Kwatsi Abrama nasaneminyaka lengema-99 budzala, Simakadze wabonakala kuye watsi: “NginguNkulunkulu Somandla; hamba entsandvweni yami, ube msulwa.

Libito lakho lingeke lisaba ngu-Abrama, kodvwa selitawuba ngu-Abrahama, ngobe sengikwente uyise wetive letinyenti.

“Ngiyawumisa sivumelwane sami nawe nentalo yakho, emvakwakho, etitukulwaneni ngetitukulwane, kube sivumelwane saphakadze. Ngiyawuba nguNkulunkulu wakho naNkulunkulu wetitukulwane takho emvakwakho.

“Nasi-ke sivumelwane sami nawe: Uyawuba nguyise wetive letinyenti.

Kepha Nkulunkulu watsi: “Cha, Sara, umkakho, utakutalela indvodzana, uyetse libito utsi ngu-Isaka. Ngitawumisa sivumelwane sami naye nentalo yakhe kube sivumelwane saphakadze.

Lelive lewusihambi kulo ngiyawulinika wena netitukulwane takho emvakwakho. Lonkhe lelive laseKhenani liyawuba letitukulwane takho, libe lifa lato phakadze naphakadze, mine ngiyawuba nguNkulunkulu wato.”

Abrahama wakhotsamisa buso bakhe, batsintsa phansi, wahleka, akhuluma yedvwana enhlitiyweni atsi: “Konje kungenteka yini kutsi indvodza itale umntfwana seyineminyaka lelikhulu budzala? Kona kungenteka yini kutsi Sara atale umntfwana asaneminyaka lengema-90?”

Nkulunkulu watsi ku-Abrahama: “Ungabe usambita umkakho ngekutsi nguSarayi, kodvwa ubosale utsi nguSara.

Niyawusoka; loko kuyawuba luphawu lwesivumelwane sami nani.

Kepha ngiyawumisa sivumelwane sami na-Isaka, latakutalela yena Sara ngaso lesikhatsi ngemnyaka lotako.”

Losanemalanga lasiphohlongo atelwe, niyawumsoka: Bonkhe labadvuna kuto tonkhe titukulwane tenu, ngisho nabo bonkhe labatalelwe kakho nalabatsengwe ngemali yakho etihambini tetive letingesito takini. Lowo lotalelwe endlini yakho nalotsengiwe, bonkhe kufanele basokwe. Ngako-ke lesivumelwane siyawubasemtimbeni wenu, kube sivumelwane saphakadze.
