WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Ἦλθον δε οἱ δύο ἄγγελοι εἰς Σόδομα ἑσπέρας. Λὼτ δὲ ἐκάθητο παρὰ τὴν πύλην Σοδόμων· ἰδὸν δὲ Λὼτ, ἐξανέστη εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῖς, καὶ προσεκύνησε τῷ προσώπῳ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
1 LLEGARON, pues, los dos ángeles á Sodoma á la caída de la tarde: y Lot estaba sentado á la puerta de Sodoma. Y viéndolos Lot, levantóse á recibirlos, é inclinóse hacia el suelo;
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 Καὶ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ, Κύριοι, ἐκκλίνατε εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ παιδὸς ὑμῶν, καὶ καταλύσατε, καὶ νίψασθε τοὺς πόδας ὑμῶν, καὶ ὀρθρίσαντες ἀπελεύσεσθε εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν ὑμῶν. Καὶ εἶπαν, οὐχὶ, ἀλλʼ ἐν τῇ πλατείᾳ καταλύσομεν.
2 Y dijo: Ahora, pues, mis señores, os ruego que vengáis á casa de vuestro siervo y os hospedéis, y lavaréis vuestros pies: y por la mañana os levantaréis, y seguiréis vuestro camino. Y ellos respondieron: No, que en la plaza nos quedaremos esta noche.
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 Καὶ κατεβιάσατο αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἐξέκλιναν πρὸς αὐτὸν, καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτοῖς πότον, καὶ ἀζύμους ἔπεψεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἔφαγον.
3 Mas él porfió con ellos mucho, y se vinieron con él, y entraron en su casa; é hízoles banquete, y coció panes sin levadura, y 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 Πρὸ τοῦ κοιμηθῆναι δὲ, οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως, οἱ Σοδομῖται περιεκύκλωσαν τὴν οἰκίαν, ἀπὸ νεανίσκου ἕως πρεσβυτέρου, ἅπας ὁ λαὸς ἅμα.
4 Y antes que se acostasen, cercaron la casa los hombres de la ciudad, los varones de Sodoma, todo el pueblo junto, desde el más joven hasta el más viejo;
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 Καὶ ἐξεκαλοῦντο τὸν Λὼτ, καὶ ἔλεγον πρὸς αὐτὸν, ποῦ εἰσιν οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ εἰσελθόντες πρὸς σὲ τὴν νύκτα; ἐξάγαγε αὐτοὺς πρὸς ἡμᾶς, ἵνα συγγενώμεθα αὐτοῖς.
5 Y llamaron á Lot, y le dijeron: ¿Dónde están los varones que vinieron á ti esta noche? sácanoslos, para que los conozcamos.
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 Ἐξῆλθε δὲ Λὼτ πρὸς αὐτοὺς πρὸς τὸ πρόθυρον, τὴν δὲ θύραν προσέῳξεν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ.
6 Entonces Lot salió á ellos á la puerta, y cerró las puertas tras sí,
6 Lot went out to them through the door, and shut the door after himself.
7 Εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτοὺς, μηδαμῶς ἀδελφοὶ μὴ πονηρεύσησθε.
7 Y dijo: Os ruego, hermanos míos, que no hagáis tal maldad.
7 He said, “Please, my brothers, don’t act so wickedly.
8 Εἰσὶ δέ μοι δύο θυγατέρες, αἳ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ἄνδρα· ἐξάξω αὐτὰς πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ χρᾶσθε αὐταῖς καθὰ ἂν ἀρέσκοι ὑμῖν· μόνον εἰς τοὺς ἄνδρας τούτους μὴ ποιήσητε ἄδικον, οὗ εἵνεκεν εἰσῆλθον ὑπὸ τὴν σκέπην τῶν δοκῶν μου.
8 He aquí ahora yo tengo dos hijas que no han conocido varón; os las sacaré afuera, y haced de ellas como bien os pareciere: solamente á estos varones no hagáis nada, pues que vinieron á la sombra de mi tejado.
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 Εἶπαν δὲ αὐτῷ, ἀπόστα ἐκεῖ· εἰσῆλθες παροικεῖν, μὴ καὶ κρίσιν κρίνειν; νῦν οὖν σε κακώσωμεν μᾶλλον ἢ ἐκείνους. Καὶ παρεβιάζοντο τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν Λὼτ σφόδρα, καὶ ἤγγισαν συντρίψαι τὴν θύραν.
9 Y ellos respondieron: Quita allá: y añadieron: Vino éste aquí para habitar como un extraño, ¿y habrá de erigirse en juez? Ahora te haremos más mal que á ellos. Y hacían gran violencia al varón, á Lot, y se acercaron para romper las puertas.
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 Ἐκτείναντες δὲ οἱ ἄνδρες τὰς χεῖρας εἰσεσπάσαντο τὸν Λὼτ πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς εἰς τὸν οἶκον, καὶ τὴν θύραν τοῦ οἴκου ἀπέκλεισαν.
10 Entonces los varones alargaron la mano, y metieron á Lot en casa con ellos, y cerraron las puertas.
10 But the men reached out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
11 Τοὺς δὲ ἄνδρας τοὺς ὄντας ἐπὶ τῆς θύρας τοῦ οἴκου ἐπάταξαν ἐν ἀορασίᾳ ἀπὸ μικροῦ ἕως μεγάλου· καὶ παρελύθησαν ζητοῦντες τὴν θύραν.
11 Y á los hombres que estaban á la puerta de la casa desde el menor hasta el mayor, hirieron con ceguera; mas ellos se fatigaban por hallar 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 Εἶπαν δὲ οἱ ἄνδρες πρὸς τὸν Λὼτ, εἰσί σοι ὧδε γαμβροὶ, ἢ υἱοὶ, ἢ θυγατέρες; ἢ εἴτις σοι ἄλλος ἐστὶν ἐν τῇ πόλει, ἐξάγαγε ἐκ τοῦ τόπου τούτου,
12 Y dijeron los varones á Lot: ¿Tienes aquí alguno más? Yernos, y tus hijos y tus hijas, y todo lo que tienes en la ciudad, sáca[lo] de este lugar:
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 Ὅτι ἡμεῖς ἀπόλλυμεν τὸν τόπον τοῦτον· ὅτι ὑψώθη ἡ κραυγὴ αὐτῶν ἔναντι Κυρίου, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἡμᾶς Κύριος ἐκτρίψαι αὐτήν.
13 Porque vamos á destruir este lugar, por cuanto el clamor de ellos ha subido de punto delante de Jehová; por tanto Jehová nos ha enviado para destruirlo.
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 Ἐξῆλθε δὲ Λῶτ, καὶ ἐλάλησε πρὸς τοὺς γαμβροὺς αὐτοῦ τοὺς εἰληφότας τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν, ἀνάστητε, καὶ ἐξέλθετε ἐκ τοῦ τόπου τούτου, ὅτι ἐκτρίβει Κύριος τὴν πόλιν· ἔδοξε δὲ γελοιάζειν ἐναντίον τῶν γαμβρῶν αὐτοῦ.
14 Entonces salió Lot, y habló á sus yernos, los que habían de tomar sus hijas, y les dijo: Levantaos, salid de este lugar; porque Jehová va á destruir esta ciudad. Mas pareció á sus yernos como que se burlaba.
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 Ἡνίκα δὲ ὄρθρος ἐγένετο, ἐσπούδαζον οἱ ἄγγελοι τὸν Λὼτ, λέγοντες, ἀναστὰς λάβε τὴν γυναῖκά σου, καὶ τὰς δύο θυγατέρας σου, ἃς ἔχεις, καὶ ἔξελθε, ἵνα μὴ καὶ σὺ συναπόλῃ ταῖς ἀνομίαις τῆς πόλεως.
15 Y al rayar el alba, los ángeles daban prisa á Lot, diciendo: Levántate, toma tu mujer, y tus dos hijas que se hallan aquí, porque no perezcas 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 Καὶ ἐταράχθησαν, καὶ ἐκράτησαν οἱ ἄγγελοι τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῆς χειρὸς τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῶν χειρῶν τῶν δύο θυγατέρων αὐτοῦ, ἐν τῷ φείσασθαι Κύριον αὐτοῦ.
16 Y deteniéndose él, los varones asieron de su mano, y de la mano de su mujer, y de las manos de sus dos hijas, según la misericordia de Jehová para con él; y le sacaron, y le pusieron 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 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἐξήγαγον αὐτοὺς ἔξω, καὶ εἶπαν, σώζων σῶζε τὴν σεαυτοῦ ψυχήν· μὴ περιβλέψῃ εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, μηδὲ στῇς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ περιχώρῳ· εἰς τὸ ὄρος σώζου, μή ποτε συμπαραληφθῇς.
17 Y fué que cuando los hubo sacado fuera, dijo: Escapa por tu vida; no mires tras ti, ni pares en toda esta llanura; escapa al monte, no sea que perezcas.
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 Εἶπε δὲ Λὼτ πρὸς αὐτοὺς, δέομαι
18 Y Lot les dijo: No, yo os ruego, señores míos;
18 Lot said to them, “Oh, not so, my lord.
19 Κύριε, ἐπειδὴ εὗρεν ὁ παῖς σου ἔλεος ἐναντίον σου, καὶ ἐμεγάλυνας τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου, ὃ ποιεῖς ἐπʼ ἐμὲ, τοῦ ζῆν τὴν ψυχήν μου· ἐγὼ δὲ οὐ δυνήσομαι διασωθῆναι εἰς τὸ ὄρος, μή ποτε καταλάβῃ με τὰ κακὰ, καὶ ἀποθάνω.
19 He aquí ahora ha hallado tu siervo gracia en tus ojos, y has engrandecido tu misericordia que has hecho conmigo dándome la vida; mas yo no podré escapar al monte, no sea caso que me alcance el mal, 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 Ἰδοὺ πόλις αὕτη ἐγγὺς τοῦ καταφυγεῖν με ἐκεῖ, ἥ ἐστι μικρά· καὶ ἐκεῖ διασωθήσομαι· οὐ μικρά ἐστι; καὶ ζήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου ἕνεκέν σου.
20 He aquí ahora esta ciudad está cerca para huir allá, la cual es pequeña; escaparé ahora allá, (¿no es ella pequeña?) y vivirá mi alma.
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 Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ἰδοὺ ἐθαύμασά σου τὸ πρόσωπον καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ ῥήματι τούτῳ, τοῦ μὴ καταστρέψαι τὴν πόλιν περὶ ἧς ἐλάλησας.
21 Y le respondió: He aquí he recibido también tu súplica sobre esto, y no destruiré la ciudad de que has hablado.
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 Σπεῦσον οὖν τοῦ σωθῆναι ἐκεῖ, οὐ γὰρ δυνήσομαι ποιῆσαι πρᾶγμα, ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν σε ἐκεῖ. διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα τῆς πόλεως ἐκείνης, Σηγώρ.
22 Date priesa, escápate allá; porque nada podré hacer hasta que allí hayas llegado. Por esto fué llamado el nombre de la ciudad, 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 Ὁ ἥλιος ἐξῆλθεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ Λὼτ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς Σηγώρ.
23 El sol salía sobre la tierra, cuando Lot llegó á Zoar.
23 The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
24 Καὶ Κύριος ἔβρεξεν ἐπὶ Σόδομα καὶ Γόμοῤῥα θεῖον καὶ πῦρ παρὰ Κυρίου ἐξ οὐρανοῦ.
24 Entonces llovió Jehová sobre Sodoma y sobre Gomorra azufre y fuego de parte de Jehová desde los cielos;
24 Then Yahweh rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from Yahweh out of the sky.
25 Καὶ κατέστρεψε τὰς πόλεις ταύτας, καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν περίχωρον, καὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν ταῖς πόλεσι, καὶ τὰ ἀνατέλλοντα ἐκ τῆς γῆς.
25 Y destruyó las ciudades, y toda aquella llanura, con todos los moradores de aquellas ciudades, y el fruto 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 Καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, καὶ ἐγένετο στήλη ἁλός.
26 Entonces la mujer de Lot miró atrás, [á espaldas] de él, y se volvió estatua de sal.
26 But Lot’s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 Ὤρθρισε δὲ Ἁβραὰμ τῷ πρωῒ εἰς τὸν τόπον, οὗ εἱστήκει ἐναντίον Κυρίου.
27 Y subió Abraham por la mañana al lugar donde había estado delante de Jehová:
27 Abraham went up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Yahweh.
28 Καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον Σοδόμων καὶ Γομόῤῥας, καὶ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τῆς περιχώρου, καὶ εἶδε, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνέβαινεν φλὸξ ἐκ τῆς γῆς, ὡσεὶ ἀτμὶς καμίνου.
28 Y miró hacia Sodoma y Gomorra, y hacia toda la tierra de aquella llanura miró; y he aquí que el humo subía de la tierra 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 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐκτρίψαι τὸν Θεὸν πάσας τὰς πόλεις τῆς περιοίκου, ἐμνήσθη ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ Ἁβραάμ· καὶ ἐξαπέστειλε τὸν Λὼτ ἐκ μέσου τῆς καταστροφῆς, ἐν τῷ καταστρέψαι Κύριον τὰς πόλεις, ἐν αἷς κατῴκει ἐν αὐταῖς Λώτ.
29 Así fué que, cuando destruyó Dios las ciudades de la llanura, acordóse Dios de Abraham, y envió fuera á Lot de en medio de la destrucción, al asolar las ciudades donde Lot estaba.
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 Ἀνέβη δὲ Λὼτ ἐκ Σηγὼρ, καὶ ἐκάθητο ἐν τῷ ὄρει αὐτὸς, καὶ αἱ δύο θυγατέρες αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ· ἐφοβήθη γὰρ κατοικῆσαι ἐν Σηγώρ· καὶ κατῴκησεν ἐν τῷ σπηλαίῳ αὐτὸς, καὶ αἱ δύο θυγατέρες αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
30 Empero Lot subió de Zoar, y asentó en el monte, y sus dos hijas con él; porque tuvo miedo de quedar en Zoar, y se alojó en una cueva él y sus dos hijas.
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 Εἶπε δὲ ἡ πρεσβυτέρα πρὸς τὴν νεωτέραν, ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν πρεσβύτερος, καὶ οὐδείς ἐστιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ὃς εἰσελεύσεται πρὸς ἡμᾶς, ὡς καθήκει πάσῃ τῇ γῇ.
31 Entonces la mayor dijo á la menor: Nuestro padre es viejo, y no queda varón en la tierra que entre á nosotras conforme á la costumbre de toda la tierra:
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 Δεῦρο καὶ ποτίσωμεν τὸν πατέρα ἡμῶν οἶνον, καὶ κοιμηθῶμεν μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξαναστήσωμεν ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν σπέρμα.
32 Ven, demos á beber vino á nuestro padre, y durmamos con él, y conservaremos de nuestro padre generación.
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 Ἐπότισαν δὲ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν οἶνον ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ εἰσελθοῦσα ἡ πρεσβυτέρα ἐκοιμήθη μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ· καὶ οὐκ ᾔδει ἐν τῷ κοιμηθῆναι αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀναστῆναι.
33 Y dieron á beber vino á su padre aquella noche: y entró la mayor, y durmió con su padre; mas él no sintió cuándo se acostó ella, 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 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῇ ἐπαύριον, καὶ εἶπεν ἡ πρεσβυτέρα πρὸς τὴν νεωτέραν, ἰδοὺ ἐκοιμήθην χθὲς μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν· ποτίσωμεν αὐτὸν οἶνον καὶ ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ταύτῃ, καὶ εἰσελθοῦσα κοιμήθητι μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξαναστήσωμεν ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν σπέρμα.
34 El día siguiente dijo la mayor á la menor: He aquí yo dormí la noche pasada con mi padre; démosle á beber vino también esta noche, y entra y duerme con él, para que conservemos de nuestro padre generación.
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 Ἐπότισαν δὲ καὶ ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν οἶνον, καὶ εἰσελθοῦσα ἡ νεωτέρα ἐκοιμήθη μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς· καὶ οὐκ ᾔδει ἐν τῷ κοιμηθῆναι αὐτὸν, καὶ ἀναστῆναι.
35 Y dieron á beber vino á su padre también aquella noche: y levantóse la menor, y durmió con él; pero no echó de ver cuándo se acostó ella, 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 Καὶ συνέλαβον αἱ δύο θυγατέρες Λὼτ ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν.
36 Y concibieron las dos hijas de Lot, de su padre.
36 Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father.
37 Καὶ ἔτεκεν ἡ πρεσβυτέρα υἱὸν, καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Μωὰβ, λέγουσα, ἐκ τοῦ πατρός μου· οὗτος πατὴρ Μωαβιτῶν ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας.
37 Y parió la mayor un hijo, y llamó su nombre Moab, el cual es 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 Ἔτεκε δὲ καὶ ἡ νεωτέρα υἱὸν, καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἀμμὰν, λέγουσα, υἱὸς γένους μου· οὗτος πατὴρ Ἀμμανιτῶν ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας.
38 La menor también parió un hijo, y llamó su nombre Ben-ammí, el cual es padre de los Ammonitas 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.
