Genese 17:1-27
17 Pakavua Abalama ne bidimu 99, Yehowa wakamuenekela Abalama, kumuambilaye ne: “Meme ndi Nzambi Wa Bukole Buonso. Wende kumpala kuanyi, udileje kuyi kalema.*
2 Nenjadike tshipungidi tshianyi pankatshi panyi nebe,+ ne nenkuvudije bikole, bikole menemene.”+
3 Ke Abalama kutua mpala wende panshi, ne Nzambi kutungunuka ne kuakula nende, wamba ne:
4 “Tangila! Tshipungidi tshianyi meme tshidi nebe;+ bulelela, neulue tatu wa bisamba bia bungi.+
5 Dîna diebe kadiakuikala kabidi Abalama* to; dîna diebe nedilue Abalahama,* bualu nenkuvuije tatu wa bisamba bia bungi.
6 Nengenze bua ulele bana ba bungi, ba bungi menemene, nenkuvuije bisamba, ne bakalenge nebafumine kuudi.+
7 “Nendame tshipungidi tshianyi tshidi pankatshi panyi nebe+ ne bana* bebe balua panyima pebe mu bipungu biabu bionso bua tshipungidi tshia tshiendelele, bua ngikale Nzambi webe ne wa bana* bebe balua panyima pebe.
8 Nenkupeshe wewe ne bana* bebe balua panyima pebe buloba buuvua musombele bu muntu wa ku babende,+ buloba buonso bua Kanâna, bua buikale buenu bua kashidi; nengikale kabidi Nzambi wabu.”+
9 Nzambi wakambila kabidi Abalahama ne: “Kadi wewe, udi ne bua kulama tshipungidi tshianyi, wewe ne bana* bebe balua panyima pebe mu bipungu biabu bionso.
10 Etshi ntshipungidi tshianyi tshidi pankatshi panyi nenu tshinualama wewe ne bana* bebe balua panyima pebe: Muntu mulume yonso udi munkatshi muenu udi ne bua kutengudibua.+
11 Nudi ne bua kutengudibua, ne bualu ebu nebuikale tshimanyinu tshia tshipungidi tshidi pankatshi panyi nenu.+
12 Mu bipungu bienu bionso, nudi ne bua kutengula+ muana wa balume yonso udi ne matuku muanda mukulu, muntu yonso mulela mu nzubu muenu ne muntu yonso udi kayi wa mu bana* benu uvua musumba ku makuta kudi muntu wa ku babende.
13 Muntu mulume yonso mulela mu nzubu muebe ne muntu mulume yonso musumba ku makuta ebe udi ne bua kutengudibua,+ ne tshipungidi tshianyi mu mibidi yenu tshidi ne bua kuikala tshipungidi tshia kashidi.
14 Muntu mulume udi kayi mutengula yeye kayi muditenguishe, badi ne bua kumbusha* muntu* au munkatshi mua tshisamba tshiabu. Mmushipe tshipungidi tshianyi.”
15 Pashishe Nzambi wakambila Abalahama ne: “Kadi bua mukajebe Salai,*+ kumubikidi kabidi ne: Salai to, bualu dîna diende nedilue Sala.*
16 Nemmubeneshe ne nenkupeshile kabidi muana wa balume mu yeye;+ nemmubeneshe ne nealue bisamba; bakalenge ba bisamba nebafumine kudiye.”
17 Ke Abalahama kutua mpala panshi, kutuadijaye kuseka, udiambila mu muoyo wende+ ne: “Badiku mua kulelela muntu wa bidimu lukama muana anyi? Sala, mukaji wa bidimu 90, udiku mua kulela anyi?”+
18 Nunku Abalahama wakambila Nzambi mulelela ne: “Yishemaele ikale ne muoyo kumpala kuebe!”+
19 Ke Nzambi kumuambila ne: “Sala mukajebe neakulelele bushuwa muana wa balume, ne neumuinyike ne: Izaka.*+ Nenjadike tshipungidi tshianyi nende. Netshikale tshipungidi tshia tshiendelele kudi bana* bende balua panyima pende.+
20 Kadi bua Yishemaele, ndi mukumvuile. Tangila! Nemmubeneshe, nengenze bua alele bana ba bungi, nemmuvudije bikole, bikole menemene. Neapatule bamfumu 12, ne nemmuvuije tshisamba tshinene.+
21 Kadi nenjadike tshipungidi tshianyi ne Izaka+ wikala Sala mua kukulelela tshikondo tshia buena etshi, tshidimu tshidi tshilua.”+
22 Pavua Nzambi mujikije kuyukila nende, wakabanda, kushiyaye Abalahama.
23 Pashishe Abalahama wakangata Yishemaele muanende wa balume ne bantu balume bonso balela mu nzubu muende ne muntu yonso uvuaye musumbe ku makuta, muana wa balume yonso wa mu nzubu mua Abalahama, yeye kubatengula dituku dine adi anu muvua Nzambi mumuambile.+
24 Abalahama uvua ne bidimu 99 pakamutengulabu.+
25 Yishemaele muanende uvua ne bidimu 13 pakamutengulabu pende.+
26 Anu dituku dine adi, bakatengula Abalahama ne muanende Yishemaele kabidi.
27 Bantu balume bonso ba mu nzubu muende, muntu yonso mulela mu nzubu muende ne muntu yonso uvuaye musumbe ku makuta kudi muntu wa ku babende, bakatengudibua pabu pamue nende.
