Genesis 19:22

Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

KJV

Festina, et salvare ibi : quia non potero facere quidquam donec ingrediaris illuc. Idcirco vocatum est nomen urbis illius Segor.

Vulgate

σπεῦσον οὖν τοῦ σωθῆναι ἐκεῖ· οὐ γὰρ δυνήσομαι ποιῆσαι πρᾶγμα ἕως τοῦ σε ἐλθεῖν ἐκεῖ. διὰ τοῦτο ἐπωνόμασεν τὸ ὄνομα τῆς πόλεως ἐκείνης Σήγωρ.

LXX

Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
