1 USimakade wathi ku-Abhrama: “Phuma ezweni lakini, nasezihlotsheni zakho, nakwabendlu kayihlo, uye ezweni engizokukhombisa lona. 2 Ngizokwenza ube yisizwe esikhulu, ngikubusise, ngikunike udumo, wena ube yisibusiso. 3 Ngiyakubabusisa abakubusisayo, ngibaqalekise abakuqalekisayo. Yonke imindeni yomhlaba iyakubusiswa ngawe.”
4U-Abhrama wayeneminyaka engama-75 ngesikhathi eqala uhambo lwakhe njengalokhu uSimakade ayemtshelile; wahamba noLothi, balifulathela iHarana. 5 Wathatha umkakhe uSarayi, noLothi indodana yomfowabo, nayo yonke impahla ababenayo, nezinceku ababezitholile eHarana, babhekisa amabombo eKhanani.
Ukufika Kuka-Abhrama EKhanani
Sebefikile eKhanani, 6 u-Abhrama wadabula kulo waze wafika eShekhemu nasemu-okhini eMore. Ngaleso sikhathi kulelo lizwe kwakusakhe amaKhanani. 7 USimakade wazibonakalisa ku-Abhrama, wathi: “Leli lizwe ngiyolinika isizukulwane sakho.”
U-Abhrama wayesakha lapho i-althare likaSimakade owayezibonakalise kuye.
8 Wasuka lapho waya kwelezintaba empumalanga yeBhethele, wagxumeka ithende lakhe lapho. IBhethele yayingasentshonalanga, i-Ayi ingasempumalanga. Kulapho-ke akhela khona uSimakade i-althare, wakhuleka egameni likaSimakade. 9 Wayesekhukhula njalo waze wayofika eningizimu.
U-Abhrama UseGibhithe
10Kwase kuhlasela indlala eKhanani, u-Abhrama wayesehlela eGibhithe ukuyogogobala khona, ngokuba indlala yayidlangile ezweni lakubo. 11 Kuthe lapho sebezongena eGibhithe wayesethi kumkakhe uSarayi: “Ngazi kahle ukuthi ungowesifazane omuhle kakhulu. 12 Kuyothi uma amaGibhithe ekubona athi: ‘Ngumkakhe lo.’ Bese mina engibulala, kodwa wena akuyeke uphile. 13 Ubowatshela ukuthi ungudadewethu, khona ezongiphatha kahle ukuze ngisinde ngenxa yakho.”
14Ekufikeni kuka-Abhrama eGibhithe, amaGibhithe ambona owesifazane ukuthi muhle ngokwedlulele. 15 Izikhulu zikaFaro nazo zambona zamncoma kuFaro, wayeselethwa esigodlweni sakhe. 16 UFaro wamphatha kahle u-Abhrama ngenxa yomkakhe, wamxoshisa ngezimvu, izinkomo, izimbongolo, amakameli, izinceku nezincekukazi.
17 USimakade washaya uFaro nabendlu yakhe ngobhubhane ngenxa kaSarayi umka-Abhrama. 18 UFaro wayesebiza u-Abhrama wathi kuye: “Yini le nto oyenze kimi na? Awungitshelanga ngani ukuthi ungumkakho na? 19Usholoni ukuthi ungudadewenu ngaze ngamthatha ukuba abe ngumkami na? Manje-ke nangu umkakho. Mthathe uhambe.”
20UFaro wayeseyaleza abantu bakhe ukuba babakhombe indlela ababeze ngayo o-Abhrama nomkakhe nakho konke ayenakho.
