Phwando la Isake

⁸Mwana anakula naleka kuyamwa; tsiku limene Isake analeketsedwa kuyamwa, Abrahamu anakonza phwando lalikulu. ⁹Koma Sara anaona mwana amene Hagara Mwiguputo anamuberekera Abrahamu, akunyoza. ¹⁰Anati kwa Abrahamu, “Thamangitsa kapolo wamkazi uyu ndi mwana wake; mwana wa kapolo wamkazi uyu sadzalowa cholowa pamodzi ndi mwana wanga Isake.”

¹¹Zimenezi zinamuvutitsa Abrahamu kwambiri, chifukwa zinkhudza mwana wake.

¹²Koma Atate wathu anati kwa Abrahamu, “Usavutike mumtima chifukwa cha mnyamata ndi kapolo wako wamkazi. Mvera Sara pa zonse zimene akukuuza, pakuti mbewu yako idzatchulidwa mwa Isake. ¹³Ndipo mwana wa kapolo wamkazi ndidzamusandutsanso mtundu wa anthu, popeza ndi mbewu yako.”

¹⁴M'mawa mwake Abrahamu anatenga buledi ndi thumba la madzi, nazipereka kwa Hagara, naziyika pa phewa lake pamodzi ndi mwana, namutumiza kuti apite. Iye ananyamuka, nayendayenda m'chipululu cha Beeriseba. ¹⁵Pamene madzi a mu thumba anatha, anayika mnyamata pansi pa chitsamba china. ¹⁶Anapita, nakhala pansi pa mtunda wofanana ndi kuponya muvi, pakuti anati, “Sindingathe kuona mnyamata akufa.” Ndipo anakhala pomwepo, nakweza mawu ake, nalira.

¹⁷Atate wathu anamva mawu a mnyamata; mthenga wake anaitana Hagara kuchokera kumwamba: “Chavuta ndi chiyani, Hagara? Usaope—Atate wathu wamva mawu a mnyamata pamene ali. ¹⁸Imirira, nyamula mnyamata umgwire padzanja, pakuti ndidzamusandutsa mtundu waukulu wa anthu.”

¹⁹Ndipo Atate wathu anamutsegula maso; anaona chitsime cha madzi, napita nadzaza thumba la madzi, namupatsa mnyamata kuti amwe.

²⁰Atate wathu anali ndi mnyamata pamene amakula. Anakhala m'chipululu nasanduka woponya mivi. ²¹Anakhala m'chipululu cha Parani, ndipo mayi wake anamupezera mkazi kuchokera ku Iguputo.

Lumbiro la Abimeleki

²²Pa nthawi imeneyo, Abimeleki ndi Fikoli, mkulu wa asilikali ake, anati kwa Abrahamu, “Mulungu ali nawe pa zonse zimene umachita. ²³Tsopano lumbira kwa ine pano mwa Mulungu kuti sudzandichitira chinyengo ine, ana anga, kapena zidzukulu zanga. Ndichitire ine ndi dziko lino limene wakhalamo monga mlendo, chifundo chomwecho chimene ndakuchitira iwe.”

²⁴Abrahamu anati, “Ndikulumbira.” ²⁵Ndipo Abrahamu anadandaula kwa Abimeleki chifukwa cha chitsime cha madzi chimene antchito a Abimeleki analanda. ²⁶Abimeleki anayankha nati, “Sindikudziwa amene wachita zimenezi. Iwe sunandiuze, ndipo ndangomva zimenezi lero lokha.”

²⁷Abrahamu anatenga nkhosa ndi ng'ombe nazipereka kwa Abimeleki, ndipo awiriwo anachita pangano. ²⁸Abrahamu anapatula ana a nkhosa aakazi asanu ndi awiri pa gulu la nkhosa, ²⁹ndipo Abimeleki anamufunsa Abrahamu, nati, “Kodi ana a nkhosa aakazi asanu ndi awiri amene wawapatula akutanthauza chiyani?”

³⁰Iye anayankha nati, “Landira ana a nkhosa aakazi asanu ndi awiri awa kuchokera kwa ine kuti akhale umboni wakuti ndinakumba chitsime ichi.” ³¹Choncho malo amenewo anawatcha Beeriseba, chifukwa pamenepo awiriwo analumbirirana. ^b b v31 Beeriseba lili ndi matanthauzo awiri akuti “chitsime cha zisanu ndi ziwiri” ndi “chitsime cha lumbiro” — matanthauzo onse awiri agwirizana ndi mbali imeneyi pamene Abrahamu analumbira pafupi ndi chitsime. ³²Choncho anachita pangano ku Beeriseba. Ndipo Abimeleki ndi Fikoli, mkulu wa asilikali ake, anabwerera ku dziko la Afilisti. ³³Abrahamu anadzala mtengo wa tamariski ku Beeriseba, ndipo pamenepo anaitana dzina la Atate wathu, El Olamu—Atate wathu wamuyaya. ^c c v33 El Olamu kutanthauza ‘Mulungu Wamuyaya.’ Abrahamu anamupatsa Atate wathu dzina ili ku Beeriseba — wamuyaya amene malonjezo ake a pangano akhazikika mpaka mibadwo yonse. ³⁴Ndipo Abrahamu anakhala m'dziko la Afilisti masiku ambiri.
