Intangiriro

13 Nyuma y’ibyo Aburamu ava muri Egiputa we n’umugore we n’ibyo yari atunze byose, ajyana na Loti bagera i Negebu.+ 2 Kandi Aburamu yari umukire cyane afite amatungo, zahabu n’ifeza.+ 3 Nuko ava i Negebu yerekeza i Beteli, akajya agenda yimuka aba ahantu hatandukanye, agera aho yari yarashinze ihema bwa mbere, hagati y’i Beteli na Ayi.+ 4 Aho ni ho igicaniro yubatse mbere cyari kiri. Nuko Aburamu ahageze asenga Yehova avuga izina rye.

5 Icyo gihe Loti wagendanaga na Aburamu, na we yari afite intama, inka n’amahema. 6 Nuko aho hantu hababana hato ntibashobora kuhatura bose kubera ko ibyo bari batunze byari byarabaye byinshi cyane, bigatuma badashobora gukomeza kubana. 7 Ibyo byatumye abashumba b’amatungo ya Aburamu n’abashumba b’amatungo ya Loti batongana. (Icyo gihe Abanyakanani n’Abaperizi ni bo bari batuye muri icyo gihugu.)+ 8 Hanyuma Aburamu abwira Loti+ ati: “Si byiza ko njye nawe dutongana ngo n’abashumba bacu batongane kuko twembi turi abavandimwe. 9 Reka dutandukane uture aho ushaka muri iki gihugu. Nujya ibumoso ndajya iburyo, nujya iburyo ndajya ibumoso.” 10 Nuko Loti yitegereza hirya no hino abona akarere kose ka Yorodani,+ abona ko hose hari amazi menshi. Abona hameze nk’ubusitani bwa Yehova,*+ mbese hameze nk’igihugu cya Egiputa kugeza i Sowari.+ Icyo gihe hari mbere y’uko Yehova arimbura Sodomu na Gomora. 11 Loti ahitamo akarere kose ka Yorodani, maze arimuka ajya gutura mu burasirazuba, nuko baratandukana. 12 Aburamu atura mu gihugu cy’i Kanani, ariko Loti we atura mu mijyi yo muri ako karere.+ Amaherezo aza gushinga ihema rye hafi y’i Sodomu. 13 Abantu b’i Sodomu bari babi kandi bakoreraga Yehova ibyaha bikomeye.+

14 Nuko Loti amaze gutandukana na Aburamu, Yehova abwira Aburamu ati: “Itegereze uhereye aho uri, urebe mu majyaruguru, mu majyepfo, mu burasirazuba no mu burengerazuba, 15 kuko iki gihugu cyose ureba nzakiguha wowe n’abazagukomokaho kugeza iteka ryose.+ 16 Kandi abazagukomokaho nzabagira benshi bangane n’umukungugu wo mu isi. Nk’uko nta muntu washobora kubara umukungugu wo hasi, n’abazagukomokaho bazaba benshi ku buryo nta muntu ushobora kubabara.+ 17 None rero haguruka ugende, utambagire iki gihugu mu burebure bwacyo no mu bugari bwacyo, kuko ari wowe nzagiha.” 18 Nuko Aburamu akomeza kuba mu mahema. Nyuma yaho ajya gutura mu biti binini by’i Mamure,+ biri i Heburoni.+ Ahageze yubakira Yehova igicaniro.+
