Uputukilo

13 Kashika, Apalama yakatuka ku Engitu yaya ku Nengeve, hamwe ni mukwo-pwo Serai, ni Lote ni yuma yeswe yize apwile nayo. 2 Apalama kapwile pichi munene, kapwile ni yimuna anji, prata ni oru. 3 Ha kukatuka ku Nengeve ni kuya ku Mbetele, iye yalwoka chihela ni chihela ndo muze ahetele ha chihela haze ajikile mbalaka yenyi, hakachi ka Mbetele ni Ehai, 4 kuze atungile chilumbilo chitangu. Kwenako, Apalama yatambika ha jina lia Yehova.

5 Lote yoze wapwile mu wenyi ni Apalama, neye kapwile ni mapanga, ngombe ni mambalaka. 6 Alioze, chifuchi chacho chapwile chikehe, kashika, ayo te kechi kuhasa kutwama homa hamuwika. Upite wo wokele chinji, kashika te kechi kuhasa kutwama nawa chimuwika. 7 Chocho, akwa-kufunga yimuna ja Apalama ni akwa-kufunga yimuna ja Lote yaputuka kuzwela. (Ha mashimbu jacho, A-Kanana ni A-Perize te katwama mu chifuchi chacho.) 8 Kashika, Apalama yamba kuli Lote ngwenyi: “Lisesa, kanda hapwa kuzwela hakachi ka yetu chipwe hakachi ka atu waze akufunga yimuna jami ni yimuna je, mumu tuli mandumbu. 9 Chifuchi chino cheswe chili mu moko je. Lisesa, tulihandunune. Nyi yena muoya ku chimeso, yami munguya ku chindume; alioze, nyi yena muoya ku chindume, yami munguya ku chimeso.” 10 Mba Lote yahetula meso jenyi, yamona ngwenyi chana cheswe cha Yordau ndo ku Zoare chapwile ni meya anji (shimbu Yehova te kanda anongesa Sondome ni Ngomora), chapwile ngwe munda wa Yehova, ngwe chifuchi cha Engitu. 11 Kashika, Lote yasakula chana cheswe cha Yordau, Lote yaya ni kutwama ku chivumbuko. Chocho, o yalihandununa umwe ni mukwo. 12 Apalama te katwama mu chifuchi cha Kanana, alioze Lote te katwama hakamwihi ni mambonge a mu chana cha Yordau. Kulutwe, Lote yajika mbalaka yenyi hakamwihi ni Sondome. 13 Alioze, atu a mu Sondome kapwile api chinji, kapwile yivulumunyi anene kumeso ja Yehova.

14 Muze Lote te halihandununa ni Apalama, Yehova yamba kuli Apalama ngwenyi: “Lisesa, hetula meso je ha chihela haze uli utale ku norte,* ku sule,* ku chivumbuko ni ku chitokelo, 15 mumu chifuchi cheswe chize unamono, mungukachihana kuli yena ni ku munyachi* we, chikapwe cha yenu ku miaka yeswe. 16 Mba mungukapwisa munyachi* we ngwe mavu a hashi, hanga nyi umwe mutu mahasa kwalula mavu a hashi, mahasa kwalula nawa munyachi* we. 17 Yako wendangane chifuchi cheswe ha usuhwe ni ha utohwe wacho, mumu munguchihana kuli yena.” 18 Apalama yanunga ni kutwama mu mambalaka, kulutwe yaya ni kutwama hakachi ka mitondo yinene-yinene ya Mamare, yize yatwama mu Heprone. Koko, yatungilako Yehova chilumbilo.
