Mose 1 17
1 Esi Abram xɔ ƒe blaasiekɛ-vɔ-asiekɛ la, Yehowa ɖe eɖokui fiae gblɔ nɛ be, “Nyee nye Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la. Ɖo tom, eye nànɔ agbe abe ale si dze ene.
U-Abhrama eseleminyaka engamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye yobudala, uThixo wabonakala kuye wathi, “NginguNkulunkulu uSomandla; hamba ngokwethembeka phambi kwami, ungasoleki.
2 Maɖo kpe nubabla si le nye kpli wò dome la dzi, eye miadzi ɖe edzi fũu.”
Ngizasiqinisa isivumelwano phakathi kwami lawe, ngandise njalo ubunengi benu.”
3 Abram tsyɔ mo anyi, eye Mawu gblɔ nɛ be,
U-Abhrama wawa wathi mbo phansi ngobuso, uNkulunkulu wathi kuye,
4 “Nye la, esiae nye nye nubabla kpli wò: ànye dukɔ geɖewo fofo.”
“Mina ngokwami ngithi lesi yisivumelwano sami lawe: uzakuba nguyise wezizwe ezinengi.
5 Mawu yi edzi be, “Wò ŋkɔ maganye Abram o, ke boŋ ezu Abraham, elabena meɖo wò dukɔ geɖewo fofoe.
Kawusayi kubizwa ngokuthi Abhrama; ibizo lakho selizakuba ngu-Abhrahama, ngoba sengikwenze uyise wezizwe ezinengi.
6 Mana dzidzimevi akpe akpewo wò, eye woazu dukɔ geɖewo! Fiawo anɔ wò dzidzimeviwo dome!
Ngizakwenza uzuze inzalo enengi; ngizakwenza izizwe ngawe, njalo amakhosi azaphuma kuwe.
7 “Mana nye nubabla nazu nubabla mavɔ le nye kpli wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo dome hena dzidzime siwo gbɔna la, be manye wò Mawu kple Mawu na wò dzidzimeviwo.
Ngizaqinisa isivumelwano sami sibe yisivumelwano sanini lanini phakathi kwami lawe kanye lezizukulwane ezizayo ukuba nguNkulunkulu wakho, loNkulunkulu wezizukulwane zakho ngemva kwakho.
8 Kanaanyigba blibo la, afi si nèle fifia abe amedzro ene la, matsɔe na wò wòanye tɔwò kple wò dzidzimeviwo tɔ tegbetegbe, eye manye woƒe Mawu.”
Ilizwe lonke laseKhenani, okwamanje ohlala njengowezizwe kulo, ngizakupha libe yilifa laphakade kuwe lezizukulwane zakho ngemva kwakho; njalo ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo.”
9 Eye Mawu gblɔ na Abraham be, “Ele na wò be nàlé nye nubabla me ɖe asi, wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo le dzidzime siwo ava la me.
UNkulunkulu wasesithi ku-Abhrahama, “Wena kumele ugcine isivumelwano sami, wena lezizukulwane zakho ezizayo.
10 Esia nye nye nubabla kpli wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo, nubabla si mialé be na le mia dome lae nye be: Woatso aʋa na ŋutsu sia ŋutsu le mia dome.
Lesi yisivumelwano sami lawe lezizukulwane ezizayo, isivumelwano okumele usigcine: Wonke umuntu wesilisa phakathi kwenu kuzamele asokwe.
11 Woaɖe miaƒe aʋanuyiwo ɖa. Esia anye dzesi be wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo siaa miexɔ nubabla sia.
Wena kumele usokwe, lokho kuzakuba yisiboniso sesivumelwano phakathi kwami lawe.
12 Woatso aʋa na ŋutsuvi ɖe sia ɖe le gbe si gbe wodzii la ƒe ŋkeke enyia gbe. Woatso aʋa na wò kluvi siwo nèƒle kple ga alo wo ƒe viwo kple wò ŋutɔ wò dzidzimeviwo siaa. Esia nye nubabla ƒe akpa si anɔ anyi tegbee, eye wòanye dɔdeasi na wò dzidzimeviwo katã.
Kuzizukulwane ezizayo umuntu wonke wesilisa ophakathi kwenu oselezinsuku eziyisificaminwembili kumele asokwe, kusitsho lalabo abazalwa emzini wakho loba abathengwa ngemali emuntwini wezizwe, labo abangazalwa nguwe.
13 Ele be woatso aʋa na ame sia ame. Ele be woato mɔ sia nu ade dzesi miaƒe ŋutilã be mianye gomekpɔlawo le nye nubabla mavɔ la me.
Loba abazalwa emzini wakho kumbe abathengwa ngemali, kumele basokwe. Isivumelwano sami enyameni yakho sizakuba yisivumelwano esingapheliyo.
14 Woaɖe ame sia ame si metso aʋa o la ɖa le eƒe ƒometɔwo dome, elabena mewɔ nye nubabla la dzi o.”
Lowo owesilisa ongasokwanga, ongazange ake asokwe enyameni uzakhalalwa ngabantu bakibo; usephule isivumelwano sami.”
15 Mawu yi edzi gblɔ na Abraham be, “Womagayɔ srɔ̃wò be Sarai o, ke boŋ woayɔe azɔ be, ‘Sara’ si gɔmee nye ‘Fiavinyɔnu.’
UNkulunkulu waphinda njalo wathi ku-Abhrahama, “Umkakho uSarayi, ungabe usambiza ngokuthi nguSarayi; ibizo lakhe selinguSara.
16 Mayrae, eye mana wòadzi ŋutsuvi na wò! Ɛ̃, makɔ yayra geɖe ɖe edzi, eye mana wòazu dukɔ geɖewo dada! Fia geɖewo anɔ miaƒe dzidzimeviwo dome.”
Ngizambusisa, njalo ngizakunika indodana ngaye. Ngizambusisa ukuze abe ngunina wezizwe; amakhosi ezizwe azavela kuye.”
17 Esi Abraham se nya siawo la, etsyɔ mo anyi ɖe Yehowa ŋkume. Eko nu le eɖokui me le dzimaxɔse ta, hebia eɖokui be, “Ɖe nye ame si xɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka la, magate ŋu azu fofo, eye Sara ame si xɔ ƒe blaasiekɛ la agate ŋu adzi via?”
U-Abhrahama wawa wathi mbo ngobuso phansi; wahleka wazitshela wathi, “Kambe indodana ingazalwa ngumuntu oseleminyaka elikhulu na? USara angamzala umntwana yena eseleminyaka engamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye na?”
18 Abraham gblɔ na Mawu be, “Meɖe kuku, yra Ismael nam ko!”
Ngakho u-Abhrahama wasesithi kuNkulunkulu, “Nxa u-Ishumayeli engaphila ngaphansi kwesibusiso sakho kuphela!”
19 Mawu ɖo eŋu be, “Ao, menye nenemae megblɔ o. Sara adzi ŋutsuvi na wò, eye miana ŋkɔe be, Isak si gɔmee nye ‘Nukoko.’ Mabla nu kple eya kple eƒe dzidzimeviwo tegbetegbe.
UNkulunkulu wasesithi, “Yebo, uSara uzakuzalela indodana, wena uyibize ngokuthi ngu-Isaka. Ngizaqinisa isivumelwano sami laye sibe yisivumelwano esingapheliyo lezizukulwane eziza ngemva kwakhe.
20 Melɔ̃ be mayra Ismael hã abe ale si nèbiae ene. Mana wòadzi asɔ gbɔ, eye wòazu dukɔ gã aɖe. Fiavi ŋutsuvi wuieve anɔ eƒe dzidzimeviwo dome.
Mayelana lo-Ishumayeli, ngizwile okutshiloyo: ngeqiniso ngizambusisa; ngizamnika inzalo enkulu, ngandise ubunengi bayo. Uzakuba nguyise wababusi abalitshumi lambili, ngimenze abe yisizwe esikhulu.
21 Ke nye nubabla le nye kple Isak dome, ame si Sara adzi na wò le ƒe si gbɔna la ƒe ɣe aleawo ɣi.”
Kodwa isivumelwano sami ngizasiqinisa lo-Isaka, ozamzalelwa nguSara ngalesisikhathi ngomnyaka ozayo.”
22 Ale Abraham kple Mawu ƒe dzeɖoɖo wu enu, eye Mawu dzo.
Eseqedile ukukhuluma lo-Abhrahama, uNkulunkulu wenyuka wamtshiya.
23 Gbe ma gbe ke la, Abraham tso aʋa na via, Ismael kple ŋutsuvi bubu ɖe sia ɖe si wodzi ɖe eƒe aƒe me alo ƒle kple ga va eƒe aƒe me abe ale si Mawu ɖo nɛ ene.
Ngalelolanga u-Abhrahama wathatha indodana yakhe u-Ishumayeli labo bonke abazalelwa emzini wakhe loba abathengwayo ngemali yakhe wabasoka, njengoba uNkulunkulu wayemtshelile.
24 Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, Abraham xɔ ƒe blaasiekɛ-vɔ-asiekɛ hafi wotso aʋa nɛ,
U-Abhrahama wayeleminyaka yokuzalwa engamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye mhla esokwa,
25 eye Via ŋutsuvi, Ismael, xɔ ƒe wuietɔ̃ hafi wotso aʋa nɛ.
indodana yakhe u-Ishumayeli yayileminyaka yokuzalwa elitshumi lantathu;
26 Wotso aʋa na Abraham kple Via ŋutsuvi, Ismael, le ŋkeke ɖeka ma dzi.
u-Abhrahama lendodana yakhe u-Ishumayeli bobabili basokwa mhlalokho ngalanga linye.
27 Eye wotso aʋa na ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe le Abraham ƒe aƒe me, ame si wodzi le eƒe aƒe me kple kluvi si woƒle le amedzro aɖe si siaa.
Njalo bonke abesilisa ababesemzini ka-Abhrahama, kugoqela labo abazalelwa khonapho ekhaya labathengwa kwabezizwe, basokwa kanye laye.
