1 Ke kaloku uAbraham wanduluka apho, waya ezweni lasezantsi, wahlala phakathi kweKadeshe neShure, waphambukela eGerare.
2 Wathi uAbraham ngoSara umkakhe, Ngudade wethu. UAbhimeleki ukumkani waseGerare wathuma, wamthabatha uSara.
3 Weza uThixo kuAbhimeleki ngephupha ebusuku, wathi kuye, Ùyabona, ufile ngenxa yomfazi omthabathileyo; ngumkamntu.
4 Ke uAbhimeleki ubengasondelanga kuye; wathi, Nkosi, nolunobulungisa uhlanga wòlubulala, yini na?
5 Akatshongo na yena kum ukuthi, Ngudade wethu, naye ngokwakhe wathi, Ngumnakwethu? Le nto ndiyenzé ngentliziyo yam ígqibelele, nangezandla zam zímsulwa.
6 Wathi uThixo kuye ngephupha, Nam ndiyazi ukuba uyenzé le nto ngentliziyo yakho igqibelele. Ndakunqanda nam, ukuba ungoni kum; ngenxa yoko andikuvumelanga ukuba umchukumise.
7 Ngoko mbuyise umfazi wale ndoda, ngokuba ingumprofeti; yókuthandazela ukuba uphile; ukuba uthe akwambuyisa, yazi ukuba ùya kufa, wena nabo bonke onabo.
