WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Los dos ángeles llegaron esa noche a Sodoma. Lot estaba sentado en la puerta de la ciudad. Y cuando vio a los hombres se levantó para recibirlos, y se inclinó con su 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 “Señores, por favor, entren y quédense en mi casa esta noche”, les dijo. “Pueden lavar sus pies y seguir su camino temprano por la mañana”. Pero ellos le respondieron: “No te preocupes. Pasaremos la noche aquí 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 Pero Lot insistió y los dos hombres fueron con él a su casa. Les preparó alimentos y coció pan para que comieran.

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 Pero ellos ni siquiera se habían ido aún a la cama cuando unos hombres de Sodoma, jóvenes y adultos, de cada parte de la ciudad, vinieron y 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 Entonces le gritaron a Lot: “¿Dónde están los hombres que se hospedaron en tu casa esta noche? Tráelos, pues queremos tener sexo 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 hablar con ellos en la entrada de su casa, cerrando la puerta al salir.

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

7 “¡Amigos, por favor, no cometan tal perversidad!

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

8 Como verán, tengo dos hijas vírgenes. Puedo traerlas para que hagan con ellas lo que quieran, pero por favor no le hagan nada a estos hombres. Yo soy responsable de cuidarlos”.

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 “¡Apártate de nuestro camino!” gritaron. “¿Quién crees que eres, que vienes a vivir aquí, y ahora tratas de juzgarnos? ¡A ti te haremos peores cosas que las que íbamos a hacerles a ellos!” Entonces empujaron a Lot y trataban de 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 que estaban dentro de la casa salieron y tomaron a Lot, lo trajeron dentro y cerraron la puerta de golpe.

10 But the men reached out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.

11 Entonces hicieron que todos los hombres que estaban en la entrada de la casa, jóvenes y adultos, quedasen ciegos, así que no podían encontrar 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 Entonces los dos hombres le preguntaron a Lot: “¿Hay alguien más en tu familia, como yernos, hijos e hijas, o alguna otra persona en la ciudad? Si es así, asegúrate de que se vayan,

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 estamos a punto de destruir este lugar. Las quejas que han subido hasta el Señor son tan graves que él nos ha enviado a destruirla”.

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 De inmediato Lot fue a hablar con los hombres que estaban comprometidos con sus hijas. “¡Levántense y salgan de aquí!” les dijo, “porque el Señor está a punto de destruir la ciudad!” Pero ellos pensaron que se trataba de una broma.

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 atardecer, los ángeles le rogaron a Lot que se apresurara, diciéndole: “¡Apúrate! Sal ahora mismo con tu esposa y con tus dos hijas de aquí, de lo contrario serán destruidas cuando caiga el castigo sobre 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 Lot dudó. Entonces los hombres tomaron a Lot, a su esposa y a sus hijas por la mano, y los arrastraron hasta llevarlos fuera de la ciudad. El Señor fue misericordioso en hacer esto con ellos.

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 Tan pronto salieron de la ciudad, uno de los hombres dijo: “¡Corran y salven sus vidas! ¡No miren hacia atrás y no se detengan en ninguna parte para ir por el valle! ¡Corran hacia las montañas, o serán destruidos!”

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 “¡Señor, por favor, no me hagas esto!” respondió Lot.

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

19 “Si bien te parece, ya que has sido tan misericordioso en salvar mi vida, no me hagas correr hacia las montañas, pues no podré lograrlo. ¡La destrucción 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 Hay una ciudad cerca, a la cual puedo correr y es muy pequeña. Por favor, déjame correr hasta allí, pues es muy pequeña y así podré salvar 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 “Está bien. Haré lo que me pides”, respondió el Señor. “No destruiré la ciudad que me has mencionado.

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 Pero apresúrate y vete allí rápidamente, porque no podré continuar hasta que estés allí”. (Por esto esta ciudad se llamó 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 Cuando Lot llegó a Zoar ya había salido el sol.

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

24 Entonces el Señor hizo llover fuego y azufre desde el cielo sobre Sodoma y Gomorra.

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

25 Y destruyó las ciudades por completo con todos sus habitantes, así como el valle y todos los cultivos que estaban creciendo allí.

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, que se había quedado atrás, miró hacia atrás y de inmediato se convirtió en una estatua de sal.

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

27 A la mañana siguiente, Abraham se levantó temprano y regresó al lugar donde había hablado con el Señor.

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

28 Y miró en dirección de Sodoma y Gomorra, así como todo el valle, y vio la tierra ardiendo en llamas, expulsando humo como si fuera 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 del valle, no se olvidó de la promesa que le había hecho a Abraham, y salvó a Lot de la destrucción de las ciudades donde él vivía.

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 tuvo miedo de quedarse en Zoar, así que salió de la ciudad y se fue a vivir con sus dos hijas en una cueva, en las montañas.

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 Algún tiempo después, la hija mayor de Lot le dijo a su hermana menor: “Nuestro padre está envejeciendo, y no queda ningún hombre que nos pueda dar hijos como a las demás.

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 Emborrachemos a nuestro padre con vino, y acostémonos con él para que podamos hacer crecer esta familia”.

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 Así que esa noche emborracharon a su padre con vino. La hija mayor se acostó con él, y él no se dio cuenta cuando ella se acostó, ni cuando 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 le dijo a la hija menor : “Anoche yo me acosté con nuestro padre. Emborrachémoslo esta noche otra vez para que tú puedas acostarte con él y podamos hacer crecer esta familia”.

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 Así que una vez más, esa noche emborracharon a su padre con vino, y la hija menor fue y se acostó con él. Y Lot no se dio cuenta cuando ella se acostó ni cuando 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 Fue así como ambas hijas de Lot quedaron embarazadas de su propio padre.

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

37 La hija mayor tuvo un hijo, al que llamó Moab. Él es el ancestro 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, al que llamó Ben-ammi. Él es el ancestro de 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.

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.
