1	And the two angels came to Sodom at evening. And Lot sat by the gate of Sodom, and Lot having seen them, rose up to meet them, and he worshipped with his face to the ground, and said,	The two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed himself with his face to the earth	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	Lo! my lords, turn aside to the house of your servant, and rest from your journey, and wash your feet, and having risen early in the morning ye shall depart on your journey. And they said, Nay, but we will lodge in the street.	and said, “My lords, please turn aside to your servant’s house and spend the night and wash your feet. Then you may rise up early and go on your way.” They said, “No; we will spend the night in the town square.”	“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	And he constrained them, and they turned aside to him, and they entered into his house, and he made a feast for them, and baked unleavened cakes for them, and they did eat.	But he pressed them strongly; so they turned aside to him and entered his house. And he made them a feast and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.	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	But before they went to sleep, the men of the city, the Sodomites, compassed the house, both young and old, all the people together.	But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house.	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	And they called out Lot, and said to him, Where are the men that went in to thee this night? bring them out to us that we may be with them.	And they called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.”	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	And Lot went out to them to the porch, and he shut the door after him,	Lot went out to the men at the entrance, shut the door after him,	Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7	and said to them, By no means, brethren, do not act villanously.	and said, “I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.	and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing.
8	But I have two daughters, who have not known a man. I will bring them out to you, and do ye use them as it may please you, only do not injury to these men, to avoid which they came under the shelter of my roof.	Behold, I have two daughters who have not known any man. Let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you please. Only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof.”	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	And they said to him, Stand back there, thou camest in to sojourn, was it also to judge? Now then we would harm thee more than them. And they pressed hard on the man, even Lot, and they drew nigh to break the door.	But they said, “Stand back!” And they said, “This fellow came to sojourn, and he has become the judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them.” Then they pressed hard against the man Lot, and drew near to break the door down.	“Get out of our way,” they replied. “This fellow came here as a foreigner, 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	And the men stretched forth their hands and drew Lot in to them into the house, and shut the door of the house.	But the men reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them and shut the door.	But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door.
11	And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, and they were wearied with seeking the door.	And they struck with blindness the men who were at the entrance of the house, both small and great, so that they wore themselves out groping for the door.	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	And the men said to Lot, Hast thou here sons-in-law, or sons or daughters, or if thou hast any other friend in the city, bring them out of this place.	Then the men said to Lot, “Have you anyone else here? Sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or anyone you have in the city, bring them out of the place.	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	For we are going to destroy this place; for their cry has been raised up before the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it.	For we are about to destroy this place, because the outcry against its people has become great before the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it.”	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	And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law who had married his daughters, and said, Rise up, and depart out of this place, for the Lord is about to destroy the city; but he seemed to be speaking absurdly before his sons-in-law.	So Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, “Up! Get out of this place, for the LORD is about to destroy the city.” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting.	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	But when it was morning, the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise and take thy wife, and thy two daughters whom thou hast, and go forth; lest thou also be destroyed with the iniquities of the city.	As morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city.”	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	And they were troubled, and the angels laid hold on his hand, and the hand of his wife, and the hands of his two daughters, in that the Lord spared him.	But he lingered. So the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the LORD being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city.	When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them.
17	And it came to pass when they brought them out, that they said, Save thine own life by all means; look not round to that which is behind, nor stay in all the country round about, escape to the mountain, lest perhaps thou be overtaken together with them.	And as they brought them out, one said, “Escape for your life. Do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley. Escape to the hills, lest you be swept away.”	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	And Lot said to them, I pray, Lord,	And Lot said to them, “Oh, no, my lords.	But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please!
19	since thy servant has found mercy before thee, and thou hast magnified thy righteousness, in what thou doest towards me that my soul may live, - but I shall not be able to escape to the mountain, lest perhaps the calamity overtake me and I die.	Behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life. But I cannot escape to the hills, lest the disaster overtake me and I die.	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	Behold this city is near for me to escape thither, which is a small one, and there shall I be preserved, is it not little? and my soul shall live because of thee.	Behold, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there—is it not a little one?—and my life will be saved!”	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	And he said to him, Behold, I have had respect to thee also about this thing, that I should not overthrow the city about which thou hast spoken.	He said to him, “Behold, I grant you this favor also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.	He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of.
22	Hasten therefore to escape thither, for I shall not be able to do anything until thou art come thither; therefore he called the name of that city, Segor.	Escape there quickly, for I can do nothing till you arrive there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.	But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.)
23	The sun was risen upon the earth, when Lot entered into Segor.	The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.	By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land.
24	And the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.	Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the LORD out of heaven.	Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens.
25	And he overthrew these cities, and all the country round about, and all that dwelt in the cities, and the plants springing out of the ground.	And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.	Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land.
26	And his wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.	But Lot’s wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.	But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
27	And Abraam rose up early to go to the place, where he had stood before the Lord.	And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD.	Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD.
28	And he looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha, and towards the surrounding country, and saw, and behold a flame went up from the earth, as the smoke of a furnace.	And he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the valley, and he looked and, behold, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace.	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	And it came to pass that when God destroyed all the cities of the region round about, God remembered Abraam, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when the Lord overthrew those cities in which Lot dwelt.	So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when he overthrew the cities in which Lot had lived.	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	And Lot went up out of Segor, and dwelt in the mountain, he and his two daughters with him, for he feared to dwell in Segor; and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters with him.	Now Lot went up out of Zoar and lived in the hills with his two daughters, for he was afraid to live in Zoar. So he lived in a cave with his two daughters.	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	And the elder said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is no one on the earth who shall come in to us, as it is fit in all the earth.	And the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth.	One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children—as is the custom all over the earth.
32	Come and let us make our father drink wine, and let us sleep with him, and let us raise up seed from our father.	Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father.”	Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.”
33	So they made their father drink wine in that night, and the elder went in and lay with her father that night, and he knew not when he slept and when he rose up.	So they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in and lay with her father. He did not know when she lay down or when she arose.	That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.
34	And it came to pass on the morrow, that the elder said to the younger, Behold, I slept yesternight with our father, let us make him drink wine in this night also, and do thou go in and sleep with him, and let us raise up seed of our father.	The next day, the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine tonight also. Then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father.”	The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I slept with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.”
35	So they made their father drink wine in that night also, and the younger went in and slept with her father, and he knew not when he slept, nor when he arose.	So they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.	So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.
36	And the two daughters of Lot conceived by their father.	Thus both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father.	So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.
37	And the elder bore a son and called his name Moab, saying, He is of my father. This is the father of the Moabites to this present day.	The firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.	The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today.
38	And the younger also bore a son, and called his name Amman, saying, The son of my family. This is the father of the Ammanites to this present day.	The younger also bore a son and called his name Ben-ammi. He is the father of the Ammonites to this day.	The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today.
