Jenesis 19
1 Tare ankero tremoke kinagasegeke Sodomu kumate uhanati'na'e. Loti'a ana ra kumamofo kasante mani'nege'ne ome ke'na'e. Hanki Loti'a neznageno otino vuno zanagafi upari huno, arena ome nereno amanage hu'ne.
Izingilosi zombili zafika eSodoma kusihlwa, uLothi ehlezi esangweni ledolobho. Wathi ezibona wasukuma wazihlangabeza wathi mbo phansi ngobuso.
2 Muse huranantoanki ranimota'a eri'za vahetani'amo'na nompi marerita tanaga sese hi'o. Nagrane maseteta okina vugaha'e, huno hige'ne zanagra anage hu'na'e. A'o, megi'a kumapi masegahu'e.
Wathi, “Makhosi ami, ake liphambukele endlini yenceku yenu. Lingageza inyawo zenu, lilale khona andubana liqhubeke ngendlela yenu ekuseni.” Zaphendula zathi, “Hatshi, sizalala egcekeni phandle.”
3 Hianagi Loti'a hankavetigene agrane vu'na'e. Vakeno noma'afi ra ne'za ome kre neznanteno zo'ore bretia mago'a kre znantegene ne'na'e.
Kodwa waphikelela kakhulukazi zaze zahamba laye zangena endlini yakhe. Wazilungisela ukudla, wazenzela isinkwa esingelamvubelo, zadla.
4 Hagi ne'zana nete'za omase mani'nageno, miko Sodomu kumate nehazavene ranra vahe'mo'zanena Loti nona eme regagi'naze.
Zingakayilala, amadoda aqhamuka kuzozonke izindawo zedolobho laseSodoma, amajaha lamaxhegu, ayihanqa indlu.
5 Ana hute'za Lotina ke'za atimi'za, Iga nantu vahe'ma zanavrenkama nonka'afima ante'nana vahera mani'na'e? Zanavre kamategeta znanteta masamaneno.
Amemeza uLothi athi, “Angaphi amadoda afike emzini wakho lamuhla kusihlwa? Akhuphe eze lapha ngoba sifuna ukulala lawo siwenze abafazi.”
6 Hazageno Loti'a atineramino amefiti kafana eri negino,
ULothi waphuma wayakhuluma lawo wavala umnyango ngemva kwakhe,
7 anage hu'ne, Muse hurmantoanki nafuheta kefo avu'ava zana huoznantegahaze.
wathi, “Hatshi, bazalwane. Lingenzi linto embi kangaka.
8 Kama antahiho, mofani'amokea vene omase mofatre manina'anki, zanagri zanavre'na eme tami'nena tamavesinia zama hunaku'ma hanuta anara huznantegahaze. Hagi muse (plis) hurmantoanki nantu vahe'ma noni'afima emanina'ana zanagrira mago'zana huoznantegahaze.
Khangelani, ngilamadodakazi amabili angakaze alale lendoda. Wothini ngiwalethe lapha kini lenze elikuthandayo ngawo. Kodwa lingenzi lutho emadodeni ngoba angaphansi komthunzi wophahla lwami.”
9 Huno nehige'za zamagra anage hu'naze, Kagra manigano! Ru kazigati vahe'moka tagrikura nehananki, hago kagra refko hurante'za nehampi, kagrira kazeri havizantfa hugahune. Lotina atufe'za kafama'are eme rentrako hu'za kafana anafe hu'za ufre'za hu'naze.
Aphendula athi, “Suka endleleni yethu.” Babuye bathi, “Umuntu lo weza lapha njengowezizwe, kodwa khathesi usefuna ukuba ngumahluleli! Wena-ke sizakuthwalisa nzima kulawo.” Babelokhu beminyezela uLothi, bafuqela phambili bezama ukwephula isivalo.
10 Ana netremokea Lotina avazuhu nompinka nente'ne, kafana erigi'na'e.
Kodwa amadoda lawo ayephakathi avula adonsela uLothi endlini avala isivalo.
11 Maka vene'nema no kasante'ma oti'naza vahe'mokizmia zanagra ositeti vuno rante vu'nea nagara zamavurga erisu hige'za impane eneri'za, kafanku hakre'za vu'za e'za hu'naze.
Asewatshaya ngobuphofu amadoda ayesemnyango wendlu leyo, amajaha lamaxhegu, asesehluleka ukubona umnyango.
12 Anama nehazage'ne ana netremokea amanage huke Lotina antahige'na'e, Ama kumapina vaheka'a mago'a mani'nazo? Ne'mofaka'ane, neganemone, ruga'a vaheka'ane zamavarenka amafintira ko viho.
Amadoda lawo amabili athi kuLothi, “Bakhona yini abanye olabo lapha abakhwenyana, amadodana kumbe amadodakazi, loba nje omunye edolobheni leli ongowakho? Bakhuphe lapha,
13 Ama kumara eri haviza hugahu'e. Zamagenkemo'a Ra Anumzamofonte marerigeno Ra Anumzamo'a ama rankumara omeri haviza hi'o huno hurantegeta e'no'e'.
ngoba sizayibhubhisa indawo le. Insolo efika kuThixo ngalababantu inkulu kabi okokuthi useze wasithuma ukuthi silibhubhise.”
14 Anagema hakeno'a mofa'amoke arave hugahaze hu'za huhampri znante'naza ne'trente Loti'a vuno amanage huno ome zanasami'ne, Anumzamo'a ama kumara ahe fanane huku nehianki otinketa ama kura atreta vamaneno, huno hige'ne, reravatga nehunka taginke nehane nehu'ne kiza re'na'e.
Ngakho uLothi waphuma wayakhuluma labakhwenyana bakhe, labo abasebethembise ukulobola amadodakazi akhe. Wathi, “Phangisani, phumani kulindawo, ngoba uThixo usezalibhubhisa idolobho leli!” Kodwa abakhwenyana bakhe bacabanga ukuthi wenza amahlaya.
15 Ko'atu afu'za rugeka nehigeno ankero netremokea amanage huke asami'na'e, Lotiga ame' hunka mofaka'ararene, negnarone zamavarenka vuo. Amafi vahe knaza mani'neta erizanku freta viho.
Kwathi emathathakusa izingilosi zakhuthaza uLothi zathi, “Phangisa! Thatha umkakho lamadodakazi akho womabili akhona lapha, ngoba lizaqabuka likhukhulwa nxa idolobho selijeziswa.”
16 Hianagi Loti'a tare agesa nentahige'ne, ana netremokea Lotine, nenarone, mofa'ararene zamazante zamavazu huke, ana kumapinti vu'ne fegi'a ome zamatre'na'e. Anumzamo'a asuntaginte'negu huno Lotina anara hunte'ne.
Wathi esatomatoma, amadoda ambamba ngesandla kanye lesandla somkakhe lezamadodakazi akhe womabili abaholela ngaphandle kwedolobho bephephile, ngoba uThixo wayelomusa kubo.
17 Fegiama atiramitageno'a, mago ankeromo huno, Frisagi ko' atreta freho! Magore huta rukrahera huta onkeho, ama agupomofo tvaontera omanita agonarega mareriho. Anama osanuta tamagranena frigahaze.
Bonela ukuthi bakhutshwe, omunye wazo wathi, “Balekani liqinise! Lingakhangeli emuva, njalo lingemi ndawo emagcekeni! Balekelani ezintabeni funa likhukhulwe!”
18 Hianagi Loti'a amanage hu'ne, A'o! Ranimota'a keke huranantonki, anara osugahie!
Kodwa uLothi wathi kuzo, “Hatshi, makhosi ami, bakithi!
19 Hanki antahio, eri'za vahekamo'na nagu'nevazinka, nahoke nehenka navrenka eme natrane. Hianagi agonamo'a afete me'neankina ovu'nenugeno knazamo'a nazeri haviza hanige'na, ama ana vahe'ene frigahue.
Inceku yenu isizuze umusa emehlweni enu, njalo selitshengise umusa omkhulu kimi ngokuphephisa impilo yami. Kodwa ngingeke ngibalekele ezintabeni; ububi lobu buzangifica ngihle ngife.
20 Hagi ko, antu onensa kumara tava'onte me'neanki, natrege'na ana osi kumapi fre'na umani'nena, ana knazana agatera'neno.
Khangelani, nanku umuzi oseduze engingabalekela kuwo, njalo mncinyane, wothini ngibalekele kuwo, mncinyane, kawunjalo? Lapho ngizasinda.”
21 Higeno ankeromo'a huno, Knareki mago'ene nantahiganke'na keka'a antahigamuankina kema hana osi kumara eri havizana osugahuanki traginka ana kumapi vuo.
Yathi kuye, “Kulungile, ngiyasamukela njalo lalesisicelo; kangizukuwubhidliza umuzi okhuluma ngawo.
22 Ame hunka mago'zama osunesure ana kumate vuo. Ana hu'negu ana osi kuma'mofo agi'a Zoari hu'naze.
Kodwa balekela khona masinyane, ngoba kangiyikwenza lutho uze ufike khona.” (Yikho umuzi lowo wabizwa ngokuthi yiZowari.)
23 Hagi Loti'a Zoari kumate uhanatigeno zage hanatino rumasa hu'ne.
Ngesikhathi uLothi efika eZowari ilanga laseliphumile elizweni.
24 Ana higeno Ra Anumzamo'a tevene, teve nerea salfa haverami monafinti herafitregeno ko'ma riaza huno Sodomu kumate'ene Gomora kumate erami'ne.
UThixo wasenisa umlilo wesolufa etshisayo phezu kweSodoma leGomora, uvela kuThixo usehla emazulwini.
25 Ana huno ana maka ranra kuma'ene, ranra kuma agu'afi mani'naza vahe'ene, hozane, trazane, mopafi nehagea maka'zana ahe fanane huvagare'ne.
Kanjalo wawabhidliza amadolobho lamagceke wonke, labo bonke ababehlala kuwo amadolobho kanye lokumila emhlabathini.
26 Hianagi Loti nenaro'a henka ne-eno rukrahe huno ana kumatega negegeno'a, avufgamo'a ruzahe higeno hagemo'ma hiaza huno krage feno anante oti'ne.
Kodwa umkaLothi wakhangela emuva, waphenduka isiduli setswayi.
27 Abrahamu'a masereti ame nantera otino Ra Anumzanema oti'neno keaga hu'nere vu'ne.
Ekuseni kakhulu ngosuku olulandelayo u-Abhrahama wasuka wabuyela endaweni lapho ayeme phambi kukaThixo khona.
28 Vuno unemanino ke fenkamu teno Sodomu kuma'ene, Gomora kuma'enema me'nea agupofima keana mago'zana onke'neanki teve kunke ke'ne. Kumo'a tusiza huno marenerino vemagu vemagu nehuno refite vagare'ne.
Wakhangela malungana leSodoma leGomora, malungana lalo lonke ilizwe lamagceke, wabona izikhatha zentuthu ziqonga zisuka phansi, njengomlilo usuka esithandweni somlilo.
29 Anumzamo'a ana huno Loti'ma agupofima nemania kumatamima eri havizama nehuno'a, Abrahamu'enema huvempama hu'nea kegu agesa nentahino, Lotina avreno rurega ome ante'ne.
Ngakho kwathi uNkulunkulu ebhubhisa amadolobho asemagcekeni wakhumbula u-Abhrahama, wamkhupha uLothi enkemenkemeni eyatshabalalisa amadolobho lapho uLothi ayekade ehlala khona.
30 Zoari kumapi mani'zanku Loti'a koro nehuno tare mofa'arare'ne hage'za agonarega havegampi umani'naze.
ULothi lamadodakazi akhe womabili basuka eZowari bayahlala ezintabeni, ngoba wayesesaba ukuhlala eZowari. Yena lamadodakazi akhe womabili babehlala ebhalwini.
31 Umani'ne'za nuna'amo'a ngana'amofona amanage huno asami'ne, Nafati'amo'a ozafa re'ne. Amafi ve erita mofavre kasentesnu'a vahera omanitfa hu'ne.
Ngolunye usuku indodakazi endala yathi kwencinyane, “Ubaba useluphele, njalo kakulandoda lapha engalala lathi, njengoba kungumkhuba emhlabeni wonke.
32 Hagi antahio, tafati'amofona negi ti ami'manenkeno neteno negi nenena nagatimofo zamagi fanane hu'zankura anukita mase'neta, tafati'amofo mofavre kasentesanu'e.
Kasidakise ubaba ngewayini besesilala laye ukuze silombe usendo lwakwethu ngobaba.”
33 Huno hige'ne ana kenage nafaznimofona hanave ti amikeno neteno, agesa ontahi negi neno mase'negene, nuna'amo'a anteno mase'ne. Anazama ha'ana neznafa'a antahino keno osu'ne.
Ngalobobusuku uyise bamnathisa iwayini, indodakazi endala yangena yembatha laye. Yena kayibonanga izolala loba isivuka.
34 Nuna'amo'a nefama anteno masegeno komatia nanterana, nagana'amofona amanage huno asami'ne, Hago nagra kenage nerafa'ene mase'noanki meni kenage anahu kna huta hanave ti ami'manenkeno neteno, ete negi nenena anukinka masetegeta, nagati'amofo zamagi fanane huzankura nafati'amofo mofavre tamu'ene huta kasenta'maneno, huno hige'ne,
Ngosuku olulandelayo indodakazi endala yathi kwencinyane, “Izolo ebusuku ngembathe lobaba. Kasimdakise futhi ngewayini ngobusuku balamuhla lawe uhambe uyokwembatha laye ukuze silondoloze usendo lwakithi ngobaba.”
35 ana hu'ne nafa'zanimofona waini ti amikeno neteno agesa ontahi negineno masenegeno nagana'amo anteno mase'ne. Anazama hiana neznafa'a antahino keno osu'ne.
Bamdakisa-ke uyise ngewayini ngalobobusuku njalo, indodakazi encinyane yahamba yayakwembatha laye. Njalo kazange ananzelele ukuthi walala nini lokuthi wavuka nini.
36 E'ina nehuke, Loti mofa tremokea nafa'zanimofonteti zanamu'ene hu'na'e.
Ngakho womabili amadodakazi kaLothi athatha izisu kuyise.
37 Kota mofa'mo ne'mofavre kasenteteno, agi'a Moapu'e huno ante'ne, agra Moapu vahe'mokizmi nezmageho'e.
Indodakazi endala yazala indodana yamutha ibizo yathi nguMowabi: nguye uyise wamaMowabi alamuhla nje.
38 Hagi nagana'amo enena ana zanke huno ne' mofavre kasenteno, agi'a Ben-Ammi'e huno ante'ne. Ana mofavrefinti'ma fore hu'nea vahekura Amoni vahere hu'za nehaze.
Indodakazi encinyane layo yazala indodana, yayitha yathi nguBheni-Ami; nguye uyise wama-Amoni alamuhla nje.
