UGenesisi 15
1 Emva kwalezizinto ilizwi leNkosi leza kuAbrama ngombono, lisithi: Ungesabi Abrama, ngiyisihlangu sakho, umvuzo wakho omkhulu kakhulu.
Mgbe nke a gasịrị, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Ebram site nʼọhụ, sị ya, “Atụla egwu, Ebram Abụ m ọta gị, ụgwọ ọrụ dị ukwu nke i nwere.”
2 UAbrama wasesithi: Nkosi Jehova, uzangiphani, njengoba lokhe ngingelamntwana, lendlalifa yendlu yami ingoweDamaseko uEliyezeri?
Ma Ebram zara sị ya, “Gị, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, gịnị bụ ihe ị ga-enye m ebe ọ bụ na m amụtaghị nwa? Lee, ọ bụ Elieza, onye Damaskọs, ga-eketa akụ m niile.”
3 UAbrama wasesithi: Khangela, kimi kawuphanga nzalo; njalo khangela, ozelwe endlini yami uzakuba yindlalifa yami.
Ebram gara nʼihu kwuo sị, “Ebe ọ bụ na m amụtaghị ụmụ, ọ bụ ohu nọ nʼụlọ m ga-eketa akụ m.”
4 Khangela-ke ilizwi leNkosi laba kuye lisithi: Lo kayikudla ilifa lakho, kodwa ozaphuma emibilini yakho, yena uzakudla ilifa lakho.
Ma okwu Onyenwe anyị rutere ya, “Nwoke a agaghị eketa ihe i nwere, kama nwa nwoke nke ga-esi nʼahụ gị pụta ga-eketa ihe i nwere.”
5 Wasemkhuphela phandle wathi: Khangela-ke emazulwini, ubale izinkanyezi uba ungazibala. Wasesithi kuye: Izakuba njalo inzalo yakho.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị kpọpụtara Ebram nʼezi sị ya, “Lelie anya gị elu na mbara eluigwe, gụọ kpakpando niile ị hụrụ ọnụ, ma ị ga-enwe ike ịgụta ha.” Ọ gwara ya sị, “Otu a ka mkpụrụ gị ga-adị. A gaghị agụta ha ọnụ.”
6 Wasekholwa eNkosini. Yasimbalela lokhu kube yikulunga.
Ebram kweere nʼihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru. Nʼihi nke a, a gụnyere ya okwukwe a dịka ezi omume.
7 Yasisithi kuye: NgiyiNkosi, eyakukhupha eUri yamaKhaladiya ukukunika ilizwe leli libe yilifa lakho.
Onyenwe anyị gwakwara ya sị, “Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, onye si nʼala Ụọ nke ndị Kaldịa kpọpụta gị, inye gị ala a ka ọ bụrụ ihe nweta gị.”
8 Wasesithi: Nkosi Jehova, ngizakwazi ngani ukuthi lizakuba yilifa lami?
Ma Ebram zara sị, “Biko, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị olee otu m ga-esi mara na m ga-enweta ya?”
9 Yasisithi kuye: Ngithathela ithokazi elileminyaka emithathu, lesibhuzikazi esileminyaka emithathu, lenqama eleminyaka emithathu, lejuba, lephuphu lenkwilimba.
Onyenwe anyị zara sị ya, “Wetara m nwa nne ehi gbara afọ atọ, na nne ewu gbara afọ atọ, na ebule gbara afọ atọ, na nduru, na nwa kpalakwukwu.”
10 Wasesisa kuyo zonke lezizinto, wazidabula phakathi, wabeka leyo laleyongxenye yazo ikhangelene lenye; kodwa inyoni kazidabulanga.
Ebram wetaara ya ihe ndị a niile bọwaa ha ụzọ abụọ, doo ha nʼusoro ka otu akụkụ chee akụkụ nke ọzọ ihu. Ma ọ bọwaghị ụmụ nnụnụ ndị ahụ.
11 Inyoni ezidla inyama zasezisehlela phezu kwezidumbu, uAbrama wasezixotshela khatshana.
Mgbe anụ ufe fekwasịrị ozu anụ ndị ahụ, Ebram chụpụrụ ha.
12 Kwasekusithi ilanga selitshona, ubuthongo obukhulu bajuma uAbrama; khangela-ke, uvalo lomnyama omkhulu lwehlela phezu kwakhe.
Mgbe anwụ bidoro ịda, Ebram dara nʼoke ụra, oke ụjọ na oke ọchịchịrị dakwasịrị ya.
13 Yasisithi kuAbrama: Yazi lokwazi ukuthi inzalo yakho izakuba yisihambi elizweni elingeyisilo layo, njalo bazabasebenzela, besebebahlupha iminyaka engamakhulu amane.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara ya sị, “Mata nke ọma na ụmụ ụmụ gị ga-anọ dịka ndị ọbịa nʼala na-abụghị nke ha. A ga-edo ha ọnọdụ dịka ndị ohu, mejọọ ha narị afọ anọ.
14 Kodwa lesizwe abazasisebenzela ngizasigweba; lemva kwalokho bazaphuma lempahla enengi.
Ma aga m ata mba ahụ ha na-efe dịka ohu ahụhụ. Nʼikpeazụ, ha ga-eji ọtụtụ akụ si nʼebe ahụ pụta.
15 Kodwa wena uzakuya kuboyihlo ngokuthula, uzangcwatshwa ekuluphaleni okuhle.
Ma ị ga-anwụ nʼudo. A ga-eli gị mgbe ị kara ezi nka.
16 Isizukulwana sesine sizabuya-ke lapha; ngoba isono samaAmori kasikapheleli.
Mgbe ọgbọ anọ gasịrị, ụmụ ụmụ gị ga-alọtakwa nʼala a. Nʼihi na mmehie ndị Amọrait erubeghị nʼuju ya.”
17 Kwasekusithi ilanga selitshonile sekumnyama, khangela-ke, imbawula ethunqayo lesihlanti somlilo esadabula phakathi kwalezozingxenye.
Mgbe anwụ dara, mgbe ọchịchịrị gbachiri ebe niile, ite ọkụ na-akwụ anwụrụ ọkụ nke nwere ọwa na-enwu ọkụ si nʼetiti ibe anụ ndị ahụ gafee.
18 Ngalolosuku iNkosi yenza isivumelwano loAbrama isithi: Enzalweni yakho nginikele lelilizwe, kusukela emfuleni weGibhithe kuze kube semfuleni omkhulu, umfula iYufrathi,
Nʼụbọchị ahụ ka Onyenwe anyị na Ebram gbara ndụ. Ọ sị, “Ndị agbụrụ gị ka m ga-enye ala ndị a, malite nʼiyi ndị Ijipt ruo nʼiyi ukwu Yufretis.
