¹U-Abrama eseneminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nesishiyagalolunye uJehova wabonakala ku-Abrama, wathi kuye: “NginguNkulunkulu uSomandla; hamba phambi kwami futhi uphelele.

²Ngiyakwenza isivumelwano sami phakathi kwami nawe, nginandise kakhulu.

³U-Abrama wawa ngobuso bakhe, uNkulunkulu wakhuluma kuye, wathi:

⁴Mina-ke, bheka, isivumelwano sami sikuwe, futhi uyakuba nguyise wezizwe eziningi.

⁵Igama lakho alisayikuthiwa u-Abrama, kepha igama lakho liyakuba ngu-Abrahama; ngoba ngikwenze uyise wezizwe ezinengi.

⁶Ngizakwenza uzale kakhulu, ngikwenze izizwe, kuphume amakhosi kuwe.

⁷Ngiyakumisa isivumelwano sami phakathi kwami nawe nenzalo yakho emva kwakho ezizukulwaneni zayo sibe yisivumelwano esiphakade, ngibe nguNkulunkulu kuwe nakuyo inzalo yakho emva kwakho.

⁸Ngiyakunika wena nenzalo yakho emva kwakho izwe ogogobele kulo, izwe lonke laseKhanani, libe yifa laphakade; njalo ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo.

⁹UNkulunkulu wathi ku-Abrahama: “Kumelwe ugcine isivumelwano sami, wena nenzalo yakho ngemva kwakho ezizukulwaneni zayo.

¹⁰Lesi yisivumelwano sami eniyakusigcina phakathi kwami nawe nenzalo yakho emva kwakho; Wonke umntwana wesilisa phakathi kwenu kufanele asokwe.

¹¹Kumelwe isoke inyama yejwabu lakho; futhi kuyoba yisibonakaliso sesivumelwano phakathi kwaMi nawe.

¹²Oyizinsuku eziyisishiyagalombili makasokwe phakathi kwenu, yonke indodana ezizukulwaneni zenu, ezelwe endlini noma ethengwe ngemali kunoma yimuphi umfokazi ongeyena owenzalo yakho.

¹³Ozelwe endlini yakho nothengwa ngemali yakho makasokwe; isivumelwano sami siyakuba senyameni yenu njengesivumelwano esiphakade.

¹⁴Owesilisa ongasokile, ijwabu lakhe elingasokanga, lowo muntu uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo; wephule isivumelwano sami.

¹⁵UNkulunkulu wathi ku-Abrahama: “USarayi umkakho, ungambizi ngokuthi uSarayi, kepha igama lakhe liyakuba nguSara.”

¹⁶Ngizambusisa njalo ngikunike indodana evela kuye; yebo, ngiyakumbusisa, abe ngunina wezizwe; amakhosi ezizwe ayophuma kuyo.

¹⁷U-Abrahama wawa ngobuso bakhe, wahleka, wathi enhliziyweni yakhe: “Oneminyaka eyikhulu uyakuzalelwa na? noSara oneminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye uyakuzala na?

¹⁸U-Abrahama wathi kuNkulunkulu: “U-Ishmayeli makaphile phambi kwakho!

¹⁹UNkulunkulu wathi: Impela umkakho uSara uzakukuzalela indodana; uyakuqamba igama layo ngokuthi u-Isaka, ngimise isivumelwano sami naye, sibe yisivumelwano esiphakade nenzalo yakhe emva kwakhe.

²⁰Ngokuqondene no-Ishmayeli ngikuzwile: Bheka, ngimbusisile futhi ngizomenza azale futhi ngimandise kakhulukazi; uyakuzala izikhulu eziyishumi nambili, ngimenze isizwe esikhulu.

²¹Kodwa ngizamisa isivumelwano sami loIsaka, uSara azakuzalela yena ngalesisikhathi esimisiweyo ngomnyaka olandelayo.

²²Wayeseyeka ukukhuluma naye, uNkulunkulu wakhuphuka esuka ku-Abrahama.

²³U-Abrahama wathatha indodana yakhe u-Ishmayeli nabo bonke ababezelwe endlini yakhe, nabo bonke abathengwa ngemali yakhe, bonke abesilisa phakathi kwabantu bendlu ka-Abrahama; basoka inyama yejwabu ngalolo suku, njengalokho uNkulunkulu emyalile.

²⁴U-Abrahama wayeneminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nesishiyagalolunye mhla esokwa enyameni yejwabu lakhe.

²⁵U-Ishmayeli indodana yakhe wayeneminyaka eyishumi nantathu lapho esokwa enyameni yejwabu lakhe.

²⁶Ngalolo suku u-Abrahama wasokwa kanye nendodana yakhe u-Ishmayeli.

²⁷Wonke amadoda endlu yakhe azalelwe endlini futhi athengwe ngemali kowezizwe asokwa kanye naye.
