4 Babemkhonzile uKedolawoma okweminyaka elitshumi lambili, kodwa ngomnyaka wetshumi lantathu bavukela.
Hookauwa aku la lakou na Kedorelaomera i na makahiki he umikumamalua; a i ka umikumamakolu o ka makahiki, kipi ae la lakou.
5 Langomnyaka wetshumi lane kweza uKedolawoma, lamakhosi ayelaye, batshaya amaRefa eAshiterothi-Karnayimi, lamaZuzi eHamu, lamaEmi egcekeni leKiriyathayimi,
A i ka makahiki umikumamaha, hele mai la o Kedorelaomera, a me ia pu ua mau alii la, a hahau mai la i ka Repaima ma Aseterota Kanaima, me ka Zuzima ma Hama, a me ka Emima ma Sehave ma Kiriataima.

A hoi mai la lakou, a hiki mai la i Enemisepata, oia o Kadesa, a hahau aku ia i ko ka aina a pau o ka Amaleki, a me ka Amori i noho la ma Hazezona-tamara.
8 Kwasekuphuma inkosi yeSodoma lenkosi yeGomora, lenkosi yeAdima lenkosi yeZeboyimi, lenkosi yeBhela eliyiZowari, bahlomisa impi bemelene labo esigodini iSidima,
Hele aku la ke alii o Sodoma me ke alii o Gomora, me ke alii o Adema, a me ke alii o Zeboima, a me ke alii o Bela, oia hoi o Zoara; a kaua aku la lakou me kela poe ma ke awawa o Sidima;
9 emelane loKedolawoma inkosi yeElamu, loTidali inkosi yezizwe, loAmrafeli inkosi yeShinari, loAriyoki inkosi yeElasari; amakhosi amane emelane lamakhosi amahlanu.
Me Kedorelaomera ke alii o Elama, a me Tidala ke alii o Goima, a me Amerapela ke alii o Sinara, a me Arioka ke alii o Elasara; o na'lii eha me na'lii elima.
10 Lesigodi seSidima sasilemigodigodi yengcino; lenkosi yeSodoma leyeGomora yabaleka, yawela khona; labaseleyo babalekela entabeni.
He nui na lua bitumena ma ke awawa o Sidima; hee aku la na alii o Sodoma a me Gomora, a haule iho la ilaila; a holo aku la ka poe i koe ma ka mauna.
11 Asethatha yonke impahla yeSodoma leyeGomora, lokudla kwabo konke, ahamba.
Lawe pio aku la lakou i ka waiwai a pau o Sodoma a o Gomora, a me ka lakou ai a pau, a hele aku la.
12 Amthatha loLothi lempahla yakhe, indodana yomfowabo kaAbrama, asehamba, ngoba wayehlala eSodoma.
Lawe aku la hoi lakou ia Lota, i noho ai ma Sodoma, o ke keiki a ko Aberama kaikuaana, a me kana waiwai, a hoi aku la.
13 Kwasekusiza owayephunyukile, wamlandisela uAbrama umHebheru, owayehlala ezihlahleni zama-okhi zikaMamre umAmori, umfowabo kaEshikoli lomfowabo kaAneri ababelesivumelwano loAbrama.
Hele mai la kekahi o ka poe i pakele, a hai mai la ia Aberama ka Hebera; no ka mea, i noho ai oia ma na laau oka no Mamere ka Amori, ka hoahanau o Esekola, a o Anera: a ua hoolauna pu lakou nei me Aberama.
14 Kwathi uAbrama esezwile ukuthi isihlobo sakhe sasithunjiwe, wahlomisa ayebafundisile, bezelwe endlini yakhe, abangamakhulu amathathu letshumi lesificaminwembili, waxotshana lawo waze wafika koDani.
Lohe ae la o Aberama, ua lawe pio ia kona hoahanau, alakai aku la ia i kona poe kanaka i hoomakaukauia ka poe i hanau ma kona hale iho, akolu haneri a me kumamawalu, a alualu aku la ia lakou a hiki i Dana.
15 Wasezehlukanisa emelane lawo ebusuku, yena lenceku zakhe, wawatshaya, waxotshana lawo waze wafika eHoba, ekwesokhohlo seDamaseko.
Mahele iho la oia i kona poe e ku e ia lakou, oia a me kana poe kauwa i ka po, poipo aku la ia lakou, a alualu aku la ia lakou a hiki i Hoba, aia ma ka lima hema o Damaseko.
16 Wasebuyisa yonke impahla, wasebuyisa loLothi umfowabo lempahla yakhe, labesifazana labo labantu.
Hoihoi mai la ia i ka waiwai a pau, a lawe mai la hoi oia i kona hoahanau ia Lota, a me kona waiwai, me na wahine hoi, a me na kanaka.
17 Inkosi yeSodoma yasiphuma ukumhlangabeza, esebuyile ekutshayeni uKedolawoma lamakhosi ayelaye, esigodini iShave, esiyisigodi senkosi.
Hele aku ke alii o Sodoma iwaho e halawai me Aberama, mahope o kona hoi hou ana mai mai ka luku ana ia Kedorelaomera a me na alii me ia, ma ke awawa o Save, oia ke awawa o ke alii.
18 UMelkizedeki inkosi yeSalema waseletha isinkwa lewayini; njalo yena ngumpristi kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke.
A o Melekizedeka ke alii o Salema, lawe mai la ia i ka berena a me ka waina: oia ke kahuna o ke Akua kiekie loa.
19 Wasembusisa wathi: Kabusiswe uAbrama nguNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, uMnini wamazulu lomhlaba.
Hoomaikai mai la oia ia ia, i mai la, E pomaikai no o Aberama i ke Akua kiekie loa, nona ka lani a me ka honua.
20 Kabusiswe-ke uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke onikele izitha zakho esandleni sakho. Wasemnika okwetshumi kwakho konke.
E hoomaikaiia hoi ke Akua kiekie loa, nana i hoolilo mai kou poe enemi iloko o kou lima. A haawi aku la ia nana i ka hapaumi o na mea a pau.
21 Inkosi yeSodoma yasisithi kuAbrama: Nginika abantu, kodwa uzithathele impahla.
I mai la ke alii o Sodoma ia Aberama, o ke kanaka ko'u, a e lawe oe i ka waiwai nou.
22 UAbrama wasesithi eNkosini yeSodoma: Ngiphakamise isandla sami eNkosini uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, uMnini wamazulu lomhlaba,
I aku la o Aberama i ke alii o Sodoma, Ua hapai aku no au i ko'u lima ia Iehova, i ke Akua kiekie loa, i ka mea nona ka lani a me ka honua,
23 ngithi kangiyikuthatha kusukela kumucu kusiya emchilweni wenyathela, kukho konke olakho! Hlezi uthi: Mina ngimnothisile uAbrama.
Aole au e lawe no'u i kekahi maawe, aole hoi kekahi mea iki o kau, o olelo ae oe, Ua waiwai o Aberama ia'u:
24 Ngaphandle kwalokho kuphela akudlileyo amajaha, lesabelo samadoda ahambe lami, uAneri, uEshikoli loMamre, bona kabathathe isabelo sabo.
O ka mea wale no a ka poe kanaka opiopio i ai ai, a me ka puu waiwai pio a ka poe kanaka i hele pu ai me an, o Anera, o Esekola, a o Mamere; e lawe lakou i ko lakou puu.
