Olubereberye 13
1 Bw’atyo Ibulaamu n’ayambuka okuva mu Misiri ye ne mukazi we, ne byonna bye yalina, ne Lutti ne bayingira mu Negevu.
Ngakho u-Abhrama wasuka eGibhithe waya eNegebi, kanye lomkakhe lakho konke ayelakho, loLothi ehamba laye.
2 Mu kiseera ekyo Ibulaamu yalina ente nnyingi, ne ffeeza ne zaabu nnyingi nnyo.
U-Abhrama wayesenothile kakhulu ngezifuyo langesiliva legolide.
3 N’atambula okuva e Negevu n’atuuka e Beseri, mu kifo eweema ye we yali olubereberye, wakati wa Beseri ne Ayi,
Esuka eNegebi wazula lapha lalapha waze wafika eBhetheli, endaweni eyayiphakathi kweBhetheli le-Ayi lapho ayemise khona ithente lakhe kuqala
4 mu kifo we yasooka okuzimbira Mukama ekyoto, Ibulaamu n’akoowoolera eyo erinnya lya Mukama.
njalo lapho ayeqale khona ukwakha i-alithari. Khonapho u-Abhrama wadumisa ibizo likaThixo.
5 Ne Lutti eyagenda ne Ibulaamu naye yalina ebisibo by’endiga n’amagana g’ente n’ab’enju ye nga bangi,
ULothi wayehamba lo-Abhrama, laye wayelemihlambi yezimvu lenkomo lamathente.
6 ekitundu mwe baali nga tekibamala bombi. Obugagga bwabwe bwali bungi nnyo,
Kodwa indawo yayingasoze ibenele bonke nxa babengahlala ndawonye, ngoba impahla yabo yayinengi kakhulu, isala ukuthi bahlale ndawonye.
7 ate nga n’abasumba baabwe bayombagana. Mu kiseera ekyo Abakanani n’Abaperezi nabo baabanga mu nsi omwo.
Kwaba lokuxabana phakathi kwabelusi baka-Abhrama labelusi bakaLothi. AmaKhenani lamaPherizi lawo ayehlala kulelolizwe ngalesosikhathi.
8 Awo Ibulaamu n’agamba Lutti nti, “Tewasaana kubaawo kuyombagana wakati wange naawe, wadde wakati w’abalunzi bo n’abange, kubanga tuli baaluganda.
U-Abhrama wasesithi kuLothi, “Kasingalwi mina lawe, kumbe abelusi bakho labami ngoba siyizinini zegazi.
9 Ensi yonna teri mu maaso go? Leka twawukane. Bwonoolonda oluuyi olwa kkono, nze n’alaga ku luuyi olwa ddyo, bw’onoolaga ku luuyi olwa ddyo nze n’alaga ku luuyi olwa kkono.”
Umhlaba wonke kawukho phambi kwakho na? Kasehlukane. Ungaya kwesokhohlo mina ngizakuya kwesokunene; ungaya kwesokunene mina ngizakuya kwesokhohlo.”
10 Lutti n’ayimusa amaaso ge, n’alaba ekiwonvu kya Yoludaani nga kirungi, nga kirimu amazzi buli wantu nga kifaanana ng’ennimiro ya Mukama; nga kiri ng’ensi ya Misiri ku luuyi olwa Zowaali. Kino kyaliwo nga Mukama tannazikkiriza Sodomu ne Ggomola.
ULothi wakhangela wabona ukuthi lonke igceke laseJodani lalilamanzi amanengi, njengesivande sikaThixo, njengelizwe laseGibhithe kusiya eZowari. (Ngalesisikhathi uThixo wayengakabhubhisi iSodoma leGomora.)
11 Bw’atyo Lutti ne yeeronderawo olusenyi lwa Yoludaani n’agenda ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba; bwe batyo ne baawukana.
Ngakho uLothi wazikhethela lonke igceke laseJodani, wasesuka waya empumalanga. Amadoda la womabili ehlukana:
12 Ibulaamu n’abeera mu nsi ya Kanani, ye Lutti n’abeera mu bibuga eby’omu lusenyi n’atwala eweema ye n’agisimba okumpi ne Sodomu.
U-Abhrama wahlala elizweni laseKhenani, kwathi uLothi wahlala phakathi kwamadolobho asemagcekeni wamisa amathente akhe eduze leSodoma.
13 Abasajja aba Sodomu baali babi era nga boonoonyi nnyo eri Mukama.
Abantu baseSodoma babexhwalile kakhulu, besenza izono ezinkulu kuThixo.
14 Mukama n’agamba Ibulaamu ng’amaze okwawukana ne Lutti nti, “Yimusa amaaso go ng’osinziira mu kifo mw’oli, otunule ku bukiikakkono, ne ku bukiikaddyo, n’ebuvanjuba n’ebugwanjuba;
UThixo wathi ku-Abhrama ngemva kokuba uLothi esesukile kuye, “Phakamisa amehlo akho asuke lapho okhona, ukhangele enhla leningizimu, empumalanga lentshonalanga.
15 kubanga ensi gy’olaba ndigikuwa ggwe n’ezzadde lyo emirembe gyonna.
Lonke ilizwe olibonayo ngizalinika wena kanye lesizukulwane sakho okulaphakade.
16 Ndyaza ezzadde lyo ng’enfuufu ey’oku nsi; omuntu bw’alisobola okubala enfuufu ey’oku nsi, n’ezzadde lyo aliribala.
Ngizakwenza isizukulwane sakho sibe njengothuli lomhlabathi, okokuthi nxa ekhona ongabala uthuli, lesizukulwane sakho sibe lokubalwa.
17 Situka, tambula obuwanvu n’obukiika obw’ensi kubanga ngikuwadde.”
Hamba udabule ubude lobubanzi belizwe, ngoba ngiyakupha lona.”
18 Awo Ibulaamu n’asimbula eweema ye n’agenda n’abeera okumpi n’emivule gya Mamule, ekiri e Kebbulooni, n’azimbira eyo Mukama ekyoto.
Ngakho u-Abhrama wathutha amathente akhe wahamba wayakwakha eduze kwezihlahla ezinkulu zikaMamure eHebhroni, lapho akhela khona uThixo i-alithari.
