Etyi embumona, Lote okukatuka aende-ko, elipetamena-po.+ 2 Lote ati: “Mbambavo tatekulu, endywei meumbo liomuundapi wenyi, ngamo mulala, endywei onomphai mbenyi mbukohwe. Haa mulimeneka komuhuka, amweende.” Ngwe ambuti: “Au, onthwe matukalalela popalasa.” 3 Lote ehembutavela, aende nambo keumbo liae ngako mbukalala.

Ovo mandyieta pondye, muvelinge etyi mwahanda. Ovalume mwehevelingei-vo natyike mbaa, mokonda veya-vo vala okuhupila meumbo* liange.”+ 9 Ngwe avemukumbulula avati: “Tunda-po apa!” Avati vali: “Omulume ou ongendi yeya motyilongo tyetu, pahe soka, wahanda okukala omuviyuli wetu!” Avemuti: “Etyi matukulingi, matyivilipo vali tyipona etyi twahandele okulinga ovaenda vove.” Aveho avautukila Lote,* avafwene pepito velitahule-po. 10 Ngwe ovalume veli mokati ovaenda avakwata Lote mokuvoko, avemunyingiya mokati, epito aveliiki. 11 Pahe avapake ovalume veli pombundi moumphoki, okuhimbikila komona atee komukulu, avepwila nokwovola pepito.

12 Ovalume ovo vevali avapulu Lote avati: “Una-mo vali otyikumba muno? Vana vekunepela, novana vove ovakwendye, novakainthu, aveho vove veli mepunda-umbo muno vataule-mo! 13 Tyeetyi matuhanye-po epunda-umbo eli, omaluyave alio, akala omanene unene* ku Siovaa,+ pahe Siovaa wetutuma okulihanya-po.” 14 Lote okulupuka, aende akapopia novakwendye vovana vae; evetolela ati: “Kuluminyei vakwe! Momphangu ino taulei-mo mokonda Siovaa mahanyauna-po epunda-umbo eli!” Mahi ovakwendye vovana vae avati hamwe unyana vala.+

15 Tyina tyiti kombimba, onoandyu ambukasusuviya-mo ovo Lote ambuti: “Kuluminya! Pola omukai wove, novana vove ovafikwena una-vo muno, enda opo wahaipaelwe kumwe no vokulinga ovivi mepunda-umbo.”+ 16 Mokonda vekahi nokuseta, ovalume avakwata Lote, nomukai wae, novana vae ovafikwena momavoko; avevepolo-mo avevelupula kondye yepunda-umbo,+ mokonda Siovaa wevelinga okankhenda.+ 17 Pokwevelupula kondye yepunda-umbo, umwe puvo* apopila Lote okuti: “Enda-nkholo, hupisa omwenyo wove!* Wahaleuke konyima,+ wahatalame napeke motyilongo etyi!+ Enda no kotyilongo tyonomphunda opo uhupe!”

18 Lote evepopila okuti: “Oko hako-ko mbambavo Siovaa! 19 Mbambavo ove wapanda ame muumbili wove, ukahi nokundinga okankhenda okanene,* okuhupisa omwenyo wange,*+ mahi hikaholama kotyilongo tyonomphunda, kwanthilisa owoma mokonda ehanyauno lipondola okumbasa, andyinkhi.+ 20 Mbambavo pena epunda-umbo likala popepi, oko ndyitaulile; okalongo kamwe okatutu vala. Mbambavo tyitavela ngako ndyitaulila? Okalongo kamwe okatutu vala. Oko mandyikahupila.”* 21 Ngwe emukumbulula ati: “Tyikahi nawa. Ewaa mandyitavela etyi wapopia,+ himahanye-ko okalongo oko wapopia.+ 22 Kanyauka! Oko utaulila, nkhele himalingi natyike, tyina wehenehike-ko!”+ Otyo alukila epunda-umbo olio okuti o Sowale.*+

23 Etyi Lote aya, wekehika vala ko Sowale, ekumbi liatunda-le. 24 Siovaa alokesa otupia no isofele* mo Sondoma no mo Ngomola, ehanyauno olio liatunda ku Siovaa keulu.+ 25 Ahanye-ko omapunda-umbo oo, otyilongo atyiho atyihanyuka-po, kumwe novanthu vakala-mo novikuna viotyilongo.+ 26 Omukai wa Lote, uli monyima yae, aleuka konyima, atyituka otyimbumba tyomongwa.+

27 Ambalayau apinduka-po kombimba, aende pomphangu apa akalele na Siovaa.+ 28 Etyi atala kombwelo ko Sondoma, no Ngomola, okutala motyilongo atyiho, amono ovihuna. Muli nokutunda omwihi wanthikovela, omwihi umwe ukahi ngo wekundungala liotupia!+ 29 Pokuhanya-ko omapunda-umbo otyilongo, Huku wahinangela Ambalayau, apolo Lote momapunda-umbo mahanye-ko, omapunda-umbo Lote akalele.+

30 Lote ailuka mo Sowale, nae novana vae vevali ovafikwena, akakala motyilongo tyonomphunda,+ mokonda wankhia owoma okukala mo Sowale.+ Avakakala meleva novana vae vevali ovafikwena. 31 Otyiveli tyatyo atolela ondenge yae okuti: “Tate ukahi nokukulupa, ngwe motyilongo etyi mutupu omulume nawike upondola okutunepa ngeetyi ovanthu aveho valinga. 32 Endyu kuno, twaavele ovinyu tate, atulala nae opo omuhoko wombunga ya tate utwaleko.”

33 Motyinthiki otyo avape he ovinyu akolwa, ou omukulu watyo anyingila, alala na he, he ehetyimono tyalinga omona, neetyi alangala-po neetyi apinduka-po. 34 Monthiki yalandula-ko, otyiveli apopila ondenge okuti: “Ame nalala na tate kounthiki. Tumwavele vali ovinyu hono, ove nyingila-mo olala nae, tulinge ngootyo opo omuhoko wombunga ya tate utwaleko.” 35 Motyinthiki otyo, avape vali he ovinyu apialuka; ou omututu watyo, alala nae, he ahamono etyi omona alinga, neetyi alangala-po neetyi apinduka-po. 36 Ovana aveho va Lote avakala ovalemi va he. 37 Otyiveli tyatyo, akutula omona emuluku okuti o Moambe.+ Mwe omo mwatuka ova Moambe vo hono.+ 38 Ondenge yatyo nae akutula omona, emuluku okuti o Mbeni-Ami.
