UGenesise 14
1Kwathi emihleni ka-Amrafeli inkosi yaseShinari, no-Arjogi, inkosi yase-Elasari, noKedorlawomere inkosi yase-Elamu, inkosi yaseTidali wezizwe;
2balwa noBera inkosi yaseSodoma, noBirsha inkosi yaseGomora, noSinabi, inkosi yase-Adima, noSemeberi, inkosi yaseSeboyimi, nenkosi yaseBela eyiZowari.
3Bonke laba babuthana esigodini saseSidimi esiwuLwandle Lukasawoti.
4Iminyaka eyishumi nambili bakhonza uKedori Lawomere, nangomnyaka weshumi nantathu bahlubuka.
5Ngomnyaka weshumi nane uKedori-Lawomere namakhosi ayenaye beza, bawachitha amaRefa e-Ashiteroti-Karnayimi, namaShushi eHamu, nama-Emi eShave Kiriyatayimi;
6namaHori ezintabeni zawo iSeyiri, kwaze kwaba se-Eliparani elisehlane.
7Base bebuya, bafika e-Enimishipati eyiKadeshi, balichitha lonke izwe lama-Amaleki, nama-Amori ayehlala eHasoni-Tamari.
8Inkosi yaseSodoma, nenkosi yaseGomora, nenkosi yase-Adima, nenkosi yaseSeboyimi, nenkosi yaseBela, okuyiZowari, baphuma balwa nabo esigodini saseSidimi;
9kanye noKedorlawomere inkosi yase-Elamu, noTidali inkosi yezizwe, no-Amrafeli inkosi yaseShinari, no-Ariyoki inkosi yase-Elasari; amakhosi amane namahlanu.
10Isigodi saseSidimi sasigcwele imigodi yebitume; amakhosi aseSodoma naseGomora abaleka, awela khona; labo abaseleyo babalekela entabeni.
11Base bethatha yonke impahla yaseSodoma neGomora kanye nakho konke ukudla kwabo bamuka.
12Bamthatha uLoti, indodana yomfowabo ka-Abrama, owayehlala eSodoma, nempahla yakhe, bamuka.
13Kwasekufika okhululiweyo, wabikela uAbrama umHebheru; ngokuba wayehlala e-okini kaMamre umAmori, umfowabo ka-Eshikoli nomfowabo ka-Anere; futhi bahlobana no-Abrama.
14U-Abrama esezwile ukuthi umfowabo ubotshiwe, wawahlomisa amadoda akhe aqeqeshiweyo, azalelwe endlini yakhe, amakhulu amathathu neshumi nesishiyagalombili, wabaxosha kwaze kwaba kwaDan.
15Wabahlukanisela ebusuku, yena nezinceku zakhe, wabanqoba, wabaxosha kwaze kwaba seHoba elingakwesokhohlo saseDamaseku.
16Wazibuyisa zonke izimpahla, wambuyisa noLoti umfowabo, nempahla yakhe, nabesifazane, nabantu.
17Inkosi yaseSodoma yaphuma ukumhlangabeza ngemva kokuba isibuyile ekubulaleni uKedorlawomere namakhosi ayenaye, esigodini saseShebe, esiyisigodi samakhosi.
18UMelkisedeki inkosi yaseSalema waletha isinkwa newayini, futhi wayengumpristi kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke.
19Wambusisa wathi: “U-Abrama makabusiswe nguNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, umnini wezulu nomhlaba.
20Ubusisiwe uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke onikele izitha zakho esandleni sakho. Futhi wamnika okweshumi kwakho konke.
21Inkosi yaseSodoma yathi ku-Abrama: “Nginike abantu, uzithathele impahla.”
22U-Abrama wathi enkosini yaseSodoma: “Ngaphakamisela isandla sami kuJehova, uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, ongumnikazi wezulu nomhlaba,
23ukuthi kangiyikuthatha kusukela entanjeni ngiye entanjeni yesicathulo, njalo kangiyikuthatha okungokwakho, ongatshongo ukuthi: Mina ngamcebisa uAbrama.
24Ngaphandle kwalokho okudliwe yizinsizwa, nesabelo samadoda ayehamba nami, o-Aneri, no-Eshikoli, noMamre; mabathathe ingxenye yabo.
