12 UJehova wasesithi ku-Abrama: “Suka elizweni lakini lasezihlotsheni zakho lakwabendlu kayihlo uye elizweni engizakutshengisa lona.+ 2 Ngizakwenza ube yisizwe esikhulu, ngikubusise, ngenze ukuthi ibizo lakho libe likhulu njalo uzakuba yisibusiso.+ 3 Ngizababusisa labo abakubusisayo njalo umuntu okuqalekisayo ngizamqalekisa.+ Zonke imuli ezisemhlabeni zizabusiswa* ngawe.”+

5 Awusoze uphinde ubizwe ngokuthi ungu-Abrama* kodwa usuzabizwa ngokuthi ungu-Abrahama* ngoba ngizakwenza ube nguyise wezizwe ezinengi. 6 Ngizakwenza ukuthi uzale abantwana abanengi kakhulu, ngenze ukuthi kuwe kuvele izizwe ezinengi njalo amakhosi azavela kuwe.+

17 ngizakubusisa sibili njalo ngizakwandisa inzalo yakho* loba sekutheni, ibe njengezinkanyezi zamazulu lanjengetshebetshebe ekhunjini lolwandle+ njalo inzalo yakho izathatha* amadolobho* ezitha zayo.+ 18 Ngenzalo yakho*+ zonke izizwe zomhlaba zizazitholela isibusiso ngenxa yokuthi ulalele ilizwi lami.’”+
