1Yintoni na ngoko esiya kuthi, uAbraham, ubawo wethu, ufumene yona ngokwenyama? 2Kuba uAbraham, ukuba wayegwetyelwe ngokwasemisebenzini, ange eneqhayiya; kodwa phambi koThixo. 3Kuba sithini na isibhalo? uAbraham wakholwa kuThixo, kwaza oko kwabalelwa kuye ebulungiseni. 4Ke kaloku, kulowo usebenzayo, umvuzo awubalelwa ngokwaselubabalweni; 5Ke kulowo ungasebenziyo, ekholwa kuye lowo umgwebelayo umntu ongahloneli Thixo, ukholo lwakhe lubalelwa ebulungiseni. 6Kwanjengokuba noDavide eluchaza ubabalo lomntu, athe uThixo wabalela ubulungisa ngaphandle kwemisebenzi; 7Esithi, Banoyolo ababugwenxa babo buxolelweyo, nabazono zigutyungelweyo; 8Inoyolo indoda eya kuthi iNkosi ingakhe ibalele sono kuyo. 9Olu luyolo ngoko lunconywayo lulolwabolwaluko bodwa na? Asilulo olwabo bangebolwaluko nabo na? Kuba sithi, kuAbraham ukholo lwabalelwa ebulungiseni. 10Kwathiwani na ke ngoko ukubalelwa kuye? Wayekuko nokuba walukile na? Hayi, ndisekungalukini. 11Waza wamkela umqondiso wolwaluko, waba litywina lokuqinisa ubulungisa bokholo awayenalo esekungalukini, ukuze abe nguyise wabo bonke abakholwayo besekubeni bengalukanga; ukuze babalelwe kubo ubulungisa; 12abe nguyise wabalukileyo, kungengabolwaluko bodwa; 13Kuba ukumbeka ngedinga uAbraham, nembewu yakhe, lokuba yindlalifa yalo ihlabathi, bekungengomthetho; bekungobulungisa bokholo. 14Kuba abo basemthethweni, ukuba ngabo iindlalifa, ukholo lungaba lwenziwe into engento, nedinga lingaba liphuthisiwe; 15Kaloku umthetho usebenza ingqumbo. Ke apho kungekho mthetho, akukho sigqitho. 16Ngoko ke ilifa liphuma elukholweni, ukuze libe ngokobabalo; ukuze idinga liqiniseke kuyo yonke imbewu; kungekuphela nje abo basemthethweni, kodwa kwanabo baselukholweni luka-Abraham; ngubani ubawo wethu sonke. 17Njengokuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Ndikumisile ukuba ube nguyise weentlanga ezininzi; 18Owakholwayo ngethemba, kungekho nethemba eli, ukuze abe nguyise weentlanga ezininzi, njengoko kwakutshiwoyo ukuthi, Iya kuba njalo imbewu yakho. 19Akazange abe buthathaka elukholweni, akawukhathalelanga umzimba wakhe owawusele ufile, xa wayeneminyaka emalunga nekhulu ubudala, kwanakukufa kwesizalo sikaSara. 20Akazange athandabuze idinga likaThixo ngokungakholwa; womelela elukholweni, ezukisa uThixo; 21Eqinisekile ukuba oko akuthembisileyo, unako nokukwenza. 22Kungoko kwabalelwa nokubalelwa ebulungiseni kuye. 23Ke kaloku, ukuba kwabalelwa kuye, akubhalwanga ngenxa yakhe yedwa; 24Kodwa nangenxa yethu, baza kubalelwa kuthi, thina bakholwayo kulowo wamvusayo uYesu iNkosi yethu kwabafileyo; 25owanikelwa ngenxa yezono zethu, waza wabuya wavuswa ngenxa yokugwetyelwa kwethu.

1Yintoni na ngoko esiya kuthi, uAbraham, ubawo wethu, ufumene yona ngokwenyama? 2Kuba uAbraham, ukuba wayegwetyelwe ngokwasemisebenzini, ange eneqhayiya; kodwa phambi koThixo. 3Kuba sithini na isibhalo? uAbraham wakholwa kuThixo, kwaza oko kwabalelwa kuye ebulungiseni. 4Ke kaloku, kulowo usebenzayo, umvuzo awubalelwa ngokwaselubabalweni; 5Ke kulowo ungasebenziyo, ekholwa kuye lowo umgwebelayo umntu ongahloneli Thixo, ukholo lwakhe lubalelwa ebulungiseni. 6Kwanjengokuba noDavide eluchaza ubabalo lomntu, athe uThixo wabalela ubulungisa ngaphandle kwemisebenzi; 7Esithi, Banoyolo ababugwenxa babo buxolelweyo, nabazono zigutyungelweyo; 8Inoyolo indoda eya kuthi iNkosi ingakhe ibalele sono kuyo. 9Olu luyolo ngoko lunconywayo lulolwabolwaluko bodwa na? Asilulo olwabo bangebolwaluko nabo na? Kuba sithi, kuAbraham ukholo lwabalelwa ebulungiseni. 10Kwathiwani na ke ngoko ukubalelwa kuye? Wayekuko nokuba walukile na? Hayi, ndisekungalukini. 11Waza wamkela umqondiso wolwaluko, waba litywina lokuqinisa ubulungisa bokholo awayenalo esekungalukini, ukuze abe nguyise wabo bonke abakholwayo besekubeni bengalukanga; ukuze babalelwe kubo ubulungisa; 12abe nguyise wabalukileyo, kungengabolwaluko bodwa; 13Kuba ukumbeka ngedinga uAbraham, nembewu yakhe, lokuba yindlalifa yalo ihlabathi, bekungengomthetho; bekungobulungisa bokholo. 14Kuba abo basemthethweni, ukuba ngabo iindlalifa, ukholo lungaba lwenziwe into engento, nedinga lingaba liphuthisiwe; 15Kaloku umthetho usebenza ingqumbo. Ke apho kungekho mthetho, akukho sigqitho. 16Ngoko ke ilifa liphuma elukholweni, ukuze libe ngokobabalo; ukuze idinga liqiniseke kuyo yonke imbewu; kungekuphela nje abo basemthethweni, kodwa kwanabo baselukholweni luka-Abraham; ngubani ubawo wethu sonke. 17Njengokuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Ndikumisile ukuba ube nguyise weentlanga ezininzi; 18Owakholwayo ngethemba, kungekho nethemba eli, ukuze abe nguyise weentlanga ezininzi, njengoko kwakutshiwoyo ukuthi, Iya kuba njalo imbewu yakho. 19Akazange abe buthathaka elukholweni, akawukhathalelanga umzimba wakhe owawusele ufile, xa wayeneminyaka emalunga nekhulu ubudala, kwanakukufa kwesizalo sikaSara. 20Akazange athandabuze idinga likaThixo ngokungakholwa; womelela elukholweni, ezukisa uThixo; 21Eqinisekile ukuba oko akuthembisileyo, unako nokukwenza. 22Kungoko kwabalelwa nokubalelwa ebulungiseni kuye. 23Ke kaloku, ukuba kwabalelwa kuye, akubhalwanga ngenxa yakhe yedwa; 24Kodwa nangenxa yethu, baza kubalelwa kuthi, thina bakholwayo kulowo wamvusayo uYesu iNkosi yethu kwabafileyo; 25owanikelwa ngenxa yezono zethu, waza wabuya wavuswa ngenxa yokugwetyelwa kwethu.
