1 Onyenwe anyị gosiri Ebraham onwe ya nʼakụkụ osisi ukwu dị na Mamre, mgbe Ebraham nọdụrụ ala nʼihu ụlọ ikwu ya, nʼetiti ehihie.
Pea naʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kiate ia ʻi he fonua ʻo Mamili, ʻi heʻene nofo ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻi he pupuha ʻoe ʻaho.
2 O lelitere anya ya hụ ndị ikom atọ ka ha guzo ebe ọ nọ nso. Mgbe ọ hụrụ ha, o sitere nʼihu ụlọ ikwu ya gbakwuru ha izute ha, kpọọ isiala.
Pea hanga hake ʻe ia hono mata ʻo sio, pea vakai, ʻoku tutuʻu mai ʻae tangata ʻe toko tolu kiate ia: pea ʻi heʻene mamata ki ai, naʻa ne lele mei he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ke fakafetaulaki kiate kinautolu, pea naʻe punou hifo ia ki he kelekele,
3 Ọ sịrị, “Onyenwe m, ọ bụrụ na m natara amara nʼihu gị, agabigala ohu gị.
ʻO ne pehē, “Ko hoku ʻEiki, ko eni, kapau kuo u maʻu ʻae lelei ʻi ho ʻao, ʻofa ke ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu mei hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.
4 Biko, ka ekutere unu mmiri ntakịrị, ka unu sachaa ụkwụ unu, zurukwa ike nʼokpuru osisi a.
Tuku ke ʻomi ha vai siʻi, pea fufulu homou vaʻe, pea mou mālōlō ʻi he lolo ʻakau.
5 Ka m wetara unu nri ntakịrị unu ga-eri nke ga-agba unu ume tupu unu agawa nʼihu nʼije unu ugbu a unu bịara na nke ohu unu.” Ha zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma. Mee dịka i kwuru.”
Pea te u ʻomi ha konga mā, pea fakafiemālie homou loto; pea hili ia te mou ʻalu; he ko ia kuo mou haʻu ai ki hoʻomou tamaioʻeiki.” Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ke ke fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea.”
6 Ya mere, Ebraham mere ngwangwa banyekwuru Sera nʼụlọ ikwu ya sị ya, “Mee ngwa, mapụta ihe ọtụtụ sịa atọ site na ọka a kwọrọ nke ọma jiri meta achịcha.”
Pea ʻalu fakatoʻotoʻo ʻa ʻEpalahame ki he fale, kia Sela ʻo ne pehē, “Teuteu fakavave ʻae fua ʻe tolu ʻoe mahoaʻa lelei ʻo natu ia, ʻo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā, pea taʻo ia ʻi he ngotoʻumu.
7 Mgbe ahụ, Ebraham gbagara nʼigwe ehi ya, họpụta otu nwa ehi na-akaghị aka nke ahụ ya dị mma, nye ya otu ohu ya onye mere ngwangwa gbuo ya, dozie ya maka oriri.
Pea lele ʻa ʻEpalahame ki he fanga manu, ʻo ne toʻo mei ai ʻae ʻuhiki pulu molu mo lelei, ʻo ne ʻatu ia ki ha talavou pea naʻa ne fakatoʻotoʻo ʻa hono ngaohi.
8 Emesịa, Ebraham buuru mmiri ara ehi nke rahụrụ arahụ, na mmiri ara ehi, na anụ ahụ a kwadoro dozie ha nʼihu ndị ọbịa ahụ. O guzokwara nso nso ebe ha nọ nʼokpuru osisi ahụ mgbe ha na-eri nri.
Pea ne toʻo mai ʻae pota, mo e huʻahuhu, pea mo e ʻuhiki pulu naʻa ne ngaohi, ʻo ne tuku ia ʻi honau ʻao; pea tuʻu ia ʻo ofi kiate kinautolu ʻi he lolo ʻakau, pea naʻa nau kai.”
9 Ha jụrụ ya sị, “Ebee ka Sera nwunye gị nọ?” Ọ zara sị, “Ọ nọ nʼime ụlọ ikwu.”
Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e fē ʻa Sela, ko ho uaifi?” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi he fale fehikitaki ia.”
10 Ọ sịrị ya, “Nʼezie, mụ onwe m ga-alọghachikwute gị nʼoge a nʼafọ ọzọ, Sera nwunye gị ga-amụta nwa nwoke.” Sera guzo nʼime ụlọ ikwu ahụ nke dị nʼazụ Ebraham na-ege ntị nʼihe ha na-ekwu.
Pea ne pehē, “Ko e moʻoni te u toe haʻu kiate koe, ʻi he kuonga totonu; pea vakai, ʻe maʻu ʻe ho uaifi ko Sela, ha tama.” Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Sela ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ʻaia naʻe ʻi hono tuʻa.
11 Nʼoge a, Ebraham na Sera emeela nnọọ agadi, gbaakwa isi awọ. Sera agafeela oge ịmụta nwa.
Pea naʻe motuʻa ʻa ʻEpalahame mo Sela, pea naʻe lahi hona taʻu: naʻe ʻikai kei ia Sela ʻae anga ʻoe fefine.
12 Ya mere, mgbe Sera nụrụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ọ chịrị ọchị sị, “Agadi nwanyị dịka m o si aṅaa amụta nwa, ugbu a onyenwe m karala nka?”
Ko ia naʻe katakata loto ai ʻa Sela, ʻo pehē, “He ko e moʻoni, te u nekeneka au, ka kuo u motuʻa, pea kuo motuʻa mo ʻeku ʻeiki foki?”
13 Onyenwe anyị jụrụ Ebraham ajụjụ sị, “Gịnị mere Sera ji achị ọchị? Gịnị mere o ji kwuo sị, ‘Olee otu agadi nwanyị dịka m ga-esi mụọ nwa?’
Pea folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpalahame, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā naʻe kata ai ʻa Sela, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e moʻoni koā te u fanauʻi ha tama ʻeau ka kuo u motuʻa?’
14 Ọ dị ihe nyịrị Onyenwe anyị ime? Mụ onwe m ga-alọghachikwute gị nʼoge a kara aka, Sera nwunye gị ga-amụta nwa nwoke.”
He ʻoku ai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku faingataʻa kia Sihova? ʻI he kuonga kuo kotofa te u toe haʻu kiate koe, pea ʻe maʻu ʻe ho uaifi ko Sela ʻae tama.”
15 Ma ụjọ tụrụ Sera. Nʼihi ya, ọ gọrọ agọ sị, “Achịghị m ọchị.” Ma Ọ zara sị, “Ọ bụ ezie, Sera, ị chịrị ọchị.”
Pea fakafisi ʻa Sela ʻo pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai te u kata;” he naʻa ne manavahē. Pea ne pehē, “ʻIkai, ka naʻa ke kata pe.”
16 Mgbe ndị ikom atọ ahụ biliri ibidokwa ije ha, ha chere ihu ịga obodo Sọdọm, Ebraham dupụkwara ha.
Pea tuʻu hake ʻae kau tangata mei ai, pea hanga atu ki Sotoma, pea ʻalu ʻa ʻEpalahame mo kinautolu, ke moimoiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he hala.
17 Mgbe ha na-aga nʼụzọ, Onyenwe anyị tulere sị, “O kwesiri ka m zochiere Ebraham ihe m chọrọ ime?
Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “He te u fufū mei ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻae meʻa te u fai?
18 Ebraham aghaghị ịbụ mba dị ukwuu dịkwa ike. A ga-agọzikwa agbụrụ niile nọ nʼụwa site na ya.
He ko e moʻoni ʻe hoko ʻa ʻEpalahame ko e puleʻanga lahi mo mālohi ʻaupito, pea ʻe monūʻia ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
19 Nʼihi na ahọpụtala m ya, ka ọ tụziere ụmụ ya na ụlọ ya ndị ga-esote ya ịgbaso ụzọ Onyenwe anyị site nʼime ihe dị mma na ihe ziri ezi, ka Onyenwe anyị mezuoro Ebraham ihe niile o kwere ya na nkwa.”
He ʻoku ou ʻiloʻi ia, te ne fekau ʻene fānau mo hono kau nofoʻanga kotoa pē tuku fakaholo, pea te nau ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻo Sihova, ke fai ʻae angatonu, mo e fakamaau: koeʻuhi ke fakahoko ʻe Sihova kia ʻEpalahame, ʻaia kotoa pē kuo ne lea ʻaki kiate ia.”
20 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị kwuru sị, “Mkpu akwa m na-anụ site na Sọdọm na Gọmọra dị ukwuu, otu a kwa, mmehie ha jọbigara njọ oke.
Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “Koeʻuhi kuo lahi ʻae tangi ʻa Sotoma mo Komola, pea kuo hoko ʻo kovi ʻaupito ʻenau angahala;
21 Ugbu a, ana m aga ka m jiri anya m hụ ma ihe ha mere ọ dị njọ dịka mkpu akwa m na-anụ si dị. Ma o sighị otu ahụ dịrị, aga m amata.”
Ko ia te u ʻalu hifo ni, ʻo mamata, pe kuo nau fai kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e tangi ʻo ia, ʻaia kuo aʻu mai kiate au: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, pea te u ʻilo.”
22 Mgbe ahụ, ndị ikom abụọ nʼime ha gawara Sọdọm. Ma Ebraham nọ na-eguzo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
Pea naʻe hanga atu mei ai ʻae mata ʻoe ongo tangata ke na ʻalu atu ki Sotoma: ka naʻe kei tuʻu pe ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
23 Ebraham jeruru Onyenwe anyị nso jụọ ya sị, “Uche gị ọ bụ ikpochapụ ndị ezi omume na ndị ajọ omume?
Pea ʻunuʻunu atu ke ofi ʻa ʻEpalahame, ʻo ne pehē, “Pea te ke fakaʻauha fakataha ʻae angatonu mo e angahala?
24 Ọ bụrụ na ị chọta iri ndị ezi omume ise nʼime obodo ahụ, ị ga-ekpochapụ obodo ahụ? Ị gaghị agbaghara ya nʼihi iri ndị ezi omume ise nọ nʼime ya?
Naʻa ʻoku ʻi he kolo ʻae angatonu ʻe toko nimangofulu: pea te ke fakaʻauha foki, ka ʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui ʻae potu, koeʻuhi ko e angatonu ʻe toko nimangofulu ʻoku ʻi ai?
25 Ọ bụghị ezi ihe na ị ga-ala ndị ezi omume na ndị ajọ omume nʼiyi. Nʼihi na ị gaghị emeso ndị ezi omume dịka i si mesoo ndị na-eme ajọ ihe. O kwesighị ka onye ga-ekpe ụwa niile ikpe, kpee ikpe ziri ezi?”
Ke mamaʻo ʻiate koe ha fai pehē, ke tāmateʻi ʻae angatonu fakataha mo e angahala, pea ke fakatatau ʻae angatonu ki he angahala, ke mamaʻo ia ʻiate koe: ʻikai ʻe fai totonu ʻae Fakamaau ʻo māmani kotoa pē?”
26 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị zara sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na m achọta iri ndị ezi omume ise nʼobodo Sọdọm, aga m agbaghara obodo ahụ niile nʼihi ha.”
Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “Kapau te u ʻilo ʻi Sotoma ʻae angatonu ʻe toko nimangofulu, te u fakamoʻui ʻae potu kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko kinautolu.”
27 Ebraham kwukwara ọzọ sị, “Ugbu a m nwere ike kwuwapụta okwu nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, mụ onye bụ naanị aja na ntụ.
Pea lea ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai, ko eni kuo u lea au kia Sihova, ka ko e efu, mo e efuefu pe au:
28 Eleghị anya ọ bụrụ na e nweta naanị iri ndị ezi omume anọ na ise, ị ga-emebi obodo ahụ?” Onyenwe anyị zara sị, “Agaghị m ebibi ya ma ọ bụrụ na m achọta iri mmadụ anọ na ise nʼime ya.”
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ʻae toko nima ʻi he toko nimangofulu ʻoku angatonu: pea te ke fakaʻauha ʻae kolo kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ko e toko nima? Pea pehē ʻe ia, kapau te u ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko fāngofulu ma toko nima, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaʻauha ia.”
29 Ọzọkwa, ọ sịrị ya, “Ọ bụrụkwanụ na a ga-achọta naanị iri mmadụ anọ?” Onyenwe anyị zara sị ya, “Nʼihi iri mmadụ anọ, agaghị m ebibi ya.”
Pea ne toe lea kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Pea kapau ʻe ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko fāngofulu.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻikai te u fai ia, koeʻuhi koe toko fāngofulu ko ia.”
30 Mgbe ahụ ọ sịrị, “Biko, ka iwe hapụ iwe Onyenwe anyị ma m kwuo okwu. Eleghị anya, achọta naanị iri mmadụ atọ nʼebe ahụ?” Onyenwe anyị zaghachiri sị ya, “Agaghị m emebi ya, ma ọ bụrụ na m achọta iri mmadụ atọ nʼime ya.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOfa ke ʻoua naʻa houhau ʻa Sihova, pea te u lea: Kapau ʻe ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko tolungofulu.” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “E ʻikai te u fai ia, ʻo kapau te u ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko tolungofulu.”
31 O kwuru sị, “Ebe ọ bụ na m amalitela ịgwa gị, Onyenwe anyị okwu, biko kwere ka m gaa nʼihu. Ọ bụrụ na a ga-achọta naanị iri mmadụ abụọ?” Onyenwe anyị zara sị, “Nʼihi iri mmadụ abụọ ahụ agaghị m emebi ya.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai, kuo u lea ni kia Sihova: Kapau ʻe ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko uofulu.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻikai te u fakaʻauha ia koeʻuhi ko e toko uofulu ko ia.”
32 Nʼikpeazụ, Ebraham kwuru sị, “Ka iwe hapụ iwe Onyenwe anyị. Ka m kwuo naanị otu ugboro a. Ọ bụrụkwanụ na a chọta naanị mmadụ iri nʼebe ahụ?” Onyenwe anyị zara sị, “Nʼihi mmadụ iri ahụ, agaghị m ebibi ya.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOfa ke ʻoua naʻa houhau ʻa Sihova, pea te u lea ni ʻo tā tuʻo taha pe; Kapau ʻe ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko hongofulu.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻikai te u fakaʻauha ia, koeʻuhi ko e toko hongofulu ko ia.”
33 Mgbe Onyenwe anyị gwachara Ebraham okwu, ọ hapụrụ ya gawa ebe ọ na-aga. Ebraham laghachiri azụ nʼụlọ ya.
Pea hāʻele atu ai ʻa Sihova ʻi hono hala, hili ʻena alea mo ʻEpalahame; pea liu mai ʻa ʻEpalahame ki hono potu.
