UGenesisi 13
1 UAbrama wasesenyuka eGibhithe, yena lomkakhe lakho konke ayelakho loLothi kanye laye, waya eningizimu.
Abram tu fii Misraim. Ɔno, ne yere, Lot, nʼagyapade ne ne fifo nyinaa baa Negeb.
2 Njalo uAbrama wayenothile kakhulu, ngezifuyo, ngesiliva, langegolide.
Saa bere no na Abram anya ne ho a ɔwɔ nyɛmmoa, dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ pii.
3 Wasehamba kuzinhambo zakhe esuka eningizimu, waze wafika eBhetheli, endaweni lapho ithente lakhe elalikhona kuqala, phakathi kweBhetheli leAyi;
Ofii Negeb hɔ no, odii atutena ara koduu Bet-El, faako a odii kan sii ne ntamadan a ɛwɔ Bet-El ne Ai ntam no.
4 endaweni yelathi ayelenzile khona kuqala; uAbrama wasebiza ibizo leNkosi lapho.
Ɛhɔ na kan no osii nʼafɔremuka. Ɛhɔ nso na ɔkɔɔ so som Awurade.
5 LoLothi laye, owayehamba loAbrama, wayelezimvu lezinkomo lamathente.
Na Lot a ɔne Abram nam no nso yɛ ɔdefo a ɔwɔ nguan, anantwi ne asomfo bebree.
6 Njalo ilizwe lalingebathwale ukuthi bahlale ndawonye, ngoba impahla yabo yayinengi, ukuthi babengeke bahlala ndawonye.
Esiane sɛ saa bere no na Abram ne Lot nyinaa anya wɔn ho, na wɔwɔ nguan, anantwi ne asomfo pii nti, na wɔnsen asase no so.
7 Kwasekusiba khona ukuxabana phakathi kwabelusi bezifuyo zikaAbrama labelusi bezifuyo zikaLothi. Ngalesosikhathi amaKhanani lamaPerizi ayehlala elizweni.
Na akasakasa taa baa Abram mmoahwɛfo ne Lot mmoahwɛfo no ntam. Saa bere no na Kanaanfo ne Perisifo nso tete asase no so.
8 UAbrama wasesithi kuLothi: Ake kungabi khona ukuxabana phakathi kwami lawe, laphakathi kwabelusi bami labelusi bakho, ngoba singamadoda osendo.
Enti Abram ka kyerɛɛ Lot se, “Mesrɛ wo, mma akasakasa mma me ne wo anaa me mmoahwɛfo ne wo mmoahwɛfo ntam, efisɛ yɛyɛ anuanom.
9 Ilizwe lonke kaliphambi kwakho yini? Yehlukana-ke lami; uba usiya kwesokhohlo, ngizakuya kwesokunene; kodwa uba kwesokunene, ngizakuya kwesokhohlo.
Ɛnyɛ asase no nyinaa na ɛda wʼanim yi? Ma yenni mpaapaemu. Sɛ wokɔ benkum a, mɛkɔ nifa, na sɛ wokɔ nifa nso a, mɛkɔ benkum.”
10 ULothi wasephakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona lonke igceke leJordani ukuthi lalithelelwe kuhle lonke. INkosi ingakachithi iSodoma leGomora, lalinjengensimu yeNkosi, njengelizwe leGibhithe, nxa usiya eZowari.
Lot hwɛɛ ne ho hyiae, huu sɛ asase a ɛda Yordan ho no yɛ asasebere. Na nsu wɔ mu baabiara te sɛ Eden turo mu anaasɛ Misraim asase a ɛda Soar fam hɔ no ara pɛ. Saa bere no, na Awurade nnya nsɛee Sodom ne Gomora ɛ.
11 ULothi wasezikhethela lonke igceke leJordani; uLothi wasesiya empumalanga; basebezehlukanisa omunye komunye.
Na Lot de nʼani kyerɛɛ apuei fam, faa asase a ɛda Yordan ho no. Eyi ne ɔkwan a Abram ne Lot faa so dii ntetewmu no.
12 UAbrama wahlala elizweni leKhanani, uLothi wasehlala emizini yemagcekeni, wamisa ithente lakhe eduze leSodoma.
Abram tenaa Kanaan asase so. Na Lot nso dii atutena wɔ nkuropɔn a ɛwowɔ nsase tamaa no so, na okosii ne ntamadan wɔ baabi a ɛbɛn Sodom.
13 Kodwa abantu beSodoma babebabi babeyizoni phambi kweNkosi kakhulu.
Na nnipa a wɔwɔ Sodom kurow no mu no yɛ amumɔyɛfo a daa wɔyɛ bɔne akɛseakɛse de tia Awurade.
14 INkosi yasisithi kuAbrama emva kokuthi uLothi esehlukaniswe laye: Phakamisa-ke amehlo akho, ukhangele endaweni lapho okhona, ngasenyakatho langaseningizimu langasempumalanga langasentshonalanga,
Lot tew ne ho fii Abram ho akyi no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Abram se, “Afei, ma wʼani so hwɛ atifi fam, anafo fam, apuei fam ne atɔe fam.
15 ngoba ilizwe lonke olibonayo ngizalinika wena, lakunzalo yakho kuze kube nininini.
Mede asasetam a wʼani tua yi nyinaa bɛma wo ne wʼasefo afebɔɔ.
16 Njalo ngizakwenza inzalo yakho ibe njengothuli lomhlaba, kuze kuthi uba umuntu engabala uthuli lomhlaba, izabalwa lenzalo yakho.
Mɛma wʼasefo adɔɔso sɛ asase so mfutuma a obiara ntumi nkan.
17 Sukuma uhambe udabule ilizwe, ebudeni balo lebubanzini balo, ngoba ngizalinika wena.
Sɔre, kɔ na kɔhwehwɛ asase no so nyinaa, efisɛ mede rema wo.”
18 UAbrama wasesusa amathente wafika wahlala ezihlahleni zama-okhi zeMamre, eziseHebroni, wakhela lapho iNkosi ilathi.
Enti Abram tutuu ne ntamadan bɛtenaa odum kwae bi a ɛyɛ Mamrɛ de wɔ Hebron no. Ɛhɔ na osii afɔremuka maa Awurade.
