Mutilile mu malundu mukuti kanji mumaniswa mububilala ubu.'' ¹⁸ Lota nawamba kubali, Nantaa, nimi kumbila, ba simwine bangu! ¹⁹ Mukuti muhikana wenu wa wana chishemo mu menso enu, imi mwabonisa insee inkando kuhaza buhalo bwangu, kani woli kutililila ku malundu, mukuti eziyezi muini zunde inihinde, imi kanifwe. ²⁰ Mubone, ina itolopo ina kuna inahafuhi imi iyelele kuti tutilile kwateni mukuti ilikene fela. Nikumbila yeela, munisiye niyende kwateni { kahena kuti njilikene fela}, ²¹ Nawamba kwali, ''Kushiyeme, ni zuminzana ni mukumbililo wako, chobulyo kete nisinye itolopo iwa lumbulula. ²² Hwele! Ulihazikize kwateni, mukuti kakwina chese nitende noseni kukasika kwateni. ''Kuzwaho itolopo niya sumpwa kuti nji Zorea. ²³ Izuba chili bazwile hansi Lota haka sika kwa Zorea. ²⁴ Linu Ireeza nasokiseza invula hewulu lya Sodoma ni Gomora salufula ni mulilo uzwa kwa Ireeza mwi wulu. ²⁵ Nasinya awo matolopo, ni makanda, ni bantu bonse ba bakwikala mu minzi yonse, mane nizi bialantu ziba kumena mwibu. ²⁶ Kono mwihaybwe Lota, yKuzwaho Ireeza chinga mana kuaba kwina mumasule akwe, nachebuka kumasule, kuzwaho nasanduka ibwe lya mwinyo. ²⁷ Abrahama nabuka kakakusasana kakuhwela nayenda hachibaka haba kazimene habusu bwa Simwine. ²⁸ Nalola hansi kubona Sodoma ni Gomora ni hansi honse habena mwi kanda. Halola imi nabona busi buba kuzwa hansi sina busi bwe odo. ²⁹ Kuzwaho Ireeza chinga mana ku sinya-sinya matolopo abena mwikanda, Ireeza nazeza hansumpa Abrahama. Nazwisikiza Lota hanze kumuzwisa mukati kabukabo kuzwaho nasinya matolopo mwaba kwikala Lota. ³⁰ Imi Lota nazwa mwa Zorea ni kukekala mu malundu ni bana bakwe ba bakazana bo bele, mukuti abatiyi kwikala mwa Zorea. Imi na kekala mwimpako ye bwe, iye ni bana bakwe ba banakazana. ³¹ Wentanzi na wambila wachihwile, '' Ishetu cheli mukulukwame, linu kakwina kwese nazwe mukwame waku lala naye kuamana ni mukutendelwa mwinkanda yonse. ³² Wize, tupangile Ishetu iveine anywe, imi mutulale naye, chobulyo tukuze luhasi lweshetu.'' ³³ Linu nibatenda kuti ishabo anywe iveine awo masiku.
