24 ¹Zvino Abhurahama akanga akwegura, ava namakore mazhinji, uye Baba vedu vakanga vakaropafadza Abhurahama pazvinhu zvose. ²Abhurahama akati kumuranda wake mukuru, aitarisira zvose zvaaiva nazvo, “Ndapota isa ruoko rwako pasi pechidya changu, ^a a v2 Kuisa ruoko pasi pechidya kwaiva mutoo wekare wokusimbisa mhiko inokosha, inosunga. ³ndichakuita kuti upike naBaba vedenga nenyika, kuti urege kutorera mwanakomana wangu mukadzi pavanasikana vevaKenani, vandinogara pakati pavo, ⁴asi uende kunyika yangu nokuhama dzangu, undotorera mwanakomana wangu Isaka mukadzi.”

⁵Muranda akamubvunza akati, “Ko kana mukadzi akasada kunditevera kunyika ino? Ndinofanira kudzorera mwanakomana wenyu kunyika yamakabva here?”

⁶Abhurahama akati kwaari, “Chenjera kuti urege kudzorera mwanakomana wangu ikoko. ⁷Baba vedu, Baba vedenga, vakanditora mumba mababa vangu nomunyika yehama dzangu, avo vakataura kwandiri uye vakandipikira vachiti, ‘Ndichapa nyika iyi kuvana vako’—ivo vachatuma mutumwa wavo pamberi pako, uye uchatorera mwanakomana wangu mukadzi ikoko. ⁸Asi kana akasada kukutevera, unosunungurwa pamhiko iyi yangu; chete usadzorera mwanakomana wangu ikoko.”

⁹Muranda akaisa ruoko rwake pasi pechidya chaAbhurahama tenzi wake, akamupikira pamusoro peizvi. ¹⁰Muranda akatora ngamera dzine gumi dzatenzi wake, nezvinhu zvose zvakanaka zvatenzi wake muruoko rwake, akasimuka akaenda kuAramu-naharaimu, guta raNahori. ^b b v10 Aramu-naharaimu zvinoreva kuti “Aramu yenzizi mbiri” — dunhu riri kuchamhembe kweMesopotamiya uko hama dzaAbhurahama dzakanga dzichiri kugara. ¹¹Akaita kuti ngamera dzipfugame kunze kweguta pedyo netsime remvura panguva yamadekwana, panguva inobuda vakadzi kunochera mvura. ¹²Ipapo akanyengetera achiti, “Baba vatenzi wangu Abhurahama, ndapota ndipei kubudirira nhasi, uye ratidzai rudo rwenyu rwakatendeka kuna tenzi wangu Abhurahama. ¹³Tarirai, ndimire pedyo nechitubu chemvura, uye vanasikana vevarume veguta vari kubuda kuzochera mvura. ¹⁴Musikana wandichati kwaari, ‘Ndapota rereka chirongo chako kuti ndinwe’—iye achapindura achiti, ‘Inwai, uye ndichanwisawo ngamera dzenyu’—ngaave iye wamakasarudzira muranda wenyu Isaka. Ndipo pandichaziva nazvo kuti maratidza rudo rwakatendeka kuna tenzi wangu.”

¹⁵Asati apedza kutaura, Rabheka akabuda—mwanasikana waBhetueri, mwanakomana waMirika, mukadzi waNahori, mununʼuna waAbhurahama—ane chirongo chake papfudzi rake. ¹⁶Musikana uyu akanga akanaka kwazvo, mhandara yakanga isati yamboziviwa nomurume. Akaburuka akaenda kuchitubu, akazadza chirongo chake, akakwira. ¹⁷Muranda akamhanya kundosangana naye, achiti, “Ndapota nditendere ndinwe mvura shoma kubva muchirongo chako.”

¹⁸Akati, “Inwai, ishe wangu,” akabva akurumidza kuburutsa chirongo chake papfudzi rake, akamupa kuti anwe. ¹⁹Akati apedza kumupa kuti anwe, akati, “Ndichanwisawo ngamera dzenyu mvura, kusvikira dzapedza kunwa.” ²⁰Akakurumidza kudurura chirongo chake mumudziyo wokunwira, akamhanyazve kutsime, akachera mvura yengamera dzake dzose.

²¹Murume uyu akamutarisa akanyarara, kuti azive kana Baba vedu vakanga vaita kuti rwendo rwake rubudirire, kana kuti kwete. ²²Ngamera dzakati dzapedza kunwa, murume uyu akatora chindori chegoridhe chomumhino chairema anenge chikamu chimwe kubva muzvishanu cheauzi, nezvishongo zviviri zvegoridhe zvamaoko ake zvairema anenge maauzi mana, ²³akati, “Uri mwanasikana waani? Ndapota ndiudze, mumba mababa vako mune nzvimbo here yokuti tivatemo?”

²⁴Akamupindura akati, “Ndiri mwanasikana waBhetueri, mwanakomana waMirika waakaberekera Nahori.” ²⁵Akatizve, “Tine uswa hwakawanda nezvokudya zvemombe, uye nzvimbo yokuvata.”

²⁶Ipapo murume uyu akakotama akanamata Baba vedu. ²⁷Akati, “Ngavarumbidzwe Baba vedu, Baba vatenzi wangu Abhurahama, vasina kurega rudo rwavo rwakatendeka nokutendeka kwavo kuna tenzi wangu. Kana ndirini, Baba vakanditungamirira murwendo rwokuenda kumba kwehama dzatenzi wangu.”

²⁸Ipapo musikana uyu akamhanya akaudza veimba yamai vake pamusoro peizvi. ²⁹Zvino Rabheka akanga ane hanzvadzi yainzi Rabhani, Rabhani akamhanya achibuda kuenda kumurume uya pachitubu. ³⁰Akati aona chindori chomumhino nezvishongo zvaiva pamaoko ehanzvadzi yake, uye achinzwa hanzvadzi yake Rabheka ichiti, “Murume uyu andiudza izvi,” akabuda akaenda kumurume uya—onei amire pedyo nengamera pachitubu. ³¹Akati, “Pindai, imi makaropafadzwa naMwari. Munomirireiko panze? Ndagadzirira imba nenzvimbo yengamera.” ³²Murume uyu akapinda mumba, ngamera dzikaburutswa mitoro. Uswa nezvokudya zvakapiwa kungamera, nemvura yokushambidza tsoka dzake netsoka dzavarume vaaiva navo. ³³Zvokudya zvakaiswa pamberi pake, asi akati, “Handidyi kusvikira ndataura zvandinofanira kutaura.” Rabhani akati, “Taurai henyu.”

³⁴Saka akati, “Ndiri muranda waAbhurahama. ³⁵Baba vedu vakaropafadza tenzi wangu zvikuru, vakamuita mupfumi, vakamupa makwai nemombe, sirivha negoridhe, varandarume nevarandakadzi, ngamera nembongoro. ³⁶Sara, mukadzi watenzi wangu, vakamuberekera mwanakomana pakukwegura kwavo; Abhurahama akapa Isaka zvose zvaainazvo. ³⁷Tenzi wangu akandipikisa achiti, ‘Usatorera mwanakomana wangu mukadzi pavakadzi vevaKenani vandinogara munyika yavo, ³⁸asi uende kumba kwababa vangu, kuhama dzangu, undotorera mwanakomana wangu mukadzi.’ ³⁹Ndakati kuna tenzi wangu, ‘Zvimwe mukadzi haangaditeveri.’ ⁴⁰Asi akati kwandiri, ‘Baba vedu, vandakafamba pamberi pavo, vachatuma mutumwa wavo pamwe chete newe uye vachaita kuti rwendo rwako rubudirire, uye uchatorera mwanakomana wangu mukadzi parudzi rwangu nomumba mababa vangu. ⁴¹Ipapo uchasunungurwa pamhiko yangu kana wasvika kuhama dzangu; kana vakaramba kukupa iye, uchasunungurwa pamhiko yangu.’ ⁴²Nhasi pandasvika pachitubu, ndakati, ‘Baba vatenzi wangu Abhurahama, kana muchiita kuti rwendo rwangu rubudirire, ⁴³tarirai, ndimire pedyo nechitubu chemvura. Saka kana musikana achibuda kuzochera mvura ndoti kwaari, “Ndapota ndipe mvura shoma kubva muchirongo chako kuti ndinwe,” ⁴⁴iye achibva ati kwandiri, “Inwai, uye ndichanwisawo ngamera dzenyu”—iye ngaave mukadzi wakasarudzwa naBaba vedu kuti ave womwanakomana watenzi wangu.’ ⁴⁵Ndisati ndapedza kunyengetera mumwoyo mangu, Rabheka akabuda, ane chirongo chake papfudzi rake, akaburuka kuchitubu, akachera mvura. Ndakati kwaari, ‘Ndapota nditendere ndinwe.’ ⁴⁶Akakurumidza kuburutsa chirongo chake papfudzi rake, akati, ‘Inwai—ndichanwisawo ngamera dzenyu.’ Saka ndakanwa, iye akanwisawo ngamera. ⁴⁷Ndakabvunza, ‘Uri mwanasikana waani?’ Akati, ‘Mwanasikana waBhetueri, mwanakomana waNahori, waakaberekerwa naMirika.’ Ipapo ndakaisa chindori mumhino make nezvishongo pamaoko ake. ⁴⁸Ndakakotama ndikanamata Baba vedu, ndikarumbidza Baba vatenzi wangu Abhurahama, vakanditungamirira munzira yechokwadi kuti nditore mwanasikana wehama yatenzi wangu kuti ave womwanakomana wavo. ⁴⁹Zvino, kana muchida kuitira tenzi wangu rudo rwakatendeka nechokwadi, ndiudzei; kana zvisizvo, ndiudzei, kuti ndikwanise kutendeukira kurudyi kana kuruboshwe.”

⁵⁰Rabhani naBhetueri vakapindura vakati, “Izvi zvinobva kuna Mwari; hatingagoni kutaura chakanaka kana chakaipa. ⁵¹Rabheka ari pamberi penyu; mutorei muende naye—ngaave mukadzi womwanakomana watenzi wenyu, sezvakataurwa naBaba vedu.”

⁵²Muranda waAbhurahama akati anzwa mashoko avo, akakotamira pasi pamberi paBaba vedu. ⁵³Muranda akabudisa zvinhu zvesirivha nezvegoridhe nenguo, akazvipa Rabheka, akapa zvipo zvinokosha kuhanzvadzi yake namai vake. ⁵⁴Iye navarume vaaiva navo vakadya, vakanwa, vakavata ipapo. Mangwanani vakamuka, iye akati, “Nditumirei kuna tenzi wangu.”

⁵⁵Asi hanzvadzi yake namai vake vakati, “Musikana ngaagare nesu mazuva anenge gumi; ipapo angaenda hake.”

⁵⁶Asi iye akati, “Musandinonotsa—Baba vedu vaita kuti rwendo rwangu rubudirire. Nditumirei, ndiende kuna tenzi wangu.”

⁵⁷Vakati, “Ngatidane musikana timubvunze pamusoro paizvozvo.” ⁵⁸Vakadana Rabheka vakamubvunza vachiti, “Uchaenda nomurume uyu here?” Akati, “Ndichaenda.”

⁵⁹Saka vakaendesa hanzvadzi yavo Rabheka nomureri wake, pamwe chete nomuranda waAbhurahama navarume vake. ⁶⁰Vakaropafadza Rabheka vachiti, “Hanzvadzi yedu, dai ukava mai vezviuru nezviuru; dai vana vako vakakunda maguta aavo vanovavenga.” ^c c v60 Kubata gedhi romuvengi kwaireva kubata simba rake; kuropafadza uku kunonyengeterera kuti vazukuru vaRabheka vachakunda avo vanovapikisa.

⁶¹Rabheka navarandakadzi vake vakasimuka, vakakwira ngamera, vakatevera murume uya. Saka muranda akatora Rabheka akaenda.

⁶²Zvino Isaka akanga achibva kuBheeri-rahai-roi, nokuti aigara kuNegevhi. ⁶³Isaka akabuda kundofungisisa musango panguva yamadekwana; akati asimudza meso, akaona ngamera dzichiuya. ⁶⁴Rabheka akasimudzawo meso, akati aona Isaka, akaburuka pangamera yake. ⁶⁵Akabvunza muranda, “Ndiani murume uya ari kufamba achiyambuka sango achiuya kuzosangana nesu?” Iye akapindura akati, “Ndiye tenzi wangu.” Saka akatora chifukidziro chake akazvifukidza.

⁶⁶Ipapo muranda akaudza Isaka zvose zvaakanga aita. ⁶⁷Isaka akamupinza mutende ramai vake Sara, akawana Rabheka, akamuda. Saka Isaka akanyaradzwa shure kworufu rwamai vake.
