1 Al anochecer, los dos ángeles llegaron a Sodoma. Lot estaba sentado a la entrada de la ciudad. Cuando los vio, se levantó para recibirlos y se inclinó rostro en tierra.
1 The two angels came to Sodom at evening. Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them. He bowed himself with his face to the earth,
2 Les dijo: «Señores míos, vengan a la casa de su siervo. Pasen allí la noche y lávense los pies. Mañana temprano podrán seguir su camino». Ellos respondieron: «No. Pasaremos la noche en la calle».
2 and he said, “See now, my lords, please come into your servant’s house, stay all night, wash your feet, and you can rise up early, and go on your way.” They said, “No, but we will stay in the street all night.”
3 Pero Lot insistió mucho, y ellos fueron con él a su casa. Lot les preparó una comida y horneó pan sin levadura, y ellos comieron.
3 He urged them greatly, and they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
4 Antes de que se acostaran, todos los hombres de Sodoma, jóvenes y ancianos, de todas partes de la ciudad, rodearon la casa.
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.
5 Llamaron a Lot y le dijeron: «¿Dónde están los hombres que vinieron a tu casa esta noche? Sácalos para que tengamos relaciones sexuales con ellos».
5 They called 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 sex with them.”
6 Lot salió a hablar con ellos y cerró la puerta detrás de sí.
6 Lot went out to them through the door, and shut the door after himself.
7 Les dijo: «Hermanos míos, no hagan algo tan malo.
7 He said, “Please, my brothers, don’t act so wickedly.
8 Tengo dos hijas que nunca han estado con un hombre. Se las sacaré y podrán hacer con ellas lo que quieran. Pero no hagan nada a estos hombres, porque han venido bajo la protección de mi techo».
8 See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them what seems good to you. Only don’t do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof.”
9 Ellos respondieron: «¡Hazte a un lado!». Y decían: «Este hombre vino aquí como extranjero, ¿y ahora quiere ser nuestro juez? Te haremos algo peor a ti que a ellos». Entonces empujaron con fuerza a Lot y se acercaron para derribar la puerta.
9 They said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now we will deal worse with you than with them!” They pressed hard on the man Lot, and came near to break the door.
10 Pero los hombres extendieron las manos, metieron a Lot dentro de la casa y cerraron la puerta.
10 But the men reached out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
11 Luego dejaron ciegos a los hombres que estaban afuera, desde el menor hasta el mayor, de modo que se cansaron de buscar la puerta.
11 They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
12 Los hombres dijeron a Lot: «¿Tienes aquí a otros miembros de tu familia? Saca de este lugar a tus yernos, hijos, hijas y a todos los tuyos.
12 The men said to Lot, “Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place:
13 Vamos a destruir este lugar, porque el clamor contra sus habitantes ha llegado a ser muy grande delante del Señor. El Señor nos ha enviado a destruir la ciudad».
13 for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown so great before Yahweh that Yahweh has sent us to destroy it.”
14 Lot salió y habló con sus yernos, que estaban casados con sus hijas. Les dijo: «Levántense y salgan de este lugar, porque el Señor está a punto de destruir la ciudad». Pero sus yernos pensaron que estaba bromeando.
14 Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, “Get up! Get out of this place, for Yahweh will destroy the city!” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.
15 Al amanecer, los ángeles apuraron a Lot y le dijeron: «Levántate. Toma a tu mujer y a tus dos hijas que están aquí, para que no mueran en el castigo de la ciudad».
15 When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, “Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city.”
16 Como Lot tardaba, los hombres lo tomaron de la mano, junto con su mujer y sus dos hijas, porque el Señor tuvo misericordia de ellos. Los sacaron y los dejaron fuera de la ciudad.
16 But he lingered; and the men grabbed his hand, his wife’s hand, and his two daughters’ hands, Yahweh being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.
17 Cuando estuvieron fuera, uno de ellos dijo: «¡Huyan para salvar la vida! No miren atrás ni se detengan en la llanura. Huyan a las montañas para no morir».
17 It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, “Escape for your life! Don’t look behind you, and don’t stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be consumed!”
18 Pero Lot les dijo: «¡No, Señor mío!
18 Lot said to them, “Oh, not so, my lord.
19 Tu siervo ha encontrado favor ante ti, y has mostrado gran misericordia al salvarme la vida. Pero no podré llegar a las montañas antes de que el desastre me alcance y muera.
19 See now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your loving kindness, which you have shown to me in saving my life. I can’t escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die.
20 Mira, hay una pequeña ciudad cerca. Déjame huir allí. Es una ciudad pequeña, y así podré salvar la vida».
20 See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (isn’t it a little one?), and my soul will live.”
21 Él respondió: «También te concedo esta petición. No destruiré la ciudad de la que hablas.
21 He said to him, “Behold, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.
22 Apresúrate y huye allí, porque no puedo hacer nada hasta que llegues». Por eso la ciudad fue llamada Zoar.
22 Hurry, escape there, for I can’t do anything until you get there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23 El sol ya había salido cuando Lot llegó a Zoar.
23 The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
24 Entonces el Señor hizo llover desde el cielo fuego y humo ardiente sobre Sodoma y Gomorra.
24 Then Yahweh rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from Yahweh out of the sky.
25 Destruyó aquellas ciudades, toda la llanura, todos sus habitantes y toda la vegetación de la tierra.
25 He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.
26 Pero la mujer de Lot miró hacia atrás y se convirtió en una columna de sal.
26 But Lot’s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 Abraham se levantó temprano por la mañana y fue al lugar donde había estado delante del Señor.
27 Abraham went up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Yahweh.
28 Miró hacia Sodoma y Gomorra y hacia toda la llanura, y vio que de la tierra subía humo como el humo de un horno.
28 He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.
29 Cuando Dios destruyó las ciudades de la llanura, cumplió su palabra a Abraham y sacó a Lot de la destrucción que cayó sobre las ciudades donde había vivido.
29 When God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.
30 Lot salió de Zoar y fue a vivir a las montañas con sus dos hijas, porque tenía miedo de quedarse en Zoar. Él y sus hijas vivieron en una cueva.
30 Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters.
31 La hija mayor dijo a la menor: «Nuestro padre ya es viejo, y no hay aquí ningún hombre con quien podamos formar una familia como es natural.
31 The firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man on the earth to come in to us in the way of all the earth.
32 Vamos, hagamos que nuestro padre beba mucho vino y acostémonos con él para tener descendencia de nuestro padre».
32 Come, let’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”
33 Aquella noche hicieron que su padre bebiera mucho vino. La hija mayor se acostó con él, pero Lot no supo cuándo ella se acostó ni cuándo se levantó.
33 They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34 Al día siguiente, la hija mayor dijo a la menor: «Anoche me acosté con mi padre. Hagamos que vuelva a beber mucho vino esta noche, y acuéstate tú con él para que podamos tener descendencia de nuestro padre».
34 It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let’s make him drink wine again tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”
35 Esa noche hicieron otra vez que su padre bebiera mucho vino. La hija menor se acostó con él, pero Lot no supo cuándo ella se acostó ni cuándo se levantó.
35 They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she got up.
36 Así las dos hijas de Lot quedaron embarazadas de su padre.
36 Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father.
37 La hija mayor tuvo un hijo y lo llamó Moab. Él es el padre de los moabitas hasta hoy.
37 The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.
38 La hija menor también tuvo un hijo y lo llamó Ben-ammi. De él vienen los amonitas hasta hoy.
38 The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. He is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And again, referring to the destruction of the Sodomites, the Scripture says, "Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah fire and brimstone from the Lord out of heaven." For it here points out that the Son, who had also been talking with Abraham, had received power to judge the Sodomites for their wickedness.
For after saying to them in the plural, "Behold, my lords, turn aside into your servant's house," etc., yet it is afterwards said, "And the angels laid hold upon his hand, and the hand of his wife, and the hands of his two daughters, because the Lord was merciful unto him.

As says the Scripture: "And that night the elder went in and lay with her father; and Lot knew not when she lay down, nor when she arose." And the same thing took place in the case of the younger: "And he knew not," it is said, "when she slept with him, nor when she arose." Since, therefore, Lot knew …
And Lot said unto them, I pray thee, Lord, since thy servant hath found grace in thy sight," etc.
