3 Baadi ende na kushala mu ma mbalo elekene pabaadi akatuka ku Negebe ende ku Betele, mpa na pabafikile mbalo ibaadi kashibo kaye k’epema kumpala pankatshi pa Betele na Ai,
4 mbalo ibaadi muibakie kumpala kilambuilo. Kuakua Abalama bayitanyine eshina dia Yehowa.
5 Lota baadi ende na Abalama, baadi naye namu na mikooko, ngombe, na tushibo tua mapema.
6 Biabia takubaadi mushindo wa’shi boso bashala pamune yaaya mbalo; bintu biabo bibaadi bifuime biakushibaadi mushindo wa’shi bashala pamune.
7 Pa wawa muanda, kuikakena kubebuele pankatshi pa balami ba nyema ba Abalama na balami ba nyema ba Lota. (Mu aa mafuku, bena Kanaana na bena Perizi abaadi bashale muiumbo.)
8 Abalama nkulungula Lota’shi: “Nakusendeela, t’abitungu kuikale kuikakena pankatshi pande n’obe, pankatshi pa balami bande ba nyema na balami bobe ba nyema, muanda we mukuetu.
9 Eumbo dioso di kumpala kobe. Nakusendeela, elamune kuandi. Su buende ku lupese lubakashi, ami nakende ku lupese lubalume; anka su buende ku lupese lubalume, paapa ami nakende ku lupese lubakashi.”
10 Biabia Lota nkubusha meso na nkumona’shi distrike dioso dia Yordane mpa na ku Soware dibaadi na mema ebungi nka bu efuba dia Yehowa, nka bu eumbo dia Ejipitu (kumpala kua’shi Yehowa abutule Sodome na Gomore).
11 Akupu Lota nkusangula distrike dioso dia Yordane, na nkuenda dia kutunduka nguba. Biabia abo nkuilekena.
12 Abalama nkushala mu nsenga ya Kanaana anka Lota nkushala pepi na bibundi bia distrike. Nfudiilo a bioso aye nkushimika kashibo kaye k’epema pepi na Sodome.
13 Anka bantu ba mu Sodome babaadi bantu babi, na babaadi abakitshi miluisho ikata ku meso kua Yehowa.
14 Yehowa balunguile Abalama kunyima ku’abo kuilekena na Lota’shi: “Busha namu meso oobe kukatukila mbalo yodi, otale dia kunundu, dia kuushi, dia kutunduka nguba na dia kupona nguba,
15 muanda yaaya nsenga yoso y’omono, nakakupa yanka, obe na bekulu* bobe bu yenu bua loso.
16 Na nakekasha bekulu* bobe bu lufufi lua nsenga, bua’shi su kui muntu mulombene kubadika lufufi lua nsenga, paapa bekulu* bobe mbalombene kubadikibua.
17 Ebuee otambakane mu bula na mu buipi bu’eumbo, muanda nakupa dianka.”
18 Biabia Abalama batungunukile na kushala mu tushibo tua mapema. Kunyima bafikile ashala pepi na mitshi ikata ya Mamale i mu Ebrone, na kuakua aye nkuibakila Yehowa kilambuilo.
