2 Ndiya kuwubeka umnqophiso wam phakathi kwam nawe, ndikwandise kakhulu kunene.
3 Wawa uAbram ngobuso bakhe.
4 UThixo wathetha naye, esithi, Mna, yabona, umnqophiso wam unawe; ùya kuba nguyise wengxokolo yeentlanga.
5 Kananjalo akusayi kuthiwa igama lakho nguAbram;* igama lakho liya kuba nguAbraham,* ngokuba ndikwenzé uyise wengxokolo yeentlanga;
6 ndiya kukuqhamisa kakhulu kunene, ndikwenze iintlanga, kuphume ookumkani kuwe;
