24 Abalahama ukavua mukulakaje, muikale ne bidimu bia bungi, ne Yehowa uvua mubeneshe Abalahama mu malu onso.+
2 Abalahama wakambila muena mudimu wende uvua mukulumpe ku ba mu nzubu muende bonso uvua utangila bintu bionso bivuaye nabi+ ne: “Ndi nkulomba bua wele tshianza tshiebe muinshi mua tshibelu tshianyi,
3 ne nenkutshipishe mu dîna dia Yehowa, Nzambi wa diulu ne Nzambi wa buloba, bua kuangatshidi muananyi wa balume mukaji mu bana ba bakaji ba bena Kanâna badi muaba undi musombele eu to.+
4 Kadi udi ne bua kuya mu ditunga dietu, kudi balela banyi+ bua wangatshile muananyi Izaka mukaji.”
5 Kadi muena mudimu wakamuambila ne: “Mukaji au yeye kayi musue kulua nanyi mu buloba ebu, nengenze tshinyi? Dîba adi, ndi ne bua kupingaja muanebe mu buloba buuvua mufumine anyi?”+
6 Ke Abalahama kumuambila ne: “Wadimuka bua kupingaji muananyi kuntu aku to.+
7 Yehowa Nzambi wa mu diulu uvua mungumbushe mu nzubu wa tatu wanyi, mu buloba bua balela banyi,+ ne uvua muakule nanyi uditshipa kundi, wamba+ ne: ‘Nempeshe bana* bebe+ buloba ebu,’+ neatume muanjelu wende kumpala kuebe,+ ne wewe newangatshile muananyi wa balume mukaji kuntu aku.+
8 Kadi mukaji au yeye kayi musue kulua nebe, neusuluke ku mutshipu eu. Kadi kuena ne bua kuya ne muananyi kuntu aku nansha.”
9 Ke muena mudimu kuela tshianza tshiende muinshi mua tshibelu tshia mfumuende Abalahama, kuditshipaye kudiye bua bualu ebu.+
10 Nunku muena mudimu au wakangata tumelu dikumi tua mfumuende, kuyaye, muambule bintu bimpe bia mishindu yonso bia kudi mfumuende. Pashishe wakaya ku Mezopotamia mu tshimenga tshia Nahô.
11 Wakasombesha tumelu panshi ku tshina tshia mâyi pambelu pa tshimenga. Tukavua ku mêba a dilolo, dîba ditu bantu bakaji bapatuka bua kusuna mâyi.
12 Ke yeye kuamba ne: “Yehowa Nzambi wa mfumuanyi Abalahama, ndi nkulomba bua untutshishaku diakalenga lelu eu, ulejaku mfumuanyi Abalahama dinanga diebe dia lulamatu.
13 Ndi muimane muaba eu ku mpokolo wa mâyi, kabidi nsongakaji ya bantu ba mu tshimenga idi ipatuka bua kusuna mâyi.
14 Bienzeke koku ne: nsongakaji undi ngambila ne: ‘Tulaku mulondo webe wa mâyi bua nnuaku’ ne wangandamuna ne: ‘Nuaku mâyi, nennuishe kabidi tumelu tuebe,’ ikalaku uudi musunguile muena mudimu webe Izaka; nunku nemmanye ne: udi muleje mfumuanyi dinanga diebe dia lulamatu.”
15 Kumpala mene kua kujikijaye kuakula, Lebeka, muana wa Betuele+ muana wa Mileka+ mukaji wa Nahô+ muanabu ne Abalahama, wakapatuka ne mulondo wende wa mâyi pa dikaya.
16 Nsongakaji au uvua muimpe be, utshivua kamama, muntu mulume nansha umue kavua muanji kulala nende to. Wakapueka ku mpokolo wa mâyi, kuwujaye mulondo wende wa mâyi, pashishe kubandaye.
17 Diakamue muena mudimu au wakaya lubilu bua kusambakena nende, yeye kuamba ne: “Mpesha koku tumâyi tua kunua mu mulondo webe amu.”
18 Yeye kuandamuna ne: “Nuaku, mukalenge wanyi.” Yeye kupuekesha mulondo wende mu diboko lukasa, kumupeshaye mâyi a kunua.
19 Pakajikijaye kumupesha mâyi a kunua, wakamba ne: “Nensunyine kabidi tumelu tuebe mâyi too ne paditu tujikija kunua.”
20 Nunku wakapongolola mâyi a mu mulondo wende lukasa mu tshinuinu tshia nyama, kuyaye lubilu ku tshina tshia mâyi misangu ne misangu bua kusuna mâyi, yeye kutungunuka ne kusunyina tumelu tuende tuonso mâyi.
21 Dîba dionso adi, muntu au uvua mushale mumulengamene talalaa, ukatshila, udiebeja bikala Yehowa ni uvua mumututshishe diakalenga mu luendu luende anyi ni kavua mumututshishadi.
22 Pakajikija tumelu kunua mâyi, muntu au wakamupatuila kakanu ka ku diulu ka or kavua ne bujitu bua tshitupa tshia nshekele,* ne bikanu bia ku maboko bibidi bia or bivua ne bujitu bua nshekele* dikumi,
23 kumukonkaye ne: “Ngambila koku, udi muana wa nganyi? Mu nzubu mua tatuebe mudiku muaba utudi mua kulala butuku ebu anyi?”
24 Ke yeye kumuandamuna ne: “Ndi muana wa Betuele+ muana wa Mileka uvuaye mulelele Nahô.”+
25 Kuambaye kabidi ne: “Tudi ne bisunsukile bia tukolakola ne biakudia bia nyama bia bungi, tudi kabidi ne muaba wa kulala butuku ebu.”
26 Nunku muntu au wakinama, kutuaye mpala panshi kumpala kua Yehowa,
27 wamba ne: “Yehowa Nzambi wa mfumuanyi Abalahama atumbishibue, bualu ki mmulekele kuleja dinanga diende dia lulamatu pamue ne lulamatu luende kudi mfumuanyi to. Yehowa mmundombole ku nzubu wa bana babu ne mfumuanyi.”
28 Nsongakaji wakaya lubilu bua kuambila ba mu nzubu mua mamuende malu aa.
29 Lebeka uvua ne muanabu wa balume, dîna diende Labana.+ Nunku, Labana wakaya lubilu kudi muntu uvua pambelu ku mpokolo wa mâyi au.
30 Pakamonaye kakanu ka ku diulu ne bikanu ku maboko a muanabu ne pakumvuaye mêyi a muanabu Lebeka uvua wamba ne: “Ke muvua muntu au mungambile nanku,” wakaya bua kumonangana ne muntu au utshivua muimane pabuipi ne tumelu ku mpokolo wa mâyi.
31 Diakamue kuambaye ne: “Luaku, wewe muntu udi mubeneshibue kudi Yehowa. Bua tshinyi utshidi muimane pambelu apa? Nkadi mulongolueshe mu nzubu ne muaba wa tumelu.”
32 Nunku muntu au kuyaye kubuela mu nzubu; yeye* kumbusha biseba pa tumelu, kupesha tumelu bisunsukile bia tukolakola ne biakudia bia nyama, ne mâyi bua kuowa ku makasa ende ne ku makasa a bantu bavua nende.
33 Kadi pakatekabu biakudia kumpala kuende, wakamba ne: “Tshiena ndia to, anu pangakuambila bundi muende nabu.” Ke Labana kuamba ne: “Akula!”
34 Nunku yeye kuamba ne: “Ndi muena mudimu wa Abalahama.+
35 Yehowa mmubeneshe mfumuanyi bikole menemene, mmumuvuije mubanji bikole bualu mmumupeshe mikoko ne ngombe, arjan ne or, bena mudimu ba balume ne ba bakaji, ne tumelu ne mpunda.+
36 Kabidi, Sala mukaji wa mfumuanyi wakalelela mfumuanyi muana wa balume pakavuaye mukulakaje.+ Mfumuanyi neapeshe muanende bintu bionso bidiye nabi.+
37 Nunku mfumuanyi wakantshipisha, wamba ne: ‘Kuena ne bua kuangatshila muananyi wa balume mukaji munkatshi mua bana ba bakaji ba bena Kanâna ba mu buloba bundi musombele ebu to.+
38 Kadi neuye mu nzubu wa tatuanyi ne mu dîku dietu,+ udi ne bua kuangatshilamu muananyi wa balume mukaji.’+
39 Kadi meme kuambila mfumuanyi ne: ‘Mukaji au yeye mubenge bua kulua nanyi, nengenze tshinyi?’+
40 Yeye wakangambila ne: ‘Yehowa undi muende kumpala kuende+ neakutume ne muanjelu wende,+ ne neatutshishe luendu luebe diakalenga; udi ne bua kuangatshila muananyi wa balume mukaji mu dîku dietu, mu nzubu wa tatuanyi.+
41 Wewe muye mu dîku dietu ne bobu babenge kukupeshaye, neusuludibue ku mutshipu uudi muditshipe kundi. Bualu ebu nebukusulule ku mutshipu webe.’+
42 “Pamvua mufike ku mpokolo wa mâyi lelu, mvua muambe ne: ‘Yehowa Nzambi wa mfumuanyi Abalahama, wewe mua kututshisha luendu luanyi diakalenga,
43 ndi muimane muaba eu ku mpokolo wa mâyi. Bienzeke nunku: padi nsongakaji+ upatuka bua kusuna mâyi, mmuambile ne: “Mpesha koku tumâyi tua kunua mu mulondo webe,”
44 yeye mungandamune ne: “Nuaku mâyi, nensunyine kabidi tumelu tuebe mâyi,” nsongakaji au ikale udi Yehowa musunguile muana wa mfumuanyi.’+
45 “Tshiyi muanji kujikija kudiakuila mu muoyo wanyi, Lebeka wakapatuka ne mulondo wende pa dikaya, upueka mutangile ku mpokolo wa mâyi, kutuadijaye kusuna mâyi. Ke meme kumuambila ne: ‘Mpesha koku mâyi a kunua.’+
46 Nunku yeye wakapuekesha mulondo wende uvua pa dikaya lukasa, kuambaye ne: ‘Nuaku mâyi,+ ne nennuishe kabidi tumelu tuebe.’ Nunku meme kunua mâyi, ne yeye kunuisha kabidi tumelu.
47 Pashishe meme kumuebeja ne: ‘Udi muana wa nganyi?’ Yeye kuandamuna ne: ‘Ndi muana wa Betuele muana wa Nahô uvua Mileka mumulelele.’ Ke meme kumuvuadika kakanu ku diulu ne bikanu ku maboko.+
48 Meme kuinama, kutua mpala panshi kumpala kua Yehowa, kutumbisha Yehowa Nzambi wa mfumuanyi Abalahama+ uvua mundombole mu njila muimpe bua kuangatshila mfumuanyi muana wa bakaji wa muanabu bua muanende.
49 Mpindieu ngambilayi binuikala basue kuleja mfumuanyi dinanga dia lulamatu pamue ne lulamatu; kadi biobi kabiyi nanku, ngambilayi bua mmanye tshia kuenza.”*+
50 Nunku Labana ne Betuele bakandamuna ne: “Ebu bualu mbua kudi Yehowa. Katuena mua kukuandamuna eyowa anyi tòo nansha.*
51 Lebeka nyeye eu kumpala kuebe. Muangata ndaku, alue mukaji wa muana wa mfumuebe anu bu mudi Yehowa muambe amu.”
52 Pakumvua muena mudimu wa Abalahama mêyi abu, wakinama panshi diakamue kumpala kua Yehowa.
53 Muena mudimu au wakabanga kupatula bintu bia arjan ne bia or ne bilamba, kubipeshaye Lebeka, ne muntu au wakapesha muanabu wa balume ne mamuende bintu bia mushinga mukole.
54 Pashishe yeye ne bantu bavuaye nabu bakadia, bakanua, ne bakalala muaba au butuku abu.
Pakajukaye mu dinda, wakamba ne: “Mpingajayi kudi mfumuanyi.”
55 Ke muanabu ne Lebeka ne mamuende kuambabu ne: “Nsongakaji ashale netu nansha bua matuku dikumi. Pashishe udi mua kuya.”
56 Kadi yeye wakabambila ne: “Bu mudi Yehowa mututshishe luendu luanyi diakalenga, kanundami to. Mpingajayi bua nye kudi mfumuanyi.”
57 Ke bobu kuamba ne: “Tubikile nsongakaji, tumuebeje yeye nkayende.”
58 Bobu kubikila Lebeka, kumuebejabu ne: “Udi musue kuya ne muntu eu anyi?” Yeye kuandamuna ne: “Ndi musue kuya.”
59 Nanku bakalayangana ne Lebeka+ muanabu wa bakaji ne ndeji*+ wende ne muena mudimu wa Abalahama ne bantu bende.
60 Bakabenesha Lebeka, kumuambilabu ne: “Muanetu wa bakaji, ulue binunu misangu binunu dikumi,* ne bana* bebe banyenge tshiibi* tshia badi babakine.”+
61 Pashishe Lebeka ne bambuluishi bende ba bakaji bakajuka, kubandabu pa tumelu, kulondabu muntu au. Nunku muena mudimu au wakangata Lebeka, yeye kuya.
62 Mpindieu Izaka uvua ufumina luseke lua ku Bê-laha-loi,+ bualu uvua musombele mu buloba bua Negebe.+
63 Pakavua butuku buamba kuila, Izaka uvua wendakana mu mpata bua kuelangana meji.+ Pakabandishaye mêsu, wakamona tumelu tuenda tulua.
64 Pakabandisha Lebeka pende mêsu, wakamona Izaka, kutulukaye lukasa pa kamelu.
65 Ke yeye kuebeja muena mudimu au ne: “Muntu udi mu mpata wenda ulua kutudi wawa nnganyi?” Muena mudimu kuambaye ne: “Mmfumuanyi.” Ke Lebeka kuangata tshitambala bua kudijika.
66 Nunku muena mudimu au wakalondela Izaka malu onso avuaye muenze.
67 Pashishe Izaka wakaya ne Lebeka mu ntenta wa mamuende Sala.+ Nunku wakamuangata bua ikale mukajende; yeye kumunanga bikole,+ nunku Izaka wakasambibua panyima pa lufu lua mamuende.+
