6Abulahamu nakahiluka himahima kuli chibumuli nakamlonjela Sala, “Uwiche goya himahima vijemo vidatu vya utimbo unojile, utimbe, na usome mibumunda.” 7Hamba Abulahamu nakalawa himahima nakuluta kuli misenga, nakahagula ilogota limwe linenehe goya, nakamha chitumagwa yumwe yeyohaje kulidumula na kuliteleka. 8Kahi Abulahamu nakahola mtindi na matombo na ajila miwunde ja ibuguma jiwele jisomigwe goya, na kuwawichila wajenzi awo chilyo, na heye nakema behi na hewo kuwaditila nalowali wolya hasi ha igodi.

Ndokuhiluchila mhela uwichigwe, mhela kota awu mwaka ukuya, na Sala kowa na mwana mlume.” 15Ila Sala, nayawele yodumba, nakabela yolonga, “Sisechile!” Mkulu Nguluwi nakamlonjela, “Hebu, kuseka nakuseka.”
Abulahamu kanguwalandila wanhu wa Sodoma
16Hamba wala wanhu nawoka, nawaulola muji wa Sodoma, na heye Abulahamu nakawasindichiza. 17Lelo Mkulu Nguluwi nakejesa, “Ndaze, ndimvise Abulahamu mbuli ilibehi kuidita? 18Heye Abulahamu kowa mhaza wa wanhu wa nhanzi ng'hulu na kwa heye nhanzi za isi zeng'ha zotambichizwa. 19Ndimhagula heye leka yawalajize walelwa wa heye kibatilila nzila ya Mkulu Nguluwi, wawe watanganiche na kutagusa goya, ahyo Mkulu Nguluwi komigalila Abulahamu kota navyoyalagane.”
20Lelo Mkulu Nguluwi nakalonga, “Hana kung'ung'utilwa lukami kwa muji wa Sodoma na Gomola na gehile ga hewo makulu ng'hatu. 21Lelo ndodulika kuluta ako ndikelolele nene kota kukomya nawadita kota vila chililo vyochimbuyile. Ndangugana kuvizela.”
22Kulawa baho, wala wanhu nawebatilila nzila ya kuluta Sodoma, ila Abulahamu nayang'hali yemile hali Mkulu Nguluwi. 23Lelo Abulahamu nakamhejelela Mkulu Nguluwi, na kumuuza, “Ndaze, kwangukomya kowakopola wanhu wanojile hamwe na wehile? 24Hanji wamumo wanhu wanojile makumi gahano amo mli muji. Ndaze, koubagamiza muji weng'ha huuleka hebu kwa wala makumi gahano wanojile wawele amo? 25Ndangijesa kota hudita ahyo hebu. Kuwakopola wanhu wanojile hamwe na wehile, wanojile kuditilwa kota wehile. Hebu! Mtagusa wa isi yeng'ha holeka kutagusa gawele goya.” 26Mkulu Nguluwi, nakamlonjela, “Hondiwafika wanhu wanojile makumi gahano kula Sodoma, ena ndouleka muji weng'ha uwe goya kwa mbuli ya hewo.”
27Abulahamu nakalonga, “Njeza kowa na nhunmbula ikangele ya kulongasa na Mkulu, hanga heni siwele chinhu, nda kota misanga na mivu hela. 28Hanji wabaho wanhu wanojile makumi gane na wahano kwa wala makumi gahano. Ndaze, koubagamiza muji weng'ha kwa vila wapuka wanhu wahano?” Mkulu Nguluwi nakamwidichila, “Siubagamiza muji wone kowa na wanhu wanojile makumi gane na wahano.”
29Abulahamu nakonjezela kulonga, “Hanji wanhu makumi gane wawele amo.” Nguluwi nakamwidichila, “Kwa mbuli ya wanhu wanojile makumi gane, sidita ahyo.”
30Abulahamu nakonjezela kulonga, “Mkulu, ndangulanda uleche kunzudila, na heni ndolonga kahi. Hanji wowabaho wanhu wanojile makumi gadatu.” Mkulu Nguluwi nakamwidichila, “Sidita ahyo hondiwafika awo wanhu makumi gadatu.”
31Abulahamu nakalonga, “Nanjeza kulonga na Mkulu kwa nhumbula ikangale. Hanji wowa baho wanhu wanojile makumi meli.” Nguluwi nakamwidichila, “Kwa mbuli ya awo wanhu makumi meli wanojile, siubagamiza hebu.”
32Hamba Abulahamu nakalonga, “Mkulu, ndangulanda uleche kunzudila, ila ndolonga kahi kamwe hela. Ndaze, wone wawe wanhu wanojile kumi, yowa ndaze?” Mkulu Nguluwi nakamwidichila, “Kwa mbuli ya awo wanojile kumi, siubagamiza muji awo.”
33Mkulu Nguluwi loyasindile kulonga na Abulahamu, nakoka, na heye Abulahamu nakahiluka kaye.
