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.+ 3 Ngitawubabusisa labo labakubusisako, ngibacalekise labo labakucalekisako,+ futsi tonkhe tive letisemhlabeni titawubusiswa* ngawe.”+

7 Jehova wabese ubonakala ku-Abrama, futsi watsi kuye: “Lelive ngitalinika bantfwana* bakho.”+ Ngako Abrama wakhela Jehova li-al’thare kuleyo ndzawo, ngobe kulapho abonakala khona kuye.

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.+

7 “Ngitawusigcina sivumelwane lengisente nawe+ nebantfwana* bakho kanye nato tonkhe titukulwane letiseta, futsi lesivumelwane sitawuhlala phakadze. Ngitawuba nguNkulunkulu wakho newentalelwane* yakho letakuta emvakwakho.

17 nakanjani ngitakubusisa futsi intalelwane* yakho ngitayandzisa ibe ngangetinkhanyeti tasemazulwini, nangangesihlabatsi lesiselugwini lwelwandle,+ futsi intalelwane* yakho itawutsatsa emadolobha* etitsa tayo.+ 18 Tonkhe tive temhlaba titawubusiswa* ngentalelwane*+ yakho, ngobe wena ulilalele livi lami.’”+

7 Jehova Nkulunkulu wemazulu, lowangikhipha endlini yababe naseveni letihlobo tami+ futsi lowakhuluma nami, nalowafunga kimi watsi:+ ‘Intalelwane*+ yakho ngitayinika lelive,’+ yena utawutfumela ingilosi yakhe kutsi ihambe embikwakho,+ futsi nakanjani wena utawutsatsela indvodzana yami umfati kulelo live.+
