< UGenesisi 19 >
1 Ingilosi ezimbili zasezifika eSodoma sekuhlwile. LoLothi wayehlezi esangweni leSodoma. Kwathi uLothi ezibona, wasukuma ukuzihlangabeza, wathi mbo ngobuso emhlabathini;
Tare ankero tremoke kinagasegeke Sodomu kumate uhanati'na'e. Loti'a ana ra kumamofo kasante mani'nege'ne ome ke'na'e. Hanki Loti'a neznageno otino vuno zanagafi upari huno, arena ome nereno amanage hu'ne.
2 wasesithi: Khangelani-ke makhosi ami, ngicela liphendukele endlini yenceku yenu, lilale ubusuku, ligeze inyawo zenu, beselivuka ngovivi, lihambe indlela yenu. Zathi-ke: Hatshi, kodwa sizalala endleleni.
Muse huranantoanki ranimota'a eri'za vahetani'amo'na nompi marerita tanaga sese hi'o. Nagrane maseteta okina vugaha'e, huno hige'ne zanagra anage hu'na'e. A'o, megi'a kumapi masegahu'e.
3 Wasezincenga kakhulu zaze zaphendukela kuye zangena endlini yakhe; wazenzela idili, wapheka isinkwa esingelamvubelo, zasezisidla.
Hianagi Loti'a hankavetigene agrane vu'na'e. Vakeno noma'afi ra ne'za ome kre neznanteno zo'ore bretia mago'a kre znantegene ne'na'e.
4 Zingakalali, amadoda omuzi, amadoda eSodoma, azingelezela indlu, kusukela komutsha kusiya komdala, bonke abantu bevela ephethelweni lomuzi.
Hagi ne'zana nete'za omase mani'nageno, miko Sodomu kumate nehazavene ranra vahe'mo'zanena Loti nona eme regagi'naze.
5 Asembiza uLothi athi kuye: Angaphi amadoda afike kuwe lobubusuku? Akhuphele phandle kithi ukuze siwazi.
Ana hute'za Lotina ke'za atimi'za, Iga nantu vahe'ma zanavrenkama nonka'afima ante'nana vahera mani'na'e? Zanavre kamategeta znanteta masamaneno.
6 ULothi wasephumela kuwo emnyango, wavala umnyango ngemva kwakhe.
Hazageno Loti'a atineramino amefiti kafana eri negino,
7 Wathi: Ngiyacela bazalwane, lingenzi okubi.
anage hu'ne, Muse hurmantoanki nafuheta kefo avu'ava zana huoznantegahaze.
8 Khangelani-ke, ngilamadodakazi amabili, angakazi indoda; ake ngilikhuphele wona, beselisenza kuwo njengokuhle emehlweni enu; kodwa kulamadoda lingenzi lutho, ngoba yikho engene emthunzini wophahla lwami.
Kama antahiho, mofani'amokea vene omase mofatre manina'anki, zanagri zanavre'na eme tami'nena tamavesinia zama hunaku'ma hanuta anara huznantegahaze. Hagi muse (plis) hurmantoanki nantu vahe'ma noni'afima emanina'ana zanagrira mago'zana huoznantegahaze.
9 Kodwa athi: Xekela le. Athi njalo: Yena lo yedwa wafika engowezizwe, kambe ngeqiniso angaba ngumahluleli? Khathesi sizakwenza okubi kuwe okwedlula wona. Acindezela kakhulu indoda uLothi, asondela ukuze afohloze isivalo.
Huno nehige'za zamagra anage hu'naze, Kagra manigano! Ru kazigati vahe'moka tagrikura nehananki, hago kagra refko hurante'za nehampi, kagrira kazeri havizantfa hugahune. Lotina atufe'za kafama'are eme rentrako hu'za kafana anafe hu'za ufre'za hu'naze.
10 Kodwa lawomadoda elula isandla sawo, amngenisa uLothi kuwo endlini, avala umnyango.
Ana netremokea Lotina avazuhu nompinka nente'ne, kafana erigi'na'e.
11 Asetshaya amadoda ayesemnyango wendlu ngobuphofu, kusukela komncinyane kusiya komkhulu, aze adinwa yikudinga umnyango.
Maka vene'nema no kasante'ma oti'naza vahe'mokizmia zanagra ositeti vuno rante vu'nea nagara zamavurga erisu hige'za impane eneri'za, kafanku hakre'za vu'za e'za hu'naze.
12 Amadoda asesithi kuLothi: Useselobani lapha? Umkhwenyana lamadodana akho lamadodakazi akho, laye wonke olaye emzini, mkhuphe kulindawo,
Anama nehazage'ne ana netremokea amanage huke Lotina antahige'na'e, Ama kumapina vaheka'a mago'a mani'nazo? Ne'mofaka'ane, neganemone, ruga'a vaheka'ane zamavarenka amafintira ko viho.
13 ngoba sizabhubhisa lindawo, ngoba isikhalo sabo sikhulu phambi kweNkosi; njalo iNkosi isithumile ukuthi siyibhubhise.
Ama kumara eri haviza hugahu'e. Zamagenkemo'a Ra Anumzamofonte marerigeno Ra Anumzamo'a ama rankumara omeri haviza hi'o huno hurantegeta e'no'e'.
14 ULothi wasephuma, wakhuluma labakhwenyana bakhe ababezathatha amadodakazi akhe, wathi: Sukumani liphume kulindawo; ngoba iNkosi izabhubhisa umuzi. Kodwa waba njengosomayo emehlweni abakhwenyana bakhe.
Anagema hakeno'a mofa'amoke arave hugahaze hu'za huhampri znante'naza ne'trente Loti'a vuno amanage huno ome zanasami'ne, Anumzamo'a ama kumara ahe fanane huku nehianki otinketa ama kura atreta vamaneno, huno hige'ne, reravatga nehunka taginke nehane nehu'ne kiza re'na'e.
15 Kwathi emadabukakusa, ingilosi zamcindezela uLothi, zisithi: Suka, uthathe umkakho lamadodakazi akho womabili atholakalayo, hlezi ubhujiswe ebubini bomuzi.
Ko'atu afu'za rugeka nehigeno ankero netremokea amanage huke asami'na'e, Lotiga ame' hunka mofaka'ararene, negnarone zamavarenka vuo. Amafi vahe knaza mani'neta erizanku freta viho.
16 Kodwa esazilazila, amadoda abamba isandla sakhe, lesandla somkakhe, lesandla samadodakazi akhe womabili, ngoba iNkosi ilomusa kuye, asemkhupha, ambeka ngaphandle komuzi.
Hianagi Loti'a tare agesa nentahige'ne, ana netremokea Lotine, nenarone, mofa'ararene zamazante zamavazu huke, ana kumapinti vu'ne fegi'a ome zamatre'na'e. Anumzamo'a asuntaginte'negu huno Lotina anara hunte'ne.
17 Kwasekusithi esebakhuphele ngaphandle, yathi: Baleka ngenxa yempilo yakho, ungakhangeli ngemva kwakho, ungemi egcekeni lonke; balekela entabeni hlezi ubhujiswe.
Fegiama atiramitageno'a, mago ankeromo huno, Frisagi ko' atreta freho! Magore huta rukrahera huta onkeho, ama agupomofo tvaontera omanita agonarega mareriho. Anama osanuta tamagranena frigahaze.
18 ULothi wasesithi kuwo: Kakungabi njalo, Nkosi yami.
Hianagi Loti'a amanage hu'ne, A'o! Ranimota'a keke huranantonki, anara osugahie!
19 Khangela-ke, inceku yakho ithole umusa emehlweni akho, ukhulisile isihawu sakho, osenze kimi, ukugcina uphila umphefumulo wami; kodwa mina ngingeke ngiphephele entabeni, hlezi ububi bunamathele kimi, besengisifa.
Hanki antahio, eri'za vahekamo'na nagu'nevazinka, nahoke nehenka navrenka eme natrane. Hianagi agonamo'a afete me'neankina ovu'nenugeno knazamo'a nazeri haviza hanige'na, ama ana vahe'ene frigahue.
20 Khangela-ke, lumuzi useduze ukubalekela kuwo; futhi umncinyane. Ngicela ngibalekele kuwo (kambe kawumncinyane?) lomphefumulo wami uphile.
Hagi ko, antu onensa kumara tava'onte me'neanki, natrege'na ana osi kumapi fre'na umani'nena, ana knazana agatera'neno.
21 Yasisithi kuye: Khangela, ngibemukele ubuso bakho lakulolu udaba, ukuze ngingawuchithi umuzi okhulume ngawo.
Higeno ankeromo'a huno, Knareki mago'ene nantahiganke'na keka'a antahigamuankina kema hana osi kumara eri havizana osugahuanki traginka ana kumapi vuo.
22 Phangisa, balekela kuwo; ngoba ngingeze ngenza ulutho uze ufike kuwo. Ngakho babiza ibizo lomuzi ngokuthi yiZowari.
Ame hunka mago'zama osunesure ana kumate vuo. Ana hu'negu ana osi kuma'mofo agi'a Zoari hu'naze.
23 Ilanga laseliphumile phezu komhlaba lapho uLothi engena eZowari.
Hagi Loti'a Zoari kumate uhanatigeno zage hanatino rumasa hu'ne.
24 INkosi yasinisa phezu kweSodoma laphezu kweGomora isibabule lomlilo, kuvela eNkosini kuvela emazulwini.
Ana higeno Ra Anumzamo'a tevene, teve nerea salfa haverami monafinti herafitregeno ko'ma riaza huno Sodomu kumate'ene Gomora kumate erami'ne.
25 Yasibhubhisa leyomizi legceke lonke, labo bonke ababehlala emizini, lokuhlumayo komhlaba.
Ana huno ana maka ranra kuma'ene, ranra kuma agu'afi mani'naza vahe'ene, hozane, trazane, mopafi nehagea maka'zana ahe fanane huvagare'ne.
26 Kodwa umkakhe wakhangela emuva engemuva kwakhe, wasesiba yinsika yetshwayi.
Hianagi Loti nenaro'a henka ne-eno rukrahe huno ana kumatega negegeno'a, avufgamo'a ruzahe higeno hagemo'ma hiaza huno krage feno anante oti'ne.
27 UAbrahama wasevuka ekuseni kakhulu, waya endaweni lapho ayemi khona phambi kweNkosi.
Abrahamu'a masereti ame nantera otino Ra Anumzanema oti'neno keaga hu'nere vu'ne.
28 Wasekhangela phansi ngaseSodoma leGomora langasemhlabathini wonke wegceke, wabona, njalo khangela, intuthu yathunqa emhlabeni njengentuthu yesithando.
Vuno unemanino ke fenkamu teno Sodomu kuma'ene, Gomora kuma'enema me'nea agupofima keana mago'zana onke'neanki teve kunke ke'ne. Kumo'a tusiza huno marenerino vemagu vemagu nehuno refite vagare'ne.
29 Kwasekusithi uNkulunkulu esebhubhisile imizi yegceke uNkulunkulu wamkhumbula uAbrahama, wamkhokhela uLothi emkhupha phakathi kwencithakalo, mhla ebhubhisa imizi ayehlala kuyo uLothi.
Anumzamo'a ana huno Loti'ma agupofima nemania kumatamima eri havizama nehuno'a, Abrahamu'enema huvempama hu'nea kegu agesa nentahino, Lotina avreno rurega ome ante'ne.
30 ULothi wasesenyuka esuka eZowari, wahlala entabeni, lamadodakazi akhe womabili laye, ngoba wayesesaba ukuhlala eZowari; wahlala obhalwini, yena lamadodakazi akhe womabili.
Zoari kumapi mani'zanku Loti'a koro nehuno tare mofa'arare'ne hage'za agonarega havegampi umani'naze.
31 Endala yasisithi kwencinyane: Ubaba usemdala, njalo kakulandoda emhlabeni ukungena kithi, ngokwendlela yomhlaba wonke.
Umani'ne'za nuna'amo'a ngana'amofona amanage huno asami'ne, Nafati'amo'a ozafa re'ne. Amafi ve erita mofavre kasentesnu'a vahera omanitfa hu'ne.
32 Woza simnathise ubaba iwayini, silale laye sigcine iphila inzalo evela kubaba.
Hagi antahio, tafati'amofona negi ti ami'manenkeno neteno negi nenena nagatimofo zamagi fanane hu'zankura anukita mase'neta, tafati'amofo mofavre kasentesanu'e.
33 Asemnathisa uyise iwayini ngalobobusuku; endala yasingena yalala loyise, futhi kakwazanga ekulaleni kwayo lekusukeni kwayo.
Huno hige'ne ana kenage nafaznimofona hanave ti amikeno neteno, agesa ontahi negi neno mase'negene, nuna'amo'a anteno mase'ne. Anazama ha'ana neznafa'a antahino keno osu'ne.
34 Kwasekusithi ngosuku olulandelayo endala yathi kwencinyane: Khangela, bengilele lobaba ngobusuku obedlulileyo; asimnathise iwayini langalobubusuku, ubusungena ulale laye, ukuze sigcine iphila inzalo evela kubaba.
Nuna'amo'a nefama anteno masegeno komatia nanterana, nagana'amofona amanage huno asami'ne, Hago nagra kenage nerafa'ene mase'noanki meni kenage anahu kna huta hanave ti ami'manenkeno neteno, ete negi nenena anukinka masetegeta, nagati'amofo zamagi fanane huzankura nafati'amofo mofavre tamu'ene huta kasenta'maneno, huno hige'ne,
35 Asemnathisa uyise iwayini langalobobusuku; lencinyane yasukuma yalala laye, futhi kakwazanga ekulaleni kwayo lekusukeni kwayo.
ana hu'ne nafa'zanimofona waini ti amikeno neteno agesa ontahi negineno masenegeno nagana'amo anteno mase'ne. Anazama hiana neznafa'a antahino keno osu'ne.
36 Ngokunjalo amadodakazi womabili kaLothi athatha izisu kuyise.
E'ina nehuke, Loti mofa tremokea nafa'zanimofonteti zanamu'ene hu'na'e.
37 Endala yasizala indodana, yayitha ibizo yathi nguMowabi; lowo nguyise wamaMowabi kuze kube lamuhla.
Kota mofa'mo ne'mofavre kasenteteno, agi'a Moapu'e huno ante'ne, agra Moapu vahe'mokizmi nezmageho'e.
38 Lencinyane layo yazala indodana, yayitha ibizo yathi nguBenami; lowo nguyise wabantwana bakoAmoni kuze kube lamuhla.
Hagi nagana'amo enena ana zanke huno ne' mofavre kasenteno, agi'a Ben-Ammi'e huno ante'ne. Ana mofavrefinti'ma fore hu'nea vahekura Amoni vahere hu'za nehaze.
