¹Zvino Abhurahamu wakabvapo akananga kunyika yekuchamhembe, ­ndokugara pakati peKadheshi neShuri, akava mutorwa muGerari.

¹Ibraahimna meeshaas wuu ka sodcaalay oo wuxuu u kacay xagga dhulka Koonfureed, oo wuxuuna degay Qaadeesh iyo Shuur dhexdooda, qariib ahaan buuna Geraar u degay.

²Abhurahamu ndokuti maererano naSara mukadzi wake: Ihanzvadzi yangu. Zvino Abhimereki ma­mbo weGerari akatuma, ndokutora Sara.

²Ibraahimna wuxuu naagtiisii Saarah ka yidhi, Waa walaashay. Oo Abimeleg oo ahaa boqorkii Geraar ayaa u soo cid dirtay, oo watay Saarah.

³Asi Mwari wakauya kuna Abhimereki muchiroto usiku, ndokuti kwaari: Tarira, wakafa nekuda kwemukadzi wa­watora; nekuti wakawanikwa kumurume.

³Laakiinse Ilaah baa Abimeleg habeenkii riyo ugu yimid, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal eeg, waxaad tahay meyd uun, waana naagtii aad qaadatay aawadeed, maxaa yeelay, iyadu waa nin naagtiis.

⁴Asi Abhimereki wakange asina kuswedera kwaari. Naizvozvo wakati: Ishe, muchaurayawo rudzi rwakarurama here?

⁴Abimelegna uma uusan dhowaan iyada, wuxuuna yidhi, Sayidow, miyaad quruun xaq ah baabbi'inaysaa?

⁵Haana here kuti kwandiri: Iha­nzvadzi yangu? Naiye amene haana here kuti: Ihanzvadzi yangu, here? Ndakaita izvozvo pakururama kwemoyo wangu, nepakuchena kwemaoko angu.

⁵Miyuusan isaga qudhiisu igu odhan, Waa walaashay? Oo iyana xataa waxay igu tidhi, Isagu waa walaalkay. Tan waxaan ku sameeyey daacadnimada qalbigayga iyo daahirsanaanta gacmahayga.

⁶Mwari ndokuti kwaari muchiroto: Hongu, ndinoziva kuti wa­kaita ichi pakururama kwemoyo wako; neniwo ndikakudzivisa kuti urege kundita­dzira; naizvozvo handina kukutendera kumubata.

⁶Oo Ilaah wuxuu ku yidhi isaga intuu riyoonayay, Haah, waan ogahay inaad waxan daacadnimada qalbigaaga ku samaysay, anna waan kaa celiyey inaad igu dembaabto: sidaas daraaddeed kuuma aan oggolaan inaad iyada taabato.

⁷Naizvozvo zvino dzosera mukadzi wemurume, nekuti muporofita; zvino uchakunyengeterera ugorarama; asi kana ukasamudzosera, ziva kuti uchafa zviro­kwazvo, iwe nevose vako.

⁷Haddaba ninka naagtiisa u celi, waayo, isagu waa nebi, wuuna kuu ducayn doonaa, waanad noolaan doontaa. Haddaadan iyada celinna, ogow hubaal waad dhiman doontaa, adiga iyo waxaaga oo dhammuba.

⁸Abhimereki ndokumuka mangwanani-ngwanani, ndokudana varanda vake vose, akataura mashoko awa ose munzeve dzavo; varume ndokutya zvikuru.

⁸Abimelegna aroor horuu kacay, oo wuxuu u yeedhay addoommadiisii oo dhan, oo waxyaalahan oo dhan buu u sheegay, nimankiina aad iyo aad bay u cabsadeen.

⁹Abhimereki ndokudana Abhurahamu ndokuti kwaari: Chii chawaita kwatiri? Uye chii chandakutadzira, kuti uuise pamusoro pangu nepamusoro peu­she hwangu chivi chikuru? Waita kwandiri chisingafaniri kuitwa.

⁹Markaasaa Abimeleg wuxuu u yeedhay Ibraahim, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waa maxay waxa aad nagu samaysay? Oo maxaan kuugu dembaabay, oo aad aniga iyo boqortooyadaydaba dembi weyn ugu soo jiidday? Waxaad igu samaysay waxyaalo aan waajib ahayn in la sameeyo.

¹⁰Abhimereki ndokuti kuna Abhurahamu: Wanga uchiti kudii, zvawaita chinhu ichi?

¹⁰Abimelegna wuxuu Ibraahim ku yidhi, Maxaad aragtay oo aad waxan u samaysay?

¹¹Abhurahamu ndokuti: Nekuti nda­kafunga kuti: Zvirokwazvo kutya Mwari hakumo mu­nzvimbo ino; uye vachandiuraya nekuda kwemukadzi wangu.

¹¹Ibraahimna wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan mooday inaan cabsida Ilaah meeshan jirin, oo ay naagtayda aawadeed ii dili doonaan.

¹²Uyezve, zvirokwazvo ihanzvadzi yangu, mukunda wababa vangu, asi haazi mukunda wamai vangu; akazova mukadzi wangu.

¹²Oo weliba sida runta ah iyadu waa walaashay, waana gabadhii aabbahay, laakiin ma aha gabadhii hooyaday; waxayna noqotay naagtaydii.

¹³Zvino zvakaitika Mwari paakandidzungaidza kubva paimba ya­baba vangu, kuti ndakati kwaari: Hewu moyo wakanaka wau­nofanira kundiitira, panzvimbo dzose patichasvika, uti pamusoro pangu: Ihanzvadzi yangu.

¹³Waxaana dhacay, markii Ilaah iga wareejiyey gurigii aabbahay, inaan ku idhi iyada, Raxmaddaada aad i tusi doonto waxay tahay inaad meel kastoo aynu tagnaba iga tidhaahdo, Waa walaalkay.

¹⁴Abhimereki ndokutora makwai ne­mombe nevaranda nevarandakadzi, ndokupa kuna Abhurahamu, ndokumudzosera Sara mukadzi wake.

¹⁴Markaasaa Abimeleg wuxuu waday ido iyo dibiyo, iyo niman addoommo ah, iyo naago addoommo ah, oo wuxuu siiyey Ibraahim, naagtiisii Saarahna wuu u celiyey.

¹⁵Zvino Abhime­reki wakati: Tarira, nyika yangu iri pa­mberi pako; gara pakanakira meso ako.

¹⁵Abimelegna wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal eeg dhulkaygu waa ku hor yaallaaye. Meeshaad doonto deg.

¹⁶Nekuna Sara wakati: Tarira, ndapa hanzvadzi yako makobiri esirivha ane chiuru che­zana; tarira, chifukidziro chemeso ako kune vose vanewe; nevose, saizvozvo wakadzorwa.

¹⁶Saarahna wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal eeg, walaalkaa waxaan siiyey kun xabbadood oo lacag ah, waana u indhadabool kuwa kula jooga oo dhan; oo xagga wax kasta waa lagaa xaq mariyey.

¹⁷Zvino Abhurahamu wakanyengetera kuna Mwari; Mwari ndokuporesa Abhimereki ne­mukadzi wake nevarandakadzi vake kuti vabereke.

¹⁷Ibraahimna Ilaah buu baryay, markaasaa Ilaah bogsiiyey Abimeleg, iyo naagtiisii, iyo gabdhihii midiidinyada u ahaa; waxayna dhaleen carruur.Waayo, Ilaah wuxuu awday maxalladii kuwa reerka Abimeleg oo dhan, waana Saarah oo ahayd naagtii Ibraahim aawadeed.

¹⁸Nekuti Jehovha wakange avhara zvizvaro zvose zveveimba yaAbhi­mereki nekuda kwaSara mukadzi waAbhurahamu.

¹⁸Waayo, Ilaah wuxuu awday maxalladii kuwa reerka Abimeleg oo dhan, waana Saarah oo ahayd naagtii Ibraahim aawadeed.
