< UGenesisi 19 >
1 Ingilosi ezimbili zasezifika eSodoma sekuhlwile. LoLothi wayehlezi esangweni leSodoma. Kwathi uLothi ezibona, wasukuma ukuzihlangabeza, wathi mbo ngobuso emhlabathini;
Ɔsoro abɔfo baanu no duu Sodom anwummere. Na Lot te kurow no pon ano. Bere a Lot huu sɛ wɔreba no, ɔsɔre kohyiaa wɔn kwan. Obuu nkotodwe, de nʼanim butuw fam, nam so maa wɔn akwaaba.
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.
Ɔkae se, “Me wuranom, mesrɛ mo, mommɛsoɛ mo akoa fi na memma mo nsu nhohoro mo anan ho, na monna, na ɔkyena anɔpatutuutu, moatoa mo akwantu no so.” Nanso abɔfo no buae se, “Dabi, mmom, yɛbɛda aguabɔbea.”
3 Wasezincenga kakhulu zaze zaphendukela kuye zangena endlini yakhe; wazenzela idili, wapheka isinkwa esingelamvubelo, zasezisidla.
Nanso Lot kɔɔ so srɛɛ wɔn anibere so nti, wɔne no kɔɔ ne fi. Ɔtoo brodo a wamfa mmɔkaw amfra da no ara, de too wɔn pon ma wodii.
4 Zingakalali, amadoda omuzi, amadoda eSodoma, azingelezela indlu, kusukela komutsha kusiya komdala, bonke abantu bevela ephethelweni lomuzi.
Ansa na wɔbɛkɔ akɔda no, Sodomfo mpanyin ne mmofra nyinaa fi kurow no afanan betwaa ofi no ho hyiae.
5 Asembiza uLothi athi kuye: Angaphi amadoda afike kuwe lobubusuku? Akhuphele phandle kithi ukuze siwazi.
Wɔteɛteɛɛ mu frɛɛ Lot bisaa no se, “Mmarima a wɔbaa wo nkyɛn anadwo yi wɔ he? Fa wɔn brɛ yɛn, na yɛne wɔn nkɔda.”
6 ULothi wasephumela kuwo emnyango, wavala umnyango ngemva kwakhe.
Lot fii adi, too ne pon mu, kohyiaa Sodom mmarima no.
7 Wathi: Ngiyacela bazalwane, lingenzi okubi.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Me nuanom, mesrɛ mo, munni amumɔyɛsɛm a ɛte saa.
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.
Muntie! Mewɔ mmabea baanu a wonhuu mmarima da. Momma memfa wɔn mmrɛ mo, na nea mopɛ biara, moayɛ wɔn. Na saa mmarima baanu yi de, mommfa mo nsa nka wɔn, efisɛ wɔaba me suhyɛ bammɔ mu.”
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.
Dɔm no teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Twe wo ho! Woyɛ hena? Yɛn na yɛama wo baabi atena wɔ ha, na afei de worebɛkyerɛ yɛn nea yɛnyɛ. Yɛne wo bedi no anibere so asen nkurɔfo no.” Dɔm no twiw faa Lot so, na wofii ase bubuu apon no.
10 Kodwa lawomadoda elula isandla sawo, amngenisa uLothi kuwo endlini, avala umnyango.
Nanso ɔsoro abɔfo baanu a wɔhyɛ fie hɔ no pue bɛtwee Lot kɔhyɛɛ fie hɔ, too pon no mu.
11 Asetshaya amadoda ayesemnyango wendlu ngobuphofu, kusukela komncinyane kusiya komkhulu, aze adinwa yikudinga umnyango.
Ɔsoro abɔfo baanu no maa mpanyin ne mmofra a wogyinagyina ɔpon no akyi no ani furafurae, enti wɔanhu ɔpon no koraa.
12 Amadoda asesithi kuLothi: Useselobani lapha? Umkhwenyana lamadodana akho lamadodakazi akho, laye wonke olaye emzini, mkhuphe kulindawo,
Mmarima baanu no bisaa Lot se, “Wowɔ abusuafo bi wɔ kurom ha sɛ ɛyɛ wo nsenom, wo mmabea, wo mmabarima anaa obi foforo bi a ɔyɛ wo ho nipa? Yi wɔn nyinaa fi ha,
13 ngoba sizabhubhisa lindawo, ngoba isikhalo sabo sikhulu phambi kweNkosi; njalo iNkosi isithumile ukuthi siyibhubhise.
efisɛ yɛrebɛsɛe saa kurow yi pasaa. Amumɔyɛsɛm a etia nnipa yi a adu Awurade anim no ano den nti, wasoma yɛn sɛ yɛmmɛsɛe kurow yi.”
14 ULothi wasephuma, wakhuluma labakhwenyana bakhe ababezathatha amadodakazi akhe, wathi: Sukumani liphume kulindawo; ngoba iNkosi izabhubhisa umuzi. Kodwa waba njengosomayo emehlweni abakhwenyana bakhe.
Enti Lot fii adi kɔbɔɔ mmarima bi a wɔahyɛ bɔ sɛ wɔbɛwareware ne mmabea no amanneɛ. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monyɛ no ntɛm, na mumfi kurow yi mu, efisɛ Awurade Nyankopɔn rebɛsɛe kurow yi!” Nanso na saa mmarima yi susuw sɛ ɔredi fɛw bi.
15 Kwathi emadabukakusa, ingilosi zamcindezela uLothi, zisithi: Suka, uthathe umkakho lamadodakazi akho womabili atholakalayo, hlezi ubhujiswe ebubini bomuzi.
Anɔpahema no, ɔsoro abɔfo no hyɛɛ Lot se, “Ntɛm! Ka wo ho, na fa wo yere ne wo mmabea baanu a wɔwɔ ha no fi ha kɔ; anyɛ saa a, wɔde mo bɛfra kurow no, asɛe mo.”
16 Kodwa esazilazila, amadoda abamba isandla sakhe, lesandla somkakhe, lesandla samadodakazi akhe womabili, ngoba iNkosi ilomusa kuye, asemkhupha, ambeka ngaphandle komuzi.
Ɔtwentwɛn ne anan ase no, ɔsoro abɔfo no susoo Lot ne yere ne ne mmabea baanu no nsa, twee wɔn, de wɔn fii kurow no mu asomdwoe mu, efisɛ Awurade huu wɔn mmɔbɔ.
17 Kwasekusithi esebakhuphele ngaphandle, yathi: Baleka ngenxa yempilo yakho, ungakhangeli ngemva kwakho, ungemi egcekeni lonke; balekela entabeni hlezi ubhujiswe.
Ɔsoro abɔfo no yii Lot mmabea baanu no fii kurow no mu ara pɛ, abɔfo no mu baako kae se, “Munguan nnye mo kra nkwa; monnhwɛ mo akyi. Munnnyina baabiara. Munguan nkɔ mmepɔw no so, anyɛ saa a mubewuwu!”
18 ULothi wasesithi kuwo: Kakungabi njalo, Nkosi yami.
Nanso Lot ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Dabi me wuranom!
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.
Mo akoa anya mo anim adom, na moayɛ me adɔe kɛse de agye me nkwa. Nanso me de, merentumi nguan nkɔ mmepɔw no so, efisɛ misuro sɛ anhwɛ a, saa amanehunu yi bɛto me, ama mawu.
20 Khangela-ke, lumuzi useduze ukubalekela kuwo; futhi umncinyane. Ngicela ngibalekele kuwo (kambe kawumncinyane?) lomphefumulo wami uphile.
Hwɛ, kurow ketewa bi bɛn ha. Mesrɛ mo, momma minkohintaw hɔ mmom, na manhwere me nkwa. Kurow no nsua ana?”
21 Yasisithi kuye: Khangela, ngibemukele ubuso bakho lakulolu udaba, ukuze ngingawuchithi umuzi okhulume ngawo.
Ɔsoro abɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ Lot se, “Eye, Mɛpene wʼabisade yi so; merensɛe saa kurow ketewa no.
22 Phangisa, balekela kuwo; ngoba ngingeze ngenza ulutho uze ufike kuwo. Ngakho babiza ibizo lomuzi ngokuthi yiZowari.
Ɛno de, guan kɔ hɔ ntɛm, efisɛ sɛ wunnuu hɔ a, merenyɛ biribiara.” Efi saa bere no na wɔfrɛɛ kurow no Soar a ase ne kurow ketewa.
23 Ilanga laseliphumile phezu komhlaba lapho uLothi engena eZowari.
Bere a Lot duu Soar no, na owia apue.
24 INkosi yasinisa phezu kweSodoma laphezu kweGomora isibabule lomlilo, kuvela eNkosini kuvela emazulwini.
Afei, Awurade maa sufre ne ogya tɔ fii soro, guu Sodom ne Gomora so.
25 Yasibhubhisa leyomizi legceke lonke, labo bonke ababehlala emizini, lokuhlumayo komhlaba.
Saa ɔkwan yi so na wɔfa de sɛee saa nkuropɔn abien ne asasetam no nyinaa. Nnipa a na wɔtete saa nkuropɔn no so ne asase no so afifide nso nyinaa sɛee.
26 Kodwa umkakhe wakhangela emuva engemuva kwakhe, wasesiba yinsika yetshwayi.
Nanso Lot yere twaa nʼani hwɛɛ nʼakyi ma ɔdan nkyene siw.
27 UAbrahama wasevuka ekuseni kakhulu, waya endaweni lapho ayemi khona phambi kweNkosi.
Ade kyee anɔpatutuutu no, Abraham kɔɔ baabi a ogyinaa Awurade anim no.
28 Wasekhangela phansi ngaseSodoma leGomora langasemhlabathini wonke wegceke, wabona, njalo khangela, intuthu yathunqa emhlabeni njengentuthu yesithando.
Ɔmaa nʼani so hwɛɛ Sodom ne Gomora fam ne asasetam no so nyinaa, huu wusiw kumɔnn a abua asase no so te sɛ wusiw a efi fononoo mu.
29 Kwasekusithi uNkulunkulu esebhubhisile imizi yegceke uNkulunkulu wamkhumbula uAbrahama, wamkhokhela uLothi emkhupha phakathi kwencithakalo, mhla ebhubhisa imizi ayehlala kuyo uLothi.
Bere a Onyankopɔn sɛee nkurow a ɛwɔ asase tamaa no so no, Onyankopɔn kaee Abraham, na oyii Lot fii ɔsɛe a ɛbaa nkurow a na Lot te so no mu no.
30 ULothi wasesenyuka esuka eZowari, wahlala entabeni, lamadodakazi akhe womabili laye, ngoba wayesesaba ukuhlala eZowari; wahlala obhalwini, yena lamadodakazi akhe womabili.
Lot ne ne mmabea baanu no tu fii Soar kɔtenaa ɔbodan bi a na ɛwɔ mmepɔw no so no mu, efisɛ na osuro sɛ ɔbɛtena Soar.
31 Endala yasisithi kwencinyane: Ubaba usemdala, njalo kakulandoda emhlabeni ukungena kithi, ngokwendlela yomhlaba wonke.
Da koro bi, ɔbabea panyin no ka kyerɛɛ akumaa no se, “Yɛn agya abɔ akwakoraa, na ɔbarima biara nso nni ha a ɔne yɛn bɛda, sɛnea wɔyɛ wɔ wiase baabiara no.
32 Woza simnathise ubaba iwayini, silale laye sigcine iphila inzalo evela kubaba.
Ne saa nti, ma yɛmma yɛn agya nsa nnom, na afei yɛne no nna, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a yɛnam ne so bɛma yɛn ase afɛe.”
33 Asemnathisa uyise iwayini ngalobobusuku; endala yasingena yalala loyise, futhi kakwazanga ekulaleni kwayo lekusukeni kwayo.
Saa anadwo no, wɔmaa wɔn agya nsa nomee. Na ɔbabea panyin no ne no kɔdae. Lot anhu bere ko a ne babea panyin no de bɛdaa hɔ ne bere ko a ɔsɔre kɔe.
34 Kwasekusithi ngosuku olulandelayo endala yathi kwencinyane: Khangela, bengilele lobaba ngobusuku obedlulileyo; asimnathise iwayini langalobubusuku, ubusungena ulale laye, ukuze sigcine iphila inzalo evela kubaba.
Ade kyee no, ɔbabea panyin no ka kyerɛɛ akumaa no se, “Nnɛra anadwo, me ne mʼagya dae. Saa anadwo yi, ma yɛnsan mma no nsa nnom, na wo nso, wo ne no nkɔda, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a yɛnam yɛn agya so bɛma yɛn ase afɛe.”
35 Asemnathisa uyise iwayini langalobobusuku; lencinyane yasukuma yalala laye, futhi kakwazanga ekulaleni kwayo lekusukeni kwayo.
Saa anadwo no nso, wɔmaa wɔn agya nsa nomee. Na akumaa no nso ne nʼagya kɔdae. Bio, Lot anhu bere ko a akumaa no de bɛdaa hɔ ne bere ko a ɔsɔre kɔe.
36 Ngokunjalo amadodakazi womabili kaLothi athatha izisu kuyise.
Enti Lot ne ne mmabea baanu no nyinsɛnee.
37 Endala yasizala indodana, yayitha ibizo yathi nguMowabi; lowo nguyise wamaMowabi kuze kube lamuhla.
Ne babea panyin no woo ɔbabarima, na ɔtoo no din Moab. Ɔno na ɔyɛ Moabfo agya de besi nnɛ.
38 Lencinyane layo yazala indodana, yayitha ibizo yathi nguBenami; lowo nguyise wabantwana bakoAmoni kuze kube lamuhla.
Akumaa no nso woo ɔbabarima, na ɔtoo no din Ben-Ami; ɔno nso ne Amon mma agya de besi nnɛ.
