Ukwehlukana kukaAbrama loLothi

1UAbrama wasesenyuka eGibhithe, yena lomkakhe lakho konke ayelakho loLothi kanye laye, waya eningizimu. 2Njalo uAbrama wayenothile kakhulu a, ngezifuyo, ngesiliva, langegolide. 3Wasehamba kuzinhambo zakhe esuka eningizimu, waze wafika eBhetheli, endaweni lapho ithente lakhe elalikhona kuqala, phakathi kweBhetheli leAyi; 4endaweni yelathi ayelenzile khona kuqala b; uAbrama wasebiza ibizo leNkosi lapho.

5LoLothi laye, owayehamba loAbrama, wayelezimvu lezinkomo lamathente. 6Njalo ilizwe lalingebathwale ukuthi bahlale ndawonye c, ngoba impahla yabo yayinengi, ukuthi babengeke bahlala ndawonye. 7Kwasekusiba khona ukuxabana phakathi kwabelusi bezifuyo zikaAbrama labelusi bezifuyo zikaLothi d. Ngalesosikhathi amaKhanani e lamaPerizi ayehlala elizweni. 8UAbrama wasesithi kuLothi: Ake kungabi khona ukuxabana phakathi kwami lawe, laphakathi kwabelusi bami labelusi bakho, ngoba singamadoda osendo f. 9Ilizwe lonke kaliphambi kwakho yini g? Yehlukana-ke lami; uba usiya kwesokhohlo, ngizakuya kwesokunene h; kodwa uba kwesokunene, ngizakuya kwesokhohlo. 10ULothi wasephakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona lonke igceke leJordani i ukuthi lalithelelwe kuhle lonke. INkosi ingakachithi iSodoma leGomora j, lalinjengensimu yeNkosi k, njengelizwe leGibhithe, nxa usiya eZowari l. 11ULothi wasezikhethela lonke igceke leJordani; uLothi wasesiya empumalanga; basebezehlukanisa omunye komunye. 12UAbrama wahlala elizweni leKhanani, uLothi wasehlala emizini yemagcekeni, wamisa ithente lakhe eduze leSodoma. 13Kodwa abantu beSodoma babebabi m babeyizoni phambi kweNkosi n kakhulu.

14INkosi yasisithi kuAbrama emva kokuthi uLothi esehlukaniswe laye: Phakamisa-ke amehlo akho, ukhangele endaweni lapho okhona, ngasenyakatho langaseningizimu langasempumalanga langasentshonalanga o, 15ngoba ilizwe lonke olibonayo ngizalinika wena p, lakunzalo yakho q kuze kube nininini. 16Njalo ngizakwenza inzalo yakho ibe njengothuli lomhlaba r, kuze kuthi uba umuntu engabala uthuli lomhlaba, izabalwa lenzalo yakho. 17Sukuma uhambe udabule ilizwe, ebudeni balo lebubanzini balo, ngoba ngizalinika wena. 18UAbrama wasesusa amathente wafika wahlala ezihlahleni zama-okhi* zeMamre, eziseHebroni s, wakhela lapho iNkosi ilathi.
