¹ Y fueron acabados los cielos y la tierra, y todo su ornamento.

² Y acabó Dios en el día séptimo su obra que hizo, y reposó el día séptimo de toda su obra que había hecho.

³ Y bendijo Dios al día séptimo, y lo santificó, porque en él reposó de toda su obra que había creado Dios en perfección.

⁴ Estos son los orígenes de los cielos y de la tierra cuando fueron creados, el día que el SEÑOR Dios hizo la tierra y los cielos,

⁵ y toda planta del campo antes que fuese en la tierra, y toda hierba del campo antes que naciese; porque el SEÑOR Dios aún no había hecho llover sobre la tierra, ni aun había hombre para que labrase la tierra;

⁶ Y un vapor subía de la tierra, que regaba toda la faz de la tierra.

⁷ Formó, pues, El SEÑOR Dios al hombre del polvo de la tierra, y sopló en su nariz el aliento de vida; y fue el hombre un alma viviente.

⁸ Y había plantado el SEÑOR Dios un huerto en Edén al oriente, y puso allí al hombre que formó.

⁹ Había también hecho producir el SEÑOR Dios de la tierra todo árbol deseable a la vista, y bueno para comer, y el árbol de vida en medio del huerto, y el árbol de la ciencia del bien y del mal.

¹⁰ Y salía un río de Edén para regar el huerto, y de allí se repartía en cuatro cabezas.

¹¹ El nombre del uno era Pisón; éste es el que cerca toda la tierra de Havila, donde hay oro;

¹² y el oro de aquella tierra es bueno; hay allí también bedelio y piedra cornerina.

¹³ El nombre del segundo río es Gihón; éste es el que cerca toda la tierra de Etiopía.

¹⁴ Y el nombre del tercer río es Hidekel; éste es el que va hacia el oriente de Asiria. Y el cuarto río es el Eufrates.

¹⁵ Tomó, pues, el SEÑOR Dios al hombre, y le puso en el huerto de Edén, para que lo labrase y lo guardase.

¹⁶ Y mandó el SEÑOR Dios al hombre, diciendo: De todo árbol del huerto comerás;

¹⁷ mas del árbol de la ciencia del bien y del mal, no comerás de él; porque el día que de él comieres, morirás.

¹⁸ Y dijo el SEÑOR Dios: No es bueno que el hombre esté solo; le haré ayuda que esté delante de él.

¹⁹ Formó, pues, el SEÑOR Dios de la tierra toda bestia del campo, y toda ave de los cielos, y las trajo a Adán, para que viese cómo les había de llamar; y todo lo que Adán llamó al alma viviente, es ese su nombre.

²⁰ Y puso Adán nombres a toda bestia y ave de los cielos, y a todo animal del campo; mas para Adán no halló ayuda que estuviese delante de él.

²¹ Y el SEÑOR Dios hizo caer sueño sobre el hombre, y se adormeció; entonces tomó una de sus costillas, y cerró la carne en su lugar;

²² y edificó el SEÑOR Dios la costilla que tomó del hombre, en mujer, y la trajo al hombre.

²³ Y dijo el hombre: Esta vez, hueso de mis huesos, y carne de mi carne; ésta será llamada Varona, porque del Varón fue tomada.

²⁴ Por tanto, el varón dejará a su padre y a su madre, y se allegará a su mujer, y serán por una carne.

²⁵ Y estaban ambos desnudos, Adán y su mujer, y no se avergonzaban.

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 and he said, "See now, my lords, please turn aside 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 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 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 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 went out to them to the door, and shut the door after him.

⁷ He said, "Please, my brothers, don't act so wickedly.

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 They said, "Stand back!" Then they said, "This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now will we deal worse with you, than with them!" They pressed hard on the man Lot, and drew near to break the door.

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

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 The men said to Lot, "Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whoever you have in the city, bring them out of the place:

¹³ for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before Yahweh that Yahweh has sent us to destroy it."

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 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 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 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 said to them, "Oh, not so, my lord.

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

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

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

²⁵ He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.

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

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

²⁸ He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and looked, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.

²⁹ It happened, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.

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 The firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us in the way of all the earth.

³² Come, let's make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father's seed."

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 It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, "Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine again, tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father's seed."

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

³⁷ The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.

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.
