< Kinohi 19 >
1 A AHIAHI iho la, hiki aku la na anela elua ma Sodoma: a noho iho la o Lota ma ka ipuka o Sodoma: ike aku la o Lota, ku ae la ia e halawai me lakou, a kulou iho la kona mau maka ilalo ma ka honua;
Ingilosi ezimbili zasezifika eSodoma sekuhlwile. LoLothi wayehlezi esangweni leSodoma. Kwathi uLothi ezibona, wasukuma ukuzihlangabeza, wathi mbo ngobuso emhlabathini;
2 I aku la, E kuu mau haku, ke noi aku nei au ia olua, e kipa mai olua maloko o ka hale o ka olua kauwa nei, e moe no a ao ka po, a e holoi i ko olua wawae, a kakahiaka nui e ala'e olua a e hele aku. I mai la laua, Aole, e moe no maua ma ke alanui a ao ka po.
wasesithi: Khangelani-ke makhosi ami, ngicela liphendukele endlini yenceku yenu, lilale ubusuku, ligeze inyawo zenu, beselivuka ngovivi, lihambe indlela yenu. Zathi-ke: Hatshi, kodwa sizalala endleleni.
3 Koi ikaika aku la ia ia laua; a kipa ae la laua io na la, a komo aku la iloko o kona hale; a hana iho no ia i ahaaina na laua, pulehu iho la i ka palaoa huole, a ai iho la laua.
Wasezincenga kakhulu zaze zaphendukela kuye zangena endlini yakhe; wazenzela idili, wapheka isinkwa esingelamvubelo, zasezisidla.
4 Aole laua i moe iho, a o na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale, o na kanaka o Sodoma, o ka poe kahiko a me ka poe hou, o na kanaka a pau mai o a o, hoopuni mai la lakou i ka hale:
Zingakalali, amadoda omuzi, amadoda eSodoma, azingelezela indlu, kusukela komutsha kusiya komdala, bonke abantu bevela ephethelweni lomuzi.
5 Kahea mai la lakou ia Lota, i mai la ia ia, Auhea na kanaka i hele mai i ou la i keia po? E kai mai ia laua iwaho io makou nei, i ike makou ia laua.
Asembiza uLothi athi kuye: Angaphi amadoda afike kuwe lobubusuku? Akhuphele phandle kithi ukuze siwazi.
6 Hele aku la o Lota iwaho ma ka puka io lakou la; a papani ae la i ka puka mahope ona.
ULothi wasephumela kuwo emnyango, wavala umnyango ngemva kwakhe.
7 I aku la, E na hoahanau, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oukou, mai hana hewa oukou.
Wathi: Ngiyacela bazalwane, lingenzi okubi.
8 Eia hoi ia'u na kaikamahine elua i ike ole i ke kane; e ae mai oukou ia'u e lawe mai ia laua iwaho io oukou nei, a e hana aku oukou ia laua i ka mea pono ma ko oukou maka: aka, mai hana aku oukou i kekahi mea i keia mau kanaka; no ka mea, nolaila laua i hele mai nei ma ka malumalu o kuu hale.
Khangelani-ke, ngilamadodakazi amabili, angakazi indoda; ake ngilikhuphele wona, beselisenza kuwo njengokuhle emehlweni enu; kodwa kulamadoda lingenzi lutho, ngoba yikho engene emthunzini wophahla lwami.
9 I mai la lakou, E hookaawale oe. I ae la hoi lakou, I hele mai no oia nei e noho wale maanei, a e lilo ana ka ia i lunakanawai: ano hoi, e oi aku ka makou hana ino ana ia oe i ko laua la. A hookeke nui mai la lakou i ua kanaka nei, ia Lota, a neenee mai la e wawahi i ka pani puka.
Kodwa athi: Xekela le. Athi njalo: Yena lo yedwa wafika engowezizwe, kambe ngeqiniso angaba ngumahluleli? Khathesi sizakwenza okubi kuwe okwedlula wona. Acindezela kakhulu indoda uLothi, asondela ukuze afohloze isivalo.
10 Aka, lalau aku la ua mau kanaka la ia Lota, a huki mai laua ia ia iloko o ka hale io laua la, a papani aku la i ka puka.
Kodwa lawomadoda elula isandla sawo, amngenisa uLothi kuwo endlini, avala umnyango.
11 Hoomakapo iho la laua i ka poe kanaka iwaho o ka puka o ka hale, i na mea uuku a me na mea nui: a hoopauaho lakou ia lakou iho i ka imi i ka puka.
Asetshaya amadoda ayesemnyango wendlu ngobuphofu, kusukela komncinyane kusiya komkhulu, aze adinwa yikudinga umnyango.
12 I mai la laua ia Lota, Aole anei ia oe kekahi poe e ae maanei? o ka hunonakane paha, o na keikikane au, a me au mau kaikamahine, a o na mea a pau ia oe, e laweia'ku iwaho o keia wahi:
Amadoda asesithi kuLothi: Useselobani lapha? Umkhwenyana lamadodana akho lamadodakazi akho, laye wonke olaye emzini, mkhuphe kulindawo,
13 No ka mea, e luku aku maua i keia wahi, no ka nui loa ae o ka leo no lakou, imua o ke alo o Iehova; a ua hoouna mai no o Iehova ia maua e luku aku ia wahi.
ngoba sizabhubhisa lindawo, ngoba isikhalo sabo sikhulu phambi kweNkosi; njalo iNkosi isithumile ukuthi siyibhubhise.
14 Hele aku la o Lota iwaho, olelo aku la i kona mau hunonakane i mare me na kaikamahine ana, i aku la, E ala'e, e holo aku iwaho o keia wahi; no ka mea, e luku mai ana o Iehova i neia kulanakauhale. Aka, ua like ia i ka manao o na hunonakane me ka mea hoomaewaewa.
ULothi wasephuma, wakhuluma labakhwenyana bakhe ababezathatha amadodakazi akhe, wathi: Sukumani liphume kulindawo; ngoba iNkosi izabhubhisa umuzi. Kodwa waba njengosomayo emehlweni abakhwenyana bakhe.
15 I ka wanaao, hoolalelale ua mau anela la ia Lota, i mai la, E ala ae, e lawe i kau wahine, a me kau mau kaikamahine elua maanei, o pau auanei oe iloko o ka make o ko ke kulanakauhale.
Kwathi emadabukakusa, ingilosi zamcindezela uLothi, zisithi: Suka, uthathe umkakho lamadodakazi akho womabili atholakalayo, hlezi ubhujiswe ebubini bomuzi.
16 Ia ia i hookaulua ai, lalau aku la ua mau kanaka la i kona lima, me ka lima o kana wahine, a me ka lima o kana mau kaikamahine elua; ahonui mai la o Iehova ia ia: alakai aku la laua ia ia, a hookuu aku la iwaho o ke kulanakauhale.
Kodwa esazilazila, amadoda abamba isandla sakhe, lesandla somkakhe, lesandla samadodakazi akhe womabili, ngoba iNkosi ilomusa kuye, asemkhupha, ambeka ngaphandle komuzi.
17 I ka wa i alakai aku ai laua ia lakou iwaho o ke kulanakauhale, alaila i mai la ia, E holo i pakele kou ola; mai nana i hope ou, mai kali oe ma neia wahi papu a pau; e holo i ka mauna, o make oe.
Kwasekusithi esebakhuphele ngaphandle, yathi: Baleka ngenxa yempilo yakho, ungakhangeli ngemva kwakho, ungemi egcekeni lonke; balekela entabeni hlezi ubhujiswe.
18 I aku la o Lota ia laua, Auwe! e kuu Haku, aole pela.
ULothi wasesithi kuwo: Kakungabi njalo, Nkosi yami.
19 Eia hoi, ua loaa iho nei i kau kauwa ka lokomaikai imua o kou mau maka, a ua hoonui ae nei oe i kou aloha au i hoike mai ai ia'u i ka hoola ana mai ia'u, aole e hiki ia'u ke holo ma ka mauna, o loaa ia'u ka poino, a make au.
Khangela-ke, inceku yakho ithole umusa emehlweni akho, ukhulisile isihawu sakho, osenze kimi, ukugcina uphila umphefumulo wami; kodwa mina ngingeke ngiphephele entabeni, hlezi ububi bunamathele kimi, besengisifa.
20 Eia ae ke kulanakauhale, e hiki koke ke holo malaila, a ua liilii hoi ia; ea, e ae mai ia'u e holo malaila, (aole anei ia he wahi liilii?) a e malamaia kuu ola.
Khangela-ke, lumuzi useduze ukubalekela kuwo; futhi umncinyane. Ngicela ngibalekele kuwo (kambe kawumncinyane?) lomphefumulo wami uphile.
21 I mai la kela ia ia, Aia, ua hoolohe aku no au i keia mea hoi; aole au e luku aku ia kulanakauhale, no ka mea au i olelo mai ai.
Yasisithi kuye: Khangela, ngibemukele ubuso bakho lakulolu udaba, ukuze ngingawuchithi umuzi okhulume ngawo.
22 E wikiwiki oe e holo ilaila; no ka mea, aole e hiki ia'u ke hana i kekahi mea, a puka aku no oe ilaila. Nolaila, ua kapaia ka inoa o ia kulanakauhale, o i Zoara.
Phangisa, balekela kuwo; ngoba ngingeze ngenza ulutho uze ufike kuwo. Ngakho babiza ibizo lomuzi ngokuthi yiZowari.
23 Ua puka mai ka la maluna o ka honua i ke komo ana o Lota iloko o Zoara.
Ilanga laseliphumile phezu komhlaba lapho uLothi engena eZowari.
24 Alaila, hooua mai la o Iehova maluna o Sodoma i ka luaipele a me ke ahi mai o Iehova la, mai ka lani mai.
INkosi yasinisa phezu kweSodoma laphezu kweGomora isibabule lomlilo, kuvela eNkosini kuvela emazulwini.
25 Hookahuli iho la oia ia mau kulanakauhale, a me kahi papu a pau, a me na kanaka a pau o ua mau kulanakauhale la, a me na mea ulu ma ka honua.
Yasibhubhisa leyomizi legceke lonke, labo bonke ababehlala emizini, lokuhlumayo komhlaba.
26 Aka, nana ae la kana wahine mahope ona, a lilo iho la ia i kukulu paakai.
Kodwa umkakhe wakhangela emuva engemuva kwakhe, wasesiba yinsika yetshwayi.
27 Ala ae la o Aberahama i kakahiaka nui, a hoi hou aku la ia i kahi ana i ku ai imua o Iehova:
UAbrahama wasevuka ekuseni kakhulu, waya endaweni lapho ayemi khona phambi kweNkosi.
28 Nana aku la ia ma Sodoma a me Gomora, a ma ka aina papu a pau, ike aku la ia, aia hoi, pii ae la ka uahi o ia aina iluna, e like me ka punohu o ka lua ahi.
Wasekhangela phansi ngaseSodoma leGomora langasemhlabathini wonke wegceke, wabona, njalo khangela, intuthu yathunqa emhlabeni njengentuthu yesithando.
29 A i ka wa a ke Akua i luku ai i na kulanakauhale o ka papu, hoomanao iho la no ke Akua ia Aberahama, a hoopakele ae la ia Lota maiwaena aku o ka hookahuli ana, ia ia i hookahuli ai i na kulanakauhale kahi a Lota i noho ai.
Kwasekusithi uNkulunkulu esebhubhisile imizi yegceke uNkulunkulu wamkhumbula uAbrahama, wamkhokhela uLothi emkhupha phakathi kwencithakalo, mhla ebhubhisa imizi ayehlala kuyo uLothi.
30 Pii ae la o Lota mailoko aku o Zoara, a noho iho la ma ka mauna, a me ia pu na kaikamahine ana elua; no ka mea, makau iho la ia ke noho ma Zoara: noho no ia ma kekahi ana, oia a me kana mau kaikamahine elua.
ULothi wasesenyuka esuka eZowari, wahlala entabeni, lamadodakazi akhe womabili laye, ngoba wayesesaba ukuhlala eZowari; wahlala obhalwini, yena lamadodakazi akhe womabili.
31 I aku la ka hanau mua i kona kaikaina, Ea, ua elemakule ko kana makuakane, aole hoi he kanaka ma ka honua nei a pau nana e komo mai io kaua nei, e like me ka nana ana a ko ka honua nei:
Endala yasisithi kwencinyane: Ubaba usemdala, njalo kakulandoda emhlabeni ukungena kithi, ngokwendlela yomhlaba wonke.
32 Ina kaua, o hooinu kaua i ko kaua makuakane i ka waina, a e moe kaua me ia, i malama ai kana i hua na ko kaua makuakane.
Woza simnathise ubaba iwayini, silale laye sigcine iphila inzalo evela kubaba.
33 Hooinu laua ia po i ko laua makuakane i ka waina: a komo aku la ka hanau mua iloko, a moe iho la me kona makuakane: aole nae i ike kela i kona wa i moe iho ai, aole hoi kona wa i ala'i.
Asemnathisa uyise iwayini ngalobobusuku; endala yasingena yalala loyise, futhi kakwazanga ekulaleni kwayo lekusukeni kwayo.
34 A ia la ae, i aku la ka hanau mua i ke kaikaina, Aia hoi, moe iho no au me kuu makuakane i ka po nei: e hooinu kaua ia ia i ka waina i keia po no hoi; a e komo aku oe iloko, e moe me ia, i malama ai kana i hua na ko kana makuakane.
Kwasekusithi ngosuku olulandelayo endala yathi kwencinyane: Khangela, bengilele lobaba ngobusuku obedlulileyo; asimnathise iwayini langalobubusuku, ubusungena ulale laye, ukuze sigcine iphila inzalo evela kubaba.
35 Hooinu laua i ko laua makuakane i ka waina ia po no hoi: a ku ae la ke kaikaina, a moe iho la me ia; aole kela i ike i kona wa i moe iho ai, aole hoi i kona wa i ala ai.
Asemnathisa uyise iwayini langalobobusuku; lencinyane yasukuma yalala laye, futhi kakwazanga ekulaleni kwayo lekusukeni kwayo.
36 Hapai na kaikamahine elua a Lota na ko laua makuakane.
Ngokunjalo amadodakazi womabili kaLothi athatha izisu kuyise.
37 Hanau mai la ka mua i keikikane, a kapa iho la i kona inoa o Moaba: oia ke kupuna o ka Moaba a hiki i keia manawa.
Endala yasizala indodana, yayitha ibizo yathi nguMowabi; lowo nguyise wamaMowabi kuze kube lamuhla.
38 A hanau mai la hoi ka muli iho i keikikane, a kapa iho la i kona inoa o Benami: oia ke kupuna o ka Amona a hiki i keia manawa.
Lencinyane layo yazala indodana, yayitha ibizo yathi nguBenami; lowo nguyise wabantwana bakoAmoni kuze kube lamuhla.
