Genesis 19 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

19 ¹Angelo awiri anafika ku Sodomu madzulo amenewo; ndipo Loti anali atakhala pa chipata cha Sodomu. Ataawaona, anaimirira kukakumana nawo, nawerama, nkugwetsa nkhope pansi. ^a a v1 Awiri okha mwa atatu amene anaonekera kwa Abrahamu ku Mamre ndiwo anapitiriza ulendo ku Sodomu — Atate wathu anatsala, nayenda ndi Abrahamu; angelo awiriwa ndiwo anapititsa patsogolo chiweruzo. ²Iye anati, “Chonde, ambuye anga, patukirani ku nyumba ya kapolo wanu, mugone usiku uno, musambe mapazi anu; mudzuke m'mawa, mupite ku njira yanu.” Koma iwo anati, “Ayi, tidzagona pa bwalo.”

³Koma anawaumiriza kwambiri, kotero iwo anapatukira kwa iye, nalowa m'nyumba yake. Anawakonzera phwando, naphika mkate wopanda yisiti, ndipo anadya. ⁴Asanagone, amuna a mu mzindawo—amuna a Sodomu—achinyamata ndi okalamba, anthu onse popanda kutsala ndi mmodzi, anazungulira nyumbayo. ⁵Anaitana Loti, nati, “Ali kuti amuna amene adza kwa iwe usiku uno? Watulutse kunja—kuti tigone nawo.”

⁶Loti anatuluka kunja kwa iwo pa khomo, natseka chitseko kumbuyo kwake, ⁷nati, “Chonde, abale anga, musachite zoipa. ⁸Ndili ndi ana aakazi awiri amene sanagonanepo ndi mwamuna. Ndidzawatulutsa kwa inu—muwachitire monga momwe mukufunira. Koma musawachitire kanthu amuna awa; chifukwa adza mu chitetezo cha denga langa.”

⁹Iwo anati, “Choka apa!” Kenaka anati, “Mlendo uyu anadza kudzakhala, ndipo tsopano akutiweruza? Tidzakuchitira iwe zoipa kuposa iwowo.” Anaumirira Loti kwambiri, nasendera kuti athyole chitseko. ¹⁰Koma amunawo anatambasula manja, namukokera Loti m'nyumba kwa iwo, natseka chitseko. ¹¹Anawachititsa khungu amuna amene anali pa khomo la nyumba, aang'ono ndi aakulu, kufikira anatopa kufunafuna khomo.

¹²Amunawo anati kwa Loti, “Ndani wina uli naye pano—mkamwini, ana aamuna, ana aakazi, kapena aliyense wako mu mzinda? Watulutse m'malo ano. ¹³Pakuti tili pafupi kuwononga malo ano - kulira kodandaula kotsutsa anthu ake kwakula kwambiri pamaso pa Atate wathu, ndipo Atate wathu anatituma kuti tiwawononge.”

¹⁴Loti anatuluka, nalankhula ndi akamwini ake, amene anapalana ndi ana ake aakazi, nati, “Nyamukani, chokani m'malo ano—pakuti Atate wathu ali pafupi kuwononga mzindawu!” Koma akamwini ake anaona ngati akungoseka.

¹⁵Kutacha, angelo anafulumiza Loti, nati, “Dzuka, tenga mkazi wako ndi ana ako aakazi awiri amene ali pano, kuti ungawonongeke pa chilango cha mzindawu.” ¹⁶Iye anazengereza, kotero amunawo anagwira dzanja lake, ndi la mkazi wake, ndi la ana ake aakazi awiri, pakuti Atate wathu anamchitira chifundo, ndipo anamtulutsa, namusiya kunja kwa mzindawo. ¹⁷Atawatulutsira kunja, mmodzi wa iwo anati, “Thawa kuti upulumutse moyo wako! Usacheuke kumbuyo kapena kuima paliponse m'chigwa. Thawira ku mapiri, kuti ungakokoloredwe.”

¹⁸Koma Loti anati kwa iwo, “Ayi, chonde, Atate wanga Wolamulira. ¹⁹Kapolo wanu wapeza chisomo pamaso panu; mwandionetsa kukoma mtima kwakukulu pakupulumutsa moyo wanga. Koma sindingathe kuthawira ku mapiri—tsoka lidzandigwira ndipo ndidzafa. ²⁰Chonde—mzinda uja uli pafupi, waung'ono woti ndingathawireko. Ndiloleni ndithawireko—kodi suli waung'ono?—kuti ndikhale ndi moyo.”

²¹Iye anati kwa iye, “Ndakupatsa chisomo ichinso: sindidzagwetsa mzinda umene wautchula. ²²Fulumira, thawira kumeneko—chifukwa sindingachite kanthu kufikira utafika.” Ndicho chifukwa chake mzindawo unatchedwa Zoari. ^b b v22 Zoari kutanthauza “kang'ono” — Loti anatcha mzindawo malinga ndi pempho lake lomwe kuti unali “waung'ono chabe.”

²³Dzuwa linali litatuluka pa dziko pamene Loti anafika ku Zoari. ²⁴Ndipo Atate wathu anagwetsa sulufule ndi moto kuchokera kumwamba pa Sodomu ndi Gomora. ^c c v24 Owerenga ena achikristu anamva anthu awiri a Utatu mu kutchulidwa kawiri kwa vesili, koma FHB imamva mmodzi — Atate wathu, amene chiweruzo chake chichokera pa mpando wake waufumu. ²⁵Anawononga mizinda ija, chigwa chonse, anthu onse okhala m'mizindayo, ndi zonse zomera pa nthaka. ²⁶Koma mkazi wa Loti anacheuka kumbuyo kwa iye, ndipo anasanduka chipilala cha mchere.

²⁷M'mawa mwake molawirira Abrahamu anapita ku malo kumene anaimirira pamaso pa Atate wathu. ²⁸Anayang'ana kuloza ku Sodomu, ndi Gomora, ndi chigwa chonse, ndipo anaona utsi ukukwera kuchokera pa dziko ngati utsi wa ng'anjo.

²⁹Pamene Atate wathu anawononga mizinda ya m'chigwa, Atate wathu anakumbukira Abrahamu, namtulutsa Loti mu chigwetso cha mizinda imene Loti anakhala.

³⁰Loti anachoka ku Zoari, nakwera kukakhala m'mapiri pamodzi ndi ana ake aakazi awiri, popeza anaopa kukhala mu Zoari; iye ndi ana ake aakazi awiri anakhala m'phanga. ³¹Woyamba kubadwa anati kwa mng'ono, “Bambo wathu wakalamba; palibe mwamuna watsala m'dziko woti agone nafe, monga mwa mwambo wa paliponse. ³²Bwera, tipatse bambo wathu vinyo, kenaka tigone naye, kuti tisunge mbadwa ya moyo kudzera mwa bambo wathu.” ³³Usiku umenewo anampatsa bambo wawo vinyo; woyamba kubadwa analowa, nagona naye. Iye sanadziwe pamene anagona kapena pamene anadzuka. ³⁴Tsiku linalo woyamba kubadwa anati kwa mng'ono, “Dzulo usiku ndinagona ndi bambo wanga. Timpatsenso vinyo usiku uno—pita ukagone naye, kuti tisunge mbadwa kuchokera kwa bambo wathu.” ³⁵Usiku umenewonso anamwetsa bambo wawo vinyo; mng'ono anadzuka, nagona naye, ndipo iye sanadziwe pamene anagona kapena pamene anadzuka. ³⁶Kotero ana onse awiri a Loti anakhala ndi pakati chifukwa cha bambo wawo. ³⁷Woyamba kubadwa anabala mwana wamwamuna, namtcha Mowabu—ndiye bambo wa Amowabu mpaka lero. ³⁸Mng'ono naonso anabala mwana wamwamuna, namtcha Beni-Amuni—ndiye bambo wa Aamoni mpaka lero.
