17 Waphuma ukumkani waseSodom, esiya kumkhawulela ekubuyeni kwakhe ekutshabalaliseni uKedorlahomere, nookumkani ebabenaye, entilini yeShave, eyintili yookumkani.
18 UMelkitsedeke,* umkukani waseSalem, waphuma enesonka newayini; ubengumbingeleli kaThixo Osenyangweni.
19 Wamsikelela wathi, Makasikelelwe uAbram nguThixo Osenyangweni, uMninimazulu nehlabathi!
20 Makabongwe uThixo Osenyangweni obanikeleyo ababandezeli bakho esandleni sakho. UAbram wamnika isishumi seento zonke.
21 Wathi ukumkani waseSodom, kuAbram, Ndínike abantu, uthabathe impahla.
22 Wathi uAbram kukumkani waseSodom, Isandla sam ndisiphakamisele kuYehova uThixo Osenyangweni,
23 uMninimazulu nehlabathi, ukuba andiyi kuthabatha nosinga, nokuba ngumtya wembadada, ukuba andiyi kuthabatha kuko konke okwakho; ukuze ungàtsho ukuthi, Mna ndimtyebisile uAbram.
