Okukeketebwa ng’akamanhiso ak’Endagaano
1Aburamu bweyali ng’agheza emyaka kyenda na mwenda (99) egy’obukulu, Musengwa Katonda yamubonekera, yamukoba ati: “Ninze Katonda Aghanga Ebintu Byonabyona. Mpuliranga era okolenga ebituufu buliidho. 2Ndidha kukola endagaano yange n’iwe, era nkughe abaidhukulu kamaala.” 3Aburamu yaakutama n’ekyeni kyatuuka ku itaka. Katonda yaamukoba ati: 4“Bona, eno n’endagaano yange n’iwe: oidha kufuuka dhaadha ow’amaghanga kamaala. 5Tokairayo kwetebwa Aburamu, aye oidha kwetebwanga Aburahamu, kuba nkufiire dhaadha ow’amaghanga kamaala.17:5: Rom 4:17 6Ndidha kukugha abaidhukulu kamaala inho, baveemu amaghanga mangi era ni bakyabazinga baliva mu iwe. 7Era ndidha kutaagho endagaano yange n’iwe, era ni baidhukulu bo ab’omu nse dhoonadhoona edhiriiragho, ebenga ndagaano etawaagho. Ndidha kubanga Katonda wo, era Katonda wa baidhukulu bo.17:7: Luk 1:55; Gal 3:16 8Ndidha kukugha iwe ni baidhukulu bo ensi eno buti y’olimu ng’omusenze. Ensi yoonayoona Kanaani eidha kubanga ya baidhukulu bo ebyanda n’ebyanda era nze ndidha kubanga Katonda waibwe.”17:8: Bik 7:5
9Katonda yaakoba Aburahamu ati: “Agho ni, iwe oteekwa okukuuma endagaano yange, iwe mwene era ni baidhukulu bo ab’omu nse edhiriiragho. 10Eno n’endagaano iwe y’oteekwa okukuuma ni baidhukulu bo abalikwiririra: buli musaadha mu imwe anaakeketebwanga.17:10: Bik 7:8 11Anaakeketebwanga oluwutu olw’omubiri gwe ako n’akanaabanga akamanhiso ak’endagaano yange n’imwe.17:11-14: Mainh 17:24; 21:4 12Kiisi mwana mulenzi azaalibwa mu imwe mu nse dhoonadhoona, bw’anaaghezanga enaku omunaana munaamukeketanga, ni bw’anaabanga omwiru eyazaalirwa mu ndhu dhaimwe oba omwiru ye mwagula obugule ku bantu ab’endha. 13Oyo anaazaalirwanga mu ndhu dhaimwe era n’oyo ye munaagulanga obugule, boonaboona bateekwa okukeketebwa. Ako kabe akamanhiso ak’oku mubiri akooleka ng’endagaano yange n’imwe bw’etaliwaagho. 14Omusaadha yeenayeena atali mukekete, ataakeketebwa luwutu lwa mubiri gwe, aidha kwawulwanga ku bantu be, kuba anaabanga amenhie endagaano yange.”
15Era Katonda yaakoba Aburahamu ati: “Ate mukazi wo Sarai, tokaamweta Sarai, aye oidha kumwetanga Sara. 16Ndidha kumugha enkabi akuzaalire omwana omulenzi. Ndidha kumugha enkabi abe inhina ow’amaghanga era bakyabazinga baidha kusimukanga mu oyo.” 17Aburahamu yaakutama, n’ekyeni kyatuuka ku itaka. Era yaaseka yeebuuza mule ati: “Bwenebwene omusaadha ow’emyaka ekikumi aghanga okuzaala omwana? Era ni Sara ow’emyaka ekyenda anaaghanga okuzaala?” 18Agho yaakoba Katonda ati: “Wo, ngoli oghaire Ishimaeli enkabi.” 19Aye Katonda yairamu ati: “Busa. Mukazi wo Sara aidha kukuzaalira omwana mulenzi, iwe omutuume eriina Isaaka. Ndidha kukola naye endagaano yange etakoma, era ni baidhukulu be abalimwiririra. 20Era Ishimaeli yeena ndidha kumugha by’osabye: ndidha kumugha enkabi azaale abaana kamaala, era afune n’abaidhukulu kamaala. Aidha kuzaala abalangira ikumi na babiri, era ndidha kumufuulamu eighanga ery’amaani. 21Aye endagaano yange ndidha kugitaagho ni Isaaka, oyo Sara y’aidha okukuzaalira mu biseera bino, mu mwaka ogwidha.” 22Olwamala okwogera ni Aburahamu, Katonda yaavaagho, yaaja ghaigulu.
23Ku lunaku lwene olwo Aburahamu yaatuukiriza ekiragiro kya Katonda, yaatwala omwana we Ishimaeli yaamukeketa oluwutu olw’oku mubiri gwe. Era yaakola atyo ni ku basaadha boonaboona ab’omu ndhu ye omwo nga n’omuli n’abairu abaazaalirwa mu ndhu ye, era n’abairu abo be yagula obugule. 24Aburahamu ghe baamukeketera yali ng’agheza emyaka kyenda na mwenda egy’obukulu 25ate omwana we Ishimaeli yali ng’agheza emyaka ikumi n’esatu. 26Bombi baakeketebwa ku lunaku lwene olwo, 27ghalala n’abasaadha boonaboona ab’omu ndhu ya Aburahamu omwo nga n’omuli n’abairu abaazaalirwa mu ndhu ye, era n’abairu abo be yagula obugule ku bantu ab’endha.
