Kahea aku la o Aberahama ia loane, "E! e hooikaika kaua. i pakele ko kaua ola, oiai hoi; ke hele mai nei lakou me ka nianao e pepehi ia ikaua a make." I Lalau koke iho la o loane i kekahi pauku laau nui a ku makaukau iho la laua a i elua, no ka hoopale aku i keia mau enemi. A ia llaua hoi e ku makaukau ana, o ka lele mai la no ia o kekahi mau Nika I eha, iluna o ke kao, hahau ikaika loa aku la laua ia lakou, me na pauku laau, a pau nūi i ka eha. I Kahea mai la o loane, "e Abe, e hoolei aku ia lakou iloko o ka Iwai." O ka Aberahama hana no hoi ia o ke kiola aku iloko o ka wai,

Kahea aku la o Aberahama ia loane, "e alualu kaua ia lakou, ma kapa o ka muliwai." A lehei aku la laua iuka, a paio pu aku la me kela mau Nika ekolu, e ku ana malaila, ku'i aku la o Aberahama i ka auwae o kekahi Nika, a hikaka aku la no ka eha, a o ka holo kiki aku la no ia o kekahi poe Nika, no ka maka'u ia laua. A ika manawa hoi i pii mai ai na Nika i kiolaia'i iloko oka wai, kahea hou aku la o Aberahama ia loane. "E pepehi hou kaua ia lakou nei," a o ko laua hahau ikaika iho la no ia me na pauku laau, a pau loa aku la na Nika i ke auhee, me ka puiwa loa. Maka'u loa iho la na Nika, no keia hakaka wiwoole ana ona keiki me lakou. I ko lakou manao e make wale ana laua nei ia lakou ehiku no ko lakou nui, alaila e hao wale iho no hoi lakou i na waiwai apau o luna 0 ke kao, a eia ka auanei o lakou ke pau nui ana ia laua nei i ka eha, aua oki e holo kiki ana. Ua ike no laua he hakaka make ka lakou la i hele mai ai, i mea e hookoia ai ko lakou makemake; a nolaila hoi, me ka ikaika nui launa ole mai ko laua paio pu ana me lakou a pau aku la i ke auhee nui. Pookela loa ka ikaika o Aberahama ia manawa; a eha no hoi na Nika iaia: He mau pauku laau ano newa ko na Nika, aua eha 110 hoi o Aberahama, ame loane ia lakoij, aka o lakou nae ka i hooauheeia e laua nei, a pakele iho la ka laua waiwai, ame ko laua mau ola pu no h|bi, mamuli o ko laua ikaika, ame ko laua koa maoli no hoi, i ka hoopale ana aku i keia mau po-wa Nika eleele. Ninau mai la o Aberahama ia loane, "pehea, ua eha k>a anei ot?" "Aole au i elia loa. A pehea hoi kou mau eha?" wahi a loane. "Ua eha no kuu lima, ame kuu wahi poo, aka ea, aole nae ia he mea na'u e hoohalahala ai, oiai hoi; ua pakele mai ko kaua ola."

"Oia hoi ha! ī E kau mua ae oe iluna oke kao, a na'u no e wehe aku ke kaula i paa ai." Ee mua ae la o loane, a kau iho la iluna o ke kao, a i ka hemo ana mai hoi o ke kaula i paa ai ke kao, kau pu aku la o Aberahama me ia, a holo aku la laua ma kahi e e hekau hou ai. A i ko laua pale ana aku i kahi kao, o hala loa iwaena o ka muliwai, 1 mai la o loane ia Aberahama: "Ua pakele no kaua maanei, aka nae, aole au e moe hou ana i keia po." "O kaua pu no," wahi o Aberahama. "E loane e, ina e hele hou mai au ianei, aole au e hele wale mai me ka pu ole, e lawe mai no au i ka pu, no ka mea hoi; ke ike nei au, aole i pono keia kaua ana me ka pu ole."
