Genese 13:1-18
13 Nunku Abalama wakumbuka mu Ejipitu, kuyaye ku Negebe,+ yeye ne mukajende ne bionso bivuaye nabi, pamue ne Lota.
2 Abalama uvua ne bubanji bua bungi bua bimuna ne arjan ne or.+
3 Uvua wenda utudila miaba mishilashilangane pakumbukaye ku Negebe mutangile ku Betele, too ne pakafikaye muaba uvua ntenta wende kumpala pankatshi pa Betele ne Ai,+
4 muaba uvuaye muashile tshioshelu kumpala. Abalama wakabilaku dîna dia Yehowa.
5 Mpindieu Lota, uvua wenza ngendu pamue ne Abalama, uvua pende ne mikoko ne ngombe ne ntenta.
6 Kadi buloba abu kabuvua bukumbane bua bobu kusomba kaba kamue; bintu biabu bikavua bivulangane bikole menemene kakuyi mushindu wa bobu kusomba kabidi pamue to.
7 Bua bualu abu, matandu akajuka pankatshi pa balami ba bimuna bia Abalama ne balami ba bimuna bia Lota. (Tshikondo atshi bena Kanâna ne bena Pelizi bavua basombele mu buloba abu.)+
8 Nunku Abalama wakambila Lota+ ne: “Ndi nkulomba bua kakuikadi matandu pankatshi panyi nebe ne pankatshi pa balami ba bimuna bianyi ne balami ba bimuna biebe, bualu tudi bena muntu.
9 Buloba buonso kabuena kumpala kuebe anyi? Ndi nkulomba bua tuabulukangane. Wewe muye ku dia bakaji, dîba adi meme nenye ku dia balume; kadi wewe muye ku dia balume, dîba adi meme nenye ku dia bakaji.”
10 Nunku Lota wakabandisha mêsu, kumonaye ne: tshitupa tshionso tshia Yadene+ too ne ku Soâ+ tshivua ne mâyi a bungi anu bu budimi bua Yehowa,+ anu bu buloba bua Ejipitu (kumpala kua Yehowa kubutula Sodoma ne Amola).
11 Ke Lota kusungula tshitupa tshionso tshia Yadene, kuyaye kuasa tshitudilu tshiende ku est. Nunku bakabulukangana.
12 Abalama wakasombela mu buloba bua Kanâna, kadi Lota wakasombela pabuipi ne bimenga bia mu tshitupa tshia Yadene.+ Ndekelu wa bionso wakasa ntenta yende pabuipi ne Sodoma.
13 Kadi bantu ba mu Sodoma bavua bantu babi, benji ba mpekatu banene ku mêsu kua Yehowa.+
14 Abalama bamane kuabulukangana ne Lota, Yehowa wakamuambila ne: “Ndi nkulomba bua ubandishe mêsu ebe kumbukila muaba uudi au, utangile ku nord ne ku sud, ku est ne ku ouest,
15 bualu buloba buonso buudi mumone abu nenkupeshabu wewe ne bana* bebe bua buikale buenu bua kashidi.+
16 Nemvuije bana* bebe anu bu nsenga ya pa buloba, bua ne: bikala muntu mua kubala nsenga ya pa buloba, nanku badi mua kubala bana* bebe.+
17 Juka, wendakane mu buloba abu mu bule ne mu butshiama, bualu wewe ke ungabupesha.”
18 Nunku Abalama wakatungunuka ne kusombela mu ntenta. Pashishe wakafika ku mitshi minene ya Mamale+ idi mu Hebelone,+ yeye kusombelaku, ne kuashilaku Yehowa tshioshelu.+
