15 Ngitawenta kutsi kube nebutsa*+ emkhatsini wakho+ nemfati,+ nasemkhatsini wentalelwane*+ yakho nentalelwane*+ yakhe. Yona itawufihlita* inhloko yakho,+ futsi wena utayilimata* esitsendzeni.”+

14 Ngemuva kwekutsi bo-Abrama naLoti behlukene, Jehova watsi ku-Abrama: “Ngicela sewuphakamise emehlo, futsi ubuke ngasenyakatfo ulapho ume khona, ubuke ngaseningizimu, ngasemphumalanga nangasenshonalanga, 15 ngobe lonkhe lelive lolibonako ngitalinika wena nebantfwana* bakho, futsi litawuhlala lingelenu.+

15 Ngemuva kwaloko, Abrama wabona umbono, weva nelivi laJehova litsi: “Ungesabi+ Abrama. Mine ngisihlangu sakho,+ futsi umvuzo wakho utawuba mkhulu kakhulu.”+

7 Wachubeka watsi: “NginguJehova, lowakukhipha e-Uri, lokuyindzawo yemaKhaledi, kuze ngikunike lelive kutsi libe lakho.”+

17 Ngesikhatsi Abrama asaneminyaka lengu-99, Jehova wabonakala kuye watsi: “NginguNkulunkulu Somandla. Hlala wetsembekile kimi futsi ube msulwa.*

8 Lonkhe lelive laseKhenani lebewuhlala kulo njengesihambi+ ngitalinika wena nentalelwane* yakho letakuta emvakwakho, futsi litawuhlala lingelenu. Mine ngitawuba nguNkulunkulu walentalelwane yakho.”+

12 Ngako Nkulunkulu watsi ku-Abrahama: “Kungakuphatsi kabi loku Sara lakushoko ngalomfana nangalencekukati yakho. Mlalele* ngobe intalelwane* yakho itawuvela ku-Isaka.+

13 Ngetulu kwaletitebhisi kwakunaJehova, futsi watsi:

“NginguJehova, Nkulunkulu wamkhulu wakho Abrahama naNkulunkulu wababe wakho Isaka.+ Lelive lolele kulo ngitakunika lona, wena kanye nentalelwane* yakho.+ 14 Intalelwane* yakho itawuba ngangemhlabatsi,+ futsi itawusabalala igcwale enshonalanga nasemphumalanga, enyakatfo naseningizimu. Yonkhe imindeni lesemhlabeni itawubusiswa* ngawe nangentalelwane* yakho.+

4 Jehova wabese utsi kuye: “Leli ngulelive lengafunga ngalo kubo-Abrahama, Isaka naJakobe, ngatsi: ‘Ngitalinika intalelwane* yakho.’+ Ngikuvumele kutsi ulibone, kodvwa angeke wewelele kulo.”+

7 Akusibo bonkhe lababantfwana ba-Abrahama ngenca nje yekutsi bayintalelwane*+ yakhe, ngobe kwatsiwa: “Intalelwane* yakho itawuvela ku-Isaka.”+

16 Letetsembiso tashiwo ku-Abrahama nasentalelwaneni*+ yakhe. Akushiwo kutsi: “Nasetintalelwaneni,”* lokusho letinyenti, kodvwa kushiwo yinye nakutsiwa: “Nasentalelwaneni* yakho,” lenguKhristu.+
