1 UJehova wabonakala kuye ngasema-okini* aseMamre, ehlezi emnyango wetende ngesikhathi sokushisa kwemini.
2 Waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wabuka; bheka, amadoda amathathu ayemi phambi kwakhe; wathi ukuba awabone, wasuka emnyango wetende, wagijima ukuwahlangabeza, wakhothama,
3 wathi: “Nkosi, uma ngifumene umusa emehlweni akho, mawungadluli encekwini yakho.
4 Makulethwe ingcosana yamanzi, nigeze izinyawo zenu, niphumule phansi komuthi.
5 Ngizakulanda ucezu lwesikwa, nithokozise izinhliziyo zenu, andukuba nidlule, njengokuba senifikile encekwini yenu.”Athi: “Yenza njengokusho kwakho.”
6 U-Abrahama waphuthuma etendeni kuSara, wathi: “Sheshisa, uthathe amaseya* amathathu empuphu ecolekileyo, uyixove, wenze amaqebelengwane.”
