2 Ngiyakwenza isivumelwano sami phakathi kwami nawe, ngikwandise kakhulu.”
3 U-Abrama wayesewa ngobuso bakhe; uNkulunkulu wakhuluma naye, wathi:
4 “Bheka, ngokwami isivumelwano sami sikuwe; uyakuba nguyise wezizwe eziningi.
5 Igama lakho alisayikuthiwa u-Abrama, kepha igama lakho lizakuba ngu-Abrahama, ngokuba ngikwenzile uyise wezizwe eziningi.
6 Ngiyakwandisa kakhulu inzalo yakho, ngikwenze isizwe, kuvele namakhosi kuwe.
7 Ngiyakumisa isivumelwano sami phakathi kwami nawe, nenzalo yakho emva kwakho ezizukulwaneni zayo, sibe yisivumelwano esiphakade, ngibe nguNkulunkulu wakho nowenzalo yakho emva kwakho.
