Mose 1 15
1 Le nya siawo megbe la, Yehowa ƒo nu na Abram le ŋutega me gblɔ nɛ be, “Mègavɔ̃ o, Abram, elabena nyee nye wò akpoxɔnu, maʋli tawò, eye makɔ yayra geɖewo ɖe dziwò.”
Ngemva kwalokho ilizwi likaThixo leza ku-Abhrama ngombono: “Ungesabi, Abhrama. Ngiyisihlangu sakho, umvuzo wakho omkhulu kakhulu.”
2 Ke Abram gblɔ be, “O, Aƒetɔ Yehowa, nu ka nàte ŋu anam esi vi mele asinye o, eye ame si anyi nye domee nye Eliezer tso Damasko?”
Kodwa u-Abhrama wathi, “Oh Thixo Wobukhosi, ungangiphani njengoba ngilokhu ngingelamntwana, ilifa lami lizadliwa ngu-Eliyezari waseDamaseko na?”
3 Eye Abram gblɔ be, “Mèna vi aɖekem o, eya ta nye subɔlae anyi nye dome.”
U-Abhrama wathi njalo, “Awungiphanga bantwana; ngakho inceku endlini yami izakuba yindlalifa yami.”
4 Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be, “Ao, ame bubu aɖeke manyi wò dome o, elabena àdzi ŋutsuvi, ame si anyi wò dome.”
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuye lathi: “Umuntu lo kayikuba yindlalifa yakho, kodwa indodana ephuma kowakho umzimba izakuba yindlalifa yakho.”
5 Yehowa kplɔ Abram va xexe le ɣletiɖiɖi nu, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Kpɔ dziƒo ɖa, eye nàxlẽ ɣletiviawo, ne àte ŋu axlẽ wo ko. Nenema tututue wò dzidzimeviwo anɔ; ame aɖeke mate ŋu axlẽ wo o!”
Wamkhuphela phandle wathi, “Khangela emkhathini ubale izinkanyezi, nxa usenelisa ukuzibala.” Wasesithi kuye, “Sizakuba njalo isizukulwane sakho.”
6 Abram xɔ Yehowa dzi se, eye Yehowa bui dzɔdzɔenyenye nɛ.
U-Abhrama wamkholwa uThixo, lokho kwabalwa kuye njengokulunga.
7 Eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Nyee nye Yehowa, ame si kplɔ wò tso Ur le Kaldea be matsɔ anyigba sia ana wò tegbetegbe.”
Waphinda wathi kuye, “NginguThixo owakususa e-Uri lamaKhaladiya ukuzakupha lelilizwe ukuthi libe ngelakho.”
8 Ke Abram biae be, “O, Aƒetɔ Yehowa, aleke mawɔ aka ɖe edzi be àtsɔe nam?”
Kodwa u-Abhrama wathi, “Oh Thixo Wobukhosi, ngingazi kanjani ukuthi lizakuba ngelami na?”
9 Eɖo eŋu nɛ gblɔ be, “Tsɔ nyinɔ si xɔ ƒe etɔ̃, gbɔ̃nɔ si xɔ ƒe etɔ̃, agbo si xɔ ƒe etɔ̃, akpakpa kple ahɔnɛ siwo metsi o la vɛ.”
UThixo wathi kuye, “Ngilethela ithokazi, imbuzi, lenqama, konke kuleminyaka emithathu yokuzalwa, kanye lejuba lenkwilimba esesencinyane.”
10 Abram tsɔ lãawo kple xeawo vɛ nɛ. Efe lãawo me ɖe akpa eve, eye wòtsɔ lãawo ƒe afãwo ɖo ɖe wo nɔewo ŋu le fli ene me, gake mefe xeviawo yame o.
U-Abhrama wakuletha konke lokhu kuye, yilokho wakudabula phakathi ngakunye wakuhlela izingxenye zakho zakhangelana; kodwa izinyoni kazidabulanga phakathi.
11 Esi akagawo va lãawo ɖu ge la, Abram nya wo.
Izinyoni ezidla inyama zehlela ezidunjini, kodwa u-Abhrama wazixotsha.
12 Esi ɣe nɔ to ɖom la, Abram dɔ alɔ̃ yi eme ʋĩi, eye wòkpɔ ŋutega dziŋɔ aɖe.
Kwathi ilanga selitshona, u-Abhrama wathathwa yibuthongo obukhulu, wehlelwa yibumnyama obesabekayo.
13 Le ŋutega me la, Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be, “Medi be nànyae kɔtɛe be, woate wò dzidzimeviwo ɖe to abe amedzroviwo ene eye woasubɔ ame mawo le dzronyigba dzi ƒe alafa ene sɔŋ.
UThixo wasesithi kuye, “Yazi ngempela ukuthi Izizukulwane zakho zizakuba ngabezizweni elizweni elingayisilo labo okweminyaka engamakhulu amane, njalo bazagqilazwa, bahlukuluzwe khonale.
14 Ke mahe to na dukɔ ma si awɔ wo kluviwoe. Emegbe la, woado le dukɔ ma te kple kesinɔnu geɖewo.
Kodwa ngizasijezisa lesosizwe esibagqilazayo, kuthi emva kwesikhathi baphume belemfuyo enengi kakhulu.
15 Wò la, àku le ŋutifafa me, ne ètsi xɔ ƒe geɖe.
Kodwa wena, uzakuya kubokhokho bakho ngokuthula, ungcwatshwe usukhulile kakhulu.
16 Le dzidzime ene megbe la, wò dzidzimeviwo agbɔ ava anyigba sia dzi, elabena ɣe ma ɣi koe Amoritɔwo, ame siwo le anyigba sia dzi fifia la ƒe nu vɔ̃wo asɔ gbɔ na tohehe.”
Isizukulwane sakho sesine sizabuya lapha, ngoba isono sama-Amori kasikafiki ekucineni.”
17 Esi ɣe ɖo to, eye viviti do la, Abram kpɔ ze aɖe si me dzudzɔ nɔ dodom tso kɔlikɔli kple akakati aɖe si nɔ lã kuku fefeawo dome tom.
Kwathi ilanga selitshonile, ubumnyama sebufikile, kwavela imbawula yomlilo, ithunqa intuthu, ilelangabi elibhebhayo, yadabula phakathi kweziqa zenyama.
18 Ale Yehowa wɔ nubabla sia kple Abram gbe ma gbe gblɔ be, “Metsɔ anyigba sia si le Egipte tɔsisi la kple Frat tɔsisi gã la dome la na wò dzidzimeviwo.
Ngalelolanga uThixo wenza isivumelwano lo-Abhrama wathi, “Ilizwe leli ngilipha izizukulwane zakho, kusukela emfuleni waseGibhithe kusiyafika emfuleni omkhulu, iYufrathe,
19 Metsɔ dukɔ siawo hã na wò: Kenitɔwo, Kenizitɔwo, Kadmonitɔwo,
ilizwe lamaKheni, lamaKhenizi, lamaKhadimoni,
20 Hititɔwo, Perizitɔwo, Refaimtɔwo,
lamaHithi, lamaPherizi, lamaRefayi,
21 Amoritɔwo, Kanaantɔwo, Girgasitɔwo kple Yebusitɔwo.”
lama-Amori, lamaKhenani, lamaGigashi kanye lamaJebusi.”
