创世记 19
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
羅得接待兩位天使
19 黃昏的時候，那兩位天使到了所多瑪，當時羅得正坐在所多瑪的城門口。羅得一看見他們，就起來迎接他們，俯伏在地， 2 說：“我主啊，請你們到僕人的家裡住一夜，洗洗你們的腳，清早起來再趕路。”他們回答：“不，我們要在街上過夜。” 3 但由於羅得再三的請求，他們才肯跟他回去，進了他的家。羅得為他們預備了筵席，烤了無酵餅，他們就吃了。
所多瑪的罪惡
4 他們還沒有躺下睡覺，那城裡的人，就是所多瑪的男人，無論是年輕的或是年老的，都從各處來圍住羅得的房子。 5 他們呼喚羅得，對他說：“今晚到你這裡來的人在哪裡？把他們帶出來，我們要與他們同房。” 6 羅得出來，隨手把門關上，到門口眾人那裡， 7 說：“我的弟兄們，請不要作惡。 8 看哪，我有兩個女兒，是還沒有和男人同房的，讓我把她們帶出來，你們高興怎樣待她們，就怎樣行吧！只是這兩個人，因為他們是到舍下來的，你們不可向他們作甚麼。” 9 眾人卻說：“滾開！”又說：“一個來這裡寄居的人，竟作起審判官來；現在我們要害你，比害他們還要厲害。”眾人就向羅得極力擁擠，他們衝前要打破房門。 10 那兩個人卻伸出手來，把羅得拉進屋裡去，並把門關上。 11 然後擊打那些門外的人，使他們無論老少，都眼目昏眩，以致找不到門口。
12 那二人對羅得說：“你這裡還有甚麼人沒有？無論是女婿、兒女，或是城中所有屬你的人，都要把他們從這地方帶走。 13 我們快要毀滅這地方了，因為控告他們的聲音在耶和華面前實在很大，所以耶和華派我們來毀滅這地方。” 14 於是羅得出去，告訴娶了他女兒的女婿說：“你們起來離開這地方；因為耶和華就要毀滅這城。”但是他的女婿以為他在開玩笑。
天使救羅得離開所多瑪
15 天快亮的時候，兩位天使催促羅得說：“起來，帶你的妻子，和你這裡的兩個女兒出去，免得你因這城的罪孽被除滅。” 16 羅得還在猶豫不決的時候，二人因為耶和華寬容羅得，就拉著羅得的手，和他妻子的手，以及他兩個女兒的手，把他們帶出來，安置在城外。 17 二人把他們帶出來以後，其中一位說：“逃命吧，不要回頭看，也不可留在這片平原上，要逃到山上去，免得你被除滅。” 18 羅得對他們說：“我主啊！請不要這樣。 19 看哪，你僕人既然在你眼前蒙恩，你又向我大施慈愛，救活我的性命；可是我還逃不到山上，恐怕這災禍就追上了我，我就死了。 20 看哪，這座城很近，可以逃到那裡，那只是一座小城，請讓我逃到那裡去。那不是一座小城嗎？這樣我就可以活命了。” 21 有一位天使對他說：“這事我也答應你，你所說的這城，我必不傾覆。 22 你趕快逃到那裡去，因為你還沒有到達那裡，我就不能作甚麼。”因此那城名叫瑣珥。
所多瑪與蛾摩拉被傾覆
23 羅得到達瑣珥的時候，太陽已經從地面升上來了。 24 當時，耶和華就使硫磺與火，從天上耶和華那裡降與所多瑪和蛾摩拉； 25 把那些城和全平原，以及城中所有的居民，連地上生長的，都毀滅了。 26 羅得的妻子在他後面向後一望，就變成了鹽柱。
27 亞伯拉罕清早起來，到他從前站在耶和華面前的地方， 28 向所多瑪和蛾摩拉，以及平原全地觀望。不料，看見那地有煙上升，好像燒窯的煙一樣。 29 神毀滅那平原上的眾城，傾覆羅得所住過的眾城的時候， 神記念亞伯拉罕，把羅得從傾覆中救出來。
摩押人和亞捫人的起源
30 羅得因為怕住在瑣珥，就與他的兩個女兒，一同離開瑣珥上了山，住在那裡；他和兩個女兒住在一個洞裡。 31 大女兒對小女兒說：“我們的爸爸已經老了，這地又沒有男人可以按著世上的常規進來與我們親近。 32 來吧，我們可以叫父親喝酒，然後與他同睡，這樣我們可以藉著父親保全後裔。” 33 當夜，她們叫父親喝酒，大女兒就進去與父親同睡，她甚麼時候躺下，甚麼時候起來，她父親都不知道。 34 第二天，大女兒對小女兒說：“昨夜我與父親同睡了，今夜我們再叫父親喝酒，你可以進去與他同睡，這樣我們可以藉著父親保全後裔。” 35 當夜，她們又叫父親喝酒，小女兒就起來，與父親同睡；她甚麼時候躺下，甚麼時候起來，她父親都不知道。 36 這樣，羅得的兩個女兒，都從她們的父親懷了孕。 37 大女兒生了一個兒子，給他起名叫摩押，就是現在摩押人的始祖。 38 小女兒也生了一個兒子，給他起名叫便．亞米，就是現在亞捫人的始祖。
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.
Genesis 19
English Standard Version
God Rescues Lot
19 The (A)two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed himself with his face to the earth 2 and said, “My lords, (B)please turn aside to your servant's house and spend the night (C)and wash your feet. Then you may rise up early and go on your way.” They said, (D)“No; we will spend the night in the town square.” 3 But he pressed them strongly; so they turned aside to him and entered his house. And he made them a feast and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house. 5 (E)And they called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? (F)Bring them out to us, that we (G)may know them.” 6 Lot went out to the men at the entrance, shut the door after him, 7 and said, “I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly. 8 (H)Behold, I have two daughters who have not known any man. Let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you please. Only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof.” 9 But they said, “Stand back!” And they said, “This fellow (I)came to sojourn, and (J)he has become the judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them.” Then they pressed hard against the man Lot, and drew near to break the door down. 10 But the men reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them and shut the door. 11 And they struck with (K)blindness the men who were at the entrance of the house, both small and great, so that they wore themselves out groping for the door.
12 Then the men said to Lot, “Have you anyone else here? Sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or anyone you have in the city, (L)bring them out of the place. 13 For we are about to destroy this place, (M)because the outcry against its people has become great before the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it.” 14 So Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, (N)“Up! Get out of this place, for the Lord is about to destroy the city.” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting.
15 As morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city.” 16 But he lingered. So the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, (O)the Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city. 17 And as they brought them out, one said, “Escape for your life. (P)Do not look back or stop anywhere in the (Q)valley. Escape to the hills, lest you be swept away.” 18 And Lot said to them, “Oh, no, my lords. 19 Behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life. But I cannot escape to the hills, lest the disaster overtake me and I die. 20 Behold, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there—is it not a little one?—and my life will be saved!” 21 He said to him, “Behold, I grant you this favor also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken. 22 Escape there quickly, for I can do nothing till you arrive there.” Therefore the name of the city was called (R)Zoar.[a]
God Destroys Sodom
23 The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar. 24 Then (S)the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the Lord out of heaven. 25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. 26 But Lot's wife, behind him, looked back, and she became (T)a pillar of salt.
27 And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had (U)stood before the Lord. 28 And he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the valley, and he looked and, behold, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace.
29 So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, God (V)remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when he overthrew the cities in which Lot had lived.
Lot and His Daughters
30 Now Lot went up out of Zoar and (W)lived in the hills with his two daughters, for he was afraid to live in Zoar. So he lived in a cave with his two daughters. 31 And the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to 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 offspring from our father.” 33 So they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in and lay with her father. He did not know when she lay down or when she arose.
34 The next day, the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine tonight also. Then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father.” 35 So they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose. 36 Thus both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father. 37 The firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab.[b] (X)He is the father of the Moabites to this day. 38 The younger also bore a son and called his name Ben-ammi.[c] (Y)He is the father of the Ammonites to this day.

Genesis 19
Revised Geneva Translation
19 And in the evening, two angels came to Sodom. And Lot sat at the gate of Sodom. And Lot saw them and rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face to the ground.
2 And he said, “See my lords, please turn in now into your servant’s house and stay the night and wash your feet. And you shall rise up early and go your ways.” They said, “No; but we will spend the night in the street.”
3 Then he pressed upon them earnestly; and they turned in to him and came to his house. And he made them a feast and baked unleavened bread. And they ate.
4 But before they went to bed, the men of the city (the men of Sodom, from the young even to the old, all the people from all quarters) surrounded the house.
5 And crying to Lot, they said to him, “Where are the men who came to you this night!? Bring them out to us, so that we may know them!”
6 Then Lot went out to them at the door, and shut the door after him,
7 and said, “Please, my brothers, do not behave so wickedly.
8 “Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known man. I will bring them out to you now; and do to them as seems good. Only, do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shadow of my roof.”
9 Then they said, “Get out of here!” And they said, “He has come alone, as a stranger; and shall he judge and rule? We will now deal worse with you than with them!” So, they pressed hard upon Lot himself, and came to break the door.
10 But the men put forth their hand and pulled Lot into the house to them and shut the door.
11 Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they were weary in seeking the door.
12 Then the men said to Lot, “Who else do you have here? Either son-in-law, or your sons or your daughters, or whatever you have in the city, bring it out of this place.
13 “For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is great before the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it.”
14 Then Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who married his daughters, and said, “Arise! Get out of this place. For the LORD will destroy the city.” But he seemed to his sons-in-law as though he were joking.
15 And when the morning arose, the angels hurried Lot, saying, “Arise! Take your wife and your two daughters which are here, lest you be destroyed in the punishment of the city.”
16 And as he hesitated, the men caught both him and his wife and his two daughters by the hands (the LORD being merciful to him); and they brought him forth and set him outside the city.
17 And when they had brought them out, the angel said, “Escape for your life. Do not look behind you, nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape into the mountain, lest you be destroyed.”
18 And Lot said to them, “Please, no, my Lord!
19 “Behold now, your servant has found grace in your sight; and you have magnified your mercy; which you have shown to me in saving my life. But I cannot escape into the mountain, lest some evil take me and I die.
20 “See, now, this city nearby to flee to, which is a little one. Oh, let me escape there (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live!”
21 Then he said to him, “Behold, I have received your request concerning this thing also: that I will not overthrow this city for which you have spoken.
22 “Hurry! Escape there. For I can do nothing till you get there.” Therefore, the name of the city was called Zoar.
23 The Sun rose upon the Earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
24 Then the LORD rained brimstone and fire upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah (from the LORD out of Heaven)
25 and overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew upon the Earth.
26 Now his wife behind him looked back; and she became a pillar of salt.
27 And Abraham, rising up early in the morning, went to the place where he had stood before the LORD.
28 And, looking toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the plain, behold, he saw the smoke of the land mounting up as the smoke of a furnace.
29 And yet, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, God thought upon Abraham. And He sent Lot out from the midst of the destruction when he overthrew the cities wherein Lot dwelled.
30 Then Lot went up out of Zoar and dwelt in the mountain with his two daughters; for he was afraid to remain in Zoar, but dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
31 And the elder said to the younger, “Our father is old; and there is not a man on the Earth to come into us after the manner of all the Earth.
32 “Come, we will make our father drink wine and lie with him, so that we may preserve seed of our father.”
33 So they made their father drink wine that night. And the elder went and lay with her father. But he did not perceive when she lay down, nor when she rose up.
34 And the next day, the elder said to the younger, “Behold, last night I lay with my father. Let us make him drink wine this night also; and you go and lie with him, so that we may preserve seed of our father.”
35 So they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose and lay with him. But he did not perceive when she lay down, nor when she rose up.
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
37 And the elder bore a son. And she called his name, Moab. The same is the father of the Moabites to this day.
38 And the younger bore a son also. And she called his name, Ben-Ammi. The same is the father of the Ammonites to this day.
