Gene Ndebele 12:1  INkosi yasisithi kuAbrama: Suka wena elizweni lakini lezihlotsheni zakho lemzini kayihlo, uye elizweni engizakutshengisa lona.
Gene Ndebele 12:2  Ngizakwenza-ke ube yisizwe esikhulu, ngikubusise, ngenze ibizo lakho libe likhulu, njalo ube yisibusiso.
Gene Ndebele 12:3  Njalo ngizababusisa abakubusisayo, lokuqalekisayo ngimqalekise; lakuwe kuzabusiswa zonke insapho zomhlaba.
Gene Ndebele 12:4  UAbrama wasehamba njengoba iNkosi ikhulumile kuye, loLothi wahamba laye. Njalo uAbrama wayeleminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu ekusukeni kwakhe eHarani.
Gene Ndebele 12:5  UAbrama wasethatha uSarayi umkakhe, loLothi indodana yomfowabo, lempahla yabo yonke ababeyiqoqile, lemiphefumulo ababeyizuzile eHarani; basebesuka ukuya elizweni leKhanani; bafika elizweni leKhanani.
Gene Ndebele 12:6  UAbrama wasedabula ilizwe waze wafika endaweni yeShekema, esihlahleni se-okhi* seMore. LamaKhanani ayekhona elizweni ngalesosikhathi.
Gene Ndebele 12:7  INkosi yasibonakala kuAbrama, yathi: Kunzalo yakho ngizanika lelilizwe. Waseyakhela lapho iNkosi ilathi eyayibonakale kuye.
Gene Ndebele 12:8  Waseqhubeka esuka lapho waya entabeni empumalanga yeBhetheli, wamisa ithente lakhe, iBhetheli isentshonalanga leAyi empumalanga. Waseyakhela lapho iNkosi ilathi, wabiza ibizo leNkosi.
Gene Ndebele 12:9  UAbrama wasesuka wahamba eqhubeka esiya eningizimu.
Gene Ndebele 12:10  Kwasekusiba khona indlala elizweni. UAbrama wasesehlela ngaseGibhithe ukuthi ahlale khona njengowezizwe, ngoba indlala yayinzima elizweni.
Gene Ndebele 12:11  Kwasekusithi esesondela ukungena eGibhithe wathi kuSarayi umkakhe: Khangela-ke, ngiyazi ukuthi ungowesifazana omuhle obukekayo.
Gene Ndebele 12:12  Njalo kuzakuthi lapho amaGibhithe ekubona, azakuthi: Lo ngumkakhe; abesengibulala, kodwa wena akugcine uphila.
Gene Ndebele 12:13  Ake uthi ungudadewethu, ukuze kube kuhle kimi ngenxa yakho, lomphefumulo wami uphile ngenxa yakho.
Gene Ndebele 12:14  Kwasekusithi lapho uAbrama esefikile eGibhithe, amaGibhithe ambona owesifazana, ukuthi muhle kakhulu.
Gene Ndebele 12:15  Iziphathamandla zikaFaro lazo zambona, zambabaza phambi kukaFaro. Owesifazana waselethwa endlini kaFaro.
Gene Ndebele 12:16  Wasemphatha kuhle uAbrama ngenxa yakhe; njalo waba lezimvu lezinkabi labobabhemi lezinceku lezincekukazi labobabhemikazi lamakamela.
Gene Ndebele 12:17  Kodwa iNkosi yamhlupha uFaro ngezinhlupheko ezinkulu, lendlu yakhe, ngendaba kaSarayi umkaAbrama.
Gene Ndebele 12:18  UFaro wasembiza uAbrama, wathi: Kuyini lokhu okwenze kimi? Kungani ungangitshelanga ukuthi ungumkakho?
Gene Ndebele 12:19  Utsholoni ukuthi ungudadewenu, ngize ngimthathe ukuba ngumkami? Ngakho khangela-ke umkakho; mthathe uhambe.
Gene Ndebele 12:20  UFaro waselaya amadoda ngaye; asemmukisa lomkakhe lakho konke ayelakho.
