IGENESIS 12

Imbali ka-Abram: ukubizwa kwakhe nguThixo; uhambo lwakhe lokuya kwaKanan
1Ke kaloku uYehova wathi kuAbram, Hamba, umke ezweni lakowenu, kwelokuzalwa kwakho, nasendiwini kayihlo, uye ezweni endokubonisa lona; 2ndikwènze uhlanga olukhulu, ndikusikelele, ndilikhulise igama lakho, ube yintsikelelo; 3ndibasikèlele abakusikelelayo, ndimtshabhise okuqalekisayo; zisikeleleke ngawe zonke izizwe zehlabathi.
4Wahamba uAbram njengoko wathethayo uYehova kuye; wahamba naye uLote. UAbram ubeminyaka imashumi asixhenxe anamihlanu ezelwe, ukuphuma kwakhe kwelakwaHaran. 5UAbram wathabatha uSarayi umkakhe, noLote unyana womninawa wakhe, nengqwebo yabo yonke ababeyiqwebile, nabantu ababebafumene kwelakwaHaran; baphuma ke besiya ezweni lakwaKanan, bafika ke ezweni lakwaKanan. 6UAbram wacanda ilizwe, wada waya kwindawo enoShekem, wada waya eMokini• kaMore. AmaKanan abekho ngelo xesha kulo ilizwe. 7UYehova wabonakala kuAbram, wathi, Imbewu yakho ndiya kuyinika eli lizwe. Wamakhela khona isibingelelo uYehova, owabonakalayo kuye. 8Wesuka khona waya entabeni ngasempumalanga, eBheteli, wayitwabulula intente yakhe, iBheteli ingasentshonalanga, iAyi ingasempumalanga; wamakhela khona isibingelelo uYehova, wanqula igama likaYehova. 9Wanduluka uAbram, ehamba encothula, esinga kwelasezantsi.
UAbram eYiputa
10Kwabakho indlala ezweni. Wehla uAbraham waya eYiputa, ukuze aphambukele khona; ngokuba indlala ibinzima elizweni.
11Kwathi, akusondela ukuba angene eYiputa, wathi kuSarayi umkakhe, Uyabona ke, ndiyazi ukuba ungumfazi omhle imbonakalo. 12Kothi ke, akukubona amaYiputa, athi, Ngumkakhe lo; andibulale, akuyeke wena udle ubomi. 13Ùze uthi, ùngudade wethu wena; ukuze kulunge kum ngenxa yakho, umphefumlo wam udle ubomi ngenxa enawe.
14Kwathi, akufika uAbram eYiputa, ambona amaYiputa umfazi ukuba uyinzwakazi. 15Bambona abathetheli bakaFaro, bamdumisa kuFaro; umfazi wasiwa endlwini kaFaro. 16Wamphatha ngokulungileyo uAbram ngenxa yakhe; wanempahla emfutshane, neenkomo, namaesile, nabakhonzi, nabakhonzazana, neemazi zamaesile, neenkamela. 17UYehova wambetha uFaro nendlu yakhe ngezibetho ezikhulu ngenxa kaSarayi, umka-Abram. 18UFaro wambiza uAbram wathi, Yintoni na le uyenzileyo kum? Yini na ukuba ungandixeleli ukuba ngumkakho? 19Yini na ukuba uthi, ngudade wenu? Ndamthabatha ukuba abe ngumfazi wam. Ngoku ke nanko umkakho, mthabathe uhambe. 20UFaro wawawisela umthetho amadoda ngaye; amkhapha yena nomkakhe, nezinto zakhe zonke.
