Chapter 19

1 Zafika izithunywa ezo zozibini eSodom ngokuhlwa, uLote ehleli esangweni leSodom. ULote wazibona, wesuka waya kuzikhawulela, waqubuda ngobuso emhlabeni.
2 Wathi, Khanibone, zinkosi zam! Khaniphambukele endlwini yomkhonzi wenu, nilale, nihlambe iinyawo zenu, nivuke kusasa, nihambe indlela yenu. Zathi, Hayi, solala esitratweni.
3 Wazijoka kunene, zaphambukela kuye, zangena endlwini yakhe; wazenzela isidlo, woja nezonka ezingenagwele, zadla.
4 Ke kaloku, zingekalali, amadoda aloo mzi, amadoda aseSodom, ayirhawula indlu, ethabathela kumfana esa kwixhego, bonke abantu bevela nasekupheleni kwawo.
5 Bambiza uLote, bathi kuye, Aphi na amadoda angene kuwe ngobu busuku? Wakhuphele kuthi, siwazi.
6 Waphuma uLote waya kubo emnyango, waluvala ucango emva kwakhe,
7 wathi, Musani ukwenza into embi, bazalwana.
8 Khanibone, ndineentombi ezimbini ezingazani nandoda; mandikhuphele zona kuni, nenze kuzo ngoko kulungileyo emehlweni enu. Ke kula madoda musani ukwenza nto, kuba angene ngenxa yoko emthunzini wophahla lwam.
9 Bathi, Khwelela; batsho bathi, Lo wezayo ngokuphambukela uhlala egweba; ngoku sokuphatha kakubi wena kunawo. Besuka indulumbane phezu kwendoda uLote, basondela, beza kuluqhekeza ucango.
10 Amadoda lawo asolula isandla sawo, amngenisa uLote kuwo endlwini, aluvala ucango.
11 Awabetha ngobumfama amadoda abesemnyango wendlu, ethabathela kwencinane esa kwenkulu, azidinisa ke ukufuna umnyango.
12 Athi amadoda lawo kuLote, Usenabani na apha? Umyeni, noonyana bakho, neentombi zakho, nabo bonke onabo kulo mzi, bakhuphe kule ndawo;
13 ngokuba siya kuyonakalisa le ndawo, ngokuba sikhulu isikhalo sabo ebusweni bukaYehova. UYehova usithume ukuba siyonakalise.
14 Waphuma, uLote, wathetha kubayeni beentombi zakhe, abaya kuzeka iintombi zakhe, wathi, Sukani, niphume kule ndawo; ngokuba uYehova uya kuwonakalisa lo mzi. Usuke waba njengohlekisayo emehlweni abayeni beentombi zakhe.
15 Izithunywa zamngxamisa uLote ngesifingo, zathi, Vuka, thabatha umkakho, neentombi zakho zombini, aba banokufumaneka, hleze ubhebhethwe ngobugwenxa balo mzi.
16 Wazilazila; amadoda abamba isandla sakhe, nesandla somkakhe, nesandla seentombi zakhe zombini; uYehova emvela, amkhupha, amyeka ngaphandle komzi.
17 Akuba emkhuphele phandle, athi, Zisindise ngenxa yomphefumlo wakho. Musa ukubheka emva kwakho, musa ukuma kuwo wonke lo mmandla; zisindise ngokuya entabeni, hleze ubhebhethwe.
18 Wathi kuwo uLote, Hayi, Nkosi yam.
19 Khawubone, umkhonzi wakho umbabale. Uyikhulisile inceba yakho ondenzeleyo, ukuba uwusindise umphefumlo wam; mna ke andinako ukuzisindisa ngokuya entabeni, hleze ndinanyathelwe bububi, ndife.
20 Khawubone, lo mzi ukufuphi, ukuba kubalekelwe kuwo, mncinane; ndanga ndingazisindisa ngokuya kuwo (awumncinane na?), usinde umphefumlo wam.
21 Wathi kuye, Yabona, ndikunonelele nangale nto, ukuba ndingawubhukuqi lo mzi uthethe ngawo.
22 Khawuleza, zisindise ngokuya khona, kuba andinakwenza nto ude ufike khona. Ngenxa yoko igama laloo mzi kwathiwa yiTsohare.
23 Ilanga lalise liphumile phezu kwehlabathi, ukufika kukaLote eTsohare.
24 Wanisa ke uYehova phezu kweSodom neGomora isulfure nomlilo ophuma kuYehova emazulwini;
25 wayibhukuqa loo mizi, nawo wonke loo mmandla, nabo, bonke abemi baloo mizi, nesihlumo somhlaba.
26 Kodwa umkakhe, esemva kwakhe, wakhangela ngasemva, waba yintsika yetyuwa.
27 UAbraham wavuka kusasa, waya kuloo ndawo wayemi kuyo ebusweni bukaYehova.
28 Wondela eSodom neGomora, nakulo lonke ilizwe laloo mmandla. Wakhangela; nango unyuka umsi welo zwe, njengomsi weziko lemfutho.
29 Kwathi, xenikweni uThixo wayonakalisayo imizi yaloo mmandla, uThixo wamkhumbula uAbraham, wamkhupha uLote phakathi kobhukuqo olo, ekuyibhukuqeni imizi leyo abehleli kuyo uLote.
30 Wenyuka uLote ephuma eTsohare, wahlala entabeni, eneentombi zakhe zombini, kuba ebesoyika ukuhlala eTsohare; wahlala emqolombeni, yena neentombi zakhe zombini.
31 Yathi eyamazibulo kwencinane, Ubawo waluphele; akukho ndoda ezweni apha yokusingena ngokwendlela yehlabathi lonke;
32 yiza, simseze ubawo iwayini, silale naye, sigcine imbewu ngobawo.
33 Zamseza ke uyise iwayini ngobo busuku; yangena eyamazibulo, yalala noyise; akayazanga yena ukulala kwayo nokuvuka kwayo.
34 Kwathi ngengomso, yathi eyamazibulo kwencinane, Yabona, ndilele nobawo phezolo; masimseze iwayini nangobu busuku, ungene, ulale naye, ukuba sigcine imbewu ngobawo.
35 Zamseza ke uyise iwayini nangobo busuku, yasuka, encinane yalala naye; akayazanga yena ukulala kwayo nokuvuka kwayo.
36 Zamitha zombini iintombi zikaLote ngoyise.
37 Eyamazibulo yazala unyana, yambiza ngegama elinguMowabhi; yena nguyise wamaMowabhi unanamhla.
38 Nencinane yazala unyana, yambiza ngegama elinguBhenami; yena nguyise wonyana baka-Amon unanamhla.
