hindi na tayo magkaanak. 32 Mabuti pa'y lasingin natin siya at ating sipingan para magkaanak tayo.” 33 Nilasing nga nila ang kanilang ama nang gabing iyon. Sa kalasingan ni Lot, hindi niya namalayang nakipagtalik siya sa anak niyang panganay.
34 Kinabukasa'y sinabi ng panganay sa bunso, “Kagabi'y sumiping ako sa ating ama; lasingin natin siya uli mamaya, at ikaw naman ang sumiping nang pareho tayong magkaanak.” 35 Nilasing nga nila uli si Lot nang gabing iyon, at ang bunso naman ang sumiping. Tulad ng dati, hindi namalayan ni Lot ang kanyang pakikipagtalik dahil sa kalasingan. 36 Bunga nito, kapwa nagdalang-tao ang magkapatid. 37 Nagkaanak ng lalaki ang panganay at tinawag niyang Moab.[b] Siya ang ninuno ng mga Moabita ngayon. 38 Lalaki rin ang naging anak ng bunso at tinawag naman niya itong Ben-ammi.[c] Siya naman ang ninuno ng mga Ammonita ngayon.

The Message
19 1-2 The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening. Lot was sitting at the city gate. He saw them and got up to welcome them, bowing before them and said, “Please, my friends, come to my house and stay the night. Wash up. You can rise early and be on your way refreshed.”
They said, “No, we’ll sleep in the street.”
3 But he insisted, wouldn’t take no for an answer; and they relented and went home with him. Lot fixed a hot meal for them and they ate.
4-5 Before they went to bed, men from all over the city of Sodom, young and old, descended on the house from all sides and boxed them in. They yelled to Lot, “Where are the men who are staying with you for the night? Bring them out so we can have our sport with them!”
6-8 Lot went out, barring the door behind him, and said, “Brothers, please, don’t be vile! Look, I have two daughters, virgins; let me bring them out; you can take your pleasure with them, but don’t touch these men—they’re my guests.”
9 They said, “Get lost! You drop in from nowhere and now you’re going to tell us how to run our lives. We’ll treat you worse than them!” And they charged past Lot to break down the door.
10-11 But the two men reached out and pulled Lot inside the house, locking the door. Then they struck blind the men who were trying to break down the door, both leaders and followers, leaving them groping in the dark.
12-13 The two men said to Lot, “Do you have any other family here? Sons, daughters—anybody in the city? Get them out of here, and now! We’re going to destroy this place. The outcries of victims here to God are deafening; we’ve been sent to blast this place into oblivion.”
14 Lot went out and warned the fiancés of his daughters, “Evacuate this place; God is about to destroy this city!” But his daughters’ would-be husbands treated it as a joke.
15 At break of day, the angels pushed Lot to get going, “Hurry. Get your wife and two daughters out of here before it’s too late and you’re caught in the punishment of the city.”
16-17 Lot was dragging his feet. The men grabbed Lot’s arm, and the arms of his wife and daughters—God was so merciful to them!—and dragged them to safety outside the city. When they had them outside, Lot was told, “Now run for your life! Don’t look back! Don’t stop anywhere on the plain—run for the hills or you’ll be swept away.”
18-20 But Lot protested, “No, masters, you can’t mean it! I know that you’ve taken a liking to me and have done me an immense favor in saving my life, but I can’t run for the mountains—who knows what terrible thing might happen to me in the mountains and leave me for dead. Look over there—that town is close enough to get to. It’s a small town, hardly anything to it. Let me escape there and save my life—it’s a mere wide place in the road.”
21-22 “All right, Lot. If you insist. I’ll let you have your way. And I won’t stamp out the town you’ve spotted. But hurry up. Run for it! I can’t do anything until you get there.” That’s why the town was called Zoar, that is, Smalltown.
23 The sun was high in the sky when Lot arrived at Zoar.
24-25 Then God rained brimstone and fire down on Sodom and Gomorrah—a river of lava from God out of the sky!—and destroyed these cities and the entire plain and everyone who lived in the cities and everything that grew from the ground.
26 But Lot’s wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt.
27-28 Abraham got up early the next morning and went to the place he had so recently stood with God. He looked out over Sodom and Gomorrah, surveying the whole plain. All he could see was smoke belching from the Earth, like smoke from a furnace.
29 And that’s the story: When God destroyed the Cities of the Plain, he was mindful of Abraham and first got Lot out of there before he blasted those cities off the face of the Earth.
30 Lot left Zoar and went into the mountains to live with his two daughters; he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his daughters.
31-32 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is getting old and there’s not a man left in the country by whom we can get pregnant. Let’s get our father drunk with wine and lie with him. We’ll get children through our father—it’s our only chance to keep our family alive.”
33-35 They got their father drunk with wine that very night. The older daughter went and lay with him. He was oblivious, knowing nothing of what she did. The next morning the older said to the younger, “Last night I slept with my father. Tonight, it’s your turn. We’ll get him drunk again and then you sleep with him. We’ll both get a child through our father and keep our family alive.” So that night they got their father drunk again and the younger went in and slept with him. Again he was oblivious, knowing nothing of what she did.
36-38 Both daughters became pregnant by their father, Lot. The older daughter had a son and named him Moab, the ancestor of the present-day Moabites. The younger daughter had a son and named him Ben-Ammi, the ancestor of the present-day Ammonites.

Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed
19 The two angels(A) arrived at Sodom(B) in the evening, and Lot(C) was sitting in the gateway of the city.(D) When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground.(E) 2 “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet(F) and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.”
“No,” they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.”(G)
3 But he insisted(H) so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house.(I) He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast,(J) and they ate.(K) 4 Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom(L)—both young and old—surrounded the house. 5 They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”(M)
6 Lot went outside to meet them(N) and shut the door behind him 7 and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. 8 Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.”(O)
9 “Get out of our way,” they replied. “This fellow came here as a foreigner,(P) and now he wants to play the judge!(Q) We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.
10 But the men(R) inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. 11 Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness(S) so that they could not find the door.
12 The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you?(T) Get them out of here, 13 because we(U) are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the Lord against its people is so great(V) that he has sent us to destroy it.”(W)
14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry[a] his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the Lord is about to destroy the city!(X)” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.(Y)
15 With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away(Z) when the city is punished.(AA)”
16 When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters(AB) and led them safely out of the city, for the Lord was merciful to them.(AC) 17 As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives!(AD) Don’t look back,(AE) and don’t stop anywhere in the plain!(AF) Flee to the mountains(AG) or you will be swept away!”
18 But Lot said to them, “No, my lords,[b] please! 19 Your[c] servant has found favor in your[d] eyes,(AH) and you[e] have shown great kindness(AI) to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains;(AJ) this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. 20 Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.”
21 He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request(AK) too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. 22 But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.[f](AL))
23 By the time Lot reached Zoar,(AM) the sun had risen over the land. 24 Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur(AN) on Sodom and Gomorrah(AO)—from the Lord out of the heavens.(AP) 25 Thus he overthrew those cities(AQ) and the entire plain,(AR) destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land.(AS) 26 But Lot’s wife looked back,(AT) and she became a pillar of salt.(AU)
27 Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the Lord.(AV) 28 He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.(AW)
29 So when God destroyed the cities of the plain,(AX) he remembered(AY) Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe(AZ) that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.(BA)
Lot and His Daughters
30 Lot and his two daughters left Zoar(BB) and settled in the mountains,(BC) for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. 31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children—as is the custom all over the earth. 32 Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line(BD) through our father.”(BE)
33 That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.(BF)
34 The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I slept with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.”(BG) 35 So they got their father to drink wine(BH) that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.(BI)
36 So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.(BJ) 37 The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab[g];(BK) he is the father of the Moabites(BL) of today. 38 The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi[h]; he is the father of the Ammonites[i](BM) of today.
