12 Na Yehowa nkulungula Abalama’shi: “Katuka mu nsenga yenu na mu kifuko kiobe, na mu nshibo ya nshobe, wende mu nsenga ya nkakulesha.
2 Nakakuikasha muilo ukata, nakakuelela miabi, nakekasha eshina diobe dikata, na okekala muabi kui bangi.
3 Baba abakuelela miabi, nakebelela miabi, baba abakuabikisha bubi, nakebele mulua, na bifuko bioso bia pa nsenga abikedibua binyibinyi miabi ku bukuashi bobe.”
4 Biabia Abalama bayile nka bu bibaadi Yehowa mumulungule, na Lota nkuenda naye. Abalama baadi na bipua 75 pabaadi mukatukie ku Arane.
5 Abalama nkuata mukashi aaye Sarai na Lota muana a mukuabo, na bintu bioso bibaabadi bapete, na bafubi* babaabadi bapete mu Arane, abo nkuenda batadiile mu nsenga ya Kanaana. Pababafikile mu nsenga ya Kanaana,
6 Abalama baadi mukidile muanka mpa na ku mbalo yabetanyina bu Shekeme, pepi na mitshi ikata ya Moree. Mu aa mafuku bena Kanaana babaadi muanka.
7 Yehowa nkumuenekiela Abalama na nkumulungula’shi: “Nakapa bekulu bobe ino nsenga.” Biabia aye nkuibakila Yehowa baadi mumumuenekiele kilambuilo kuanka.
8 Kunyima aye nkukatuka paapa, nkuenda mu miengie ya kutunduka nguba kua Betele, na aye nkushimika kashibo kaye k’epema, Betele dia kupona nguba, na Ai dia kutunduka nguba. Aye nkuibakila Yehowa kilambuilo kuakua na nkubanga kuitanyina eshina dia Yehowa.
9 Kunyima Abalama nkufiluka, na nkuenda mutadile dia ku Negebe, afu’endanga na kufiluka mu ma mbalo elekene.
10 Nsala ibatuelele muiumbo, na Abalama nkualala ku Ejipitu mu kushala kuakua munda mua mafuku,* muanda nsala ibaadi ibukopo muiumbo.
11 Pa tababaadi pa kutuela mu Ejipitu, balunguile mukashi aaye Sarai’shi: “Nteemeshe namu, nauku’shi we mukashi ebuwa bua mpala.
12 Biabia apakakumono bena Ejipitu abakakula binyibinyi’shi, ‘Nyi mukashi aaye.’ Akupu abakangipaa kadi bakulekie na muwa.
13 Wakule namu’shi we mukuetu mukashi, bua’shi mianda ingiile kalolo pa muanda obe, na muwa wande aukapanda.”*
14 Nka Abalama kiatuele mu Ejipitu, bena Ejipitu babamuene’shi muana mukashi baadi naye, baadi buwa bua mpala bukile.
15 Milopue ya Faraone namu ibamumuene, na ayo nkubanga kumukaanyisha kui Faraone, biabia babayile na muana mukashi ku nshibo ya Faraone.
16 Aye nkukitshina Abalama mianda na kalolo pa muanda wa Sarai, na aye nkupeta mikooko, ngombe, mpunda ilume na ikashi, bafubi balume na bakashi, na tumelo.
17 Biabia Yehowa nkunyoka Faraone na ba mu nshibo muaye na bipupa bi bukopo pa muanda wa Sarai, mukashi a Abalama.
18 Biabia Faraone nkuitanyina Abalama na nkumuipusha’shi: “A nkinyi kibonkitshi? Bua kinyi tuekeele mundungule’shi mmukashi oobe?
19 Buakinyi ondunguile’shi, ‘Mmukuetu mukashi,’ tankiebanga kumuata bu mukashi ande. Mukashi oobe biadi’bi. Muate, wende!
20 Biabia Faraone nkutumina bantu baye eyi pabimutale, na abo nkumubinga na mukashi aaye, na bioso bibaadi nabio.
