iGenesis 12
uAbram wayethunywe nguYehova
1Wathi uYehova kuAbram, Lishiye ilizwe lakowenu, nendlu yakho, nendlu kayihlo, uye ezweni endokubonisa lona. 2Ndiya kukwenza uhlanga olukhulu, ndikusikelele, ndilikhulise igama lakho; kwaye uya kuba nethamsanqa. 3Yaye ndiya kumsikelela okusikeleleyo, lowo ukuqalekisayo ndimqalekise; zisikeleleke ngawe zonke izizukulwana zehlabathi. 4Wemka uAbram njengoko wathethayo uYehova kuye; uLote wahamba naye, yaye uAbram wayeneminyaka engamashumi asixhenxe anesihlanu ubudala ekuphumeni kwakhe kwelakwaHaran. 5uAbram wathabatha uSarayi umkakhe, noLote, unyana womninawa wakhe, nengqwebo yabo yonke ababeyiqwebile, nemiphefumlo eyabafumanayo kwaHaran; bemka baya ezweni lakwaKanan; bafika ezweni lakwaKanan. 6uAbram walicanda ilizwe, waya endaweni yakwaShekem, entlango yaseMore. AmaKanan abekho ngelo xesha ngelo xesha. 7uYehova wabonakala kuAbram, wathi, Imbewu yakho ndiya kuyinika eli lizwe; waza wamakhela khona isibingelelo uYehova owayebonakele kuye. 8Wenyuka khona waya entabeni ngasempumalanga, eBheteli, wayimisa intente yakhe eBheteli ngasentshonalanga, iAyi ingasempumalanga; Wakha khona isibingelelo kuYehova, wathandaza egameni likaYehova. 9Wemka uAbram, wenjenjeya esingise ezantsi. 10Kwabakho indlala kwelo zwe, wehla uAbram waya eYiputa, ukuba aphambukele khona; ngokuba ibinkulu indlala ehlabathini. 11Kwathi, xa asondelayo ukungena eYiputa, wathi kuSarayi umkakhe, Yabona, ndiyazi ngenxa yokuba ungumfazi omhle ngembonakalo. 12Kothi, akukubona amaYiputa, athi, Ngumkakhe lo; andibulale mna, wena akugcine uphila. 13Yithi, ungudade wethu, ukuze ndilunge ngenxa yakho; kwaye umphefumlo wam uya kuphila ngawe. 14Akufika uAbram eYiputa, ambona amaYiputa umfazi ukuba mhle kakhulu. 15Zambona iinkosana zikaFaro, zamdumisa phambi koFaro; umfazi wasiwa endlwini kaFaro. 16Waqhubeka emenzela okulungileyo uAbram ngenxa yakhe, waba nempahla emfutshane, neenkomo, namaesile, nabakhonzi, nabakhonzazana, namaesile akhe, neenkamela. 17uYehova wamohlwaya ngokuqatha uFaro nendlu yakhe ngenxa kaSarayi, umka-Abram. 18uFaro wambiza uAbram, wathi, Yintoni na le undenze yona? Kutheni ungandixelelanga nje ukuba ngumfazi wakho? 19Yini na ukuba uthi, Ngudade wethu? ukuze ndimthabathe abe ngumkam; Khangela ke ngoko umkakho, umthabathe, uhambe. 20uFaro wawawisela umthetho amadoda akhe ngaye, amthuma yena nomkakhe, nako konke abenako.
