Ngemva kwalokho ilizwi likaThixo leza ku-Abhrama ngombono: “Ungesabi, Abhrama. Ngiyisihlangu sakho, umvuzo wakho omkhulu kakhulu.”
2 Hianagi Abramu'a anage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamoka hakare'za nami'nanke'na, mofavre onte'noanki, iza anazana erigahie? Frisugeno'a Damaskasi kumati eri'za ne'nimo Eliesa erigahie.
Kodwa u-Abhrama wathi, “Oh Thixo Wobukhosi, ungangiphani njengoba ngilokhu ngingelamntwana, ilifa lami lizadliwa ngu-Eliyezari waseDamaseko na?”
3 Hanki mofavre onami'nanankino, noni'afima kasente'nea eri'za vahe'nimo ana afufenoni'a erigahie.
U-Abhrama wathi njalo, “Awungiphanga bantwana; ngakho inceku endlini yami izakuba yindlalifa yami.”
4 Hu'neanagi Ra Anumzamo'a kenona'a huno, A'o! Rumo'a afufenonka'a e'origosie. Kagrama kasentesana mofavremo afufenonka'a erigahie.
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuye lathi: “Umuntu lo kayikuba yindlalifa yakho, kodwa indodana ephuma kowakho umzimba izakuba yindlalifa yakho.”
5 Huno nehuno Abramuna avre atiramino megi'a vuno anage huno asmi'ne, monafi hanafitamina hampriga hunampi kesga hunka ko? Higeno kesga huno kegeno, Anumzamo'a huno, ana avamente kagripintira kagehe'za fore huhakare hu'za manigahaze.
Wamkhuphela phandle wathi, “Khangela emkhathini ubale izinkanyezi, nxa usenelisa ukuzibala.” Wasesithi kuye, “Sizakuba njalo isizukulwane sakho.”
6 Ra Anumzamo'a anage huno asmigeno, Abramu'a ana kea nentahino, amentinti nehigeno Anumzamo'a fatgo nere huno Abramunkura hu'ne.
U-Abhrama wamkholwa uThixo, lokho kwabalwa kuye njengokulunga.
7 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Abramuna asami'ne, Ur kumateti, Kaldia vahepinti Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na kavre'na e'nomo'na, ama mopa negamue.

UThixo wathi kuye, “Ngilethela ithokazi, imbuzi, lenqama, konke kuleminyaka emithathu yokuzalwa, kanye lejuba lenkwilimba esesencinyane.”
10 Higeno Abramu'a kema hia kante anteno ana zagaramina aheno rutne tare hugagufeno kanti kama nenteno, namararena taga osu aga' ante'ne.
U-Abhrama wakuletha konke lokhu kuye, yilokho wakudabula phakathi ngakunye wakuhlela izingxenye zakho zakhangelana; kodwa izinyoni kazidabulanga phakathi.
11 Ana zana tumpa namamo'za kete'za nenaku neageno Abramu'a keteno harige'za vu'naze.
Izinyoni ezidla inyama zehlela ezidunjini, kodwa u-Abhrama wazixotsha.
12 Hagi zage ufregeno avukoko higeno Abramu'a mase himare'neno, avanama keana, tusi'a hanimo agrira refitente'negeno negeno koro hu'ne.
Kwathi ilanga selitshona, u-Abhrama wathathwa yibuthongo obukhulu, wehlelwa yibumnyama obesabekayo.
13 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Abramuna asami'ne, Nagra amama negasamua kea antahise huo. Kagehe'za ru vahe mopafi umani'nesage'za zamazeri haviza nehanage'za, kazokzo eri'zana 400'a zagegafufi erigahaze.
UThixo wasesithi kuye, “Yazi ngempela ukuthi Izizukulwane zakho zizakuba ngabezizweni elizweni elingayisilo labo okweminyaka engamakhulu amane, njalo bazagqilazwa, bahlukuluzwe khonale.
14 Hianagi Nagra ana eri'za eri'zmantesaza kumate vahera keaga huzamantegahue. Ana amefiga'a zamagrama atirami'za esu'za, rama'a feno eri'za egahaze.
Kodwa ngizasijezisa lesosizwe esibagqilazayo, kuthi emva kwesikhathi baphume belemfuyo enengi kakhulu.

Ngalelolanga uThixo wenza isivumelwano lo-Abhrama wathi, “Ilizwe leli ngilipha izizukulwane zakho, kusukela emfuleni waseGibhithe kusiyafika emfuleni omkhulu, iYufrathe,
