UGenesise 18

¹INkosi yabonakala kuye emathafeni aseMamre, yahlala ngasemnyango wetende ekushiseni kwemini;

²Waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona, bheka, amadoda amathathu emi ngakuye; kwathi ewabona, wagijima ukuwahlangabeza esuka emnyango wetende, wakhothamela phansi.

³Wathi: “Nkosi yami, uma ngifumene umusa emehlweni akho, ungadluli encekwini yakho.”

⁴Ake kulandwe amanzi, ugeze izinyawo zakho, uphumule ngaphansi kwesihlahla.

⁵Futhi ngizohamba ngithathe ucezu lwesinkwa futhi ngiduduze izinhliziyo zenu; emva kwalokho kumelwe udlule, ngoba yingakho uze encekwini yakho. Athi: Yenza njengokusho kwakho.

⁶U-Abrahama washesha waya kuSara etendeni, wathi: “Sheshisa ulungise amaseya amathathu empuphu ecolekileyo, uyixove, wenze amaqebelengwane eziko.

⁷U-Abhrahama wagijimela emhlambini, wathatha ithole elithambileyo nelihle, walinika ijaha; wayesekusheshisa.

⁸Wathatha amabhotela, nobisi, nethole abelilungisile, wakubeka phambi kwabo; wema nabo phansi kwesihlahla, badla.

⁹Bathi kuye: “Uphi uSara umkakho na?” Wathi: “Bheka, etendeni.”

¹⁰Wathi: “Impela ngiyakubuyela kuwe ngesikhathi sokuphila; bheka, umkakho uSara uzakuba nendodana. USara wezwa ngasemnyango wetende elingasemva kwakhe.

¹¹U-Abrahama noSara base bebadala, sebekhulile; kwase kunqamuka ukuba kuSara njengabesifazane.

¹²USara wahleka phakathi kwakhe, wathi: “Ngingajabula yini lapho sengimdala, nenkosi yami isindala na?”

¹³INkosi yasisithi kuAbrahama: Kungani uSara ehleka esithi: Isibili ngizazala umntwana oseluphele?

¹⁴Kukhona okunzima yini eNkosini? Ngesikhathi esimisiwe ngizabuyela kuwe, ngesikhathi sokuphila, njalo uSara uzakuba lendodana.

¹⁵USara waphika wathi: “Angihlekanga; ngoba wayesaba. Waphendula wathi: Hatshi; kodwa wahleka.

¹⁶Amadoda asuka lapho abheka ngaseSodoma; u-Abrahama wahamba nawo ukuba awangenise endleleni.

¹⁷INkosi yasisithi: Ngifihlele uAbrahama engikwenzayo yini?

¹⁸Bhekani ukuthi u-Abrahama uyakuba yisizwe esikhulu nesinamandla, nezizwe zonke zomhlaba ziyobusiswa ngaye?

¹⁹Ngokuba ngiyamazi, ukuze ayale abantwana bakhe nendlu yakhe emva kwakhe, bagcine indlela yeNkosi, benze ukulunga nokulunga; ukuze uJehova amehlisele u-Abrahama lokho ekushilo ngaye.

²⁰INkosi yasisithi: Ngoba isililo seSodoma leGomora sikhulu, langoba isono sabo sinzima kakhulu;

²¹Manje ngizokwehla ngibone uma benzile ngokuphelele ngokuvumelana nokukhala kwalokho okwafika kimi; futhi uma kungenjalo, ngizokwazi.

²²Amadoda afulathela lapho, aya eSodoma, kepha u-Abrahama wayemi phambi kukaJehova.

²³U-Abrahama wasondela, wathi: “Niyakubhubhisa olungileyo kanye nomubi na?”

²⁴Mhlawumbe kukhona abalungileyo abangamashumi amahlanu emzini; uyakuyichitha indawo, ungahawukeli abalungileyo abangamashumi ayisihlanu abakuyo na?

²⁵Makube kude nawe ukwenza kanjalo, ukubulala olungileyo kanye nomubi, nokuba olungileyo abe njengomubi, okude nawe; umahluleli womhlaba wonke akayikwenza ubulungisa na?

²⁶Yathi iNkosi: “Uma eSodoma ngifumana abalungileyo abangamashumi ayisihlanu emzini, ngiyakuhawukela yonke indawo ngenxa yabo.”

²⁷U-Abrahama waphendula, wathi: “Bheka, nginqume ukukhuluma neNkosi, eluthuli nomlotha.”

²⁸Mhlawumbe kuyakusweleka abahlanu kwabalungileyo abangamashumi amahlanu; Uzachitha umuzi wonke ngenxa yokuswela ezinhlanu? Wathi: “Uma ngifumana khona abangamashumi amane nanhlanu, angiyikubabhubhisa.”

²⁹Wabuye wakhuluma kuye, wathi: “Mhlawumbe kuyakutholwa abangamashumi amane.” Wathi: “Angiyikukwenza ngenxa yamashumi amane.”

³⁰Wathi kuye: “Mayingathukutheli iNkosi, mina-ke ngiyakukhuluma: Mhlawumbe kungafunyanwa abangamashumi amathathu.” Wathi: “Angiyikukwenza uma ngithola amashumi amathathu.”

³¹Wathi: “Bheka-ke, ngibeke phezu kwami ukukhuluma neNkosi: Mhlawumbe kuyotholwa abangamashumi amabili.” Wathi: “Angiyikuwubhubhisa ngenxa yabangamashumi amabili.”

³²Wathi: “INkosi mayingathukutheli, ngisakhuluma kanye nje: Mhlawumbe kungafunyanwa abayishumi khona.” Wathi: “Angiyikuwubhubhisa ngenxa yabayishumi.”

³³INkosi yasihamba indlela yayo, isiqedile ukukhuluma loAbrahama; uAbrahama wasebuyela endaweni yakhe.
