Abhuramu naRoti vanoparadzana

¹ Zvino Abhuramu wakakwira, akabva Ijipiti, iye nomukadzi wake, nezvose zvaakanga anazvo, naRotiwo anaye; vakaenda kurutivi rwenyasi.

² Abhuramu wakanga akapfuma kwazvo mombe, nesirivha, nendarama.

³ Akafamba nzendo dzake achibva nyasi kusvikira paBheteri, kunzvimbo iya kwaiva netende rake pakutanga, pakati peBheteri neAi;

⁴ kunzvimbo yeatari, yaakanga aitapo pakutanga; Abhuramu akanamata zita raJehovha ipapo.

⁵ NaRoti, iye wakaenda naAbhuramu, wakanga aine makwai, nemombe, namatende.

⁶ Nyika ikasavaringana, kuti vagare panzvimbo imwe; nokuti pfuma yavo yakanga iri zhinji; vakasagona kugara panzvimbo imwe.

⁷ Vafudzi vezvipfuwo zvaAbhuramu navafudzi vezvipfuwo zvaRoti vakaita nharo; vaKenani navaPerezi vakanga vagere panyika iyo.

⁸ Ipapo Abhuramu akati kuna Roti, “Nharo ngadzirege kuvapo pakati pangu newe, napakati pavafudzi vangu navafudzi vako, nokuti tiri hama.

⁹ Ko nyika yose haizi pamberi pako here? Paradzana hako neni; kana iwe ukaenda kuruboshwe, ini ndichaenda kurudyi; kana iwe ukaenda kurudyi ini ndichaenda kuruboshwe.”

¹⁰ Roti akasimudzira meso ake, akaona bani rose reJorodhani, kuti rakanga riine mvura pose, Jehovha achigere kuparadza Sodhomu neGomora; rakanga rakaita somunda waJehovha, senyika yeIjipiti, kana munhu achienda Zoari.

¹¹ Roti akazvitsaurira bani rose reJorodhani; Roti akaenda kurutivi rwamabvazuva; vakaparadzana havo.

¹² Abhuramu akagara panyika yeKenani, Roti akagara pamaguta aiva kubani, akaswededzera tende rake kusvikira paSodhomu.

¹³ Zvino varume veSodhomu vakanga vakaipa, vaitadzira Jehovha kwazvo-kwazvo.

¹⁴ Zvino Roti wakati aparadzana naye, Jehovha akati kuna Abhuramu, “Simudza hako meso ako ipapo paugere, utarire kurutivi rwokumusoro, norwenyasi, norwokumabvazuva, norwokumavirira;

¹⁵ nokuti nyika yose yaunoona, ndichaipa iwe navana vako nokusingaperi.

¹⁶ Ndichaita vana vako seguruva renyika; kuti kana kuine munhu anogona kuverenga guruva renyika, navana vako vangaverengwawo.

¹⁷ Simuka, ufambe nenyika pakureba kwayo, napaupamhi hwayo, nokuti ndichakupa iyo.”

¹⁸ Ipapo Abhuramu wakabvisa tende rake, akandogara pamiti yemiouki yeMamure, iri paHebhuroni, akavakirapo Jehovha atari.
