1 Abramu'a Isipi mopareti hakare afufenoma'a enerino nenarone, Lotine neznavreno Negev vu'naku mareri'ne.
UAbrama wasesenyuka eGibhithe, yena lomkakhe lakho konke ayelakho loLothi kanye laye, waya eningizimu.
2 Menina Abramu'a afu'zagama, golima, silvama huno rama'a ante'nea ne'kino tusi'a feno ne' mani'ne.
Njalo uAbrama wayenothile kakhulu, ngezifuyo, ngesiliva, langegolide.
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.
Wasehamba kuzinhambo zakhe esuka eningizimu, waze wafika eBhetheli, endaweni lapho ithente lakhe elalikhona kuqala, phakathi kweBhetheli leAyi;
4 Abramu'a ko'ma have itama tro hunte'nere anante uhanatino, Ra Anumzamofona mono hunte'ne.
endaweni yelathi ayelenzile khona kuqala; uAbrama wasebiza ibizo leNkosi lapho.
5 Abramu'ene vu'nea ne' Lotina sipisipi afu'zaga'ane, bulimakao afuzaga'ane seli noma'araminena me'nea ne' mani'ne.
LoLothi laye, owayehamba loAbrama, wayelezimvu lezinkomo 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.
Njalo ilizwe lalingebathwale ukuthi bahlale ndawonye, ngoba impahla yabo yayinengi, ukuthi babengeke bahlala 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.
Kwasekusiba khona ukuxabana phakathi kwabelusi bezifuyo zikaAbrama labelusi bezifuyo zikaLothi. Ngalesosikhathi amaKhanani lamaPerizi ayehlala elizweni.
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,
UAbrama wasesithi kuLothi: Ake kungabi khona ukuxabana phakathi kwami lawe, laphakathi kwabelusi bami labelusi bakho, ngoba singamadoda osendo.
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.
Ilizwe lonke kaliphambi kwakho yini? Yehlukana-ke lami; uba usiya kwesokhohlo, ngizakuya kwesokunene; kodwa uba kwesokunene, 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 wasephakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona lonke igceke leJordani ukuthi lalithelelwe kuhle lonke. INkosi ingakachithi iSodoma leGomora, lalinjengensimu yeNkosi, njengelizwe leGibhithe, nxa usiya eZowari.
11 Anante Loti'a mika Jodani agupoma hunehamprino'a zage hanatitega vu'ne. Ananteti naga'ane otre atre hu'na'e.
ULothi wasezikhethela lonke igceke leJordani; uLothi wasesiya empumalanga; basebezehlukanisa omunye komunye.
12 Abramu'a Kenani mopare manigeno, Loti'a ranku'ma zaga me'nefi Jodani agupofi Sodomu tva'onte seli noma'a omegino mani'ne.
UAbrama wahlala elizweni leKhanani, uLothi wasehlala emizini yemagcekeni, wamisa ithente lakhe eduze leSodoma.
13 Sodomu vahe'mo'za havi avu'ava nehu'za kumi huhakare hu'za, Ra Anumzamofo ha' rente'naze.
Kodwa abantu beSodoma babebabi babeyizoni phambi kweNkosi kakhulu.
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.
INkosi yasisithi kuAbrama emva kokuthi uLothi esehlukaniswe laye: Phakamisa-ke amehlo akho, ukhangele endaweni lapho okhona, ngasenyakatho langaseningizimu langasempumalanga langasentshonalanga,
15 Hagi mika kagri'ene, kagehe'ine tami vaganeroe.
ngoba ilizwe lonke olibonayo ngizalinika wena, lakunzalo yakho kuze kube nininini.
16 Nagra kagehe'ina zamazeri hakare ha'nena, ama mopafina kugusopagna hanage'za, vahe'mo'zahamprigara osugahaze.
Njalo ngizakwenza inzalo yakho ibe njengothuli lomhlaba, kuze kuthi uba umuntu engabala uthuli lomhlaba, izabalwa lenzalo yakho.
17 Hagi otinka vunka enka nehunka, kamisua mopamofo agema'a ko.
Sukuma uhambe udabule ilizwe, ebudeni balo lebubanzini balo, ngoba ngizalinika wena.
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.
UAbrama wasesusa amathente wafika wahlala ezihlahleni zama-okhi zeMamre, eziseHebroni, wakhela lapho iNkosi ilathi.
