UGenesisi 17
1 Kwathi uAbrama eseleminyaka engamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lesificamunwemunye iNkosi yasibonakala kuAbrama, yathi kuye: NginguNkulunkulu uSomandla; hamba phambi kwami, uphelele.
Esi Abram xɔ ƒe blaasiekɛ-vɔ-asiekɛ la, Yehowa ɖe eɖokui fiae gblɔ nɛ be, “Nyee nye Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la. Ɖo tom, eye nànɔ agbe abe ale si dze ene.
2 Njalo ngizakwenza isivumelwano sami phakathi kwami lawe, ngizakwandisa kakhulukazi.
Maɖo kpe nubabla si le nye kpli wò dome la dzi, eye miadzi ɖe edzi fũu.”
3 UAbrama wasesiwa ngobuso bakhe, uNkulunkulu wasekhuluma laye, esithi:
Abram tsyɔ mo anyi, eye Mawu gblɔ nɛ be,
4 Mina ngokwami, khangela, isivumelwano sami silawe; futhi uzakuba nguyise wezizwe ezinengi.
“Nye la, esiae nye nye nubabla kpli wò: ànye dukɔ geɖewo fofo.”
5 Lebizo lakho kalisayikubizwa ngokuthi Abrama, kodwa ibizo lakho lizakuba nguAbrahama, ngoba ngikwenze uyise wexuku lezizwe.
Mawu yi edzi be, “Wò ŋkɔ maganye Abram o, ke boŋ ezu Abraham, elabena meɖo wò dukɔ geɖewo fofoe.
6 Ngizakwenza uzale kakhulukazi, ngizakwenza izizwe, lamakhosi azaphuma kuwe.
Mana dzidzimevi akpe akpewo wò, eye woazu dukɔ geɖewo! Fiawo anɔ wò dzidzimeviwo dome!
7 Njalo ngizamisa isivumelwano sami phakathi kwami lawe lenzalo yakho emva kwakho ezizukulwaneni zayo, kube yisivumelwano esilaphakade, sokuthi ngibe nguNkulunkulu kuwe lakuyo inzalo yakho emva kwakho.
“Mana nye nubabla nazu nubabla mavɔ le nye kpli wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo dome hena dzidzime siwo gbɔna la, be manye wò Mawu kple Mawu na wò dzidzimeviwo.
8 Ngizanika-ke wena lenzalo yakho emva kwakho ilizwe ohlala kilo njengowezizwe, ilizwe lonke leKhanani, libe yimfuyo elaphakade; njalo ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu kibo.
Kanaanyigba blibo la, afi si nèle fifia abe amedzro ene la, matsɔe na wò wòanye tɔwò kple wò dzidzimeviwo tɔ tegbetegbe, eye manye woƒe Mawu.”
9 UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuAbrahama: Wena-ke uzagcina isivumelwano sami, wena lenzalo yakho emva kwakho ezizukulwaneni zayo.
Eye Mawu gblɔ na Abraham be, “Ele na wò be nàlé nye nubabla me ɖe asi, wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo le dzidzime siwo ava la me.
10 Lesi yisivumelwano sami elizasigcina phakathi kwami lani lenzalo yakho emva kwakho; sonke isilisa sisokwe kini.
Esia nye nye nubabla kpli wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo, nubabla si mialé be na le mia dome lae nye be: Woatso aʋa na ŋutsu sia ŋutsu le mia dome.
11 Lizasoka inyama yejwabu lenu laphambili; kuzakuba yisibonakaliso sesivumelwano phakathi kwami lani.
Woaɖe miaƒe aʋanuyiwo ɖa. Esia anye dzesi be wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo siaa miexɔ nubabla sia.
12 Lendodana yensuku eziyisificaminwembili izasokwa phakathi kwenu, sonke isilisa ezizukulwaneni zenu, ozelwe endlini, lothengwe ngemali kuye wonke oyisizwe, ongayisuye wenzalo yakho.
Woatso aʋa na ŋutsuvi ɖe sia ɖe le gbe si gbe wodzii la ƒe ŋkeke enyia gbe. Woatso aʋa na wò kluvi siwo nèƒle kple ga alo wo ƒe viwo kple wò ŋutɔ wò dzidzimeviwo siaa. Esia nye nubabla ƒe akpa si anɔ anyi tegbee, eye wòanye dɔdeasi na wò dzidzimeviwo katã.
13 Ozelwe endlini yakho lothengwe ngemali yakho kumele asokwe. Lesivumelwano sami sizakuba senyameni yenu, sibe yisivumelwano esilaphakade.
Ele be woatso aʋa na ame sia ame. Ele be woato mɔ sia nu ade dzesi miaƒe ŋutilã be mianye gomekpɔlawo le nye nubabla mavɔ la me.
14 Lesilisa esingasokwanga, esinyama yejwabu laphambili lingasokwanga, lowomphefumulo uzaqunywa usuke esizweni sawo, weqile isivumelwano sami.
Woaɖe ame sia ame si metso aʋa o la ɖa le eƒe ƒometɔwo dome, elabena mewɔ nye nubabla la dzi o.”
15 UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuAbrahama: NgoSarayi umkakho, ungabizi ibizo lakhe uthi nguSarayi, ngoba uSara libizo lakhe.
Mawu yi edzi gblɔ na Abraham be, “Womagayɔ srɔ̃wò be Sarai o, ke boŋ woayɔe azɔ be, ‘Sara’ si gɔmee nye ‘Fiavinyɔnu.’
16 Njalo ngizambusisa, ngikunike indodana evela lakuye; yebo ngizambusisa abesesiba yizizwe, amakhosi ezizwe azavela kuye.
Mayrae, eye mana wòadzi ŋutsuvi na wò! Ɛ̃, makɔ yayra geɖe ɖe edzi, eye mana wòazu dukɔ geɖewo dada! Fia geɖewo anɔ miaƒe dzidzimeviwo dome.”
17 UAbrahama wasesiwa ngobuso bakhe, wahleka, wathi enhliziyweni yakhe: Oleminyaka elikhulu uzazalelwa yini? Kambe loSara oleminyaka engamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye uzazala?
Esi Abraham se nya siawo la, etsyɔ mo anyi ɖe Yehowa ŋkume. Eko nu le eɖokui me le dzimaxɔse ta, hebia eɖokui be, “Ɖe nye ame si xɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka la, magate ŋu azu fofo, eye Sara ame si xɔ ƒe blaasiekɛ la agate ŋu adzi via?”
18 UAbrahama wasesithi kuNkulunkulu: Kungathi uIshmayeli angaphila phambi kwakho!
Abraham gblɔ na Mawu be, “Meɖe kuku, yra Ismael nam ko!”
19 UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Hatshi, uSara umkakho uzakuzalela indodana; uzayitha ibizo uthi nguIsaka; njalo ngizamisa isivumelwano sami laye, sibe yisivumelwano esilaphakade kunzalo yakhe emva kwakhe.
Mawu ɖo eŋu be, “Ao, menye nenemae megblɔ o. Sara adzi ŋutsuvi na wò, eye miana ŋkɔe be, Isak si gɔmee nye ‘Nukoko.’ Mabla nu kple eya kple eƒe dzidzimeviwo tegbetegbe.
20 Mayelana loIshmayeli ngikuzwile-ke; khangela, ngimbusisile, njalo ngizamenza abe lenzalo, ngimandise kakhulukazi; uzazala iziphathamandla ezilitshumi lambili, njalo ngizamenza isizwe esikhulu.
Melɔ̃ be mayra Ismael hã abe ale si nèbiae ene. Mana wòadzi asɔ gbɔ, eye wòazu dukɔ gã aɖe. Fiavi ŋutsuvi wuieve anɔ eƒe dzidzimeviwo dome.
21 Kodwa isivumelwano sami ngizasimisa loIsaka, uSara azakuzalela yena ngalesisikhathi esimisiweyo ngomnyaka ozayo.
Ke nye nubabla le nye kple Isak dome, ame si Sara adzi na wò le ƒe si gbɔna la ƒe ɣe aleawo ɣi.”
22 Wasecina ukukhuluma laye, uNkulunkulu wenyuka esuka kuAbrahama.
Ale Abraham kple Mawu ƒe dzeɖoɖo wu enu, eye Mawu dzo.
23 UAbrahama wasethatha uIshmayeli indodana yakhe labo bonke ababezelwe endlini yakhe labo bonke ababethengwe ngemali yakhe, sonke isilisa phakathi kwabendlu kaAbrahama, wasoka inyama yejwabu labo laphambili, ngalona lolosuku, njengalokho uNkulunkulu akutshoyo kuye.
Gbe ma gbe ke la, Abraham tso aʋa na via, Ismael kple ŋutsuvi bubu ɖe sia ɖe si wodzi ɖe eƒe aƒe me alo ƒle kple ga va eƒe aƒe me abe ale si Mawu ɖo nɛ ene.
24 LoAbrahama wayeleminyaka engamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lesificamunwemunye ekusokweni kwakhe inyama yejwabu lakhe laphambili.
Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, Abraham xɔ ƒe blaasiekɛ-vɔ-asiekɛ hafi wotso aʋa nɛ,
25 UIshmayeli-ke indodana yakhe wayeleminyaka elitshumi lantathu ekusokweni kwakhe inyama yejwabu lakhe laphambili.
eye Via ŋutsuvi, Ismael, xɔ ƒe wuietɔ̃ hafi wotso aʋa nɛ.
26 Ngalona lolosuku uAbrahama wasokwa, loIshmayeli indodana yakhe.
Wotso aʋa na Abraham kple Via ŋutsuvi, Ismael, le ŋkeke ɖeka ma dzi.
27 Lamadoda wonke omuzi wakhe, ayezelwe endlini layethengwe ngemali kowezizwe, asokwa kanye laye.
Eye wotso aʋa na ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe le Abraham ƒe aƒe me, ame si wodzi le eƒe aƒe me kple kluvi si woƒle le amedzro aɖe si siaa.
