Postanak 19
Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod
Pokvarenost Sodome
19 Ona su dvojica anđela stigla uvečer do Sodome, a Lot je sjedio na gradskim vratima. Kad ih je ugledao, krenuo im je ususret i poklonio se do zemlje.
2 »Molim vas, gospodo«, rekao je, »svratite u kuću svoga sluge da prenoćite i operete noge, a rano ujutro možete nastaviti put.«
»Ne«, odgovorili su oni, »prenoćit ćemo na gradskom trgu.«
3 No Lot ih je uporno nagovarao pa su svratili k njemu. Ušli su u njegovu kuću, a on im je spremio gozbu i ispekao beskvasnog kruha te su jeli.
4 No prije nego što su otišli spavati, svi su muškarci Sodome, stari i mladi, svi do jednoga, opkolili kuću. 5 Pozvali su Lota i upitali: »Gdje su ljudi koji su noćas došli k tebi? Izvedi ih van. Želimo seks s njima.«
6 Tada je Lot izašao pred njih, zatvorio za sobom vrata 7 pa rekao: »Molim vas, prijatelji, ne činite takvo zlo. 8 Evo, imam dvije kćeri koje još nisu bile s muškarcima. Njih ću vam izvesti pa činite s njima što želite. Ali ne dirajte ove ljude jer su pod mojim krovom i zaštitom[a].«
9 »Makni nam se s puta!« rekli su. »Došao si ovdje kao stranac, a igrao bi se suca! Sad ćemo s tobom gore nego s njima.«
Nasrnuli su na Lota, a potom krenuli razvaliti vrata. 10 No ona dvojica ispruže ruke van, uvuku Lota k sebi u kuću i zatvore vrata. 11 Ljude su pred kućom zaslijepili te je i mladima i starima bilo teško pronaći vrata.
Anđeli izvode Lota iz grada
12 »Koga još imaš ovdje?« upitala su ona dvojica Lota. »Zetove, sinove, kćeri i sve svoje, izvedi iz grada. 13 Uništit ćemo ovo mjesto. Optužbe protiv ovih ljudi toliko su velike pred BOGOM da nas je poslao da uništimo grad.«
14 Lot je izašao da to kaže svojim budućim zetovima. »Brzo!« rekao im je. »Izađite iz ovog mjesta jer će ga BOG uništiti!« No njegovi su zetovi mislili da se šali.
15 Kad je svanulo jutro, anđeli su počeli požurivati Lota: »Brzo! Izvedi svoju ženu i svoje dvije kćeri koje su ovdje, da i vi ne budete uništeni kad kaznimo grad.«
16 Lot je oklijevao, ali BOG se sažalio nad njim. Stoga, ona su dvojica uzela za ruku njega, njegovu ženu i njegove dvije kćeri te ih izveli izvan grada. 17 Kad su ih izveli, jedan je od njih rekao: »Bježite i spasite se! Ne osvrćite se i ne zaustavljajte nigdje u dolini! Bježite u planine, da ne budete uništeni!«
18 Tada je Lot rekao: »Ne, gospodaru. 19 Tvoj je sluga stekao tvoju naklonost. Pokazao si veliku dobrotu prema meni kad si mi spasio život. No neću stići pobjeći u planine prije nego što me snađe uništenje. 20 Gle, eno mjesta koje je dovoljno blizu da u njega pobjegnem—onaj mali grad. Daj da pobjegnem onamo, u taj mali grad, da si spasim život.«
21 Anđeo mu je rekao: »Dobro, ispunit ću ti molbu i neću uništiti grad o kojem govoriš. 22 Požuri, pobjegni, jer ne mogu ništa učiniti dok ne stigneš ondje.«
Taj je grad dobio ime Soar[b] jer ga je Lot nazvao malim.
Uništenje Sodome i Gomore
23 Sunce je već izašlo kad je Lot stigao u Soar. 24 BOG je tada s neba gorućim sumporom zasuo Sodomu i Gomoru. 25 Uništio je te gradove i svu ravnicu, sve stanovnike gradova i sve raslinje na tlu.
26 Na putu za Soar Lotova se žena osvrnula prema Sodomi i pretvorila se u stup soli[c].
27 Abraham je rano ujutro otišao na mjesto gdje je bio stajao pred BOGOM. 28 Pogledao je prema Sodomi i Gomori te prema svoj dolini, i vidio kako dim suklja iz zemlje kao iz velike peći.
29 Tako je Bog uništio gradove u dolini u kojima se Lot bio nastanio, ali nije zaboravio obećanje dano Abrahamu jer je izveo Lota prije uništenja.
Porijeklo Moabaca i Amonaca
30 Lot je sa svojim dvjema kćerima otišao iz Soara jer se bojao ostati ondje. Nastanili su se na planini i živjeli u spilji.
31 Jednom je starija kći rekla mlađoj: »Naš je otac star, a u zemlji nema muškaraca. Ne možemo imati obitelj na način kako se to radi po cijelome svijetu. 32 Hajde da oca opijemo vinom pa da spavamo s njim, da se nastavi naša loza.« 33 Te su noći opile oca vinom, a starija je kći otišla k njemu i imala seksualni odnos s njime. On nije znao ni kad je došla k njemu ni kad je otišla.
34 Sutradan je starija rekla mlađoj: »Sinoć sam ja spavala s ocem. Hajde da ga i večeras opijemo pa ti idi i spavaj s njim. Na taj ćemo način produžiti lozu.« 35 Tako su navečer opet opile oca vinom, a mlađa je kći otišla i imala seksualni odnos s njime. On nije znao ni kad je došla k njemu ni kad je otišla.
36 Tako su obje Lotove kćeri zatrudnjele sa svojim ocem. 37 Starija je kći rodila sina i dala mu ime Moab[d]. On je predak današnjih Moabaca. 38 I mlađa je kći rodila sina i dala mu ime Ben Ami[e]. On je predak današnjih Amonaca.

Genesis 19
King James Version
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;
2 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.
3 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.
4 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:
5 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.
6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
8 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.
9 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.
10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
11 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.
12 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:
13 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.
14 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.
15 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.
16 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.
17 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.
18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
19 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:
20 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.
21 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.
22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord:
28 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.
29 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.
30 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.
31 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:
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
33 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.
34 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.
35 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.
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
37 And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
