1 Abrahamu'a zagemo tusi amuho higeno, Mamrea hunagru hu'nea oki zafa agafare seli noma'a kasante mani'negeno, Ra Anumzamo'a anante ehanati'ne.
UThixo wabonakala ku-Abhrahama eduzane lezihlahla ezinkulu zikaMamure, ehlezi emnyango wethente lakhe, ilanga litshisa kakhulu.
2 Seli noma'a kasante mani'nereti kesga huno keana, taregi magoki vahe oti'nageno keteno, agareno viazamo zamagafi ome arena areno kepri huno,
U-Abhrahama waphosa amehlo wabona amadoda amathathu emi eduze. Wonela ukuwabona wasuka ngokuphangisa emnyango wethente lakhe wawahlangabeza wafika wakhothama phansi.
3 anage hu'ne, Ranimota nagrama knare nehanugeta musema nehusuta eri'za vahetami mani'nogu muse huramantoanki nagatereta eoviho!

4 Muse huramantoanki ama zafa agafare manigsa hunenke'za osia tina afi'za eme tamina tamaga sese hiho.
Akulethwe amanzi amalutshwana nje, ukuze lonke ligeze inyawo zenu, keliphumule ngaphansi kwesihlahla lesi.
5 Ana nehanage'na ne'zana uri'na eme taminena neneta manifru huteta kama vanarega vugahaze. Eri'za vahekamo'na noni'a kasante nantu ante nante'nagu ne'zana neteta vugahaze, hige'za knareki kema hanaza huo.
Wothini ngilidingele ukudla ukuze lizuze amandla andubana liqhubeke ngohambo lwenu njengoba nje selizile encekwini yenu.” Baphendula bathi, “Kulungile, yenza lokho okutshoyo.”
6 Anage hazageno Abrahamu'a ame huno noma'afi umarerino amanage huno nenaro Serana asamine, Knare hu'nesnia flaua tagufa kevu urinka eme herunka bretia kro,
Ngakho u-Abhrahama waphanga waya ethenteni kuSara. Wathi, “Phangisa, thatha izilinganiso ezintathu zefulawa ecolekileyo, uvube inhlama wenze isinkwa.”
7 nehuno Abrahamu'a agareno vuno bulimaka'afinti anenta afu ome aheno eri'za vahe'a eme amigeno, hantka huno erino ome kre'ne.
Waphanga waya emhlambini wakhetha iguqana elihle, elibuthakathaka walipha isisebenzi ukuba silihlinze.
8 Abrahamu'a meme'mofo ami rima'a tagino eme ante nezmanteno, ko'ma kragefe'neama'a erino kaone eme ante nezamanteno tva'onte zafa agafare otino mani'nege'za ne'naze.
Waseletha izankefu zamasi, lochago kanye leguqa elaselilungisiwe, konke wakubeka phambi kwabo. Bathi besidla yena wema eduzane labo ngaphansi kwesihlahla.
9 Nene'za mani'ne'za Abrahamuna amanage hu'za antahige'naze, Negnaro Sera'a iga mani'ne? Hazageno Abrahamu'a huno, Ami seli nompi mani'ne.
Bambuza bathi, “Ungaphi umkakho uSara na?” Wathi, “Ulaphayana, ethenteni.”
10 Higeno anampinti mago'mo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Henka'a ama ana knare'ma esnuana negnaro Sera'a ne' mofavre kasente'nena egahue. Huno nehigeno agu'afi Sera'a seli no kasama'are mani'neno ana ke antahi'ne.
UThixo wasesithi, “Ngizabuya ngempela kuwe ngalesisikhathi ngomnyaka ozayo, njalo umkakho uSara uzakuba lendodana.” USara wayelokhu elalele esemnyango wethente elalingemuva kwakhe.
11 Abrahamuke ozafa tavava rakeno, kafu zanimo'a agaterege'ne. Sera'a mofavre antega osu'negeno avufagamo ampasagigeno mani'ne.
U-Abhrahama loSara basebevele sebebadala kakhulu, uSara esedlule isikhathi sokuba labantwana.
12 Ana higeno Sera'ma ana kema nentahino'a agu'afi kiza nereno amanage huno agesa antahi'ne, Nagrane ranimo'enena ozafa tavava renoanki, inankna huno mofavrea fore huraminogu nehie?
Ngakho uSara wahleka yedwa, wakhumbula wathi, “Kambe sengigugile kanje lenkosi yami isindala, ngingakhona ngizuza intokozo le?”
13 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Abrahamuna asami'ne, Nahigeno Sera'a kizana nereno, tavavamo'na inankna huna mofavrea kasenteku hugeno nehie huno nehie?
UThixo wasesithi ku-Abhrahama, “Kungani uSara ehlekile njalo wathi, ‘Kambe sibili ngizakuba lomntwana mina sengiluphele?’
14 Nazamo Ra Anumzamofona amuho huntegahie? Anaga'a kafufina ama ana knare, Sera'a ne' mofavre kasente'nena egahie.
Kambe kulolutho olwehlula uThixo na? Ngizabuya kuwe ngesikhathi esimisiweyo ngomnyaka ozayo, njalo uSara uzakuba lendodana.”
15 Sera'a amano vazigeno havige huno, A'o kizana ore nogenka nehane, huno higeno Anumzamo huno, A'o kagra kiza re'nane.
USara wesaba, yikho waqamba amanga wathi, “Kangizange ngihleke mina.” Kodwa wathi, “Ye, uhlekile.”
16 Ana tagufa vahe'mo'za oti'za vunaku nehu'za, Sodomu kuma me'nea kaziga zamavurga negageno (Abrahamu kantega ome zamatreteno enaku nevigeno),
Amadoda asuka ahamba aqonda eSodoma, u-Abhrahama wawaphelekezela ukuwakhupha.
17 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Menima hunaku'ma nehua zana Abrahamu avurera eri frara okisue.
UThixo wasesithi, “Ngimfihlele yini u-Abhrahama lokho esengizakwenza na?
18 Tamage huno Abrahamumpinti tusi'a hankavenentake vahe fore hu'za kuma ante'za manigahaze. Kokankoka mika kumate vahe'mo'za agripinti asomura erigahaze.
Ngempela u-Abhrahama uzakuba yisizwe esikhulu esilamandla, njalo zonke izizwe zomhlaba zizabusiswa ngaye.
19 Nagra Abrahamuna huhamprinte'noankino mofavre'ane, agehe'ine huvempa keni'a rempi huzamisige'za, mani fatgo hu'za nemaniza fatgoma huno refkoma hu avu'ava zana nehu'za Ra Anumzamo'na kante vanazegu huhamprinte'noe.
Ngoba sengimkhethile, ukuze aqondise abantwabakhe lomuzi wakhe, yena esedlule, ukugcina indlela kaThixo ngokwenza okulungileyo lokuqondileyo, ukuze uThixo amenzele u-Abhrahama lokho amthembise khona.”
20 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Sodomune Gomora vahe'mokizmia tusi'a kumizmimofo kezanke antahue, hankino kumi'zmimo'a tusi'a zampi mareri'ne.
UThixo wasesithi kuye, “Insolo ngeSodoma leGomora inkulu kakhulu njalo isono sakhona siyesabeka
21 E'ina hu'nagu kumi zmimofo zamagenkema antahi'noa zana tamagefi, urami'na ome zamage'na antahina hanue.
okokuthi sengizakuya khona ngiyebona ingabe lokho abakwenzileyo kubi okulingana lensolo le esifikile kimi. Nxa kungenjalo, ngizakwazi.”
22 Anage nehige'ne tare netremokea rukrahe hu'ne Sodomu kaziga vu'na'e. Nevakeno Abrahamu'a anante Ra Anumzamo'ene oti'ne.
Amadoda akhangela phambili aqonda eSodoma, kodwa u-Abhrahama wasala emi phambi kukaThixo.
23 Hagi Abrahamu'a erava'o huno Ra Anumzamofona anage huno antahige'ne, Ana kumapima fatgo vahe'ene, hazenke vahe'ene mani'nazana ana maka zamahe fanane hugahano?
Ngakho u-Abhrahama waya kuye wathi: “Uzabhubhisa abalungileyo kanye lababi na?
24 Hagi 50'a ana kumapima fatgo vahe'ma mani'nesazana, ana 50'a fatgo vahera zamahoke henka ana kumara zamahe fanane osugahano?
Pho nxa kukhona abangamatshumi amahlanu kulelodolobho ke? Ngempela uzalikhucula na ungalixoleli ngenxa yabangamatshumi amahlanu abalungileyo abakulo na?
25 E'i kagri kavu kvara omane'neankinka, havi vahe'ene fatgo vahe'enema zamahe fanane hananke'za havi vahe'ene, fatgo vahe'mo'zanena mago'zahu knazana e'origahaze. Mika mopafi vahe'mota mago'zanke hunka Kagra refko hunerantane.
Akube khatshana lawe ukwenza into enjalo, ukubulala abalungileyo lababi. Kakube khatshana lawe lokho! Kambe uMahluleli womhlaba wonke kayikwenza okufaneleyo na?”
26 Higeno Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Nagra'ma kesugeno'ma 50'a fatgo vahe'ma Sodomu ran kumapima mani'nesazana, ana mika rankumara zamagriku hu'na zamahe fanane osugahue.
UThixo wathi, “Nxa ngifumana abangamatshumi amahlanu abalungileyo edolobheni laseSodoma, ngizalixolela lonke idolobho ngenxa yabo.”
27 Anante Abrahamu'a mago'ane antahigeno, Nagra kugusopage hu'na tanefake vahe'mo'na Ra Anumzamokane naneke nehue.
U-Abhrahama waphinda wakhuluma njalo wathi: “Njengoba sengibe lesibindi esingaka sokukhuluma loThixo, loba ngingasulutho mina, ngiluthuli nje lomlotha,
28 Hagi 50'a fatgo vahe mani'nesafinti 5fu'a vahe'ma omanisnagenka, knare ama ana mika rankumara zamazeri havizana hugahampi? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a ete ke nona'a amanage hu'ne, Kesugenoma 45'a fatgo vahe'ma mani'nesage'na Nagra zamazeri havizana osugahue.
pho nxa inani labalungileyo lingaphansi ngabahlanu ematshumini amahlanu? Uzalibhubhisa idolobho lonke ngenxa yabantu abahlanu na?” Wathi, “Ngingafumana abangamatshumi amane lanhlanu kangiyikulibhubhisa.”
29 Higeno Abrahamu'a mago'ene antahige'no, 40'a fatgo vahe mani'nesagenka knare zamahe fanane hugahano? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a ete ke nona'a hunteno, Kesugeno 40'a fatgo vahe'ma mani'nesage'na, Nagra zamazeri havizana osugahue.
Waphinda njalo wakhuluma laye wathi, “Nxa kufunyanwa amatshumi amane kuphela-ke?” Yena wathi, “Ngenxa yabangamatshumi amane kangizukukwenza.”
30 Hagi Abrahamu'a mago'ane amanage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamoka mago'ane kea hugahuanki krimpa aheonanto, 30'a fatgo vahe mani'nesagenka knare zamazeri havizana hugahano? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a ke nona'a amanage hu'ne, Kesugeno'ma 30'a fatgo vahe'ma mani'nesage'na, Nagra zamazeri havizana osugahue.
Ngakho wasesithi, “UThixo makangathukutheli, kodwa ake ngikhulume. Kungafunyanwa khona amatshumi amathathu ke?” Waphendula wathi, “Kangizukukwenza ngingafumana khona amatshumi amathathu.”
31 Higeno Abrahamu'a mago'ene hanave e'nerino Ra Anumzamofo antahige'ne, 20'a fatgo vahe'ma mani'nesagenka knare zamahe fanane hugahano? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a kenona'a amanage hu'ne, Kesugenoma 20'a fatgo vahe'ma mani'nesage'na Nagra zamazeri havizana osugahue.
U-Abhrahama wathi, “Kambe njengoba ngibe lesibindi esingaka ngaze ngakhuluma loThixo, pho nxa kufunyanwa abangamatshumi amabili khona kuphela-ke?” Wathi, “Ngenxa yabangamatshumi amabili kangiyikulibhubhisa.”
32 Higeno Abrahamu'a anage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamoka mago'ene kantahigegahuanki krimpa aheonanto, 10ni'a fatgo vahe'ma mani'nesagenka knare zamahe fanane hugahano? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a ke nona'a amanage hu'ne, Kesanugenoma 10ni'a fatgo vahe'ma mani'nesage'na Nagra zamazeri havizana osugahue.
Waphinda wathi, “UThixo angathukutheli, kodwa ake ngikhulume kanye kuphela njalo. Kambe nxa kungafunyanwa itshumi lodwa-ke?” Waphendula wathi, “Ngenxa yabalitshumi kangiyikulibhubhisa.”
33 Hagi Anumzamo'ma Abrahamu'ene keaga huvagama nereno'a atreno vigeno, Abrahamu'a kuma'arega ete vu'ne.
Kwathi uThixo eseqedile ukukhuluma lo-Abhrahama wasuka, lo-Abhrahama wabuyela ngekhaya.
