1 Abramu'a Isipi mopareti hakare afufenoma'a enerino nenarone, Lotine neznavreno Negev vu'naku mareri'ne.
Ngakho u-Abhrama wasuka eGibhithe waya eNegebi, kanye lomkakhe lakho konke ayelakho, loLothi ehamba laye.
2 Menina Abramu'a afu'zagama, golima, silvama huno rama'a ante'nea ne'kino tusi'a feno ne' mani'ne.
U-Abhrama wayesenothile kakhulu ngezifuyo langesiliva legolide.
3 Hagi masetere hume nevuno, Negev mopare vuno ko'ma mani'neno'ma hu'nere uhanati'ne. Mago kaziga Beteli kuma me'negeno, mago kaziga Ai kuma me'nere uhanati'ne.
Esuka eNegebi wazula lapha lalapha waze wafika eBhetheli, endaweni eyayiphakathi kweBhetheli le-Ayi lapho ayemise khona ithente lakhe kuqala
4 Abramu'a ko'ma have itama tro hunte'nere anante uhanatino, Ra Anumzamofona mono hunte'ne.
njalo lapho ayeqale khona ukwakha i-alithari. Khonapho u-Abhrama wadumisa ibizo likaThixo.
5 Abramu'ene vu'nea ne' Lotina sipisipi afu'zaga'ane, bulimakao afuzaga'ane seli noma'araminena me'nea ne' mani'ne.
ULothi wayehamba lo-Abhrama, laye wayelemihlambi yezimvu lenkomo lamathente.
6 Hianagi anama mani'a mopamo'a knarera huozanante'ne. Maka afuzaga zani'amo'a titipa huno ne'zama ne'zamo'a atupa higeno, magopi manigara osu'na'e.
Kodwa indawo yayingasoze ibenele bonke nxa babengahlala ndawonye, ngoba impahla yabo yayinengi kakhulu, isala ukuthi bahlale ndawonye.
7 Ana nehigeno Abramune, Lotikizni afu kva vahe'mo'za fra vazi'naze. Ana knafina Kenani vahe'ene, Perisi vahe'mo'za ana mopafina mani titipa hu'naze.
Kwaba lokuxabana phakathi kwabelusi baka-Abhrama labelusi bakaLothi. AmaKhenani lamaPherizi lawo ayehlala kulelolizwe ngalesosikhathi.
8 Abramu'a amanage huno Lotina asami'ne, Tagra mago kora mani'noku fra ovazisnue, bulimakao afuti'are kegavama nehaza vahe'mo'zanena fra ovazisazanki,
U-Abhrama wasesithi kuLothi, “Kasingalwi mina lawe, kumbe abelusi bakho labami ngoba siyizinini zegazi.
9 rama'a mopa me'neanki kagra kavesite vanuema hanana kaziga vuo. Kagrama hoga kaziga vugahue hananke'na, nagra tamaga kaziga vugahue. Hanki kagrama tamaga kaziga vugahue hananke'na, nagra hoga kaziga vugahue.
Umhlaba wonke kawukho phambi kwakho na? Kasehlukane. Ungaya kwesokhohlo mina ngizakuya kwesokunene; ungaya kwesokunene mina ngizakuya kwesokhohlo.”
10 Loti'ma kesga huno kegantugama nehuno Zoari kazigama keana, Jodani kokamo'a hakare kaziga masavenke huno Ra Anumzamofo Edeni hozagna nehuno, Isipi mopagna hu'negeno ke'ne. Anama hu'neana Sodomune, Gomoranema Ra Anumzamo'ma ahe fananema osu'nea knafi anara hu'ne.
ULothi wakhangela wabona ukuthi lonke igceke laseJodani lalilamanzi amanengi, njengesivande sikaThixo, njengelizwe laseGibhithe kusiya eZowari. (Ngalesisikhathi uThixo wayengakabhubhisi iSodoma leGomora.)
11 Anante Loti'a mika Jodani agupoma hunehamprino'a zage hanatitega vu'ne. Ananteti naga'ane otre atre hu'na'e.
Ngakho uLothi wazikhethela lonke igceke laseJodani, wasesuka waya empumalanga. Amadoda la womabili ehlukana:
12 Abramu'a Kenani mopare manigeno, Loti'a ranku'ma zaga me'nefi Jodani agupofi Sodomu tva'onte seli noma'a omegino mani'ne.
U-Abhrama wahlala elizweni laseKhenani, kwathi uLothi wahlala phakathi kwamadolobho asemagcekeni wamisa amathente akhe eduze leSodoma.
13 Sodomu vahe'mo'za havi avu'ava nehu'za kumi huhakare hu'za, Ra Anumzamofo ha' rente'naze.
Abantu baseSodoma babexhwalile kakhulu, besenza izono ezinkulu kuThixo.
14 Loti'ma, Abramu'ma atreno vutegeno, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Abramuna asami'ne, Kesga hunka zage hanatitegane, zage fretegane keganti kegama hunka ko.
UThixo wathi ku-Abhrama ngemva kokuba uLothi esesukile kuye, “Phakamisa amehlo akho asuke lapho okhona, ukhangele enhla leningizimu, empumalanga lentshonalanga.
15 Hagi mika kagri'ene, kagehe'ine tami vaganeroe.
Lonke ilizwe olibonayo ngizalinika wena kanye lesizukulwane sakho okulaphakade.
16 Nagra kagehe'ina zamazeri hakare ha'nena, ama mopafina kugusopagna hanage'za, vahe'mo'zahamprigara osugahaze.
Ngizakwenza isizukulwane sakho sibe njengothuli lomhlabathi, okokuthi nxa ekhona ongabala uthuli, lesizukulwane sakho sibe lokubalwa.
17 Hagi otinka vunka enka nehunka, kamisua mopamofo agema'a ko.
Hamba udabule ubude lobubanzi belizwe, ngoba ngiyakupha lona.”
18 Higeno Abramu'a otino seli noma'a tagna vazino erino vuno Mamre me'nea oki zafa tavaonte Hebroni kumate, Ra Anumzamofo ita ome tro hu'ne.
Ngakho u-Abhrama wathutha amathente akhe wahamba wayakwakha eduze kwezihlahla ezinkulu zikaMamure eHebhroni, lapho akhela khona uThixo i-alithari.
