Mbatyomov mba uhar mbara za ar hen Sodom aikighe; yô, Loti tema hen hundagar u Sodom; Loti nengen a ve yô, a mough a za kegh ve gbenda, a ngurum, a wa ityough inya,
The two angels came to Sodom at evening. Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them. He bowed himself with his face to the earth,
a kaa er: Ne uter av, shi kaha nen, nyôr nen hen ya u wanakiriki wen, tsa nen, ôô nen angahar, tsô né va mough pepe né yem; kpa ve kaa er: Ei, ka hen tembe sé tsa ye.
and he said, “See now, my lords, please come into your servant’s house, stay all night, wash your feet, and you can rise up early, and go on your way.” They said, “No, but we will stay in the street all night.”
A zamber a ve tsung; tsô ve goom her a na, ve nyôr hen ya na; un kpaa a yôr ve iwer, a kaa bredi u i we kwa sha mi ga yô, ve ya.
He urged them greatly, and they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
Kpa er ve lu a yav ga je tsô, ior mba hen gar la, Mbasodom, ve kase ya la, mbayevikaior kua mbatamen kpaa, ior ca ca cii;
But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.
ve gba yilan Loti, kaan a na er: Ior mba ve ve hen a we tugh ne yô, mba hana? Due a ve, va a ve hen vese heen, se̱ fa ve.
They called to Lot, and said to him, “Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them.”
Tsô Loti due za hen ve, gema uwegh wuhe hunda ken ijime.
Lot went out to them through the door, and shut the door after himself.
A kaa er: Anmgbianev av, de eren nen ifer nahan ze he!
He said, “Please, my brothers, don’t act so wickedly.
Nenge, mo m ngu a ônov mba kasev uhar mba ve lu a fa nom ga yô; yô shi de nen, m̱ due ne a ve, er nen a ve er i sar ne yô, kpa ior mban yô, de eren nen ve kwagh ga, sha er ve va nyer hen haav av yô.
See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them what seems good to you. Only don’t do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof.”
Ve kaa er: Kpela keela. Shi ve kaa er: Or ne va shir tsô, man gema ngu veren iyol er un ngu orjir; yô, sé er u kwagh u bo á hemba u ve. Tsô ve imbishi or la, ka Loti je la, ve kporom sha u vihin hunda.
They said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now we will deal worse with you than with them!” They pressed hard on the man Lot, and came near to break the door.
Kpa ior mbala naregh uwegh vegh, kôr Loti nyôr a mi, va kohol ve ken iyou, maa ve wuhe hunda.
But the men reached out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
Tsô ve pir mba hen hunda u ya la ashe, mbakiriki kua mbatamen cii; ve ker hunda je ve vôr.
They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
Tsô ior mbala kaa a Loti er: Ior mbagenev kpaa mba u heene? Wankem man ônov ou mba nomso man mba kasev mba u lu a mi hen gar cii, due a ve hen ijiir ne kera;
The men said to Lot, “Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place:
gadia timin yase ijiir ne, sha ci u mliam ma i vaa ve gba ikôr sha ishigh ki TER, nahan TER tindi se sha u se̱ va tim i.
for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown so great before Yahweh that Yahweh has sent us to destroy it.”
Tsô Loti due ôr kwagh a ônov nav mba kemev mba ve sôôr ônov nav yô, a kaa er: Mough due nen hen ijiir ne kera; gadia TER timin gar ne je ne; kpa ônov nav mba kemev yô, lu ve er ka asenge a eren yô.
Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, “Get up! Get out of this place, for Yahweh will destroy the city!” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.
Sev mbu av yô, mbatyomov gba torough a Loti kaan er: Mough kua kwase wou man ônov ou mba kasev mba uhar mba ve lu heen ne, sha er ú tim sha ibo i gar ne ga yô.
When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, “Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city.”
Kpa a er zô zô; ior mbara kôr un sha uwe kua kwase na man ônov nav mba kasev uhar, gadia Aôndo lu zungwen un mhôônom; ve due a na ve ver un ken akôngo a gar.
But he lingered; and the men grabbed his hand, his wife’s hand, and his two daughters’ hands, Yahweh being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.
Tsô zum u ve due a ve ken won yô, A kaa a ve er: Yevese war, de gem ashe ijime ga, gbulumaa ne cii kpaa, de til her ga, yevese yem sha uwo, sha er ú tim ga yô.
It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, “Escape for your life! Don’t look behind you, and don’t stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be consumed!”
Loti kaa a na er: Ku, nahan ga, TERE!
Lot said to them, “Oh, not so, my lord.
Nenge, doo U a wanakiriki wou, U zungwem je, er U yem uma wam yô; kpa me fatyô u yevese za waren sha uwo la ga; gadia kwaghbo una kohol mo sha gbenda, me kpe.
See now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your loving kindness, which you have shown to me in saving my life. I can’t escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die.
Shi nenge, gar ne ngu heen ikua ikua u yevese za waren ker, ka u kiriki je. Yô, shi de, m̱ za ker, ka u kiriki tsô gaa? Uma wam a̱ war.
See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (isn’t it a little one?), and my soul will live.”
A kaa a na er: Yô, sha kwagh ne kpaa, M rumun we ve, Me tim gar u u kaa la ga.
He said to him, “Behold, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.
Er fefa, yem ker, gadia Me fatyô u eren ma kwagh ga, saa u nyôr ker ve. Ka nahan man i yila gar la er Soar ye.
Hurry, escape there, for I can’t do anything until you get there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
Zum u Loti ar ken Soar la yô, iyange vande kôndon sha ve.
The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
Tsô TER er sulfur man usu due sha TER Sha, haa sha Sodom man Gomora.
Then Yahweh rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from Yahweh out of the sky.
A tim agar la, man gbulumaa la cii, man mba ve lu ken agar la cii kua akaamenden a hen inya kpaa.
He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.
Kpa kwase na u a lu un ken ijime la gema ashe ijime, maa a hingir icebar.
But Lot’s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Tsô Aberaham mough pepe za her ape yan tile sha ishigh ki TER la;
Abraham went up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Yahweh.
te ashe nengen ken ian i Sodom man Gomora kua gbulumaa u tar la cii yô, a nenge mnyim hen inya lu kôndon sha, er ka mnyim ma duen ken atse yô.
He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.
Shighe u Aôndo timin agar a hen gburumaa la, Aondo umbur Aberaham, A er Loti due ken mtim la kera, zum u lu timin agar a Loti tema ker la.
When God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.
Loti due ken Soar tema sha uwo, a ônov nav mba kasev uhar a na imôngo; gadia lu cian u teman ken Soar; a tema ken bar, un kua ônov nav mba kasev uhar mbara.
Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters.
Tsô u vesen la kaa a u kiriki la er: Ter wase bee iyol, man ma or nan kera ngu sha tar u nana va hen vese inja i ior ve eren sha tar ga.
The firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us in the way of all the earth.
Va, er ter wase a̱ ma wain; yô, sé yav a na sha u sé ver ter wase tse yô,
Come, let’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”
Tsô ve er ter ve ma wain hen tugh mbula; nahan u iunda la nyôr za yav a ter na; kpa a fa myav na ga, shin mmough na kpaa ga.
They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Tsô kper nan yô, u vesen la kaa a u kiriki la er: Nenge, nyen tugh m yav a terem; yô, shi sé er un a̱ ma wain tugh mbun kpaa, we kpaa, nyôr yav a na, sha u sé ver ter wase tse yô.
It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let’s make him drink wine again tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”
Tsô ve er ter ve ma wain hen tugh mbula kpaa; wen ukiriki la nyôr yav a na. kpa a fa myav na ga, shin mmough na kpaa ga.
They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she got up.
Nahan ônov mba Loti uhar cii, ve wa iyav a ter ve.
Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father.
U iunda la mar wannomso, a ii un iti er, Moabi. Ka un je a lu ter u Mbamoabi zan zan nyian ye.
The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.
U kiriki la kpaa mar wan, a ii un iti er Benami. Ka un a lu ter u ônov mba Amon zan zan nyian ye.
The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. He is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.
