Ukutendeka 15:1-21
15 Pa numa Yehova aebele Abramu mu cimonwa ati: “Witiina,+ Abramu. Nine nkwela yobe.+ Icilambu cobe cikaba icikalamba nga nshi.”+
2 Na o Abramu amwipwishe ati: “Mwe Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova, inga cinshi mukampeela apo nshakwata umwana e lyo no ukapyana ing’anda yandi ni Eliesere umwina Damaseke?”+
3 Kabili Abramu atile: “Tamwampeela umwana,*+ kabili umubomfi* wa mu ng’anda yandi e ukampyana.”
4 Lelo moneni! Yehova amwaswike ati, “Uyu muntu takakupyane, lelo umwana* obe e ukakupyana.”+
5 E lyo amufumishe pa nse no kumweba ati: “Lolesha mu muulu no kupenda intanda tumone nga kuti washipenda.” Lyena amwebele ati: “E fyo na bana* bobe bakafula.”+
6 Awe atetekele Yehova,+ na o amumwene ukuti mulungami.+
7 Kabili amwebele ati: “Nine Yehova, uwakufumishe ku Uri umusumba wa bena Kaldi ku kwisakupeela icalo ici pa kuti cibe cobe.”+
8 Na o amwipwishe ati: “Mwe Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova, cinshi nkeshibilako ukuti mukampeela ici calo?”
9 E lyo amwaswike ati: “Kandetele ing’ombe iikota iya myaka itatu, imbushi iikota iya myaka itatu, impaanga iilume iya myaka itatu, icipele na kana ka nkunda.”
10 E ico Abramu abuulile inama no kushiputula pabili. Kabili abikile ifiputusha fya ku kuso ku lubali lumo, e lyo ifya ku kulyo afibikile ku lubali lubiye, lelo ifyuni tafiputwile.
11 Lyena ifyuni fyatampile ukufookela pa nama ishafwa, lelo Abramu alefitamfya.
12 Ilyo akasuba kali mupepi no kuwa, Abramu aponene mu tulo utwingi, kabili imfifi iyafiitisha kabili iya kutiinya yaishile pali ena.
13 Lyena Lesa aebele Abramu ati: “Wishibe ukuti abana* bobe bakaba abalebeshi mu calo ca bene, kabili abantu muli cilya calo bakabateka ubusha kabili bakabacusha pa myaka 400.+
14 Lelo nkapingula uluko ulo bakabombela,+ kabili pa numa bakafumamo ne fipe ifingi.+
15 Nomba iwe, ukaya ku fikolwe fyobe umutende; kabili ukashiikwa pa numa ya kwikala imyaka iingi.+
16 Lelo mu nkulo yalenga 4 abana bobe bakabwelela kuno,+ pantu inshita ya kukanda abena Amore pa filubo fyabo tailafika.”+
17 Ilyo akasuba kawile kwafiita na fititi, kwamoneke ilungu ilyalefuuka icushi, kabili icenge icaleaka capitile pa kati ka fiputusha fya nama.
18 Pali bulya bushiku Yehova apangene na Abramu icipangano,+ amwebele ati: “Nkapeela icalo ici ku bana* bobe,+ ukutula pa mumana wa mu Egupti ukufika ku mumana ukalamba, umumana wa Yufrate:+
19 icalo ca bena Keni,+ ica bena Kenisi, ica bena Kademone,
20 ica bena Hiti,+ ica bena Perisi,+ ica bena Refa,+
21 ica bena Amore, ica bena Kanaani, ica bena Gegashi, ne ca bena Yebusi.”+
