1Abrahamu adacoka kuMamure kule aciyenda kuNegebu (cigawo ca kunyantsi kwa Kenani). Adakakhala pakati pa mzinda wa Kadesi na dziko la Suri, wacidzakakhala kudziko la Gerari. 2Kumweko adauza wanthu kuti: “Sarayu ni mpfumakazi yangu”. Na tenepo Abimeleki, mambo wa kuGerari, adam'tenga Sarayo. 3Ndipo Mulungu adamuwonekera usiku mukulota aciti: “Unifatu iwe, thangwe mkazi omwe watengayo ngwakulowodwa kale”. 4Tsono Abimeleki akhanati kum'khuya mkaziyo, na tenepo adati: “Mbuya, cadidi mungaphe munthu wakusaya kuphonya? 5Abrahamu pomwe adandiuza adati: ‘Ni mpfumakazi yangu’, iyembo mwenekaciro akhati, ‘Ni nkhosve yangu’. Ine pomwe ndidacita bzimwebzi, m'tima wangu ulibe kundigaza, pomwe ndiribe kuphonya”.
6Mulungu adam'tawira mukulota mmwemo kuti: “Inde, ndin'dziwa kuti pomwe udacita bzimwebzo, m'tima wako ulibe kugaza. Na tenepoyo, ndidakuletsa ndine kukhuya mkaziyo, kuti uleke kundiphonyera. 7Tsono upereke mkazi umweyo kwa mwamuna wace. Mwamunayo ni mpolofita, ndipo iye an'dzakupemberera kuti uleke kufa. Tsono ukaleka kum'pereka, udziwe kuti cadidi un'dzafa, iwepo na banja lako lentse”.
8Mangwana yandzace, macibese-bese, Abimeleki adacemera akapolo wace wentse aciwauza bzentse bzire, tsono wanthuwo adacita mantha kwene-kwene. 9Pamwepo Abimeleki adacemera Abrahamu acim'bvundza kuti: “Waticita tani? Kodi ine ndakuphonyera ciyani, kuti iwe un'diputire cirango ca terepayu, ine na wentse wa muumambo bwangu? Bzomwe wacitabzi mpsakufunika lini. 10Thangwe ranyi wacita bzimwebzi?”
11Abrahamu adatawira kuti: “Ndikhakumbuka kuti kuno kulibe na m'bodziyo wakugopa Mulungu, ndipo wangadandipha wacitenga mkazi wanguyu. 12Tsono n'cadidi umweyu ni mpfumakazi yangu, thangwe ni mwana wa baba wangu, tsono ngwakubadwa lini na mai wangu, ine ndidamulowola. 13Na terepo, pomwe Mulungu adandituma kucokera kunyumba kwa baba wangu, kuti ndiyende kumadziko ya cirendo, ndidamuuza mkazi wanguyu kuti: ‘Uku ndiko kundikomera m'tima komwe udzandicitire ine, pakuuza ali-yentse kuti ndine nkhosve yako, kuli-kwentse komwe tiniyenda.’ ”
14Tsono Abimeleki adabwezera Sara kwa Abrahamu, ndipo nthawe imweyo adam'pasa mabira, ng'ombe na anyankhoda wacimuna na wacikazi. 15Ndipo Abimeleki adati: “Dziko lentseneri ndangu, ungakwanise kukhala kuli-kwentse un'funa”. 16Ndipo kwa Sara adati: “Nkhosve yakoyi ndiri kuipasa kobiri za ndzayaya zicena culu cibodzi, kuti cikhale ninga mboni kwa wentse omwe ali nawewa kuti iwe ndiwe wakusaya kuphonya”.
17Pamwepo Abrahamu adapemberera Abimeleki, ndipo Mulungu adam'ciza. Aciciza pomwe mkazi wace pabodzi na akapolo wace wacikazi, kuti wentsenewo wakwanise kubala. 18Thangwe ra Sara, mkazi wa Abrahamu, Mbuya akhadawafunga nthumbo akazi wentse wa banja la Abimeleki.
