UGenesisi 12
1 UThixo wathi ku-Abhrama, “Suka elizweni lakini, lebantwini bakini lasendlini kayihlo uye elizweni engizakutshengisa lona.
Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Abramuna asami'ne, Mopakane, vaheka'ane negafa vahe'enena zamatrenka Nagrama kaveri hanua mopare vuo.
2 Ngizakwenza ube yisizwe esikhulu njalo ngizakubusisa; ngizakwenza ibizo lakho libe likhulu, njalo uzakuba yisibusiso.
Nagra kagripinti vahera zamazeri ra hanuge'za, rama'a vahe fore hu'za manigahaze. Nagra asomu hunegante'na, kagi'a eri ra neha'nena, kagripinti maka ama mopafi vahe'mo'za asomura erigahaze.
3 Ngizababusisa labo abakubusisayo, lalowo okuqalekisayo ngizamqalekisa; njalo bonke abantu emhlabeni bazakubusiswa ngawe.”
Kagri'ma asomu hugantesimofona Nagra asomu huntegahue. Hianagi aza'o kagri'ma kazeri haviza hanimofona, Nagra azeri haviza hugahue. Maka mopafi naga'mo'za kagripinti asomura erigahaze.
4 Ngakho u-Abhrama wasuka, njengokutshelwa kwakhe nguThixo; njalo uLothi wahamba laye. U-Abhrama wayeleminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu ekusukeni kwakhe eHarani.
Anumzamo'ma kema asmiaza huno Abramu'a Harani kumara atreno nevigeno, Loti'a agrane vu'ne. Abramu'a 75'a zagegafu nehuno Haranitira otino vu'ne.
5 Wathatha umkakhe uSarayi, lomntanomfowabo uLothi, lempahla yabo yonke ababeyizuzile kanye labantu ababebatholile eHarani, baqonda elizweni laseKhenani, bayafika khona.
Abramu'a nenaro Saraima, nagana'amofo mofavre Loti'ma, eri'za vahe'ane, nezmavreno maka afufenoma'ane e'nerino Harani kumara atre'za Kenani mopare vu'za, Kenani uhanati'naze.
6 U-Abhrama wahamba walidabula ilizwe waze wafika endaweni yesihlahla esikhulu saseMore eShekhemu. Ngalesosikhathi amaKhenani ayephakathi kwelizwe.
Hanki Abramu'a Kenani mopa amu'nompi rugitagino eva eva huno Sekemu ra oki zafa me'nere More kumate ehanati'ne. Hanki ana knafina Kenani vahe'mo'za ana mopafina mani'nageno ehanati'ne.
7 UThixo wabonakala ku-Abhrama wathi, “Lelilizwe ngizalinika inzalo yakho.” Ngakho wasesakha i-alithari khonapho elakhela uThixo owayebonakele kuye.
Ra Anumzamo'a Abramunte eno amanage huno eme asmi'ne, Maka ama mopa nagaka'a zamigahue, higeno Abramu'a Ra Anumzante Kresramana vunaku ita trohu'ne.
8 Esuka lapho waqonda ezintabeni empumalanga kweBhetheli wamisa ithente lakhe, iBhetheli isentshonalanga le-Ayi isempumalanga. Khonapho wakhela uThixo i-alithari walidumisa ibizo likaThixo.
Ananteti atreno agonarega vuno Betel kumara agatereno, Ai zage hanati kaziga megeno, Betel kuma zage fre kaziga me'negeno amu'nompi seli nona ome ki'ne. Ana huteno Ra Anumzanku nentahino, have ita tro huno Ra Anumzamofo agihanta vazino monora hunte'ne.
9 U-Abhrama wasuka waqhubeka eqonda eNegebi.
Hagi Abramu'a mago'ene manitere hume vuno Negevi uhanati'ne.
10 Kwasekusiba lendlala elizweni, okwenza u-Abhrama waya eGibhithe ukuyahlala khona okwesikhathi esithile ngoba indlala yayinkulu kakhulu.
Ana knafina tusi'a agatonto kna fore higeno Abramu'a Isipi moparega vu'ne, na'ankure tusi'a agate kna fore higeno'e.
11 Kwathi esebanga ukungena eGibhithe wathi kumkakhe uSarayi, “Ngiyazi ukuthi ungumfazi omuhle kakhulu.
Hagi Isipima vu kofta nehuno nenaro Sarainkura amanage huno asami'ne. Kagri'ma kagoana kagra knare hunka soe a' mani'nananki'za,
12 AmaGibhithe azakuthi ekubona athi, ‘Lo ngumkakhe.’ Lapho-ke bazangibulala wena bakuyekele uphile.
Isipi vahe'mo'za kagesu'za Agri nenaro'e hu'za nahe fri'za kagrira a' kavre antegahaze.
13 Ubokuthi ungudadewethu, ukuze ngiphathwe kuhle ngenxa yakho njalo lempilo yami isinde ngenxa yakho.”
E'ina hu'negu, nensaro mani'ne hunka huge'za onahe'za natre'sage'na mani'neno.
14 Kwathi u-Abhrama efika eGibhithe, amaGibhithe abona umkakhe ukuthi wayengumfazi omuhle kakhulu.
Abramu'a anage huno nehuno Isipi uhanatige'za, Isipi vahe'mo'za Saraima kazana knare a' mani'nege'za ke'naze.
15 Izikhulu zikaFaro sezimbonile zamncoma kakhulu kuFaro, uSarayi wasengeniswa esigodlweni sakhe.
Fero eri'za vahe'mo'za Saraina kete'za Ferona ome asami'za, knare a' mani'ne hu'za nehu'za, Saraina avre'za Fero nompi ome ante'naze.
16 Wamphatha kuhle u-Abhrama ngenxa kaSarayi, ngakho u-Abhrama wazuza izimvu lenkomo, obabhemi abaduna labasikazi, izinceku zesilisa lezesifazane lamakamela.
Fero'a Saraima muse huntea kazigati, knare huno Abramuna kegava hunenteno, sipisipima, bulimakaoma, donkima, eri'za vahera vene a'ene nemino, a' donkine kemorine huno Abramuna ami'ne.
17 Kodwa uThixo wehlisela uFaro lendlu yakhe izifo ezimbi ngenxa kaSarayi umka-Abhrama.
Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a tusi'a krirami atregeno Feronte ene, noma'afima nemaniza vahete'ene e'ne. Na'ankure Abramu nenaro Sarainteku e'inahura huzmante'ne.
18 Ngakho uFaro wabiza u-Abhrama wathi, “Wenzeni kimi? Kungani ungangitshelanga ukuthi ungumkakho na?
Fero'a ke higeno Abramu'a egeno anage huno asami'ne, Na'a ama zana hunante'nane? Nahigenka Sarai'a a'ni'a mani'ne hunka onasmi'nane?
19 Watsholoni ukuthi ungudadewenu, ngacina sengizithathele mina waba ngowami? Manje, nangu umkakho. Mthathe uhambe!”
Nahigenka nensaro'e hankena ara avre'noe? Ama'ne negnaro'a! Ko avrenka vuo.
20 UFaro waselaya ukuthi u-Abhrama lamadoda ayelawo basuswe elizweni, kanye lomkakhe lakho konke ayelakho.
Fero'a hankave'ane ke vahe'a huzmanteno, Abramuna kegava hu'nenkeno nenaro'ene mika afu fenoznia enerine, ama mopa atrene vi'o huno huzmante'ne.
