1 Awo Mukama n’alabikira Ibulayimu mu mivule gya Mamule, mu ttuntu ng’atudde mu mulyango gwa weema ye.
Awia ketee bi a Abraham te ne ntomadan a ɛwɔ Mamrɛ odum kwaeɛ ɛkwan ano no, Awurade yii ne ho adi bio kyerɛɛ no.
2 Bwe yasitula amaaso ge n’alaba, era laba, abasajja basatu nga bayimiridde mu maaso ge. Bwe yabalaba, n’adduka okuva mu mulyango gwa weema ye, okubasisinkana n’agwa wansi,
Abraham maa nʼani so no, ɔhunuu sɛ mmarima baasa bi apue ne ntentenesoɔ. Ɔhunuu wɔn no, ɔtuu mmirika firii ne ntomadan no kwan ano kɔhyiaa wɔn, kotoo wɔn.
3 n’agamba nti, “Mukama wange obanga ndabye ekisa mu maaso go, toyita ku muddu wo.
Abraham kaa sɛ, “Me wura, sɛ manya adom wɔ wʼanim a, ntwa me a meyɛ wʼakoa ho nkɔ.
4 Leka tuleete otuzzi munaabe ku bigere, muwummuleko wano wansi w’omuti,
Momma wɔmfa nsuo bi mmrɛ mo nhohoro mo nan ase, na monhome wɔ nnua yi ase kakra.
5 nga bwe ndeeta omugaati mulyeko muddemu amaanyi, mulyoke mugende, anti muzze eri muddu wammwe.” Ne bamugamba nti, “Kola nga bw’ogambye.”
Moaba mo akoa nkyɛn yi, momma mempɛ aduane kakra bi mma monka mo ano, na monnya ahoɔden nkɔ mo kwan.” Nnipa no penee so kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, yɛ deɛ wopɛ sɛ woyɛ.”
6 Ibulayimu n’ayanguwa okugenda eri Saala, n’amugamba nti, “Teekateeka mangu kilo kkumi na mukaaga ez’obutta okande ofumbire mangu abagenyi emmere.”
Enti, Abraham de ahoɔherɛ kɔɔ ne yere Sara nkyɛn wɔ ntomadan no mu, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ka wo ho fa asikyiresiam pa susukora mmiɛnsa, na fɔtɔ na fa to burodo.”
7 Ibulayimu n’agenda bunnambiro mu kisibo n’aggyamu ennyana, ento era ennungi n’agiwa omu ku bavubuka eyayanguwa okugifumba.
Afei, Abraham yɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ nʼanantwibuo no mu, kɔkyeree nantwie ba a ɔyɛ na wadɔre sradeɛ de no maa ne ɔsomfoɔ, ma ɔde ahoɔherɛ yɛɛ ne ho adwuma.
8 Awo n’addira omuzigo n’amata n’ennyana eyafumbibwa n’abiteeka mu maaso gaabwe; n’ayimirira we baali, wansi w’omuti nga balya.
Afei, ɔfaa nufosuo ani sradeɛ ne nufosuo ne nantwie ba a ɔde anoa aduane no, de too nnipa baasa no ɛpono. Ɛberɛ a nnipa no gu so redidie no, na ɔgyina wɔn nkyɛn wɔ nnua no ase.
9 Ne bamubuuza nti, “Saala mukyala wo ali ludda wa?” N’addamu nti, “Ali mu weema.”
Nnipa no bisaa Abraham sɛ, “Wo yere Sara wɔ he?” Abraham buaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɔwɔ ntomadan no mu.”
10 Awo omu ku bo n’amugamba nti, “Ddala ndikomawo gy’oli mu kiseera nga kino, era Saala mukazi wo alizaala omwana owoobulenzi.” Ne Saala yali awuliriza ng’ali mu mulyango gwa weema emabega we.
Afei, Awurade kaa sɛ, “Deɛ ɛbɛyɛ biara, afe sɛsɛɛ mɛba wo nkyɛn, na mɛba no, na wo yere Sara awo ɔbabarima.” Saa ɛberɛ no, na Sara gyina ntomadan no ɛpono akyiri, retie nkɔmmɔ no.
11 Mu kiseera kino Ibulayimu ne Saala baali bakaddiye nnyo nga Saala takyali na mu nsonga z’abakazi.
Na Abraham ne Sara nyinaa anyinyini yie a wɔn mfeɛ akɔ animu koraa enti, na Sara awoɔ apa ho.
12 Awo Saala n’asekera muli ng’agamba nti, “Nga nkaddiye, nga ne baze akaddiye, ndisanyusibwa?”
Sara tee asɛm no, ɔseree ne tirim, kaa sɛ, “Manya awie aberewabɔ, na me kunu nso abɔ akɔkoraa yi, ɛbɛyɛ sɛn na manya saa anigyedeɛ yi?”
13 Mukama n’abuuza Ibulayimu nti, “Lwaki Saala asese ng’agamba nti, ‘Ndiyinza okuzaala omwana nga nkaddiye?’
Enti, Awurade bisaa Abraham sɛ, “Adɛn enti na Sara sere bisaa sɛ, ‘Ampa ara sɛ manyini aduru seyie yi, mɛtumi awo ba?’
14 Waliwo ekirema Mukama? Omwaka ogujja, mu kiseera kyennyini, ndikomawo gy’oli, ne Saala alizaala omwana owoobulenzi.”
Biribi boro Awurade ahoɔden so sɛ ɔbɛyɛ? Afe sɛsɛɛ a mɛsane aba sɛdeɛ mahyɛ wo ho bɔ no, na wo yere Sara awo ɔbabarima.”
15 Naye Saala ne yeegaana ng’agamba nti, “Si sese,” kubanga yali atidde. N’amuddamu nti, “Nedda osese.”
Na Sara suro enti, ɔtwaa atorɔ sɛ, “Mansere.” Nanso, Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ nokorɛ turodoo sɛ wosereeɛ.”
16 Awo abasajja bwe bavaayo ne bagenda, ne boolekera oluuyi lwa Sodomu; Ibulayimu n’abawerekerako.
Mmarima no kraa sɛ wɔrekɔ no, wɔde wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Sodom. Abraham kɔgyaa wɔn kwan.
17 Mukama n’agamba mu mutima gwe nti, “Ibulayimu namukweka kye ŋŋenda okukola?
Afei, Awurade kaa sɛ, “Adeɛ a mabɔ me tirim sɛ mɛyɛ no, memfa nsie Abraham anaa?
18 Ibulayimu agenda kufuuka eggwanga eddene, ery’amaanyi, era mu ye, amawanga gonna mwe galiweerwa omukisa.
Ɛyɛ nokorɛ turodoo sɛ Abraham bɛyɛ ɔman kɛseɛ a ɛwɔ tumi. Na ɛnam Abraham so na wɔbɛhyira amanaman a ɛwɔ asase so nyinaa.
19 Mmulonze alagire abaana be n’abantu be abaliddawo okukwatanga ekkubo lya Mukama nga bakola eby’obutuukirivu era nga ba mazima, Mukama alyoke atuukirize ekyo kye yasuubiza Ibulayimu.”
Ɛfiri sɛ, mapa Abraham sɛ ɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ ne mma ne ne fiefoɔ Awurade kwan. Na wɔayɛ ade pa ne ade tenenee a ɛsɔ Awurade ani. Sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Awurade bɔ a ɔhyɛɛ Abraham no bɛba mu.”
20 Awo Mukama n’agamba nti, “Olw’okunkaabirira okusukkiridde olw’ebibi bya Sodomu ne Ggomola ebingi ennyo,
Afei, Awurade kaa sɛ, “Mate nnebɔne a ɛyɛ duru a ɛrekɔ so wɔ Sodom ne Gomora no.
21 nzija kukka ndabe obanga ddala bakozi ba bibi ng’okunkaabirira olw’ebibi byabwe okutuuse gye ndi bwe kuli, era obanga si bwe kiri nnaamanya.”
Mɛkɔ hɔ makɔhwɛ sɛ, deɛ wɔyɛ no yɛ bɔne a ɛyɛ duru, sɛdeɛ mate no anaa. Sɛ ɛnte saa nso a, mɛhunu.”
22 Awo abasajja ne bakyuka okuva awo, ne batambula okwolekera Sodomu; naye Ibulayimu n’asigala ng’akyayimiridde mu maaso ga Mukama.
Na mmarima baasa no mu baanu danee wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Sodom. Nanso, Abraham deɛ, na ɔda so gyina Awurade anim.
23 Awo Ibulayimu n’amusemberera n’agamba nti, “Ddala olizikiriza abatuukirivu awamu n’ababi?
Afei, Abraham twe bɛn Onyankopɔn bisaa no sɛ, “Wobɛsɛe nnipa tenenee ne nnipa bɔnefoɔ nyinaa afra anaa?
24 Singa mu kibuga mulimu abatuukirivu amakumi ataano onookizikiriza n’otokisonyiwa olw’abatuukirivu amakumi ataano abakirimu?
Na sɛ nnipa tenenee aduonum wɔ kuro no mu a wobɛsɛe kuro no a worenhwɛ saa nnipa tenenee aduonum no ho nnyae kuro no sɛeɛ?
25 Kireme okuba gy’oli okukola ekintu bwe kityo, okutta abatuukirivu awamu n’ababi, abatuukirivu ne benkana n’ababi! Kireme kuba bwe kityo! Omulamuzi ow’ensi yonna teyandisaanye akole kituufu?”
Ɛmpare wo sɛ wobɛyɛ saa, sɛ wobɛkum nnipa tenenee ne nnipa bɔnefoɔ afra, de asotwe korɔ no ara bɛma nnipa tenenee ne nnipa bɔnefoɔ. Ɛmpare wo! Deɛ ɔbu asase nyinaa atɛn no remmu atɛntenenee anaa?”
26 Mukama n’agamba nti, “Bwe nnaasanga mu Sodomu abatuukirivu amakumi ataano mu kibuga omwo nzija kusonyiwa ekibuga kyonna ku lwabwe.”
Na Awurade kaa sɛ, “Sɛ mehunu nnipa tenenee aduonum wɔ Sodom kuro no mu a, wɔn enti, merensɛe kuro no.”
27 Ibulayimu n’addamu nti, “Laba nnyinziza okwogera ne Mukama, nze ani, nze enfuufu n’evvu!
Na Abraham bisaa sɛ, “Afei, me a meyɛ nsõ ne dɔteɛ a mensɛ hwee, nanso masi me bo ne Awurade akasa yi,
28 Singa abatuukirivu babulako bataano okuwera amakumi ataano, onoozikiriza ekibuga kubanga kubulako bataano?” N’amuddamu nti, “Sijja kukizikiriza, bwe nnaasangamu abatuukirivu amakumi ana mu abataano abampulira.”
sɛ ɛba sɛ nnipa tenenee no dodoɔ yɛ aduanan enum nso ɛ? Esiane saa nnipa enum a wɔafiri nnipa tenenee aduonum no so ama aka nnipa tenenee aduanan enum no enti, wobɛsɛe kuro mu no nyinaa anaa?” Onyankopɔn buaa sɛ, “Sɛ mehunu nnipa tenenee aduanan enum wɔ kuro no mu a, merensɛe no.”
29 Ate Ibulayimu n’amugamba nti, “Singa musangibwamu amakumi ana.” N’amuddamu nti, “Ku lw’amakumi ana sijja kukizikiriza.”
Abraham toaa nʼadebisa no so sɛ, “Sɛ ɛba sɛ, nnipa tenenee aduanan pɛ na wɔwɔ kuro no mu ɛ?” Na Awurade buaa Abraham sɛ, “Nnipa tenenee aduanan no enti, merensɛe kuro no.”
30 Ate n’agamba nti, “Kale nno Mukama aleme okunsunguwalira, nange nnaayogera. Singa musangibwamu amakumi asatu.” N’addamu nti, “Sijja kukizikiriza singa musangibwamu amakumi asatu.”
Abraham kɔɔ so srɛɛ bio sɛ, “Mesrɛ wo, Awurade, mma wo bo mfu me, ma menkasa. Sɛ ɛba sɛ nnipa tenenee aduasa na wɔwɔ kuro no mu nso ɛ?” Awurade buaa sɛ, “Sɛ mehunu nnipa tenenee aduasa a, merensɛe kuro no.”
31 N’agamba nti, “Laba ŋŋumye ne njogera ne Mukama. Singa musangibwamu amakumi abiri.” N’agamba nti, “Ku lw’amakumi abiri sijja kukizikiriza.”
Afei, Abraham bisaa sɛ, “Masi me bo ne Awurade akasa yi, ɛba sɛ nnipa tenenee aduonu pɛ na wɔwɔ kuro no mu ɛ?” Onyankopɔn buaa sɛ, “Saa nnipa tenenee aduonu no enti, merensɛe kuro no.”
32 Ate n’agamba nti, “Kale Mukama aleme okukwatibwa obusungu, nnaayongera okwogera, naye luno lwokka. Singa kkumi lye linaasangibwamu.” N’addamu nti, “Ku lw’abo ekkumi sijja kukizikiriza.”
Abraham kɔɔ so bisaa sɛ, “Ao, Awurade, mma wo bo mfu me; ma memmisa mʼasɛm baako pɛ a ɛtwa toɔ. Sɛ ɛba sɛ, nnipa tenenee edu na wɔwɔ kuro no mu nso ɛ?” Awurade buaa sɛ, “Saa nnipa tenenee edu no enti, merensɛe kuro no.”
33 Mukama bwe yamala okwogera ne Ibulayimu n’agenda, ne Ibulayimu n’addayo ewuwe.
Ɛberɛ a Awurade ne Abraham kasa wieeɛ no, ɔgyaa Abraham hɔ kɔeɛ. Abraham nso sane kɔɔ nʼatenaeɛm.
