Ngizaletha-ke ucezu lwesinkwa, beseliqinisa inhliziyo yenu, beselisedlula, ngoba yikho ledlule encekwini yenu. Asesithi: Ngokunjalo yenza njengokutsho kwakho.
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,
UAbrahama wasephangisa esiya ethenteni kuSara, wasesithi: Phangisa! Amaseya amathathu empuphu ecolekileyo! Xova, wenze amaqebelengwana.
7 nehuno Abrahamu'a agareno vuno bulimaka'afinti anenta afu ome aheno eri'za vahe'a eme amigeno, hantka huno erino ome kre'ne.
UAbrahama wasegijimela enkomeni, wathatha ithole elibuthakathaka njalo elihle, walinika ijaha; laphangisa ukulilungisa.
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.
Wasethatha amasi lochago, lethole abelilungisile, wakubeka phambi kwawo; wema eduze lawo ngaphansi kwesihlahla, asesidla.
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.
Asesithi kuye: Ungaphi uSara umkakho? Wasesithi: Khangela, 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.
Yasisithi: Isibili ngizabuya kuwe ngalesisikhathi sempilo; khangela, uSara umkakho uzakuba lendodana. USara wakuzwa esemnyango wethente elalingemva kwayo.
11 Abrahamuke ozafa tavava rakeno, kafu zanimo'a agaterege'ne. Sera'a mofavre antega osu'negeno avufagamo ampasagigeno mani'ne.
UAbrahama loSara basebebadala sebelensuku ezinengi; kwasekuphelile kuSara okwendlela yabafazi.
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?
USara wasehlekela ngaphakathi, esithi: Sengigugile, ngingaba lenjabulo, lenkosi yami isindala yini?
13 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Abrahamuna asami'ne, Nahigeno Sera'a kizana nereno, tavavamo'na inankna huna mofavrea kasenteku hugeno nehie huno nehie?
INkosi yasisithi kuAbrahama: Kungani uSara ehleka, esithi: Isibili lami ngizazala mina sengimdala yini?
14 Nazamo Ra Anumzamofona amuho huntegahie? Anaga'a kafufina ama ana knare, Sera'a ne' mofavre kasente'nena egahie.
Kukhona into enzima kakhulu eNkosini yini? Ngesikhathi esimisiweyo ngizabuya kuwe, ngalesisikhathi sempilo, 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 wasephika esithi: Kangihlekanga, ngoba wayesesaba. Kodwa wathi: Hatshi, ngoba 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 asesukuma esuka lapho akhangela phansi eSodoma; uAbrahama wasehamba lawo ewaphelekezela.
17 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Menima hunaku'ma nehua zana Abrahamu avurera eri frara okisue.
INkosi yasisithi: Mina ngingamfihlela uAbrahama yini engikwenzayo?
18 Tamage huno Abrahamumpinti tusi'a hankavenentake vahe fore hu'za kuma ante'za manigahaze. Kokankoka mika kumate vahe'mo'za agripinti asomura erigahaze.
Ngoba isibili uAbrahama uzakuba yisizwe esikhulu esilamandla; lazo zonke izizwe zomhlaba zizabusiswa kuye.
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 ngimazile, ukuze alaye abantwana bakhe lendlu yakhe emva kwakhe, besebegcina indlela yeNkosi ukuze benze ukulunga lokwahlulela, ukuze iNkosi imehlisele uAbrahama lokho ekutshoyo ngaye.
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.
INkosi yasisithi: Ngoba isikhalo seSodoma leGomora sikhulu, langoba isono sabo sinzima kakhulu,
21 E'ina hu'nagu kumi zmimofo zamagenkema antahi'noa zana tamagefi, urami'na ome zamage'na antahina hanue.
ngizakwehla-ke besengibona ukuthi njengokwesikhalo sayo esesifike kimi, benzile ngokupheleleyo; kodwa uba 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 esefulathele lapho, asesiya eSodoma; kodwa uAbrahama wayelokhu emile phambi kweNkosi.
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?
UAbrahama wasesondela, wathi: Kambe uzambhubhisa lolungileyo kanye lomubi?
24 Hagi 50'a ana kumapima fatgo vahe'ma mani'nesazana, ana 50'a fatgo vahera zamahoke henka ana kumara zamahe fanane osugahano?
Mhlawumbe kukhona abalungileyo abangamatshumi amahlanu phakathi komuzi; kambe uzabhubhisa ungaxoleli indawo ngenxa yabalungileyo abangamatshumi amahlanu abakuwo?
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.
Kakube khatshana lawe ukwenza into enjalo, ukubulala olungileyo kanye lomubi lokuthi olungileyo abe njengomubi; kakube khatshana lawe; umahluleli womhlaba wonke kayikwenza ukulunga yini?

INkosi yasisithi: Uba ngithola eSodoma abalungileyo abangamatshumi amahlanu phakathi komuzi, ngizaxolela yonke indawo ngenxa yabo.
27 Anante Abrahamu'a mago'ane antahigeno, Nagra kugusopage hu'na tanefake vahe'mo'na Ra Anumzamokane naneke nehue.
UAbrahama wasephendula wathi: Khangela-ke, ngizimisele ukukhuluma eNkosini, lanxa ngiluthuli lomlotha.

Waseqhubeka elokhu ekhuluma kuyo wathi: Mhlawumbe kuzatholwa khona abangamatshumi amane. Yasisithi: Kangiyikukwenza ngenxa yabangamatshumi amane.
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.
Wasesithi: Ngicela iNkosi ingathukutheli lapho ngikhuluma. Mhlawumbe kuzatholwa khona abangamatshumi amathathu. Yasisithi: Kangiyikukwenza uba ngithola khona abangamatshumi 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.

Wasesithi: Ngicela iNkosi ingathukutheli, ngizakhuluma khathesi kuphela; mhlawumbe kuzatholwa khona abalitshumi. Yasisithi: Kangiyikuwubhubhisa ngenxa yabalitshumi.
33 Hagi Anumzamo'ma Abrahamu'ene keaga huvagama nereno'a atreno vigeno, Abrahamu'a kuma'arega ete vu'ne.
INkosi yasihamba isiqedile ukukhuluma kuAbrahama; uAbrahama wasebuyela endaweni yakhe.
