iGenesis 26
uIsake wenza umnqophiso noAbhimeleki
1Kwabakho indlala ehlabathini, ngaphandle kweyokuqala indlala eyabakho ngexesha lika-Abraham. Waya uIsake eGerare, kuAbhimeleki, ukumkani wamaFilisti. 2uYehova wabonakala kuye, wathi, Musa ukuhla uye eYiputa; hlala ezweni endiya kukuxelela lona. 3Hlala ungumphambukeli kweli lizwe; ndoba nawe, ndikusikelele; ngokuba ndiya kukunika wena nembewu yakho onke la mazwe, ndisimise isifungo endasifungayo kuAbraham uyihlo; 4ndiya kuyandisa ndiyandise imbewu yakho njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, ndinike imbewu yakho onke la mazwe; zisikeleleke ngembewu yakho zonke iintlanga zehlabathi; 5Ngenxa yokuba uAbraham waliphulaphula ilizwi lam waza wawugcina umyalelo wam, imiyalelo yam, imimiselo yam nemithetho yam. 6uIsake wakha iGerare. 7Ambuza amadoda aloo ndawo ngomkakhe; Wathi, Ngudade wethu, ngokuba ebesoyika ukuthi, Ngumkam; Wathi, Mandingandibulali amadoda aloo ndawo ngenxa kaRebheka; ngokuba ebemhle imbonakalo. 8Kwakuba kudala ekhona, uAbhimeleki ukumkani wamaFilisti, wakroba ngefestile, wabona uIsake edlala noRebheka, umkakhe. 9uAbhimeleki wambiza uIsake, wathi, Yabona, ngumkakho ngokwenene; kwaye utheni na: Ngudade wethu? Wathi uIsake kuye, Kungokuba ndithe, Andiyi kufa ngenxa yakhe. 10Wathi uAbhimeleki: “Yintoni le uyenzileyo kuthi? omnye wabantu ebenokulala nomkakho lula, ubuzosigxeka. 11uAbhimeleki wabawisela umthetho abantu bakhe bonke, wathi, Othe wayichukumisa le ndoda nomkayo, wobulawa afe. 12uIsake wahlwayela kwelo zwe, wazuza kalikhulu ngaloo mnyaka; uYehova wamsikelela. 13Indoda leyo yaqhubeka ikhula, ikhula, ikhula de yaba mdala kakhulu. 14Ngokuba ubenemfuyo yempahla emfutshane, neenkomo, nabakhonzi abaninzi, ammonela amaFilisti. 15Ngenxa yokuba onke amaqula ababewamba abakhonzi bakayise ngemihla ka-Abraham uyise, amaFilisti awavala aza awazalisa ngomhlaba. 16Wathi uAbhimeleki kuIsake, Suka kuthi; ngokuba womelele kunathi. 17Wemka apho uIsake, wamisa intente yakhe kwintlambo yaseGerare, wahlala khona. 18Wabuya uIsake wawamba amaqula, ababewambile ngemihla ka-Abraham uyise; ngenxa yokuba amaFilisti abalela emva kokufa kuka-Abraham, waza wawabiza ngamagama uyise awayewabize ngamagama. 19Bemba abakhonzi bakaIsake esihlanjeni somlambo, bafumana iqula khona, linomthombo khona. 20Abalusi baseGerare babambana nabalusi bakaIsake, besithi, Ngawethu la manzi; Wathi iqula elo yiEseke; ngokuba babambene naye. 21Bemba elinye iqula, baphikisana ngalo, wathi igama lalo yiSitna. 22Wemka khona, wemba elinye iqula; kwaye ke ngoko abazange baxabane; wathi ukuyibiza yiRehobhoti; wathi: Kungenxa yokuba ngoku uYehova usenzele indawo, yaye siya kusasazeka ehlabathini. 23Wemka khona, waya eBher-shebha. 24uYehova wabonakala kuye ngobo busuku, wathi, NdinguThixo ka-Abraham uyihlo; musa ukoyika, ngokuba ndinawe; ndiya kukusikelela, ndiyandise imbewu yakho, ngenxa ka-Abraham umkhonzi wam. 25Wakha khona isibingelelo, walithandaza igama likaYehova, wayimisa khona intente yakhe; bemba iqula khona abakhonzi bakaIsake. 26Emva koko uAbhimeleki weza kuye, evela eGerare, ehamba noAhusati umhlobo wakhe, noPikoli umthetheli womkhosi wakhe. 27Wathi uIsake kubo, Nize ngani na kum, nandithiya nje, nandigxotha nje kuni? 28Bathi ke bona: “Sibonile ngokwenene ukuba uYehova unawe; sathi, Makubekho isifungo phakathi kwethu nawe, senze umnqophiso nawe; 29ukuze ungasenzakalisi, ngenxa yokuba asizange sikuchukumise, yaye sikwenzele okulungileyo, sikukhokele ngoxolo; ngoku niyintsikelelo kaYehova. 30Wabenzela isidlo, badla, basela; 31Bavuka kusasa, bafungelana; uIsake wabandulula, bamshiya enoxolo. 32Beza abakhonzi bakaIsake kwangaloo mini, bamxelela indawo yequla ababelimbile, bathi kuye, Siwafumene amanzi. 33Wathi ukuyibiza yiSebha; ngenxa yoko igama laloo mzi liyiBher-shebha unanamhla. 34uEsawu ebeminyaka imashumi mane ezelwe, ukuzeka kwakhe uYuditi intombi kaBheri, umHeti, noBhasemati intombi kaElon, umHeti. 35Kwaba buhlungu ngoIsake noRebheka.
