Genesisy 15
1 Modo izay le nañento an’ aroñaroñe amy Avrame ty tsara’ Iehovà: Ko hemban-drehe, Avrame. Izaho ro fikalan-defo’o naho tambe’o ra’elahy.
Ngemva kwalokho ilizwi likaThixo leza ku-Abhrama ngombono: “Ungesabi, Abhrama. Ngiyisihlangu sakho, umvuzo wakho omkhulu kakhulu.”
2 Le hoe t’i Avrame, Ry Talè Iehovà, ino ty ho mea’o ahiko kanao betsiterake, vaho i Elièzere nte-Damaskose ro mpamandroñe ty akibako.
Kodwa u-Abhrama wathi, “Oh Thixo Wobukhosi, ungangiphani njengoba ngilokhu ngingelamntwana, ilifa lami lizadliwa ngu-Eliyezari waseDamaseko na?”
3 Le tinovo’ i Avrame ty hoe: Tsy nimea’o tiry iraho; aa le mpandovako i nitoly an-kibohokoy.
U-Abhrama wathi njalo, “Awungiphanga bantwana; ngakho inceku endlini yami izakuba yindlalifa yami.”
4 Le hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà ama’e: Tsy ie ty ho mpandova’o, fa ty hiboake am-bania’o ao ty ho mpandova’o.
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuye lathi: “Umuntu lo kayikuba yindlalifa yakho, kodwa indodana ephuma kowakho umzimba izakuba yindlalifa yakho.”
5 Nendese’e alafe ao le nanoa’e ty hoe: Miandrandrà mb’ andikerañ’ eñe vaho iaho o vasiañeo naho lefe’o iaheñe. Le hoe re tama’e, Mira amy zay ty ho tarira’o.
Wamkhuphela phandle wathi, “Khangela emkhathini ubale izinkanyezi, nxa usenelisa ukuzibala.” Wasesithi kuye, “Sizakuba njalo isizukulwane sakho.”
6 Niantofa’e t’Iehovà, le vinolili’e ho havantañañe ama’e.
U-Abhrama wamkholwa uThixo, lokho kwabalwa kuye njengokulunga.
7 Hoe ka Re tama’e: Izaho Iehovà ty nañakatse azo amy Ora’ o nte-Kasdìo hanolorako azo ty tane toa handrambesa’o aze.
Waphinda wathi kuye, “NginguThixo owakususa e-Uri lamaKhaladiya ukuzakupha lelilizwe ukuthi libe ngelakho.”
8 Fa hoe t’i Avrame, Ry Talè Iehovà, aia ty haharendrehako ty hatò t’ie ho fanañako?
Kodwa u-Abhrama wathi, “Oh Thixo Wobukhosi, ngingazi kanjani ukuthi lizakuba ngelami na?”
9 Aa le hoe re tama’e: Añendeso ty kiloa telo-ay, naho ty ose-vave telo-taoñe, vaho ty añondrilahy telo-taoñe, naho ty deho vaho ty ana-boromahilala.
UThixo wathi kuye, “Ngilethela ithokazi, imbuzi, lenqama, konke kuleminyaka emithathu yokuzalwa, kanye lejuba lenkwilimba esesencinyane.”
10 Aa le nandesa’ i Avrame naho nisalàhe’e vaho nalaha’e hifañatreke i tampa’e rey fe tsy nisalahe’e o voroñeo.
U-Abhrama wakuletha konke lokhu kuye, yilokho wakudabula phakathi ngakunye wakuhlela izingxenye zakho zakhangelana; kodwa izinyoni kazidabulanga phakathi.
11 Ie nivotrak’ amy henay o koàkeo le sinoi’ i Avrame añe.
Izinyoni ezidla inyama zehlela ezidunjini, kodwa u-Abhrama wazixotsha.
12 Nitsofotse i àndroy, le nilampon-drotse t’i Avrame, vaho ingo nandrongoñe aze ty hamoromoroñañe nampangebahebake.
Kwathi ilanga selitshona, u-Abhrama wathathwa yibuthongo obukhulu, wehlelwa yibumnyama obesabekayo.
13 Le hoe Re amy Avrame, Mahafohina an-katò te ho ambahiny an-tane tsy a’ iareo o tarira’oo naho hitoroñe iareo vaho hampisotrieñe efa-jato taoñe.
UThixo wasesithi kuye, “Yazi ngempela ukuthi Izizukulwane zakho zizakuba ngabezizweni elizweni elingayisilo labo okweminyaka engamakhulu amane, njalo bazagqilazwa, bahlukuluzwe khonale.
14 Le ho zakàko i tane mañondevo iareoy vaho hinday vara tsifotofoto t’ie hiakatse boak’ ao.
Kodwa ngizasijezisa lesosizwe esibagqilazayo, kuthi emva kwesikhathi baphume belemfuyo enengi kakhulu.
15 Fa homb’ aman-droae’o mb’eo am-pierañeràñan-drehe vaho haleveñe ami’ty taoñe soa haantetse.
Kodwa wena, uzakuya kubokhokho bakho ngokuthula, ungcwatshwe usukhulile kakhulu.
16 Hitampoly atoy iereo ami’ty tariratse fah’ efatse, amy te mbe tsy heneke ty hakeo’ o nte-Emoreo.
Isizukulwane sakho sesine sizabuya lapha, ngoba isono sama-Amori kasikafiki ekucineni.”
17 Ie nimotake i àndroy vaho nimaìeñe, le niheo mb’eo ty valàñe nahatoeñe naho ty foroha nibela niranga añivo o linili’eo.
Kwathi ilanga selitshonile, ubumnyama sebufikile, kwavela imbawula yomlilo, ithunqa intuthu, ilelangabi elibhebhayo, yadabula phakathi kweziqa zenyama.
18 Amy andro zay ty nanoa’ Iehovà fañina amy Avrame ami’ty hoe, Atoloko amo tarira’oo ty tane hirik’amy saka’ i Mitsraimey pak’ amy oñe jabajabay, i oñe Eofratay;
Ngalelolanga uThixo wenza isivumelwano lo-Abhrama wathi, “Ilizwe leli ngilipha izizukulwane zakho, kusukela emfuleni waseGibhithe kusiyafika emfuleni omkhulu, iYufrathe,
19 naho o nte-Keneo, o nte-Kenizeo, o nte-Kadmoneo,
ilizwe lamaKheni, lamaKhenizi, lamaKhadimoni,
20 o nte-Kheteo, o nte-Perizeo, o nte-Rafào,
lamaHithi, lamaPherizi, lamaRefayi,
21 o nte-Emoreo, o nte-Kanàneo, o nte-Girgaseo, vaho o nte-Ieboseo.
lama-Amori, lamaKhenani, lamaGigashi kanye lamaJebusi.”
