12 Jehova watsi ku-Abrama: “Phuma eveni lakini, ushiye tihlobo takho nendlu yababe wakho, uye eveni lengitakukhombisa lona.+ 2 Ngitakwenta ube sive lesikhulu, ngikubusise, ngente nelibito lakho latiwe kakhulu, futsi utawuba sibusiso kulabanye.+

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

5 Wabese utsi akaphumele ngephandle, futsi watsi kuye: “Ngicela ubuke etulu emazulwini, futsi ubale tinkhanyeti nawungakhona kutibala.” Ngemuva kwaloko watsi: “Batawuba ngako-ke nebantfwana* bakho.”+

2 Ebusuku, Nkulunkulu wakhuluma na-Israyeli embonweni watsi: “Jakobe, Jakobe!” Yena watsi: “Yebo Nkhosi!” 3 Nkulunkulu watsi: “Mine nginguNkulunkulu weliciniso, naNkulunkulu wababe wakho.+ Ungesabi kuya eGibhithe, ngobe ngitawufike ngikwente ube sive lesikhulu lapho.+

7 Ema-Israyeli* aba nebantfwana futsi acala kwandza kakhulu. Achubeka aba manyenti futsi aba nemandla ngelizinga lelimangalisako, kangangekutsi agcwala kulo lonkhe live laseGibhithe.+
