Isak frɛɛ Yakob, hyiraa no hyɛɛ no sɛ, “Nware saa Kanaanfoɔ mmaa yi bi da.
2 ke boŋ yi Padan Aram enumake, eye nàge ɖe tɔgbuiwò Betuel ƒe aƒe me, eye nàɖe nɔviwò siwo nye nyruiwò, Laban vinyɔnuwo la dometɔ ɖeka.
Ka wo ho kɔ Betuel a ɔyɛ wo maame Rebeka agya no nkyɛn wɔ Paddan-Aram, na kɔware wo wɔfa Laban mmammaa no mu baako.
3 Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ nayra wò, ana viwòwo nasɔ gbɔ, eye nàzu dukɔ gã aɖe!
Otumfoɔ Onyankopɔn no nhyira wo. Ɔmma wʼase nnɔre bebree, na wʼasefoɔ no abɛyɛ ɔman kɛseɛ a mmusuakuo bebree bɛfiri mu aba.
4 Mawu nana yayra gã siwo ŋugbe wòdo na Abraham la nava wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo dzi. Anyigba si dzi míele fifia abe amedzrowo ene la nazu tɔwò, elabena Mawu tsɔe na Abraham.”
Onyankopɔn mfa nhyira a ɔde hyiraa Abraham no nhyira wo ne wʼasefoɔ. Ɔmma asase a ɛnnɛ wote so sɛ ɔhɔhoɔ yi a ɛyɛ asase a Onyankopɔn de maa Abraham no nyɛ wo dea.”
5 Ale Isak na Yakob yi Padan Aram be wòakpɔ nyruia Laban, ame si nye Betuel Arameatɔ la ƒe viŋutsu eye wòganye Yakob kple Esau dadaa Rebeka nɔviŋutsu la ɖa.
Sɛdeɛ Isak gyaa ne ba Yakob ɛkwan nie: Yakob kɔɔ Laban a ɔyɛ Aramni Betuel babarima nkyɛn wɔ Paddan-Aram. Na saa Laban yi yɛ Esau ne Yakob maame Rebeka nuabarima.
6 Esau kpɔ be ye fofo Isak yra Yakob, eye wòɖoe ɖe Padan Aram be wòaɖe srɔ̃ le afi ma, ke ede se na Yakob be, “Megaɖe Kanaan nyɔnu o.”
Esau tee sɛ Isak ahyira Yakob, na wagya no kwan ma ɔkɔ Paddan-Aram sɛ ɔnkɔware wɔ hɔ. Ɔhyiraa no no, ɔhyɛɛ no sɛ, “Nware saa Kanaanfoɔ mmaa yi bi da.”
7 Yakob ɖo to fofoa kple dadaa, eye wòyi Padan Aram.
Yakob tiee nʼagya ne ne maame afotuo no siim kɔɔ Paddan-Aram.
8 Esau de dzesii be Kanaan nyɔnuawo medze ye fofo Isak ŋu o.
Esau hunuu sɛ nʼagya Isak mpɛ Kanaanfoɔ mmaa asɛm.
9 Ale Esau yi etɔgã, Ismael ƒe ƒome me, eye wòɖe srɔ̃ bubu eve tso afi ma kpe ɖe srɔ̃ siwo nɔ esi xoxo la ŋu. Srɔ̃ yeye siawo dometɔ ɖekae nye Mahalat, Nebayɔt nɔvi kple Ismael si nye Abraham ƒe viŋutsu la ƒe vinyɔnu.
Enti, ɔsiim kɔɔ Abraham babarima Ismael nkyɛn, kɔwaree ne babaa Mahalat. Na Mahalat yɛ Nebaiot nuabaa, na ɔyɛ Ismael a ɔno nso yɛ Abraham babarima babaa. Esau waree Mahalat kaa ne yerenom ho.
10 Yakob dzo le Beerseba, eye wòɖo ta Haran.

11 Esi zã do la, etsi teƒe aɖe dɔ, eye wòziɔ kpe aɖe abe suɖui ene be yeadɔ alɔ̃.
Ɔduruu baabi na onwunu redwoɔ no, ɔpɛɛ baabi soɛeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na adeɛ resa. Ɔfaa ɛboɔ bi wɔ baabi a waduru hɔ de yɛɛ sumiiɛ.
12 Eku drɔ̃e kpɔ atsrɔe aɖe si didi tso anyigba yi ɖatɔ dziƒo, eye wòkpɔ mawudɔlawo nɔ eliam ganɔ ɖiɖim.
Ɔdaeɛ no, ɔsoo daeɛ bi. Daeɛ no mu, ɔhunuu sɛ atwedeɛ bi si fam a nʼatifi ka ewiem, na Onyankopɔn abɔfoɔ redi so aforosiane.
13 Ekpɔ Yehowa wònɔ atsrɔe la tame, eye wògblɔ be, “Nyee nye Yehowa, Abraham ƒe Mawu kple fofowò Isak ƒe Mawu. Anyigba si dzi nèmlɔ la, matsɔe ana wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo,
Ɔhunuu sɛ Onyankopɔn gyina atwedeɛ no atifi. Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Mene Awurade, Abraham Onyankopɔn, ne wʼagya Isak Onyankopɔn. Mede asase a woda so yi bɛma wo ne wʼasefoɔ.

16 Esime Yakob nyɔ tso alɔ̃ me la, egblɔ be, “Vavã, Yehowa le afi sia, gake nyemenya o.”
Yakob nyaneeɛ no, ɔkaa wɔ ne tirim sɛ, “Ampa ara, sɛɛ na Awurade wɔ saa beaeɛ ha yi, a na mennim!”
17 Egblɔ be, “Aleke gbegbe teƒe sia dzi ŋɔe! Teƒe sia menye teƒe bubu aɖeke wu Mawu ƒe aƒe o. Esiae nye dziƒogbo la.”
Yakob suroeɛ, na ɔkɔɔ so kaa wɔ ne tirim sɛ, “Ɛha yɛ hu papa. Ɛha nyɛ baabiara sɛ Onyankopɔn fie. Ɔsoro ɛpono ano ne ha.”
18 Yakob fɔ ŋdi kanya, ɖi kpe si wòziɔ la abe ŋkuɖodzikpe ene, eye wòkɔ ami ɖe edzi.

Ɔtoo beaeɛ no edin Bet-El a aseɛ kyerɛ Onyame fie. Kane no na anka wɔfrɛ saa kuro no Lus.
20 Yakob ɖe adzɔgbe na Mawu be, “Ne Mawu ave nunye, akpɔ tanye le nye mɔzɔzɔ sia me, ana nuɖuɖu kple nutatam,
Afei, Yakob kaa ntam sɛ, “Sɛ Onyankopɔn bɛka me ho, ahwɛ me so wɔ saa akwantuo yi mu, ama me aduane adi, ama me ntoma afira,
