19:2 Note: We read one or more vowels in L differently from BHS.
OET (OET-RV) Then he said, “Listen, my masters: Come with me to your slave’s home and wash your feet and stay the night. Then you can get up early and continue on your way.”
¶ But they said, “No, rather we’ll just spend the night in the street.”
Note 1 topic: writing-politeness
הִנֶּ֣ה נָּא אֲדֹנַ֗י
see please lords,my
See how you translated Behold, please in Gen 18:27. Also see how you translated “my lord” in Gen 18:3. At this point, Lot probably did not know that these were angels, because they looked like men. Alternate translation: “Listen to me please, my lords” or “Sirs please listen to this:”
Note 2 topic: writing-politeness
ס֣וּרוּ נָ֠א אֶל
turn_aside now to/towards
Lot is being urgent here (using please twice), probably because he knows how dangerous the city is. Translate this quote in a way that communicates this urgency. Alternate translation: “Please stop in at”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
בֵּ֨ית עַבְדְּכֶ֤ם וְלִ֨ינוּ֙
house_of servant's,your_all's and,spend_the_night
Lot refers to himself as your servant here to show respect to the two men and to politely offer to host them as his guests.
וְלִ֨ינוּ֙ וְרַחֲצ֣וּ רַגְלֵיכֶ֔ם
and,spend_the_night and,wash feet,your_all's
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. See how you translated wash your feet in Gen 18:4. Alternate translation: “You can wash the dust off your feet and stay for the night there.”
וְהִשְׁכַּמְתֶּ֖ם
and,rise_early
Alternate translation: “Then early in the morning you can get up”
וַהֲלַכְתֶּ֣ם לְדַרְכְּכֶ֑ם
and,go on,way,your_all's
Alternate translation: “and continue on your way.”
וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ
and=they_said
Alternate translation: “The two angels said to him”
Note 4 topic: writing-politeness
לֹּ֔א כִּ֥י
no that/for/because/then/when
The angels’ reply should sound polite and respectful in your translation, not rude or disrespectful. For example, in some cultures it is not polite to say No too directly. Alternate translation: “No, thank you, rather” or “That is kind of you, but”
בָרְח֖וֹב נָלִֽין
in/on/at/with,square spend_the_night
This refers to a public, outdoor place inside the city, perhaps the open place inside the city gate where people would meet. Alternate translation: “we will just stay in the city square tonight.” or “we plan to stay the night in the square.”
19:1-38 The Canaanites were an evil, corrupting people. God judged their morally bankrupt civilization and warned others against becoming like them. It was difficult to get Lot and his family out of Sodom; it was more difficult to get Sodom out of Lot and his family. This chapter helped later Israelites to understand the moral and spiritual threat of the peoples living in and around the Promised Land, such as the Canaanites and Lot’s descendants, the Moabites and the Ammonites (see Num 22–25; Deut 23:3-6; Josh 24:9; Judg 10:7-9; 11:4-5; 1 Sam 10:27; 1 Kgs 11:1-3; 2 Kgs 24:2).

OET (OET-RV) Then he said, “Listen, my masters: Come with me to your slave’s home and wash your feet and stay the night. Then you can get up early and continue on your way.”
¶ But they said, “No, rather we’ll just spend the night in the street.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
