19 Wasembusisa wathi: Kabusiswe uAbrama nguNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, uMnini wamazulu lomhlaba.
Na akĩrathima Aburamu, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Aburamu arorathimwo nĩ Mũrungu Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno, o we Mũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ.
20 Kabusiswe-ke uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke onikele izitha zakho esandleni sakho. Wasemnika okwetshumi kwakho konke.
Ningĩ Mũrungu Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno arogaathwo, o ũcio ũraneanire thũ ciaku moko-inĩ maku.” Nake Aburamu akĩhe Melikisedeki gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa indo ciothe iria aatunyĩte athamaki arĩa ana.
21 Inkosi yeSodoma yasisithi kuAbrama: Nginika abantu, kodwa uzithathele impahla.
Nake mũthamaki wa Sodomu akĩĩra Aburamu atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nengera o andũ tu, ũrigie na indo ituĩke ciaku.”
22 UAbrama wasesithi eNkosini yeSodoma: Ngiphakamise isandla sami eNkosini uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, uMnini wamazulu lomhlaba,
No Aburamu akĩĩra mũthamaki ũcio wa Sodomu atĩrĩ, “Nĩnyambararĩtie guoko gwakwa na igũrũ na ngehĩta na mwĩhĩtwa kũrĩ Jehova Mũrungu Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno, Mũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ,
23 ngithi kangiyikuthatha kusukela kumucu kusiya emchilweni wenyathela, kukho konke olakho! Hlezi uthi: Mina ngimnothisile uAbrama.

24 Ngaphandle kwalokho kuphela akudlileyo amajaha, lesabelo samadoda ahambe lami, uAneri, uEshikoli loMamre, bona kabathathe isabelo sabo.
Ndingĩĩtĩkĩra kuoya kĩndũ, o tiga kĩrĩa kĩrĩĩtwo nĩ andũ akwa, na igai rĩa andũ arĩa tũrathiĩte nao, na nĩo Aneri, na Eshikoli, na Mamure. Acio nĩmooe rũgai rwao.”
