1Morena a iponahatsa ho Aborahama a le difateng tsa eike, tsa Mamore, moo a neng a dutse monyako wa tente, ka nako eo letsatsi le neng le tjhesa haholo. 2A phahamisa mahlo, a tadima, mme a bona banna ba bararo ba eme pela hae. Yare ha a ba bona, a tloha monyakong wa tente, a mathela ho bona ho ba kgahlanyetsa. A fihla a itihela fatshe, 3a re: “Morena wa ka, haeba kajeno o nkgauhetse, ke a o rapela, o se ke wa feta ha mohlanka wa hao. 4A ho ke ho tliswe metsinyana, le hlatswe maoto a lona, le phomole tlasa sefate. 5Ke sa ilo le batlela sengwathwana sa bohobe, le tle le thobe pelo tsa lona, ebe jwale le a feta, hobane le fapohetse ha mohlanka wa lona.”
Yaba ba re: “Etsa jwalokaha o boletse.”
6Aborahama a potlakela ho Sara, ka tenteng, a re: “Phakisa o nke dirotwana tse tharo tsa phofo e thumisehileng, o e dube, o etse maqebekwane.”
7Jwale Aborahama a mathela mohlapeng wa dikgomo, a kgetha namane e nonneng, e nama e bonojwana, mme a e nea mohlanka; yena a e hlaba ka potlako. 8A nka sereledi le lebese la motsididi, le nama ya namane e phehilweng hantle, tsena a di bea kapele ho bona; yena a ema pela bona, tlasa sefate, ha ba ntse ba eja.
9Yaba ba re ho Aborahama: “Mosadi wa hao Sara o kae?”
A araba, a re: “O ka tenteng.”
10Morena a re ho yena: “Ke tla boela ke o etela hape isao, ka yona nako ena, mme bona, mosadi wa hao Sara o tla be a se a ena le mora.”
Sara o ne a ntse a utlwa, a eme monyakong wa tente, kamorao ho bona. 11Aborahama le Sara ba ne ba se ba hodile, ditshiu di ile, mme Sara o ne a se a sa kgelohe. 12Sara a tshehela ka pelong, a re: “Ha ke se ke tsofetse tjee, le monna wa ka a tsofetse, na nka ba le thabo e jwalo?”
13Morena a re ho Aborahama: “Sara o tshehelang, ha a re: ‘Nna ruri nka tswala ngwana, ke se ke tsofetse tjee?’ 14Na ho na le se ka sitang Morena? Isao, ka yona nako ena, ke tla boela ke o etela, mme Sara o tla be a se a ena le mora.”
15Empa Sara a latola, a re: “Ha ke a ka ka tsheha;” a rialo hobane o ne a tshaba.
Morena a re: “Tjhe, o ile wa tsheha.”
Aborahama o rapella Sodoma
16Jwale banna bao ba ema, ba tloha moo, ba leba nqa Sodoma. Aborahama a ba felehetsa, ho ba fihlisa tseleng. 17Morena a re: “Na ebe nka patela Aborahama seo ke leng lekgatheng la ho se etsa, 18ha e le moo Aborahama e tla ba setjhaba se seholo, se matla, mme le ditjhaba tsohle tsa lefatshe di tla hlohonolofatswa ka yena? 19Nke ke! Hobane ke mo kgethile hore a tle a laele bana ba hae le lelapa la hae ho tsamaya ka tsela ya Morena ka ho etsa tse lokileng, le ho sebetsa ka toka; e le hore Morena a tle a phethe tseo a di tshepisitseng Aborahama.”
20Yaba Morena o re: “Sello se qosang Sodoma le Gomora se seholo, mme le sona sebe sa metse eo se seholo haholo! 21Ke tla theohela teng ho ya bona hore na ba entse kamoo sello se fihlang ho nna se leng kateng, mme haeba ho se jwalo, ke tla tseba.” 22Banna bao ba tloha moo ba leba nqa Sodoma, empa Aborahama a sala a eme kapela Morena.
23Jwale Aborahama a atamela, a re: “Na o tla hlo timetse ba lokileng mmoho le ba kgopo? 24Ere mohlomong ho na le ba mashome a mahlano ba lokileng motseng oo, na o tla o timetsa, ho ena le ho o hauhela ka baka la bao ba mashome a mahlano ba phelang ho wona? 25Kgopolo e jwalo, ya ho bolaya ba lokileng le ba kgopo, e ke e be hole le maikutlo a hao! Ho be siyo maikutlong a hao ho tshwantsha ba lokileng le ba kgopo! Na Moahlodi wa lefatshe lohle a ke ke a ahlola ka toka?”
26Morena a re: “Haeba nka fumana motseng wa Sodoma ho ena le ba mashome a mahlano ba lokileng, ke tla o tshwarela kaofela ka baka la bona.”
27Aborahama a boela a re: “Ako bone! Ke bile sebete ho bua le Morena, le hoja ke le lerole le molora feela. 28Ere ho haella ba bahlano, ho phetha palo ya mashome a mahlano a ba lokileng, na o tla timetsa motse oo ka baka la ba bahlano bao ba haellang?”
Morena a araba, a re: “Haeba nka fumana ba mashome a mane a metso e mehlano, ha nka ke ka o timetsa.”
29Aborahama a boela a bua le yena hape, a re: “Mohlomong ho fumanwa ba mashome a mane!”
Morena a re: “Ka baka la bao ba mashome a mane ha nka ke ka etsa jwalo.”
30Yaba Aborahama o re: “Morena a se ke a mpa a halefa, ke tle ke tsebe ho bua. Mohlomong ho fumanwa ba mashome a mararo!”
Morena a re: “Haeba nka fumana ba mashome a mararo teng, nke ke ka etsa jwalo.”
31Aborahama a re: “Ako bone! Ke bile sebete ho bua le Morena. Ere mohlomong ho ka fumanwa ba mashome a mabedi teng?”
Morena a araba, a re: “Ka baka la bao ba mashome a mabedi ha ke na ho o timetsa.”
32Yaba Aborahama o re: “Oho, Morena a se ke a mpa a halefa hle, ke mpe ke bue la ho qetela. Teng haeba ho ka fumanwa ba leshome?”
Morena a araba, a re: “Ka baka la bao ba leshome nke ke ka o timetsa.”
33Hoba Morena a qete ho bua le Aborahama, yaba o a itsamaela, mme Aborahama a kgutlela ha hae.
