Genesis, 19

1. And the two Angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting at the gate of the city. And when he had seen them, he rose up and went to meet them. And he reverenced prone on the ground.

1. Ona dva anðela stignu naveèer u Sodomu dok je Lot sjedio na vratima Sodome. Kad ih Lot ugleda, ustade i poðe im u susret. Nakloni se licem do zemlje,

2. And he said: “I beg you, my lords, turn aside to the house of your servant, and lodge there. Wash your feet, and in the morning you will advance on your way.” And they said, “Not at all. But we will lodge in the street.”

2. a onda im reèe: "Molim, gospodo, svrnite u kuæu svoga sluge da noæ provedete i noge operete; a onda možete na put rano." A oni rekoše: "Ne, noæ æemo provesti na trgu."

3. He pressed them very much to turn aside to him. And when they had entered his house, he made a feast for them, and he cooked unleavened bread, and they ate.

3. Ali ih on uporno navraæaše, i oni se uvratiše k njemu i uðoše u njegovu kuæu. On ih ugosti, ispeèe pogaèu te blagovaše.

4. But before they went to bed, the men of the city surrounded the house, from boys to old men, all the people together.

4. Još ne bijahu legli na poèinak, kad graðani Sodome, mladi i stari, sav narod do posljednjeg èovjeka, opkole kuæu.

5. And they called out to Lot, and they said to him: “Where are the men who entered to you in the night? Bring them out here, so that we may know them.”

5. Zovnu Lota pa mu reknu: "Gdje su ljudi što su noæas došli k tebi? Izvedi nam ih da ih se namilujemo?"

6. Lot went out to them, and blocking the door behind him, he said:

6. Lot iziðe k njima na ulaz, a za sobom zatvori vrata.

7. “Do not, I ask you, my brothers, do not be willing to commit this evil.

7. "Braæo moja," reèe on, "molim vas, ne èinite toga zla!

8. I have two daughters who as yet have not known man. I will bring them out to you; abuse them as it pleases you, provided that you do no evil to these men, because they have entered under the shadow of my roof.”

8. Imam, evo, dvije kæeri s kojima još èovjek nije imao dodira: njih æu vam izvesti pa èinite s njima što želite; samo ovim ljudima nemojte ništa uèiniti jer su došli pod sjenu moga krova."

9. But they said, “Move away from there.” And again: “You have entered,” they said, “as a stranger; should you then judge? Therefore, we will afflict you yourself more than them.” And they acted very violently against Lot. And they were now at the point of breaking open the doors.

9. "Odstupi odatle!" - rekoše. - "Došao kao dotepenac, a za suca se veæ postavlja. Sad æemo mi s tobom gore nego s njima." I nasrnuše na jadnika Lota i navališe na vrata da ih razbiju.

10. And behold, the men put out their hand, and they pulled Lot in to them, and they closed the door.

10. Ali ona dvojica pruže ruke van, povukoše Lota k sebi u kuæu i zatvore vrata;

11. And they struck those who were outside with blindness, from the least to the greatest, so that they were not able to find the door.

11. a ljude pred vratima, mlade i stare, zabliješte tako da nisu mogli naæi vrata.

12. Then they said to Lot: “Do you have here anyone of yours? All who are yours, sons-in-law, or sons, or daughters, bring them out of this city.

12. Onda ona dvojica upitaju Lota: "Koga još ovdje imaš: sinove i kæeri, sve koje imaš u gradu iz mjesta izvedi!

13. For we will eliminate this place, because the outcry among them has increased before the Lord, who sent us to destroy them.”

13. Jer mi æemo zatrti ovo mjesto: vika je na njih pred Jahvom postala tolika te nas Jahve posla da ga uništimo."

14. And so Lot, going out, spoke to his sons-in-law, who were going to receive his daughters, and he said: “Rise up. Depart from this place. For the Lord will destroy this city.” And it seemed to them that he was speaking playfully.

14. Iziðe Lot da to kaže svojima buduæim zetovima koji namjeravahu uzeti njegove kæeri te reèe: "Na noge! Odlazite iz ovog mjesta jer æe Jahve uništiti grad!" Ali je u oèima svojih buduæih zetova ispao kao da zbija šalu.

15. And when it was morning, the Angels compelled him, saying, “Arise, take your wife, and the two daughters that you have, lest you also should perish amid the wickedness of the city.”

15. Kako zora puèe, anðeli navale na Lota govoreæi: "Na noge! Uzmi svoju ženu i svoje dvije kæeri koje su ovdje da ne budeš zatrt kaznom grada!"

16. And, since he ignored them, they took his hand, and the hand of his wife, as well as that of his two daughters, because the Lord was sparing him.

16. Ali on oklijevaše. Zato ga oni uzeše za ruku, a tako i njegovu ženu i njegove dvije kæeri i - po smilovanju Jahvinu nad njim - odvedoše ih i ostaviše izvan grada.

17. And they brought him out, and placed him beyond the city. And there they spoke to him, saying: “Save your life. Do not look not back. Neither should you stay in the entire surrounding region. But save yourself in the mountain, lest you also should perish.”

17. Kad ih izvedoše u polje, jedan progovori: "Bježi da život spasiš! Ne obaziri se niti se igdje u ravnici zaustavljaj! Bježi u brdo da ne budeš zatrt!"

18. And Lot said to them: “I beg you, my lord,

18. Ali Lot odvrati: "Nemoj, gospodine!

19. though your servant has found grace before you, and you have magnified your mercy, which you have shown to me in saving my life, I cannot be saved on the mountain, lest perhaps some misfortune take hold of me and I die.

19. Nego ako je tvoj sluga našao milost u tvojim oèima - a toliko milosrðe veæ si mi iskazao spasivši mi život - ja ne mogu pobjeæi u brdo a da me nesreæa ne snaðe i ne poginem.

20. There is a certain city nearby, to which I can flee; it is a little one, and I will be saved in it. Is it not a modest one, and will not my soul live?”

20. Eno onamo grada; dosta je blizu da u nj pobjegnem, a mjesto je tako malo. Daj da onamo bježim - mjesto je zbilja maleno - daj da život spasim!"

21. And he said to him: “Behold, even now, I have heard your petitions about this, not to overturn the city on behalf of which you have spoken.

21. Odgovori mu: "Uslišat æu ti i tu molbu i neæu zatrti grada o kojemu govoriš.

22. Hurry and be saved there. For I cannot do anything until you enter there.” For this reason, the name of that city is called Zoar.

22. Brzo! Bježi onamo, jer ne mogu ništa èiniti dok ti onamo ne stigneš." Zato se onaj grad zove Soar.

23. The sun had risen over the land, and Lot had entered into Zoar.

23. Kako je sunce na zemlju izlazilo i Lot ulazio u Soar,

24. Therefore, the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah sulphur and fire, from the Lord, out of heaven.

24. Jahve zapljušti s neba na Sodomu i Gomoru sumpornim ognjem

25. And he overturned these cities, and all the surrounding region: all the inhabitants of the cities, and everything that springs from the land.

25. i uništi one gradove i svu onu ravnicu, sve žitelje gradske i sve raslinstvo na zemlji.

26. And his wife, looking behind herself, was turned into a statue of salt.

26. A Lotova se žena obazre i pretvori se u stup soli.

27. Then Abraham, rising up in the morning, in the place where he had stood before with the Lord,

27. Sutradan u rano jutro Abraham se požuri na mjesto gdje je stajao pred Jahvom,

28. looked out toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and the entire land of that region. And he saw embers rising up from the land like smoke from a furnace.

28. upravi pogled prema Sodomi i Gomori i svoj ravnici u daljini: i vidje kako se diže dim nad zemljom kao dim kakve klaèine.

29. For when God overthrew the cities of that region, remembering Abraham, he freed Lot from the overthrow of the cities, in which he had dwelt.

29. Tako se Bog, dok je zatirao gradove u ravnici u kojima je Lot boravio, sjetio Abrahama i uklonio Lota ispred propasti.

30. And Lot ascended from Zoar, and he stayed on the mountain, and likewise his two daughters with him, (for he was afraid to stay in Zoar) and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters with him.

30. Lot se bojao boraviti u Soaru, pa sa svoje dvije kæeri ode gore iz Soara i nastani se u brdu. On i njegove dvije kæeri živjeli su u peæini.

31. And the elder said to the younger: “Our father is old, and no man remains in the land who can enter to us according to the custom of the whole world.

31. Starija reèe mlaðoj: "Otac nam ostarje, a muža na zemlji nema da bude s nama, kako je obièaj po svem svijetu.

32. Come, let us inebriate him with wine, and let us sleep with him, so that we may be able to preserve offspring from our father.”

32. Hajdemo oca opiti vinom, pa s njime leæi: tako æemo s ocem saèuvati potomstvo."

33. And so they gave their father wine to drink that night. And the elder went in, and she slept with her father. But he did not perceive it, neither when his daughter lay down, nor when she rose up.

33. One noæi opiju oca vinom, i starija ode te legne sa svojim ocem, a on nije znao kad je legla ni kad je ustala.

34. Likewise, the next day, the elder said to the younger: “Behold, yesterday I slept with my father, let us give him wine to drink yet again this night, and you will sleep with him, so that we may save offspring from our father.”

34. Sutradan starija reèe mlaðoj: "Sinoæ sam, eto, ležala ja s našim ocem; napojimo ga vinom i noæas, pa idi ti i s njim lezi: tako æemo ocu saèuvati potomstvo."

35. And then they gave their father wine to drink that night also, and the younger daughter went in, and slept with him. And not even then did he perceive when she lay down, or when she rose up.

35. Opiju oca vinom i one noæi te mlaða ode i s njim legne, a on nije znao kad je legla ni kad je ustala.

36. Therefore, the two daughters of Lot conceived by their father.

36. Tako obje Lotove kæeri zanesu s ocem.

37. And the elder gave birth to a son, and she called his name Moab. He is the father of the Moabites, even to the present day.

37. Starija rodi sina i nadjenu mu ime Moab. On je praotac današnjih Moabaca.

38. Likewise, the younger gave birth to a son, and she called his name Ammon, that is, ‘the son of my people.’ He is the father of the Ammonites, even today.

38. I mlaða rodi sina i nadjene mu ime Ben-Ami. On je praotac današnjih Amonaca.
