Genesis 19: 15- 29

19:15 And when it was morning, the Angels compelled him, e korero ana, “Arise, take your wife, and the two daughters that you have, lest you also should perish amid the wickedness of the city.”

19:16 Na, since he ignored them, they took his hand, and the hand of his wife, as well as that of his two daughters, because the Lord was sparing him.

19:17 And they brought him out, and placed him beyond the city. And there they spoke to him, e korero ana: “Save your life. Do not look not back. Neither should you stay in the entire surrounding region. But save yourself in the mountain, lest you also should perish.”

19:18 And Lot said to them: “E tohe ana ahau ki a koe, e toku ariki,

19:19 though your servant has found grace before you, and you have magnified your mercy, which you have shown to me in saving my life, I cannot be saved on the mountain, lest perhaps some misfortune take hold of me and I die.

19:20 There is a certain city nearby, to which I can flee; it is a little one, and I will be saved in it. Is it not a modest one, and will not my soul live?”

19:21 Na ka mea tera ki a ia: « Inaha, ahakoa inaianei, I have heard your petitions about this, not to overturn the city on behalf of which you have spoken.

19:22 Hurry and be saved there. For I cannot do anything until you enter there.” For this reason, the name of that city is called Zoar.

19:23 The sun had risen over the land, and Lot had entered into Zoar.

19:24 No reira, the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah sulphur and fire, from the Lord, out of heaven.

19:25 And he overturned these cities, and all the surrounding region: all the inhabitants of the cities, and everything that springs from the land.

19:26 And his wife, looking behind herself, was turned into a statue of salt.

19:27 Then Abraham, rising up in the morning, in the place where he had stood before with the Lord,

19:28 looked out toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and the entire land of that region. And he saw embers rising up from the land like smoke from a furnace.

19:29 For when God overthrew the cities of that region, remembering Abraham, he freed Lot from the overthrow of the cities, in which he had dwelt.

Matiu 8: 23- 27

8:23 And climbing into a boat, his disciples followed him.

8:24 Na ka titiro, a great tempest occurred in the sea, so much so that the boat was covered with waves; yet truly, he was sleeping.

8:25 And his disciples drew near to him, and they awakened him, e korero ana: “E te Ariki, save us, we are perishing.”

8:26 And Jesus said to them, “Why are you afraid, O little in faith?” Then rising up, he commanded the winds, and the sea. And a great tranquility occurred.

8:27 I tua atu, the men wondered, e korero ana: “What kind of man is this? For even the winds and the sea obey him.”
