2 U-Abrahama wathi ngoSara umkakhe: “Ungudadewethu.” Khona u-Abimeleki inkosi yaseGerari wathuma wamthatha uSara.
3 Kepha uNkulunkulu weza ku-Abimeleki ngephupho ebusuku, wathi kuye: “Bheka, uyafa ngenxa yowesifazane omthathileyo; uganile endodeni.”
4 Kepha u-Abimeleki wayengakasondeli kuye; wathi: “Nkosi, uyakubhubhisa nesizwe esilungileyo na?
5 Akashongo kimi ukuthi: ‘Ungudadewethu,’ na? Naye uqobo wathi: ‘Ungumnewethu.’ Ngobuqotho benhliziyo yami nangobumhlophe bezandla zami ngikwenzile lokhu.”
