14 Igihe Amurafeli yari umwami w’i Shinari,+ Ariyoki ari umwami wa Elasari, Kedorulawomeri+ ari umwami wa Elamu+ na Tidali ari umwami w’i Goyimu, 2 abo bami barwanye na Bera umwami w’i Sodomu,+ na Birusha umwami w’i Gomora,+ na Shinabu umwami wa Adima, na Shemeberi umwami w’i Zeboyimu+ n’umwami w’i Bela (ari ho hitwa Sowari). 3 Abo bose bateranyirije hamwe ingabo zabo mu Kibaya* cy’i Sidimu,+ ari ho hari Inyanja y’Umunyu.+
4 Bari barakoreye Kedorulawomeri mu gihe cy’imyaka 12, ariko mu mwaka wa 13 bamwigomekaho. 5 Nuko mu mwaka wa 14, Kedorulawomeri azana n’abami bari kumwe na we, maze batsindira Abarefayimu muri Ashiteroti-karunayimu, batsindira Abazuzimu i Hamu, batsindira Abemimu+ i Shave-kiriyatayimu, 6 batsindira n’Abahori+ mu misozi yabo y’i Seyiri+ babageza muri Eli-parani hafi y’ubutayu. 7 Hanyuma barahindukira batera muri Eni-mishipati, ari ho hitwa Kadeshi,+ maze batsinda igihugu cyose cy’Abamaleki+ n’Abamori+ bari batuye i Hasasoni-tamari.+
8 Icyo gihe umwami w’i Sodomu ajya kurwana ari kumwe n’umwami w’i Gomora, umwami wa Adima, umwami w’i Zeboyimu n’umwami w’i Bela (ari ho hitwa Sowari), barwanira na bo mu Kibaya cy’i Sidimu. 9 Barwana na Kedorulawomeri umwami wa Elamu, Tidali umwami w’i Goyimu, Amurafeli umwami w’i Shinari na Ariyoki umwami wa Elasari.+ Abami bane barwanya abami batanu. 10 Icyo gihe Ikibaya cy’i Sidimu cyari cyuzuyemo imyobo irimo godoro.* Maze abami b’i Sodomu n’i Gomora barahunga bagwa muri iyo myobo, abasigaye bahungira mu karere k’imisozi miremire. 11 Hanyuma abatsinze bafata ibintu byose by’i Sodomu n’i Gomora n’ibyokurya byabo byose maze baragenda.+ 12 Nanone batwara Loti, umuhungu wa mukuru wa Aburamu, batwara n’ibintu bye. Icyo gihe Loti yari atuye i Sodomu.+
13 Hanyuma umuntu wari wabacitse araza abibwira Aburamu w’Umuheburayo. Icyo gihe yabaga mu mahema mu biti binini bya Mamure w’Umwamori,+ umuvandimwe wa Eshikoli na Aneri.+ Abo bagabo bari baragiranye isezerano na Aburamu. 14 Aburamu yumva ko hari abantu bajyanye mwene wabo.+ Nuko yegeranya abantu be batojwe kurwana, ni ukuvuga abagaragu 318 bavukiye mu rugo iwe, maze akurikira ba bami agera i Dani.+ 15 Bigeze nijoro ashyira ingabo ze mu matsinda maze we n’izo ngabo barwanya ba bami barabatsinda. Bakomeza kubakurikira babageza i Hoba, mu majyaruguru y’i Damasiko. 16 Nuko agarura ibintu byose bari batwaye, agarura na mwene wabo Loti n’ibintu bye n’abagore n’abandi bantu.
17 Igihe Aburamu yari avuye gutsinda Kedorulawomeri n’abami bari kumwe na we, umwami w’i Sodomu yaje kumusanganira, amusanga mu Kibaya cya Shave, ari cyo Kibaya cy’Umwami.+ 18 Nanone Melikisedeki+ umwami w’i Salemu+ akaba yari n’umutambyi w’Imana Isumbabyose+ azanira Aburamu umugati na divayi.
19 Nuko amuha umugisha aravuga ati:
“Imana Isumbabyose,
Yo Muremyi w’ijuru n’isi ihe umugisha Aburamu.
20 Kandi Imana Isumbabyose nisingizwe,
Yo yatumye utsinda abagukandamizaga!”
Nuko Aburamu amuha icya cumi cy’ibyo yari yagaruje byose.+
21 Hanyuma umwami w’i Sodomu abwira Aburamu ati: “Mpa abantu, ariko ibintu byo ubyijyanire.” 22 Aburamu asubiza umwami w’i Sodomu ati: “Ndahiriye imbere ya Yehova Imana Isumbabyose, Umuremyi w’ijuru n’isi nzamuye ukuboko, 23 ko uhereye ku rudodo ukageza ku mushumi w’urukweto, nta kintu cyawe nzatwara kugira ngo utazavuga uti: ‘ni njye watumye Aburamu aba umukire.’ 24 Nta kintu na kimwe ntwara, keretse ibyo aba basore bamaze kurya. Naho abo twajyanye ari bo Aneri, Eshikoli na Mamure,+ na bo ubareke batware umugabane wabo.”
