所多玛的罪恶
两个天使在傍晚到了所多玛，罗得正坐在所多玛的城门口。罗得一看见，就起身迎接他们，脸伏于地下拜，
And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
2说：“看哪，我主，请你们转到仆人家里过夜，洗你们的脚，清早起来再上路。”他们说：“不！我们要在广场上过夜。”And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
3罗得恳切地请他们，他们就转向他，进到他屋里。罗得为他们预备宴席，烤无酵饼，他们就吃了。And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
4他们还没有躺下，所多玛城的人，连老带少所有的人，个个都来围住那屋子。But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
5他们呼叫罗得，对他说：“今天晚上到你这里来的人在哪里？把他们带出来，让我们亲近他们。”And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
6罗得出了门，把身后的门关上，到众人那里，And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
7说：“我的弟兄们，请你们不要做这恶事。And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
8看哪，我有两个女儿，还没有亲近过男人，让我领她们出来给你们，就照你们看为好的对待她们吧！只是这两个人既然到我舍下，请不要向他们做这事。”Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
9众人说：“站到一边去吧！”又说：“这个人来寄居，还想扮审判官呢！现在我们要害你比害他们更厉害。”众人就往前冲向罗得，要攻破大门。And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
10那两个人伸出手来，把罗得拉进屋子他们那里，就关上门。But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
11他们击打门外的人，无论老少，都眼睛迷糊，找门找得很烦躁。And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
罗得离开所多玛
12那两个人对罗得说：“你这里还有什么人吗？无论是女婿，是儿女，这城中所有属你的人，你都要把他们从这地方带出去。And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
13我们要毁灭这地方，因为控告城内百姓的声音在耶和华面前非常大，耶和华派我们来毁灭这城。”For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
14罗得出去，告诉娶了☛“娶了”或译“将要娶”。他女儿的女婿们说：“起来，离开这地方，因为耶和华要毁灭这城。”他的女婿们却以为他说的是笑话。And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
15天亮了，天使催逼罗得说：“起来！带着你的妻子和你这里的两个女儿出去，免得你因这城的罪孽同被剿灭。”And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
16但罗得迟延不走。二人因为耶和华怜悯罗得，就拉着他的手和他妻子的手，以及他两个女儿的手，把他们领出来，安置在城外；And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
17领他们出来以后，就说：“逃命吧！不可回头看，也不可在平原站住。要往山上逃跑，免得你被剿灭。”And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
18罗得对他们说：“我主啊，不要这样！And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my LORD:
19看哪，你仆人已经在你眼前蒙恩，你又向我大施慈爱，救我的性命。但是我不能逃到山上去，恐怕这灾祸追上我，我就死了。Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
20看哪，这城又近又小，比较容易逃到那里。这不是一座小城吗？求你容我逃到那里，使我的性命可以存活。”Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
21天使对他说：“看哪，这事我也应允你，不倾覆你所说的这城。And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
22你要赶快逃到那城，因为你还没有到那里，我不能做什么。”因此那城名叫琐珥 ☛“琐珥”意思是“小”。。Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
所多玛蛾摩拉的毁灭
23罗得到了琐珥，太阳已经升出地面。The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
24当时，耶和华把硫磺与火，从天上耶和华那里降与所多玛和蛾摩拉，Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
25把那些城和全平原，城里所有的居民和土地上生长的，都毁灭了。And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26罗得的妻子在他后边回头一看，就变成了一根盐柱。But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27亚伯拉罕清早起来，到了他先前站在耶和华面前的地方，And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:
28面向所多玛和蛾摩拉，以及平原全地观望。他观看，看哪，那地有浓烟上腾，好像烧窑的浓烟。And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
29当神毁灭平原诸城的时候，他记念亚伯拉罕；在倾覆罗得所住之城的时候，就把罗得从倾覆中带出来。And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
摩押人和亚扪人的起源
30罗得因为怕住在琐珥，就同他两个女儿从琐珥上去，住在山上。他和两个女儿住在一个洞里。And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
31大女儿对小女儿说：“我们的父亲老了，这地又没有男人可以照世上的礼俗来与我们结合。And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
32来！我们叫父亲喝酒，然后与他同寝。这样，我们可以从我们的父亲存留后裔。”Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
33于是，那晚她们叫父亲喝酒，大女儿就进去和她父亲同寝；她几时躺下，几时起来，父亲都不知道。And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34第二天，大女儿对小女儿说：“看哪，我昨夜与父亲同寝。今晚我们再叫他喝酒，你进去与他同寝。这样，我们可以从父亲存留后裔。”And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
35于是，那晚她们又叫父亲喝酒，小女儿起来与她父亲同寝；她几时躺下，几时起来，父亲都不知道。And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
36这样，罗得的两个女儿都从她们的父亲怀了孕。Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
37大女儿生了儿子，给他起名叫摩押，就是现今摩押人的始祖。And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
38小女儿也生了儿子，给他起名叫便．亚米，就是现今亚扪人的始祖。And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
