Ukubhujiswa kweSodoma
1Kwathi sekuhlwile kweza izingelosi ezimbili eSodoma; uLoti wayehlezi esangweni laseSodoma, uLoti ewabona, wasukuma ukuwahlangabeza; wakhothamisa ubuso bakhe emhlabathini;
2Wathi: “Bheka, Nkosi yami, phendukela endlini yenceku yakho, ulale ubusuku bonke, ugeze izinyawo zakho, bese uvuka ekuseni, uhambe; Baphendula bathi: Cha! kodwa sizahlala emgwaqweni ubusuku bonke.
3Kodwa waphikelela; baphendukela kuye, bangena endlini yakhe; wabalungisela ukudla, wabhaka isinkwa esingenamvubelo, badla.
4Kepha ngaphambi kokuba zilale, amadoda omuzi, amadoda aseSodoma, ahaqa indlu, amadala nabasha, bonke abantu nxazonke.
5Bambiza uLoti, bathi kuye: “Aphi lawa madoda angenise kuwe ebusuku na?” Zikhiphele kithi, ukuze sizazi.
6ULothi waphuma ngomnyango waya kubo wavala umnyango ngemva kwakhe.
7Wathi: “Ngiyanincenga, bazalwane, ningayenzi into embi kanje.
8Bhekani, nginamadodakazi amabili engingaziwa muntu; ngiyakubakhiphela bona, ngenze kubo njengokuhle emehlweni enu; nje ungenzi lutho kulawa madoda; ngoba zeza ngaphansi komthunzi wophahla lwami.
9Bathi: “Suka.” Baphinda bathi: Lo ungene ukugogobala, uyakuba ngumahluleli; manje sizokuphatha kabi kunabo. Bayicindezela indoda, uLoti, basondela ukuba bafohloze umnyango.
10Kodwa amadoda elula isandla amdonsela uLoti endlini kanye nawo, ahluthulela umnyango.
11Amadoda ayesemnyango wendlu ashaya ngobumpumputhe, amancane namakhulu, akhathala ngokuthola umnyango.
12Ayesethi amadoda kuLoti: “Usenabakhwenyana, namadodana, namadodakazi, nakho konke onakho emzini, bakhiphe kule ndawo na?
13Ngokuba siyakuyichitha le ndawo, ngokuba isikhalo ngabo sesisikhulu phambi kukaJehova; uJehova wasithuma ukuba silichithe.
14ULoti wasephuma, wakhuluma kubakhwenyana bakhe ababethethe amadodakazi akhe, wathi: Sukani, lisuke kulindawo; ngoba iNkosi izawuchitha lumuzi. Kodwa wayebukeka njengomuntu ogcona abakhwenyana bakhe.
15Kwathi sekusile, izingelosi zamphuthumisa uLoti, zathi: “Vuka, uthathe umkakho namadodakazi akho omabili akhona; funa nibhubhe ngobubi bomuzi.
16Esalindile, amadoda abamba isandla sakhe, nesandla somkakhe, nesandla samadodakazi akhe omabili; uJehova waba nomusa kuye, bamkhipha, bamkhiphela ngaphandle komuzi.
17Esebakhiphele phandle wathi: “Balekani ukuphila kwenu; ungabheki emva kwakho, ungahlali ethafeni lonke; balekela entabeni, funa ubhujiswe.
18ULoti wasesithi kuwo: Hatshi, Nkosi yami!
19Bheka manje, inceku yakho ifumene umusa emehlweni akho, futhi ukhulise umusa wakho ongenzele wona kimi ngokusindisa ukuphila kwami; futhi anginakubalekela entabeni, funa ububi bungifike ngife.
20Bheka-ke, lo muzi useduze ukuba ngibalekele kuwo, futhi mncane;
21Wathi kuye: “Bheka, nami ngikuthokozisile ngale ndaba, ukuthi angiyikuwubhubhisa lo muzi okhulume ngawo.”
22Sheshani, nibalekele khona; ngoba mina ngingenze lutho uze ufike kukho. Ngalokho igama lomuzi lathiwa iZowari.
23Ilanga laphuma phezu komhlaba lapho uLothi engena eZowari.
24UJehova wanisa isibabule nomlilo phezu kweSodoma neGomora kuvela ezulwini;
25Wagumbuqela leyo mizi, nalo lonke ithafa, nabo bonke abakhileyo emizini, nalokho okuhluma emhlabathini.
26Kepha umkakhe wabheka emva kwakhe, waba yinsika kasawoti.
27U-Abrahama wavuka ekuseni kakhulu, waya endaweni lapho ayemi khona phambi kukaJehova.
28Wabheka ngaseSodoma naseGomora nasezweni lonke lethafa, bheka, umusi wezwe wenyuka njengomusi wesithando.
29Lapho uNkulunkulu ebhubhisa imizi yasethafeni, uNkulunkulu wamkhumbula u-Abrahama futhi wamkhipha uLoti phakathi nenkathi ephendukayo, lapho egumbuqela imizi uLoti ayehlala kuyo.
30ULoti wasuka eZowari, wahlala entabeni, namadodakazi akhe womabili kanye naye; ngoba wesaba ukuhlala eZowari, waya wahlala emhumeni, yena lamadodakazi akhe womabili.
31Eyamazibulo yathi kwencane: “Ubaba usekhulile, futhi akukho muntu emhlabeni ongangena kithi njengowomhlaba wonke.”
32Wozani simphuzise ubaba iwayini, sihlanganyele naye, ukuze sigcine inzalo kababa.
33Base bemphuzisa uyise iwayini ngalobo busuku; yangena izibulo, yalala noyise; futhi akabonanga lapho elala nalapho evuka.
34Ngangomuso izibulo yathi kwencane: “Bheka, ngilele nobaba izolo ebusuku; masimphuzise iwayini ngalobu busuku; futhi ungene futhi ulale naye, ukuze silondoloze inzalo kababa wethu.
35Zase zimphuzisa uyise iwayini nangabo lobo busuku, encane yasuka yalala naye; futhi akabonanga lapho elala nalapho evuka.
36Ngakho womabili amadodakazi kaLoti akhulelwa uyise.
37Eyokuqala yazala indodana, yaqamba igama layo ngokuthi uMowabi; unguyise wamaMowabi kuze kube namuhla.
38Encane nayo yazala indodana, yaqamba igama layo ngokuthi uBenami; lowo unguyise wabantwana bakwa-Amoni kuze kube namuhla.
