2 Wakabandisha mêsu, kumonaye bantu balume basatu bimane ntanta nende.+ Pakabamonaye, wakumbuka lubilu ku tshibuelelu tshia ntenta mutangile kudibu, kuinamaye panshi.
3 Ke yeye kuamba ne: “Yehowa, bingikala muanyishibue ku mêsu kuebe, ndi nkulomba bua kupitshi muena mudimu webe to.
4 Anyishayiku balue ne ndambu wa mâyi, banoweshawu ku makasa,+ pashishe nuikishe muinshi mua mutshi.
5 Bu munudi balue kudi muena mudimu wenu muaba eu, anyishayiku nnutuadile tshipese tshia diampa bua nupetulule bukole.* Pashishe nudi mua kutungunuka ne luendu luenu.” Ke bobu kuamba ne: “Mbimpe. Udi mua kuenza muudi muambe.”
6 Nunku Abalahama wakaya lubilu ku ntenta kuvua Sala, kumuambilaye ne: “Kolesha! Angata bipiminu* bisatu bia bukula bunefuke, ubusope, ne wenze mampa.”
7 Pashishe Abalahama wakaya lubilu ku tshisumbu tshia nyama, kusungulaye muana mulume wa ngombe muimpe, mutekete. Kumupeshaye muena mudimu wende, yeye kuenza lukasa bua kumulamba.
8 Pashishe wakangata manteka ne mabele ne muana mulume wa ngombe uvuaye mulambe, kutekaye biakudia abi kumpala kuabu. Yeye kuimana ku luseke luabu muinshi mua mutshi pavuabu benda badia.+
9 Bobu kumuebeja ne: “Mukajebe Sala+ udi kuepi?” Yeye kuandamuna ne: “Udi mu ntenta emu.”
10 Nunku umue wa kudibu wakamba kabidi ne: “Bushuwa nempingane kuudi tshidimu tshialua, tshikondo tshia buena etshi; tangila! mukajebe Sala neikale ne muana wa balume.”+ Pine apu Sala uvua ku tshibuelelu tshia ntenta uvua panyima pa muntu au, wenda uteleja.
11 Abalahama ne Sala bakavua bakulakaje, bikale ne bidimu bia bungi.+ Sala ukavua mupite tshikondo tshia kulela.*+
12 Nunku Sala wakatuadija kudisekela, wamba ne: “Meme mumane kukooka nunku ne mukalenge wanyi mumane kukulakaja, nengikale bushuwa ne milowo ayi anyi?”+
13 Nunku Yehowa wakebeja Abalahama ne: “Bua tshinyi Sala mmuseke, wamba ne: ‘Bushuwa nendele nansha munkadi mukulakaje emu anyi?’
14 Kudiku tshintu tshidi tshitambe Yehowa bukole anyi?+ Nempingane kuudi tshidimu tshidi tshilua tshikondo tshia buena etshi, ne Sala neikale ne muana wa balume.”
15 Kadi Sala wakavila, wamba ne: “Tshiena museke to,” bualu uvua ne buôwa. Ke yeye kumuambila ne: “Mmuomu! Wewe udi museke.”
16 Pavua bantu abu bajuke bua kuya, batangile luseke lua Sodoma,+ Abalahama wakaya nabu bua kubashindikija.
17 Yehowa wakamba ne: “Ndiku mua kusokoka Abalahama bualu bundi nkeba kuenza anyi?+
18 Bushuwa Abalahama nealue tshisamba tshinene tshia bukole, ne bisamba bionso bia pa buloba nebibeneshibue* ku diambuluisha diende.+
19 Bualu ndi mufike ku dimumanya bua atumine bana bende ne ba mu nzubu muende badi balua panyima pende dîyi bua balame njila wa Yehowa pa kuenza malu malulame ne makane,+ bua Yehowa akumbaje bualu buvuaye mulaye budi butangila Abalahama.”
20 Pashishe Yehowa wakamba ne: “Muadi udibu badila bua Sodoma ne Amola mmukole menemene,+ ne mpekatu wabu mmupite bunene.+
21 Nempueke bua kumona ni badi benza malu bilondeshile muadi udi mufike kundi. Bikalabi kabiyi nanku, nemmanye bualu abu.”+
22 Nunku bantu abu bakumbuka muaba au, kuyabu batangile ku Sodoma; kadi Yehowa+ yeye wakashala ne Abalahama.
23 Ke Abalahama kusemena, kumuebejaye ne: “Bushuwa wewe neujimije bantu bakane ne bantu babi popamue anyi?+
24 Fuanyikijabi ne: mu tshimenga atshi mudi bantu bakane 50. Dîba adi neujimije ba mu tshimenga atshi kuyi ubuikidila tshimenga bua bualu bua bakane 50 badimu anyi?
25 Bushuwa, wewe kuena mua kuenza nanku to, kushipa muntu muakane popamue ne muntu mubi, bua tshidi tshifikila muntu muakane tshikale tshia muomumue ne tshidi tshifikila muntu mubi!+ Wewe kuena mua kuenza nanku to.+ Mulumbuluishi wa buloba bujima kakuenza tshidi tshiakane anyi?”+
26 Ke Yehowa kuamba ne: “Meme musangane bantu bakane 50 mu Sodoma, nembuikidile tshimenga tshionso atshi bua bualu buabu.”
27 Kadi Abalahama wakamba kabidi ne: “Mfuilaku luse bua muoyo mukole undi ngakula nawu ne Yehowa, panyi muikale lupuishi ne butu.
28 Fuanyikija ne: mu bantu bakane 50 mmupangike batanu. Neubutule tshimenga atshi tshionso bua bantu batanu abu anyi?” Ke yeye kuamba ne: “Meme musanganamu bantu bakane 45, tshiakutshibutula to.”+
29 Kadi wakakula kabidi nende wamba ne: “Fuanyikija ne: mudi bantu bakane 40.” Yeye kuandamuna ne: “Bua bantu bakane 40 abu, tshiakutshibutula to.”
30 Kadi wakatungunuka wamba ne: “Mfuila koku luse Yehowa, kukuatshi tshiji to,+ kadi anyisha bua ntungunuke ne kuakula. Fuanyikija ne: mudi bantu bakane anu 30.” Wakandamuna ne: “Meme musanganamu bantu bakane 30, tshiakutshibutula to.”
31 Kadi wakatungunuka wamba ne: “Mfuila koku luse bua muoyo mukole undi ngakula nawu ne Yehowa. Fuanyikija ne: mudi bantu bakane anu 20.” Wakandamuna ne: “Bua bantu bakane 20 abu, tshiakutshibutula to.”
32 Kuambaye ndekelu wa bionso ne: “Mfuila koku luse Yehowa, kukuatshi tshiji to, kadi anyishaku bua ngakule nansha bua musangu wa ndekelu. Fuanyikija ne: mudi bantu bakane anu dikumi.” Wakandamuna ne: “Bua bantu bakane dikumi abu, tshiakutshibutula to.”
33 Pakajikija Yehowa kuakula ne Abalahama, wakaya,+ ne Abalahama wakapingana kuende.
