UGenesise 20
U-Abrahama uthi uSara akayena umkakhe kodwa udadewabo
1U-Abrahama wasuka lapho waya ezweni laseningizimu, wakha phakathi kweKadeshi neSuri, wagogobala eGerari.
2U-Abrahama wathi ngoSara umkakhe: “Ungudadewethu; u-Abimeleki inkosi yaseGerari wathumela wamthatha uSara.
3Kepha uNkulunkulu weza ku-Abimeleki ngephupho ebusuku, wathi kuye: “Bheka, ungofileyo ngenxa yowesifazane omthathileyo; ngoba ungumfazi womuntu.
4U-Abimeleki akasondelanga kuye, wathi: “Nkosi, uyathanda ukubulala nawe isizwe esilungileyo na?
5Akashongo yini kimi ukuthi: “Ungudadewethu na?” yena wathi: “Ungumfowethu; ngobuqotho benhliziyo yami nangobumsulwa bezandla zami ngikwenzile lokhu.
6UNkulunkulu wathi kuye ngephupho: Yebo, ngiyazi ukuthi ukwenzile lokhu ngobuqotho benhliziyo yakho; ngokuba nami nganivimbela ukuba ningoni kimi; ngalokho ngakuvumela ukuba ungamthinti.
7Manje buyisela indoda leyo umkayo; ngokuba ungumprofethi, uyakunikhulekela, niphile.
8U-Abimeleki wavuka ekuseni kakhulu, wabiza zonke izinceku zakhe, wakhuluma zonke lezi zinto ezindlebeni zazo; abantu besaba kakhulu.
9U-Abimeleki wayesembiza u-Abrahama, wathi kuye: “Wenzeni kithi na? futhi ngone ngani ukuba ulethe isono esikhulu phezu kwami naphezu kombuso wami na? Ungenzele izinto okungafanele zenziwe.
10U-Abimeleki wayesethi ku-Abrahama: “Uboneni ukuba wenze le nto na?
11Wayesethi u-Abrahama: “Ngokuba ngithe: Impela ukumesaba uNkulunkulu akukho kule ndawo; futhi bazongibulala ngenxa yomkami.
12Nokho ungudadewethu ngempela; uyindodakazi kababa, kodwa akasiyo indodakazi kamame; waba ngumkami.
13UNkulunkulu wangidukisa endlini kababa, ngathi kuye: Kungumusa wakho ukuba ungenzele wona; ezindaweni zonke esifika kuzo, anothi ngami: Ungumfowethu.
14U-Abimeleki wathatha izimvu, nezinkomo, nezinceku, nezincekukazi, wakunika u-Abrahama, wambuyisela uSara umkakhe kuye.
15Wayesethi u-Abimeleki: “Bheka, izwe lami liphambi kwakho; hlala lapho uthanda khona.
16Wathi kuSara: “Bheka, ngimnikile umnewenu amashekeli ayinkulungwane esiliva; bheka, uyisigubuzelo samehlo kuwe, kubo bonke abanawe nakubo bonke abanye; ngakho wakhuzwa.
17U-Abrahama wakhuleka kuNkulunkulu; uNkulunkulu wamphulukisa u-Abimeleki, nomkakhe, nezincekukazi zakhe; futhi bazala abantwana.
18Ngokuba uJehova wazivalela zonke izizalo zendlu ka-Abimeleki ngenxa kaSara umka-Abrahama.
