1 Abramu'a 99ni'a zagegafu higeno, Ra Anumzamo'a agrite efore huno amanage huno asami'ne, Nagra Hihamu'ane Anumzamo'na kagrira negasmue. Nagri namagenentanku fatgo kavu'kava hunka manio.
Kwathi uAbrama eseleminyaka engamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lesificamunwemunye iNkosi yasibonakala kuAbrama, yathi kuye: NginguNkulunkulu uSomandla; hamba phambi kwami, uphelele.
2 Hanki Nagri huvempa keni'amo'a amu'nonti'afi me'nena, Nagra kagripinti vahera zamazeri hakare hugahue.
Njalo ngizakwenza isivumelwano sami phakathi kwami lawe, ngizakwandisa kakhulukazi.
3 Abramu'a avugosaregati mopafi mase'negeno, Anumzamo'a mago'ene amanage huno asami'ne,
UAbrama wasesiwa ngobuso bakhe, uNkulunkulu wasekhuluma laye, esithi:
4 Nagra kagrane huhagerafi huvempa ke huankino, hakare'a kokantega vahera kagripinti fore hu'za ku'ma ante'za mani avitesnagenka, kagra nafazami'za hugahane.
Mina ngokwami, khangela, isivumelwano sami silawe; futhi uzakuba nguyise wezizwe ezinengi.
5 Hagi Abramuge hu'za mago'enena kagia ohegahaze. Menina Abrahamuge hu'za hugahaze. Na'ankure kagra hakare'a veamokizmi nafazamiza hugahane.
Lebizo lakho kalisayikubizwa ngokuthi Abrama, kodwa ibizo lakho lizakuba nguAbrahama, ngoba ngikwenze uyise wexuku lezizwe.
6 Nagra kazeri ra hanena kagripinti hakare'a kokankoka vahera fore nehanageno, kini vahe'enena fore hugahaze.
Ngizakwenza uzale kakhulukazi, ngizakwenza izizwe, lamakhosi azaphuma kuwe.
7 Hanki'na Nagra amunonti'afi huhagerafi huvempage huankino, ama ana mevava huvempa ke'mo'a, kagrite'ene kagripinti'ma fore hanaza vahete'ene henkama fore hunante anante hu'za vanaza vahete'enena meno nevanige'na Nagra kagri Anumza mani'nena, kagripinti'ma fore hu anante ante'ma hu'za vanaza vahe'mokizmi Anumza manigahue.
Njalo ngizamisa isivumelwano sami phakathi kwami lawe lenzalo yakho emva kwakho ezizukulwaneni zayo, kube yisivumelwano esilaphakade, sokuthi ngibe nguNkulunkulu kuwe lakuyo inzalo yakho emva kwakho.
8 Kagri'ene, kagehe'ine, henkama fore hanamokizmine kragama emanina Kenani mopa tamivaneroe. Ana mopamo'a tamagriza seno mevava nehina, Nagra zamagri Anumza manigahue.
Ngizanika-ke wena lenzalo yakho emva kwakho ilizwe ohlala kilo njengowezizwe, ilizwe lonke leKhanani, libe yimfuyo elaphakade; njalo ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu kibo.
9 Hagi Anumzamo'a mago'ene amanage huno Abrahamuna asami'ne, Kagrane mofavrezaga ka'ane, kase anante anante hanamozanena huvempa keni'a amage anteho.
UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuAbrahama: Wena-ke uzagcina isivumelwano sami, wena lenzalo yakho emva kwakho ezizukulwaneni zayo.
10 Nagranema huhagerafi'nonku amanahu hugahaze, ne' mofavretmia mika zamagozamofo amega anoma'a taga hutregahaze. Henkama fore hu' anante anante'ma hu'za vanaza vahe'mo'zanena ana zanke hugahaze.
Lesi yisivumelwano sami elizasigcina phakathi kwami lani lenzalo yakho emva kwakho; sonke isilisa sisokwe kini.
11 Abrahamuga, Nagrane huhagerafi'noa zamofo avame'zama mesiana, kagozamofo amega noma'a taga hutro.
Lizasoka inyama yejwabu lenu laphambili; kuzakuba yisibonakaliso sesivumelwano phakathi kwami lani.
12 Hagi maka ne' mofavre'ma kasentesamokizmia 8ti zage gnare, knane knanena henkama fore hanaza mofavre'mokizmi zamufga taga hugahaze. Nonka'afima eri'za vahe'mo'ma kasentesia vahe'pinti'ene zagoreti'ma mizasesana vahe'ma aruregati e'nesia vahe'enena zamufa taga huzmantegahaze.
Lendodana yensuku eziyisificaminwembili izasokwa phakathi kwenu, sonke isilisa ezizukulwaneni zenu, ozelwe endlini, lothengwe ngemali kuye wonke oyisizwe, ongayisuye wenzalo yakho.
13 Kagri nompima mani'ne'za kasentenesa vahepi, zagoreti miza hu'nenaza vahe'mo'zanena, zamagoza anoma'a taga hugahaze. E'inama hanaza zamo'a Nagranema huhagerafi'noa zamofo avame'za zamagri zamufgarera mevava hugahie.
Ozelwe endlini yakho lothengwe ngemali yakho kumele asokwe. Lesivumelwano sami sizakuba senyameni yenu, sibe yisivumelwano esilaphakade.
14 Hagi agoza anoma taga osanimo'a, Nagranema huhagerafi'noa kea ruhantaginigu, agrira naga'afintira avre atregahaze.
Lesilisa esingasokwanga, esinyama yejwabu laphambili lingasokwanga, lowomphefumulo uzaqunywa usuke esizweni sawo, weqile isivumelwano sami.
15 Hanki Anumzamo'a amanage huno Abrahamuna asami'ne, kotera negnarona Sarai'e hu'nane. Hagi menina kasefa agi'a Sera'e hunka hugahane.
UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuAbrahama: NgoSarayi umkakho, ungabizi ibizo lakhe uthi nguSarayi, ngoba uSara libizo lakhe.
16 Nagra Serana asomu huntesugeno, agra mofavre eri fore hunegamina, asomu huntanena hakare vahe'mokizmi antazmiza nehanigeno, agripinti kini vahera fore hugahaze.
Njalo ngizambusisa, ngikunike indodana evela lakuye; yebo ngizambusisa abesesiba yizizwe, amakhosi ezizwe azavela kuye.
17 Abrahamu'a rena reno kepri huno agu'afina kizanereno anage hu'ne, Nagra 100'a zagegafu hugeno Sera'a 90'a zagegafu higeta, ko' ozafa tavava re'noanki, inankna huta mofavre kasentenaku nehukeno nehie?
UAbrahama wasesiwa ngobuso bakhe, wahleka, wathi enhliziyweni yakhe: Oleminyaka elikhulu uzazalelwa yini? Kambe loSara oleminyaka engamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye uzazala?
18 Abrahamu'a amanage huno Anumzamofo kenona hu'ne, knare Ismaeli'a kavure mani'neno asomura erigahie!
UAbrahama wasesithi kuNkulunkulu: Kungathi uIshmayeli angaphila phambi kwakho!
19 Hianagi Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, A'o tamage huno negnaro Sera'a mofavre kasentesigenka, agi'a Aisaki'e hunka antegahane. Nagra agrane huvempa hanugeno ana huvempa kemo'a agrite'ene, agripinti'ma henkama fore hu anante anante'ma hanaza vahete'ene mevava huno vugahie.
UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Hatshi, uSara umkakho uzakuzalela indodana; uzayitha ibizo uthi nguIsaka; njalo ngizamisa isivumelwano sami laye, sibe yisivumelwano esilaphakade kunzalo yakhe emva kwakhe.
20 Ismaeli kazigagu'ma nantahima kanana, hago antahuanki'na Nagra asomu huntesugeno, agripintira rama'a vahe fore hu'za manigahaze. Ana nehanageno 12fu'a kva vahe'mokizmi nezmafaza hugahie. Nagra agehemokizmia zamazeri hankavetisuge'za hanvenentake vahe manigahaze.
Mayelana loIshmayeli ngikuzwile-ke; khangela, ngimbusisile, njalo ngizamenza abe lenzalo, ngimandise kakhulukazi; uzazala iziphathamandla ezilitshumi lambili, njalo ngizamenza isizwe esikhulu.
21 Hianagi Nagra hu hagerafi huvempa ke'ni'a, Sera'ma kasentesia mofavre Aisakinte eri hanavetigahue. Ama ana knare anaga'a kafufi kasentegahie.
Kodwa isivumelwano sami ngizasimisa loIsaka, uSara azakuzalela yena ngalesisikhathi esimisiweyo ngomnyaka ozayo.
22 Anumzamo'a anage huno Abrahamu asmiteno, atreno vu'ne.
Wasecina ukukhuluma laye, uNkulunkulu wenyuka esuka kuAbrahama.
23 Abrahamu'a Ismaeline, eri'za vahe'amokizmine zamazerino zamagoza anona taga huvagare zamante'ne. Agranema manine'za kasezmante'naza eri'za vahe'ane, ru mopareti miza se'nea vahe'ane miko zamagoza anona taga huzmante'ne. Anumzamo'ma asmi'nea kante anteno ana zupage'za taga hu'ne.
UAbrahama wasethatha uIshmayeli indodana yakhe labo bonke ababezelwe endlini yakhe labo bonke ababethengwe ngemali yakhe, sonke isilisa phakathi kwabendlu kaAbrahama, wasoka inyama yejwabu labo laphambili, ngalona lolosuku, njengalokho uNkulunkulu akutshoyo kuye.
24 Abrahamu'a 99ni'a zagegafu manino ozafa reteno, avufga taga hu'ne.
LoAbrahama wayeleminyaka engamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lesificamunwemunye ekusokweni kwakhe inyama yejwabu lakhe laphambili.
25 Hanki Ismaeli'a 13ni'a zagegafu huno nehazave seno manigeno avufga taga hu'ne.
UIshmayeli-ke indodana yakhe wayeleminyaka elitshumi lantathu ekusokweni kwakhe inyama yejwabu lakhe laphambili.
26 E'i ana zupage Abrahamune, Ismaelikizni zanavufga taga huzanante'ne.
Ngalona lolosuku uAbrahama wasokwa, loIshmayeli indodana yakhe.
27 Miko eri'za vahe'ane, mofavrezimine agrane nemaniza kasente'nazampi, arurega vahe zagoreti miza sezmante'nea vahe'ene ana mika zamagoza anona taga hu'naze.
Lamadoda wonke omuzi wakhe, ayezelwe endlini layethengwe ngemali kowezizwe, asokwa kanye laye.
