Azoba yarenze isezerano ryanje.”

18 Inyuma y’ivyo Aburahamu abwira Imana y’ukuri ati: “Ese Ishimayeli yobaho imbere yawe+!” 19 Imana na yo ivuga iti: “Sara umugore wawe agiye koko kukuvyarira umuhungu, kandi uze umwite Izahaki+. Nzoshinga isezerano ryanje hamwe na we, ribe isezerano ryo gushika igihe kitagira urugero ku ruvyaro rwiwe mu nyuma ziwe+. 20 Mugabo ku vyerekeye Ishimayeli, nakwumvise. Ehe nzomuhezagira, ntume arondoka nongere ndamugwize cane rwose+. Emwe, azovamwo abakuru cumi na babiri, kandi nzomugira ihanga rikomeye+. 21 Ariko isezerano ryanje nzorishinga hamwe na Izahaki+, uwo Sara azokuvyarira mu mwaka uza kuri iki gihe cashinzwe+.”
