3 Kyenyiki, Mbalahamu wabalumuka mu kamenemene, wasokejeka o jumendu yê, wambata selevende jiyadi ni mon’ê Izake. Anga u xanga jihwínyi phala o sata ya kwoha, mukusuluka, wayi mu kididi kya mulondekesa o Nzambi yakidi. 4 Mu kizuwa kya katatu, Mbalahamu wabhetula o mesu, o kididi anga u kimwena dikanga. 5 Mbalahamu wambela-phe o jiselevende jê, wixi: “Xalenu bhenyabha ni jumendu, eme ni munzangala twandaya koko mubheza, kyoso ki tuvutuka tumisanga bhenyabha.”
6 Mbalahamu wakatula o jihwínyi ja sata ya kwoha yu wajibhana mon’ê Izake. Mukusuluka, wakatula o túbhya ni phoko, kiyadi kyâ anga aya kumoxi. 7 Izake-phe wambela tat’ê Mbalahamu wixi: “Papá!” Mbalahamu watambwijila: “Zwelé mon’ami!” Izake wasuluka: “O túbhya twenyutu, o jihwínyi we jenyiji. Maji-phe o mbudi phala o sata ya kwoha yala kwebhi? 8 Mbalahamu wa mutambwijila: “Mon’ami, Nzambi mwéne wanda tubhana o mbudi phala o sata ya kwoha.” Kiyadi kyâ anga asuluka ni kwenda kumoxi.

Wakutu o maku ni inama ya mon’ê Izake, anga u mutula ku kalatódyu, ku thandu a jihwínyi. 10 Mbalahamu anga u sununa o lukwaku, u kwata o phoko phala kujibha mon’ê. 11 Maji o anju ya Jihova yamwixana tunde ku dyulu, ixi: “Mbalahamu, Mbalahamu!” Mwene watambwijila: “Emyú!” 12 O anju yamwambela: “Kana kujibha o mona! Kana ku mubhanga kima , mukonda, kindala ngejiya kya kwila, u xila Nzambi, mukonda kuditunu ku ngibhana mon’é, mon’é umoxi-élele. 13 Kyenyiki, Mbalahamu wabhetula o mesu yu wamono mbudi bhwa zukama, yanaminine o jingela mu kisasa. Bhenyobho Mbalahamu wayi-ku, wakwata o mbudi yu wa i bhakula kala sata ya kwoha bhu kididi kya mon’ê. 14 Kididi kyenyokyo, Mbalahamu anga u kiluka o dijina dya Jihova-jile.* Kala kyene muzwela kate mu izuwa ya lelu, kwila: “Ku mulundu wa Jihova, mwene u bhana.”
15 O anju ya Jihova anga ixana Mbalahamu lwa kayadi tunde ku dyulu, 16 i yambe: “‘Ngilôka mu dijina dyami,’ kyene kyambe Jihova, ‘kwila, kuma wabhange kiki, kuditunu ku ngibhana mon’é, o mon’é umoxi-élele, 17 nganda kubesowala ni kusokolola o mbutu yé kala o jithéthembwa ku dyulu, kala o museke bhu mbandu a kalunga. O mbutu yé ya kà tolola ni kutambula o mbanza* ya jinguma jê. 18 O ifuxi yoso mu ngongo a kà i besowala bhukaxi ka mbutu yé, mukonda eye wevu o dízwi dyami.’”
19 Mbalahamu anga u vutuka bhwa kexile o jiselevende jê anga aya kumoxi ku Beleseba. Mbalahamu wasuluka ni kutunga ku Beleseba.

Yá ene o dinake dya ana avwala Milika ni Naholo, phang’yâ Mbalahamu. 24 O mukama* wê dijina dyê Lewuma, wa muvwalela we twana. Enyá: Teba, Ngahama, Tahaxi ni Mahaka.
