UGenesise 22 UNkulunkulu tshela u-Abrahama thatha indodana yakho uye ezweni laseMoriya

¹ Emva kwalokho uNkulunkulu wamlinga u-Abrahama, wathi kuye: “Abrahama! wathi: “Bheka, ngilapha.”

² Wathi: “Manje thatha indodana yakho, indodana yakho eyodwa, u-Isaka, oyithandayo, uye ezweni laseMoriya; umnikele khona abe ngumnikelo wokushiswa kwenye yezintaba engizakukutshela khona.

³ U-Abrahama wavuka ekuseni kakhulu, wabophela imbongolo yakhe, wathatha ezimbili zezinsizwa zakhe no-Isaka indodana yakhe kanye naye, wacanda izinkuni zomnikelo wokushiswa, wasuka waya endaweni uNkulunkulu ayemtshele ngayo.

⁴ Kwathi ngosuku lwesithathu u-Abrahama waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wayibona leyo ndawo isekude.

⁵ U-Abrahama wathi ezinsizweni: “Hlalani lapha nembongolo; mina nomfana sizoya khona siyokhonza bese sibuyela kini.

⁶ U-Abrahama wathatha izinkuni zomnikelo wokushiswa, wazibeka phezu kuka-Isaka indodana yakhe; wathatha umlilo ngesandla sakhe nommese; bahamba bobabili kanyekanye.

⁷ U-Isaka wakhuluma ku-Abrahama uyise, wathi: “Baba.” Nansi-ke ndodana yami. Wathi: “Nango umlilo nezinkuni, kepha liphi iwundlu lomnikelo wokushiswa na?”

⁸ Wayesethi u-Abrahama: “Ndodana yami, uNkulunkulu uyakuzilungisela iwundlu libe ngumnikelo wokushiswa; bahamba bobabili kanyekanye.

⁹ Bafika endaweni uNkulunkulu abemtshele yona; u-Abrahama wakha khona i-altare, walungisa izinkuni, wabopha u-Isaka indodana yakhe, wambeka e-altare phezu kwezinkuni.

¹⁰ U-Abrahama welula isandla sakhe, wathatha ummese ukuba abulale indodana yakhe.

¹¹ Ingelosi kaJehova yamemeza kuye isezulwini, yathi: “Abrahama, Abrahama! wathi: “Ngilapha.”

¹² Wathi: “Ungabeki isandla sakho kumfana, ungenzi lutho kuye, ngokuba ngiyazi manje ukuthi uyamesaba uNkulunkulu, lokhu ungagodlelanga kimi indodana yakho eyodwa.”

¹³ U-Abrahama waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wabheka, nanko inqama ibanjwe emva kwakhe esihlahleni ngezimpondo zayo; u-Abrahama waya wayithatha inqama, wanikela ngayo ibe ngumnikelo wokushiswa esikhundleni sendodana yakhe.

¹⁴ U-Abrahama waqamba leyo ndawo ngokuthi: INkosi Jire; njengoba kuthiwa kuze kube lamuhla: Entabeni yeNkosi kuzalungiselelwa.

¹⁵ Ingelosi kaJehova yamemeza ku-Abrahama ngokwesibili isezulwini,

¹⁶ Wathi: “Ngizifungile mina, usho uJehova, ngokuba wenze lokho, ungagodlanga nendodana yakho eyodwa yakho;

¹⁷ Ngiyakukubusisa, ngandise inzalo yakho njengezinkanyezi zezulu nanjengetshebetshebe esisogwini lolwandle; nenzalo yakho iyodla ifa lesango lezitha zayo;

¹⁸ Ngenzalo yakho zonke izizwe zomhlaba ziyobusiswa; ngoba ulilalele ilizwi lami.

¹⁹ U-Abrahama wabuyela ezincekwini zakhe, zasuka, zaya kanyekanye eBeri Sheba; u-Abrahama wahlala eBeri Sheba.

²⁰ Emva kwalokho u-Abrahama watshelwa, wathi: “Bheka, uMilka naye uzalele umfowenu uNahori abantwana;

²¹ u-Huse izibulo lakhe, noBhusi umfowabo, noKemuweli uyise ka-Aramu,

²² noKesedi, noHaso, noPildasi, noJidlafu, noBetuweli.

²³ UBhetuweli wazala uRebeka; laba abayisishiyagalombili uMilka wazala uNahori umfowabo ka-Abrahama.

²⁴ Isancinza sakhe, igama laso lalinguReuma, sazala uTheba, noGahamu, noTahasi, noMaga.
