UGenesise 15
UNkulunkulu wenza isivumelwano no-Abrama
1Emva kwalokho kwafika izwi likaJehova ku-Abrama ngombono, lathi: “Ungesabi, Abrama, ngiyisihlangu sakho, nomvuzo wakho mkhulu kakhulu;
2Wayesethi u-Abrama: “Nkosi Jehova, uyakunginikani, lokhu ngingenamntwana, nomphathi wendlu yami ngu-Eliyezeri waseDamaseku na?
3Wayesethi u-Abrama: “Bheka, awunginikanga nzalo; bheka, ozelwe endlini yami uyakuba yindlalifa yami.”
4Futhi bheka, izwi leNkosi lafika kuye, lathi: Lo akayikuba yindlalifa yakho; kodwa oyakuphuma ezibilinini zakho uyakuba yindlalifa yakho.
5Wamkhiphela ngaphandle, wathi: “Bheka isibhakabhaka, ubale izinkanyezi, uma ungazibala; wathi kuye: Iyakuba njalo inzalo yakho.
6Wakholwa yiNkosi; wambalela lokho njengokulunga.
7Wathi kuye: NginguJehova owakukhipha e-Uri lamaKaledi ukuba ngikunike leli zwe ukuba ulidle.
8Wathi: “Nkosi Nkosi, ngiyakwazi ngani ukuthi ngiyakulidla na?”
9Wathi kuye: “Ngithathele ithokazi elineminyaka emithathu, nethokazi elineminyaka emithathu, nenqama eneminyaka emithathu, nehobhe, nephuphu lejuba.”
10Wakuthatha konke, wakudabula phakathi, wabeka ucezu lwalo lwabhekene nolunye, kepha izinyoni akazidabulanga.
11Izinyoni zafika phezu kwezidumbu, u-Abrama wazixosha.
12Kwathi selishona ilanga ubuthongo obunzima bamehlela u-Abrama; bheka, wehlelwa yingebhe yobumnyama obukhulu.
13Wathi ku-Abrama: “Yazi nokwazi ukuthi inzalo yakho iyakuba ngabafokazi ezweni elingesilo elayo, ibakhonze; bayakubacindezela iminyaka engamakhulu amane;
14Futhi futhi leso sizwe abayosikhonza, ngizosahlulela; futhi emva kwalokho bayophuma nezinto ezinkulu.
15Kumelwe uye koyihlo ngokuthula; uzongcwatshwa usumdala.
16Kodwa esizukulwaneni sesine ziyakubuyela lapha, ngokuba ububi bama-Amori abukapheleli.
17Futhi kwenzeka ukuthi, lapho ilanga selishonile futhi kuba mnyama, kwakukhona isithando somlilo esivuthayo nesibani esivuthayo sidlula phakathi kwalezo zicucu.
18Ngalolo suku uJehova wenza isivumelwano no-Abrama, wathi: “Inzalo yakho ngiyinike leli zwe, kusukela emfuleni waseGibhithe kuze kufike emfuleni omkhulu, umfula u-Ewufrathe.
19AmaKheni namaKheni namaKadimoni,
