Genese 12:1-20
12 Pashishe Yehowa wakambila Abalama ne: “Umbuka mu buloba buenu, uye kule ne balela bebe ne nzubu wa tatuebe, uye ku buloba bungakuleja.+
2 Nenkuvuije tshisamba tshinene, nenkubeneshe, nemvuije dîna diebe dinene, ne neulue dibenesha.+
3 Nembeneshe badi bakubenesha, kadi muntu udi ukujingila diakabi nemmuele mulawu;+ bulelela, mêku onso a pa buloba neabeneshibue* ku diambuluisha diebe.”+
4 Nunku Abalama wakaya anu muvua Yehowa mumuambile, ne Lota wakaya nende. Abalama uvua ne bidimu 75 pakumbukaye mu Halana.+
5 Abalama wakangata mukajende Salai+ ne Lota muana wa muanabu+ ne bintu bionso bivuabu bapete+ ne bantu* bonso bavuabu bapete mu Halana, ne bakasa luendu batangile mu buloba bua Kanâna.+ Pakafikabu mu buloba bua Kanâna,
6 Abalama wakendakana mu buloba abu too ne ku muaba udibu babikila ne: Shekeme,+ pabuipi ne mitshi minene ya Mole.+ Tshikondo atshi bena Kanâna batshivua mu buloba abu.
7 Pashishe Yehowa wakamuenekela Abalama, kumuambilaye ne: “Nempeshe bana* bebe+ buloba ebu.”+ Nunku wakashilaku Yehowa uvua mumumuenekele tshioshelu.
8 Pashishe wakumbukaku, kuyaye ku buloba bua mikuna ku est kua Betele,+ kuasaye ntenta wende, Betele muikale ku ouest, ne Ai+ ku est. Wakashilaku Yehowa+ tshioshelu, kutuadijaye kubila dîna dia Yehowa.+
9 Pakapita matuku, Abalama wakamuangala, kuyaye mutangile ku Negebe,+ wenda utudila miaba mishilashilangane.
10 Tshiyole tshia nzala tshiakabuela mu buloba abu, ke Abalama kupueka mu Ejipitu bua kusombelamu bua tshikondo kampanda,*+ bualu tshiyole tshia nzala tshivua mu buloba abu tshivua tshipite bukole.+
11 Pakavuaye pa kubuela mu Ejipitu, wakambila mukajende Salai ne: “Nteleja koku. Ndi mumanye ne: udi mukaji muimpe kumona.+
12 Nunku pakumona bena Ejipitu, nebambe kakuyi mpata ne: ‘Eu mmukajende.’ Nunku nebanshipe, kadi nebakushiye wewe ne muoyo.
13 Wambe koku ne: udi muanetu wa bakaji, bua malu anyi apitaku bimpe mu wewe, nunku muoyo wanyi newupanduke.”*+
14 Diakamue pakabuela Abalama mu Ejipitu, bena Ejipitu bakamona ne: mukaji au uvua muimpe be!
15 Bakokeshi ba mua Palô bakamumona pabu, kutuadijabu kumutumbisha kumpala kua Palô, nunku bakaya ne mukaji au ku nzubu kua Palô.
16 Yeye kuenzela Abalama malu mimpe bua bualu bua mukaji; Abalama kupetaye mikoko, ngombe, mpunda milume ne mikaji, bena mudimu ba balume ne ba bakaji, ne tumelu.+
17 Pashishe Yehowa wakakengesha Palô ne ba mu nzubu muende ne bipupu bikole bua bualu bua Salai mukaji wa Abalama.+
18 Nunku Palô wakabikila Abalama, kumuambilaye ne: “Tshiudi mungenzele ntshinyi? Bua tshinyi kuvua mungambile ne: mmukajebe?
19 Bua tshinyi uvua muambe ne: ‘Mmuanetu wa bakaji’?+ Panyi nkavua musue kumuvuija mukajanyi. Mukajebe nyeye eu. Muangata, uye!”
20 Nunku Palô wakatumina bantu bende dîyi bua bualu buende, ne bakamulekela bua aye yeye ne mukajende ne bionso bivuaye nabi.+
