Genesis 19
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Ἤλθον δὲ οἱ δύο ἄγγελοι εἰς Σόδομα ἑσπέρας· Λὼτ δὲ ἐκάθητο παρὰ τὴν πύλην Σοδόμων. ἰδὼν δὲ Λὼτ ἀνέστη εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῖς, καὶ προσεκύνησεν τῷ προσώπῳ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν·
Now the two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When Lot saw them, he got up to meet them, bowed facedown,
καὶ εἶπεν ἰδού, κύριοι, ἐκκλίνατε πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ παιδὸς ὑμῶν καὶ καταλύσατε, καὶ νίψατε τοὺς πόδας ὑμῶν, καὶ ὀρθρίσαντες ἀπελεύσεσθε εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν ὑμῶν. εἶπαν δέ οὐχί, ἀλλ’ ἢ ἐν τῇ πλατείᾳ καταλύσοαεν.
and said, “My lords, please turn aside into the house of your servant; wash your feet and spend the night. Then you can rise early and go on your way.” “No,” they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.”
καὶ παρεβιόζετο αὐτούς, καὶ ἐξέκλιναν πρὸς αὐτόν. καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτοῖς πότον καὶ ἀζύμους ἒπεψεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἔφαγον ωρὸ τοῦ κοιμηθῆναι.
But Lot insisted so strongly that they followed him into his house. He prepared a feast for them and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως οἱ Σοδομεῖται περιεκύκλωσαν τὴν οἰκίαν ἀπὸ νεανίσκου ἕως πρεσβυτέρου, ἅπας ὁ λαὸς ἅμα.
Before they had gone to bed, all the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, surrounded the house.
καὶ ἐξεκαλοῦντο τὸν Λώτ, καὶ ἔλεγον πρὸς αὐτόν Ποῦ εἰσιν οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ εἰσελθόντες πρὸς σὲ τὴν νύκτα; ἐξάγαγε αὐτοὺς πρὸς ἡμᾶς, ἵνα συγγενώμεθα αὐτοῖς.
They called out to Lot, saying, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Send them out to us so we can have relations with them!”
ἐξῆλθεν δὲ Λὼτ πρὸς αὐτούς, καὶ τὴν θύραν προσέῳξεν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ.
Lot went outside to meet them, shutting the door behind him.
εἰπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς Μηδαμῶς, ἀδελφοί, μὴ πονηρεύσησθε.
“Please, my brothers,” he pleaded, “don’t do such a wicked thing!
εἰσὶν δέ μοι δύο θυγατέρες, αἰ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ἄνδρα· ἐξάξω αὐτὰς πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ χρήσασθε αὐταῖς καθὰ ἀρέσκῃ ὑμῖν· μόνον εἰς τοὺς ἄνδρας τούτους μὴ ποιήσητε μηδὲν ἄδικον, οὗ εἵνεκεν εἰσῆλθον ὑπὸ τὴν στέγην τῶν δοκῶν μου.
Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them to you, and you can do to them as you please. But do not do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.”
εἶπαν δέ Ἀπόστα ἐκεῖ· εἰσῆλθες παροικεῖν, μὴ καὶ κρίσιν κμῖναι; νῦν οὑν σὲ κακώσομεν μᾶλλον ἢ καὶ παρεβιάζοντο τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν Λὼτ σφόδρα, καὶ ἤισαν τὴν θύραν.
“Get out of the way!” they replied. And they declared, “This one came here as a foreigner, and he is already acting like a judge! Now we will treat you worse than them.” And they pressed in on Lot and moved in to break down the door.
ἐκτείναντες δὲ οἱ ἄνδρες τὰς χεῖρας εἰσεσπάσαντο τὸν Λὼτ πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς εἰς τὸν οἶκον, καὶ τὴν θύραν τοῦ οἴκου ἀπέκλεισαν·
But the men inside reached out, pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.
τοὺς δὲ ἄνδρας τοὺς ὄντας ἐπὶ τῆς θύρας τοῦ οἴκου ἐπάταξαν ἀορασίᾳ, ἀπὸ μικροῦ ἕως μεγάλου· καὶ παρελύθησαν ζητοῦντες τὴν θύραν.
And they struck the men at the entrance, young and old, with blindness, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the door.
εἶπαν δὲ οἱ ἄνδρες πρὸς Λώτ Ἔστιν τίς σοι ὧδε, γαμβροὶ ἢ υἱοὶ ἢ θυγατέρες, ἢ εἴ τίς σοι ἅλλος ἐστὶν ἐν τῇ πόλει, ἐξάγαγε ἐκ τοῦ τόπου τούτου·
Then the two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—a son-in-law, your sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here,
ὅτι ἀπόλλυμεν ἡμεῖς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον, ὅτι ὑψώθη ἡ κραυγὴ αὐτῶν ἐναντίον κυρίου, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἡμᾶς κύριος ἐκτρίψαι αὐτήν.
because we are about to destroy this place. For the outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that He has sent us to destroy it.”
ἐξῆλθεν δὲ Λὼτ καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς τοὺς γαμβροὺς αὐτοῦ τοὺς εἰληφότας τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν Ἀνάστητε καὶ ἐξέλθατε ἐκ τοῦ τόπου τούτου, ὅτι ἐκτρίβει Κύριος τὴν πόλιν. ἔδοξεν δὲ γελοιάζειν ἐναντίον τῶν γαμβρῶν αὐτοῦ.
So Lot went out and spoke to the sons-in-law who were pledged in marriage to his daughters. “Get up,” he said. “Get out of this place, for the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.
ἡνίκα δὲ ὄρθρος ἐγίνετο, ἐπεσπούδαζον οἱ ἄγγελοι τὸν Λὼτ λέγοντες Ἀναστὰς λάβε τὴν γυναῖκά σου καὶ τὰς δύο θυγατέρας σου ἅς ἔχεις καὶ ἔξελθε, ἵν συναπόλῃ ταῖς ἀνομίαις τῆς πόλεως.
At daybreak the angels hurried Lot along, saying, “Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city.”
καὶ ἐταράχθησαν· καὶ ἑ τησαν οἱ ἄγγελοι τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῶν καὶ τῆς χειρὸς τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν χειρῶν τῶν δύο θυγατέρων αὐτοῦ, ἐν τῷ φείσασθαι κύριον
But when Lot hesitated, the men grabbed his hand and the hands of his wife and his two daughters. And they led them safely out of the city, because of the LORD’s compassion for them.
καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἐξήγαγον αὐτοὺς ἔξω καὶ εἶπαν Σώζων ν σεαυτοῦ ψυχήν· μὴ περιβλέψῃς εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω μηδὲ στῇς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ περιχώρῳ· εἰς τὸ ὄρος σώζου, μή ποτε δυνπαραλημφθῇς.
As soon as the men had brought them out, one of them said, “Run for your lives! Do not look back, and do not stop anywhere on the plain! Flee to the mountains, or you will be swept away!”
ἐπειδὴ εἶπεν ὁ παῖς σου ἔλεος ἐναντίον σου καὶ ἐμεγάλυνας τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου, ὁ ποιεῖς ἐπ’ ἐμὲ τοῦ ζῆν τὴν ψυχήν μου· ἐγὼ δὲ οὐ δυνήσομαι διασωθῆναι εἰς τὸ ὄρος, μὴ καταλάβῃ με τὰ κακὰ καὶ ἀποθάνω·
Your servant has indeed found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness by sparing my life. But I cannot run to the mountains; the disaster will overtake me, and I will die.
ἰδοὺ ἡ πόλις αὕτη ἐγγὺς τοῦ καταφυγεῖν με ἐκεῖ, ἥ ἐστιν μικρά· ἐκεῖ σωθήσομαι· οὐ μικρά ἐστιν ; καὶ ζήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου ἕνεκεν σοῦ.
Look, there is a town nearby where I can flee, and it is a small place. Please let me flee there—is it not a small place? Then my life will be saved.”
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἴδου ἐθαύμασά σου τὸ πρόσωπον καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ ῥήματι τούτῳ τοῦ μὴ καταστρέψαι τὴν πόλιν περὶ ἧς ἐλάλησας·
“Very well,” he answered, “I will grant this request as well, and will not demolish the town you indicate.
σπεῦσου οὖν τοῦ σωθῆναι ἐκεῖ· οὐ γὰρ δυνήσομαι ποιῆσαι πρᾶγμα ἕως τοῦ σε ἐλθεῖν ἐκεῖ. διὰ τοῦτο ἐπωνόμασεν τὸ ὄνομα τῆς πόλεως ἐκείνης Σήγωρ.
Hurry! Run there quickly, for I cannot do anything until you reach it.” That is why the town was called Zoar (note: Zoar means small.).
ὁ ἥλιος ἐξῆλθεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ Λὼτ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς Σήγωρ,
And by the time the sun had risen over the land, Lot had reached Zoar.
καὶ κύριος ἔβρεξεν ἐπὶ Σόδομα καὶ Γόμορρα θεῖον καὶ πῦρ παρὰ κυρίου ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ,
Then the LORD rained down sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens.
καὶ κατέστρεψεν τὰς πόλεις ταύτας ἐν αἷς κατῴκει ἐν αὐταῖς Λὼτ κοὶ περίοικον καὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν καὶ τὰ ἀνατέλλοντα ἐκ τῆς γῆς.
Thus He destroyed these cities and the entire plain, including all the inhabitants of the cities and everything that grew on the ground.
καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, καὶ ἐγένετο στήλη ἁλός.’
But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
ὤρθρισεν δὲ Ἀβραὰμ τὸ πρωὶ εἰς τὸν τόπον οὗ ἱστήκει ἐναντίον Κυρίου,
Early the next morning, Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD.
καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον Σοδόμων καὶ Γομόρρας καὶ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τῆς γῆς τῆς περιχείρου, καὶ ἴδεν· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνέβαινεν φλὸξ τῆς γῆς ὡσεὶ ἀτμὶς καμίνου.
He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and all the land of the plain, and he saw the smoke rising from the land like smoke from a furnace.
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐκτρίψαι κύριον πάσας τὰς πόλεις τῆς περιοίκου, ἐμνήσθη ὁ θεὸς τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν τὸν Λὼτ ἐκ μέσου τῆς καταστροφῆς, ἐν τῷ καταστρέψαι κύριον τὰς πόλεις ἐν αἷς κατῴκει ἐν αὐταῖς Λώτ.
So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, He remembered Abraham, and He brought Lot out of the catastrophe that destroyed the cities where he had lived.
Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Λὼτ ἐκ Σήγωρ, καὶ ἐκάθητο ἐν τῷ ὄρει καὶ αἱ δύο θυγατέρες αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ· ἐφοβήθη γὰρ κατοικῆσαι ἐν Σήγωρ· καὶ ᾤκησεν ἐν τῷ σπηλαίῳ αὐτὸς καὶ αἱ δύο θυγατέρες αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ.
Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains—for he was afraid to stay in Zoar—where they lived in a cave.
εἶπεν δὲ ἡ πρεσβυτέρα πρὸς τὴν νεωτέραν Ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν πρεσβύτερος, καὶ οὐδείς ἐστιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὃς εἰσελεύσεται πρὸς ἡμᾶς, ὡς καθήκει πάσῃ τῇ γῇ·
One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man in the land to sleep with us, as is the custom over all the earth.
δεῦρο οὖν ποτίσωμεν τὸν πατέρα ἡμῶν οἶνον καὶ κοιμηθῶμεν μετ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξαναστήσωμεν ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν σπέρμα.
Come, let us get our father drunk with wine so we can sleep with him and preserve his line.”
ἐπότισαν δὲ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν οἶνον ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ταύτῃ, καὶ εἰσελθοῦσα ἡ πρεσβυτέρα ἐκοιμήθη μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην· καὶ οὐκ ᾔδει ἐν τῷ κοιμηθῆναι αὐτὴν καὶ ἀναστῆναι.
So that night they got their father drunk with wine, and the firstborn went in and slept with her father; he was not aware when she lay down or when she got up.
ἐγένετο δὲ τῇ ἐπαύριον καὶ εἶπεν ἡ πρεσβυτέρα πρὸς τὴν νεωτέραν Ἰδοῦ ἐκοιμήθην ἐχθὲς μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν· ποτίσωμεν αὐτὸν οἶνον καὶ τὴν νύκτα ταύτην, καὶ εἰσελθοῦσα κοιμήθητι μετ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξαναστήσωμεν ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν σπέρμα.
The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Look, I slept with my father last night. Let us get him drunk with wine again tonight so you can go in and sleep with him and we can preserve our father’s line.”
ἐπότισαν δὲ καὶ ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν οἶνον, καὶ εἰσελθοῦσα ἡ νεωτέρα ἐκοιμήθη μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς· καὶ οὐκ ᾔδει ἐν τῷ κοιμηθῆναι αὐτὴν καὶ ἀναστῆναι.
So again that night they got their father drunk with wine, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him; he was not aware when she lay down or when she got up.
καὶ συνέλαβον αἱ δύο θυγατέρες Λὼτ ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν.
Thus both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.
καὶ ἔτεκεν ἡ πρεσβυτέρα υἱόν, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Μωὰβ λέγουσα Ἐκ τοῦ πατρός μου· οὗτος πατὴρ Μωαβιτῶν ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας.
The older daughter gave birth to a son and named him Moab (note: Moab sounds like the Hebrew for from my father.). He is the father of the Moabites of today.
ἔτεκεν δὲ καὶ ἡ νεωτέρα υἱόν, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἀμμάν, ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ γένους μου· οὗτος πατὴρ ’ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας.
The younger daughter also gave birth to a son, and she named him Ben-ammi (note: Ben-ammi means son of my people.). He is the father of the Ammonites of today.
