No ku bw'ico, ntaabwo Imaana ikorwa n'isoni zo kwitwa Imaana yaabo kuko ni yo yabateguuriye itawuni bazaatuuramo.

17 Igihe Aburahamu yashizwe ku kigeragezo, kwizeera yari afite byatumye yeemera gutamba Isaaka. Nuubwo yari yarahaawe iseezerano, yari yiiteguuye gutamba umwana we w'ikinege 18 uwo Imaana yari yaramubwiye iti, "Kuri Isaaka ni ho urubyaro rwawe ruzaakwitirirwa." 19 Aburahamu yiizeeraga ko Imaana ishobora kuzuura uwapfuuye ikamugira muzima. Kandi koko ubigereranyije, Isaaka yagarurijwe Aburahamu nk'uzuutse.

Baakoze ibitungaanye, baazanira abantu ubutabeera kandi bahaabwa ibyo Imaana yari yarabaseezeranyije. Baazibiranyije iminwa y'intare, 34 bazimya imiriro iteeye ubwoba, ntibiicwa n'inkoota. Baari bafite intege nke ariko babona imbaraga, baba intwari mu ntambara kandi batsinda ingabo z'abanyamahanga. 35 Ku bwo kwizeera, hari abagore baakiriye beene waabo baari baarapfuuye bakazuurwa bakongera guhaabwa ubugingo.

Abandi banze kuba ab'umudendeezo baapfuuye batootezwa kugira ngo bazuurirwe kubona ubugingo burushaho kuba bwiza. 36 Bamwe barashinyagurirwa kandi barakubitwa naho abandi baaraboshwe bajanwa mu nzu y'imbohe. 37 Bamwe baateewe amabuye kugeza ku gupfa, baciibwamo kabiri, biiciishijwe inkoota.
