1 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻe toko ua ki Sotoma kuo efiafi; pea naʻe nofo ʻa Lote ʻi he matapā ʻo Sotoma, pea mamata ʻa Lote, pea tuʻu hake ia ʻo ʻalu ke fakafetaulaki kiate kinaua: pea naʻa ne punou ia mo hono mata ki he kelekele.
Izingilosi zombili zafika eSodoma kusihlwa, uLothi ehlezi esangweni ledolobho. Wathi ezibona wasukuma wazihlangabeza wathi mbo phansi ngobuso.
2 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ongo ʻeiki, mo vakai mai, ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoua, mo afe ki he fale ʻo ho mo tamaioʻeiki ʻo nofo ʻi he poōni, pea fufulu ho mo vaʻe, pea te mo tuʻu hengihengi hake pe, pea ō ʻi homo fononga. Pea naʻa na pehē, “E ʻikai; ka te mā nofo ʻi he hala he poōni.”
Wathi, “Makhosi ami, ake liphambukele endlini yenceku yenu. Lingageza inyawo zenu, lilale khona andubana liqhubeke ngendlela yenu ekuseni.” Zaphendula zathi, “Hatshi, sizalala egcekeni phandle.”
3 Pea kole fakamātoato ia kiate kinaua; pea na afe ai kiate ia, ō hū ki hono fale; pea naʻa ne teu ʻena kai, pea taʻo ʻae mā taʻemeʻafakatupu, pea ne na kai.
Kodwa waphikelela kakhulukazi zaze zahamba laye zangena endlini yakhe. Wazilungisela ukudla, wazenzela isinkwa esingelamvubelo, zadla.
4 Pea naʻe teʻeki te na tokoto, mo ʻene haʻu ʻae kau tangata ʻoe kolo, ʻio, ʻae kau tangata ʻo Sotoma, ʻo nau kāpui ʻae fale, ʻae kau mātuʻa mo e talavou, ʻae kakai kotoa pē mei he potu kehekehe.
Zingakayilala, amadoda aqhamuka kuzozonke izindawo zedolobho laseSodoma, amajaha lamaxhegu, ayihanqa indlu.
5 Pea naʻa nau ui kia Lote ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Kofaʻā ia ʻae ongo tangata naʻe omi kiate koe he poōni? ʻOmi ʻakinaua kituʻa kiate kimautolu ke mau ʻilo ʻakinaua.”
Amemeza uLothi athi, “Angaphi amadoda afike emzini wakho lamuhla kusihlwa? Akhuphe eze lapha ngoba sifuna ukulala lawo siwenze abafazi.”
6 Pea ʻalu kituaʻā Lote ʻi he matapā kiate kinautolu, pea tāpuni ʻe ia ʻae matapā ʻi hono tuʻa,
ULothi waphuma wayakhuluma lawo wavala umnyango ngemva kwakhe,
7 Pea ne pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ʻoua te mou fai ʻae kovi pehē ni.
wathi, “Hatshi, bazalwane. Lingenzi linto embi kangaka.
8 Vakai mai, ʻoku ai hoku ongo ʻofefine ʻoku teʻeki ai te na ʻilo ha tangata; ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, ke u ʻomi ʻakinaua kiate kimoutolu, pea mou fai kiate kinaua, ʻaia ʻoku lelei kiate kimoutolu kaeʻoua te mou fai ha meʻa ki he ongo tangata ni; he ko ia kuo na omi ai ki he malu ʻo hoku fale.”
Khangelani, ngilamadodakazi amabili angakaze alale lendoda. Wothini ngiwalethe lapha kini lenze elikuthandayo ngawo. Kodwa lingenzi lutho emadodeni ngoba angaphansi komthunzi wophahla lwami.”
9 Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Tuʻu atu. Pea nau toe pehē, Ko e siana ni naʻe haʻu ia ko e ʻāunofo, pea kuo fie hoko ia ko e fakamaau nai; pea ko eni te mau fai kovi lahi kiate koe, ʻiate kinaua.” Pea naʻa nau feʻohofi mai ʻo tataʻo ʻae tangata ko Lote, pea naʻe meimei maumau ʻae matapā.
Aphendula athi, “Suka endleleni yethu.” Babuye bathi, “Umuntu lo weza lapha njengowezizwe, kodwa khathesi usefuna ukuba ngumahluleli! Wena-ke sizakuthwalisa nzima kulawo.” Babelokhu beminyezela uLothi, bafuqela phambili bezama ukwephula isivalo.
10 Ka naʻe mafao atu ʻae ongo tangata hona nima ʻo toho mai ʻa Lote ki he fale kiate kinaua, pea tāpuni ʻae matapā.
Kodwa amadoda lawo ayephakathi avula adonsela uLothi endlini avala isivalo.
11 Pea na taaʻi ʻaki ʻae kui, ʻae kau tangata naʻe ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale, ʻae siʻi mo e lalahi: ko ia naʻa nau fiu ʻi he kumi ʻae matapā.
Asewatshaya ngobuphofu amadoda ayesemnyango wendlu leyo, amajaha lamaxhegu, asesehluleka ukubona umnyango.
12 Pea pehē ʻe he ongo tangata kia Lote, “ʻOku ai hao kāinga ʻi he potu ni? Ko ho foha ʻi he fono, mo ho ngaahi foha, mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ke maʻu ʻi he kolo ni fetuku mei he potu ni.
Amadoda lawo amabili athi kuLothi, “Bakhona yini abanye olabo lapha abakhwenyana, amadodana kumbe amadodakazi, loba nje omunye edolobheni leli ongowakho? Bakhuphe lapha,
13 He te ma fakaʻauha ʻae potu ni, koeʻuhi kuo hoko ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻa ʻenau tangi ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova; pea kuo fekauʻi ʻakimaua ʻe Sihova, ke fakaʻauha ia,”
ngoba sizayibhubhisa indawo le. Insolo efika kuThixo ngalababantu inkulu kabi okokuthi useze wasithuma ukuthi silibhubhise.”
14 Pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻa Lote ʻo lea ki hono ngaahi foha ʻi he fono, ʻaia naʻe uaifi mo hono ngaahi ʻofefine, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Tuʻu hake, hola mei he potu ni; koeʻuhi ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova ʻae kolo ni;” ka naʻe hangē ia ko ha tokotaha ʻoku luma, ki hono ngaahi foha ʻi he fono.
Ngakho uLothi waphuma wayakhuluma labakhwenyana bakhe, labo abasebethembise ukulobola amadodakazi akhe. Wathi, “Phangisani, phumani kulindawo, ngoba uThixo usezalibhubhisa idolobho leli!” Kodwa abakhwenyana bakhe bacabanga ukuthi wenza amahlaya.
15 Pea pongipongi hake ai, naʻe fakavave ʻa Lote ʻe he ongo ʻāngelo, ʻo pehē, “Tuʻu ʻo ʻave ho uaifi mo ho ongo ʻofefine ʻoku ʻi heni; telia naʻa ʻauha koe ʻi he angahala ʻae kolo.”
Kwathi emathathakusa izingilosi zakhuthaza uLothi zathi, “Phangisa! Thatha umkakho lamadodakazi akho womabili akhona lapha, ngoba lizaqabuka likhukhulwa nxa idolobho selijeziswa.”
16 Pea ʻi heʻene fakatuotuai, naʻe puke hono nima ʻe he ongo tangata, pea mo e nima ʻo hono uaifi, pea mo e nima ʻo hono ongo ʻofefine; naʻe ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova kiate ia; pea naʻa na ʻomi ia kituʻa, ʻo tuku ia ʻi he tuaʻā kolo.
Wathi esatomatoma, amadoda ambamba ngesandla kanye lesandla somkakhe lezamadodakazi akhe womabili abaholela ngaphandle kwedolobho bephephile, ngoba uThixo wayelomusa kubo.
17 Pea hili ʻena ʻomi ʻakinautolu kituaʻā, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Hola ke ke moʻui ai, ʻoua naʻa ke sio ki mui, pe mālōlō ʻi he tokalelei kotoa pē, mole atu ki he moʻunga, telia naʻa ke ʻauha.”
Bonela ukuthi bakhutshwe, omunye wazo wathi, “Balekani liqinise! Lingakhangeli emuva, njalo lingemi ndawo emagcekeni! Balekelani ezintabeni funa likhukhulwe!”
18 Pea pehēange ʻe Lote kiate kinaua, “Ke ʻoua naʻa pehē ʻeku ʻEiki!
Kodwa uLothi wathi kuzo, “Hatshi, makhosi ami, bakithi!
19 Vakai, kuo ʻofeina ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻi ho ʻao, Pea kuo ke fakaongo lahi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻaia kuo ke fakahā kiate au, ʻi hoʻo fakamoʻui au: pea ʻe ʻikai te u faʻa lava ki he moʻunga, telia naʻa hoko ai ha kovi kiate au, peau mate.
Inceku yenu isizuze umusa emehlweni enu, njalo selitshengise umusa omkhulu kimi ngokuphephisa impilo yami. Kodwa ngingeke ngibalekele ezintabeni; ububi lobu buzangifica ngihle ngife.
20 Vakai, mai ko e kolo ni ʻoku ofi ke hola ki ai, pea ʻoku siʻi ia; ʻofa ke u hola ki ai, (ʻikai ko e siʻi ia?) Pea ʻe moʻui ai hoku laumālie.
Khangelani, nanku umuzi oseduze engingabalekela kuwo, njalo mncinyane, wothini ngibalekele kuwo, mncinyane, kawunjalo? Lapho ngizasinda.”
21 Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, kuo u tokanga kiate koe ʻi he meʻa ni foki, pea ʻe ʻikai te u fakaʻauha ʻae kolo ni ʻaia kuo ke kole ki ai.
Yathi kuye, “Kulungile, ngiyasamukela njalo lalesisicelo; kangizukuwubhidliza umuzi okhuluma ngawo.
22 Fakatoʻotoʻo ʻo hola ki ai; he ʻoku ʻikai teu faʻa fai ha meʻa, kaeʻoua ke ke hoko ki ai;” Ko ia naʻe ui ai hono hingoa ʻoe kolo ko ia ko Soa.
Kodwa balekela khona masinyane, ngoba kangiyikwenza lutho uze ufike khona.” (Yikho umuzi lowo wabizwa ngokuthi yiZowari.)
23 Naʻe hoko ʻa Lote ki Soa, kuo hopo ʻae laʻā ki māmani.
Ngesikhathi uLothi efika eZowari ilanga laseliphumile elizweni.
24 Pea naʻe fakaʻuha ʻe Sihova ki Sotoma mo Komola, ʻae makavela mo e afi mei ʻa Sihova ʻi he langi.
UThixo wasenisa umlilo wesolufa etshisayo phezu kweSodoma leGomora, uvela kuThixo usehla emazulwini.
25 Pea ne fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi kolo ko ia, mo e fonua tokalelei kotoa pē, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi kolo, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa naʻe tupu ʻi he kelekele.
Kanjalo wawabhidliza amadolobho lamagceke wonke, labo bonke ababehlala kuwo amadolobho kanye lokumila emhlabathini.
26 Ka naʻe hanga ki mui hono uaifi, ʻi heʻene muimui ʻiate ia, pea naʻe liliu ia ko e pou māsima.
Kodwa umkaLothi wakhangela emuva, waphenduka isiduli setswayi.
27 Pea naʻe ʻalu hengihengi hake pe ʻa ʻEpalahame ki he potu naʻe tuʻu ai ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
Ekuseni kakhulu ngosuku olulandelayo u-Abhrahama wasuka wabuyela endaweni lapho ayeme phambi kukaThixo khona.
28 Pea ne sio atu ki Sotoma mo Komola, pea ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻoe tokalelei, pea ne mamata, pea vakai naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kohu ʻoe fonua, ʻo hangē ko e kohu ʻoe pupuʻa afi.
Wakhangela malungana leSodoma leGomora, malungana lalo lonke ilizwe lamagceke, wabona izikhatha zentuthu ziqonga zisuka phansi, njengomlilo usuka esithandweni somlilo.
29 Pea ʻi he fakaʻauha ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻoe toafa, naʻe pehē ʻa ʻene manatuʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ʻEpalahame, ʻo ne fekau ʻa Lote mei he lotolotonga ʻoe ʻauha, ʻi heʻene fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻaia naʻe nofo ai ʻa Lote.
Ngakho kwathi uNkulunkulu ebhubhisa amadolobho asemagcekeni wakhumbula u-Abhrahama, wamkhupha uLothi enkemenkemeni eyatshabalalisa amadolobho lapho uLothi ayekade ehlala khona.
30 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Lote mei Soa, mo hono ongo ʻofefine ʻo nau nofo ʻi he moʻunga: he naʻe manavahē ia ke nofo ʻi Soa; pea nofo ia ʻi he ʻanaʻi maka, ʻaia mo hono ongo ʻofefine.
ULothi lamadodakazi akhe womabili basuka eZowari bayahlala ezintabeni, ngoba wayesesaba ukuhlala eZowari. Yena lamadodakazi akhe womabili babehlala ebhalwini.
31 Pea pehē ʻe he taʻokete ki he tehina, “Kuo motuʻa ʻeta tamai, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻi māmani ke haʻu kiate kitaua, ʻo hangē ko e anga ʻo māmani.
Ngolunye usuku indodakazi endala yathi kwencinyane, “Ubaba useluphele, njalo kakulandoda lapha engalala lathi, njengoba kungumkhuba emhlabeni wonke.
32 Ke ta fakainu uaine ʻe ta tamai, pea te ta mohe mo ia, koeʻuhi ke ai ha hako ʻi he ʻe ta tamai.”
Kasidakise ubaba ngewayini besesilala laye ukuze silombe usendo lwakwethu ngobaba.”
33 Pea naʻa na fakainu uaine ʻena tamai ʻi he pō ko ia; pea ʻalu ʻae taʻokete ʻo mohe mo ʻene tamai: pea naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ʻene tokoto hifo, pe ko ʻene toetuʻu hake.
Ngalobobusuku uyise bamnathisa iwayini, indodakazi endala yangena yembatha laye. Yena kayibonanga izolala loba isivuka.
34 Pea pongipongi ai, naʻe pehē ʻae lea ʻae ʻuluaki ki he tehina, “Vakai, naʻaku mohe ʻanepō ki heʻeku tamai; pea ke ta fakainu uaine ia he poōni foki; pea ke ʻalu kiate ia ke mo mohe, koeʻuhi ke ai ha hako ʻi heʻeta tamai.”
Ngosuku olulandelayo indodakazi endala yathi kwencinyane, “Izolo ebusuku ngembathe lobaba. Kasimdakise futhi ngewayini ngobusuku balamuhla lawe uhambe uyokwembatha laye ukuze silondoloze usendo lwakithi ngobaba.”
35 Pea naʻa na fakainu uaine ʻena tamai ʻi he pō ko ia foki; pea ʻalu ange ʻae tehina, ʻo mohe mo ia pea naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ʻene tokoto hifo, pe ko ʻene tuʻu hake.
Bamdakisa-ke uyise ngewayini ngalobobusuku njalo, indodakazi encinyane yahamba yayakwembatha laye. Njalo kazange ananzelele ukuthi walala nini lokuthi wavuka nini.
36 Pea feitama ai fakatouʻosi pe ʻae ongo ʻofefine ʻo Lote ki heʻena tamai.
Ngakho womabili amadodakazi kaLothi athatha izisu kuyise.
37 Pea fanauʻi ʻe he ʻuluaki ʻae tama, pea ne ui hono hingoa ko Moape, ko e tamai ia ʻae kakai Moape, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
Indodakazi endala yazala indodana yamutha ibizo yathi nguMowabi: nguye uyise wamaMowabi alamuhla nje.
