< Mose 1 13 >
1 Ale Abram ʋu le Egipte kple srɔ̃a kpakple Lot kpe ɖe nu siwo katã nɔ wo si la ŋu, eye wozɔ mɔ to Egipte ƒe dzigbeme yi Negeb.
UAbrama wasesenyuka eGibhithe, yena lomkakhe lakho konke ayelakho loLothi kanye laye, waya eningizimu.
2 Abram nye kesinɔtɔ gã aɖe: lãwo, klosalo kple sika nɔ esi fũu.
Njalo uAbrama wayenothile kakhulu, ngezifuyo, ngesiliva, langegolide.
3 Tso Negeb gbegbe la, etso teƒe yi teƒe va se ɖe esime wòva ɖo Betel, teƒe si le Betel kple Ai dome, afi si wòtu agbadɔ ɖo kpɔ
Wasehamba kuzinhambo zakhe esuka eningizimu, waze wafika eBhetheli, endaweni lapho ithente lakhe elalikhona kuqala, phakathi kweBhetheli leAyi;
4 kple afi si wòɖi vɔsamlekpui ɖo kpɔ la. Afi ma Abram yɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ le.
endaweni yelathi ayelenzile khona kuqala; uAbrama wasebiza ibizo leNkosi lapho.
5 Lot ame si hã dze Abram yome la nye kesinɔtɔ gã aɖe: alẽwo, nyiwo kple subɔlawo bɔ ɖe esi.
LoLothi laye, owayehamba loAbrama, wayelezimvu lezinkomo lamathente.
6 Ke anyigba la melolo na Abram kple Lot ƒe nyiwo kple alẽwo o: lãawo sɔ gbɔ fũu wu lãnyiƒe la.
Njalo ilizwe lalingebathwale ukuthi bahlale ndawonye, ngoba impahla yabo yayinengi, ukuthi babengeke bahlala ndawonye.
7 Ale dzre dzɔna ɖe Abram kple Lot ƒe lãkplɔlawo dome enuenu togbɔ be Kanaantɔwo kple Perizitɔwo nɔ anyigba la dzi, eye woate ŋu aho aʋa ɖe Abram kple Lot ŋu gɔ̃ hã hafi.
Kwasekusiba khona ukuxabana phakathi kwabelusi bezifuyo zikaAbrama labelusi bezifuyo zikaLothi. Ngalesosikhathi amaKhanani lamaPerizi ayehlala elizweni.
8 Le esia ta Abram gblɔ na Lot be, “Ele be dzre si dzɔna enuenu ɖe míaƒe amewo dome la nu natso. Mele be memama nanɔ míaƒe ƒomewo dome o. Ele be ɖekawɔwɔ nanɔ mí ame siwo nye ƒometɔwo la dome boŋ.
UAbrama wasesithi kuLothi: Ake kungabi khona ukuxabana phakathi kwami lawe, laphakathi kwabelusi bami labelusi bakho, ngoba singamadoda osendo.
9 Tia anyigba la ƒe akpa si dze ŋuwò la, eye míaklã mɔ. Ne ètia ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo la, ekema manɔ afi sia si nye ɣetoɖoƒe gome. Alo ne ètia ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo la, ekema mayi ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo.”
Ilizwe lonke kaliphambi kwakho yini? Yehlukana-ke lami; uba usiya kwesokhohlo, ngizakuya kwesokunene; kodwa uba kwesokunene, ngizakuya kwesokhohlo.
10 Lot lé ŋku ɖe gbadzaƒe si le Yɔdan tɔsisi la gbɔ la ŋu; tsi bɔ ɖe afi ma. Nya sia dzɔ do ŋgɔ na Yehowa ƒe Sodom kple Gomora tsɔtsrɔ̃. Teƒe la ɖi Edenbɔ la kple anyigba nyui si ƒo xlã Zoar le Egipte.
ULothi wasephakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona lonke igceke leJordani ukuthi lalithelelwe kuhle lonke. INkosi ingakachithi iSodoma leGomora, lalinjengensimu yeNkosi, njengelizwe leGibhithe, nxa usiya eZowari.
11 Ale Lot tia Yɔdan ƒe balime heɖo ta ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo. Eʋu yi afi ma kple eƒe lãwo kple eƒe subɔlawo, ale eya kple Abram klã mɔ.
ULothi wasezikhethela lonke igceke leJordani; uLothi wasesiya empumalanga; basebezehlukanisa omunye komunye.
12 Abram tsi Kanaanyigba la dzi esime Lot nɔ du gã siwo nɔ gbadzaƒe la dome; etso nɔƒe ɖe teƒe aɖe si te ɖe Sodom ŋu la.
UAbrama wahlala elizweni leKhanani, uLothi wasehlala emizini yemagcekeni, wamisa ithente lakhe eduze leSodoma.
13 Ame siwo nɔ Sodom la nye ame vɔ̃ɖiwo, eye wowɔ nu vɔ̃ geɖewo ɖe Yehowa ŋu.
Kodwa abantu beSodoma babebabi babeyizoni phambi kweNkosi kakhulu.
14 Le Lot ƒe ʋuʋu megbe la, Yehowa gblɔ na Abram be, “Nye kɔ nàkpɔ didiƒe, tso anyiehe yi dziehe, tso ɣedzeƒe yi ɣetoɖoƒe, afi si nàte ŋu akpɔ aƒo xlã ɖokuiwò,
INkosi yasisithi kuAbrama emva kokuthi uLothi esehlukaniswe laye: Phakamisa-ke amehlo akho, ukhangele endaweni lapho okhona, ngasenyakatho langaseningizimu langasempumalanga langasentshonalanga,
15 elabena matsɔ afi sia katã ana wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo.
ngoba ilizwe lonke olibonayo ngizalinika wena, lakunzalo yakho kuze kube nininini.
16 Mana wò dzidzimeviwo nasɔ gbɔ abe ʋuʋudedi ene, ame aɖeke mate ŋu axlẽ wo o!
Njalo ngizakwenza inzalo yakho ibe njengothuli lomhlaba, kuze kuthi uba umuntu engabala uthuli lomhlaba, izabalwa lenzalo yakho.
17 Ɖi tsa le anyigba yeye si mele nawòm la ƒe afi sia afi, eye nàlé ŋku ɖe nuwo ŋu.”
Sukuma uhambe udabule ilizwe, ebudeni balo lebubanzini balo, ngoba ngizalinika wena.
18 Ale Abram ho eƒe agbadɔ, eye wòyi ati gã siwo le Mamre la gbɔ, teƒe si te ɖe Hebron ŋu, eye wòɖi vɔsamlekpui na Yehowa ɖe afi ma.
UAbrama wasesusa amathente wafika wahlala ezihlahleni zama-okhi zeMamre, eziseHebroni, wakhela lapho iNkosi ilathi.
