1	And there came .ij. angells to Sodome at euen. And Lot satt at the gate of the cyte. And Lot sawe the and rose vp agaynst them and he bowed hym selfe to he grounde with his face.	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	And he sayde: Se lordes turne in I praye you in to youre servauntes house and tary all nyghte and wash youre fete and ryse vp early and go on youre wayes. And they sayde: nay but we will byde in the streates all nyghte.	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 copelled them excedyngly. And they turned in vnto hym and entred in to his house and he made them a feaste and dyd bake swete cakes and they ate.	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 rest the men of the cyte of Sodome compassed the house rownde aboute both olde and yonge all the people from all quarters.	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 vnto Lot and sayde vnto him: where are the men which came in to thy house to nyghte? brynge the out unto vs that we may do oure lust 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 at doores vnto them and shote the dore 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 sayde: nay for goddes sake brethren do not so wekedly.	and said, “I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.	and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing.
8	Beholde I haue two doughters which haue knowne no man the will I brynge out vnto you: do with them as it semeth you good: Only vnto these men do nothynge for therfore came they vnder the shadowe of my rofe.	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 sayde: come hither. And they sayde: camest thou not in to sogeorne and wilt thou be now a iudge? we will suerly deale worse with the than with themAnd as they preased fore vppon Lot and beganne to breake vp the doore	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	the men put forth their handes and pulled Lot in to the house to them and shott to the doore.	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 the men that were at the doore of the house they smote with blyndnesse both small and greate: so that they coude not fynde the doore.	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 sayde moreover vnto Lot: Yf thou have yet here any sonne in lawe or sonnes or doughters or what so euer thou hast in the cyte brynge it 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 must destroy this place because the crye of the is great before the LORde. Wherfore he hath sent vs 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 spake vnto his sonnes in lawe which shulde haue maried his doughters and sayde: stonde vpp and get yow out of this place for the LORde will destroy the cite. But he semed as though he had mocked vnto his sonnes 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	And as the mornynge arose the angells caused Lot to spede him saynge. Stonde vp take thy wyfe and thy two doughters and that that is at hande lest thou perish in the synne of the cyte.	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 as he prolonged the tyme the men caught both him his wife ad his two doughters by the handes because the LORde was mercyfull vnto him ad they brought him forth and sette him without the cyte.	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	When they had brought them out they sayde: Saue thy lyfe and loke not behynde the nether tary thou in any place of the contre but saue thy selfe in the mountayne lest thou perisshe.	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	Than sayde Lot vnto them: Oh nay my lorde:	And Lot said to them, “Oh, no, my lords.	But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please!
19	beholde in as moch as thy servaunte hath fownde grace in thy syghte now make thi mercy great which thou shewest vnto me in savinge my lyfe. For I can not saue my selfe in the mountayns lest some misfortune fall vpon me and I dye.	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	Beholde here is a cyte by to flee vnto and it is a lytle one: let me saue my selfe therein: is it not a litle one that my soule may lyue?	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 sayde to him: se I haue receaved thy request as concernynge this thynge that I will nott overthrowe this cytie for the 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	Haste the ad saue thy selfe there for I can do nothynge tyll thou be come in thyder. And therfore the name of the cyte is called Zoar.	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	And the sone was vppon the erth when Lot was entred in to Zoar.	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	Than the LORde rayned vpon Sodome and Gomorra brymstone and fyre from the LORde 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 overthrewe those cyteis and all the region and all that dwelled in the cytes and that that grewe vpon the erth.	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 lots wyfe loked behynde her ad was turned in to a pillare of salte.	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	Abraham rose vp early and got him to the place where he stode before the LORde	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 loked toward Sodome and Gomorra and toward all the londe of that contre. And as he loked: beholde the smoke of the contre arose as it had bene the smoke of a fornace.	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	But yet whe God destroyed the cities of ye regio he thought a pon Abraha: and sent Lot out from the dager of the overthrowenge when he overthrewe the cyttes where Lot dwelled.	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 departed out of Zoar and dwelled in the mountayns ad his .ij. doughters with him for he feared to tary in Zoar: he dweld therfore in a caue both he and his .ij. doughters also.	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	Than sayde the elder vnto the yonger oure father is olde and there are no moo men in the erth to come in vnto vs after the maner of all the world.	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 therfore let vs geue oure father wyne to dryncke and let vs lye with him that we may saue seed of oure 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	And they gaue their father wyne to drynke that same nyghte. And the elder doughter went and laye with her father. And he perceaued it not nether when she laye doune nether when she rose vp.	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 on the morowe the elder sayde vnto the yonger: beholde yesternyghte laye I with my father. Let us geue hym wyne to dri nke this nyghte also and goo thou and lye with him and let us saue seed of oure 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	And they gaue their father wyne to drincke that nyghte also. And the yonger arose and laye with him. And he perceaved it not: nether when she laye downe nether when she rose vp.	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	Thus were both the doughters of lot with childe 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 bare a sone and called hym Moab which is the father of the Moabytes vnto this daye.	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 yonger bare a sonne and called hym Ben Ammi which is the father of the childern of Ammon vnto this daye.	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.
