Hanyuma inzara imujana muri Egiputa, aho avuga ko Sarayi ari mushiki wiwe kugira ngo arokore ubuzima bwiwe.
12 1Nuko Data wa twese abwira Aburamu ati: “Genda uve mu gihugu cawe, mu bantu bawe, no mu nzu ya so, uje mu gihugu nzokwereka. 2Nzogukura ngo ube ihanga rikomeye, kandi nzoguhezagira; nzohesha izina ryawe iteka, kugira ngo ube umugisha. 3Nzohezagira abaguhezagira, kandi uwukuvuma wese nzomuvuma; kandi muri wewe imiryango yose yo mw’isi izohezagirwa.” a a v3 Paulo ayita uwu murongo inkuru nziza yabwiwe Aburahamu imbere y’igihe — imiryango yose yo mw’isi ihezagirwa muri we, biranguka muri Yesu (Abagalatiya 3:8).
4Aburamu aragenda nk’uko Data wa twese yari yamubwiye, na Loti aragendana na we. Aburamu yari afise imyaka mirongo irindwi n’itanu igihe yava i Harani. 5Aburamu afata umugore wiwe Sarayi, n’umuhungu wa mwene wabo Loti, n’ivyo bari barunze vyose, n’abantu bari baronse i Harani, maze baja mu gihugu c’i Kanani, bashika mu gihugu c’i Kanani. 6Aburamu aca mu gihugu gushika ahitwa Shekemu, ku murinzi wa More. Muri ico gihe Abanyakanani ni bo bari muri ico gihugu.
7Maze Data wa twese abonekera Aburamu amubwira ati: “Uru rugingo nzoruha uruvyaro rwawe.” Nuko Aburamu yubakirayo igicaniro Data wa twese, we yari yamubonekeye. b b v7 Paulo asoma “uruvyaro” ng’aha nk’umuvyeyi umwe — Yesu — uwuhesha amahanga yose umugisha wa Aburahamu (Abagalatiya 3:16).
8Ava aho aja mu gihugu c’imisozi mu buseruko bwa Beteli, ashinga ihema ryiwe, Beteli iri mu burengero, Ayi iri mu buseruko. Yubakirayo igicaniro Data wa twese, asenga izina rya Data wa twese. 9Maze Aburamu abandanya urugendo rwiwe, aja mu bumanuko bwerekeza i Negebu.
Inzara n’inzira ijana i Misiri
10Kubera ko inzara yari yashikiye ico gihugu, Aburamu amanuka aja i Misiri kugira ngo abeyo, kuko inzara yari ikaze cane muri ico gihugu. 11Ashikiriye i Misiri, abwira umugore wiwe Sarayi ati: “Ndabizi ko uri umugore mwiza. 12N: Abanyamisiri nibakubona, bazovuga bati: ‘Uyu ni umugore wiwe,’ bace banyica, mugabo wewe bakureke uzime. 13Ndakwinginze, uvuge ko uri mushikanje, kugira ngo ngire amahoro kubera wewe, kandi mbeho ndi muzima ku bwawe.”
14Igihe Aburamu yinjira i Misiri, Abanyamisiri babona ko uwo mugore yari mwiza cane. 15Abakuru ba Farawo baramubona, baramushimira kuri Farawo, nuko uwo mugore ajanwa mu ngoro ya Farawo. 16Nuko agirira Aburamu neza ku bwiwe, Aburamu aronka intama, n’inka, n’indogoba z’abagabo n’iz’abakenyezi, n’abashumba n’abaja, n’ingamiya. 17Mugabo Data wa twese akubita Farawo n’abo mu nzu yiwe ibibazo bikaze kubera Sarayi, umugore wa Aburamu. 18Farawo ahamagara Aburamu, aramubwira ati: “Ni iki wangiriye? Ni kuki utambwiye ko ari umugore wawe? 19Ni kuki wavuze uti: ‘Ni mushikanje,’ nkamufata ngo abe umugore wanje? None dore umugore wawe—mutware ugende.”
20Nuko Farawo ategeka abantu biwe ivyerekeye Aburamu, baramurungika na we umugore wiwe n’ivyo yari afise vyose.
