Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot— they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building,

又好像罗得的日子；人又吃又喝，又买又卖，又耕种又盖造。

同样，就像在罗得的日子，人又吃又喝，又买又卖，又耕种又建造，

同样，就像在罗得的日子，人又吃又喝，又买又卖，又耕种又建造，

又像罗得的时代，人们吃喝、做买卖、耕地、盖房。

在罗得的时代也是这样，人们吃喝买卖，耕种建造，

同样，就像在罗得的那些日子里发生的那样：人们继续吃喝、买卖、耕种、建造，

又好像羅得的日子；人又吃又喝，又買又賣，又耕種又蓋造。

同樣，就像在羅得的日子，人又吃又喝，又買又賣，又耕種又建造，

同樣，就像在羅得的日子，人又吃又喝，又買又賣，又耕種又建造，

又像羅得的時代，人們吃喝、做買賣、耕地、蓋房。

在羅得的時代也是這樣，人們吃喝買賣，耕種建造，

又好像在羅得的日子一樣；人喫喝買賣，栽種建造；

同樣，就像在羅得的那些日子裡發生的那樣：人們繼續吃喝、買賣、耕種、建造，

又如羅得之時、人食飲貿易、樹藝建造、

如羅得時、其人飲食貿易、樹蓺搆造、

又如羅得時、人皆飲食、貿易、栽種、建造、

又如羅德之日、人方飲食貿易、樹藝建築、晏如也。

“ It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

“ It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking. They were buying and selling. They were planting and building.

“ And the world will be as it was in the days of Lot. People went about their daily business— eating and drinking, buying and selling, farming and building—

It will be the same as it was in the days of Lot: People went on eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building.

It was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, and they were building;

Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

Likewise even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

It will be the same as it was in the days of Lot: People went on eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building.

Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot, people were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building;

Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you.Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten.Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days.Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy.They were haughty and did an abomination before me. So I removed them, when I saw it.

The two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed himself with his face to the earthand said,“ My lords, please turn aside to your servant’s house and spend the night and wash your feet. Then you may rise up early and go on your way.” They said,“ No; we will spend the night in the town square.”But he pressed them strongly; so they turned aside to him and entered his house. And he made them a feast and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house.And they called to Lot,“ Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.”Lot went out to the men at the entrance, shut the door after him,and said,“ I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.Behold, I have two daughters who have not known any man. Let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you please. Only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof.”But they said,“ Stand back!” And they said,“ This fellow came to sojourn, and he has become the judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them.” Then they pressed hard against the man Lot, and drew near to break the door down.But the men reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them and shut the door.And they struck with blindness the men who were at the entrance of the house, both small and great, so that they wore themselves out groping for the door.Then the men said to Lot,“ Have you anyone else here? Sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or anyone you have in the city, bring them out of the place.For we are about to destroy this place, because the outcry against its people has become great before the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it.”So Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters,“ Up! Get out of this place, for the Lord is about to destroy the city.” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting.As morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying,“ Up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city.”But he lingered. So the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city.And as they brought them out, one said,“ Escape for your life. Do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley. Escape to the hills, lest you be swept away.”And Lot said to them,“ Oh, no, my lords.Behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life. But I cannot escape to the hills, lest the disaster overtake me and I die.Behold, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there— is it not a little one?— and my life will be saved!”He said to him,“ Behold, I grant you this favor also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.Escape there quickly, for I can do nothing till you arrive there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the Lord out of heaven.And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.But Lot’s wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the Lord.And he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the valley, and he looked and, behold, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace.

Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the Lord.

Then the Lord said,“ Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave,I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry that has come to me. And if not, I will know.”
