12 Jehova watsi ku-Abrama: “Phuma eveni lakini, ushiye tihlobo takho nendlu yababe wakho, uye eveni lengitakukhombisa lona.+ 2 Ngitakwenta ube sive lesikhulu, ngikubusise, ngente nelibito lakho latiwe kakhulu, futsi utawuba sibusiso kulabanye.+ 3 Ngitawubabusisa labo labakubusisako, ngibacalekise labo labakucalekisako,+ futsi tonkhe tive letisemhlabeni titawubusiswa* ngawe.”+

5 Ngeke usabitwa ngekutsi ungu-Abrama,* kodvwa libito lakho sekutawuba ngu-Abrahama,* ngobe ngitawenta kutsi ube ngubabe wetive letinyenti. 6 Ngitawenta bantfwana bakho babe banyenti kakhulu, futsi kuwe kutawuvela tive letinyenti kanye nemakhosi lamanyenti.+

17 nakanjani ngitakubusisa futsi intalelwane* yakho ngitayandzisa ibe ngangetinkhanyeti tasemazulwini, nangangesihlabatsi lesiselugwini lwelwandle,+ futsi intalelwane* yakho itawutsatsa emadolobha* etitsa tayo.+ 18 Tonkhe tive temhlaba titawubusiswa* ngentalelwane*+ yakho, ngobe wena ulilalele livi lami.’”+
