2Ngiyakwenza isivumelwano sami phakathi kwami nawe, nginandise kakhulu.
3U-Abrama wawa ngobuso bakhe, uNkulunkulu wakhuluma kuye, wathi:
4Mina-ke, bheka, isivumelwano sami sikuwe, futhi uyakuba nguyise wezizwe eziningi.
5Igama lakho alisayikuthiwa u-Abrama, kepha igama lakho liyakuba ngu-Abrahama; ngoba ngikwenze uyise wezizwe ezinengi.
6Ngizakwenza uzale kakhulu, ngikwenze izizwe, kuphume amakhosi kuwe.
7Ngiyakumisa isivumelwano sami phakathi kwami nawe nenzalo yakho emva kwakho ezizukulwaneni zayo sibe yisivumelwano esiphakade, ngibe nguNkulunkulu kuwe nakuyo inzalo yakho emva kwakho.
8Ngiyakunika wena nenzalo yakho emva kwakho izwe ogogobele kulo, izwe lonke laseKhanani, libe yifa laphakade; njalo ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo.
9UNkulunkulu wathi ku-Abrahama: “Kumelwe ugcine isivumelwano sami, wena nenzalo yakho ngemva kwakho ezizukulwaneni zayo.
10Lesi yisivumelwano sami eniyakusigcina phakathi kwami nawe nenzalo yakho emva kwakho; Wonke umntwana wesilisa phakathi kwenu kufanele asokwe.
11Kumelwe isoke inyama yejwabu lakho; futhi kuyoba yisibonakaliso sesivumelwano phakathi kwaMi nawe.
12Oyizinsuku eziyisishiyagalombili makasokwe phakathi kwenu, yonke indodana ezizukulwaneni zenu, ezelwe endlini noma ethengwe ngemali kunoma yimuphi umfokazi ongeyena owenzalo yakho.
13Ozelwe endlini yakho nothengwa ngemali yakho makasokwe; isivumelwano sami siyakuba senyameni yenu njengesivumelwano esiphakade.
14Owesilisa ongasokile, ijwabu lakhe elingasokanga, lowo muntu uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo; wephule isivumelwano sami.
15UNkulunkulu wathi ku-Abrahama: “USarayi umkakho, ungambizi ngokuthi uSarayi, kepha igama lakhe liyakuba nguSara.”
16Ngizambusisa njalo ngikunike indodana evela kuye; yebo, ngiyakumbusisa, abe ngunina wezizwe; amakhosi ezizwe ayophuma kuyo.
17U-Abrahama wawa ngobuso bakhe, wahleka, wathi enhliziyweni yakhe: “Oneminyaka eyikhulu uyakuzalelwa na? noSara oneminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye uyakuzala na?
18U-Abrahama wathi kuNkulunkulu: “U-Ishmayeli makaphile phambi kwakho!
19UNkulunkulu wathi: Impela umkakho uSara uzakukuzalela indodana; uyakuqamba igama layo ngokuthi u-Isaka, ngimise isivumelwano sami naye, sibe yisivumelwano esiphakade nenzalo yakhe emva kwakhe.
20Ngokuqondene no-Ishmayeli ngikuzwile: Bheka, ngimbusisile futhi ngizomenza azale futhi ngimandise kakhulukazi; uyakuzala izikhulu eziyishumi nambili, ngimenze isizwe esikhulu.
21Kodwa ngizamisa isivumelwano sami loIsaka, uSara azakuzalela yena ngalesisikhathi esimisiweyo ngomnyaka olandelayo.
22Wayeseyeka ukukhuluma naye, uNkulunkulu wakhuphuka esuka ku-Abrahama.
23U-Abrahama wathatha indodana yakhe u-Ishmayeli nabo bonke ababezelwe endlini yakhe, nabo bonke abathengwa ngemali yakhe, bonke abesilisa phakathi kwabantu bendlu ka-Abrahama; basoka inyama yejwabu ngalolo suku, njengalokho uNkulunkulu emyalile.
24U-Abrahama wayeneminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nesishiyagalolunye mhla esokwa enyameni yejwabu lakhe.
25U-Ishmayeli indodana yakhe wayeneminyaka eyishumi nantathu lapho esokwa enyameni yejwabu lakhe.
26Ngalolo suku u-Abrahama wasokwa kanye nendodana yakhe u-Ishmayeli.
27Wonke amadoda endlu yakhe azalelwe endlini futhi athengwe ngemali kowezizwe asokwa kanye naye.
