1 I KEA ae la o Iehova e ia ma na laau oka o Mamere: a noho iho la ia ma ka puka o ka halelewa, i ka manawa i wela mai ai ka la.
INkosi yasibonakala kuye ema-okhini eMamre, wathi ehlezi emnyango wethente ekutshiseni kosuku,
2 Alawa ae la kona mau maka iluna, ike ae la, aia hoi, ku mai la na kanaka ekolu imua ona: a i kona ike ana aku, holo aku la ia mai ka puka o ka halelewa aku e halawai me lakou, a kulou iho la ia ma ka honua.
wasephakamisa amehlo akhe wabona, khangela-ke amadoda amathathu emi phambi kwakhe; esewabonile wagijima ukuwahlangabeza esuka emnyango wethente, wakhothamela emhlabathini,
3 I aku la ia, E kuu haku, ina i loaa ia'u ke alohaia imua o kou mau maka, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, mai hele wale aku oe mai kau kauwa aku.
wasesithi: Nkosi, uba-ke ngithole umusa emehlweni akho, ngicela ungadluli usuke encekwini yakho.
4 Ke noi aku nei au, i laweia mai kekahi wai iki e holoi i ko oukou mau wawae, a e hoomaha iho oukou malalo o ka laau.
Ake kulethwe amanzi amalutshwana, beseligeza inyawo zenu, liphumule ngaphansi kwesihlahla.
5 E lawe mai no hoi au i wahi berena, a e hooluolu iho i ko oukou naau; a mahope iho oukou e hele aku ai; no ka mea, nolaila ko oukou hele ana mai i ko oukou kauwa, I mai la lakou. Me kau i olelo mai ai, pela oe e hana'i.
Ngizaletha-ke ucezu lwesinkwa, beseliqinisa inhliziyo yenu, beselisedlula, ngoba yikho ledlule encekwini yenu. Asesithi: Ngokunjalo yenza njengokutsho kwakho.
6 Wikiwiki ae la o Aberahama i ka hele iloko o ka halelewa io Sara la, i aku la, E hoomakaukau koke oe i ekolu sato palaoa wali; e hookawili a e pulehu i papaberena.
UAbrahama wasephangisa esiya ethenteni kuSara, wasesithi: Phangisa! Amaseya amathathu empuphu ecolekileyo! Xova, wenze amaqebelengwana.
7 Holo aku la o Aberahama i ka ohana bipi, lalau aku la i ka bipikeiki opiopio momona, haawi aku la i kekahi keiki, a wikiwiki iho la ia e kalua.
UAbrahama wasegijimela enkomeni, wathatha ithole elibuthakathaka njalo elihle, walinika ijaha; laphangisa ukulilungisa.
8 Lalau aku ia i wahi bata a me ka waiu, a me ka bipikeiki ana i kalua ai, a kau aku la imua o lakou: a ku aku la ia ma o lakou la malalo o ka laau; a ai iho la lakou.
Wasethatha amasi lochago, lethole abelilungisile, wakubeka phambi kwawo; wema eduze lawo ngaphansi kwesihlahla, asesidla.
9 Ninau mai la lakou ia ia, Auhea kau wahine, o Sara? I aku la ia, aia no iloko o ka halelewa.
Asesithi kuye: Ungaphi uSara umkakho? Wasesithi: Khangela, ethenteni.
10 Alaila, i mai la kela, Ho oiaio, e hoi hou mai ana au i keia manawa o kela makahiki, aia hoi, e loaa uanei ia Sara he keikikane. A lohe ae la o Sara ma ka puka o ka halelewa ma kona kua.
Yasisithi: Isibili ngizabuya kuwe ngalesisikhathi sempilo; khangela, uSara umkakho uzakuba lendodana. USara wakuzwa esemnyango wethente elalingemva kwayo.
11 A o Aberahama laua o Sara, ua kahiko no laua, he nui ko laua mau la; a ua pau ia Sara ka mea a na wahine.
UAbrahama loSara basebebadala sebelensuku ezinengi; kwasekuphelile kuSara okwendlela yabafazi.
12 Nolaila, akaaka iho la o Sara iloko iho ona, i iho la, E olioli no anei au mahope o kuu wa luwahine, a ua elemakule hoi kuu haku?
USara wasehlekela ngaphakathi, esithi: Sengigugile, ngingaba lenjabulo, lenkosi yami isindala yini?
13 Ninau mai la o Iehova ia Aberahama, No ko aha la i akaaka ai o Sara, i ka i ana, He oiaio anei, o hanau no wau i keiki i kuu wa luwahine?
INkosi yasisithi kuAbrahama: Kungani uSara ehleka, esithi: Isibili lami ngizazala mina sengimdala yini?
14 E hakalia anei kekahi mea ia Iehova? I ka wa i oleloia'i e hoi hou mai ana au i ou la, i keia manawa o kela makahiki, a e loaa ia Sara he keikikane.
Kukhona into enzima kakhulu eNkosini yini? Ngesikhathi esimisiweyo ngizabuya kuwe, ngalesisikhathi sempilo, njalo uSara uzakuba lendodana.
15 Alaila hoole aku la o Sara, i aku la, Aole au i akaaka; no ka mea, makau iho la ia. I mai la kela, Aole, ua akaaka no oe.
USara wasephika esithi: Kangihlekanga, ngoba wayesesaba. Kodwa wathi: Hatshi, ngoba uhlekile.
16 Ku ae la ua mau kanaka la, nana aku la ma Sodoma; a hele pu o Aberahama me lakou e hookuu aku ia lakou.
Amadoda asesukuma esuka lapho akhangela phansi eSodoma; uAbrahama wasehamba lawo ewaphelekezela.
17 I ae la o Iehova, E huna anei au ia Aberahama i ka'u mea e hana nei?
INkosi yasisithi: Mina ngingamfihlela uAbrahama yini engikwenzayo?
18 No ka mea, e lilo io no auanei o Aberahama i lahuikanaka nui a ikaika hoi, a e pomaikai hoi na lahuikanaka a pau o ka honua ia ia.
Ngoba isibili uAbrahama uzakuba yisizwe esikhulu esilamandla; lazo zonke izizwe zomhlaba zizabusiswa kuye.
19 No ka mea, ke ike nei au ia ia, e kauoha aku no ia i kana poe keiki a me kona mau ohua mahope ona, i malama mai ai lakou i ka aoao o Iehova, a e hana lakou ma ka pono a me ka pololei; i hooili aku ai o Iehova maluna o Aberahama i ka mea ana i olelo ai nona.
Ngoba ngimazile, ukuze alaye abantwana bakhe lendlu yakhe emva kwakhe, besebegcina indlela yeNkosi ukuze benze ukulunga lokwahlulela, ukuze iNkosi imehlisele uAbrahama lokho ekutshoyo ngaye.
20 Olelo mai la o Iehova, Ua nui loa ka leo no Sodoma a me Gomora, ua kaumaha no hoi ko lakou hewa;
INkosi yasisithi: Ngoba isikhalo seSodoma leGomora sikhulu, langoba isono sabo sinzima kakhulu,
21 E iho ana au ilaila e ike, i like paha ka lakou hana ana me ka leo no ia wahi i hiki mai ai io'u nei; a i ole paha, o ike auanei hoi au.
ngizakwehla-ke besengibona ukuthi njengokwesikhalo sayo esesifike kimi, benzile ngokupheleleyo; kodwa uba kungenjalo ngizakwazi.
22 Huli ae la ua mau kanaka la i na maka o laua mailaila aku, a hele aku la i Sodoma: aka, ku iho la o Aberahama imua o Iehova.
Amadoda esefulathele lapho, asesiya eSodoma; kodwa uAbrahama wayelokhu emile phambi kweNkosi.
23 Neenee aku la o Aberahama a kokoke, i aku la, E luku pu anei oe i ka poe pono me ka poe hewa?
UAbrahama wasesondela, wathi: Kambe uzambhubhisa lolungileyo kanye lomubi?
24 Ina paha he kanalima na kanaka pono maloko o ua kulanakauhale la, e luku anei oe ia wahi, aole no o malama ia wahi no ka poe pono he kanalima maloko?
Mhlawumbe kukhona abalungileyo abangamatshumi amahlanu phakathi komuzi; kambe uzabhubhisa ungaxoleli indawo ngenxa yabalungileyo abangamatshumi amahlanu abakuwo?
25 Aole loa oe e hana pela, ke pepehi pu i ka poe pono me ka poe hewa: i like pu ai ka poe pono me ka poe hewa, aole loa oe pela: aole anei o hana pono ka lunakanawai o ka honua a pau?
Kakube khatshana lawe ukwenza into enjalo, ukubulala olungileyo kanye lomubi lokuthi olungileyo abe njengomubi; kakube khatshana lawe; umahluleli womhlaba wonke kayikwenza ukulunga yini?
26 I mai la o Iehova, Ina loaa ia'u ma Sodoma na kanaka pono he kanalima maloko o ke kulanakauhale, alaila au e malama ai ia wahi a pau no lakou.
INkosi yasisithi: Uba ngithola eSodoma abalungileyo abangamatshumi amahlanu phakathi komuzi, ngizaxolela yonke indawo ngenxa yabo.
27 Olelo aku la o Aberahama, i aku la, Eia hoi, ua hoomaka no wau e olelo aku i ka Haku, owau he lepo wale no, a me ka lehu:
UAbrahama wasephendula wathi: Khangela-ke, ngizimisele ukukhuluma eNkosini, lanxa ngiluthuli lomlotha.
28 A i emi mai na mea elima o ka poe pono he kanalima; e luku anei oe ia kulanakauhale a pau no ia mau mea elima? I mai ia kela, A i loaa ia'u ilaila he kanaha a me kumamalima, aole au e luku aku.
Mhlawumbe kuzasweleka abahlanu kubo abalungileyo abangamatshumi amahlanu; uzabhubhisa umuzi wonke ngenxa yabahlanu yini? Yasisithi: Kangiyikuwubhubhisa uba ngithola khona abangamatshumi amane lanhlanu.
29 Olelo hou aku la oia ia ia, i aku la, Ina paha he kanaha ka poe i loaa ilaila? i mai la kela, Aole au o hana aku ia mea, ke kanaha lakou.
Waseqhubeka elokhu ekhuluma kuyo wathi: Mhlawumbe kuzatholwa khona abangamatshumi amane. Yasisithi: Kangiyikukwenza ngenxa yabangamatshumi amane.
30 I aku la hoi oia, Ea, a i huhu ole mai ka Haku, e olelo aku no au: Ina paha he kanakolu ka poe i loaa ilaila? I mai la kela, Aole au e hana ia mea, ke loaa ia'u he kanakolu ilaila.
Wasesithi: Ngicela iNkosi ingathukutheli lapho ngikhuluma. Mhlawumbe kuzatholwa khona abangamatshumi amathathu. Yasisithi: Kangiyikukwenza uba ngithola khona abangamatshumi amathathu.
31 I aku la oia, Aia hoi, na hoomaka iho nei au e olelo aku i ka Haku: Ina paha ho iwakalua ka poe i loaa ilaila? I mai la kola, aole au o luku aku, ko iwakalua lakou.
Wasesithi: Khangela-ke, ngizimisele ukukhuluma eNkosini; mhlawumbe kuzatholwa khona abangamatshumi amabili. Yasisithi: Kangiyikuwubhubhisa ngenxa yabangamatshumi amabili.
32 I aku la hoi oia, A i ole e huhu mai ka Haku, a hookahi wale no a'u olelo e koe: Ina paha he umi ka poe i loaa ilaila? I mai la kela, Aole au e luku aku, ke umi lakou.
Wasesithi: Ngicela iNkosi ingathukutheli, ngizakhuluma khathesi kuphela; mhlawumbe kuzatholwa khona abalitshumi. Yasisithi: Kangiyikuwubhubhisa ngenxa yabalitshumi.
33 A pau ae la ka Iehova kamailio ana mo Aberahama, hele aku la o Iehova; a hoi hou mai la o Aberahama i kona wahi.
INkosi yasihamba isiqedile ukukhuluma kuAbrahama; uAbrahama wasebuyela endaweni yakhe.
