Genesis 18:1-33
18 Ofimbo Abraham a li omutumba poshivelo shetwali moshanga shomutenya, Jehova okwa li e mu lihololela momiti da kula daMamre.
2 Opo nee Abraham okwa yelula omesho, nokwa mona ovalumenhu vatatu va fikama kokule naye. Eshi e va mona, okwa dja po petwali ta tondoka e ke va shakeneke, ndele te linyongamene pedu.
3 Abraham okwa ti: “Jehova,* ngeenge owa hokwa nge, ino pitilila omupiya woye.
4 Etelweni omeva mu koshwe keemhadi, ndele tamu fuda po momudile womuti.
5 Molwaashi omwe uya komupiya weni, nandi mu etele omungome mu lye,* opo mu dule okuya nondjila yeni.” Opo nee ova tya: “Oshi li nawa, ninga ngaashi wa popya.”
6 Onghee Abraham okwa ya divadiva kuSara ketwali, ndele ta ti kuye: “Kufa diva oimbale itatu* youfila wa nakwa nawa, ndele to lungu olumbololo u ninge omingome.”
7 Opo nee Abraham okwa ya koshiunda meendelelo, ndele ta hoolola ondumetana. Okwe i yandja komupiya, opo e i longekide divadiva.
8 Abraham okwa kufa omaadi, omashini nosho yo ondumetana oyo a longekida, ndele te va pe va lye. Okwa kala ofika puvo momuti, eshi va li tava li.
9 Ovalumenhu ovo ova pula Abraham, va ti: “Omukulukadi woye Sara oku li peni?” Okwa nyamukula, a ti: “Oku li metwali.”
10 Umwe womovalumenhu ovo okwa ti: “Ohandi ke ku alukila modula tai uya pefimbo eli, nomukulukadi woye Sara ota ka kala e na okaana okamati.” Sara okwa li ta pwilikine e li poshivelo shetwali, olo la li konima yomulumenhu oo.
11 Abraham naSara ova li va kulupa neenghono. Sara okwa li a pita mo mefimbo lokumona ounona.*
12 Onghee Sara okwa hovela okuliyola, ndele ta ti: “Ame onda kulupa nomwene wange okwa kulupa, mbela ohandi ka hafela ngoo vali oshinima sha tya ngaho?”
13 Opo nee Jehova okwa tya kuAbraham: “Omolwashike Sara ta yolo, ndele ta ti, ‘Mbela ohandi ka dala tuu vali, eshi nda kulupa ngaha?’
14 Mbela ope na ngoo osho tashi nyenge Jehova? Ohandi ke ku alukila modula tai uya pefimbo eli, na Sara ota ka kala e na okaana okamati.”
15 Ashike Sara okwa li te likale ta ti, “inandi yola,” molwaashi okwa li a tila. Opo nee Kalunga okwa tya: “Oshili, owa yola.”
16 Eshi ovalumenhu va fikama va ye, Abraham okwe va findikila, fiyo osheshi va fika ponhele opo tava dulu okumona Sodom.
17 Jehova okwa tya: “Mbela ohandi holeke Abraham osho handi ka ninga?
18 Oludalo laAbraham otali ka ninga oshiwana shinene noshinaenghono, noiwana aishe yokombada yedu otai ka nangekwa noupuna* omolwaye.
19 Abraham ondi mu shii nawa, nonde lineekela kutya ota ka wilika ovanamati vaye novaneumbo laye va kale hava diinine eendjila daJehova mokulonga osho shi li mondjila nosha yuka, opo Jehova a wanife po osho a udanekela Abraham.”
20 Jehova okwa tya: “Onda uda ovanhu tava ngongota unene kombinga yaSodom naGomorra, noulunde wayo owa kwata moiti neenghono.
21 Ohandi i ko ndi ka tale, ngeenge ovanhu otave lihumbata ngaashi nda uda. Nongeenge hasho, ohandi ke shi mona.”
22 Ovalumenhu vavali ova ya va finda kuSodom, ashike Jehova okwa kala po naAbraham.
23 Opo nee Abraham okwa ehena puye, ndele te mu pula ta ti: “Mbela oto ka hanauna po ovayuki pamwe novakolokoshi?
24 Ngeenge moshilando omu na ovanhu ovayuki 50, mbela oto ke va hanauna po, noito ka fila onghenda onhele oyo omolwovayuki 50 ovo ve li mo?
25 Itashi shiiva u katuke ngaho, nokuhanauna po ovayuki pamwe novakolokoshi. Ito ka efa nande ovayuki novakolokoshi va mone oidjemo ya faafana. Itashi shiiva u ninge ngaho. Mbela Omutokoli wedu alishe ita longo osho sha yuka?”
26 Jehova okwa nyamukula, a ti: “Ngeenge moshilando shaSodom onda hange mo ovayuki 50, ohandi ka fila onghenda oshilando ashishe omolwavo.”
27 Ashike Abraham okwa nyamukula, a ti: “Alikana, onda hala okupopya naJehova, nonande ame ondwi yedu nomunhu wongaho.
28 Ngeenge moshilando owa hange mo ovayuki 45, mbela oto ka hanauna po oshilando ashishe omolwavenya vatano?” Okwa tya: “Ngeenge onda hange mo 45, itandi ke shi hanauna po.”
29 Ashike Abraham okwa popya naye natango ta ti: “Ngeenge owa hange mo 40?” Okwa nyamukula, a ti: “Itandi ke shi hanauna po omolwovanhu ovo 40.”
30 Abraham okwa twikila ko, a ti: “Jehova, ino handuka, pitike nge ndi popye vali: Ngeenge owa hange mo 30?” Okwa nyamukula, a ti: “Itandi ke shi hanauna po omolwovanhu ovo 30.”
31 Okwa twikila ko, a ti: “Alikana, onda hala okupopya naJehova: Ngeenge owa hange mo 20?” Okwa nyamukula, a ti: “Itandi ke shi hanauna po omolwovanhu ovo 20.”
32 Xuuninwa, Abraham okwa tya: “Jehova, ino handuka, pitike nge ndi popye vali: Ngeenge owa hange mo ovanhu omulongo?” Okwa nyamukula, a ti: “Itandi ke shi hanauna po omolwovanhu ovo omulongo.”
33 Eshi Jehova a mana okupopya naAbraham, okwa dja po puye, na Abraham okwa shuna konhele yaye.
