Kinohi 17
1 I KE kanaiwakumamaiwa o na makahiki o Aberama, ikea mai la o Iehova e Aberama, i mai la ia ia, Owau no ke Akua mana; e hele oe imua o ko'u alo, a e hemolele oe.
U-Abhrama eseleminyaka engamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye yobudala, uThixo wabonakala kuye wathi, “NginguNkulunkulu uSomandla; hamba ngokwethembeka phambi kwami, ungasoleki.
2 A e hoopaa auanei au i kau berita mawaena o'u a ou; a e hoomahuahua aku au ia oe a nui loa.
Ngizasiqinisa isivumelwano phakathi kwami lawe, ngandise njalo ubunengi benu.”
3 Moe iho la o Aberama ilalo kona alo: a kamailio mai la ke Akua me ia, i mai la,
U-Abhrama wawa wathi mbo phansi ngobuso, uNkulunkulu wathi kuye,
4 Owau no, ea, aia hoi me oe ka'u berita, a e lilo auanei oe i kupuna no na lahuikanaka he nui loa.
“Mina ngokwami ngithi lesi yisivumelwano sami lawe: uzakuba nguyise wezizwe ezinengi.
5 Aole oe e hea hou ia, o Aberama, aka, o Aberahama kou inoa: no ka mea, ua hoolilo aku no au ia oe i kupuna no na lahuikanaka he nui loa.
Kawusayi kubizwa ngokuthi Abhrama; ibizo lakho selizakuba ngu-Abhrahama, ngoba sengikwenze uyise wezizwe ezinengi.
6 A e hoolilo no wau ia oe i mea hoohua nui loa, e hoopuka auanei au i na lahuikanaka mailoko aku ou, a e puka mai no hoi na alii nui mailoko aku ou.
Ngizakwenza uzuze inzalo enengi; ngizakwenza izizwe ngawe, njalo amakhosi azaphuma kuwe.
7 A e hoopaa no hoi au i ka'u berita mawaena o'u a ou, a me kau poe mamo mahope ou ma na hanauna o lakou, i berita mau loa, i Akua no au nou, a no kau poe mamo mahope ou.
Ngizaqinisa isivumelwano sami sibe yisivumelwano sanini lanini phakathi kwami lawe kanye lezizukulwane ezizayo ukuba nguNkulunkulu wakho, loNkulunkulu wezizukulwane zakho ngemva kwakho.
8 A e haawi aku no au i ka aina au e noho malihini nei, i ka aina a pau o Kanaana, nou, a no kau poe mamo mahope ou, i wahi e noho mau ai: a owau hoi ko lakou Akua.
Ilizwe lonke laseKhenani, okwamanje ohlala njengowezizwe kulo, ngizakupha libe yilifa laphakade kuwe lezizukulwane zakho ngemva kwakho; njalo ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo.”
9 Olelo mai la ke Akua ia Aberahama, Nolaila, e malama oe i ka'u berita, o oe a me kau poe mamo mahope ou, ma na hanauna o lakou.
UNkulunkulu wasesithi ku-Abhrahama, “Wena kumele ugcine isivumelwano sami, wena lezizukulwane zakho ezizayo.
10 Eia ka'u berita e malama ai oukou mawaena o'u a o oukou, a me kau poe mamo mahope ou; E okipoepoeia na keikikane a pau o oukou.
Lesi yisivumelwano sami lawe lezizukulwane ezizayo, isivumelwano okumele usigcine: Wonke umuntu wesilisa phakathi kwenu kuzamele asokwe.
11 E okipoepoe oukou i ka io o ko oukou omaka; o ka hoailona ia o ka berita mawaena o'u a o oukou.
Wena kumele usokwe, lokho kuzakuba yisiboniso sesivumelwano phakathi kwami lawe.
12 I ka poawalu o kona ola ana, e okipoepoeia na keikikane a pau o na hanauna o oukou; o ka mea i hanau ma kou wahi, a me ka mea i kuaiia i ke kala na ke kanaka e mai, ka mea aole nau i hua mai.
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 O ka mea i hanau ma kou wahi, a me ka mea i kuaiia i kou kala, he pono no e okipoepoeia oia: a e pili auanei ka'u berita ma ko oukou io i berita mau loa.
Loba abazalwa emzini wakho kumbe abathengwa ngemali, kumele basokwe. Isivumelwano sami enyameni yakho sizakuba yisivumelwano esingapheliyo.
14 A o ke keikikane okipoepoe ole ia, ke okipoepoe ole ia ka io o kona omaka, e hookiia'ku ia kanaka mai kona hanauna aku; ua haihai oia i ka'u berita.
Lowo owesilisa ongasokwanga, ongazange ake asokwe enyameni uzakhalalwa ngabantu bakibo; usephule isivumelwano sami.”
15 Olelo mai la ke Akua ia Aberahama, A o Sarai o kau wahine, aole oe e kahea hou aku i kona inoa, o Sarai, e kapaia oia, o Sara.
UNkulunkulu waphinda njalo wathi ku-Abhrahama, “Umkakho uSarayi, ungabe usambiza ngokuthi nguSarayi; ibizo lakhe selinguSara.
16 E hoopomaikai aku hoi au ia ia, a e haawi aku hoi au ia oe, i keikikane nana mai: oia, e hoopomaikai no au la ia, nana mai na lahuikanaka; a nana mai no hoi na alii o kanaka.
Ngizambusisa, njalo ngizakunika indodana ngaye. Ngizambusisa ukuze abe ngunina wezizwe; amakhosi ezizwe azavela kuye.”
17 Alaila, moe iho la o Aberahama ilalo kona maka, akaaka iho la, a i iho la iloko o kona naau, E hanauia anei ke keiki na ka mea nona na makahiki he haneri? E hanau mai no anei o Sara, nona na makahiki he kanaiwa?
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 I aku la o Aberahama i ke Akua, Ina no o Isemaela e ola imua ou!
Ngakho u-Abhrahama wasesithi kuNkulunkulu, “Nxa u-Ishumayeli engaphila ngaphansi kwesibusiso sakho kuphela!”
19 I mai la ke Akua, He oiaio, na Sara e hanau ke keikikane nau, a e kapa aku oe i kona inoa o Isaaka: a e hoopaa auanei au i ka'u berita me ia, a me kana poe mamo mahope ona, i berita mau loa.
UNkulunkulu wasesithi, “Yebo, uSara uzakuzalela indodana, wena uyibize ngokuthi ngu-Isaka. Ngizaqinisa isivumelwano sami laye sibe yisivumelwano esingapheliyo lezizukulwane eziza ngemva kwakhe.
20 A o Isemaela, ua hoolohe hoi au ia oe nona: Aia hoi, na hoopomaikai no au ia ia, a e hoohua auanei au i na keiki nana, a e hoomahuahua no hoi au ia ia; e hanau nana na alii he umikumamalua, a e hoolilo hoi au ia ia i Iahuikanaka nui.
Mayelana lo-Ishumayeli, ngizwile okutshiloyo: ngeqiniso ngizambusisa; ngizamnika inzalo enkulu, ngandise ubunengi bayo. Uzakuba nguyise wababusi abalitshumi lambili, ngimenze abe yisizwe esikhulu.
21 Aka, e hoopaa auanei au i kuu berita ia Isaaka, i ka mea a Sara e hanau mai ai nau, i keia manawa o kela makahiki aku.
Kodwa isivumelwano sami ngizasiqinisa lo-Isaka, ozamzalelwa nguSara ngalesisikhathi ngomnyaka ozayo.”
22 A oki iho la kana kamailio ana me ia, hoi aku la ke Akua iluna mai o Aberahama aku.
Eseqedile ukukhuluma lo-Abhrahama, uNkulunkulu wenyuka wamtshiya.
23 Lalau aku la o Aberahama i kana keiki ia Isemaela, a me na mea a pau i hanau ma kona hale, a me na mea a pau i kuaiia i kana kala, i na kane a pau o ko Aberahama mau ohua; a okipoepoe iho la i ka io o ko lakou omaka ia la hookahi no, e like me, ka ke Akua i olelo mai ai ia ia.
Ngalelolanga u-Abhrahama wathatha indodana yakhe u-Ishumayeli labo bonke abazalelwa emzini wakhe loba abathengwayo ngemali yakhe wabasoka, njengoba uNkulunkulu wayemtshelile.
24 He kanaiwa na makahiki a me kumamaiwa o ko Aberahama ola ana, ia ia i okipoepoeia'i ma ka io o kona omaka.
U-Abhrahama wayeleminyaka yokuzalwa engamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye mhla esokwa,
25 He umikumamakolu na makahiki o Isemaela, ia ia i okipoepoeia'i ma ka io o kona omaka.
indodana yakhe u-Ishumayeli yayileminyaka yokuzalwa elitshumi lantathu;
26 Ia la hookahi no, i okipoepoeia'i o Aberahama, a me kana keiki o Isemaela.
u-Abhrahama lendodana yakhe u-Ishumayeli bobabili basokwa mhlalokho ngalanga linye.
27 Ua okipoepoe pu ia me ia na kanaka a pau o kona mau ohua, i hanau ma kona hale, a i kuaiia i kona kala na ke kanaka e mai.
Njalo bonke abesilisa ababesemzini ka-Abhrahama, kugoqela labo abazalelwa khonapho ekhaya labathengwa kwabezizwe, basokwa kanye laye.
