Akuba mashumi asithoba anethoba ubudala uAbram, wabonakala kuye *uNdikhoyo, wathi: “Mna ndinguThixo uSomandla. Uze undithobele, uhlale ungasoleki.

Akusayi kuthiwa Abram kuwe; uya kuba nguAbraham, kuba uza kuba ngukhokho wezizwe ngezizwe.

“Andiyi kuwujika umnqophiso wam endiwenze nawe kunye nenzala yakho; uya kuhlala uhleli. Ndoba nguThixo wakho nenzala yakho.

“Ndikunika lo mnqophiso; ndithi uya kuba ngukhokho wezizwe ezininzi.

Uthe uThixo: “Hayi, uSara umkakho uza kuzala inkwenkwe. Uzuthi nguIsake igama layo. Umnqophiso wam ndowugcina kuye nakwinzala yakhe ngalo lonke ixesha, ingumnqophiso ongayi kujika nanini na.

Lo mhlaba ungumfiki kuwo, ndiza kukunika wona uwume kunye nenzala yakho. Wonke umhlaba waseKanana uya kumiwa yinzala yakho ngalo lonke ixesha, mna ndibe nguThixo wabo.”

Waqubuda uAbraham, waya kuthi ngqu ngobuso phantsi. Wasuka waphela yintsini akucinga ukuba umntu onekhulu leminyaka angazala umntwana. Yena uSara enamashumi alithoba nje, angamfumana umntwana?

Uqhube wathi uThixo kuAbraham: “Uze ungabuye uthi Sarayi kumkakho, yithi Sara.

Ukususela ngoku wonke umntwana oyinkwenkwe kufuneka aluke eneentsuku ezisibhozo ubudala; nditsho nkqu nezicaka ezizalelwe phantsi kwakho kwanezo zingeneleleyo. Lowo ke uya kuba ngumqondiso womnqophiso phakathi kwakho nam.

Kodwa wona umnqophiso wam ndiya kuwugcinela unyana wakho uIsake, oya kuzalwa nguSara malunga neli xesha kunyaka ozayo.”

Ukususela ngoku wonke umntwana oyinkwenkwe kufuneka aluke eneentsuku ezisibhozo ubudala; nditsho nkqu nezicaka ezizalelwe phantsi kwakho kwanezo zingeneleleyo. Lowo ke uya kuba ngumqondiso womnqophiso phakathi kwakho nam. Makwaluke wonke umntu, oyinzalelwane kwanothengiweyo, ube ngumqondiso obonakalayo lowo wokuba umnqophiso wam nawe awusoze uphele.
