Kwathi, uAbram akuba minyaka imashumi asibhozo anamnye ezelwe, uYehova wabonakala kuAbram, wathi kuye, NdinguThixo uSomandla; hamba ecaleni kwam, ube ngogqibeleleyo.

Akuyi kuba sathiwa igama lakho nguAbram; ngokuba ndikwenze uyise wezizwe ezininzi.

Ndowumisa umnqophiso wam phakathi kwam nawe nenzala yakho emva kwakho kwizizukulwana zayo, ube ngumnqophiso wexesha elingenammiselo, wokuba ndibe nguThixo wakho nenzala yakho eya emva kwakho.

Mna, yabona, umnqophiso wam unawe; uya kuba nguyise weentlanga ezininzi.

Wathi uThixo, Ewe, uSara umkakho uya kukuzalela unyana; umthiye igama elinguIsake, ndiwumise umnqophiso wam naye, ube ngumnqophiso ongunaphakade kwimbewu yakhe emva kwakhe.

Yaye ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kukunika ilizwe ohlala kulo wena nenzala yakho emva kwakho, ilizwe lakwaKanan lonke, libe lilifa lakho ukusa kwixesha elingenammiselo; ndibe nguThixo wabo.

Ngoko uAbraham wawa ngobuso bakhe waza wahleka waza wathi entliziyweni yakhe: “Ngaba umntwana unokuzalwa aneminyaka elikhulu ubudala na? uSara, ominyaka imashumi asibhozo ezelwe, uya kuzala yedwa na?

Wathi uThixo kuAbraham, uSarayi umkakho ungambiza ngokuba nguSarayi; igama lakhe loba nguSara.

Walusa inyama yokwaluswa; ibe ngumqondiso womnqophiso ophakathi kwam nani.

Ndowumisa umnqophiso wam noIsake, oya kuzala uSara ngeli xesha nyakenye.

Unyana omihla isibhozo kuni mawaluswe, yonke into eyindoda emizalwaneni yenu, ezelwe endlwini, nezuzwe ngemali kubani wasemzini, ongengowakho koonyana bakho. Makaluswe ozelwe endlwini yakho, nozuzwe ngemali yakho; umnqophiso wam enyameni yenu uya kuba ngumnqophiso ongunaphakade.
