1 Ndipo anadza ku Sodomu madzulo amithenga awiri; ndipo Loti anakhala pa chipata cha Sodomu, ndipo Loti anaona iwo, nauka kuti akakomane nao, ndipo anaweramitsa pansi nkhope yake.
2 Ndipo anati, Taonanitu, Ambuye anga, tembenukanitu, kulowa m’nyumba mwa kapolo wanu, mugone usiku wonse, mutsuke mapazi anu, ndipo mudzalawira m’mawa kunka ulendo wanu. Ndipo anati, Iai; koma tigone m’khwalalamu usiku wonse.
3 Ndipo anawaumiriza iwo ndithu: ndipo anapatukira kwa iye, nalowa m’nyumba mwake; ndipo anawakonzera iwo madyerero, naphika mikate yopanda chotupitsa, ndipo anadya.
4 Koma asanagone, anthu a m’mzindamo anthu a Sodomu, anazinga nyumba, anyamata ndi okalamba, anthu onse a m’mbali zonse;
5 ndipo anamuitana Loti, nati kwa iye, Ali kuti anthu amene anadza kwa iwe madzulo ano, utitulutsire iwo kuti tiwadziwe.
6 Ndipo Loti anatulukira kwa iwo pakhomo, natseka chambuyo pakhomo pake.
7 Ndipo anati, Abale anga, musachitetu koipa kotere.
8 Taonanitu, ndili ndi ana aakazi awiri, amene sanadziwe mwamuna; ndiwatulutsire iwo kwa inu, muchite nao chomwe chikomera inu; koma anthu awa musawachitire iwo kanthu; chifukwa kuti anadza iwo pansi pa mthunzi wa tsindwi langa.
9 Ndipo anati iwo, Baima; natinso, Uyu anadza kuno kukhala ngati mlendo, ndipo afuna kutilamulira; tsopano tidzakuchitira iwe koipa koposa iwo. Ndipo iwo anamkakamiza munthuyo Loti ndithu, nayandikira kuti aswe chitseko.
10 Koma anthu aja anatulutsa dzanja lao, namlowetsa Loti momwe anali iwo m’nyumba, natseka pakhomo.
11 Ndipo anachititsa khungu m’maso mwa anthu amene anali pakhomo pa nyumba, aang’ono ndi aakulu, ndipo anavutika kufufuza pakhomo.
12 Ndipo anthu aja anati kwa Loti, Kodi muli nao ena pano? Mkamwini, ndi ana ako aamuna, ndi ana ako aakazi, ndi onse ali nao m’mzinda muno, utuluke nao m’malo muno:
13 popeza ife tidzaononga malo ano, chifukwa kulira kwao kwakula pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo Yehova anatitumiza ife kuti tiuononge.
14 Ndipo anatuluka Loti nanena nao akamwini ake amene amayenera kukwatira ana ake aakazi, nati, Taukani, tulukani m’malo muno; popeza Yehova adzaononga mzindawu; koma akamwini ake anamyesa wongoseka.
15 Pamene kunacha, amithengawo anafulumiza Loti, nati, Uka, tenga mkazi wako, ndi ana ako aakazi awiri amene ali kunowa, kuti munganyeke m’mphulupulu ya mzinda.
16 Koma anachedwa; ndipo anthuwo anamgwira dzanja lake, ndi dzanja la mkazi wake ndi dzanja la ana ake aakazi awiri; chifukwa cha kumchitira chifundo Yehova; ndipo anamtulutsa iye, namuika kunja kwa mzinda.
17 Ndipo panali pamene anawatulutsa iwo kunja, anati, Tapulumuka ndi moyo wako; usacheuke, usakhale pachigwa paliponse; thawira kuphiri, kuti unganyeke.
18 Ndipo Loti anati kwa iwo, Iaitu, mfumu;
19 taonanitu, kapolo wanu anapeza ufulu pamaso panu, ndipo munakuza chifundo chanu, chimene munandichitira ine, pakupulumutsa moyo wanga; ine sindikhoza kuthawira kuphiri kuti chingandipeze ine choipacho ndingafe;
20 taonanitu, mzinda uwu uli pafupi pothawirapo, ndipo uli waung’ono; ndithawiretu kumeneko, suli waung’ono nanga? Ndipo ndidzakhala ndi moyo.
21 Ndipo anati kwa iye, Taona, ndikuvomereza iwe pamenepanso kuti sindidzaononga mzinda uwu umene wandiuza.
22 Fulumira, thawira kumeneko; pakuti sindithai kuchita kanthu usadafike kumeneko. Chifukwa chake anatcha dzina la mzindawo Zowari.
23 Ndipo dzuwa lidakwera padziko pamene Loti anafika ku Zowari.
24 Ndipo Yehova anavumbitsa pa Sodomu ndi pa Gomora miyala yasulufurendi moto kutuluka kwa Mulungu kumwamba;
25 ndipo anaononga mizindayo, ndi chigwa chonse, ndi onse akukhala m’mizindamo, ndi zimene zimera panthaka.
26 Koma mkazi wake anacheuka ali pambuyo pake pa Loti, nasanduka mwala wamchere.
27 Ndipo Abrahamu analawira m’mamawa kunka kumalo kumene anaima pamaso pa Yehova:
28 ndipo anayang’anira ku Sodomu ndi ku Gomora ndi ku dziko lonse la chigwa, ndipo anapenya, taonanitu, utsi wa dzikolo unakwera, monga utsi wa ng’anjo.
29 Ndipo panali pamene Mulungu anaononga mizinda ya m’chigwa, Mulungu anakumbukira Abrahamu, natulutsa Loti pakati pa chionongeko, pamene anaononga mizinda m’mene anakhalamo Loti.
