UGenesisi 15
1 Emva kwalezizinto ilizwi leNkosi leza kuAbrama ngombono, lisithi: Ungesabi Abrama, ngiyisihlangu sakho, umvuzo wakho omkhulu kakhulu.
Le nya siawo megbe la, Yehowa ƒo nu na Abram le ŋutega me gblɔ nɛ be, “Mègavɔ̃ o, Abram, elabena nyee nye wò akpoxɔnu, maʋli tawò, eye makɔ yayra geɖewo ɖe dziwò.”
2 UAbrama wasesithi: Nkosi Jehova, uzangiphani, njengoba lokhe ngingelamntwana, lendlalifa yendlu yami ingoweDamaseko uEliyezeri?
Ke Abram gblɔ be, “O, Aƒetɔ Yehowa, nu ka nàte ŋu anam esi vi mele asinye o, eye ame si anyi nye domee nye Eliezer tso Damasko?”
3 UAbrama wasesithi: Khangela, kimi kawuphanga nzalo; njalo khangela, ozelwe endlini yami uzakuba yindlalifa yami.
Eye Abram gblɔ be, “Mèna vi aɖekem o, eya ta nye subɔlae anyi nye dome.”
4 Khangela-ke ilizwi leNkosi laba kuye lisithi: Lo kayikudla ilifa lakho, kodwa ozaphuma emibilini yakho, yena uzakudla ilifa lakho.
Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be, “Ao, ame bubu aɖeke manyi wò dome o, elabena àdzi ŋutsuvi, ame si anyi wò dome.”
5 Wasemkhuphela phandle wathi: Khangela-ke emazulwini, ubale izinkanyezi uba ungazibala. Wasesithi kuye: Izakuba njalo inzalo yakho.
Yehowa kplɔ Abram va xexe le ɣletiɖiɖi nu, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Kpɔ dziƒo ɖa, eye nàxlẽ ɣletiviawo, ne àte ŋu axlẽ wo ko. Nenema tututue wò dzidzimeviwo anɔ; ame aɖeke mate ŋu axlẽ wo o!”
6 Wasekholwa eNkosini. Yasimbalela lokhu kube yikulunga.
Abram xɔ Yehowa dzi se, eye Yehowa bui dzɔdzɔenyenye nɛ.
7 Yasisithi kuye: NgiyiNkosi, eyakukhupha eUri yamaKhaladiya ukukunika ilizwe leli libe yilifa lakho.
Eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Nyee nye Yehowa, ame si kplɔ wò tso Ur le Kaldea be matsɔ anyigba sia ana wò tegbetegbe.”
8 Wasesithi: Nkosi Jehova, ngizakwazi ngani ukuthi lizakuba yilifa lami?
Ke Abram biae be, “O, Aƒetɔ Yehowa, aleke mawɔ aka ɖe edzi be àtsɔe nam?”
9 Yasisithi kuye: Ngithathela ithokazi elileminyaka emithathu, lesibhuzikazi esileminyaka emithathu, lenqama eleminyaka emithathu, lejuba, lephuphu lenkwilimba.
Eɖo eŋu nɛ gblɔ be, “Tsɔ nyinɔ si xɔ ƒe etɔ̃, gbɔ̃nɔ si xɔ ƒe etɔ̃, agbo si xɔ ƒe etɔ̃, akpakpa kple ahɔnɛ siwo metsi o la vɛ.”
10 Wasesisa kuyo zonke lezizinto, wazidabula phakathi, wabeka leyo laleyongxenye yazo ikhangelene lenye; kodwa inyoni kazidabulanga.
Abram tsɔ lãawo kple xeawo vɛ nɛ. Efe lãawo me ɖe akpa eve, eye wòtsɔ lãawo ƒe afãwo ɖo ɖe wo nɔewo ŋu le fli ene me, gake mefe xeviawo yame o.
11 Inyoni ezidla inyama zasezisehlela phezu kwezidumbu, uAbrama wasezixotshela khatshana.
Esi akagawo va lãawo ɖu ge la, Abram nya wo.
12 Kwasekusithi ilanga selitshona, ubuthongo obukhulu bajuma uAbrama; khangela-ke, uvalo lomnyama omkhulu lwehlela phezu kwakhe.
Esi ɣe nɔ to ɖom la, Abram dɔ alɔ̃ yi eme ʋĩi, eye wòkpɔ ŋutega dziŋɔ aɖe.
13 Yasisithi kuAbrama: Yazi lokwazi ukuthi inzalo yakho izakuba yisihambi elizweni elingeyisilo layo, njalo bazabasebenzela, besebebahlupha iminyaka engamakhulu amane.
Le ŋutega me la, Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be, “Medi be nànyae kɔtɛe be, woate wò dzidzimeviwo ɖe to abe amedzroviwo ene eye woasubɔ ame mawo le dzronyigba dzi ƒe alafa ene sɔŋ.
14 Kodwa lesizwe abazasisebenzela ngizasigweba; lemva kwalokho bazaphuma lempahla enengi.
Ke mahe to na dukɔ ma si awɔ wo kluviwoe. Emegbe la, woado le dukɔ ma te kple kesinɔnu geɖewo.
15 Kodwa wena uzakuya kuboyihlo ngokuthula, uzangcwatshwa ekuluphaleni okuhle.
Wò la, àku le ŋutifafa me, ne ètsi xɔ ƒe geɖe.
16 Isizukulwana sesine sizabuya-ke lapha; ngoba isono samaAmori kasikapheleli.
Le dzidzime ene megbe la, wò dzidzimeviwo agbɔ ava anyigba sia dzi, elabena ɣe ma ɣi koe Amoritɔwo, ame siwo le anyigba sia dzi fifia la ƒe nu vɔ̃wo asɔ gbɔ na tohehe.”
17 Kwasekusithi ilanga selitshonile sekumnyama, khangela-ke, imbawula ethunqayo lesihlanti somlilo esadabula phakathi kwalezozingxenye.
Esi ɣe ɖo to, eye viviti do la, Abram kpɔ ze aɖe si me dzudzɔ nɔ dodom tso kɔlikɔli kple akakati aɖe si nɔ lã kuku fefeawo dome tom.
18 Ngalolosuku iNkosi yenza isivumelwano loAbrama isithi: Enzalweni yakho nginikele lelilizwe, kusukela emfuleni weGibhithe kuze kube semfuleni omkhulu, umfula iYufrathi,
Ale Yehowa wɔ nubabla sia kple Abram gbe ma gbe gblɔ be, “Metsɔ anyigba sia si le Egipte tɔsisi la kple Frat tɔsisi gã la dome la na wò dzidzimeviwo.
