UGenesise 13 U-Abrama noLoti bayahlukana

¹ U-Abrama wakhuphuka ephuma eGibithe, yena nomkakhe, nakho konke anakho, noLoti enaye, waya eningizimu.

² U-Abrama wayecebile kakhulu ngemfuyo, nangesiliva nangegolide.

³ Wasuka eningizimu waze wafika eBethele, endaweni lapho itende lakhe lalikhona ekuqaleni, phakathi kweBethele ne-Ayi;

⁴ endaweni ye-altare alenza khona kuqala; u-Abrama wakhuleka lapho eGameni leNkosi.

⁵ Naye uLoti, owayehamba no-Abrama, wayenezimvu nezinkomo namatende.

⁶ Izwe lalingenakubathwala ukuba bahlale ndawonye, ngokuba impahla yabo yayinkulu, kangangokuthi babengenakuhlala ndawonye.

⁷ Kwaba khona ukuxabana phakathi kwabelusi bezinkomo zika-Abrama nabelusi bemfuyo kaLoti; kwase behlala ezweni amaKhanani namaPherizi.

⁸ UAbrama wasesithi kuLothi: Kakungabi khona ukuxabana phakathi kwami lawe laphakathi kwabelusi bami labelusi bakho; ngoba singabazalwane.

⁹ Izwe lonke aliphambi kwakho na? Hlukana nami; uma uthanda ukuthatha isandla sokhohlo, ngiyakuya ngakwesokunene; noma uphendukela ngakwesokunene, ngiyakuya ngakwesokhohlo.

¹⁰ ULoti waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona ithafa lonke laseJordani ukuthi lalinamanzi amaningi yonke indawo, ngaphambi kokuba uJehova abhubhise iSodoma neGomora, njengensimu kaJehova nanjengezwe laseGibhithe, njengoba ufika eSowari.

¹¹ ULoti wazikhethela lonke ithafa laseJordani; uLoti wasuka waya ngasempumalanga, bahlukana omunye nomunye.

¹² U-Abrama wahlala ezweni laseKhanani, uLoti wahlala emizini yasethafeni, wamisa itende lakhe ngaseSodoma.

¹³ Kodwa abantu baseSodoma babebabi kakhulu futhi beyizoni kakhulu phambi kukaJehova.

¹⁴ INkosi yasisithi kuAbrama, emva kokuthi uLothi esehlukene laye: Phakamisa amehlo akho, ukhangele ukulapho okhona, enyakatho laseningizimu, lempumalanga, lentshonalanga.

¹⁵ Ngoba lonke ilizwe olibonayo ngizalinika wena lenzalo yakho kuze kube nininini.

¹⁶ Ngiyakwenza inzalo yakho ibe njengothuli lomhlaba, ukuze kuthi noma ekhona ongabala uthuli lomhlaba, ibalwe nenzalo yakho.

¹⁷ Suka, udabule izwe ngobude balo nobubanzi balo; ngoba ngizakunika lona.

¹⁸ U-Abrama wamisa itende lakhe, wafika wahlala e-okini kaMamre eHebroni, wamakhela khona uJehova i-altare.
