Senesi 13
1 Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa ʻEpalame mei ʻIsipite, ko ia, mo hono uaifi, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne maʻu, pea naʻa nau ō mo Lote, ki he feituʻu tonga.
Abram tu fii Misraim. Ɔno, ne yere, Lot, nʼagyapade ne ne fifo nyinaa baa Negeb.
2 Pea naʻe koloaʻia ʻaupito ʻa ʻEpalame ʻi he fanga manu, mo e siliva, mo e koula.
Saa bere no na Abram anya ne ho a ɔwɔ nyɛmmoa, dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ pii.
3 Pea ʻalu ai pe ia ʻi hono fononga mei he feituʻu tonga ʻo aʻu ki Peteli, ki he potu naʻe tuʻu ai ʻa hono fale fehikitaki he kamataʻanga, ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Peteli mo ʻAi:
Ofii Negeb hɔ no, odii atutena ara koduu Bet-El, faako a odii kan sii ne ntamadan a ɛwɔ Bet-El ne Ai ntam no.
4 Ki he potu ʻoe ʻesifeilaulau, ʻaia naʻa ne tomuʻa fokotuʻu: pea naʻe ui ai ʻa ʻEpalame ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.
Ɛhɔ na kan no osii nʼafɔremuka. Ɛhɔ nso na ɔkɔɔ so som Awurade.
5 Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Lote foki, ʻaia naʻe ō mo ʻEpalame, ʻae fanga sipi, mo e fanga manu, mo e ngaahi fale fehikitaki.
Na Lot a ɔne Abram nam no nso yɛ ɔdefo a ɔwɔ nguan, anantwi ne asomfo bebree.
6 Pea naʻe siʻi ʻae fonua kiate kinaua ke na nofo fakataha: he naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻena meʻa, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai te na faʻa nofo fakataha.
Esiane sɛ saa bere no na Abram ne Lot nyinaa anya wɔn ho, na wɔwɔ nguan, anantwi ne asomfo pii nti, na wɔnsen asase no so.
7 Pea naʻe ai ha kē ʻi he kau tauhimanu ʻa ʻEpalame mo e kau tauhimanu ʻa Lote: pea naʻe kei nofo ʻae kakai Kēnani mo e kau Pelisi ʻi he fonua, ʻi he kuonga ko ia.
Na akasakasa taa baa Abram mmoahwɛfo ne Lot mmoahwɛfo no ntam. Saa bere no na Kanaanfo ne Perisifo nso tete asase no so.
8 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEpalame kia Lote, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha kē ʻiate kitaua, pe ʻi heʻeku kau tauhimanu mo hoʻo kau tauhimanu; he ʻoku ta kāinga.
Enti Abram ka kyerɛɛ Lot se, “Mesrɛ wo, mma akasakasa mma me ne wo anaa me mmoahwɛfo ne wo mmoahwɛfo ntam, efisɛ yɛyɛ anuanom.
9 ʻIkai ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao ʻae fonua kotoa? ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke mavahe koe ʻiate au: kapau te ke ʻi he toʻohema pea te u ʻalu au ki he toʻomataʻu; pea kapau te ke ʻalu ki he toʻomataʻu, pea te u ʻalu au ki he toʻohema.”
Ɛnyɛ asase no nyinaa na ɛda wʼanim yi? Ma yenni mpaapaemu. Sɛ wokɔ benkum a, mɛkɔ nifa, na sɛ wokɔ nifa nso a, mɛkɔ benkum.”
10 Pea naʻe sio hake ʻa Lote, pea vakai ʻe ia ki he fonua fakalelei kotoa pē ʻo Sioatani, kuo lahi ʻae vai ʻi he potu kotoa pē. ʻI he teʻeki ke fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova ʻa Sotoma mo Komola, naʻe hangē ia ko e ngoue ʻa Sihova, ʻo tatau mo e fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi he halaifonua ki Soa.
Lot hwɛɛ ne ho hyiae, huu sɛ asase a ɛda Yordan ho no yɛ asasebere. Na nsu wɔ mu baabiara te sɛ Eden turo mu anaasɛ Misraim asase a ɛda Soar fam hɔ no ara pɛ. Saa bere no, na Awurade nnya nsɛee Sodom ne Gomora ɛ.
11 Pea naʻe fili ʻe Lote maʻana, ʻae fonua tokalelei kotoa pē ʻo Sioatani; pea fononga ʻa Lote ki he feituʻu hahake: pea naʻe fakamāvae ʻakinaua.
Na Lot de nʼani kyerɛɛ apuei fam, faa asase a ɛda Yordan ho no. Eyi ne ɔkwan a Abram ne Lot faa so dii ntetewmu no.
12 Naʻe nofo ʻa ʻEpalame ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, pea nofo ʻa Lote ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻoe tokalelei, pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu hono fale fehikitaki ke hanga ki Sotoma.
Abram tenaa Kanaan asase so. Na Lot nso dii atutena wɔ nkuropɔn a ɛwowɔ nsase tamaa no so, na okosii ne ntamadan wɔ baabi a ɛbɛn Sodom.
13 Ka naʻe kovi ʻae kakai ʻo Sotoma, pea angahala ʻaupito ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
Na nnipa a wɔwɔ Sodom kurow no mu no yɛ amumɔyɛfo a daa wɔyɛ bɔne akɛseakɛse de tia Awurade.
14 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpalame, hili ʻae māvae ʻa Lote meiate ia, “Tangaki hake ni ho mata, pea sio mei he potu ʻoku ke ʻi ai ki he tokelau mo e tonga, pea ki he hahake, mo hihifo:
Lot tew ne ho fii Abram ho akyi no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Abram se, “Afei, ma wʼani so hwɛ atifi fam, anafo fam, apuei fam ne atɔe fam.
15 He ko e fonua kotoa pē ʻoku ke mamata ai, te u foaki ia kiate koe, pea ki ho hako ʻo lauikuonga.
Mede asasetam a wʼani tua yi nyinaa bɛma wo ne wʼasefo afebɔɔ.
16 Pea te u fakatupu ho hako ke hangē ko e efu ʻoe kelekele: pea kapau ʻe faʻa lau ʻe ha tangata ʻae efu ʻoe kelekele, pehē, ʻe lau foki ʻa ho hako.
Mɛma wʼasefo adɔɔso sɛ asase so mfutuma a obiara ntumi nkan.
17 Tuʻu hake, pea ʻalu atu ʻi he fonua, ʻi hono lōloa mo hono māukupu ʻo ia he te u foaki ia kiate koe.”
Sɔre, kɔ na kɔhwehwɛ asase no so nyinaa, efisɛ mede rema wo.”
18 Pea naʻe toki hiki ʻe ʻEpalame hono fale fehikitaki, pea haʻu ʻo nofo ʻi he fonua tokalelei ʻo Mamili, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Hepeloni, pea naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻae ʻesifeilaulau kia Sihova.
Enti Abram tutuu ne ntamadan bɛtenaa odum kwae bi a ɛyɛ Mamrɛ de wɔ Hebron no. Ɛhɔ na osii afɔremuka maa Awurade.
