“Usaope Abramu.
Ine ndili ngati chishango chokutchinjiriza.
Mphotho yako idzakhala yayikulu.”
2 Koma Abramu anati, “Haa! Ambuye Yehova, mukhoza kundipatsa chiyani popeza ndikanali wopanda mwana ndipo amene adzatenge chuma changa ndi Eliezara wa ku Damasiko? 3 Inu simunandipatse ana kotero kuti wantchito wa ku nyumba kwanga ndiye amene adzalowe mʼmalo mwanga.”
4 Yehova anayankhula naye nati: “Munthu uyu sadzalowa mʼmalo mwako, koma mwana wako weniweni wamwamuna, wobereka wekha ndiye adzalowe mʼmalo mwako.” 5 Yehova anapita naye Abramu panja nati, “Tayangʼana kumwambaku, ndipo chifukwa cha chimenechi uwerenge nyenyezi ngati ungathe kuziwerenga.” Ndipo anamuwuza kuti, “Ndi mmene adzakhalire ana ako ndi zidzukulu zako.”
6 Abramu anakhulupirira Yehova, ndipo ichi chinamuchititsa kukhala wolungama.
7 Ndipo anamuwuza kuti, “Ine ndine Yehova amene ndinakuchotsa iwe ku mzinda wa Uri wa ku Akaldeya kuti ndikupatse dziko ili kuti likhale lako.”
8 Koma Abramu anati, “Haa! Ambuye Yehova, kodi ndingadziwe bwanji kuti lidzakhaladi langa?”
9 Kotero Yehova anati kwa iye, “Kanditengere kamsoti kangʼombe ka zaka zitatu, kamsoti ka mbuzi ka zaka zitatu, ndi nkhosa yayimuna ya zaka zitatu pamodzi ndi nkhunda ndi kamwana ka njiwa.”
10 Abramu anabweretsadi zonsezi nadula chilichonse pakati nʼkuzindandalika, chidutswa chilichonse kuyangʼanana ndi chinzake; koma njiwa ndi nkhunda sanazidule pakati. 11 Pamene miphamba inabwera kuti itole nyama ija, Abramu anayipirikitsa.
12 Pamene dzuwa limalowa Abramu anagona tulo tofa nato ndipo mdima wandiweyani ndi wochititsa mantha unamuphimba.
17 Dzuwa litalowa ndipo mdima utagwa, panaoneka mʼphika wofuka nthunzi ya moto ndi sakali yoyaka ndipo zinadutsa pakati pa zidutswa za nyama zija. 18 Pa tsiku limenelo, Yehova anachita pangano ndi Abramu nati, “Ndikulonjeza kuti ndidzapereka dziko ili kwa zidzukulu zako, kuchokera ku mtsinje wa ku Igupto mpaka ku mtsinje waukulu wa Yufurate.

2 Pamene anthu oyipa abwera kudzalimbana nane

ndipo zikundiopseza.
13 Ine ndikutsimikiza mtima za zimenezi;
