7 Jehova wabese ubonakala ku-Abrama, futsi watsi kuye: “Lelive ngitalinika bantfwana* bakho.”+ Ngako Abrama wakhela Jehova li-al’thare kuleyo ndzawo, ngobe kulapho abonakala khona kuye.

13 Ngemuva kwaloko, Nkulunkulu watsi ku-Abrama: “Yati kutsi bantfwana* bakho batawuba bantfu bekuhamba eveni lelingasilo labo, futsi bantfu bakulelo live batabagcilata baphindze babahluphe iminyaka lengu-400.+ 14 Kodvwa leso sive ngitawusehlulela,+ bese bantfwana bakho bayakhululeka futsi bahambe netintfo letinyenti.+

24 Ngekuhamba kwesikhatsi, Nkulunkulu wakuva kukhala kwawo,+ wasikhumbula nesivumelwane lasenta na-Abrahama, Isaka naJakobe.+

5 Akusiko kutsi nine nibantfu labalungile nobe kutsi nicotfo etinhlitiyweni tenu lokunenta ningene futsi nitsatse lelive lato. Kodvwa Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu uyaticosha embikwenu letive ngenca yebubi bato+ nangenca yekutsi Jehova ufuna kugcina livi lakhe lafunga ngalo kubokhokho benu, bo-Abrahama,+ Isaka+ naJakobe.+
