U-Abraham noSara
Isithembiso sokusikelela usapho loluntu
U-Abraham wayehlala kwisixeko sase-Ure. Ababingeleli abakhohlakeleyo apho babefuna ukwenza idini ngaye kwizithixo zabo. U-Abraham waye wathandaza, kwaye iNkosi yaye yamsindisa.
Ngoko ke iNkosi yayalela u-Abraham nenkosikazi yakhe uSara ukuba bahambe e-Ure baye kwilizwe elikude. Yona yathembisa ukubasikelela eluhambweni lwabo.
U-Abraham noSara babeyithemba iNkosi kwaye bahamba e-Ure. Kodwa babeziva bekhathazekile kuba babengenabo abantwana. INkosi yaye yabathuthuzela. Yona yabathembisa ukuba babeya kubanaye umntwana.
Genesis 11:30–31; 15:1–6; 17:2–16; Abraham 2:6–9
U-Abraham waye wathandaza eNkosini ukuba afunde ngakumbi malunga naYo. INkosi yandwendwela u-Abraham kwaye yayizibiza ngokuba inguYehova. UYehova wenza umnqophiso kunye no-Abraham. Yona yathembisa ukuba u-Abraham wayeya kufumana ububingeleli. Kwaye yathembisa kwakhona ukuba zonke iintsapho zomhlaba zaziya kusikeleleka ngosapho luka-Abraham.
Njengoko u-Abraham noSara babehamba-hamba, kwakufuneka bafumane ukutya. Baye bazama ukuphila kwilizwe elalibizwa ngokuba yiKanan. Apho kulo kwakungekho kutya, ngoko ke kwakumele baye eYiputa. Kodwa ukuhlala kwelaseYiputa kwakuyingozi kubo.
Genesis 12:10–20; Abraham 2:21–25
U-Abraham noSara baye bahamba eYiputa babuyela bayohlala eKanan. Beza nokutya kunye nezilwanyane eYiputa. IKanan yayiyinxalenye yelizwe iNkosi eyayibathembise lona.
Genesis 13:1–4, 12; Abraham 2:19
INkosi yaye yasigcina isithembiso saYo sokokuba u-Abraham wayeya kufumana ububingeleli. Ngenye imini u-Abraham noSara baye badibana nekumkani elungileyo egama linguMelkitsedeke. U-Abraham waye wahlawula isishumi kuyo.
U-Abraham wabufumana ububingeleli kuMelkitsedeke. Obu yayibububingeleli obufanayo nobo abaprofeti abafana no-Adam noNowa babebufumene.
UGuqulelo lukaJoseph Smith, Genesis 14:36–40; Abraham 1:2–4; IMfundiso neMinqophiso 84:14
U-Abraham noSara babonwabile eKanan, kodwa babesakhathazekile kuba babengenaye umntwana. Kwakumele bathembele kwisithembiso seNkosi sokokuba ngenye imini usapho lwabo lwaluya kukhula kwaye lusikelele wonke umhlaba.
