Ukhakwanisa tani kulonga: ‘Ndi m'bale wanga’?” Izaki ampanga: “Thangwi ndanyerezera kuti mbendaphiwa thangwi ya iye.”

¹⁷Natenepo Izaki abuluka penepo mbamanga misasa m'cigwa ca Gerari, mbakhala penepo. ¹⁸Izaki akumbanso micera ya madzi idakumbwa mu ntsiku za babace Abrahamu, idadzadzwa dongo na Afilisti pakumala kufa kwa Abrahamu, mbaicemera na madzina adaicemera nawo babace. ¹⁹Mbwenye atumiki a Izaki pidakumba iwo m'cigwa, agumana penepo ncera wa madzi akutsutsuma, ²⁰akumbizi a Gerari akakana na akumbizi a Izaki, mbalonga: “Madzi awa ndi athu.” Iye acemera ncera unoyu Eseki, thangwi iwo akhakakana naye. ^a a v20 Dzina Eseki isabveka “kukakana.” ²¹Penepo akumba ncera unango, mbakakanambo thangwi ya unowu, natenepo aucemera Sitina. ^b b v21 Dzina Sitina isabveka “kutcingana.” ²²Buluka penepo iye afuluka mbakumba ncera unango; aukakana tayu thangwi ya unowu, natenepo aucemera Rehoboti, mbalonga: “Cincino Baba wathu atipasa mbuto; tinadzabala n'dziko muno.” ^c c v22 Dzina Rehoboti isabveka “mbuto” peno “mbuto zakufutuka.”

²³Buluka penepo iye akwira ku Berisheba.

²⁴Masiku eneo Baba wathu aonekera kuna iye mbalonga: “Ine ndine Mulungu wa babako Abrahamu. Leka kugopa, thangwi ndiri na iwe. Ndinakupasa nkhombo mbandithimizira mbeu yako, thangwi ya ntumiki wanga Abrahamu.”

Cincino ndiwe wakupaswa nkhombo na Mulungu.’”

³⁰Natenepo Izaki aacitira phwando, iwo adya mbamwa. ³¹Mangwana mwace namacibese iwo alapirana cilapo; Izaki aabulusa, iwo asiyana naye mu ntendere. ³²Ntsiku ineyi atumiki a Izaki abwera mbampanga thangwi ya ncera udakumba iwo, mbalonga: “Tagumana madzi!” ³³Natenepo aucemera Shiba; thangwi ineyi dzina ya nzinda ndi Berisheba mpaka lero. ^d d v33 Shiba isabveka ‘cilapo’; Berisheba isabveka ‘ncera wa cilapo.’
