1 Awo Mukama n’agamba Ibulaamu nti, “Vva mu nsi yannyo ne mu bantu bo ne mu nnyumba ya kitaawo ogende mu nsi gye ndikulaga.
Awurade Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Abram sɛ, “Gya wo ɔman, wo nkurɔfoɔ ne wo agya fiefoɔ, na kɔ asase a mɛkyerɛ wo no so.
2 “Nange ndikufuula eggwanga eddene, era ndikuwa omukisa, n’erinnya lyo ne ndifuula kkulu, olyoke obeere mukisa.
“Mɛma wo ayɛ ɔman kɛseɛ, na mɛhyira wo. Mɛma wo din atrɛ, na woayɛ nhyira ama nnipa bebree.
3 Ndiwa omukisa abo abakusabira omukisa, era buli alikukolimira nange namukolimiranga; era mu ggwe amawanga gonna ag’omu nsi mwe galiweerwa omukisa.”
Mɛhyira wɔn a wɔhyira wo, na obiara a ɔdome wo no, mɛdome no. Ɛnam wo so na wɔbɛhyira nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa.”
4 Bw’atyo Ibulaamu n’agenda nga Mukama bwe yamugamba, ne Lutti n’agenda wamu naye. Ibulaamu we yaviira mu Kalani yali aweza emyaka nsanvu mu etaano.
Enti, Abram kɔeɛ, sɛdeɛ Awurade Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no no. Na Lot ne no kɔeɛ. Ɛberɛ a Abram refiri Haran asase so akɔ no, na wadi mfeɛ aduɔson enum.
5 Ibulaamu n’atwala Salaayi mukazi we, ne Lutti mutabani wa muganda we ne byonna bye baalina bye baali bafunye, n’abantu baabwe be baafunira mu Kalani, ne basitula okugenda mu Kanani. Ne batuuka mu nsi ya Kanani.
Na Abram faa ne yere Sarai ne ne nuabarima Haran babarima Lot, nʼagyapadeɛ ne nʼasomfoɔ a ɔnyaa wɔn wɔ Haran nyinaa, siim kɔɔ Kanaan asase so.
6 Ibulaamu n’ayita mu nsi n’atuuka mu kifo ekiyitibwa Sekemu awali emivule gya Mole. Mu biro ebyo Abakanani be baali mu nsi omwo.
Wɔfaa asase no so ara kɔsii baabi a wɔfrɛ hɔ Sekem, kɔduruu odum dua bi a ɛsi baabi a wɔfrɛ hɔ More. Ɛhɔ na wɔsii wɔn ntomadan. Saa ɛberɛ no, na Kanaanfoɔ na wɔte asase no so.
7 Awo Mukama n’alabikira Ibulaamu n’agamba nti, “Ensi eno ndigiwa abo abaliva mu ggwe.” Awo Ibulaamu n’azimbira eyo Mukama ekyoto eyamulabikira.
Afei, Awurade Onyankopɔn yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Abram ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Mede saa asase yi bɛma wʼaseni.” Enti, Abram sii afɔrebukyia wɔ hɔ, de kaee Awurade Onyankopɔn a ɔdaa ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no no.
8 Bw’atyo n’alaga ku lusozi ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba obwa Beseri, n’asimba eweema ye nga Beseri ali ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, ne Ayi ngali ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba, n’azimbira eyo Mukama ekyoto, n’akoowoola erinnya lya Mukama.
Akyire yi, Abram firii hɔ, de nʼani kyerɛɛ mmepɔ bi a ɛwɔ apueeɛ fam, sii ne ntomadan wɔ hɔ. Na Bet-El da atɔeɛ fam, na Ai nso da apueeɛ fam. Ɛhɔ na ɔsii afɔrebukyia maa Awurade Onyankopɔn, sɔree no wɔ hɔ.
9 Ibulaamu ne yeeyongera okutambula ng’ayolekera Negevu.
Afei, Abram dii atutena ara, kɔɔ anafoɔ fam.
10 Ne wagwa enjala mu nsi. Bw’atyo Ibulaamu n’aserengeta e Misiri asengukireko eyo, kubanga enjala nnyingi eyali mu nsi.
Saa ɛberɛ no, ɛkɔm kɛseɛ bi sii asase a na Abram te so no so. Enti, ɔtu kɔtenaa Misraim asase so kakra, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛkɔm a ɛbaa asase no so no, na ano yɛ den yie.
11 Bwe yali anaatera okuyingira mu Misiri, n’agamba Salaayi mukazi we nti, “Mmanyi ng’oli mukazi mulungi era mubalagavu,
Ɔreyɛ aduru Misraim asase so no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ne yere Sarai sɛ, “Menim sɛ woyɛ ɔbaa a wo ho yɛ fɛ yie.
12 era Abamisiri bwe balikulabako baligamba nti, ‘Ono ye mukazi we,’ kale balinzita, naye ggwe ne bakuleka.
Sɛ Misraimfoɔ no hunu wo a, wɔbɛka sɛ, ‘Ne yere nie. Momma yɛnkum no, na yɛmfa no.’
13 Ogambanga nti, Oli mwannyinaze ndyoke mbeere bulungi ku lulwo, n’obulamu bwange buleme kubaako kabi, buwone ku lulwo.”
Na sɛ woka sɛ woyɛ me nuabaa a, Misraimfoɔ no bɛhwɛ me yie, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn ani wɔ wo ho, ɛno enti, wɔrenkum me.”
14 Ibulaamu bwe yayingira mu Misiri, Abamisiri ne balaba Salaayi nga mukazi mulungi nnyo.
Ɛberɛ a wɔduruu Misraim asase so no, Misraimfoɔ no hunuu sɛ, ɔbaa no ho yɛ fɛ yie.
15 N’abakungu ba Falaawo bwe baamulaba ne bamutendera Falaawo ne bamutwala mu lubiri lwa Falaawo.
Na ɔhene Farao mpanimfoɔ hunuu no no, wɔkamfoo nʼahoɔfɛ, kɔbɔɔ no amaneɛ. Enti, ɔhene Farao soma ma wɔkɔfaa ɔbaa no baa nʼahemfie hɔ.
16 Ku lwa Salaayi, Falaawo n’ayisa bulungi Ibulaamu. Ibulaamu n’aweebwa endiga, n’ente, n’endogoyi, n’abaweereza abasajja, n’abaweereza abakazi, n’endogoyi enkazi, n’eŋŋamira.
Esiane ɔbaa no ahoɔfɛ enti, ɔhene Farao hwɛɛ Abram yie, maa no nnwan, anantwie, afunumunini ne afunumubereɛ, nkoa, mfenaa ne nyoma.
17 Naye Mukama n’aleetera Falaawo n’ennyumba ye endwadde enkambwe olwa Salaayi mukazi wa Ibulaamu.
Na ɛsiane Abram yere Sarai te a na ɔte Farao ahemfie hɔ no enti, Awurade Onyankopɔn maa ɔyaredɔm baa Farao ne ne fiefoɔ so.
18 Awo Falaawo n’ayita Ibulaamu n’amugamba nti, “Kiki kino ky’onkoze? Lwaki tewantegeeza nti mukazi wo?
Yei enti, Farao frɛɛ Abram bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na woayɛ me yi? Adɛn enti na woanka ankyerɛ me sɛ, ɔbaa no yɛ wo yere?
19 Lwaki wagamba nti mwannyoko, ne mmutwala okuba mukazi wange? Kale kaakano mukazi wo wuuno mmutwale mugende.”
Adɛn enti na wokaa sɛ, ‘Ɔyɛ me nuabaa’ na woama maware no? Sɛ saa na ɛteɛ deɛ a, gye wo yere. Wo yere nie! Fa wʼadeɛ kɔ!”
20 Falaawo n’alagira basajja be ebikwata ku Ibulaamu, ne bamusindiikiriza n’ava mu nsi ne mukazi we ne byonna bye yalina.
Na Farao hyɛɛ asraafoɔ sɛ, wɔnkɔgya Abram ne ne yere ɛkwan a wɔn fiefoɔ ne wɔn agyapadeɛ nyinaa ka ho.
