< UGenesisi 15 >

1 Emva kwalezizinto ilizwi leNkosi leza kuAbrama ngombono, lisithi: Ungesabi Abrama, ngiyisihlangu sakho, umvuzo wakho omkhulu kakhulu.
Kana booddee dubbiin Waaqayyoo mulʼataan gara Abraam dhufee akkana jedhe; “Yaa Abraam hin sodaatin; ani gaachana keetii fi gatii kee guddicha.”
2 UAbrama wasesithi: Nkosi Jehova, uzangiphani, njengoba lokhe ngingelamntwana, lendlalifa yendlu yami ingoweDamaseko uEliyezeri?
Abraam garuu, “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, waan ani ijoollee hin qabneef namni qabeenya koo dhaaluuf jiru Eliiʼezer namicha Damaasqoo kana; egaa ati maal naa kennita?” jedhe.
3 UAbrama wasesithi: Khangela, kimi kawuphanga nzalo; njalo khangela, ozelwe endlini yami uzakuba yindlalifa yami.
Abraam, “Kunoo ati ijoollee tokko illee naa hin kennine; hojjetaan mana koo jiraatu tokko kunoo na dhaaluuf jira” jedhe.
4 Khangela-ke ilizwi leNkosi laba kuye lisithi: Lo kayikudla ilifa lakho, kodwa ozaphuma emibilini yakho, yena uzakudla ilifa lakho.
Kunoo dubbiin Waaqayyoo gara isaa dhufee, “Ilma gudeeda keetiitu dhaaltuu kee taʼa malee namichi kun dhaaltuu kee hin taʼu” jedhe.
5 Wasemkhuphela phandle wathi: Khangela-ke emazulwini, ubale izinkanyezi uba ungazibala. Wasesithi kuye: Izakuba njalo inzalo yakho.
Innis Abraamin gad baasee, “Samiiwwan ol ilaaliitii yoo urjiiwwan lakkaaʼuu dandeesse lakkaaʼi” jedhe. Itti fufees, “Sanyiin kees akkanuma baayʼata” jedheen.
6 Wasekholwa eNkosini. Yasimbalela lokhu kube yikulunga.
Abraam Waaqayyotti amane; innis qajeelummaatti lakkaaʼeef.
7 Yasisithi kuye: NgiyiNkosi, eyakukhupha eUri yamaKhaladiya ukukunika ilizwe leli libe yilifa lakho.
Innis, “Ani Waaqayyo isa akka ati ishee dhaaltuuf biyya kana siif kennuuf jedhee Uuri biyya Kaldootaa keessaa si baasee dha” jedheen.
8 Wasesithi: Nkosi Jehova, ngizakwazi ngani ukuthi lizakuba yilifa lami?
Abraam garuu, “Yaa Waaqayyoo Gooftaa, ani biyya kana dhaaluu koo akkamittin beeka?” jedhe.
9 Yasisithi kuye: Ngithathela ithokazi elileminyaka emithathu, lesibhuzikazi esileminyaka emithathu, lenqama eleminyaka emithathu, lejuba, lephuphu lenkwilimba.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo, “Goromsa tokko, reʼee tokkoo fi korbeessa hoolaa tokko kanneen tokkoon tokkoon isaanii waggaa sadii sadii guutan, akkasumas gugee tokkoo fi gugee sookkee tokko naa fidi” jedheen.
10 Wasesisa kuyo zonke lezizinto, wazidabula phakathi, wabeka leyo laleyongxenye yazo ikhangelene lenye; kodwa inyoni kazidabulanga.
Abraamis warra kana hunda gara isaatti fidee, qixxee lamaanitti kukkute; warra qixxee lamaanitti kukkutamanis gamaa gamana kaaʼe; simbirroota garuu qixxee lamaanitti hin kukkunne.
11 Inyoni ezidla inyama zasezisehlela phezu kwezidumbu, uAbrama wasezixotshela khatshana.
Ergasii allaattiin foon sanatti gad buute; Abraam garuu irraa ariʼe.
12 Kwasekusithi ilanga selitshona, ubuthongo obukhulu bajuma uAbrama; khangela-ke, uvalo lomnyama omkhulu lwehlela phezu kwakhe.
Utuma aduun dhiʼaa jirtuu hirribni guddaan Abraamin qabe; kunoo dukkanni guddaanii fi sodaachisaan isa irra buʼe.
13 Yasisithi kuAbrama: Yazi lokwazi ukuthi inzalo yakho izakuba yisihambi elizweni elingeyisilo layo, njalo bazabasebenzela, besebebahlupha iminyaka engamakhulu amane.
Waaqayyos akkana isaan jedhe; “Akka sanyiin kee biyya kan isaa hin taʼin keessatti alagaa taʼee waggaa dhibba afuris achitti garboomfamee cunqurfamu dhugumaan beeki.
14 Kodwa lesizwe abazasisebenzela ngizasigweba; lemva kwalokho bazaphuma lempahla enengi.
Ani garuu saba isaan akkuma garbootaatti tajaajilan sana nan adaba; ergasii immoo isaan qabeenya guddaa fudhatanii achii baʼu.
15 Kodwa wena uzakuya kuboyihlo ngokuthula, uzangcwatshwa ekuluphaleni okuhle.
Ati garuu nagaan gara abbootii keetii dhaqxa; bara dheeraas jiraattee awwaalamta.
16 Isizukulwana sesine sizabuya-ke lapha; ngoba isono samaAmori kasikapheleli.
Sanyiin kee dhaloota afuraffaatti as deebiʼa; cubbuun Amoorotaa amma iyyuu hin guunneetii.”
17 Kwasekusithi ilanga selitshonile sekumnyama, khangela-ke, imbawula ethunqayo lesihlanti somlilo esadabula phakathi kwalezozingxenye.
Yommuu aduun lixxee dukkanaaʼettis kunoo barbadaan ibiddaa aaru guca tokko wajjin mulʼatee foon kukkutame sana gidduu darbe.
18 Ngalolosuku iNkosi yenza isivumelwano loAbrama isithi: Enzalweni yakho nginikele lelilizwe, kusukela emfuleni weGibhithe kuze kube semfuleni omkhulu, umfula iYufrathi,
Gaafa sanas Waaqayyo akkana jedhee Abraam wajjin kakuu gale; “Ani biyya laga Gibxii jalqabee hamma laga Efraaxiis guddichaatti jiru kana sanyii keetiif nan kenna;
19 amaKeni lamaKenizi lamaKadimoni
kunis biyya Qeenotaa, Qeneezotaa, Qadmoonotaas,
20 lamaHethi lamaPerizi lamaRefa
kan Heetotaa, Feerzotaa, Refaayimootaa,
21 lamaAmori lamaKhanani lamaGirigashi lamaJebusi.
Amoorotaa, Kanaʼaanotaa Girgaashotaatii fi kan Yebuusotaa jechuu dha.”
