1 Pea ʻi he hivangofulu ma hiva taʻu ʻoe motuʻa ʻo ʻEpalame naʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpalame, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko au, ko e ʻOtua Māfimafi; ke ke ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoku ʻao, pea ke haohaoa.
Abram dii mfe aduɔkron akron no, Awurade yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no kae se, “Mene Otumfo Nyankopɔn, nantew mʼanim na yɛ pɛ.
2 Pea te u fai ʻa ʻeku fuakava ʻiate koe mo au, pea te u fakatokolahi ʻaupito koe.”
Mesi apam a ɛda me ne wo ntam no so dua, na mama wʼasefo adɔɔso.”
3 Pea tō foʻohifo ʻa ʻEpalame ki he kelekele pea folofola ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia, ʻo pehē;
Abram de nʼanim butuu fam, na Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no se,
4 “Ko au eni, Vakai, ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻeku fuakava, pea te ke hoko ko e tamai ki he ngaahi puleʻanga lahi;
“Me fa mu de, saa apam yi na ɛda me ne wo ntam: wobɛyɛ aman bebree agya.
5 Pea ʻe ʻikai toe ui ho hingoa ko ʻEpalame, ka ko ʻEpalahame ho hingoa, he kuo u ngaohi koe “ko e tamai ki he ngaahi puleʻanga lahi.”
Wɔremfrɛ wo Abram bio. Wɔbɛfrɛ wo Abraham, efisɛ mayɛ wo aman bebree agya.
6 Pea te u ngaohi koe ke ke tupu ʻo tokolahi ʻaupito, pea te u ngaohi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga lahi ʻiate koe, pea ʻe tupu ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻiate koe.
Mɛma wʼasefo adɔɔso. Wɔbɛyɛ amanaman bebree na ahemfo nso afi wɔn mu.
7 Pea te u fakamaau ʻeku fuakava kiate koe, mo ho hako ʻe tupu ʻiate koe ʻamui, ʻi heʻenau ngaahi toʻutangata, ko e fuakava taʻengata, ke u ʻiate koe, ko e ʻOtua, pea ki ho hako ki mui ʻiate koe.
Mɛma mʼapam no ayɛ daapem apam a ɛbɛda me ne wo ne wʼasefo ne awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no ntam. Na mɛyɛ wo ne wʼasefo Nyankopɔn.
8 Pea te u foaki kiate koe, pea mo ho hako ʻe hoko mo koe, ʻae fonua ʻoku ke ʻāunofo ki ai, ʻio ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻo Kēnani, ko e tofiʻa taʻengata; pea teu ʻiate kinautolu ko honau ʻOtua.”
Mede Kanaan asase a nnɛ wote so sɛ ɔhɔho no nyinaa bɛma wo ne wʼasefo a wɔbɛba akyiri no nyinaa. Ɛbɛyɛ wʼagyapade a wo ne obi mmɔ mu hye afebɔɔ. Na mɛyɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn.”
9 Pea pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kia ʻEpalahame, “Ko ia te ke tauhi ai ʻeku fuakava, ʻa koe mo ho hako ʻe hoko mo koe ʻi honau ngaahi toʻutangata.
Afei, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Abraham se, “Wo de, ɛsɛ sɛ wo ne wʼasefo ne wʼasefo a wɔbɛba akyiri no di mʼapam no so.
10 Ko eni ʻa ʻeku fuakava, ʻaia te mou tauhi, kiate au mo kimoutolu mo ho hako ʻe tupu ʻamui ʻiate koe; E kamu ʻae tamasiʻi tangata kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu.
Eyi ne mʼapam a ɛda me ne wo ntam a ɛsɛ sɛ wo ne wʼasefo ne wʼasefo a wɔbɛba akyiri no di so. Ɛsɛ sɛ wotwa ɔbarima biara twetia.
11 Pea te mou kamu ʻae kili ʻo homou potu; pea ko e fakaʻilonga ia ʻoe fuakava kiate au mo kimoutolu.
Ɛsɛ sɛ mutwa twetia. Ɛno na ɛbɛyɛ apam a ɛda me ne mo ntam no ho nsɛnkyerɛnne.
12 Pea ko ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku ʻaho valu hono motuʻa ʻe kamu ia, ʻae tama tangata kotoa pē ʻi homou ngaahi toʻutangata, ko ia kuo fanauʻi ho fale, mo ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi hoʻo fānau, ka kuo fakatauʻaki hoʻo koloa mei he muli.
Ɔbarima biara a ɔyɛ wʼaseni a wɔbɛwo no no, odi nnaawɔtwe pɛ a, ɛsɛ sɛ wotwa no twetia. Nkoa a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ wo fi ne ɔnanani biara a wuyii sika tɔɔ no fii ɔmamfrani nkyɛn a ɔnyɛ wʼaseni no nso, ɛsɛ sɛ wotwa no twetia saa ara.
13 Ko ia ʻe tupu ʻi ho fale, mo ia kuo fakatauʻaki hoʻo koloa ke ke kamu ia; pea ʻe ʻi homou sino ʻeku fuakava, ko e fuakava taʻengata ia.
Sɛ wɔwoo no wo fi oo, sɛ nso wɔkarii sika kɔtɔɔ no oo, ɛsɛ sɛ wotwa no twetia. Saa honam mu apam yi bɛyɛ daapem apam.
14 Pea ko e tamasiʻi taʻekamu, ʻe motuhi ʻae laumālie ko ia mei hono kakai; he kuo ne siʻaki ʻeku fuakava.”
Wɔbɛpam ɔbarima biara a wontwaa no twetia no afi ne nkurɔfo mu, efisɛ saa onipa no anni mʼapam no so.”
15 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kia ʻEpalahame, “Pea koeʻuhi ko Selai ko ho uaifi, ʻe ʻikai te ke ui hono hingoa ko Selai, ka ko Sela hono hingoa.
Onyankopɔn san ka kyerɛɛ Abraham se, “Ɛfa wo yere Sarai ho nso, efi nnɛ rekɔ, woremfrɛ no Sarai bio. Wobɛfrɛ no Sara.
16 Pea te u tāpuaki ia, ʻo tuku kiate koe ʻae foha ʻiate ia; ʻio, te u tāpuaki ia, pea ʻe hoko ia, ko e faʻē ki he ngaahi puleʻanga; ʻe tupu ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻoe kakai.”
Mehyira no, na mɛma no awo ɔbabarima ama wo. Mehyira no ama wabɛyɛ aman nyinaa na. Nʼasefo mu na amanaman mu ahemfo befi.”
17 Pea tō foʻohifo ai ʻa ʻEpalahame ki he kelekele pea kata, ʻo ne pehē ʻi hono loto, “E tupu ha tama ʻiate ia ʻoku teau taʻu hono motuʻa? Pea ʻe feitama ʻa Sela, ʻaia ʻoku hivangofulu hono taʻu?
Abraham de nʼanim butuw fam bio. Ɔserew bisaa ne ho se, “Ebetumi aba sɛ ɔbarima a wadi mfe ɔha bɛwo ɔba ana? Sara nso a wadi mfe aduɔkron no nso, obetumi awo ɔba ana?”
18 Pea pehēange ʻe ʻEpalahame ki he ʻOtua, ʻofa ke moʻui ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ʻi ho ʻao.”
Na Abraham ka kyerɛɛ Onyankopɔn se, “Onyankopɔn ɛno de, hyira Ismael!”
19 Pea pehē ʻe he ʻOtua, “Ko e moʻoni ʻe fanauʻi ʻe ho uaifi ko Sela, ha tama kiate koe; pea te ke ui hono hingoa ko ʻAisake: pea te u fakamaau ʻeku fuakava kiate ia, ko e fuakava taʻengata pea mo hono hako ʻe hoko mo ia.
Na Onyankopɔn kae se, “Mmom, wo yere Sara bɛwo ɔbabarima ama wo, na wobɛto no din Isak, a ase ne Serew. Me ne no bɛyɛ daapem apam a ɛbɛtena hɔ ama nʼasefo a wɔbɛba akyiri no nyinaa.
20 Pea koeʻuhi ko ʻIsimeʻeli, kuo u fanongo kiate koe; “Vakai, kuo u tāpuaki ia, pea te u ngaohi ke tokolahi ʻaupito ia; te ne fakatupu ʻae ʻeiki ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua, pea te u ngaohi ia ko e puleʻanga lahi.
Na Ismael ho asɛm a wokae no nso, mate. Mehyira no ama nʼase adɔ bebree. Ɔbɛyɛ abirɛmpɔn dumien agya. Na mɛma no ayɛ ɔman kɛse.
21 Ka ko ʻeku fuakava te u fakamaau ia kia ʻAisake, ʻaia ʻe fanauʻi ʻe Sela kiate koe, ʻi he kuonga totonu ʻi he taʻu ʻe hoko mai ni.”
Nanso me ne Isak a Sara bɛwo no afe sesɛɛ no na ɛbɛyɛ mʼapam no.”
22 Pea ngata ai ʻene lea kiate ia, pea hāʻele hake ʻae ʻOtua meia ʻEpalahame.
Onyankopɔn kasa kyerɛɛ Abraham wiee no, ogyaw no hɔ kɔe.
23 Pea ʻave ʻe ʻEpalahame hono foha ko ʻIsimeʻeli, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fāʻele ʻi hono fale, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fakatauʻaki ʻene koloa: ʻae tama tangata kotoa pē ʻi he fale ʻo ʻEpalahame; ʻo ne kamu ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia.
Saa da no ara, Abraham faa ne babarima Ismael ne mmarima a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ ne fi ne mmarima a wɔtɔɔ wɔn fii ananafo nkyɛn, twitwaa wɔn nyinaa twetia, sɛnea Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no no.
24 Pea naʻe hivangofulu ma hiva taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻEpalahame, ʻi hono kamu.
Wotwaa Abraham twetia no, na wadi mfe aduɔkron akron.
25 Pea naʻe hongofulu ma tolu taʻu hono foha ko ʻIsimeʻeli, ʻi he kamu ʻae kili ʻo hono potu.
Ne babarima Ismael nso, wotwaa no twetia no, na wadi mfe dumiɛnsa.
26 ʻI he ʻaho pe taha ko ia naʻe kamu ai ʻa ʻEpalahame mo hono foha ko ʻIsimeʻeli,
Saa da no ara, na wotwaa Abraham ne ne ba Ismael nyinaa twetia.
27 Pea mo e tangata kotoa pē ʻo hono fale, naʻe tupu ʻi hono fale, pe fakatauʻaki ʻene koloa mei he muli, naʻa nau kamu kotoa pē mo ia.
Ɔbarima biara a ɔwɔ Abraham fi, wɔn a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ Abraham fi ne ɔbarima biara a wɔtɔɔ no fii ɔnanani bi nkyɛn no, wotwitwaa wɔn nyinaa twetia, kaa Abraham ho.
