2 Abhurahama akasimudza meso ake ndokuona varume vatatu vamire naye. Akati avaona, akamhanya achibva pamukova wetende rake kuti andosangana navo uye akakotamira pasi.
Na rĩrĩ, Iburahĩmu aatiira maitho-rĩ, akĩona andũ atatũ marũgamĩte o hakuhĩ nake. Rĩrĩa aamoonire, akĩhiũha akiuma mũromo-inĩ wa hema yake, agĩthiĩ kũmatũnga, na agĩturumithia ũthiũ wake thĩ.
3 Akati, “Kana ndawana nyasha pamberi penyu, ishe wangu, musapfuura henyu muranda wenyu.
Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa, angĩkorwo nĩndetĩkĩrĩka maitho-inĩ maku, ndũkahĩtũke ndungata yaku.
4 Regai muvigirwe mvura shoma, mugoshamba tsoka dzenyu mose uye mugozorora pasi pomuti uyu.
Reke tũũĩ tũnini tũrehwo, na inyuĩ inyuothe mwĩthambe magũrũ na mũhurũke kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩa mũtĩ ũyũ.
5 Regai ndikutorerei zvokudya kuti mudye, kuitira kuti musimbiswe ipapo mugoenderera henyu mberi norwendo rwenyu, sezvo zvino masvika pamuranda wenyu.” Vakapindura vakati, “Zvakanaka, ita hako sezvawareva.”
Na niĩ thiĩ ndĩmũrehere kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa, nĩgeetha mũcookwo nĩ hinya, kuona atĩ nĩmwagĩũka kwa ndungata yanyu, nĩguo mũcooke mwĩthiĩre.” Makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ wega mũno, ĩka o ũguo woiga.”
6 Saka Abhurahama akakurumidza kuenda kutende kuna Sara. Akati kwaari, “Kurumidza, tora zviero zvitatu zvoupfu hwakatsetseka uhukanye ugobika chingwa.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Iburahĩmu akĩhiũha agĩthiĩ hema-inĩ kũrĩ Sara, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Oya ibaba ithatũ cia mũtu ũrĩa mũhinyu wega, ũũkande na ũruge mĩgate naihenya.”
7 Ipapo iye akamhanyira kumombe akandosarudza mhuru yakaisvonaka, akaipa kumuranda, uyo akakurumidza kuigadzira.
Ningĩ Iburahĩmu agĩtengʼera rũũru-inĩ, agĩthuura njaũ njega na njororo, akĩmĩnengera ndungata, nayo ĩkĩmĩthĩnja naihenya.
8 Ipapo akauyisa ruomba nomukaka uye nemhuru yakanga yagadzirwa, akazvigadzika pamberi pavo. Pavakanga vachidya, akamira pedyo navo pasi pomuti.
Ningĩ Iburahĩmu akĩmarehera iria imata na iria rĩa mwĩtha, na nyama cia njaũ ĩyo yathĩnjĩtwo, agĩciiga hau mbere yao. Nake akĩrũgama hakuhĩ nao mũtĩ-inĩ rĩrĩa maarĩĩaga.
9 Vakamubvunza vakati, “Mukadzi wako Sara aripiko?” Iye akati, “Ari mutende umo.”
Maarĩkia kũrĩa makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Sara mũtumia waku-rĩ, arĩ kũ?” Iburahĩmu akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Arĩ kũũrĩa hema thĩinĩ.”
10 Ipapo Jehovha akati, “Zvirokwazvo ndichadzokazve gore rinouya nenguva inenge seino, uye Sara mukadzi wako achava nomwanakomana.” Zvino Sara akanga achiteerera ari pamukova wetende wakanga uri shure kwake.
Nake Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ nĩngooka kũrĩ we rĩngĩ hĩndĩ o ta ĩno mwaka ũyũ ũroka, na Sara mũtumia waku nĩagaciara kaana ga kahĩĩ.” Nake Sara nĩathikagĩrĩria arĩ hau mũromo-inĩ wa hema ĩrĩa yarĩ thuutha wa Iburahĩmu.
11 Abhurahama naSara vakanga vakwegura uye vava namakore mazhinji, uye Sara akanga atopfuura zera rokubereka vana.
Na rĩrĩ, Iburahĩmu na Sara maarĩ akũrũ na magatindĩka mĩaka yao ma, nake Sara akahĩtũkia mĩaka ya gũciara.
12 Saka Sara akaseka mumwoyo make paakafunga achiti, “Ndichazovawo nomufaro uyu here zvino shure kwokuchembera kwangu, vatenzi vangu vakwegura?”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Sara agĩĩthekera, akĩĩyũria atĩrĩ, “Thuutha wa gũkũra ũũ-rĩ, na mwathi wakwa nĩ mũkũrũ-rĩ, no ngĩgĩe na gĩkeno kĩu?”
13 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Abhurahama, “Seiko Sara aseka achiti, ‘Ndichava nomwana zvechokwadi here, sezvo zvino ndakwegura?’
Nake Jehova akĩũria Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũma Sara atheke na eyũrie, ‘Ti-itherũ no ngĩe na mwana ndĩ mũkũrũ ũguo?’
14 Pane chinhu chakaoma kuna Jehovha here? Ndichadzokazve kwauri gore rinouya senguva dzakatarwa uye Sara achava nomwanakomana.”
Kaĩ kũrĩ ũndũ ũngĩrema Jehova? Mwaka ũyũ ũroka-rĩ, nĩngacooka ihinda rĩrĩa rĩamũre, nake Sara nĩagaciara kaana ga kahĩĩ.”
15 Sara akatya, saka akareva nhema akati, “Handina kuseka.” Asi iye akati, “Hongu, waseka.”
Sara agĩĩtigĩra mũno, nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩheenania, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndinatheka.” Nowe Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ma nĩwatheka.”
16 Varume vakati vasimuka kuti vaende, vakatarisa vakananga zasi kuSodhomu, uye Abhurahama akafamba navo achivaperekedza.
Rĩrĩa andũ acio mookĩrire mathiĩ-rĩ, makĩerekera na Sodomu, nake Iburahĩmu agĩtwarana nao amoimagarie.
17 Ipapo Jehovha akati, “Ko, ndichavanzira Abhurahama zvandiri kuda kuita here.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova akĩĩyũria atĩrĩ, “No hithe Iburahĩmu ũrĩa ndĩrenda gwĩka?
18 Zvirokwazvo Abhurahama achava rudzi rukuru rune simba, uye ndudzi dzose dzapanyika dzicharopafadzwa kubudikidza naye.
Ti-itherũ Iburahĩmu nĩagatuĩka rũrĩrĩ rũnene na rwa hinya, na ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia thĩ nĩikarathimwo nĩ ũndũ wake.
19 Nokuti ndakamusarudza kuti agotungamirira vana vake neveimba yake kuti vachengete nzira yaJehovha nokuita zvakanaka nezvakarurama, kuitira kuti Jehovha agouyisa pamusoro paAbhurahama zvaakamuvimbisa.”
Nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩmũthuurĩte nĩgeetha onagĩrĩrie ciana ciake, na nyũmba yake, na arĩa magooka thuutha wake, kũrũmagia mĩthiĩre ya Jehova na ũndũ wa gwĩkaga ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire, na kĩhooto, nĩgeetha Jehova akaahingĩria Iburahĩmu ũrĩa aamwĩrĩire.”
20 Ipapo Jehovha akati, “Kuchema pamusoro peSodhomu neGomora kukuru kwazvo uye chivi chavo chaipisisa
Ningĩ Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũkayo wĩgiĩ Sodomu na Gomora nĩ mũnene mũno, naguo wĩhia wao nĩ mũũru mũno.
21 zvokuti ndichaburuka kuti ndinoona kana zvavakaita zvakanyanya kuipa sokuchema kwakasvika kwandiri. Kana zvisina kudaro, ndichazviziva.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio niĩ nĩngũikũrũka thiĩ nyone kana ũũru ũrĩa mekĩte nĩũigana ikaya rĩrĩa rĩnginyĩire. Na aakorwo tiguo-rĩ, nĩngũmenya ũrĩa ngwĩka.”

Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio makiuma hau magĩthiĩ merekeire Sodomu, no Iburahĩmu agĩtigwo arũgamĩte mbere ya Jehova.
23 Ipapo Abhurahama akaswedera kwaari akati, “Ko, muchaparadza vakarurama pamwe chete navakaipa here?
Nake Iburahĩmu agĩkuhĩrĩria Jehova akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa athingu ũkũmaniinanĩria hamwe na arĩa aaganu?
24 Ko, kana muguta mune vanhu makumi mashanu vakarurama? Muchariparadza zvechokwadi here mukasasiya nzvimbo iyo nokuda kwavanhu makumi mashanu varimo?
Ĩ kũngĩkorwo kũrĩ na andũ mĩrongo ĩtano athingu itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene? Ti-itherũ no ũrĩniine na ndũrĩhonokie nĩ ũndũ wa andũ acio mĩrongo ĩtano athingu marĩ kuo?
25 Zvakadaro ngazvive kure nemi kuti muite chinhu chakadai, kuti muuraye vakarurama pamwe chete navatadzi, muchiitira vakarurama zvakafanana navatadzi. Zvakadaro ngazvive kure nemi! Ko, mutongi wenyika yose haangaiti zvakarurama here?”
Ũroaga gwĩka ũndũ ta ũcio, wa kũũraganĩria arĩa athingu hamwe na arĩa aaganu, arĩa athingu na arĩa aaganu ũmataranĩrie ũndũ ũmwe. Ũroaga gwĩka ũndũ ta ũcio! Mũtuanĩri ciira wa thĩ yothe-rĩ, githĩ ndagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire?”
26 Jehovha akati, “Kana ndikawana vanhu vakarurama makumi mashanu vari muguta reSodhomu, ndichaponesa nzvimbo yose nokuda kwavo.”
Nake Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ingĩkora andũ mĩrongo ĩtano athingu kũu itũũra rĩu inene rĩa Sodomu-rĩ, nĩngũhonokia kũndũ kũu guothe nĩ ũndũ wao.”
27 Ipapo Abhurahama akataurazve akati, “Zvino zvandatanga kudai kuti nditaure kuna Ishe, kunyange hazvo ndisiri chinhu asi guruva namadota,
Ningĩ Iburahĩmu akĩaria rĩngĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Rĩu tondũ nĩngĩĩũmĩrĩirie nginya ndaaria na Mwathani, o na gũtuĩka ndĩ o rũkũngũ na mũhu-rĩ, atĩrĩ,

29 Zvakarezve akataura kwaari akati, “Ko, kana kukawanikwa makumi mana chete?” Iye akati, “Nokuda kwamakumi mana iwayo, handingaiti izvozvo.”
O rĩngĩ Iburahĩmu akĩmwarĩria akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ĩ ũngĩkora andũ mĩrongo ĩna tu kuo?” Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ wa acio mĩrongo ĩna-rĩ, ndikũrĩniina.”
30 Ipapo akati, “Ishe ngaarege kunditsamwira, asi regai nditaure hangu. Ko, kana makumi matatu chete vakawanikwamo?” Iye akapindura akati, “Handingaiti izvozvo kana ndikawana makumi matatu chete.”
Ningĩ Iburahĩmu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathani aroaga kũrakara, no areke njarie. Ĩ ũngĩkora andũ mĩrongo ĩtatũ kuo?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndikũrĩniina ingĩkora andũ mĩrongo ĩtatũ kuo.”
31 Abhurahama akati, “Zvino zvandatsunga hangu kudai kuti nditaure kuna Ishe, ko, kana makumi maviri akawanikwamo?” Iye akati, “Nokuda kwamakumi maviri iwayo, handingariparadzi.”
Iburahĩmu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rĩu tondũ nĩngĩĩũmĩrĩirie nginya ndaaria na Mwathani-rĩ, ĩ kũngĩoneka o andũ mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ kuo?” Nake Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ wa acio mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, ndikũrĩniina.”
32 Ipapo akati, “Ishe ngaarege kunditsamwira, asi regai hangu nditaurezve kamwe chete. Ko, kana gumi chete vakawanikwamo?” Iye akapindura akati, “Nokuda kwaivavo gumi, handingariparadzi.”
Ningĩ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathani aroaga kũrakara no areke njarie rĩngĩ rĩmwe. Ĩ kũngĩoneka o andũ ikũmi kuo?” Nake Jehova agĩcookia, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ wa acio ikũmi-rĩ, ndikũrĩniina.”
33 Jehovha akati apedza kutaura naAbhurahama, akabva, uye Abhurahama akadzoka kumba kwake.
Rĩrĩa Jehova aarĩkirie kwaria na Iburahĩmu, agĩĩthiĩra, nake Iburahĩmu agĩcooka mũciĩ.
