¹⁰ Ndipo Abimeleke wanguti kwaku Abrahamu, “Cho waghanaghananga nchine, pakuti unguchita chinthu ichi?”

¹¹ Abrahamu wanguti, “Ndinguchichita chifukwa ndingughanaghana kuti, ‘Mulivi kopa Chiuta chingana nkhamanavi mu malo yagha, ndipo ŵakandibayanga chifukwa cha muwoli wangu.’

¹² Ndipo so ndi mzichi wangu nadi, mwana munthukazi wa ada, kweni kuti ndi mwana munthukazi wa ama cha: ndipo wanguŵa muwoli wangu.

¹³ Ndipo penipo Chiuta wangundisanduska kuŵa wakuyingayinga kutuwa ku nyumba ya ada, ndingumunene muwoli wangu, ‘Wezi weniwo undichitiyenge ine ndi uwu: pa malo pe pose penipo tikazanga unene nde mzichi wako.’ ”

¹⁶ Kwaku Sara wanguti, “Awona, ndapaska mzichi wako chikwi chimoza (1,000) cha siliva, nge nchisimikizgu paku iwe mu maso ghaku wose ŵeniwo ŵendi iwe, ndi paurongo pamunthu we yose kuti we mukongorekwa.”

¹⁷ Sono Abrahamu wanguromba kwaku Chiuta, ndipo Chiuta wanguchizga Abimeleke, ndipo wanguchizga so muwoli wake ndi ŵaŵanda ŵanthukazi viyo kuti wangupapa ŵana.
