Abrahamu kaweriti kalikala paligomi lwa liringu lyakuyi shaka sha shifuki paliwala, 2 na pakanyasuliti masu gakuyi, kawoniti wahenga watatu wagolokiti kutali padidini kulongolu kwakuyi. Yomberi pakawawoniti, katugiti kugenda kuwawanka. Pakasokiti kasuntamiti makukama 3 na kulonga, "Watuwa wangu, handa neni mpata upendelewu mumasu genu, Mwee watuwa, namumpita neni ntumintumi gwaku. 4 Hamjegeruwi mashi, shakapanu mnawi magulu na kwoyera pasi pa mtera. 5 Haniwajegeri shiboga mlii, su mpati likakala na kwenderea na mwanja gwenu, toziya mwiza kwa ntumintumi gwenu."

Na womberi wamwankula, "Gutendi ntambu yagulonga."

6 Su Abrahamu katenditi kalongola, kingiriti muliringu lyakaweriti Sara na kamgambiriti, "Gutendi kalongola, gutoli mawoku matatu ga ubumu na guteleki shiboga." 7 Shakapanu katugiti kugenda mushipinga sha wang'ombi, kasyaguliti ng'ombi kaherepa nentu, kampanana ntumintumi na yomberi kamlikituliti kalongola. 8 Shiboga pashiweriti kala, yomberi katoliti jibini ya maweli na vinofu vya ng'ombi ulii yakatandiritwi, kavituliti kulongolu kwa wahenga. Pawaweriti wankuliya, Abrahamu kaweriti kankuwahepa pakwegera pasi pa mtera.

9 Wahenga walii wamkosiyiti Abrahamu, "Kakoshi Sara mdala gwaku?"

Abrahamu kawankula, "Kamuliringu."

10 "Yumu gwawu yakaweriti mkulu kalongiti, nakaka hambuyi shaka gambira ashi mushinja shashiza na mdala gwaku hakaweri na mwana mpalu.

Sara kaweriti kakuzyetu paligomi lwa liringu pakapikanira." 11 Abrahamu na Sara waweriti wagogolu na Sara kwa vitwatira vya shidala kaweziti ndiri kupata mwana. 12 Su Sara kasekiti shimoyumoyu pakalihola, "Neni pamuhera na mpalu gwangu twawagogolu. Hashi, neni pawera mgogolu ntambu ayi, hanemeleri pang'onja na mpalu gwangu?"

13 "Shakapanu Mtuwa Mlungu kamkosiya Abrahamu, iwera ashi Sara kankuseka na katakula kuwera nakaka hampati mwana uganu neni mgogolu ntambu ayi? 14 Hashi kwana shitwatira shoseri shashikamala kwa Mtuwa? Hambuyi kwa gwenga shaka shilii shanukulagiliti na Sara hakaweri na mwana.

15 Kumbiti Sara kaweriti na lyoga, su kazyangiti kwa kulonga, nsekiti ndiri. Kumbiti Mtuwa Mlungu kamgambiriti, gusekiti."

16 Shakapanu wahenga pawimukiti kuwuka, womberi waloliti kugenda Sodoma na Abrahamu kalikoliti nawu munjira. 17 "Su Mtuwa kalonga, hashi, nimfifi Abrahamu shitwatira shang'enda kutenda? 18 Nakaka yomberi hakaweri tati gwa isi zivuwa na kupitira yomberi wantu woseri pasipanu hawatekelerwi." 19 Nimsyaguliti yomberi, mweni hakawafundi wakuyi pamuhera na kaya yakuwi kufata njira yangu, su waweri waheri na yawatenda vitwatira viheri, naneni mpati kutenda shilii shanagaliti. 20 "Su Mtuwa Mlungu kalongiti, mashongeru makulu kuusu wantu wa Sodoma na Gomora pamuhera na vidoda vyawu, viwera vikulu." 21 Su hansuluki kugenda aku nikaloli namweni handa nakaka gawatenditi gawera madoda kulinganira na mashongeru ntambu yaganiziliti. Paiwera ndiri, hanivimani.

22 Wahenga wawili walii waloliti kugenda Sodoma, kumbiti Abrahamu kasigaliti pakagoloka kulongolu kwa Mtuwa Mlungu. 23 "Su Abrahamu kamsegelera Mtuwa Mlungu, kamkosiya, hashi haguwagamiziyi wantu waheri pamuhera na wakondola?" 24 "Hashi, handa kwana wantu waheri malongu muhanu mlushi amu, haguwagamiziyi na hapeni gululeki kwajili ya wantu malongu muhanu waheri yawawera mlushi amu? 25 Ashi shiweri kutali nagwenga, kutenda shitwatira gambira ashi, kuwalaga waheri pamuhera na wakondola, kuwatendera waheri teratera na wakondola. Iweri kutali na gwenga! Gwenga guwera Mtoza gwa pasipanu poseri na hagutendi lyaliwera teratera."

26 Mtuwa kamgambira, "Handa pamona wantu malongu muhanu waheri mlushi lwa Sodoma, hanilulekiziyi lushi lwoseri kwajili ya womberi."

27 Abrahamu kalonga kayi, "Vinu neni wera na ugangamala wa kuyowera na Mtuwa, tembera neni shintu ndiri kumbiti wera lidika na livu hera, 28 hashi handa mawalanga ga yawawera waheri gapungula wamuhanu mumalongu muhanu, hagulwagamiziyi lushi lwoseri toziya ya wantu wamuhanu yawapungukiti? Mtuwa Mlungu kamgambiriti, handa haniwawona aku wantu malongu msheshi na muhanu, hapeni nilwagamiziyi."

29 Abrahamu kayowera nayu kayi, hashi, "Handa kwana wantu malongu msheshi hera?"

Mtuwa Mlungu kamwankula, "Hapeni nilwagamiziyi handa kwana wantu malongu msheshi."

30 Shakapanu yomberi kalongiti, "Gwee Mtuwa Mlungu shondo shondi nagukalala, kumbiti gundeki nkosiyi. Hashi, handa aku kwana wantu malongu matatu hera?"

Mtuwa kawankula, "Hapeni nilwagamiziyi panuwawona aku wantu malongu matatu."

31 Su Abrahamu kalongiti, "Vinu neni wera na ugangamala nentu kuyowera na Mtuwa, hashi handa kwana wantu malongu mawili hera?"

Mtuwa kamwankula, "Toziya ya wantu malongu mawili, hapeni nilwagamiziyi."

32 Abrahamu kalonga, "Mtuwa shondi shondi nagukalala, kumbiti gundekeziyi nyoweri kayi mala yimu hera. Hayiweri hashi handa kwana wantu lilongu aku?"

Mtuwa kamwankula, "Toziya ya wantu lilongu awa, hapeni nilwagamiziyi."

33 Mtuwa Mlungu pakamaliliti kuyowera na Abrahamu, kawukiti na Abrahamu kawuyiti ukaya kwakuyi.
