10 Varume vacho* vakabva vatambanudzira maoko avo panze vakapinza Roti mumba mavakanga vari, vakavhara suo.
11 Asi vakapofumadza varume vakanga vari pasuo remba, kubvira kumudiki kusvika kumukuru, zvekuti vakasvika pakuneta vachitsvaga pane suo.
12 Varume vacho vakabva vati kuna Roti: “Une dzimwe hama here muno? Vakuwasha, vanakomana vako, vanasikana vako, nevanhu vako vese vari muguta, vabudise munzvimbo ino!
13 Tiri kuda kuparadza nzvimbo ino, nekuti Jehovha+ anzwa kunyunyuta kukuru kuri kuitwa pamusoro peguta rino, saka Jehovha atituma kuzoriparadza.”
14 Saka Roti akabuda akatanga kutaura nevakuwasha vake vaida kuroora vanasikana vake achiti: “Simukai! Budai munzvimbo ino, nekuti Jehovha ari kuda kuparadza guta rino!” Asi vakuwasha vake vaiona sekuti ari kutamba zvake.+
15 Ava mambakwedza, ngirozi dzakabva dzakurumidzisa Roti, dzichiti: “Simuka! Tora mudzimai wako nevanasikana vako vaviri vauinavo muno, kuti murege kuparadzwawo panoparadzwa guta rino nemhaka yezvivi zvaro!”+
16 Paakaramba achingotenderera-tenderera, varume vacho vakabata ruoko rwake nerwemudzimai wake pamwe nemaoko evanasikana vake vaviri, vakamubudisa ndokumumisa kunze kweguta+ nekuti akanga anzwirwa tsitsi+ naJehovha.
17 Pavakangovasvitsa kumucheto, mumwe wavo akati: “Tiza kuti upone!* Usacheuka+ uye hapana paunofanira kumira muruwa rwacho rwese!+ Tizira kumakomo kuti urege kuparadzwa!”
18 Roti akabva ati kwavari: “Aiwa Jehovha, musandiendesa ikoko ndapota!
19 Manzwira mushumiri wenyu nyasha uye muri kundiratidza mutsa wakakura,* nekundichengetedza ndiri mupenyu,*+ asi handikwanisi kutizira kumakomo nekuti ndinotya kuti dambudziko ringangondiwira ndikafa.+
20 Guta iri riri pedyo uye ndinogona kutizira ikoko; kanongova kanzvimbo kadiki. Ndinokumbirawo kutizira ikoko. Kanongova kanzvimbo kadiki. Uye ndichapona.”*
21 Saka akati kwaari: “Zvakanaka, ndichateerera chikumbiro chako,+ ndorega kuparadza guta rawataura.+
22 Kurumidza! Tizira ikoko, nekuti handina zvandinogona kuita kana usati wasvika ikoko!”+ Ndokusaka akatumidza guta racho kuti Zoari.*+
23 Zuva rakanga rabuda pakasvika Roti kuZoari.
24 Jehovha akabva anayisa sarufa nemoto paSodhomu neGomora; zvaibva kudenga+ kuna Jehovha.
25 Saka akaparadza maguta aya, ruwa rwacho rwese, kusanganisira vagari vese vemumaguta acho nezvese zvakanga zvakamera.+
26 Asi mudzimai waRoti, uyo akanga ari kumashure kwake, akatanga kucheuka, akabva ava shongwe yemunyu.+

28 Paakatarisa nechekuSodhomu neGomora uye nenyika yese yeruwa rwacho, zvaakaona zvakamutyisa. Kwakanga kuine utsi hutema-tema hwaikwira huchibva panyika yacho seutsi hutema-tema hwebisiro!*+
29 Saka Mwari paakaparadza maguta eruwa rwacho, Mwari akayeuka Abrahamu nekubudisa Roti mumaguta aakaparadza, maguta akanga achigarwa naRoti.+

31 Mukuru wacho akati kumunin’ina wake: “Baba vedu vakwegura, uye hakuna murume munyika ino wekuti arare nesu sezvinongoitwawo nevanhu vese panyika.
32 Uya tipe baba vedu waini vanwe, torara navo, kuti tichengetedze rudzi kubva kuna baba vedu.”
33 Saka usiku ihwohwo vakaramba vachipa baba vavo waini kuti vanwe; mukuru wacho akabva apinda akarara nababa vake, asi havana kuziva paakarara nepaakamuka.
34 Zuva rakatevera, mukuru wacho akabva ati kumudiki wacho: “Ndakarara nababa usiku hwapfuura. Ngativapeizve waini vanwe usiku huno, iwe wopindawo worara navo, tichengetedze rudzi kubva kuna baba vedu.”
