Ukutendeka 17:1-27
17 Ilyo Abramu aali ne myaka 99, Yehova amoneke kuli ena kabili amwebele ati: “Nine Lesa Wa Maka Yonse. Ulecita ifyo mfwaya kabili uleba uwa kaele.*
2 Nalapangana na iwe icipangano,+ kabili nkafusha abana bobe icine cine.”+
3 E lyo Abramu awile ubukupeme, na Lesa akonkenyepo ukulanda nankwe, ati:
4 “Mona! nalipangana nobe icipangano,+ kabili ukaba wishi wa nko ishingi.+
5 Nomba tawakulaitwa ukuti Abramu;* wakulaitwa ukuti Abrahamu,* pantu nkalenga ukabe wishi wa nko ishingi.
6 Nkalenga ukakwate abana abengi icine cine, kabili nkalenga ukabe inko, ne mfumu shikafuma muli iwe.+
7 “Kabili nkafikilisha icipangano candi kuli iwe+ na ku mwana* obe mu nkulo shakwe shonse, cikaba cipangano ca muyayaya, pa kuti nkabe Lesa obe kabili Lesa wa mwana* obe uukesa pa numa.
8 Kabili nkapeela iwe na bana* bobe icalo ico waikelemo ilyo wali umulebeshi,+ icalo conse ica Kanaani, pa kuti cikabe cobe umuyayaya, kabili nkaba Lesa wabo.”+
9 Kabili Lesa aebele Abrahamu ati: “Na iwe, ukalesunga icipangano candi, iwe na bana* bobe abakesa pa numa mu nkulo shabo shonse.
10 Ici e cipangano ico napangana na iwe, ico iwe na bana* bobe abakafyalwa pa numa mukalasunga: Umwaume onse uwa muli imwe akasembululwe.+
11 Mukalesembulula inkanda ya pa mpela ya mubili wenu, kabili ici e cikaba icishibilo ca cipangano ico napangana na imwe.+
12 Mu nkulo shenu shonse, umwaume onse uwafyalilwa mu ng’anda yenu nga akumanya inshiku 8 akasembululwe,+ na onse uo mwashita mu ndalama ku mwina fyalo uushafuma mu bana* bobe na o akasembululwe.
13 Umwaume onse uwafyalilwa mu ng’anda yobe no mwaume onse uwashitwa mu ndalama shobe afwile ukusembululwa,+ ukusembululwa e cishibilo ca cipangano ico napangana na imwe, kabili cifwile ukuba cipangano ca muyayaya.
14 Umwaume* onse uushakasembululwe, akepaiwe. Ninshi natoba icipangano candi.”
15 Lyena Lesa akonkenyepo ukusosa kuli Abrahamu ati: “Sarai*+ umukashi obe, wilamwita auti Sarai, pantu nomba ishina lyakwe ni Sara.*
16 Nkamupaala kabili nkalenga no kuti akakufyalile umwana umwaume;+ nkapaala Sara kabili akaba inko; imfumu sha bantu na bantu shikafuma muli ena.”
17 E lyo Abrahamu awile ubukupeme alaseka mu mutima wakwe+ aleti: “Bushe umwaume uuli ne myaka 100 kuti afyala umwana, kabili bushe Sara, umwanakashi uuli ne myaka 90 kuti afyala?”+
18 E ico Abrahamu atile kuli Lesa wa cine: “Shi mwingapaala Ishmaele!”+
19 Lesa na o amwebele ati: “Sara umukashi obe akakufyalila umwana umwaume, ukamwinike ati Isaki.*+ Kabili nkapangana nankwe icipangano icikaba ca muyayaya ku bana* bakwe abakesa pa numa.+
20 Lelo ifyo usosele pali Ishmaele ning’umfwa. Mona! Nkamupaala kabili nkamulenga akakwate abana abengi, kabili bakafula icine cine. Akafyala intungulushi 12, kabili nkamulenga akabe uluko ulukalamba.+
21 Nomba uo nkapangana nankwe icipangano ni Isaki,+ uo Sara akakufyalila pa nshita nga ino ine, uyu mwaka uleisa.”+
22 Ilyo Lesa apwile ukulanda na Abrahamu alimushile.
23 E lyo Abrahamu abuulile Ishmaele umwana wakwe umwaume na baume bonse abafyalilwe mu ng’anda yakwe na onse uo ashitile mu ndalama shakwe, umwaume onse uwa mu ng’anda ya kwa Abrahamu, kabili alisembulwile inkanda ya pa mpela ya mibili yabo pali bulya bwine bushiku, nge fyo Lesa amwebele.+
24 Abrahamu aali ne myaka 99 ilyo asembulwilwe inkanda ya pa mpela ya mubili wakwe.+
25 Kabili Ishmaele umwana wakwe umwaume aali ne myaka 13 ilyo bamusembulwile inkanda ya pa mpela ya mubili wakwe.+
26 Mu bushiku bulya bwine e mo Abrahamu na Ishmaele umwana wakwe umwaume basembulwilwe.
27 Abaume bonse aba mu ng’anda yakwe, onse uwafyalilwe mulya na bonse abo ashitile ku bena fyalo mu ndalama, babasembulwile mu bushiku bulya bwine.
