1Ke kaloku uYehova wamvelela uSara njengoko ebetshilo, uYehova wamenzela uSara njengoko abekuthethile. 2Wamitha ke uSara waza wamzalela uAbraham unyana ebudaleni bakhe, ngexesha elimisiweyo uThixo awayethethe ngalo kuye. 3uAbraham wamthiya igama unyana wonyana wakhe lowo wamzalelayo, awamzalela yena uSara, igama elinguIsake. 4uAbraham wamalusa uIsake unyana wakhe, akuba ntsuku zisibhozo ezelwe, njengoko uThixo abemwisele umthetho. 5uAbraham ubeminyaka ilikhulu ezelwe, ukuzalwa kukaIsake unyana wakhe. 6Wathi uSara, Undihlekisile uThixo; 7Wathi, Ngubani na obengamxelela uAbraham, ukuba uSara wanyisa abantwana? ngokuba ndimzalele unyana ekwaluphaleni kwakhe. 8Wakhula umntwana, walunyulwa, waza uAbraham wenza itheko elikhulu mhla alunyulwayo uIsake. 9uSara wabona ukuba unyana kaHagare umYiputazana, awamzalela uAbraham, ehlekisa ngaye. 10Wathi kuAbraham, Sikhuphele phandle esi sicakazana nonyana waso, kuba unyana waloo mkhonzazana akayi kulidla ilifa ndawonye nonyana wam uIsake. 11Yaba mbi kakhulu loo mcimbi emehlweni ka-Abraham ngenxa yonyana wakhe. 12Wathi uThixo kuAbraham, Musa ukukuvumela ukuba kube kubi emehlweni akho ngenxa yonyana wakho, nangenxa yomkhonzazana wakho; Entweni yonke ayithethileyo uSara kuwe, liphulaphule izwi lakhe; ngokuba iya kubizwa ngoIsake imbewu yakho. 13Ndiza kumenza uhlanga ngonyana wekhobokazana, ngenxa yokuba eyimbewu yakho. 14Wavuka kusasa uAbraham, wathabatha isonka neselwa lamanzi, wanika uHagare, wazibeka emagxeni akhe nomntwana, wathi kuye, makahambe; wemka, wabhadula entlango eBher-shebha. 15Aphela amanzi etankini, waza umntwana wamphosa phantsi kwelinye ityholo. 16Waya wahlala phantsi malunga nayo, umgama onjengesaphetha; ngokuba wathi, Andiyi kukubona ukufa komntwana. Wahlala phantsi malunga naye, waphakamisa izwi lakhe, wadanduluka. 17Waliva uThixo ilizwi lenkwenkwe; samemeza isithunywa sikaThixo kuHagare sisemazulwini, sathi kuye, Ukhathazwa yintoni na, Hagare? Musa ukoyika; ngokuba uThixo ulivile ilizwi lonyana apho akhona. 18Suka ume, uyiphakamise inkwenkwe, uyibambe ngesandla; ngokuba ndiya kumenza uhlanga olukhulu. 19uThixo wawavula amehlo akhe, wabona iqula lamanzi; Waya kuzalisa ingqayi ngamanzi, wayiseza inkwenkwe. 20uThixo waba nenkwenkwe; wakhula, wahlala entlango, waba ngumtoli. 21Wahlala entlango yaseParan, unina wamzeka wangumkakhe ezweni laseYiputa. 22Ngelo xesha uAbhimeleki noPikole umthetheli-mkhosi wakhe wathetha noAbraham, bathi, uYehova unawe kuko konke okwenzayo. 23Ngoko ndifungele uThixo apha, ukuba akuyi kundenza ngobumenemene mna, nonyana wam, nonyana wam; kodwa ngokwenceba endikubonise yona, uze wenze kum nakwilizwe owaphambukela kulo njengomphambukeli. 24Wathi uAbraham, Mna ndofunga. 25uAbraham wamkhalimela uAbhimeleki ngenxa yequla elo, ababelithabathe ngegunya abakhonzi baka-Abhimeleki; 26Wathi uAbhimeleki, Bendingazi ukuba yenziwe ngubani na loo nto; 27uAbraham wathabatha impahla emfutshane, neenkomo, wanika uAbhimeleki; benza umnqophiso bobabini. 28uAbraham wabeka amathokazi asixhenxe ngasempahleni emfutshane. 29Wathi uAbhimeleki kuAbraham, Ayintoni na la mathokazi ezimvu asixhenxe uzinikileyo? 30Wathi, La mathokazi eegusha asixhenxe wowathabatha esandleni sam, abe nokungqina ukuba eli qula limbe mna. 31Ngenxa yoko wathi loo ndawo yiBher-shebha; kuba kulapho bafunga khona bobabini. 32Benza ke umnqophiso noBher-shebha, wema uAbhimeleki noPikoli umthetheli womkhosi wakhe, babuyela ezweni lamaFilisti. 33uAbraham watyala umthi apho, waza wathandaza kuNdikhoyo uThixo ongunaphakade. 34uAbraham waba ngumphambukeli iintsuku ezininzi kwilizwe lamaFilisti.
