Choncho Abimeleki anamuyitanitsa Isake nati, “Uyu ndi mkazi wako ndithu! Nanga bwanji umati, ‘Ndi mlongo wanga’?” Ndipo Isake anamuyankha kuti, “Ine ndimaganiza kuti ndingataye moyo wanga chifukwa cha iyeyu.”
10 Ipapo Abhimereki akati, “Chiiko ichi chawakaita kwatiri? Mumwe wavarume aigona kunge akavata nomukadzi wako, uye ungadai wakazouyisa mhosva pamusoro pedu.”
Tsono Abimeleki anati, “Nʼchiyani chimene watichitira? Mmodzi mwa anthuwa anatsala pangʼono kugona ndi mkazi wako ndipo ukanatisandutsa ife kukhala olakwa.”
11 Saka Abhimereki akarayira vanhu vake vose achiti, “Ani naani anobata murume uyu kana mukadzi wake achaurayiwa zvirokwazvo.”
Choncho Abimeleki analamula anthu ake onse nati, “Aliyense amene avutitse munthu uyu pamodzi ndi mkazi wake adzaphedwa ndithu.”

Nthawi iyi nʼkuti Afilisti atakwirira ndi dothi zitsime zonse zimene antchito abambo ake Abrahamu anakumba mu nthawi ya abambo akewo.
16 Ipapo Abhimereki akati kuna Isaka, “Ibva uende kure nesu; wanyanya kuva nesimba zvokutipfuura.”
Ndipo Abimeleki anati kwa Isake, “Muchoke pakati pathu chifukwa mwasanduka wamphamvu kuposa ife.”
17 Saka Isaka akabvapo akandodzika musasa muMupata weGera akagara ikoko.
Choncho Isake anachokako kumeneko nakakhala ku chigwa cha Gerari kumene anakhazikikako.
