UGenesisi 18
1 INkosi yasibonakala kuye ema-okhini eMamre, wathi ehlezi emnyango wethente ekutshiseni kosuku,
Yehowa gaɖe eɖokui fia Abraham esime Abraham nɔ ati gãwo te le Mamre. Le dzomeŋɔli ƒe ɣetrɔ aɖe, esime xexea me xɔ dzo la, Abraham nɔ eƒe agbadɔ ƒe mɔnu.
2 wasephakamisa amehlo akhe wabona, khangela-ke amadoda amathathu emi phambi kwakhe; esewabonile wagijima ukuwahlangabeza esuka emnyango wethente, wakhothamela emhlabathini,
Kasia ekpɔ ŋutsu etɔ̃ gbɔna egbɔ. Etsi tsitre enumake, ƒu du yi ɖakpe wo, eye wòdo dzaa na wo.
3 wasesithi: Nkosi, uba-ke ngithole umusa emehlweni akho, ngicela ungadluli usuke encekwini yakho.
Egblɔ be, “Ne miave nunye la, nye aƒetɔ, ekema migato miaƒe dɔla ŋu yi o.
4 Ake kulethwe amanzi amalutshwana, beseligeza inyawo zenu, liphumule ngaphansi kwesihlahla.
Mina woaku tsi vi aɖe vɛ miaklɔ afɔe, eye miaɖi ɖe eme sẽe le ati sia te,
5 Ngizaletha-ke ucezu lwesinkwa, beseliqinisa inhliziyo yenu, beselisedlula, ngoba yikho ledlule encekwini yenu. Asesithi: Ngokunjalo yenza njengokutsho kwakho.
eye madi nane na mi miaɖu be wòado ŋusẽ mi. Mitɔ vie hafi miagayi miaƒe mɔzɔzɔ dzi.” Amedzroawo ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo; wɔ abe ale si nègblɔ ene.”
6 UAbrahama wasephangisa esiya ethenteni kuSara, wasesithi: Phangisa! Amaseya amathathu empuphu ecolekileyo! Xova, wenze amaqebelengwana.
Abraham ƒu du yi eƒe agbadɔ me, eye wògblɔ na Sara be, “Netsɔ! Tɔ tatalĩ! Kɔ wò wɔ nyuitɔ, eye nàtɔ tatalia wòasu na wo ame etɔ̃!”
7 UAbrahama wasegijimela enkomeni, wathatha ithole elibuthakathaka njalo elihle, walinika ijaha; laphangisa ukulilungisa.
Emegbe la, eƒu du yi nyihawo me, lé nyivi dami aɖe, eye wògblɔ na eƒe subɔla aɖe be wòawui enumake.
8 Wasethatha amasi lochago, lethole abelilungisile, wakubeka phambi kwawo; wema eduze lawo ngaphansi kwesihlahla, asesidla.
Eteƒe medidi o, etsɔ notsi babla kple notsi tsitɔ kple nyilã meme ɖo akɔme na wo. Enɔ atiawo te le amedzroawo gbɔ esime wonɔ nua ɖum.
9 Asesithi kuye: Ungaphi uSara umkakho? Wasesithi: Khangela, ethenteni.
Wobiae be, “Afi ka srɔ̃wò, Sara le?” Abraham ɖo eŋu be, “Ele agbadɔ me.”
10 Yasisithi: Isibili ngizabuya kuwe ngalesisikhathi sempilo; khangela, uSara umkakho uzakuba lendodana. USara wakuzwa esemnyango wethente elalingemva kwayo.
Wo dometɔ ɖeka gblɔ be, “Yehowa gblɔ be, ‘Le ƒe si gbɔna me la, srɔ̃wò Sara adzi ŋutsuvi’” Sara nɔ agbadɔ me le Abraham megbe nɔ nya siawo sem.
11 UAbrahama loSara basebebadala sebelensuku ezinengi; kwasekuphelile kuSara okwendlela yabafazi.
Azɔ la, Abraham kple Sara tsi ŋutɔ, eye Sara ƒe vidziɣi va yi xoxoxo.
12 USara wasehlekela ngaphakathi, esithi: Sengigugile, ngingaba lenjabulo, lenkosi yami isindala yini?
Nu sia na Sara ko nu le ta me, eye wògblɔ na eɖokui be, “Nyɔnu tsitsi abe nye ene nagadzi vi kple srɔ̃nye tsitsi sia?”
13 INkosi yasisithi kuAbrahama: Kungani uSara ehleka, esithi: Isibili lami ngizazala mina sengimdala yini?
Yehowa gblɔ na Abraham be, “Nu ka ta Sara ko nu ɖo? Nu ka ta wògblɔ be, ‘Ɖe nyɔnu tsitsi abe nye ene ate ŋu adzi via?’
14 Kukhona into enzima kakhulu eNkosini yini? Ngesikhathi esimisiweyo ngizabuya kuwe, ngalesisikhathi sempilo, njalo uSara uzakuba lendodana.
Ɖe nane sesẽ akpa na Yehowa? Le ƒe si gbɔna me, abe ale si megblɔ na wò xoxo ene la, Sara adzi ŋutsuvi.”
15 USara wasephika esithi: Kangihlekanga, ngoba wayesesaba. Kodwa wathi: Hatshi, ngoba uhlekile.
Ke Sara da alakpa be, “Nyemeko nu o,” elabena evɔ̃. Ke egblɔ nɛ be, “O! Èko nu.”
16 Amadoda asesukuma esuka lapho akhangela phansi eSodoma; uAbrahama wasehamba lawo ewaphelekezela.
Le esia megbe la, ameawo dze mɔ ɖo ta Sodom, eye Abraham dze wo yome ɖaɖo wo ɖa.
17 INkosi yasisithi: Mina ngingamfihlela uAbrahama yini engikwenzayo?
Yehowa gblɔ le eɖokui me be, “Ɖe maɣla nye ɖoɖowo ɖe Abraham mahã?
18 Ngoba isibili uAbrahama uzakuba yisizwe esikhulu esilamandla; lazo zonke izizwe zomhlaba zizabusiswa kuye.
Eyae azu dukɔ gã aɖe, eye wòahe yayra vɛ na dukɔwo katã le anyigba dzi.
19 Ngoba ngimazile, ukuze alaye abantwana bakhe lendlu yakhe emva kwakhe, besebegcina indlela yeNkosi ukuze benze ukulunga lokwahlulela, ukuze iNkosi imehlisele uAbrahama lokho ekutshoyo ngaye.
Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, metiae be eƒe dzidzimeviwo nanye mawuvɔ̃lawo, ame siwo anye ame dzɔdzɔewo kple nuteƒewɔlawo, ale be mate ŋu awɔ nu siwo katã ŋugbe medo nɛ la.”
20 INkosi yasisithi: Ngoba isikhalo seSodoma leGomora sikhulu, langoba isono sabo sinzima kakhulu,
Ale Yehowa gblɔ na Abraham be, “Mese be Sodomtɔwo kple Gomoratɔwo nye nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo, eye nu sia nu si woawɔ la nye nu vɔ̃ɖi.
21 ngizakwehla-ke besengibona ukuthi njengokwesikhalo sayo esesifike kimi, benzile ngokupheleleyo; kodwa uba kungenjalo ngizakwazi.
Mele teƒe mawo yim be manya ne nya siawo nye nyateƒe alo aʋatso. Ekema manya nu si mawɔ.”
22 Amadoda esefulathele lapho, asesiya eSodoma; kodwa uAbrahama wayelokhu emile phambi kweNkosi.
Ameawo trɔ ɖo ta Sodom, ke Abraham ya tɔ ɖe Yehowa ŋkume.
23 UAbrahama wasesondela, wathi: Kambe uzambhubhisa lolungileyo kanye lomubi?
Tete Abraham te ɖe eŋu hebiae be, “Ɖe nàtsrɔ̃ ame dzɔdzɔewo kpe ɖe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ŋua?
24 Mhlawumbe kukhona abalungileyo abangamatshumi amahlanu phakathi komuzi; kambe uzabhubhisa ungaxoleli indawo ngenxa yabalungileyo abangamatshumi amahlanu abakuwo?
Ne àkpɔ ame dzɔdzɔe blaatɔ̃ le dua me ɖe, ɖe nàtsrɔ̃ du blibo la, eye màkpɔ nublanui le ame dzɔdzɔe blaatɔ̃awo ta oa?
25 Kakube khatshana lawe ukwenza into enjalo, ukubulala olungileyo kanye lomubi lokuthi olungileyo abe njengomubi; kakube khatshana lawe; umahluleli womhlaba wonke kayikwenza ukulunga yini?
Esia masɔ o! Meka ɖe edzi be màwɔ nu ma tɔgbi, awu ame dzɔdzɔewo kple ame vɔ̃ɖiwo siaa o! Nu ka ta nàhe to na ame dzɔdzɔewo kple ame vɔ̃ɖiwo siaa ɖekae ɖo? Eme kɔ ƒãa be màwɔ nenema o! Ɖe xexea me blibo la ƒe Ʋɔnudrɔ̃la mawɔ nu dzɔdzɔe oa?”
26 INkosi yasisithi: Uba ngithola eSodoma abalungileyo abangamatshumi amahlanu phakathi komuzi, ngizaxolela yonke indawo ngenxa yabo.
Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Ne makpɔ ame dzɔdzɔe blaatɔ̃ le Sodom dua me la, ekema mave du blibo la nu ɖe ame dzɔdzɔeawo ta.”
27 UAbrahama wasephendula wathi: Khangela-ke, ngizimisele ukukhuluma eNkosini, lanxa ngiluthuli lomlotha.
Abraham gagblɔ be, “Togbɔ be menye ʋuʋudedi kple afi ko hã la, esi medze nuƒoƒo kple wò Aƒetɔ la gɔme xoxo ta la, ɖe mɔ nam mayi edzi ko.
28 Mhlawumbe kuzasweleka abahlanu kubo abalungileyo abangamatshumi amahlanu; uzabhubhisa umuzi wonke ngenxa yabahlanu yini? Yasisithi: Kangiyikuwubhubhisa uba ngithola khona abangamatshumi amane lanhlanu.
Ne àkpɔ ame blaene-vɔ-atɔ̃ ko ɖe, ɖe nàtsrɔ̃ du la ɖe ame atɔ̃ makpɔmakpɔ ta?” Yehowa gblɔ be, “Ne makpɔ ame dzɔdzɔe blaene-vɔ-atɔ̃ la, nyematsrɔ̃ du la o.”
29 Waseqhubeka elokhu ekhuluma kuyo wathi: Mhlawumbe kuzatholwa khona abangamatshumi amane. Yasisithi: Kangiyikukwenza ngenxa yabangamatshumi amane.
Tete Abraham gayi edzi be, “Ne ame dzɔdzɔe blaene koe li ɖe?” Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Ne makpɔ ame dzɔdzɔe blaene la, nyematsrɔ̃ du la o.”
30 Wasesithi: Ngicela iNkosi ingathukutheli lapho ngikhuluma. Mhlawumbe kuzatholwa khona abangamatshumi amathathu. Yasisithi: Kangiyikukwenza uba ngithola khona abangamatshumi amathathu.
Abraham gblɔ be, “Meɖe kuku, mègana dzi naku wò o; ɖe mɔ nam maƒo nu. Nenye ame blaetɔ̃ koe nàkpɔ le afi ma ɖe?” Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Ne makpɔ ame dzɔdzɔe blaetɔ̃ pɛ ko la, nyematsrɔ̃ du la o.”
31 Wasesithi: Khangela-ke, ngizimisele ukukhuluma eNkosini; mhlawumbe kuzatholwa khona abangamatshumi amabili. Yasisithi: Kangiyikuwubhubhisa ngenxa yabangamatshumi amabili.
Abraham yi edzi be, “Zi ale si medo dzi ƒo nu kple Yehowa ko la, na mayi edzi ko. Nenye ame blaeve koe ɖe?” Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Ekema nyematsrɔ̃ du la o, ɖe ame blaeve mawo ta.”
32 Wasesithi: Ngicela iNkosi ingathukutheli, ngizakhuluma khathesi kuphela; mhlawumbe kuzatholwa khona abalitshumi. Yasisithi: Kangiyikuwubhubhisa ngenxa yabalitshumi.
Mlɔeba la, Abraham gblɔ be, “O, Yehowa, mègado dɔmedzoe o; nya ɖeka sia pɛ koe gale asinye, nenye be ame dzɔdzɔe ewo pɛ ko nàkpɔ ɖe?” Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Ekema le ame ewo mawo ta la, nyematsrɔ̃ du la o.”
33 INkosi yasihamba isiqedile ukukhuluma kuAbrahama; uAbrahama wasebuyela endaweni yakhe.
Esi Yehowa wu nya siawo gbɔgblɔ kple Abraham nu la, edzo, eye Abraham trɔ yi eƒe agbadɔ me.
