Dimatekenu
19 Jianju jiyadi jabhixila ku Sodoma ku dimatekenu dya usuku, Lote waxikamene bhu mwelu wa mbanza ya Sodoma. Kyoso kya amono, wabalumuka, wayi mu disanga-nawu, anga u bhetama ni pholo bhoxi. 2 Mwene wambe wixi: “Ngamidyondo ngana jami, ngamidyondo zenu kubhata dya selevende yenu, mubhite-ku o usuku, musukule o inama yenu, o ki kukya, mutena kusuluka ni njila yenu.” Ene atambwijila: “Kana. Twanda bhita o usuku bhu kitanda.” 3 Maji Lote wa ajijidika kate kya xikina kuya-nawu kubhata dyê. Mwene anga wa alambela kudya kwambote, wa abhangela jimbolo jakambe felemendu, ene anga adya.
4 Ande dya kuya muzeka, o mayala a mbanza, akwa Sodoma, tunde ku minzangala kate kwa adyakime, enyoso adibhongolola, akondoloka o inzo. 5 Ene anga exana Lote, exi: “O mayala eza mubhita o usuku kubhata dyé ala kwebhi? Tubhekele-nawu bhu kanga ni tuzeke-nawu.”
6 Lote watundu phala kuzwela-nawu bhu mwelu wa inzo yê, yu wajika o dibhitu kudima dyê. 7 Mwene wambe wixi: “Ngamidyondo phange jami, kanenu kubhanga o kima kiki kya ufusa. 8 Ngamidyondo, ngala ni twana tuyadi twa ahatu, nuka azekele ni diyala. Ngamidyondo, nganda mibhekela-nawu bhu kanga bhabha ni mu abhange yoso i mwamesena. Maji kanenu kubhanga kima kyayibha ku mayala yá, mukonda ene eza ngo mubhita usuku kubhata dyami.” 9 Mukiki, ene ambe: “Tunda bhabha!” Ya ambe dingi, exi: “O diyala didi mukwa ixi yengi weza mutunga bhabha. Né kiki, wa mu tufundisa ni kukaka kwoso! Kyenyiki, o kima ki twanda kubhanga kyanda betakota, ki twanda bhanga kwa ene ndenge.” Enyoso anga adibhongolola, Lote amuta bhukaxi,* anga aya mubula o dibhitu. 10 Bhenyobho o mayala ate o maku bhu kanga, asungu Lote m’onzo, anga ajika o dibhitu. 11 Maji ene afwisa o mesu a mayala exile bhu mwelu wa inzo, tunde ku ndenge, kate ku mwadyakime. Kyenyiki, ene abhwila ni kusota o dibhitu.
12 O mayala ebhwidisa-phe Lote: “O kwila sayi dingi muthu bhabha wa kutokala? Jiholome, twana twa mala ni twana twa ahatu, ni jindandu jé joso ala mu mbanza mumu, ambata-wu, tundenu mu kididi kiki! 13 Twanda bwika o kididi kiki, mukonda o kudikola kwa athu kwalungu ni mundu wa mbanza yiyi, kwavulu bhu pholo ya Jihova. Mukiki, Jihova wa tutumikisa phala kubwika o mbanza yiyi.” 14 Kyenyiki, Lote wayi muzwela ni jiholome jê, eji kazala ni an’ê a ahatu. Wa atangela, wixi: “Lengulukenu! Tundenu bhu kididi kiki, mukonda Jihova wanda bwika o mbanza yiyi!” Maji o jiholome jê abanzele kwila Lote wexile mutonoka.
15 Kyoso kuma ki kwaki, jianju amateka kulengulukisa Lote, exi: “Lenguluka! Ambata muhat’wé ni an’é kiyadi ala kumoxi n’eye bhabha, phala ki ufwe kyoso kyanda kwiza o kibwika mukonda dya ituxi ya mbanza yiyi!” 16 Kuma wexile mulaleka, o mayala amukwata mu lukwaku, mwene ni muhat’wê ni an’ê kiyadi kya ahatu, a mukatula bhu kididi bhwa kexile, a mwambata bhu kanga dya mbanza, mukonda Jihova wa mukwatela henda. 17 Kyoso kya akatula mu mbanza, umoxi mudyâ wambe: “Lenga phala kubhulula o mwenyu wé. Kana kutala* ku dima, kana we kwimana kididi kyoso-kyoso mu mbandu* yiyi. Lengela ku milundu phala ki ufwe!”
18 Lote wa ambela, wixi: “Ngakudyondo Jihova, koko kana! 19 Ngakudyondo, o selevende yé wasange ngalasa kumesu mé. Eye wa ngikwatela henda yadikota mukubhulula o mwenyu wami. Maji kingitena kulengela ku milundu, mukonda ngala ni wôma wa kwila, o kibwika ki ngisanga kwenyoko ni ngifu. 20 Ngakudyondo, o mbanza yiyi yazukama, ngitena kulengela-ku. Kididi kyofele ngo. Ngakudyondo, ngitena kulengela-ku? Kididi kyofele ngo. Kyenyiki nganda tena kubhuluka.” 21 Mwene wa mwambela wixi: “Kyambote. Nganda kulondekesa we henda mu kukamba kubwika o mbanza i wazwela. 22 Lenguluka! Lengela kwenyoko, mukonda kingitena kubhanga kima kate ki wanda bhixila-ku.” Kyene o mbanza yiyi kya ilukila o dijina dya Zowale.*
23 Kyoso Lote kya bhixila ku Zowale, o dikumbi dya tundile kya mu ixi yenyoyo. 24 Kyenyiki, Jihova wabheka túbhya ni xôfidi ku mbanza ya Sodoma ni Ngomola. O túbhya tutu twatundu kwa Jihova wene ku dyulu. 25 Kyenyiki, mwene wabwika o jimbanza jojo ni jimbanza jamukwa jazukamene ni athu oso atungile mu jimbanza, ni mixi, ni yangu ni isasa. 26 Maji o muhat’wâ Lote, wexile ku dima dyê, wamateka kutala ku dima yu wakituka philadi ya môngwa.
27 Mbalahamu wabalumuka mu kamenemene, yu wayi bhu kididi bhwemanene bhu pholo ya Jihova. 28 Kyoso kyatale ku lwiji, ku mbanza ya Sodoma ni ya Ngomola, ni jimbandu joso ja ixi, wamono kima kibhangesa kudiwana. Mu ixi mwexile mutunda dixi dyavulu, dixi dyedile kala o dixi ditunda mu kijiku kya túbhya! 29 Kyenyiki, kyoso Nzambi kya bwikisa o jimbanza mu ixi yenyoyo, Nzambi walembalala Mbalahamu, anga u katula Lote mu jimbanza ja bwika, o jimbanza mwa tungile Lote.
30 Ku pholo dya kwenda, Lote watundu ku Zowale kumoxi ni an’ê kiyadi kya ahatu, yu wayi mutunga mu mbandu ya milundu, mukonda wexile ni wôma wa kukala ku Zowale. Kyenyiki, wayi mutunga mu dibanda kumoxi ni an’ê kiyadi. 31 O dikota wambela o ndenge: “Tat’etu wakuka kya, mu kididi kiki kimwala mayala u tutena kuvwala-nawu twana, kala kyene mubhanga o athu amukwa mu ngongo yoso. 32 Zá, tubhane vinyu kwa tat’etu, phala tuzeke-nê ni tusokolole o mbutu ya tat’etu.”
33 Mukyenyiki, mu usuku wenyo abhana vinyu kwa tata yâ, anga u kodiwa. Mukusuluka, o mona wa dyanga wabokona yu wazeka ni tat’ê. Maji mwene kakijidile kyoso o mona kyazeka-nê ni kyoso kya balumuka. 34 Mu kizuwa kya kayela-ku, o mona wa dyanga wambela o ndenge: “Mazá mu usuku, ngazeka ni tat’etu. Tumubhane dingi vinyu lelu mu usuku, mukusuluka, eye u bokona phala u zeke-nê ni tusokolole o mwiji wa tat’etu.” 35 Mu usuku wenyo, ene abhana dingi vinyu kwa tata yâ, anga u kodiwa. O ndenge wabokona yu wazeka-nê. Maji mwene kakijidile kyoso o mona kya zeka-nê ni kyoso kya balumuka. 36 Mukuzeka ni tata yâ, o twana tuyadi twa Lote twemita. 37 O mona wa dyanga wavwala mon’a diyala, anga u muluka o dijina dya Mowabe. Mwéne o tata ya akwa Mowabe, kate mu izuwa ya lelu. 38 O ndenge wavwala we mon’a diyala, wa muluku o dijina dya Bene-Ami. Mwéne o tata ya akwa Amone, kate mu izuwa ya lelu.
