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
Ang Biblia, 2001
Ang Pagiging Makasalanan ng Sodoma
19 Dumating ang dalawang anghel sa Sodoma nang nagtatakipsilim na. Si Lot ay nakaupo sa pintuang-bayan ng Sodoma. Sila'y nakita ni Lot at tumindig upang salubungin sila; at iniyukod ang kanyang mukha sa lupa.
2 At sinabi, “Ngayon mga panginoon ko, hinihiling ko sa inyo na kayo'y bumalik at tumuloy sa bahay ng inyong lingkod, at magpalipas ng gabi, at maghugas ng inyong mga paa, at sa madaling araw ay magsibangon kayo at magpatuloy ng inyong paglakad.” Kanilang sinabi, “Hindi, sa lansangan kami magpapalipas ng buong magdamag.”
3 Ngunit kanyang pinilit nang husto kaya't sila'y nagsipasok sa kanyang bahay. Sila'y kanyang ipinaghanda, ipinagluto ng mga tinapay na walang pampaalsa, at sila ay kumain.
4 Subalit bago sila nagsihiga, ang mga lalaki ng lunsod, ang mga lalaki sa Sodoma, maging mga bata at matanda, lahat ng mga tao hanggang sa pinakahuling tao, ay pumalibot sa bahay.
5 Kanilang(A) tinawagan si Lot at sinabi, “Saan naroon ang mga lalaking dumating sa iyo nang gabing ito? Ilabas mo sila sa amin upang makilala namin sila.”
6 Lumabas si Lot sa pintuan upang humarap sa kanila, at isinara ang pinto sa likuran niya.
7 At sinabi niya, “Mga kapatid ko, nakikiusap ako na huwag kayong gumawa ng ganyang kasamaan.
8 Narito, may dalawa akong anak na babae na hindi pa nasipingan ng lalaki. Sila'y aking ilalabas sa inyo, at gawin ninyo sa kanila ang ayon sa inyong nais, huwag lamang ninyong gawan ng anuman ang mga lalaking ito, sapagkat sila'y nasa ilalim ng aking bubungan.”
9 At sinabi nila, “Manatili ka diyan!” At sinabi pa nila, “Ang taong ito'y naparito bilang dayuhan, at ibig niyang maging hukom! Ngayon, gagawan ka namin ng higit na masama kaysa kanila.” At kanilang ipinagtulakan ang lalaking si Lot, at nagsilapit upang sirain ang pintuan.
10 Subalit iniunat ng mga lalaki ang kanilang kamay at binatak si Lot sa loob ng bahay at kanilang sinarhan ang pintuan.
11 At(B) binulag nila ang mga taong nasa pintuan ng bahay, maging maliit o malaki, anupa't hindi nila makita ang pintuan.
Umalis si Lot sa Sodoma
12 At sinabi ng mga lalaki kay Lot, “Mayroon ka pa ba ritong kasama? Paalisin mo sa lugar na ito ang iyong mga manugang na lalaki at mga anak na lalaki at babae, o sinuman sa mga kasamahan mo sa lunsod.
13 Sapagkat malapit na naming lipulin ang lugar na ito dahil sa napakalakas na ng sigaw laban sa bayang ito sa harap ng Panginoon; at kami ay sinugo ng Panginoon upang ito ay aming lipulin.”
14 Kaya't si Lot ay lumabas at kinausap ang kanyang mga manugang na noon ay mapapangasawa ng kanyang mga anak na babae, at sinabi, “Tumindig kayo, magsialis kayo sa lugar na ito; sapagkat gugunawin ng Panginoon ang bayan.” Subalit ang akala ng kanyang mga manugang ay nagbibiro siya.
15 Kinaumagahan, pinapagmadali ng mga anghel si Lot, na sinasabi, “Bumangon ka, isama mo ang iyong asawa at ang iyong dalawang anak na babae na narito, baka pati ikaw ay madamay sa parusa sa bayan.”
16 Subalit(C) siya'y nagtagal. Kaya't dahil sa habag sa kanya ng Panginoon, hinawakan ng mga lalaki ang kanyang kamay at ang kamay ng kanyang asawa, at ang kamay ng kanyang dalawang anak na babae; at siya'y inilabas nila at iniwan sa labas ng bayan.
17 Nang sila'y mailabas na nila, ay sinabi nila, “Tumakas ka alang-alang sa iyong buhay. Huwag kang lumingon o huminto man sa buong libis; tumakas ka hanggang sa bundok, sapagkat kung hindi, ikaw ay mamamatay.”
18 At sinabi sa kanila ni Lot, “Huwag, mga panginoon ko!
19 Ang lingkod mo ay nakatagpo ng biyaya sa iyong paningin, at nagpakita ka sa akin ng malaking awa sa pagliligtas ng aking buhay. Subalit hindi ko kayang tumakas sa bundok, baka ako'y abutan ng kapahamakan, at ako'y mamatay.
20 Tingnan mo, ang kasunod na lunsod ay malapit lamang upang matakasan at iyon ay maliit. Pahintulutan mo akong tumakas roon. Hindi ba iyon ay maliit lamang at ang aking buhay ay maliligtas?”
21 At sinabi niya sa kanya, “O sige, pinapayagan din kita sa bagay na ito at hindi ko na gugunawin ang lunsod na iyong binanggit.
22 Magmadali ka, tumakas ka roon; sapagkat wala akong magagawa hanggang sa dumating ka roon.” Kaya't ang pangalang itinawag sa bayang iyon ay Zoar.[a]
Ang Pagkawasak ng Sodoma at Gomorra
23 Ang araw ay sumikat na sa lupa nang dumating si Lot sa Zoar.
24 At(D) buhat sa langit ay nagpaulan ang Panginoon sa Sodoma at Gomorra ng asupre at apoy.
25 Ginunaw niya ang mga lunsod na iyon, at ang buong libis at ang lahat ng nakatira sa mga lunsod at ang tumutubo sa lupa.
26 Subalit(E) ang asawa ni Lot ay lumingon sa likuran niya, at siya ay naging haliging asin.
27 Kinaumagahan, si Abraham ay maagang nagtungo sa dakong kinatayuan niya sa harap ng Panginoon.
28 Siya'y tumingin sa dakong Sodoma at Gomorra, at sa buong lupain ng libis. At kanyang nakita na ang usok ng lupain ay tumataas na parang usok ng isang hurno.
29 At nangyari, nang gunawin ng Diyos ang mga lunsod ng libis, naalala ng Diyos si Abraham, at inilabas si Lot nang gunawin ang mga lunsod na tinirahan niya.[b]
Ang Pinagmulan ng mga Moabita at Ammonita
30 Umahon si Lot papalabas sa Zoar at tumira sa bundok kasama ang kanyang dalawang anak na babae sapagkat siya'y takot na tumira sa Zoar. Siya'y tumira sa isang yungib kasama ang kanyang dalawang anak na babae.
31 At sinabi ng panganay sa bunso, “Ang ating ama ay matanda na at walang lalaki sa lupa na sumiping sa atin, ayon sa kaugalian ng buong lupa.
32 Halika, painumin natin ng alak ang ating ama, at tayo'y sumiping sa kanya upang mapanatili natin ang binhi ng ating ama.”
33 At pinainom nila ng alak ang kanilang ama nang gabing iyon at pumasok ang panganay at sumiping sa kanyang ama. Hindi nalaman ng ama nang siya'y mahiga ni nang siya'y bumangon.
34 Kinabukasan, sinabi ng panganay sa bunso, “Tingnan mo, ako'y sumiping kagabi sa aking ama. Painumin din natin siya ng alak sa gabing ito. Pumasok ka at sumiping sa kanya upang mapanatili natin ang binhi ng ating ama.”
35 At pinainom din nila ng alak ang kanilang ama nang gabing iyon. Tumindig ang bunso at sumiping sa ama. Hindi nalaman ng ama nang siya'y mahiga ni nang siya'y bumangon.
36 Sa ganito'y kapwa nagdalang-tao ang mga anak ni Lot sa pamamagitan ng kanilang ama.
37 Nanganak ang panganay ng isang lalaki, at tinawag sa pangalang Moab na siyang ama ng mga Moabita hanggang sa araw na ito.
38 At ang bunso ay nanganak din ng isang lalaki, at tinawag sa pangalang Benammi na siyang ama ng mga anak ni Ammon hanggang sa araw na ito.

New International Version
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.
