2 Cakumwenako, ngwe Abrahamu bamusanene ngwabo wa kusungama mwafwa ya bipangi byendi, ngwe wawanene hakulishashela, oloni keti kulishashela ku mesho a Njambi embwe.
3 Bika bicendeka cisoneka? “Abrahamu wakulahelele Yehova, co bamumwene ngwabo muka-kusungama.”
4 Munu uje wapanga, fweto yendi kubaimono ngwabo inapu ngozi yakama, oloni baimona ngwabo inapu cuma cibanapande kumwana.*
5 Co munu uje kesi kupanga, oloni akala na likulahelo muli Uje asana munu wa kujeneka kuzibila Njambi lyoba ngwendi wa kusungama, ou munu bamumona ngwabo wa kusungama mwafwa ya likulahelo lyendi.
6 Omu mukemwo mwanendeka na Devidi ha kubwahelela kwaziba munu yanatumbula Njambi ngwendi wa kusungama kwa kujeneka bipangi byanalingi, ngwendi:
7 “Banabwahelela baje babanakonekela bilinga byabo bya kupokola mashiko na baje babanafwikila* bubi bwabo.
8 Nabwahelela munu uje Yehova kakanuka bubi bwendi.”
9 Kuma eci kubwahelela cinapu ca baje banai lika ku mukanda, indi na baje kubaile ku mukanda? Mwafwa tukendeka ngwetu: “Abrahamu bamumwene ngwabo muka-kusungama mwafwa ya likulahelo lyendi.”
10 Simbu muka ibamusanene ngwabo wa kusungama? Te nai ku mukanda indi te kanda aye ku mukanda? Te kanda aye ku mukanda.
11 Co bamwanene cizibukiso, eci cizibukiso cinapu kuya ku mukanda, kuje kwapwile ciganto ca kumwesa ngwaco napu wa kusungama mwafwa ya likulahelo lyakele nalyo simbu kanda aye ku mukanda. Capwile ngoco mangana apwe ishe ya boshe baje bali na likulahelo nameme kubaile ku mukanda ngeci babamone ngwabo banapu ba kusungama.
12 Wapwile lalo ishe ya bana baje banai ku mukanda, keti lika ishe ya baje bali na kunyunga lishiko lya kuya ku mukanda, oloni na baje bali na kwenda mu kulongwa mu kukulahela kwakele nakwo tate yetu Abrahamu, simbu kanda aye ku mukanda.
13 Mwafwa Abrahamu nambe bana bendi* kubatambwile eci cikulaheso ca kuswana kaye kwitila mu lishiko embwe, oloni bacitambwile kwitila mu busunga bwendi mwafwa ya kukala na likulahelo.
14 Mwafwa nga baje bali na kunyunga lishiko banapu baswana, co likulahelo linapu lyangoco, co lalo na cikulaheso banacimanesa.
15 Mwafwa Lishiko likanene butenu, oloni kuje kukwesi lishiko na kupokola lishiko cahiko.
16 Mukemwo eci cikulaheso cezile kwitila mu likulahelo mwafwa capwa bwana bwa ngozi yakama ya Njambi, mangana eci cikulaheso cipwe ca busunga ku bana ba Abrahamu boshe, keti lika baje bali na kunyunga lishiko, oloni na baje bali na kunyunga likulahelo lya Abrahamu uje wapwa tate yetu tubaboshe.
17 (Oku kunapu lika ngwe mubanasoneka ngwabo: “Njinakwangula upwe ishe ya baka-mafuti amangi.”) Omu mukemwo mwamumwene Njambi uje yakulahelele, uje akalingisa batsi bayoye na kusana byuma bije byahiko ngwe kubili.*
18 Nameme kukwakele byuma byasele kulingisa Abrahamu akale na lilabelelo lya kukala na bana, oloni mwafwa ya lilabelelo, wakulahelele ngwendi apwa ishe ya baka-mafuti amangi kwesekesa nomu mwamulekele Njambi ngwendi: “Omu mukemwo mubakafwa bana* bobe.”
19 Nameme likulahelo lyendi kulyazeyele, oloni wamwene mubila wendi ngwe unatsi, (mwafwa wakele na myaka ya kweta ku 100), co lalo wamwene Sala ngwendi natubakana myaka ya kukita.
20 Oloni mwafwa ya cikulaheso ca Njambi, Abrahamu kauwasanene nambe kuzeya mu likulahelo, oloni likulahelo lyendi lyamukanyamesele, co wanene Njambi bumpau.
21 Co watabele bene ngwendi byuma byamukulahesele Njambi, Njambi wasele lalo kubilinga.
22 Ngeci, mwafwa ya likulahelo lyendi, “bamumwene ngwabo wa kusungama.”
23 Nameme ngoco, lijwi lya kwendeka ngwalyo “bamumwene” kubalisonekelele lika ikeye,
24 oloni balisonekelele netu lalo, yetu babanamono ngwabo ba kusungama, mwafwa tunataba muli Uje wasangwile Mwata wetu Yesu ku batsi.
