1 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;
Basi, wale malaika wawili wakaja Sodoma jioni; na Lutu alikuwa amekaa mlangoni pa Sodoma. Lutu akawaona akaondoka akaenda kuwalaki, akainama kifudifudi.
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.
Akasema, Bwana zangu, karibuni nawasihi mwingie nyumbani mwa mtumwa wenu, mkalale, mkanawe miguu yenu, hata asubuhi mwondoke na mapema mkaende zenu. Wakasema, Sivyo, lakini tutakaa uwanjani usiku kucha.
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.
Akawasihi sana, nao wakaja, wakaingia nyumbani mwake. Akawafanyia karamu, akawapikia mikate isiyochachwa nao wakala.
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:
Hata kabla hawajalala, watu wa mji, wenyeji wa Sodoma, wakaizunguka nyumba, vijana kwa wazee, watu wote waliotoka pande zote.
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.
Wakamwita Lutu, wakamwambia, Wa wapi wale watu waliokuja kwako usiku huu? Uwatoe kwetu, tupate kuwajua.
6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
Lutu akawatokea mlangoni, akafunga mlango nyuma yake.
7 and said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
Akasema, Basi, nawasihi, ndugu zangu, msitende vibaya hivi.
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.
Tazama, ninao binti wawili ambao hawajajua mtu mume, nawasihi nitawatolea kwenu mkawafanyie vilivyo vyema machoni penu, ila watu hawa msiwatende neno, kwa kuwa wamekuja chini ya dari yangu.
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.
Wakasema Ondoka hapa! Kisha wakanena, Mtu huyu mmoja amekuja kwetu kuketi hali ya ugeni; naye kumbe, anataka kuhukumu! Basi tutakutenda wewe vibaya kuliko hawa. Wakamsonga sana huyo mtu, huyo Lutu, wakakaribia wauvunje mlango.
10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
Lakini wale watu wakanyosha mikono yao, wakamwingiza Lutu kwao nyumbani, wakaufunga mlango.
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.
Kisha wakawapiga hao watu walioko mlangoni kwa upofu, wadogo kwa wakubwa, hata wakachoka kwa kuutafuta mlango.
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:
Basi wale watu wakamwambia Lutu, Je! Unaye mtu hapa zaidi? Mkwe, wanao, na binti zako, na wo wote ulio nao katika mji, uwatoe katika mahali hapa;
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.
maana tutapaharibu sisi mahali hapa, kwa kuwa kilio chake kimezidi mbele za Bwana; naye Bwana ametupeleka tupaharibu.
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.
Lutu akatoka akasema na wakweze, waliowaposa binti zake, akasema, Ondokeni mtoke katika mahali hapa kwa sababu Bwana atauharibu mji huu. Lakini akawa kama achezaye machoni pa wakweze.
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.
Hata alfajiri ndipo malaika wakamhimiza Lutu, wakisema, Ondoka, mtwae mkeo na binti zako wawili waliopo hapa, usipotee katika maovu ya mji huu.
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.
Akakawia-kawia; nao wale watu wakamshika mkono, na mkono wa mkewe, na mkono wa binti zake wawili, kwa jinsi Bwana alivyomhurumia, wakamtoa wakamweka nje ya mji.
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.
Ikawa walipomtoa nje, mmoja alisema, Jiponye nafsi yako usitazame nyuma, wala usisimame katika hilo bonde po pote; ujiponye mlimani, usije ukapotea.
18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
Lutu akawaambia, Sivyo, bwana wangu!
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:
Tazama, mtumwa wako ameona kibali machoni pako, nawe umezidisha rehema zako ulizonifanyia kwa kuponya nafsi yangu, nami siwezi kukimbilia mlimani nisipatwe na yale mabaya, nikafa.
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.
Basi mji huu u karibu, niukimbilie, nao ni mdogo, nijiponye sasa huko, sio mdogo huu? Na nafsi yangu itaishi.
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.
Akamwambia, Tazama, nimekukubali hata kwa neno hili, kwamba sitauangamiza mji huo uliounena.
22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
Hima, ujiponye huko, maana siwezi kufanya neno lo lote, hata uingiapo humo. Kwa hiyo jina la mji ule likaitwa Soari.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
Jua lilikuwa limechomoza juu ya nchi Lutu alipoingia Soari.
24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
Ndipo Bwana akanyesha juu ya Sodoma na juu ya Gomora kiberiti na moto toka mbinguni kwa Bwana.
25 and he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
Akaangusha miji hiyo na Bonde lote, na wote waliokaa katika miji hiyo, na yote yaliyomea katika nchi ile.
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Lakini mkewe Lutu akatazama nyuma yake, akawa nguzo ya chumvi.
27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:
Ibrahimu akatoka asubuhi kwenda mahali aliposimama mbele za Bwana,
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.
naye akatazama upande wa Sodoma na Gomora na nchi yote ya hilo Bonde, akaona, na tazama, moshi wa nchi ukapanda, kama moshi wa tanuru.
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.
Ikawa Mungu alipoiharibu miji ya Bondeni, Mungu akamkumbuka Ibrahimu, akamtoa Lutu katika maangamizi alipoiangamiza miji hiyo aliyokaa Lutu.
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.
Lutu akapanda kutoka Soari akakaa mlimani, na binti zake wawili pamoja naye, kwa sababu aliogopa kukaa katika Soari. Akakaa katika pango, yeye na binti zake wawili.
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:
Yule mkubwa akamwambia mdogo, Baba yetu ni mzee, wala hakuna mtu mume katika nchi atuingilie kama ilivyo desturi ya dunia yote.
32 come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
Haya, na tumnyweshe baba yetu mvinyo, tukalale naye, ili tumhifadhie baba yetu uzao.
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.
Wakamnywesha baba yao mvinyo usiku ule, akaondoka huyo mkubwa akalala naye, wala yeye hana habari alipolala wala alipoondoka.
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.
Ikawa siku ya pili, mkubwa akamwambia mdogo, Tazama, nimelala jana na baba yangu, tumnyweshe mvinyo tena usiku huu, ukaingie ukalale naye.
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.
Wakamnywesha tena baba yao mvinyo usiku ule, akaondoka mdogo akalala naye, wala yeye hana habari alipolala wala alipoondoka.
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
Basi hao binti wote wawili wa Lutu wakapata mimba kwa baba yao.
37 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
Yule mkubwa akazaa mwana, akamwita jina lake Moabu; huyo ndiye baba wa Wamoabi, hata leo.
38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Ben-ammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
Na yule mdogo naye akazaa mwana akamwita jina lake Benami; huyo ndiye baba wa Waamoni hata leo.
