19 Malaikha ale manli yaahiphiya oSodoma, nsuwa nihalaka okela. Lothi iira okilanthi ene vamukhora wa oSodoma. Okathi Lothi aawenhe awe malaikha ale, aahivenya orowa okumana naawo, uurama mpakha vathi.+ 2 Nto Lothi aahiwiirela: “Xontte, atthu ahapuwele vatthokoni vaka, miyo murumeyi anyu, wiira sirapihiwe inawu saya, yavirihe weiwo ohiyu ola. Meelo voosiisu atthu anootthikelaka ekwaha aya”. Malaikha ale yaahimwaakhula wiira: “Nnaari ninrowa orupa mphironi muumu ohiyu ola”. 3 Masi Lothi aahithipelela vanceene, mpakha awo omutthara owannyawe. Owo aahiwaapeela yoolya ni aahooxa ephaawu yoohiheliwa eferemento, nto awosa yaahilya.

4 Ahinatthi orowa orupa, muttitthi wootakhala wa alopwana ootheene a epooma ya oSodoma waahirwa, okhuma amiravo mpakha atthu oowuuluvala, arukurerya empa ya Lothi. 5 Awo yaanimwiitthana Lothi akhuwelaka wiira: “Alopwana arwiiye ohiyu ola vatthokoni vanyu-va, ari vai? Mwaakumiherye ota nno wiira naarupihe”.+

6 Lothi aahikhumela ota, khuwala mukhora. 7 Nto aahihimya wiira: “Xontte axinnaka, muhipake etthu yootakhala. 8 Kookhalana anamwane axithiyana ahitonko orupa ni mulopwana. Mukihiye kaakumiherye ota nno, nyuwosa nwiiriheke etthu munoona anyu oreerela. Masi muhiwiirihe etthu yootakhala alopwana ala, okhala wiira aletto vatthokoni vaka”.+ 9 Awo yaahimuleela wiira: “Mukhume-vo!” Ni yaahihimya-tho wiira: “Nyuwo murimoorwa okhala elapo ela, vanikhala sai muniphukelaka hiyo? Ninrowa owiirihani etthu yootepa otakhala ovikana naakela ahu owiiriha alopwana awo”. Awo yaahimukakha Lothi, anaphavela opwexa mukhora. 10 Alopwana ale anli yaahookola moono aya, yaahimukeliha Lothi mpaani, khuwala mukhora. 11 Nave yaahaakumiherya eretta ya ohoona atthu ale yaari vamukhora, okhuma acikhaani mpakha aalupale. Siiso, atthu awo yaahikhulumulana yaawo-ru yeereryaka okela vamukhora.

12 Alopwana ale yaahimukoha Lothi wiira: “Mookhalana amusi akina epooma ela? Mwaakuxe amusi anyu anikhala epooma ela, eyo piiyo, axiiyaya aniinyu,* ni aniinyu axilopwana ni axithiyana, mwaakumihe epooma ela! 13 Hiyo ninrowa opwetexa epooma ela, okhala wiira Yehova ohiiwa wunlaseya wa atthu,+ mwaha wa atthu ootakhala a epooma ela. Tivonto, Yehova ooniruma wiira nipwetexe epooma ela”. 14 Lothi aahirowa olavula ni alopwana yaarowa waathela anaawe axithiyana, onaaleela wiira: “Nvenye! Mukhume epooma ela, okhala wiira Yehova onrowa opwetexa epooma ela!” Masi alopwana awo yoona wiira Lothi aamuthweela.+

15 Vahalaka oxa, malaikha yaahithipelela omuleela Lothi wiira: “Nvenye! Mmukuxe mwaarinyu ni aniinyu anli axithiyana ari ni nyuwo, mutthyawe wiira muhipwetexiwe mwaha wa itthu sootakhala sa epooma ela!”+ 16 Okhala wiira Lothi aanipisa, awo yaahinvarela ntata nawe, yaahivarela ntata na amwaarawe ni matata a anaawe anli axithiyana, maana Yehova aaniwoonela othunku.+ Vano awo yaahaakumiherya ota wa epooma ele, yaahiya weiwo.+ 17 Nuumala waakumiherya ota wa epooma ele, mmosa a alopwana ale aahihimya wiira: “Mwaaphavelaka okhala mukumi, mutthyawe! Muhiwehe ottuli+ nnakhala muheemele nipuro nimosa na edistritu ya oYordani!+ Mutthyawele omiyaakoni wiira muhipwetexiwe!”

18 Lothi aahiwaakhula wiira: “Xontte Yehova muhikiroihe wuuwu! 19 Mookimorela ikharari miyo murumeyi anyu ni mookireerela murima vanceene ni mookoopola.+ Masi miyo nkikhanle oorowa omiyaakoni, maana kinnoova wiira ehasara eyo enookiphwanya, ekiive.+ 20 Yookhala epooma yaamukhaani waattamela vaava, nto miyo pooti otthyawela weiwo. Xontte mukeemererye otthyawela weiwo wiira koopowe. Eyo epooma yaamukhaani”. 21 Nto owo aahimuleela Lothi wiira: “Vaareera. Kinoopaka etthu evenke anyu,+ nkinrowa opwetexa epooma eromonle anyu.+ 22 Mwaakuveke! Mutthyawele weiwo, okhala wiira nkinrowa opaka etthu muhinatthi ophiya!”+ Tivonto epooma eyo yaavahiwe aya nsina noowi Sowari.*+

23 Okathi Lothi aaphiyale awe oSowari, nsuwa niira nikhumme ene. 24 Nuumala-vo, Yehova aahirupihela epula ya enxoofere ni mooro epooma ya oSodoma ni oGomora. Itthu iyo saakhuma wa Yehova, wiirimu.+ 25 Nihiku nle, Muluku aahipwetexa ipooma iye, ohela muhina ipooma sootheene sa muttetthe ole. Nave-tho, aahaapwetexa atthu yaakhala mittetthe iye ni aahipaha miri sootheene.+ 26 Masi mwaarawe Lothi, yoowo aari ottuli wa iyawe, aahiweha ottuli, nto aahithatuwa nripu na maakha.+

27 Vano Abrahamu aahivenya oxaka, onarowa opuro yoole aakumanne awe ni Yehova.+ 28 Okathi Abrahamu aawenhe awe oSodoma ni oGomora ni ipooma sootheene sa muttetthe ole, owo aahoona etthu yoowoopiha. Aahiweha mwiixi wooriipa okhumaka elapo ele, yoowo waalikana ni efornu yuulupale!*+ 29 Nto Muluku khaaliyanle etthu aamuhimenrye awe Abrahamu. Tivo, okathi Muluku aapwetenxe awe ipooma iye, aahimukumiha Lothi. Ipooma iye ti seiye aakhala awe Lothi.+

30 Nuuvira okathi, Lothi aahikhuma oSowari ni anaawe anli axithiyana, onarowa okhala omiyaakoni,+ maana aanoova okhala oSowari.+ Tivo, owo aakhala mukhukuni ni anaawe anli axithiyana. 31 Mwaana oopacerya oyariwa aahimuleela muhima awe wiira: “Apaapa ahuuluvala, nave elapo ela khokhanle mulopwana wiira onithele ntoko atthu aniira aya. 32 Nrowe naavahe eviinyu apaapa wiira awurye, nuumala-vo, narupe naawo wiira naayarele anamwane”.

33 Ohiyu yoole, awo yaahaahapaliha apapaya. Vano, mwaana oopacerya oyariwa aahirupa ni paapa awe. Masi Lothi khaasuwenle okathi mwanawe ammaathale awe, nnakhala okathi aavennye awe. 34 Mmeeloni mwaya, mwaana oopacerya oyariwa aahimuleela muhima awe wiira: “Ohiyu ovinre, miyo koorupa ni apaapa. Nrowe-tho naavahe eviinyu ohiyu ola. Nuumala-vo, nyuwo mwarupe naawo wiira naayarele anamwane apaapa”. 35 Nave-tho ohiyu ole, awo yaahimuhapaliha paapa aya ni eviinyu. Vano ole mukhaani aahirowa orupa ni paapa awe. Masi Lothi khaasuwenle okathi mwanawe ammaathale awe, nnakhala okathi aavennye awe. 36 Vano anamwane ale anli a Lothi yaahirupalihiwa ni apapaya. 37 Mwaana oopacerya oyariwa aahimuyara mwaana mwaamulopwana ni aahinvaha nsina noowi Mowabi.+ Mowabi owo tori muhavinre a atthu a oMowabi olelo-va.+ 38 Nave-tho, mwaana mukhaani aahimuyara mwaana mwaamulopwana ni aahinvaha nsina noowi Beni-Ami. Bini-Ami owo tori muhavinre a atthu a wAmoni+ olelo-va.
