Sodom Ne Gomora Amumɔyɛ
1Ɔsoro abɔfo baanu no duu Sodom anwummere. Na Lot te kurow no pon ano. Bere a Lot huu sɛ wɔreba no, ɔsɔre kohyiaa wɔn kwan. Obuu nkotodwe, de nʼanim butuw fam, nam so maa wɔn akwaaba. 2Ɔkae se, “Me wuranom, mesrɛ mo, mommɛsoɛ mo akoa fi na memma mo nsu nhohoro mo anan ho, na monna, na ɔkyena anɔpatutuutu, moatoa mo akwantu no so.”
Nanso abɔfo no buae se, “Dabi, mmom, yɛbɛda aguabɔbea.”
3Nanso Lot kɔɔ so srɛɛ wɔn anibere so nti, wɔne no kɔɔ ne fi. Ɔtoo brodo a wamfa mmɔkaw amfra da no ara, de too wɔn pon ma wodii. 4Ansa na wɔbɛkɔ akɔda no, Sodomfo mpanyin ne mmofra nyinaa fi kurow no afanan betwaa ofi no ho hyiae. 5Wɔteɛteɛɛ mu frɛɛ Lot bisaa no se, “Mmarima a wɔbaa wo nkyɛn anadwo yi wɔ he? Fa wɔn brɛ yɛn, na yɛne wɔn nkɔda.”
6Lot fii adi, too ne pon mu, kohyiaa Sodom mmarima no. 7Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Me nuanom, mesrɛ mo, munni amumɔyɛsɛm a ɛte saa. 8Muntie! Mewɔ mmabea baanu a wonhuu mmarima da. Momma memfa wɔn mmrɛ mo, na nea mopɛ biara, moayɛ wɔn. Na saa mmarima baanu yi de, mommfa mo nsa nka wɔn, efisɛ wɔaba me suhyɛ bammɔ mu.”

10Nanso ɔsoro abɔfo baanu a wɔhyɛ fie hɔ no pue bɛtwee Lot kɔhyɛɛ fie hɔ, too pon no mu. 11Ɔsoro abɔfo baanu no maa mpanyin ne mmofra a wogyinagyina ɔpon no akyi no ani furafurae, enti wɔanhu ɔpon no koraa.
Sodom Ne Gomora Sɛe
12Mmarima baanu no bisaa Lot se, “Wowɔ abusuafo bi wɔ kurom ha sɛ ɛyɛ wo nsenom, wo mmabea, wo mmabarima anaa obi foforo bi a ɔyɛ wo ho nipa? Yi wɔn nyinaa fi ha, 13efisɛ yɛrebɛsɛe saa kurow yi pasaa. Amumɔyɛsɛm a etia nnipa yi a adu Awurade anim no ano den nti, wasoma yɛn sɛ yɛmmɛsɛe kurow yi.”
14Enti Lot fii adi kɔbɔɔ mmarima bi a wɔahyɛ bɔ sɛ wɔbɛwareware ne mmabea no amanneɛ. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monyɛ no ntɛm, na mumfi kurow yi mu, efisɛ Awurade Nyankopɔn rebɛsɛe kurow yi!” Nanso na saa mmarima yi susuw sɛ ɔredi fɛw bi.
15Anɔpahema no, ɔsoro abɔfo no hyɛɛ Lot se, “Ntɛm! Ka wo ho, na fa wo yere ne wo mmabea baanu a wɔwɔ ha no fi ha kɔ; anyɛ saa a, wɔde mo bɛfra kurow no, asɛe mo.”
16Ɔtwentwɛn ne anan ase no, ɔsoro abɔfo no susoo Lot ne yere ne ne mmabea baanu no nsa, twee wɔn, de wɔn fii kurow no mu asomdwoe mu, efisɛ Awurade huu wɔn mmɔbɔ. 17Ɔsoro abɔfo no yii Lot mmabea baanu no fii kurow no mu ara pɛ, abɔfo no mu baako kae se, “Munguan nnye mo kra nkwa; monnhwɛ mo akyi. Munnnyina baabiara. Munguan nkɔ mmepɔw no so, anyɛ saa a mubewuwu!”
18Nanso Lot ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Dabi me wuranom! 19Mo akoa anya mo anim adom, na moayɛ me adɔe kɛse de agye me nkwa. Nanso me de, merentumi nguan nkɔ mmepɔw no so, efisɛ misuro sɛ anhwɛ a, saa amanehunu yi bɛto me, ama mawu. 20Hwɛ, kurow ketewa bi bɛn ha. Mesrɛ mo, momma minkohintaw hɔ mmom, na manhwere me nkwa.

21Ɔsoro abɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ Lot se, “Eye, Mɛpene wʼabisade yi so; merensɛe saa kurow ketewa no. 22Ɛno de, guan kɔ hɔ ntɛm, efisɛ sɛ wunnuu hɔ a, merenyɛ biribiara.” Efi saa bere no na wɔfrɛɛ kurow no Soar a ase ne kurow ketewa.
23Bere a Lot duu Soar no, na owia apue. 24Afei, Awurade maa sufre ne ogya tɔ fii soro, guu Sodom ne Gomora so. 25Saa ɔkwan yi so na wɔfa de sɛee saa nkuropɔn abien ne asasetam no nyinaa. Nnipa a na wɔtete saa nkuropɔn no so ne asase no so afifide nso nyinaa sɛee. 26Nanso Lot yere twaa nʼani hwɛɛ nʼakyi ma ɔdan nkyene siw.
27Ade kyee anɔpatutuutu no, Abraham kɔɔ baabi a ogyinaa Awurade anim no. 28Ɔmaa nʼani so hwɛɛ Sodom ne Gomora fam ne asasetam no so nyinaa, huu wusiw kumɔnn a abua asase no so te sɛ wusiw a efi fononoo mu.
29Bere a Onyankopɔn sɛee nkurow a ɛwɔ asase tamaa no so no, Onyankopɔn kaee Abraham, na oyii Lot fii ɔsɛe a ɛbaa nkurow a na Lot te so no mu no.
Lot Ne Ne Mmabea Baanu No
30Lot ne ne mmabea baanu no tu fii Soar kɔtenaa ɔbodan bi a na ɛwɔ mmepɔw no so no mu, efisɛ na osuro sɛ ɔbɛtena Soar. 31Da koro bi, ɔbabea panyin no ka kyerɛɛ akumaa no se, “Yɛn agya abɔ akwakoraa, na ɔbarima biara nso nni ha a ɔne yɛn bɛda, sɛnea wɔyɛ wɔ wiase baabiara no. 32Ne saa nti, ma yɛmma yɛn agya nsa nnom, na afei yɛne no nna, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a yɛnam ne so bɛma yɛn ase afɛe.”
33Saa anadwo no, wɔmaa wɔn agya nsa nomee. Na ɔbabea panyin no ne no kɔdae. Lot anhu bere ko a ne babea panyin no de bɛdaa hɔ ne bere ko a ɔsɔre kɔe.
34Ade kyee no, ɔbabea panyin no ka kyerɛɛ akumaa no se, “Nnɛra anadwo, me ne mʼagya dae.

Na akumaa no nso ne nʼagya kɔdae. Bio, Lot anhu bere ko a akumaa no de bɛdaa hɔ ne bere ko a ɔsɔre kɔe.
36Enti Lot ne ne mmabea baanu no nyinsɛnee. 37Ne babea panyin no woo ɔbabarima, na ɔtoo no din Moab. Ɔno na ɔyɛ Moabfo agya de besi nnɛ. 38Akumaa no nso woo ɔbabarima, na ɔtoo no din Ben-Ami; ɔno nso ne Amon mma agya de besi nnɛ.
1And 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; 2And 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. 3And 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: 5And 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. 6And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, 7And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. 8Behold 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. 9And 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. 10But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. 11And 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: 13For 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. 14And 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.19.15 are here: Heb. are found19.15 iniquity: or, punishment 16And 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. 18And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord: 19Behold 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: 20Behold 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. 21And 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.19.21 thee: Heb. thy face 22Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.19.22 Zoar: that is, Little
23¶ The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.19.23 risen: Heb. gone forth
24Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; 25And 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: 28And 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. 31And 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: 32Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. 33And 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. 34And 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. 35And 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. 36Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. 37And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day. 38And 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.
