創世記 第 19 章

And the two angels came to Sodom at evening; and Lot was sitting by the gate of Sodom. And when Lot saw them, he rose up to meet them, and did obeisance with his face to the ground.

And he said, Behold, my lords, turn aside to the house of your servant, and lodge, and wash your feet; and rising early you shall go on your way. But they said, No, but we will lodge in the street.

And he pressed them hard, and they turned aside to him and entered his house; and he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread for them, and they ate.

Before they lay down, the men of the city, the Sodomites, surrounded the house, from young man to old man, the whole people together.

And they called out 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 intercourse with them.

And Lot went out to them to the porch, and shut the door behind him.

And he said to them, By no means, brothers, do not act wickedly.

But I have two daughters who have not known a man; I will bring them out to you, and use them as it pleases you; only do nothing unjust to these men, since they have come under the shelter of my beams.

And they said, Stand back there. You came alone to sojourn — shall you also judge judgement? Now then we will treat you worse than them. And they pressed hard upon the man Lot, and drew near to break the door.

But the men stretched out their hands and pulled Lot in to themselves into the house, and shut the door of the house.

And they struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, from small to great, and they were wearied seeking the door.

And the men said to Lot, Have you any one here — sons-in-law, or sons, or daughters, or if you have any other in the city? Bring them out of this place.

For we are destroying this place, because their cry has risen up before the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to wipe it out.

So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law who had taken his daughters, and said, Rise up and go out of this place, for the Lord is wiping out the city. But he seemed to be jesting before his sons-in-law.

And when dawn was breaking, the angels urged Lot, saying, Rise up, take your wife and your two daughters whom you have, and go out, lest you also perish with the lawlessness of the city.

And they were troubled; and the angels took hold of his hand and the hand of his wife and the hands of his two daughters, because the Lord spared him.

And it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that they said, Save your own life; do not look back, nor stop anywhere in the surrounding country; escape to the mountain, lest you be swept away with them.

And Lot said to them, I beseech you, Lord.

Since your servant has found mercy before you, and you have magnified your righteousness which you show toward me in keeping my soul alive; but I shall not be able to escape to the mountain, lest the evils overtake me and I die.

Behold, this city is near for me to flee to, and it is small; there I shall be saved. Is it not small? And my soul shall live.

And he said to him, Behold, I have admired your face in this matter also, not to overthrow the city of which you have spoken.

Hurry therefore to be saved there, for I shall not be able to do anything until you come there. Therefore he called the name of that city Segor.

The sun went forth upon the earth, and Lot entered into Segor.

And the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorra brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.

And he overthrew these cities and all the surrounding country, and all the inhabitants in the cities, and all that springs up out of the earth.

And his wife looked back, and became a pillar of salt.

And Abraam rose early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the Lord.

And he looked down upon the face of Sodom and Gomorra and upon the face of the surrounding land, and he looked, and behold, a flame went up from the earth like the vapour of a furnace.

And it came to pass, when the Lord wiped out all the cities of the surrounding country, that God remembered Abraam, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when the Lord overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt.

And Lot went up out of Segor and settled in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to dwell in Segor. And he dwelt in the cave, he and his two daughters with him.

And the elder said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is no one on the earth who will come in to us, as is fitting for all the earth.

Come, let us give our father wine to drink, and let us lie with him, and raise up offspring from our father.

So they gave their father wine to drink that night, and the elder went in and lay with her father that night; and he did not know when she lay down or when she rose.

And it came to pass on the next day that the elder said to the younger, Behold, yesterday I lay with our father; let us give him wine to drink this night also, and go in and lie with him, and raise up offspring from our father.

So that night also they gave their father wine to drink, and the younger went in and lay with her father; and he did not know when she lay down or when she rose.

And the two daughters of Lot conceived by their father.

And the elder bore a son and called his name Moab, saying, From my father. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.

And the younger also bore a son and called his name Amman, Son of my kindred. He is the father of the Ammanites to this day.
