Yawe amonekele kuli Abrahamu mupepi ne miti ikulu iya oki iyakwa Mamure ilyo aikele pa mwinshi we tenti lyakwe ninshi akasuba nakabalikisha nganshi. Cilya ainuna amenso, amona abaume batatu beminine mupepi napo ali. Ilyo abamona afuma ulubilo pa mwinshi we tenti lyakwe aya kukubakumanya, elyo akontamina panshi, asosa ati, “We mfumu napapata, nga cingamusekesha, wipitafye pa mubomfi obe. Lekeni balete utumenshi utwakusamba ku makasa yenu, elyo mutuusheko mwisamba lya muti.

Elyo balya bantu bapilibuka, balaya lwa ku Sodoma, lelo Abrahamu ena ashala naiminina pa cinso cakwa Yawe. Elyo Abrahamu apalama, aipusha Yawe ati, “Bushe cine cine walaonaula abalungami pamo na babifi? Bushe nga cakuti mu musumba mulimo abantu abalungami amakumi yasano (50), bushe uleonaula umusumba?
