1 U-Abrahama wayesemdala, eseneminyaka eminingi; uJehova wayembusisile u-Abrahama kukho konke.
2 Wayesethi u-Abrahama encekwini enkulu yendlu yakhe eyayibusa konke anakho: “Beka isandla sakho phansi kwethanga lami.
3 Ngizakukufungisa uJehova, uNkulunkulu wezulu noNkulunkulu womhlaba, ukuthi awuyikuthathela indodana yami umfazi emadodakazini amaKhanani engihlezi phakathi kwawo,
4 kepha uye ezweni lakithi nasezihlotsheni zami, uyithathele khona indodana yami u-Isaka umfazi.”
5 Inceku yathi kuyo: “Mhlawumbe owesifazane akayikuvuma ukungilandela, eze kuleli zwe; imbala ngiyakuyibuyisela indodana yakho ezweni, lapho wavela khona na?”
6 U-Abrahama wathi kuye: “Qaphela ukuba ungayibuyiseli khona indodana yami.
7 UJehova uNkulunkulu wezulu owangikhipha endlini kababa nasezweni lokuzalwa kwami wakhuluma kimi, wafunga kimi, wathi: ‘Ngiyakulinika inzalo yakho leli zwe;’ uzakuthuma ingelosi yakhe phambi kwakho, ukuze ungitholele khona indodana yami umfazi.
