창세기(Genesis) 19장

1. The two angels arrived at Sodom in the
evening, and Lot was sitting in the
gateway of the city. When he saw them,
he got up to meet them and bowed down
with his face to the ground.

2. “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to
your servant’s house. You can wash your
feet 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.”

3. But he insisted so strongly that they did
go with him and entered his house. He
prepared a meal for them, baking bread
without yeast, and they ate.

4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men
from every part of the city of Sodom- -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.”

6. Lot went outside to meet them 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.”

9. “Get out of our way,” they replied. And they
said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and
now he wants to play the judge! 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 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 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? Get them out of here,

13. because we are going to destroy this
place. The outcry to the LORD against
its people is so great that he has sent us
to destroy it.”

14. So Lot went out and spoke to his sons
-in-law, who were pledged to marry his
daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out
of this place, because the LORD is about
to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law
thought he was joking.

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 when the city is
punished.”

16. When he hesitated, the men grasped
his hand and the hands of his wife and of
his two daughters and led them safaly
out of the city, for the LORD was merciful
to them.

17. As soon as they had brought them out,
one of them said, “Flee for your lives!
Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere
in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you
will be swept away!”

18. But Lot said to them, “No my lords,
please!

19. Your servant has found favor in your
eyes, and you have shown great
kindness to me in sparing my life. But
I can’t flee to the mountains; 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 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. )

23. By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun
had risen over the land.

24. Then the LORD rained down burning
sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah- -from
the LORD out of the heavens.

25. Thus he overthrew those cities and the
entire plain, including all those living in the
cities- -and also the vegetation in the land.

26. But Lot’s wife looked back, and she
became a pillar of salt.

27. Early the next morning Abraham got up
and returned to the place where he had
stood before the LORD.

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.

29. So when God destroyed the cities of
the plain, he remembered Abraham, and
he brought Lot out of the catastrophe
that overthrew the cities where Lot had
lived.

30. Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and
settled in the mountains, 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 lie  with us, as is
the custom all over the earth.

32. Let’s get our father to drink wine and
then lie with him and preserve our family
line through our father.”

33. That night they got their father to drink
wine, and the older daughter went in and
lay with him. He was not aware of it when
she lay down or when she got up.

34. The next day the older daughter said
to the younger, “Last night I lay with my
father. Let’s get him to drink wine again
tonight, and you go in and lie with him
so we can preserve our family line
through our father.”

35. So they got their father to drink wine
that night also, and the younger
daughter went and lay with him. Again
he was not aware of it when she lay
down or when sh got up.

36. So both of Lot’s daughters became
pregnant by their father.

37. The older daughter had a son, and she
named him Moab ; he is the father of the
Moabites of today.

38. The younger daughter also had a son,
and she named him Ben-Ammi ; he is the
father of the Ammonites of today.
