17 Abraam yommuu umuriin isaa waggaa 99 taʼutti Yihowaan isatti mulʼatee akkana isaan jedhe: “Ani Waaqa Hundumaa Dandaʼu dha. Ana duratti deddeebiʼi; mudaa* kan hin qabne taʼuu kees argisiisi.

8 Biyya nama biyya ormaa taatee keessa jiraatte,+ jechuunis guutummaa biyya Kanaʼaan sii fi sanyii kee warra si booda dhufaniif dhaala dhaabbataa taʼe godhee nan kenna; Waaqa isaaniis nan taʼa.”+

9 Yihowaan saboota guguddoo fi jajjaboo taʼan isin duraa ni ariʼa;+ hamma harʼaattis namni tokko illee isin dura dhaabbachuu hin dandeenye.+

18 Yihowaan Amoorota dabalatee saboota warra nu dura biyyattii keessa jiraachaa turan hundumaa ariʼeera. Kanaafuu, nutis Yihowaa tajaajilla; sababiin isaas inni Waaqa keenya dha.”
