19 Bamalaika babiji bafikile mu Sodoma mabanga kabiji Lota waikele ku kibelo kya Sodoma. Lota byo ebamwene, wibatundaijile ne kwibafukamina ne kukinka kilungi panshi.+ 2 Kabiji wibambijile’mba: “Mwane, anweba bankambo yami, twelai mu nzubo ya kalume wenu ne kwikalamo bufuku bonse, mowe ne ku maulu. Kepo mukemane lukelo mukayenga ko mubena kuya.” Abo bamwambijile’mba: “Ine, tusakulaala pa lubanza bufuku bonse.” 3 Bino aye wakoselepotu kya kuba ne abo batwelele mu nzubo yanji. Kepo ebanengezhejile kijiilo ne kosha shinkwa wabula mbizho ne abo bajiile.

4 Saka bakyangye kulaala, banabalume ba mu muzhi, bena Sodoma kutatwilatu ku banyike kufika ne ku bakulumpe, bonse bazhokolokele nzubo. 5 Kabiji baichilenga Lota ne kumwambila’mba: “Aba banabalume ba kwiya kwi obewa bufuku buno, baji pi? Tulupwilebo kuba’mba twilaale nabo.”+

6 Kepo Lota alupukile kuya kwi abo ne kushinka kinzhilo. 7 Wibambijile’mba: “Anweba balongo bami, kange mube kintu kyatama ne. 8 Nji na baana ba bakazhi babiji babula kulaalapo na mwanamulume. Lekai nemulupwilebo kuba’mba mwibobe kyonse kyo mwamona’mba kimuwamina. Pakuba bano banabalume kange mwibobe kintu nangwa kimo ne, mambo byo baji benyi bazhikijilwa mu nzubo yami.”+ 9 Abo bamwambijile’mba: “Fumako!” Kabiji banungilepo’mba: “Uno muntu waishiletu kwikala mwenyi kuno, kabiji etuchibilenga mambo! Pano tusakukuba kintu kyatama kukila kyo twasaka twibobe abo.” Ponkapo Lota bamubungile* ne kufwenya kwipi amba bapasule kinzhilo. 10 Onkao mambo, aba banabalume bajinga mukachi balupwile maboko ne kukokela Lota mu nzubo ne kushinka kinzhilo. 11 Kabiji bapofwile meso a boba banabalume bajinga pa kibelo kya nzubo kutatwilatu ku mwanyike kufika ne ku mukulumpe, kya kuba bakookejilemotu na kukeba pajinga kibelo.

12 Kepo bano banabalume bashikishe Lota amba: “Nanchi ujipo na balongo muno nyi? Bako bobe ba balume, baana bobe ba balume, baana bobe ba bakazhi ne bonse bo uji nabo mu ino mpunzha wibafumyemo. 13 Mambo tubena konauna ino mpunzha, mambo kwijizhanya pe abo kwaumvwanyika bingi kwi Yehoba,+ o ene mambo Yehoba o etutumina kwiya na konauna uno muzhi.” 14 Onkao mambo, Lota wayile na kubuula bako banji ba balume bakebelenga kusongola baana banji ne kwibambila’mba: “Pelawizhai! Fumaimo mu ino mpunzha, mambo Yehoba usakonauna uno muzhi!” Bino bako banji, bamwenenga nobe ubena kuba bisela.+

15 Byo bwayilenga na kukya, bamalaika bamukanjikizhe Lota amba: “Pelawizha! Senda mukazhobe ne baana bobe ba bakazhi babiji bo uji nabo muno, kuchina’mba wakonaikila mu bubi bwa uno muzhi!”+ 16 Byo akikankazhaminenga, na mambo a lusa lwa Yehoba lo amumwesheshe,+ bano banabalume bakwachile pa kuboko kwanji ne pa kuboko kwa mukazhanji ne pa maboko a baana banji ba bakazhi babiji, ne kumulupulamo ne kumutwala pangye ya muzhi.+ 17 Byo bebafikizhetu kunsa ya muzhi, umo wamwambijile’mba: “Nyema upulushe bumi* bobe! Kange utale kunyuma+ nangwa kwimana mu ino nkambi yonse ne!+ Nyemena ku mitumba kuchina’mba wakeya konaika!”

18 Kepo Lota ebambijile’mba: “Ine akwa ne, anweba Yehoba! 19 Mwane amiwa kalume wenu mwangubila bibusa ne lusa* pa kumpulusha,*+ bino kechi nakonsha kunyemena ku mpunzha ya mitumba ne, mambo nachina’mba kintu kyatama kyakammwekela ne amiwa nakafwa.+ 20 Mwane uno muzhi ujitu pepi kabiji nakonsha kunyemenamo; ke mpunzha ichechetu. Mwane kana nakonsha kunyemenako nyi? Ke mpunzha ichechetu. Kabiji nkapuluka* lonaiko.” 21 Aye wamwambijile’mba: “Kyawama, nsakuuba monka mo walangulukila+ kupichila mu kubula konauna uno muzhi ye watongola.+ 22 Pelawizha! Nyemena mu uno muzhi, mambo amiwa kechi nsakuba kintu nangwa kimo saka ukyangye kufika mu uno muzhi ne!”+ O ene mambo o atumbijile uno muzhi amba Zoala.*+

23 Lota wafikile mu Zoala juba saka jasela kala. 24 Kepo Yehoba anokeshe mabwe ateema mujilo ne mujilo pa Sodoma ne Gomola, bino bintu byafumine kwi Yehoba mwiulu.+ 25 Onkao mambo, waonawine ino mizhi ne nkambi yonse ne bantu bonse baikalanga mu ino mizhi ne byonse byamenene mu mushiji.+ 26 Bino muka Lota wamulondejilenga munyuma, watajile kunyuma kabiji waalukile ke jibwe ja mukele.+

27 Kabiji Abalahama wabuukile lukelokelo ne kuya ku mpunzha ko esambijile ne Yehoba.+ 28 Byo atajile ku Sodoma ne Gomola ne nkambi yonse, wamwene kyaubiwenga. Kwajinga bwishi bwafutumukilenga mu mpunzha nobe bwishi bwa kibili!+ 29 Onkao mambo, Lesa byo aonawine mizhi ya mu nkambi, wavulukile Abalahama kupichila mu kufumya Lota mu ino mizhi yo aonawine, mizhi mwaikalanga Lota.+

30 Palutwe kacheche, Lota wafumine ku Zoala na baana banji ba bakazhi babiji ne kuya na kukekala ku mpunzha ya mitumba+ mambo wachiine kwikala mu Zoala.+ Onkao mambo, waikelenga mu kibwe na baana banji ba bakazhi babiji. 31 Mubeji waambijile nkasanji amba: “Batata bakoma, kabiji kafwako mwanamulume mu ino mpunzha wa kwitusongola byonka byuba bantu bonse ne. 32 Pano twaya twibape binyu batata kuba’mba batome, tulaale nabo pa kuba’mba tulame kisemi kya batata.”

33 Byonkabyo, abwa bufuku bamupele shabo binyu; kepo mubeji atwelele ne kulaala na shanji, bino aye kechi wayukile kimye mwananji kyo alaajile nanji ne kyo abuukile ne. 34 Kabiji juba jalondejilepo, mubeji waambijile nkasanji amba: “Amiwa naji kulaala ne batata bufuku bwapita. Pano twaya twibape jikwabo binyu bufuku buno. Apa bino utwele ne kulaala nabo pa kuba’mba tulame kisemi kya batata.” 35 Onkao mambo, ne abwa bufuku bamupele jikwabo shabo binyu amba atome; kepo nkasanji atwelele ne kulaala na shanji, bino aye kechi wayukile kimye mwananji kyo alaajile nanji ne kyo abuukile ne. 36 Byonkabyo, baana ba bakazhi ba kwa Lota bonse babiji baimichile kwi shabo. 37 Mubeji wasemene mwana wa mulume ne kumutumba’mba Moabu.+ Aye ye shabo bena Moabu bajiko ne lelo jino.+ 38 Kabiji nkasanji naye wasemene mwana wa mulume ne kumutumba’mba Bena-ami. Aye ye shabo bena Amonyi+ bajiko ne lelo jino.
