18 Nyuma yaho Yehova+ abonekera Aburahamu ari mu biti binini by’i Mamure,+ ubwo yari yicaye ku muryango w’ihema rye ku manywa, igihe haba hari ubushyuhe bwinshi. 2 Aburahamu areba imbere ye abona abagabo batatu bahagaze hirya y’aho yari ari.+ Ababonye ava ku muryango w’ihema rye, yiruka abasanga maze arapfukama akoza umutwe hasi. 3 Hanyuma aravuga ati: “Yehova, niba unyishimiye, ndakwinginze ngwino usure umugaragu wawe. 4 Reka bazane amazi maze babakarabye ibirenge,+ hanyuma muruhukire munsi y’igiti. 5 Ubwo muje iwanjye, reka mbazanire umugati murye mugarure imbaraga, nimurangiza mwigendere.” Na bo baravuga bati: “Urakoze. Ubikore nk’uko ubivuze.”
6 Aburahamu arihuta asanga Sara mu ihema aramubwira ati: “Gira vuba ufate ibiro nka 12* by’ifu inoze, uyiponde maze ukoremo imigati.” 7 Hanyuma Aburahamu ariruka ajya mu matungo ye, atoranya ikimasa cyiza kikiri gito maze agiha umugaragu we, na we agira vuba aragiteka. 8 Hanyuma Aburahamu afata amavuta, amata na cya kimasa cyiza bari batetse, abiha abo bagabo. Arangije ahagarara iruhande rwabo munsi y’igiti igihe bari bari kurya.+
9 Nuko baramubaza bati: “Umugore wawe Sara ari he?”+ Arabasubiza ati: “Ari hano mu ihema.” 10 Umwe muri abo bagabo aramubwira ati: “Nzagaruka umwaka utaha igihe nk’iki, kandi umugore wawe Sara azabyara umwana w’umuhungu.”+ Icyo gihe Sara yari ateze amatwi ari ku muryango w’ihema ryari inyuma y’uwo mugabo. 11 Aburahamu na Sara bari bashaje, bafite imyaka myinshi+ kandi Sara yari yararengeje igihe cyo kubyara.*+ 12 Nuko Sara asekera mu mutima we, aribwira ati: “Ubu koko nzagira ibyo byishimo byo kubyara kandi nshaje n’umutware wanjye Aburahamu akaba ashaje?”+ 13 Hanyuma Yehova abaza Aburahamu ati: “Kuki Sara asetse akavuga ati: ‘ese ubu koko nzabyara kandi nshaje?’ 14 Ese hari icyananira Yehova?+ Umwaka utaha igihe nk’iki nzagaruka kandi Sara azabyara umwana w’umuhungu.” 15 Ariko Sara agira ubwoba, atangira kubihakana ati: “Ntabwo nsetse!” Nuko aramubwira ati: “Oya, urasetse!”
16 Igihe abo bagabo bagendaga bakagera aho babona i Sodomu,+ Aburahamu yari kumwe na bo abaherekeje. 17 Nuko Yehova aravuga ati: “Ese ndakomeza guhisha Aburahamu ibyo ngiye gukora?+ 18 N’ubundi kandi abazakomoka kuri Aburahamu bazaba benshi cyane, bagire imbaraga. Nanone abantu bo mu bihugu byose byo ku isi bazahabwa umugisha binyuze kuri we.+ 19 Kuko impamvu yatumye mumenya ari ukugira ngo ategeke abana be n’abazamukomokaho bose bajye bakurikiza amategeko ya Yehova, bakore ibyo gukiranuka kandi bace imanza zitabera,+ bityo Yehova azakore ibyo yasezeranyije Aburahamu byose.”
20 Nuko Yehova aravuga ati: “Nkomeje kumva abataka bitotombera ibibera i Sodomu n’i Gomora,+ kandi icyaha cyabo kiraremereye cyane.+ 21 Ngiye kureba niba koko bakora ibihwanye n’ibyo ababarega bavuga, kandi niba atari byo, nabwo ndabimenya.”+
22 Nuko abo bagabo bava aho bajya i Sodomu. Ariko Yehova+ we agumana na Aburahamu. 23 Hanyuma Aburahamu aramwegera, aramubaza ati: “Ese koko uzarimburana abakiranutsi n’abanyabyaha?+ 24 Reka tuvuge ko muri uwo mujyi harimo abakiranutsi 50. Ubwo se uzabarimbura ntubabarire uwo mujyi kandi urimo abakiranutsi 50? 25 Reka reka ntiwakora ibintu nk’ibyo ngo urimburane umukiranutsi n’umunyabyaha, ku buryo ibyaba ku mukiranutsi ari na byo byaba ku munyabyaha!+ Oya rwose ntiwakora ibintu nk’ibyo!+ Ese Umucamanza w’isi yose azareka gukora ibikwiriye?”+ 26 Nuko Yehova aramusubiza ati: “Ninsanga mu mujyi w’i Sodomu harimo abakiranutsi 50, nzababarira uwo mujyi wose kubera abo bakiranutsi.” 27 Ariko Aburahamu arongera aravuga ati: “Dore niyemeje kuvugana na Yehova nubwo ndi umukungugu n’ivu gusa. 28 Reka tuvuge ko ku bakiranutsi 50 habuzeho batanu. Ese uzarimbura uwo mujyi wose kubera abo batanu babuzeho?” Aramusubiza ati: “Sinzawurimbura ninsangayo 45.”+
29 Aburahamu yongera kumubwira ati: “Reka tuvuge ko hariyo 40.” Na we aramusubiza ati: “Sinzawurimbura kubera abo 40.” 30 Ariko akomeza avuga ati: “Yehova, ndakwinginze nturakare,+ ahubwo undeke ngire icyo nongeraho. Reka tuvuge ko hariyo abakiranutsi 30 gusa.” Aramusubiza ati: “Sinzawurimbura ninsangayo 30.” 31 Aburahamu yongeraho ati: “Dore niyemeje kuvugana na Yehova. Reka tuvuge ko hariyo abakiranutsi 20 gusa.” Na we aramusubiza ati: “Sinzawurimbura kubera abo 20.” 32 Amaherezo aravuga ati: “Yehova, ndakwinginze nturakare, ahubwo undeke mvuge indi nshuro imwe gusa. Reka tuvuge ko hariyo 10 gusa.” Na we aramusubiza ati: “Sinzawurimbura kubera abo 10.” 33 Hanyuma Yehova arangije kuvugana na Aburahamu aragenda,+ Aburahamu na we asubira iwe.
