Ukubizwa kukaAbrama
1INkosi yasisithi kuAbrama: Suka elizweni lakini lasezihlotsheni zakho lasemzini kayihlo, uye elizweni engizakukutshengisa lona. #Seb 7:2, 3; Heb 11:8 2Ngizakukwenza ube yisizwe esikhulu, ngikubusise, ngenze ibizo lakho libe likhulu, lisetshenziswe ekubusiseni.
3Ngizakubabusisa abakubusisayo,
ngibaqalekise abakuqalekisayo;
lonke usendo lomhlaba luzazicelela ukubusiswa njengawe. #Gal 3:8
4UAbrama wasukake njengokutsho kweNkosi, loLoti wahamba laye. UAbrama wayeleminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu mhla esuka eHarani. 5UAbrama wathatha uSarayi umkakhe, loLoti indodana yomfowabo lempahla yabo yonke ababelayo lezinceku ababelazo eHarani, basuka ukuya elizweni laseKanani; bafika elizweni laseKanani. 6UAbrama wadabula ilizwe waze wafika endaweni yaseShekema, esihlahleni esikhulu saseMore. AmaKanani ayesekhona elizweni. 7INkosi yabonakala kuAbrama yathi: Ngizakuyinika inzalo yakho lelilizwe. Wayakhela lapho ialtare iNkosi eyabonakala kuye. #Seb 7:5; Gal 3:16 8Wasuka khona, waya entabeni ngasempumalanga kwaseBetheli, wamisa khona ithente lakhe, iBetheli lingasentshonalanga, leAyi lingasempumalanga. Wayakhela lapho ialtare iNkosi, wadumisa ibizo leNkosi. 9UAbrama waqhubeka futhi esiya eNegebi.
UAbrama useGibithe
10Kwakukhona indlala elizweni. UAbrama wehlela eGibithe ukuba ahlale khona, ngoba indlala yayinkulu elizweni. 11Kwathi esesondela ukungena eGibithe wathi kuSarayi umkakhe: Khangela, ngiyazi ukuthi ungowesifazana omuhle obukekayo. 12Kuzakuthi lapho amaGibithe ekubona athi: Lo ngumkakhe; angibulale, kodwa wena akugcine. 13Ngakho ubokuthi ungudadewethu, ukuze ngilungelwe ngenxa yakho ngiphile ngenxa yakho. #Gen 20:2; 26:7 14Kwathi lapho uAbrama esengenile eGibithe, amaGibithe abona ukuthi owesifazana muhle kakhulu. 15Izikhulu zikaFaro zambona, zambabaza phambi kukaFaro. Owesifazana walethwa endlini kaFaro. 16UFaro wamphatha kuhle uAbrama ngenxa yakhe; waba lezimvu lezinkabi labobabhemi lezinceku lezincekukazi labobabhemikazi lamakamela.
17Kodwa iNkosi yamtshaya uFaro lendlu yakhe ngezinhlupheko ezinkulu ngenxa kaSarayi umkaAbrama. 18UFaro wasembiza uAbrama wathi: Kuyini lokhu okwenze kimi na? Kungani ungangitshelanga ukuthi ungumkakho na? 19Utsholoni ukuthi ungudadewenu, ngize ngimthathe abe ngumkami na? Ngakho nangu umkakho; mthathe uhambe. 20UFaro walaya amadoda ngaye; amxotsha kanye lomkakhe lakho konke ayelakho.
