Olwa waamala okumuwoolako amangʼana ago, Omukangasi owa *awoozia yawuuzia Stefaano otino, “Amangʼana aga oingiriirwe nago gano gari kuwuene?” Stefaano yamuirania otino, “*Awagaaka ni waamwifu, mutege amatwi muwurre ekia mbalaga! Katonda ori no owunene yailaganira guukwa iifu Abraamu ni yawanga na amenyere mu ekialo ekia Mesopotaamia, na akiari okugia okumenya ku omugizi ogwa Araani. Katonda yamulaga otino, ‘Ngʼaanya oreke ekialo kiinyu kino ni waamwinyu, ofume ogie omenye mu ekialo ekia nyiza okugia okukulaga.’Owut 12:1Awaib 11:8–10
“Kutio yangʼaanya mu ekialo ekia Mesopotaamia mu ekitemo ekia Awakaldea agia amenya mu omugizi ogwa Araani. Olwa swae yamala okufwa, Katonda yamulaga mbwe aaze amenye mu ekialo ekia mumenyeremo nyingeeno kino.Owut 11:31; 12:4 Ni riwulao ilowa eria Katonda yamu-aa ano namba erikasuga entambuko endala.

Mumiire aga Katonda yakolanga empurizanio eno, kwatuukra Abraamu na akiawula omwana.Owut 12:7 Katonda yamulaga mbwe awiizukulu waae waaza okumenya mu ekialo ekitari ekiawu ku emiigo mia wine, kandi ku emiigo egio giona waaza okuwa *awakurumu awa awantu awa ekialo ekio kandi wariwanyaasia ino! Katonda yagia emberi na awoola otino, ‘Nyiza okuswawuka awantu awariwanyaasia awo. Nikuemao awiizukulu waao awo waaza okuema mu ekialo ekio waaze wansawe ano.’Owut 15:13, 14; Okuf 3:12 Ni Katonda yamala okuwoola otio, yataao *endagano eya okuira awaana awekizia *enyangu, ni Abraamu. Kutio Abraamu yaira Isaaka enyangu owuire owua munaane okuemera mu okuiwulwa. Isaaka yaira Yakoobo enyangu, ni Yakoobo yaira awazia waae ikumi ni wawiri enyangu. (Wano niwo awaiwula ewiriango ikumi ni wiwiri ewia Awaisraeli.)”Owut 17:9–14; 21:2–3; 25:26; 29:31—30:24; 35:16–18
Stefaano yagia emberi na awoola otino, “Awa Yakoobo waawa ni iyari ni Yoseefu wamwawu. Kutio waamuguzizia awantu awa Misiri. Kukawa kutio Katonda yawanga ni Yoseefu.Owut 37:11, 28; 39:2, 21 10 Kandi yamurinda mu eminyako-nyaako giae giona. Olwa Yoseefu yagia emberi owa omwami owa Misiri, Katonda yamu-aa amaganga agaagera asangaazia omwami ino kandi okwo kwagera omwami amuta awa omukangasi owa omugizi gwae.Owut 41:37–44
