Gen 21
21
Ukuzalwa kukaIsaka
1INkosi yaba lomusa kuSara njengokukhuluma kwayo, yamenzela njengalokho yayimthembisile. 2USara wathatha isisu, wamzalela indodana uAbrahama esemdala, ngesikhathi uNkulunkulu abesitshilo kuye.#Heb 11:11 3UAbrahama wayitha ibizo indodana azalelwe yona nguSara wathi nguIsaka. 4UAbrahama wayisoka indodana yakhe uIsaka lapho isilezinsuku ezificaminwembili, njengokutsho kukaNkulunkulu kuye.#Gen 17:12; Seb 7:8 5UAbrahama wayeleminyaka elikhulu lapho ezalelwa uIsaka indodana yakhe. 6USara wathi: UNkulunkulu ungenzele ulutho oluthabisayo, bonke abaluzwayo bazathaba kanye lami. 7Wathi futhi: Ngubani obengatsho kuAbrahama ukuthi uSara uzakumunyisa abantwana na? Kanti sengimzalele indodana esemdala.
UHagari loIshmayeli basenkangala
8Umntwana wakhula, wakhunyulwa ebeleni. UAbrahama wenza idili elikhulu mhla uIsaka ekhunyulwa ebeleni. 9USara wasebona indodana kaHagari umGibithe ayizalele uAbrahama idlala ngoIsaka indodana yakhe. 10Ngakhoke wathi kuAbrahama: Sixotshe lesisigqilikazi lendodana yaso; ngoba indodana yalesisigqilikazi kayisoze idle ilifa kanye lendodana yami uIsaka.#Gal 4:29, 30 11Lelilizwi laba libi kakhulu kuAbrahama ngenxa yendodana yakhe. 12Kodwa uNkulunkulu wathi kuAbrahama: Kakungabi buhlungu kuwe ngenxa yomfana langenxa yesigqilikazi sakho; lalela ilizwi likaSara kukho konke akutshoyo kuwe, ngoba inzalo yakho izakubizwa ngoIsaka.#Roma 9:7; Heb 11:18 13Langayo indodana yesigqilikazi ngizakwenza isizwe esikhulu, ngoba iyinzalo yakho. 14Ngakhoke uAbrahama wavuka ekuseni, wathatha isinkwa lesigxingi samanzi, wakunika uHagari; wabeka umntwana emhlana wakhe, wamxotsha. UHagari wasuka wazula enkangala yaseBerisheba.
15Amanzi esephelile esigxingini walahlela umntwana phansi kwesihlahlana. 16Waya wahlala phansi khatshana laye okungaba libanga lokuphosa umtshoko; ngoba wathi: Kangingaboni ukufa komntwana. Wahlala maqondana laye, umntwana waphakamisa ilizwi lakhe wakhala. 17UNkulunkulu wezwa ilizwi lomntwana. Isithunywa sikaNkulunkulu samemeza uHagari sisezulwini, sathi kuye: Ukhalelani, Hagari? Ungesabi, ngoba uNkulunkulu usezwile ilizwi lomfana lapho akhona. 18Sukuma, ubambe umntwana ngesandla sakho; ngoba ngizamenza abe yisizwe esikkhulu. 19UNkulunkulu wavula amehlo akhe, wabona umthombo wamanzi. Waya khona, wagcwalisa isigxingi ngamanzi, wamnathisa umfana. 20UNkulunkulu waba laye umfana, wakhula, wahlala enkangala, waba ngumphosi womtshoko. 21Wahlala enkangala yaseParani; unina wamthathela umfazi elizweni laseGibithe.
Isivumelwano sikaAbrahama loAbimeleki
22Kwathi ngalesosikhathi uAbimeleki loFikoli, induna yempi yakhe, bakhuluma loAbrahama bathi: UNkulunkulu ulawe kukho konke okwenzayo.#Gen 26:26 23Ngakho funga kimi lapha ngoNkulunkulu ukuthi kawuyikungikhohlisa mina lendodana yami labazukulu bami; kodwa njengomusa engikwenzele wona, yenze njalo lawe kimi lakulo ilizwe osuhlala kilo. 24UAbrahama wathi: Ngizakufunga.
25Kodwa uAbrahama wamsola uAbimeleki ngomthombo wamanzi ebeziwuphangile inceku zikaAbimeleki. 26UAbimeleki wathi: Angazi ukuthi lokhu kwenziwe ngubani; lawe kawungitshelanga, futhi lami kangizwanga ngakho, kuze kube lamhla. 27UAbrahama wathatha izimvu lezinkabi, wazinika uAbimeleki; bobabili benza isivumelwano. 28UAbrahama wakhetha izimvukazi zomhlambi zaba yisikhombisa. 29UAbimeleki wathi kuAbrahama: Lezizimvukazi eziyisikhombisa ozikhethileyo ngezani na? 30Wathi: Yamukela esandleni sami lezizimvukazi eziyisikhombisa, zibe yibufakazi bokuthi lumthombo umbiwe yimi. 31Ngalokhoke wabiza leyondawo ngokuthi yiBerisheba, ngoba lapho bafunga bobabili. 32Ngakho benza isivumelwano eBerisheba. UAbimeleki loFikoli induna yempi yakhe basuka lapho, babuyela elizweni lamaFilistiya. 33UAbrahama esehlanyele isihlahla esithiwa yitamarisiki eBerisheba wakhuleka khona ebizweni leNkosi, uNkulunkulu ongelakuphela. 34UAbrahama wahlala elizweni lamaFilistiya insuku ezinengi.
