WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Entre tanto los dos ángeles llegaron a Sodoma al llegar la noche. Lot estaba sentado en la puerta de Sodoma. Cuando Lot los vio, se levantó a recibirlos y al postrarse con su rostro a 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 dijo: Oigan, mis ʼAdón, les ruego que se hospeden en casa de este esclavo, que pernocten y laven sus pies, y por la mañana se levanten y sigan su camino. Pero ellos contestaron: No, pasaremos la noche en la plaza.

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 Sin embargo, como les rogó con insistencia, fueron con él. Entraron en su casa y él les preparó un banquete. Hizo 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 Aún no se habían acostado cuando los hombres de la ciudad, los varones de Sodoma, rodearon la casa, desde el joven hasta el anciano, todo el pueblo en conjunto.

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 varones que vinieron a ti esta noche? ¡Sácalos para que tengamos relaciones 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 Entonces Lot salió a ellos hasta la entrada, cerró la puerta tras él

6 Lot went out to them through the door, and shut the door after himself.

7 y exclamó: ¡Les ruego, hermanos míos, que no hagan esta perversidad!

7 He said, “Please, my brothers, don’t act so wickedly.

8 Oigan, les ruego, tengo dos hijas que no se han unido a varón. Las sacaré a ustedes ahora y hagan con ellas como les parezca bien, pero nada hagan a estos varones que vinieron a cobijarse bajo 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 Pero respondieron: ¡Quítate de ahí! Y añadieron: Es el único que vino como forastero, ¿y pretende erigirse en juez? ¡Ahora te trataremos peor que a ellos! Y al arremeter violentamente contra Lot, intentaban forzar 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 Entonces los varones [visitantes] extendieron sus manos y metieron a Lot junto a ellos en 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 Y a los hombres que estaban en la entrada de la casa, desde el menor de ellos hasta el mayor, los hirieron con ceguera, de modo que se fatigaban por hallar la entrada.

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 varones dijeron a Lot: ¿A quién más tienes aquí? Saca del lugar a tus yernos, tus hijos e hijas, y cualquiera que tengas en la ciudad,

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 porque nosotros vamos a destruir este lugar ya que el clamor que subió delante de Yavé es grande. Yavé nos envió a 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 Entonces Lot salió y habló a sus yernos, los que iban a tomar a sus hijas, y les dijo: ¡Levántense! ¡Salgan de este lugar, porque Yavé va a destruir esta ciudad! Pero a sus futuros yernos les pareció que bromeaba.

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 rayar el alba, los ángeles apremiaban a Lot y le decían: ¡Levántate, toma a tu esposa y a tus dos hijas que están aquí para que no sean barridos en el castigo a 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 Pero como él vacilaba, los varones lo agarraron y lo sacaron de la mano a él, a su esposa y a sus dos hijas, según la misericordia de Yavé hacia él. Lo sacaron y lo 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 Cuando los sacaron les dijeron: ¡Huye por tu vida! No mires atrás, ni te detengas en toda la llanura. ¡Escapa a la montaña, 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 Lot les contestó: ¡No, les ruego, mis ʼAdonay!

18 Lot said to them, “Oh, not so, my lord.

19 Miren, les ruego, ya que su esclavo halló gracia ante sus ojos, y engrandecieron la misericordia para conmigo y preservaron mi vida. Pero no puedo escapar hasta la montaña, pues el desmayo me alcanzará, y moriré.

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 Oigan, les ruego, esa ciudad está cerca para huir allá y es pequeña. ¿No es insignificante? Permítanme que huya allá y conserve mi 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 [Un ángel] le respondió: Ciertamente, también sobre esto acepto tu ruego. No destruiremos la ciudad de la cual hablaste.

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! Escapa hacia allá, pues no podré hacer alguna cosa hasta que llegues allá. Por eso llamó Zoar el nombre de la ciudad.

22 Hurry, escape there, for I can’t do anything until you get there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

23 Salía el sol sobre aquella tierra cuando Lot entraba en Zoar.

23 The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.

24 Entonces Yavé ordenó que lloviera azufre y fuego desde el cielo sobre Sodoma y Gomorra de parte de Yavé,

24 Then Yahweh rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from Yahweh out of the sky.

25 y destruyó estas ciudades y toda aquella llanura, con todos los habitantes de las ciudades y las plantas 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 esposa de Lot miró hacia atrás y se convirtió en estatua de sal.

26 But Lot’s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

27 Abraham, al madrugar, se dirigió al lugar donde estuvo en la Presencia de Yavé.

27 Abraham went up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Yahweh.

28 Miró hacia Sodoma, Gomorra y toda la región de la llanura. Ciertamente vio que un humo subía de la tierra, como la humareda 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 Así ocurrió que cuando ʼElohim destruyó las ciudades de la llanura, ʼElohim se acordó de Abraham. Por eso sacó a Lot de en medio de la destrucción de las ciudades en las cuales Lot se estableció.

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 Luego Lot subió desde Zoar y vivió en la montaña con sus dos hijas, pues temía permanecer en Zoar. Habitó, pues, en una caverna junto con 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 Dijo la primogénita a la más joven: Nuestro padre es anciano, y no hay en esta tierra ni un varón que se una a nosotras según 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 ¡Ven! Hagamos beber vino a nuestro padre, y unámonos con él. Así preservaremos 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 Y dieron a beber vino a su padre aquella noche. Entró la primogénita y se unió a su padre, pero él no supo cuándo ella se unió 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 Sucedió al día siguiente que la primogénita dijo a la más joven: Mira, anoche me uní con mi padre. Hagámosle beber vino también esta noche y vé, únete con él y preservemos 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 También hicieron beber vino a su padre aquella noche. Se levantó la más joven y se unió con él. Sin embargo, él no supo cuándo ella se unió, 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 Las dos hijas de Lot concibieron de su padre.

36 Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father.

37 La primogénita dio a luz un hijo, y lo llamó 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 También la más joven dio a luz un hijo, y lo llamó Ben-ammí, el cual es padre de los hijos de Amón 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).

Quotes verse 19:24 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book III, Chapter VI)
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.
