20 UJehova wasesithi: “Insolo ngeSodoma leGomora inkulu sibili+ njalo isono sabantu bakhona sikhulu kakhulu.+

5 Ayelokhu ememeza uLothi esithi: “Angaphi amadoda afike emzini wakho lamuhla kusihlwa? Wakhiphele phandle ukuze silale lawo.”+

6 Kanti njalo wajezisa amadolobho eSodoma leGomora ngokuwatshisa abe ngumlotha,+ etshengisa abantu abangamesabiyo isibonelo salokho okuzayo.+ 7 Kodwa wahlenga uLothi+ umuntu olungileyo owayekhathazeke kakhulu ngokuxhwala* kwabantu ababengelamthetho— 8 ngoba nsuku zonke umuntu lo olungileyo wayehlukuluzeka emphefumulweni* wakhe ngenxa yezenzo ezimbi ayezibona layezizwa ngesikhathi ehlala phakathi kwabantu labo ababengelamthetho.

7 Labantu beSodoma leGomora kanye lababesemadolobheni ayeseduze babefeba,* beziphatha ngendlela eyenyanyekayo futhi belandela izifiso zenyama ezingayisizo zemvelo.+ Abantu laba bayisixwayiso kithi ngoba bahlulelwa bajeziswa ngokubhujiswa ngomlilo waphakade.+
