Genizesi 14:1-24
14 Mu mazuŵa gha Amurafeli themba la Shinara,+ Ariyoki themba la Elasa, Kedorilaomeri+ themba la Elamu,+ na Tidali themba la Goyimu,
2 kukaŵa nkhondo. Mathemba agha ghakarwa na Bera themba la Sodomu,+ Birisha themba la Gomora,+ Shinabu themba la Adima, Shemeberi themba la Zeboyimu,+ na themba la Bela, ndiko kuti, Zowari.
3 Wose aŵa* ŵakawungana pa Dambo* la Sidimu,+ ku Nyanja Yamchere.*+
4 Mathemba agha* ghakateŵetera Kedorilaomeri vyaka 12, kweni mu chaka cha 13 ghakagaluka.
5 Ntheura mu chaka cha 14, Kedorilaomeri na mathemba agho wakaŵa nagho ŵakiza na kuthereska Ŵarefayimu ku Ashiteroti-karinayimu, Ŵazuzimu ku Hamu, na Ŵaemimu+ ku Shave-kiriyatayimu,
6 na Ŵahori+ ku phiri lawo la Seyiri,+ m’paka ku Eli-parani, mu mphaka ya mapopa.
7 Kufuma apo, ŵakawelera na kwiza ku Eni-mishipati, ndiko kuti, Kadeshi,+ ndipo ŵakathereska chigaŵa chose cha Ŵaamaleki,+ na Ŵaamori+ awo ŵakakhalanga ku Hazazoni-tamara.+
8 Pa nyengo iyi, themba la Sodomu, themba la Gomora, themba la Adima, themba la Zeboyimu, na themba la Bela, ndiko kuti, Zowari, ŵakawuka na kufora mu Dambo* la Sidimu kurwa nawo nkhondo.
9 Ŵakarwa na Kedorilaomeri themba la Elamu, Tidali themba la Goyimu, Amurafeli themba la Shinara, na Ariyoki themba la Elasa.+ Mathemba ghanayi agha ghakatimbana na mathemba ghankhondi.
10 Sono Dambo* la Sidimu likaŵa na vizongwe* vinandi ivyo mukaŵa ulambwe wakunata. Apo mathemba gha Sodomu na Gomora ghakachimbiranga ghakawira mwenemumo. Agho ghakapona ghakachimbilira ku chigaŵa cha mapiri.
11 Awo ŵakathereska ŵanyawo ŵakatora katundu yose mu Sodomu na Gomora na vyakurya vyose, ndipo ŵakaluta.+
12 Kweniso ŵakakora Loti, mwana wa munung’una wa Abramu, uyo wakakhalanga mu Sodomu,+ na katundu wake wuwo, ndipo ŵakalutilira ulendo wawo.
13 Pamanyuma, mwanalume munyake uyo wakachimbira wakiza kwa Abramu Muhebere na kumuphalira ivyo vyachitika. Pa nyengo iyi, Abramu wakakhalanga* ku makuni ghakuru gha Mamure Muamori,+ mubali wa Eshikoli na Aneri.+ Ŵanthu aŵa ŵakakolerananga na Abramu.
14 Abramu wakati wapulika kuti mubali wake+ wakoleka, wakawunjika ŵateŵeti ŵake 318 awo ŵakababikira mu nyumba yake, ŵanalume ŵakusambizgika kurwa nkhondo. Wakalondezga ŵalwani m’paka ku Dani.+
15 Mu usiku, wakagaŵa ŵankhondo ŵake, ndipo iyo na ŵateŵeti ŵake ŵakawukira ŵalwani na kuŵathereska. Wakaŵaskera m’paka ku Hoba, kumpoto kwa Damaseko.
16 Wakaponoska katundu yose, kweniso wakaponoska Loti mubali wake, katundu wake, ŵanakazi, na ŵanthu ŵanyake.
17 Abramu wakati wawera kukathereska Kedorilaomeri na mathemba agho wakaŵa nagho, themba la Sodomu likaluta kukakumana nayo mu Dambo* la Shave, ndiko kuti, Dambo la Themba.+
18 Melekizedeki+ themba la Salemu+ wakiza na chingwa na vinyo. Iyo wakaŵa wasembe* wa Chiuta Wapachanya Nkhanira.+
19 Melekizedeki wakatumbika Abramu, wakati:
“Chiuta Wapachanya Nkhanira,Mlengi wa kuchanya na charu chapasi, watumbike Abramu;
20 Ndipo walumbike Chiuta Wapachanya Nkhanira,Uyo wapeleka ŵalwani ŵako mu woko lako!”
Ndipo Abramu wakapeleka kwa iyo chakhumi pa chilichose icho wakaŵa nacho.+
21 Pamanyuma, themba la Sodomu likati kwa Abramu: “Ine unipe ŵanthu, iwe utore katundu.”
22 Kweni Abramu wakati kwa themba la Sodomu: “Nkhuwuska woko lane kujilapizga kwa Yehova, Chiuta Wapachanya Nkhanira, Mlengi wa kuchanya na charu chapasi.
23 Nitorengepo chara kalikose ako nkhako, nanga ni wuzi panji nthambo za vilyato,* mwakuti uleke kuyowoya kuti, ‘Ndine namusambazga Abramu.’
24 Nitorengepo kalikose yayi padera pa ivyo ŵanyamata ŵarya kale. Kweni ŵanthu awo ŵakaluta nane, Aneri, Eshikoli, na Mamure,+ waliyose watorepo chigaŵa chake.”
