Jenesis 20
1 Abrahamu'a maka feno zama'a enerino kumara atreno, Negev kaziga vuno Gerar umani'ne. Ana kumara Kadesine, Surine amu'nompi me'ne.
U-Abhrahama wathutha kuleyondawo waya emangweni waseNegebi wayahlala phakathi kweKhadeshi leShuri. Okwesikhatshana wake wahlala eGerari,
2 Hagi Abrahamu'a nenaro Serankura amanage huno zamasmine, Ama nensaro mani'ne. Higeno Gerari kumate kini ne' Abimeleki'ma ana nanekema nentahino'a, eri'za vahe'a huzmantege'za Serana ome avre'za eme ami'naze.
lapho u-Abhrahama athi khona ngomkakhe uSara, “Ngudadewethu.” Ngakho u-Abhimelekhi inkosi yaseGerari yathi uSara kalethwe, yazithathela.
3 Hianagi ana kenagera Anumzamo'a ava'nafi Abimelekina amanage huno eme asmi'ne, Antahio vereti a' avre'za eme kami'nazankinka frigahane.
Kodwa uNkulunkulu wafika ku-Abhimelekhi ephutsheni ebusuku wathi kuye, “Usufile wena ngenxa yomfazi omthetheyo; ngumfazi womnikazi.”
4 Higeno Abimeleki'a Sera'enema omase'negu huno amanage hu'ne. Ra Anumzamoka mago ke'a omane'nesia vahera knare amane kuma'ane naga'anena zamahe fanane hugahano?
Kodwa u-Abhimelekhi wayelokhu engakamthinti, ngakho wathi, “Thixo, uzasibhubhisa isizwe esimsulwa na?
5 Abrahamu'a agra nasmino, ama ara nensaro'e nehigeno, Sera'a Abrahamunkura nagra nesarone huno hu'ne. E'ina hu'negu Serama avre'za eme nenamizage'na nagra nagu'areti'ene antahi antahini'areti'ene fatgo avu'ava hu'noe hu'na nagesa antahi'noe.
Katshongo kimi yini wathi, ‘Ngudadewethu,’ laye katshongo na wathi, ‘Ungumnewethu?’ Lokhu ngikwenze ngenhliziyo emsulwa langezandla ezimhlophe.”
6 Higeno Anumzamo'a ava'nafina amanage huno Abimelekina asami'ne, Tamage hane, Nagra antahi'noe, kagra fatgo antahintahi antahinenka, anazana hu'nane. E'ina hu'nanke'na Nagra kase hugantogenka Serana avako osu'nane. E'igu kefozana osu'nane.
Ngalokho uNkulunkulu wasesithi kuye ephutsheni, “Yebo, ngiyakwazi ukuthi lokhu ukwenze ngenhliziyo emsulwa, yikho ngikuthintile ukuthi ungenzi isono kimi. Yikho ngingakuyekelanga wamthinta.
7 Hianagi ama a'mofo neve'a kasnampa ne' mani'neanki, huntegeno neve hirega vino. Nevanigeno negeno kagrama fri'zankura nunamu huno kza hino. Hanki hunte'nankeno ovaniana, kagrane maka'a naga kanena frigahaze.
Manje mbuyisele umfazi womuntu, ngoba umuntu lowo ungumphrofethi, uzakukhulekela ukuthi uphile. Kodwa nxa ungambuyiseli, yazi ukuthi wena lakho konke okungokwakho kuzakufa.”
8 Nanterame Abimeleki'a maka kva vahera ke hige'za eme atru hazageno, Anumzamo'ma ava'nafima asami'nea nanekea huama huno zamasmi'ne. Nezamasmige'za nentahi'za, tusi'za hu'za zamagogogu hu'naze.
Kusisa ngelanga elilandelayo ekuseni kakhulu, u-Abhimelekhi wabiza zonke izikhulu zakhe, kwathi esezitshelile konke okwenzakeleyo, zesaba kakhulu.
9 Abimeleki'a ke higeno Abrahamu'a egeno amanage huno antahige'ne. Kagra naza hurante'nane? Nagra kagrira mago'a kumira hugante'nogenka amanahu havizana kumani'ane vahe'nianena hurantano? Amanahu avu'avazama hanana, fatgo osu avu'ava hane.
U-Abhimelekhi wasebiza u-Abhrahama wathi, “Ukwenzeleni lokhu kithi na? Ngikone ngani uze ulethe ukona okunje phezu kwami lombuso wami na? Wenze kimi izinto okungafanelanga zenziwe.”
10 Nehuno Abimeleki'a amanage huno Abrahamuna asami'ne. Kagra nankna antahintahi hunka amanahu'zana hu'nane?
U-Abhimelekhi wabuza u-Abhrahama wathi, “Besiyini isizatho sakho sokwenza lokhu na?”
11 Higeno Abrahamu'a kenona amanage hu'ne, Na'ankure nagra amanage hu'na nagesa antahi'noe, ama kumapina Anumzamofonkura koro nosazanki'za, zamagra a'ni'areku hu'za nahe nefri'za a'nia erigahaze nehu'na anara hu'noe.
U-Abhrahama waphendula wathi, “Ngazitshela ngathi, ‘Ngempela kakukho ukumesaba uNkulunkulu kule indawo njalo bazangibulala ngenxa yomkami.’
12 Hanki ami ara nenfa mofa nensaro mani'ne. Ana hu'neanagi nenrera mofa omani'negu huno a'ni'a mani'ne.
Ngaphandle kwalokho, uvele ungudadewethu, indodakazi kababa kodwa engasuye kamama; waba ngumkami.
13 Hanki Anumzamo'ma hunantege'na nenfa noma netre'na amanage hu'na Serana asami'noe, hakare'a kaziga vanu'ana so'e kavukva hunantenka nensaro'e hunka huo hu'na asami'noe.
Kwathi uNkulunkulu esengisusile emzini kababa ngathi kuSara, ‘Nansi indlela ongatshengisa ngayo uthando lwakho kimi: Noma ngaphi lapho esiya khona, ubokuthi ngami, “Ungumnewethu.”’”
14 Anante Abimeleki'a sipisipine, bulimakaone, kazokazo eri'za vahera vene a'ene Abrahamuna avrenemino, nenaro Seranena avreno eme ami'ne.
U-Abhimelekhi waseletha izimvu lenkomo, lezisebenzi zesilisa lezesifazane wazipha u-Abhrahama, wabuyisela uSara umkakhe kuye.
15 Abimeleki'a amanage hu'ne, Ko! Ama maka nagri mopa me'neanki, kavesinirera amne umanio.
Njalo u-Abhimelekhi wathi, “Nanti ilizwe lami uyalibona; ungahlala lapho othanda khona.”
16 Nehuno Serana amanage huno asami'ne. Kagri'ma kagazema eri kami'nogu hu'na negasro Abrahamuna ama mizana 1tauseni'a silva zagoa mika negazage'na amue. E'ina nehanuge'za mika vahe'mo'za nege'za, nagrikura havi zana osu'ne hu'za hugahaze.
Wathi kuSara, “Umnewenu ngimupha amashekeli esiliva ayinkulungwane. Le iyinhlawulo yehlazo elenziwe kuwe phambi kwabantu bonke bakini; usugeziwe.”
17 Anage hutegeno Abrahamu'a Anumzamofontega nunamu higeno Anumzamo'a Abimelekine, nenarone, kazokzo eri'za mofanene, a'nenea zamazeri soe hige'za mofavre kasente'naze.
U-Abhrahama wasekhuleka kuNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wamsilisa u-Abhimelekhi, lomkakhe lezigqili zakhe zesifazane ukuthi babelabantwana njalo,
18 Na'ankure Abrahamu nenaro Seranteku huno Ra Anumzamo'a Abimeleki naga'mofo a'nea zamarimpa erigi'neane.
ngoba uThixo wayevale bonke abesifazane bendlu ka-Abhimelekhi inzalo ngenxa yomka-Abhrahama, uSara.
