Jenesis 22
1 Hagi mago'a kafua agateretegeno Anumzamo'a Abrahamuna reheno kenaku anage hu'ne, Abrahamuo higeno, ama mani'noe huno Abrahamu'a hu'ne.
Emva kwesikhathi esithile uNkulunkulu walinga u-Abhrahama. Wathi kuye, “Abhrahama!” Waphendula wathi, “Ngilapha.”
2 Anumzamo'a anage huno asami'ne, Magoke mofavre, kavesi kavesi hunentana mofavrea Aisakina avrenka Morea moparega vuo, Nagrama kaverisua agonare anantega agrira ome ahenka tevefi Kresramana vuo.
UNkulunkulu wasesithi, “Thatha indodana yakho, indodana yakho eyiyo yodwa, u-Isaka, omthandayo, uye emangweni waseMoriya. Khonapho menze umhlatshelo abe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa phezu kwenye yezintaba engizakutshengisa yona.”
3 Higeno amenantera Abrahamu'a otino donki afura azeri retro nehuno, Kresramana vu tevea ape huno krevare'are enerino, tare eri'za vahe'ane mofavre'a Aisakine zamavareno, Anumzamo asmi'nea kotega vu'naze.
Kusisa ekuseni kakhulu u-Abhrahama wavuka wabopha ubabhemi wakhe. Wahamba lezinceku zakhe ezimbili kanye lendodana yakhe u-Isaka. Kwathi esegamule inkuni ezaneleyo zomnikelo wokutshiswa, waqhubeka waya kuleyondawo uNkulunkulu ayemtshele yona.
4 Tare zagegna agateregeno, anante knarera Abrahamu'a nevuno kesga huno anama asmi'nea kokana ke'ne.
Ngelanga lesithathu u-Abhrahama wakhangela, wayibona leyondawo kude le.
5 Agra eri'za vahetrema'agura amanage hu'ne, Amare donki afura anteta mani'neke'na nagrane ne'ni'ane anturega vuta Anumzamofona mono ome hunteteta ete egahu'e.
Wathi ezincekwini zakhe, “Hlalani lapha lobabhemi, mina lomfana sisake siye laphayana. Sizakuthi singakhonza sibuye kini.”
6 Abrahamu'a Kresramana vu teve erino Aisaki kofinenteno, agra'a hugre tevene, kazine erige'ne vu'na'e. Zanagra kantega nevu'ne,
U-Abhrahama wathatha inkuni zomnikelo wokutshiswa wazithwalisa umntanakhe u-Isaka, yena ngokwakhe waphatha umlilo lengqamu. Kwathi belokhu beqhubeka bobabili,
7 Aisaki'a anage huno nefana antahige'ne, Nenfao, higeno Abrahamu huno, voe, higeno, Hugre tevene, kre tevene eri'noe. Hagi inantegati Kresramana vu lama afura erigahu'e? Huno Aisaki'a antahige'ne.
u-Isaka wakhuluma wambuza uyise u-Abhrahama wathi, “Baba?” U-Abhrahama wasabela wathi, “Yebo, ndodana yami!” U-Isaka wathi, “Umlilo lenkuni nanku kukhona, kodwa iwundlu lomnikelo wokutshiswa lingaphi?”
8 Higeno Abrahamu'a kenona huno, Anumzamo Kresramanavu lama afura tamigahie, huno higeke vu'na'e.
U-Abhrahama waphendula wathi, “Ndodana yami, uNkulunkulu ngokwakhe uzasipha iwundlu lomnikelo wokutshiswa.” Baqhubeka bobabili bahamba.
9 Anumzamo'ma asami'nea kaziga unehanati'ne, Abrahamu'a have erino ita tro huno teve hanavazine. Ana huteno nemofo, Aisakina agare azante nofi anakinteteno, ana ita agofetu azeri sga humasente'ne.
Sebefikile endaweni uNkulunkulu amtshela yona, u-Abhrahama wakha i-Alithari khonapho walungisa inkuni phezu kwalo. Wabopha indodana yakhe u-Isaka wayilalisa e-alithareni phezu kwenkuni.
10 Abrahamu'a kazima'a erino Aisakina kazi refriku nehigeno,
Waseselula isandla sakhe ethatha ingqamu ukuba abulale indodana yakhe.
11 monafinkati Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo kezatino, Abrahamuo! Abrahamuo! Higeno Abrahamu'a huno, Ama mani'noe.
Kodwa ingilosi kaThixo yamemeza isezulwini yathi, “Abhrahama! Abhrahama!” Waphendula wathi, “Ngilapha.”
12 Higeno ankeromo'a huno, Mofavremofo avufgarera kazana onto, mago'zana huonto. Menima kagri'ma kagentoana Nagrite kamentinti nehunka, Anumzamofonku kore nehane. Na'ankure Nagri'ma nami'zantera magoke mofavreka'a aze'orinane.
Yathi, “Ungamthinti ngesandla sakho umfana. Ungenzi lutho kuye. Khathesi sengisazi ukuthi uyamesaba uNkulunkulu, ngoba kawuyigodlanga indodana yakho eyiyo yodwa.”
13 Higeno Abrahamu'a kesga huno osi zafa titipafi ve rama afumo pazive'afi rusi hu'negeno ke'ne. Ana ve rama afu ome azerino mofavre'amofo nona'a aheno tevefi kre fananehu ofa hu'ne.
U-Abhrahama wathi uyakhangela wabona inqama esixukwini ibanjwe ngempondo zayo. Waya khona wayithatha inqama wenza umhlatshelo womnikelo wokutshiswa esikhundleni sendodana yakhe.
14 Abrahamu'a ana agonagura Ra Anumzamo tamigahie huno agi'a ante'ne. Hankino eno menima mani'nona knafinena, Ra Anumzamofo agonare tamigahie hu'za nehaze.
Yikho u-Abhrahama wabiza indawo leyo ngokuthi uThixo Uzakupha. Kuze kube lamuhla kuthiwa, “Entabeni kaThixo kuzaphiwa.”
15 Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo monafinkati Abrahamunku mago'ene kezatino,
Ingilosi kaThixo yabiza u-Abhrahama isezulwini ngokwesibili
16 Anage hu'ne, Nagrani'a Ra Anumzamo'na hankavenentake ke nehue, na'ankure ke'nia erizafa nehunka ne'mofavreka'a, magoke ne'mofavrea azeorinane.
yathi, “Ngifunga ngami uqobo, kutsho uThixo, ukuthi ngenxa yokuthi ukwenzile lokhu, kawaze wayigodla indodana yakho eyiyo yodwa,
17 Nagra asomu huneganta'nena kagri kagehe'impintira fore huhakare hu'za monafinka hanafi ene hagerinkenafi kasepankna nehanage'za, ha' vahe'zmi ranra kumara eri nafa'a hugahaze.
ngempela ngizakubusisa ngenze izizukulwane zakho zibe zinengi njengezinkanyezi emkhathini lanjengetshebetshebe okhunjini lolwandle. Izizukulwane zakho zizawathatha amadolobho ezitha zazo,
18 Na'ankure kagri kagehe'impinti mika kokankoka vahe'mo'za asomura erigahaze. Na'ankure nagri ke'mofo avaririnanku anara hugahue.
kuthi ngenzalo yakho zonke izizwe zomhlaba zizabusiswa, ngoba ungilalele.”
19 Anage hutegeno, Abrahamu'ene Aisakikea eri'za ne'trentega ake'za, maka'mo'za kuma zamirega Berseba vu'naze. Abrahamu'a anante Berseba rama'a kna mani'ne.
Emva kwalokho u-Abhrahama wabuyela ezincekwini zakhe, basebehamba bonke eBherishebha. U-Abhrahama wahlala eBherishebha.
20 Hagi mago'a kna evutege'za, Abrahamuna eme asamiza, Negafu Nahori nenaro Milka'a mago'a ne'mofavre'zaga kasezmante'ne hu'za eme asami'naze.
Emva kwesikhathi esithile u-Abhrahama watshelwa ukuthi, “UMilikha laye uselabantwana; sewazalela umfowenu uNahori amadodana:
21 Ana mofavremokizmi zamagi'a, Uzi'a pusa nere, Buzi'a agri negna'e, magora Kemuelikino Aramu nefa'e.
u-Uzi izibulo, uBhuzi umfowabo, uKhemuweli (uyise ka-Aramu),
22 Hagi mago'a mofavre nagara Keseti'e, Hazori'e Pildasi'e, Judlafi'e, Betueli'e.

23 Hagi Betueli'a Rebeka nefa'e. Milka'a, Nahorintetira 8'a ne'mofavre zaga zamante'ne. Nahori'a Abrahamuna nefu'e.
UBhethuweli wazala uRabheka. UMilikha wazala amadodana la ayisificaminwembili loNahori umfowabo ka-Abhrahama.
24 Hanki Nahorina mago kazokzo eri'za a'mofo agi'a Reumakino, Nahorintetira Teba anteno, Gahamu anteno, Tahasi anteno, Makakizmi zamante'ne.
Umfazi wakhe omncane owayethiwa nguRewuma laye wayelamadodana la: uThebha, uGahamu, uThahashi kanye loMahakha.
