UGenesisi 15
1 Emva kwalezizinto ilizwi leNkosi leza kuAbrama ngombono, lisithi: Ungesabi Abrama, ngiyisihlangu sakho, umvuzo wakho omkhulu kakhulu.
Basa ma, Lamatualain natudꞌu Aon neu Abram nae, “Abram! Afiꞌ mumutau. Au usulaꞌe nggo mia musu ma. Ma Au fee nggo hahambuꞌ naeꞌ.”
2 UAbrama wasesithi: Nkosi Jehova, uzangiphani, njengoba lokhe ngingelamntwana, lendlalifa yendlu yami ingoweDamaseko uEliyezeri?
Te Abram nae, “Eee, Lamatualain. Onaꞌ mae Lamatualain nae fee au naeꞌ o, nda ngguna saa saꞌ boe. Huu au nda ma anaꞌ fo fee au tititi-nonosiꞌ sa. Dadꞌi hambu hata-hetoꞌ nae-nae tao neu saa? Neꞌo akaꞌ au ate ngga, Eliasar mia Damsik, hambu basa se.”
3 UAbrama wasesithi: Khangela, kimi kawuphanga nzalo; njalo khangela, ozelwe endlini yami uzakuba yindlalifa yami.
4 Khangela-ke ilizwi leNkosi laba kuye lisithi: Lo kayikudla ilifa lakho, kodwa ozaphuma emibilini yakho, yena uzakudla ilifa lakho.
Te LAMATUALAIN nataa nae, “Nda taꞌo naa sa! Te ho ana ma mana hambu hata-heto ma, nda ate a sa.”
5 Wasemkhuphela phandle wathi: Khangela-ke emazulwini, ubale izinkanyezi uba ungazibala. Wasesithi kuye: Izakuba njalo inzalo yakho.
Boe ma Ana no Abram dea neu, de nafadꞌe nae, “Mete lalai a dei. Mete sobꞌa nduuꞌ ra. Ho reken mala se, do? Tititi-nonosi mara dei fo ramaheta onaꞌ nduuꞌ ra boe!”
6 Wasekholwa eNkosini. Yasimbalela lokhu kube yikulunga.
Abram rena nala ma, ana simbo LAMATUALAIN oꞌola na. De LAMATUALAIN uku nae, Abram rala ndos, huu namahere E.
7 Yasisithi kuye: NgiyiNkosi, eyakukhupha eUri yamaKhaladiya ukukunika ilizwe leli libe yilifa lakho.
LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ tute nae, “Au ia, Lamatualain. Au mana o nggo lao hela kambo Ur sia atahori Kasdim rae na. Au mana fee rae ia dadꞌi hata-heto ma.”
8 Wasesithi: Nkosi Jehova, ngizakwazi ngani ukuthi lizakuba yilifa lami?
Abram natane nae, “Dadꞌi taꞌo bee LAMATUALAIN? Taꞌo bee fo uhine ae rae ia dadꞌi au hata-heto ngga?”
9 Yasisithi kuye: Ngithathela ithokazi elileminyaka emithathu, lesibhuzikazi esileminyaka emithathu, lenqama eleminyaka emithathu, lejuba, lephuphu lenkwilimba.
Boe ma nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia! Uma fo ata tao dalaꞌ esa dadꞌi hehelu-fufuliꞌ neu Au oꞌola Ngga faꞌ ra. De muu haꞌi banda fee Au. Naeni, sapi ine sa, hiek ine sa, ma bibꞌi lombo mone sa. Basa se musi too beꞌe teluꞌ. Boe ma mendi seluꞌ mbui teu esa, no mbui lunda esa.”
10 Wasesisa kuyo zonke lezizinto, wazidabula phakathi, wabeka leyo laleyongxenye yazo ikhangelene lenye; kodwa inyoni kazidabulanga.
Boe ma Abram neu haꞌi basa banda naa ra. De ana sefa se reu beꞌe ruaꞌ. Ana mbedꞌaꞌ sisi naa ra banggi rua neu rae, esa mbali esa, dadꞌi dalaꞌ rua. Te ana nda sefa mbuiꞌ ra sa.
11 Inyoni ezidla inyama zasezisehlela phezu kwezidumbu, uAbrama wasezixotshela khatshana.
Dei de mbui-mbuiꞌ mana naa sisi mburuꞌ ra rema rae raa sisi naa ra. Te Abram oi hendi se.
12 Kwasekusithi ilanga selitshona, ubuthongo obukhulu bajuma uAbrama; khangela-ke, uvalo lomnyama omkhulu lwehlela phezu kwakhe.
Relo a nae mopo ma, Abram sungguꞌ nasambeta ma nalamein nae, maꞌahatuꞌ a tatana nala e, losa namatau seli.
13 Yasisithi kuAbrama: Yazi lokwazi ukuthi inzalo yakho izakuba yisihambi elizweni elingeyisilo layo, njalo bazabasebenzela, besebebahlupha iminyaka engamakhulu amane.
Ma Lamatualain nafadꞌe e nae, “Abram! Dei fo musodꞌa losa mumulasi mala seli, ma mate mo nemehoꞌot, fo raꞌoi nggo no malolole. Te tititi-nonosi mara dadꞌi atahori manatain sia atahori feaꞌ nusa na. Dei fo atahori sia nusaꞌ naa tao se dadꞌi ate, ma tuni-ndeni se losa too natun haa. Te Au huku-doki nusaꞌ naa atahori nara. Basa fo Au o tititi-nonosi mara lao hela naa, ma rendi basa hata-heto nara.
14 Kodwa lesizwe abazasisebenzela ngizasigweba; lemva kwalokho bazaphuma lempahla enengi.
15 Kodwa wena uzakuya kuboyihlo ngokuthula, uzangcwatshwa ekuluphaleni okuhle.
16 Isizukulwana sesine sizabuya-ke lapha; ngoba isono samaAmori kasikapheleli.
Dei fo Au ulalao tititi-nonosi ka lima ma baliꞌ ia rema. Aleꞌ ia, atahori Amori ra leo sia rae ia. Atahori ia ra deꞌulakaꞌ, te nda feꞌe raseliꞌ sa. Mete ma umbu-ana mara baliꞌ ia rema, Au ae pake se fo hukun atahori Amori ra. Te leleꞌ naa, deꞌulaka nara raseliꞌ ena.”
17 Kwasekusithi ilanga selitshonile sekumnyama, khangela-ke, imbawula ethunqayo lesihlanti somlilo esadabula phakathi kwalezozingxenye.
Tetemba na aiboiꞌ ma, hura rae sa namasu, ma mbele sa mbila, raꞌaundaꞌ tungga sisi dala karuaꞌ ra taladꞌa na.
18 Ngalolosuku iNkosi yenza isivumelwano loAbrama isithi: Enzalweni yakho nginikele lelilizwe, kusukela emfuleni weGibhithe kuze kube semfuleni omkhulu, umfula iYufrathi,
Leleꞌ naa, LAMATUALAIN helu-fuli no Abram nae, “Au helu fee nusaꞌ ia neu tititi-nonosi mara, mia loe Masir, losa loe Efrat,
19 amaKeni lamaKenizi lamaKadimoni
ma atahori Keni, Kenas, Kadmon,
20 lamaHethi lamaPerizi lamaRefa
Het, Feris, Refaim,
21 lamaAmori lamaKhanani lamaGirigashi lamaJebusi.
Amori, Kanaꞌan, Girgasi, ma Yebus rae nara.”
