UGenesise 15 UNkulunkulu wenza isivumelwano no-Abrama

¹ Emva kwalokho kwafika izwi likaJehova ku-Abrama ngombono, lathi: “Ungesabi, Abrama, ngiyisihlangu sakho, nomvuzo wakho mkhulu kakhulu;

² Wayesethi u-Abrama: “Nkosi Jehova, uyakunginikani, lokhu ngingenamntwana, nomphathi wendlu yami ngu-Eliyezeri waseDamaseku na?

³ Wayesethi u-Abrama: “Bheka, awunginikanga nzalo; bheka, ozelwe endlini yami uyakuba yindlalifa yami.”

⁴ Futhi bheka, izwi leNkosi lafika kuye, lathi: Lo akayikuba yindlalifa yakho; kodwa oyakuphuma ezibilinini zakho uyakuba yindlalifa yakho.

⁵ Wamkhiphela ngaphandle, wathi: “Bheka isibhakabhaka, ubale izinkanyezi, uma ungazibala; wathi kuye: Iyakuba njalo inzalo yakho.

⁶ Wakholwa yiNkosi; wambalela lokho njengokulunga.

⁷ Wathi kuye: NginguJehova owakukhipha e-Uri lamaKaledi ukuba ngikunike leli zwe ukuba ulidle.

⁸ Wathi: “Nkosi Nkosi, ngiyakwazi ngani ukuthi ngiyakulidla na?”

⁹ Wathi kuye: “Ngithathele ithokazi elineminyaka emithathu, nethokazi elineminyaka emithathu, nenqama eneminyaka emithathu, nehobhe, nephuphu lejuba.”

¹⁰ Wakuthatha konke, wakudabula phakathi, wabeka ucezu lwalo lwabhekene nolunye, kepha izinyoni akazidabulanga.

¹¹ Izinyoni zafika phezu kwezidumbu, u-Abrama wazixosha.

¹² Kwathi selishona ilanga ubuthongo obunzima bamehlela u-Abrama; bheka, wehlelwa yingebhe yobumnyama obukhulu.

¹³ Wathi ku-Abrama: “Yazi nokwazi ukuthi inzalo yakho iyakuba ngabafokazi ezweni elingesilo elayo, ibakhonze; bayakubacindezela iminyaka engamakhulu amane;

¹⁴ Futhi futhi leso sizwe abayosikhonza, ngizosahlulela; futhi emva kwalokho bayophuma nezinto ezinkulu.

¹⁵ Kumelwe uye koyihlo ngokuthula; uzongcwatshwa usumdala.

¹⁶ Kodwa esizukulwaneni sesine ziyakubuyela lapha, ngokuba ububi bama-Amori abukapheleli.

¹⁷ Futhi kwenzeka ukuthi, lapho ilanga selishonile futhi kuba mnyama, kwakukhona isithando somlilo esivuthayo nesibani esivuthayo sidlula phakathi kwalezo zicucu.

¹⁸ Ngalolo suku uJehova wenza isivumelwano no-Abrama, wathi: “Inzalo yakho ngiyinike leli zwe, kusukela emfuleni waseGibhithe kuze kufike emfuleni omkhulu, umfula u-Ewufrathe.
