猶太人創世紀第十九章
Genesis 19
The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah
19:1 The two angels came to Sodom in the evening while
Lot was sitting in the city’s gateway. When Lot saw them,
he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face toward
the ground.
19:2 He said, “Here, my lords, please turn aside to your
servant’s house. Stay the night and wash your feet. Then you
can be on your way early in the morning.” “No,” they replied,
“we’ll spend the night in the town square.”
19:3 But he urged6 them persistently, so they turned aside
with him and entered his house. He prepared a feast for them,
including bread baked without yeast, and they ate.
19:4 Before they could lie down to sleep, all the men—both young
and old, from every part of the city of Sodom—surrounded the house.
19:5 They shouted to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight?
Bring them out to us so we can have sex with them!”
19:6 Lot went outside to them, shutting the door behind him.
19:7 He said, “No, my brothers! Don’t act so wickedly!11
19:8 Look, I have two daughters who have never had sexual
relations with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you
can do to them whatever you please. Only don’t do anything
to these men, for they have come under the protection14 of my roof.”
19:9 “Out of our way!” they cried, and “This man came to live
here as a foreigner,17 and now he dares to judge us! We’ll do
more harm to you than to them!” They kept pressing in on Lot
until they were close enough to break down the door.
19:10 So the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into
the house as they shut the door.
19:11 Then they struck the men who were at the door of the
house, from the youngest to the oldest, with blindness.
The men outside wore themselves out trying to find the door.
19:12 Then the two visitors said to Lot, “Who else do you have
here? Do you have any sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or other
relatives in the city? Get them out of this place
19:13 because we are about to destroy it. The outcry against
this place is so great before the Lord that he has sent us to destroy it.”
19:14 Then Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law who were going
to marry his daughters. He said, “Quick, get out of this place because
the Lord is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law
thought he was ridiculing them.
19:15 At dawn the angels hurried Lot along, saying, “Get going!
Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or else you will
be destroyed when the city is judged!”
19:16 When Lot hesitated, the men grabbed his hand and the hands of
his wife and two daughters because the Lord had compassion on them.
They led them away and placed them outside the city.
19:17 When they had brought them outside, they said, “Run for your lives!
Don’t look behind you or stop anywhere in the valley! Escape to
the mountains or you will be destroyed!”
19:18 But Lot said to them, “No, please, Lord!
19:19 Your servant has found favor with you, and you have shown me great
kindness by sparing my life. But I am not able to escape to the mountains
because this disaster will overtake me and I’ll die.
19:20 Look, this town over here is close enough to escape to, and it’s
just a little one. Let me go there. It’s just a little place, isn’t
it? Then I’ll survive.”
19:21 “Very well,” he replied, “I will grant this request too and
will not overthrow the town you mentioned.
19:22 Run there quickly, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there.”
(This incident explains why the town was called Zoar.)
19:23 The sun had just risen over the land as Lot reached Zoar.
19:24 Then the Lord rained down sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah.
It was sent down from the sky by the Lord.
19:25 So he overthrew those cities and all that region, including all t
he inhabitants of the cities and the vegetation that grew from the ground.
19:26 But Lot’s wife looked back longingly and was turned into a pillar of salt.
19:27 Abraham got up early in the morning and went to the place where he
had stood before the Lord.
19:28 He looked out toward Sodom and Gomorrah and all the land of that region.
As he did so, he saw the smoke rising up from the land like smoke from a furnace.
19:29 So when God destroyed the cities of the region, God honored Abraham’s
request. He removed Lot from the midst of the destruction when he destroyed
the cities Lot had lived in.
19:30 Lot went up from Zoar with his two daughters and settled in the mountains
because he was afraid to live in Zoar. So he lived in a cave with his two daughters.
19:31 Later the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and
there is no man anywhere nearby to have sexual relations with us, according to
the way of all the world.
19:32 Come, let’s make our father drunk with wine so we can have sexual relations
with him and preserve our family line through our father.”
19:33 So that night they made their father drunk with wine, and the older daughter
came and had sexual relations with her father. But he was not aware that she
had sexual relations with him and then got up.
19:34 Then in the morning the older daughter said to the younger, “Since I had
sexual relations with my father last night, let’s make him drunk again tonight.
Then you go and have sexual relations with him so we can preserve our family line
through our father.”
19:35 So they made their father drunk that night as well, and the younger came
and had sexual relations with him. But he was not aware that she had sexual
relations with him and then got up.
19:36 In this way both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.
19:37 The older daughter gave birth to a son and named him Moab. He is the
ancestor of the Moabites of today.
19:38 The younger daughter also gave birth to a son and named him Ben-Ammi.
He is the ancestor of the Ammonites of today.
