iGenesis 13
uAbram noLote bahlukana
1Waphuma uAbram eYiputa, yena nomkakhe, neento zonke abenazo, enoLote, esinga kwelasezantsi. 2uAbram wayeneenkomo, nesilivere, negolide. 3Wemka kwelasezantsi, waya eBheteli, apho ibikhona intente yakhe ekuqaleni, phakathi kweBheteli neAyi; 4endaweni yesibingelelo, awasenzayo khona ngaphambili; walithandaza uAbram igama likaYehova khona. 5Naye uLote, obehamba noAbram, waye enempahla emfutshane, neenkomo, neentente. 6Umhlaba wawunganelanga ukuba bahlale ndawonye, kuba ubutyebi babo babubuninzi, kangangokuba ababa nakuhlala ndawonye. 7Kwabakho ingxabano phakathi kwabalusi bempahla emfutshane ka-Abram nabalusi bempahla emfutshane kaLote; ngelo xesha kwahlala amaKanan namaPersi kwelo zwe. 8Wathi uAbram kuLote, Makungabikho mfazwe phakathi kwam nawe, naphakathi kwabalusi bam nabalusi bakho; ngokuba singabantwana babantu. 9Alikuwe na ilizwe lonke? Yahlukana nam; ukuba uthanda ukuthatha isandla sasekhohlo, ndoya ekunene; nokuba ubheka ekunene, ndoya ekhohlo. 10uLote wawaphakamisa amehlo akhe, wawukhangela wonke ummandla waseYordan, ngokuba amanzi abemaninzi kuyo yonke indawo, engekayonakalisi uYehova iSodom neGomora, unjengomyezo kaYehova, nanjengelizwe laseYiputa, ekufikeni kwakho eTsohare. 11uLote wawunyula wonke ummandla waseYordan; uLote waya ngasempumalanga, bahlukana omnye komnye. 12uAbram wahlala ezweni lakwaKanan, uLote wahlala emizini yasemaphandleni, wayimisa intente yakhe kwesa eSodom. 13Ke kaloku amadoda aseSodom ayengabenzi bobubi kakhulu, yaye wona phambi koYehova. 14Wathi uYehova kuAbram ekuzahluleni kukaLote kuye: “Phakamisa amehlo akho kuloo ndawo ukuyo, ujonge emntla nasemzantsi nasempuma nasentshona. 15Kuba lonke ilizwe olibonayo ndiya kulinika wena nenzala yakho kude kuse ephakadeni. 16Ndiza kuyenza inzala yakho ibe njengothuli lomhlaba, ukuze ukuba kukho umntu okwaziyo ukubala uthuli lomhlaba, ayibale nembewu yakho. 17Suka, ulihambe ilizwe ngobude nobubanzi balo; ngokuba ndiya kukunika. 18Wandula ke uAbram wamisa intente yakhe waza wahlala kumthi oki kaMamre oseHebron, waza wamakhela khona uYehova isibingelelo.
