iGenesis 17:1-8

Kwathi, uAbram akuba minyaka imashumi asibhozo anamnye ezelwe, uYehova wabonakala kuAbram, wathi kuye, NdinguThixo uSomandla; hamba ecaleni kwam, ube ngogqibeleleyo. Ndiya kuwubeka umnqophiso wam phakathi kwam nawe, ndikwandise kakhulu. Wawa uAbram ngobuso bakhe, wathetha uYehova kuye, esithi, Mna, yabona, umnqophiso wam unawe; uya kuba nguyise weentlanga ezininzi. Akuyi kuba sathiwa igama lakho nguAbram; ngokuba ndikwenze uyise wezizwe ezininzi. Ndiya kukuphumelelisa kakhulu, ndikwenze iintlanga, kuphume ookumkani kuwe; 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. Yaye ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kukunika ilizwe ohlala kulo wena nenzala yakho emva kwakho, ilizwe lakwaKanan lonke, libe lilifa lakho ukusa kwixesha elingenammiselo; ndibe nguThixo wabo.
