Mathenga ghatatu ghamuwoneke Abrahamu

¹ Ndipo Ambuya angumuwoneke pafupi ndi miti ya msolo ya pa Mamre, wanguti waja pa khomo la hema lake mu chifundizi cha msana.

² Wangulereska ndipo wanguwona ŵanthu ŵatatu ŵanguma paurongo pake. Wanguti waŵawona wanguchimbiya kutuwa pa khomo la hema lake kwachikumana nawo, ndipo wangukotamiya pasi,

³ ndi wanguto, “Ambuya asani ndasaniya wezi mu maso ghinu, rekani kumurutiriya cha muŵanda winu.

⁴ Ghatoleke maji ghamanavi, ndi musambe marundi ghinu, ndipo mupumuwe mu sina mwa muti uwu,

⁵ po ine ndamuto chiŵande kuti mujizikiske mtima, sono pavuli ndipo murutenge pakuti mwaza ku muŵanda winu.” Viyo iwo ŵanguti, “Chita uli ndimo wanene.”

⁶ Ndipo Abrahamu wanguchimbiriya ku hema kwaku Sara, ndi wanguti, “To ruŵi myeso yitatu ya ufwa waraampha, ukasi, ndi uchiti viŵande.”

⁷ Ndipo Abrahamu wanguchimbiriya ku mskambu, wanguto thole, ladututuŵa lamamphe, wangulipaska ku muŵanda, mweniyo wangulilongoso.

⁸ Ndipo wanguto masa ndi mkaka, ndi thole lo wangulongoso wanguvijarika paurongo pawo; ndipo wanguma pafupi nawo penipo ŵarghanga.

⁹ Ŵanguti kwaku iyo, “We pani Sara muwoli wako?” Iyo wanguti, “Wemu hema.”

¹⁰ Ambuya anguti, “Ndazamuwere kwaku iwe pa nyengo ya liwondwe, ndipo Sara muwoli wako wakaŵanga ndi mwana munthurumi.” Ndipo Sara wategherezganga pa khomo la hema ku msana kwake.

¹¹ Kweni Abrahamu ndi Sara ŵangukota, ŵa virimika vinandi; Sara kungumumariya kuŵa nge ndimo ŵachitiya ŵanthukazi.

¹² Viyo Sara wanguseka mu mtima pe, wanguti, “Sono po ndakota, ndi mrumi wangu nayo wakota, ndiŵenge so ndi kukondwa?”

¹³ Ambuya anguti kwaku Abrahamu, “Chifukwa chine waseka Sara ndi kunena kuti, ‘Ndingapapadi mwana ine, sono penipo nde khongwe?’ Kumbi chilipo cho nchinonono ku Ambuya?

¹⁴ Pa nyengo yo ndanena ndikawerenga kwako, mu nyengo ya liwondwe, ndipo Sara wakaŵanga ndi mwana munthurumi.”

¹⁵ Kweni Sara wangupandira wanguti, “Ndengavi kuseka,” pakuti wangopa. Iyo wanguti, “Awa, kweni unguseka.”

¹⁶ Sono ŵanthu wo ŵangusokapo ŵanguruta, ndipo ŵanguruta ku Sodomu. Ndipo Abrahamu wanguruta nawo kwachiŵalinda ku nthowa.

¹⁷ Ambuya anguti, “Kumbi ndikamubisanga Abrahamu cho ndikachitanga;

¹⁸ pakuti Abrahamu wakaŵanga mtundu ukuru ndi wanthazi, ndipo mitundu yose ya pano pasi yikatumbikikiyanga mwaku iyo?

¹⁹ Awa, pakuti ndamusankha, kuti warunguchizge ŵana ŵake ndi mbumba yake ya pavuli pake kusunga nthowa ya Ambuya pakuchita ukongorekwa ndi urunji: alinga kuti Ambuya ŵatole kwaku Abrahamu chenicho ŵapangana nayo.”

²⁰ Viyo Ambuya anguti, “Chifukwa chakuti nkhuta pa Sodomu ndi Gomora njikuru, ndipo mphurupuru yawo njizitu ukongwa,

²¹ ndisikiyengeko kwachiwona vinu ŵachitadi kwakuyana ndi nkhuta yo yaza kwangu; ndipo asani ndi viyo cha, ndamuziŵa.”

Abrahamu warombe ŵaku Sodomu

²² Viyo wo ŵangung'anamuka penipo ndi ŵanguruta ku Sodomu; kweni Abrahamu, wanguma mbwenu paurongo pa Ambuya.

²³ Sono Abrahamu wangundere pafupi, ndi wanguti, “Kumbi mukaparghang'anga nadi ŵarunji pamoza ndi ŵaheni?

²⁴ Nanga asani ŵalimo machumi ghankhonde ŵarunji mu msumba wo, kumbi muparghang'enge mbwenu malo gho, kuti mukagherekanga cha chifukwa cha ŵarunji wo machumi ghankhonde ŵe mwenimo?

²⁵ Chimuŵiyeni kutali kuchita cha viyo, kubaya ŵarunji pamoza ndi ŵaheni, kuti ŵarunji ŵayani ndi ŵaheni! Ichi chimuŵiyeni kutali! Kumbi Mweruzgi wa charu chose kuti wachitenge urunji cha?”

²⁶ Ndipo Ambuya anguti, “Asani pa Sodomu ndisaniyengepo arunji machumi ghankhonde mu msumba wo ndikagharekanga malo ghose chifukwa chawo.”

²⁷ Abrahamu wangwamuka, “Ehe, ndajigangiya kukamba ndi Ambuya, ine ndi fuvu ndi choto.

²⁸ Nanga asani papele ŵankhonde pakuwo machumi ghankhonde. Kumbi muparghang'enge msumba wose chifukwa chakupele ŵankhonde?” Ndipo wanguti. “Kuti ndiuparghang'enge cha asani ndisaniyengemo machumi ghanayi pachanya ŵankhonde rauwa.”

²⁹ Wanguwerezgapo kukamba nayo, ndi wanguti, “Nanga asani machumi ghanayi ghangasanirika muwa.” Wangwamuka, “Chifukwa cha machumi ghanayi kuti ndiuparghang'enge cha.”

³⁰ Viyo wanguti, “Ambuya areke kukaripa, ndipo ndirongoronge nawo. Nanga asani ŵamusanirikamo machumi ghatatu.” Angwamuka kuti, “Ndamuchita kanthu cha, asani ndamusaniyamo machumi ghatatu.”

³¹ Wanguti, “Wonani ndajigangiya kurongoro ndi Ambuya. Nanga asani ŵamusanirikamo machumi ghaŵi.” Angwamuka, “Chifukwa chaku wo machumi ghaŵi, kuti mdakuuparghang'a cha.”

³² Viyo wanguti, “Ambuya areke kukaripa, ndipo nkharongoronga ichi kamoza pe. Nanga asani ŵamusanirikamo chumi.” Angwamuka, “Chifukwa chaku wo chumi kuti mdakuuparghang'a cha.”

³³ Viyo Ambuya anguruta mu nthowa yawo ŵati ŵamara kurongoro ndi Abrahamu; ndipo Abrahamu nayo wanguwere ku malo ghake.
