UGenesisi 19
1 Izingilosi zombili zafika eSodoma kusihlwa, uLothi ehlezi esangweni ledolobho. Wathi ezibona wasukuma wazihlangabeza wathi mbo phansi ngobuso.
Ɔsoro abɔfo baanu no duu Sodom anwummere. Na Lot te kurow no pon ano. Bere a Lot huu sɛ wɔreba no, ɔsɔre kohyiaa wɔn kwan. Obuu nkotodwe, de nʼanim butuw fam, nam so maa wɔn akwaaba.
2 Wathi, “Makhosi ami, ake liphambukele endlini yenceku yenu. Lingageza inyawo zenu, lilale khona andubana liqhubeke ngendlela yenu ekuseni.” Zaphendula zathi, “Hatshi, sizalala egcekeni phandle.”
Ɔkae se, “Me wuranom, mesrɛ mo, mommɛsoɛ mo akoa fi na memma mo nsu nhohoro mo anan ho, na monna, na ɔkyena anɔpatutuutu, moatoa mo akwantu no so.” Nanso abɔfo no buae se, “Dabi, mmom, yɛbɛda aguabɔbea.”
3 Kodwa waphikelela kakhulukazi zaze zahamba laye zangena endlini yakhe. Wazilungisela ukudla, wazenzela isinkwa esingelamvubelo, zadla.
Nanso Lot kɔɔ so srɛɛ wɔn anibere so nti, wɔne no kɔɔ ne fi. Ɔtoo brodo a wamfa mmɔkaw amfra da no ara, de too wɔn pon ma wodii.
4 Zingakayilala, amadoda aqhamuka kuzozonke izindawo zedolobho laseSodoma, amajaha lamaxhegu, ayihanqa indlu.
Ansa na wɔbɛkɔ akɔda no, Sodomfo mpanyin ne mmofra nyinaa fi kurow no afanan betwaa ofi no ho hyiae.
5 Amemeza uLothi athi, “Angaphi amadoda afike emzini wakho lamuhla kusihlwa? Akhuphe eze lapha ngoba sifuna ukulala lawo siwenze abafazi.”
Wɔteɛteɛɛ mu frɛɛ Lot bisaa no se, “Mmarima a wɔbaa wo nkyɛn anadwo yi wɔ he? Fa wɔn brɛ yɛn, na yɛne wɔn nkɔda.”
6 ULothi waphuma wayakhuluma lawo wavala umnyango ngemva kwakhe,
Lot fii adi, too ne pon mu, kohyiaa Sodom mmarima no.
7 wathi, “Hatshi, bazalwane. Lingenzi linto embi kangaka.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Me nuanom, mesrɛ mo, munni amumɔyɛsɛm a ɛte saa.
8 Khangelani, ngilamadodakazi amabili angakaze alale lendoda. Wothini ngiwalethe lapha kini lenze elikuthandayo ngawo. Kodwa lingenzi lutho emadodeni ngoba angaphansi komthunzi wophahla lwami.”
Muntie! Mewɔ mmabea baanu a wonhuu mmarima da. Momma memfa wɔn mmrɛ mo, na nea mopɛ biara, moayɛ wɔn. Na saa mmarima baanu yi de, mommfa mo nsa nka wɔn, efisɛ wɔaba me suhyɛ bammɔ mu.”
9 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.
Dɔm no teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Twe wo ho! Woyɛ hena? Yɛn na yɛama wo baabi atena wɔ ha, na afei de worebɛkyerɛ yɛn nea yɛnyɛ. Yɛne wo bedi no anibere so asen nkurɔfo no.” Dɔm no twiw faa Lot so, na wofii ase bubuu apon no.
10 Kodwa amadoda lawo ayephakathi avula adonsela uLothi endlini avala isivalo.
Nanso ɔsoro abɔfo baanu a wɔhyɛ fie hɔ no pue bɛtwee Lot kɔhyɛɛ fie hɔ, too pon no mu.
11 Asewatshaya ngobuphofu amadoda ayesemnyango wendlu leyo, amajaha lamaxhegu, asesehluleka ukubona umnyango.
Ɔsoro abɔfo baanu no maa mpanyin ne mmofra a wogyinagyina ɔpon no akyi no ani furafurae, enti wɔanhu ɔpon no koraa.
12 Amadoda lawo amabili athi kuLothi, “Bakhona yini abanye olabo lapha abakhwenyana, amadodana kumbe amadodakazi, loba nje omunye edolobheni leli ongowakho? Bakhuphe lapha,
Mmarima baanu no bisaa Lot se, “Wowɔ abusuafo bi wɔ kurom ha sɛ ɛyɛ wo nsenom, wo mmabea, wo mmabarima anaa obi foforo bi a ɔyɛ wo ho nipa? Yi wɔn nyinaa fi ha,
13 ngoba sizayibhubhisa indawo le. Insolo efika kuThixo ngalababantu inkulu kabi okokuthi useze wasithuma ukuthi silibhubhise.”
efisɛ yɛrebɛsɛe saa kurow yi pasaa. Amumɔyɛsɛm a etia nnipa yi a adu Awurade anim no ano den nti, wasoma yɛn sɛ yɛmmɛsɛe kurow yi.”
14 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.
Enti Lot fii adi kɔbɔɔ mmarima bi a wɔahyɛ bɔ sɛ wɔbɛwareware ne mmabea no amanneɛ. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monyɛ no ntɛm, na mumfi kurow yi mu, efisɛ Awurade Nyankopɔn rebɛsɛe kurow yi!” Nanso na saa mmarima yi susuw sɛ ɔredi fɛw bi.
15 Kwathi emathathakusa izingilosi zakhuthaza uLothi zathi, “Phangisa! Thatha umkakho lamadodakazi akho womabili akhona lapha, ngoba lizaqabuka likhukhulwa nxa idolobho selijeziswa.”
Anɔpahema no, ɔsoro abɔfo no hyɛɛ Lot se, “Ntɛm! Ka wo ho, na fa wo yere ne wo mmabea baanu a wɔwɔ ha no fi ha kɔ; anyɛ saa a, wɔde mo bɛfra kurow no, asɛe mo.”
16 Wathi esatomatoma, amadoda ambamba ngesandla kanye lesandla somkakhe lezamadodakazi akhe womabili abaholela ngaphandle kwedolobho bephephile, ngoba uThixo wayelomusa kubo.
Ɔtwentwɛn ne anan ase no, ɔsoro abɔfo no susoo Lot ne yere ne ne mmabea baanu no nsa, twee wɔn, de wɔn fii kurow no mu asomdwoe mu, efisɛ Awurade huu wɔn mmɔbɔ.
17 Bonela ukuthi bakhutshwe, omunye wazo wathi, “Balekani liqinise! Lingakhangeli emuva, njalo lingemi ndawo emagcekeni! Balekelani ezintabeni funa likhukhulwe!”
Ɔsoro abɔfo no yii Lot mmabea baanu no fii kurow no mu ara pɛ, abɔfo no mu baako kae se, “Munguan nnye mo kra nkwa; monnhwɛ mo akyi. Munnnyina baabiara. Munguan nkɔ mmepɔw no so, anyɛ saa a mubewuwu!”
18 Kodwa uLothi wathi kuzo, “Hatshi, makhosi ami, bakithi!
Nanso Lot ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Dabi me wuranom!
19 Inceku yenu isizuze umusa emehlweni enu, njalo selitshengise umusa omkhulu kimi ngokuphephisa impilo yami. Kodwa ngingeke ngibalekele ezintabeni; ububi lobu buzangifica ngihle ngife.
Mo akoa anya mo anim adom, na moayɛ me adɔe kɛse de agye me nkwa. Nanso me de, merentumi nguan nkɔ mmepɔw no so, efisɛ misuro sɛ anhwɛ a, saa amanehunu yi bɛto me, ama mawu.
20 Khangelani, nanku umuzi oseduze engingabalekela kuwo, njalo mncinyane, wothini ngibalekele kuwo, mncinyane, kawunjalo? Lapho ngizasinda.”
Hwɛ, kurow ketewa bi bɛn ha. Mesrɛ mo, momma minkohintaw hɔ mmom, na manhwere me nkwa. Kurow no nsua ana?”
21 Yathi kuye, “Kulungile, ngiyasamukela njalo lalesisicelo; kangizukuwubhidliza umuzi okhuluma ngawo.
Ɔsoro abɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ Lot se, “Eye, Mɛpene wʼabisade yi so; merensɛe saa kurow ketewa no.
22 Kodwa balekela khona masinyane, ngoba kangiyikwenza lutho uze ufike khona.” (Yikho umuzi lowo wabizwa ngokuthi yiZowari.)
Ɛno de, guan kɔ hɔ ntɛm, efisɛ sɛ wunnuu hɔ a, merenyɛ biribiara.” Efi saa bere no na wɔfrɛɛ kurow no Soar a ase ne kurow ketewa.
23 Ngesikhathi uLothi efika eZowari ilanga laseliphumile elizweni.
Bere a Lot duu Soar no, na owia apue.
24 UThixo wasenisa umlilo wesolufa etshisayo phezu kweSodoma leGomora, uvela kuThixo usehla emazulwini.
Afei, Awurade maa sufre ne ogya tɔ fii soro, guu Sodom ne Gomora so.
25 Kanjalo wawabhidliza amadolobho lamagceke wonke, labo bonke ababehlala kuwo amadolobho kanye lokumila emhlabathini.
Saa ɔkwan yi so na wɔfa de sɛee saa nkuropɔn abien ne asasetam no nyinaa. Nnipa a na wɔtete saa nkuropɔn no so ne asase no so afifide nso nyinaa sɛee.
26 Kodwa umkaLothi wakhangela emuva, waphenduka isiduli setswayi.
Nanso Lot yere twaa nʼani hwɛɛ nʼakyi ma ɔdan nkyene siw.
27 Ekuseni kakhulu ngosuku olulandelayo u-Abhrahama wasuka wabuyela endaweni lapho ayeme phambi kukaThixo khona.
Ade kyee anɔpatutuutu no, Abraham kɔɔ baabi a ogyinaa Awurade anim no.
28 Wakhangela malungana leSodoma leGomora, malungana lalo lonke ilizwe lamagceke, wabona izikhatha zentuthu ziqonga zisuka phansi, njengomlilo usuka esithandweni somlilo.
Ɔmaa nʼani so hwɛɛ Sodom ne Gomora fam ne asasetam no so nyinaa, huu wusiw kumɔnn a abua asase no so te sɛ wusiw a efi fononoo mu.
29 Ngakho kwathi uNkulunkulu ebhubhisa amadolobho asemagcekeni wakhumbula u-Abhrahama, wamkhupha uLothi enkemenkemeni eyatshabalalisa amadolobho lapho uLothi ayekade ehlala khona.
Bere a Onyankopɔn sɛee nkurow a ɛwɔ asase tamaa no so no, Onyankopɔn kaee Abraham, na oyii Lot fii ɔsɛe a ɛbaa nkurow a na Lot te so no mu no.
30 ULothi lamadodakazi akhe womabili basuka eZowari bayahlala ezintabeni, ngoba wayesesaba ukuhlala eZowari. Yena lamadodakazi akhe womabili babehlala ebhalwini.
Lot ne ne mmabea baanu no tu fii Soar kɔtenaa ɔbodan bi a na ɛwɔ mmepɔw no so no mu, efisɛ na osuro sɛ ɔbɛtena Soar.
31 Ngolunye usuku indodakazi endala yathi kwencinyane, “Ubaba useluphele, njalo kakulandoda lapha engalala lathi, njengoba kungumkhuba emhlabeni wonke.
Da koro bi, ɔbabea panyin no ka kyerɛɛ akumaa no se, “Yɛn agya abɔ akwakoraa, na ɔbarima biara nso nni ha a ɔne yɛn bɛda, sɛnea wɔyɛ wɔ wiase baabiara no.
32 Kasidakise ubaba ngewayini besesilala laye ukuze silombe usendo lwakwethu ngobaba.”
Ne saa nti, ma yɛmma yɛn agya nsa nnom, na afei yɛne no nna, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a yɛnam ne so bɛma yɛn ase afɛe.”
33 Ngalobobusuku uyise bamnathisa iwayini, indodakazi endala yangena yembatha laye. Yena kayibonanga izolala loba isivuka.
Saa anadwo no, wɔmaa wɔn agya nsa nomee. Na ɔbabea panyin no ne no kɔdae. Lot anhu bere ko a ne babea panyin no de bɛdaa hɔ ne bere ko a ɔsɔre kɔe.
34 Ngosuku olulandelayo indodakazi endala yathi kwencinyane, “Izolo ebusuku ngembathe lobaba. Kasimdakise futhi ngewayini ngobusuku balamuhla lawe uhambe uyokwembatha laye ukuze silondoloze usendo lwakithi ngobaba.”
Ade kyee no, ɔbabea panyin no ka kyerɛɛ akumaa no se, “Nnɛra anadwo, me ne mʼagya dae. Saa anadwo yi, ma yɛnsan mma no nsa nnom, na wo nso, wo ne no nkɔda, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a yɛnam yɛn agya so bɛma yɛn ase afɛe.”
35 Bamdakisa-ke uyise ngewayini ngalobobusuku njalo, indodakazi encinyane yahamba yayakwembatha laye. Njalo kazange ananzelele ukuthi walala nini lokuthi wavuka nini.
Saa anadwo no nso, wɔmaa wɔn agya nsa nomee. Na akumaa no nso ne nʼagya kɔdae. Bio, Lot anhu bere ko a akumaa no de bɛdaa hɔ ne bere ko a ɔsɔre kɔe.
36 Ngakho womabili amadodakazi kaLothi athatha izisu kuyise.
Enti Lot ne ne mmabea baanu no nyinsɛnee.
37 Indodakazi endala yazala indodana yamutha ibizo yathi nguMowabi: nguye uyise wamaMowabi alamuhla nje.
Ne babea panyin no woo ɔbabarima, na ɔtoo no din Moab. Ɔno na ɔyɛ Moabfo agya de besi nnɛ.
38 Indodakazi encinyane layo yazala indodana, yayitha yathi nguBheni-Ami; nguye uyise wama-Amoni alamuhla nje.
Akumaa no nso woo ɔbabarima, na ɔtoo no din Ben-Ami; ɔno nso ne Amon mma agya de besi nnɛ.
