Ule anabwera kuna Abhrahamu pano ndi Baba wathu, ule akhasaka ana ace mwa ufuni ndzidzi onsene. ²Iye adazumula maso mbaona amuna atatu akhaima cifupi na iye. Pidaaona iye, athamanga kubuluka pa nsuwo wa tenda yace toera kugumana nawo, mbagodama mpaka pantsi. ³Iye alonga tenepa: “Baba wanga Mambo, ndingakhala ndagumana nkhombo pamaso panu, ndaphata miyendo, lekani kupita mbamusiya ntumiki wanu. ⁴Mbabweriswe madzi mang'ono toera kusambisa miyendo yanu, mbamupuma pantsi pa muti. ⁵Mbandikwanise kubweresa phindi ya nkate toera mupumise mitima yanu, mbamupita; thangwi mwafika kuna ntumiki wanu.” Iwo atawira tenepa: “Cita ninga pidalonga iwe.”

⁶Abhrahamu athamanga mbapita n'tenda kuna Sara, mbalonga tenepa: “Cimbiza, kwata ufa wadidi wakukwana makilu khumi na m'bodzi, ukande, ucite nkate.” ⁷Abhrahamu athamanga kuenda ku nkumbi wa ng'ombe, mbakwata mwana wa ng'ombe wakufewa na wadidi, mbampereka kuna ntumiki, ule acimbiza toera kuusasanyira. ⁸Iye akwata mukaka wakufambuka, mukaka, na mwana wa ng'ombe udasasanyirwa, mbapiikha pamaso pa amuna, buluka penepo aima cifupi na iwo pantsi pa muti, mu ndzidzi ukhadya iwo.

⁹Iwo ambvundza tenepa: “Ali kupi Sara, nkazi wako?” Iye atawira tenepa: “Ali kule, n'tenda.”

¹⁰Na tenepo, Baba wathu alonga tenepa: “Mwandimomwene, Ine ndinabwerera kuna iwe mu ndzidzi ninga uno caka cinabwera, penepo Sara nkazi wako anadzakhala na mwana wa mamuna.” Sara akhabvesera pa nsuwo wa tenda, nduli mwace.

¹¹Abhrahamu na Sara akhali akulu, apita mu pyaka pizinji; Sara akhadasiya kuona miyezi. ¹²Sara aseka n'kati mwa ntima wace, mbalonga tenepa: “Pakumala kukalamba kwanga, ndinadzakhala na kutsandzaya, mbuya wanga mbakalambambo?”

¹³Na tenepo, Baba wathu apanga Abhrahamu: “Thangwi yanji Sara aseka, mbalonga: ‘Ndinadzabala mwana mwandimomwene, ine ndakalamba kale?’ ¹⁴Kodi kuna cinthu cakunentsa kuna Baba wako? Ine ndinabwerera kuna iwe mu ndzidzi wakukhazikiswa caka cinabwera, penepo Sara anadzakhala na mwana wa mamuna.”

¹⁵Sara alamba, mbalonga: “Nee ndaseka tayu,” thangwi iye akhagopa. Iye alonga tenepa: “Nkhabe, iwe waseka.”

²⁷Abhrahamu alonga tenepa: “Ine ndacita cipapo cakulonga na Baba wanga Mambo, maseze ndiri pfumbi na dota basi.

²⁸Nyerezerani penu anyakulungama makumi maxanu aperewera axanu. Kodi munadzafudza nzinda onsene thangwi ya axanu?” Na tenepo, Baba wathu alonga tenepa: “Ine nkhabe kuufudza ndingagumana makumi manai na axanu penepo.”

²⁹Abhrahamu alonga pontho kuna Iye tenepa: “Nyerezerani penu anagumanika makumi manai penepo.” Iye atawira tenepa: “Thangwi ya makumi manai, Ine nkhabe kucita pyenepi.”

³⁰Abhrahamu alonga tenepa: “Baba wanga Mambo, lekani kuipirwa, mbamundibvumize ndilonge. Nyerezerani penu anagumanika makumi matatu penepo.” Iye atawira tenepa: “Ine nkhabe kucita pyenepi ndingagumana makumi matatu penepo.”

³¹Abhrahamu alonga tenepa: “Nakuti ndacita cipapo cakulonga na Baba wanga Mambo, nyerezerani penu anagumanika makumi mawiri basi penepo.” Iye atawira tenepa: “Thangwi ya makumi mawiri, Ine nkhabe kuufudza.”

³²Na tenepo iye alonga tenepa: “Baba wanga Mambo, lekani kuipirwa, mbamundibvumize ndilonge kabodzi kokha pontho: nyerezerani penu anagumanika khumi basi penepo.” Na tenepo, Baba wathu atawira tenepa: “Thangwi ya khumi, Ine nkhabe kuufudza.”

³³Baba wathu pidamala Iye kulonga na Abhrahamu, aenda; Abhrahamu abwerera ku mbuto yace.
