Senesi 18
1 Pea naʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kiate ia ʻi he fonua ʻo Mamili, ʻi heʻene nofo ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻi he pupuha ʻoe ʻaho.
Awia ketee bi a Abraham te ne ntamadan a ɛwɔ Mamrɛ odum kwae kwan ano no, Awurade yii ne ho adi bio kyerɛɛ no.
2 Pea hanga hake ʻe ia hono mata ʻo sio, pea vakai, ʻoku tutuʻu mai ʻae tangata ʻe toko tolu kiate ia: pea ʻi heʻene mamata ki ai, naʻa ne lele mei he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ke fakafetaulaki kiate kinautolu, pea naʻe punou hifo ia ki he kelekele,
Abraham maa nʼani so no, ohuu sɛ mmarima baasa bi apue ne ntentenso. Ohuu wɔn no, otuu mmirika fii ne ntamadan no kwan ano kohyiaa wɔn, kotow wɔn.
3 ʻO ne pehē, “Ko hoku ʻEiki, ko eni, kapau kuo u maʻu ʻae lelei ʻi ho ʻao, ʻofa ke ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu mei hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.
Abraham kae se, “Me wura, sɛ manya adom wɔ wʼanim a, ntwa me a meyɛ wʼakoa ho nkɔ.
4 Tuku ke ʻomi ha vai siʻi, pea fufulu homou vaʻe, pea mou mālōlō ʻi he lolo ʻakau.
Momma wɔmfa nsu bi mmrɛ mo nhohoro mo anan ase, na monhome wɔ nnua yi ase kakra.
5 Pea te u ʻomi ha konga mā, pea fakafiemālie homou loto; pea hili ia te mou ʻalu; he ko ia kuo mou haʻu ai ki hoʻomou tamaioʻeiki.” Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ke ke fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea.”
Moaba mo akoa nkyɛn yi, momma mempɛ aduan kakra bi mma monka mo ano, na munnya ahoɔden nkɔ mo kwan.” Nnipa no penee so kae se, “Eye, yɛ nea wopɛ sɛ woyɛ.”
6 Pea ʻalu fakatoʻotoʻo ʻa ʻEpalahame ki he fale, kia Sela ʻo ne pehē, “Teuteu fakavave ʻae fua ʻe tolu ʻoe mahoaʻa lelei ʻo natu ia, ʻo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā, pea taʻo ia ʻi he ngotoʻumu.
Enti Abraham de ahoɔhare kɔɔ ne yere Sara nkyɛn wɔ ntamadan no mu, kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ka wo ho fa asikresiam pa susukoraa abiɛsa, na fɔtɔw na fa to brodo.”
7 Pea lele ʻa ʻEpalahame ki he fanga manu, ʻo ne toʻo mei ai ʻae ʻuhiki pulu molu mo lelei, ʻo ne ʻatu ia ki ha talavou pea naʻa ne fakatoʻotoʻo ʻa hono ngaohi.
Afei, Abraham yɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ nʼanantwibuw no mu, kɔkyeree nantwi ba a oye na wadɔ srade de no maa ne somfo ma ɔde ahoɔhare yɛɛ ne ho adwuma.
8 Pea ne toʻo mai ʻae pota, mo e huʻahuhu, pea mo e ʻuhiki pulu naʻa ne ngaohi, ʻo ne tuku ia ʻi honau ʻao; pea tuʻu ia ʻo ofi kiate kinautolu ʻi he lolo ʻakau, pea naʻa nau kai.”
Afei, ɔfaa nufusu ani srade ne nufusu ne nantwi ba a ɔde anoa aduan no, de too nnipa baasa no pon. Bere a nnipa no gu so redidi no, na ogyina wɔn nkyɛn wɔ nnua no ase.
9 Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e fē ʻa Sela, ko ho uaifi?” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi he fale fehikitaki ia.”
Nnipa no bisaa Abraham se, “Wo yere Sara wɔ he?” Abraham buaa wɔn se, “Ɔwɔ ntamadan no mu.”
10 Pea ne pehē, “Ko e moʻoni te u toe haʻu kiate koe, ʻi he kuonga totonu; pea vakai, ʻe maʻu ʻe ho uaifi ko Sela, ha tama.” Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Sela ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ʻaia naʻe ʻi hono tuʻa.
Afei, Awurade kae se, “Nea ɛbɛyɛ biara, afe sesɛɛ mɛba wo nkyɛn, na mɛba no na wo yere Sara awo ɔbabarima.” Saa bere no, na Sara gyina ntamadan no pon akyi, retie nkɔmmɔ no.
11 Pea naʻe motuʻa ʻa ʻEpalahame mo Sela, pea naʻe lahi hona taʻu: naʻe ʻikai kei ia Sela ʻae anga ʻoe fefine.
Na Abraham ne Sara nyinaa anyinyin yiye a wɔn mfe akɔ anim koraa nti, na Sara awo apa ho.
12 Ko ia naʻe katakata loto ai ʻa Sela, ʻo pehē, “He ko e moʻoni, te u nekeneka au, ka kuo u motuʻa, pea kuo motuʻa mo ʻeku ʻeiki foki?”
Sara tee asɛm no, ɔserew ne tirim, kae se, “Manya awie aberewabɔ, na me kunu nso abɔ akwakoraa yi, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na manya saa anigyede yi?”
13 Pea folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpalahame, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā naʻe kata ai ʻa Sela, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e moʻoni koā te u fanauʻi ha tama ʻeau ka kuo u motuʻa?’
Enti Awurade bisaa Abraham se, “Adɛn nti na Sara serew bisae se, ‘Ampa ara sɛ manyin adu sɛɛ yi, metumi awo ba ana?’
14 He ʻoku ai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku faingataʻa kia Sihova? ʻI he kuonga kuo kotofa te u toe haʻu kiate koe, pea ʻe maʻu ʻe ho uaifi ko Sela ʻae tama.”
Biribi boro Awurade ahoɔden so sɛ ɔbɛyɛ? Afe sesɛɛ a mɛsan aba sɛnea mahyɛ wo ho bɔ no, na wo yere Sara awo ɔbabarima.”
15 Pea fakafisi ʻa Sela ʻo pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai te u kata;” he naʻa ne manavahē. Pea ne pehē, “ʻIkai, ka naʻa ke kata pe.”
Na Sara suro nti, otwaa atoro se, “Manserew.” Nanso Onyankopɔn kae se, “Ɛyɛ nokware turodoo sɛ woserewee.”
16 Pea tuʻu hake ʻae kau tangata mei ai, pea hanga atu ki Sotoma, pea ʻalu ʻa ʻEpalahame mo kinautolu, ke moimoiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he hala.
Mmarima no kraa sɛ wɔrekɔ no, wɔde wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Sodom. Abraham kogyaa wɔn kwan.
17 Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “He te u fufū mei ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻae meʻa te u fai?
Afei, Awurade kae se, “Ade a mabɔ me tirim sɛ mɛyɛ no memfa nsie Abraham ana?
18 He ko e moʻoni ʻe hoko ʻa ʻEpalahame ko e puleʻanga lahi mo mālohi ʻaupito, pea ʻe monūʻia ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
Ɛyɛ nokware turodoo sɛ Abraham bɛyɛ ɔman kɛse a ɛwɔ tumi. Na ɛnam Abraham so na wobehyira amanaman a ɛwɔ asase so nyinaa.
19 He ʻoku ou ʻiloʻi ia, te ne fekau ʻene fānau mo hono kau nofoʻanga kotoa pē tuku fakaholo, pea te nau ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻo Sihova, ke fai ʻae angatonu, mo e fakamaau: koeʻuhi ke fakahoko ʻe Sihova kia ʻEpalahame, ʻaia kotoa pē kuo ne lea ʻaki kiate ia.”
Efisɛ mapaw Abraham sɛ ɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ ne mma ne ne fifo Awurade kwan. Na wɔayɛ ade pa ne ade trenee a ɛsɔ Awurade ani. Sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Awurade bɔ a ɔhyɛɛ Abraham no bɛba mu.”
20 Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “Koeʻuhi kuo lahi ʻae tangi ʻa Sotoma mo Komola, pea kuo hoko ʻo kovi ʻaupito ʻenau angahala;
Afei, Awurade kae se, “Mate nnebɔne a ɛyɛ duru a ɛrekɔ so wɔ Sodom ne Gomora no.
21 Ko ia te u ʻalu hifo ni, ʻo mamata, pe kuo nau fai kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e tangi ʻo ia, ʻaia kuo aʻu mai kiate au: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, pea te u ʻilo.”
Mɛkɔ hɔ akɔhwɛ sɛ, nea wɔyɛ no yɛ bɔne a ɛyɛ duru sɛnea mate no ana. Sɛ ɛnte saa nso a, mehu.”
22 Pea naʻe hanga atu mei ai ʻae mata ʻoe ongo tangata ke na ʻalu atu ki Sotoma: ka naʻe kei tuʻu pe ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
Na mmarima baasa no mu baanu dan wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Sodom. Nanso Abraham de, na ɔda so gyina Awurade anim.
23 Pea ʻunuʻunu atu ke ofi ʻa ʻEpalahame, ʻo ne pehē, “Pea te ke fakaʻauha fakataha ʻae angatonu mo e angahala?
Na Abraham twiw bɛn Onyankopɔn bisaa no se, “Wobɛsɛe nnipa trenee ne nnipa bɔnefo nyinaa afra ana?
24 Naʻa ʻoku ʻi he kolo ʻae angatonu ʻe toko nimangofulu: pea te ke fakaʻauha foki, ka ʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui ʻae potu, koeʻuhi ko e angatonu ʻe toko nimangofulu ʻoku ʻi ai?
Na sɛ nnipa trenee aduonum wɔ kurow no mu a, wobɛsɛe kurow no a worenhwɛ saa nnipa trenee aduonum no ho nnyae kurow no sɛe ana?
25 Ke mamaʻo ʻiate koe ha fai pehē, ke tāmateʻi ʻae angatonu fakataha mo e angahala, pea ke fakatatau ʻae angatonu ki he angahala, ke mamaʻo ia ʻiate koe: ʻikai ʻe fai totonu ʻae Fakamaau ʻo māmani kotoa pē?”
Ɛmpare wo sɛ wobɛyɛ saa, sɛ wubekum nnipa trenee ne nnipa bɔnefo afra, de asotwe koro no ara bɛma nnipa trenee ne nnipa bɔnefo. Ɛmpare wo! Nea obu asase nyinaa atɛn no remmu atɛntrenee ana?”
26 Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “Kapau te u ʻilo ʻi Sotoma ʻae angatonu ʻe toko nimangofulu, te u fakamoʻui ʻae potu kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko kinautolu.”
Na Awurade kae se, “Sɛ mihu nnipa trenee aduonum wɔ Sodom kurow no mu a, wɔn nti merensɛe kurow no.”
27 Pea lea ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai, ko eni kuo u lea au kia Sihova, ka ko e efu, mo e efuefu pe au:
Na Abraham bisae se, “Afei, me a meyɛ nsõ ne dɔte a mensɛ hwee, nanso masi me bo ne Awurade akasa yi,
28 Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ʻae toko nima ʻi he toko nimangofulu ʻoku angatonu: pea te ke fakaʻauha ʻae kolo kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ko e toko nima? Pea pehē ʻe ia, kapau te u ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko fāngofulu ma toko nima, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaʻauha ia.”
sɛ ɛba sɛ nnipa trenee no dodow yɛ aduanan anum nso ɛ? Esiane saa nnipa anum a wɔafi nnipa trenee aduonum no so ama aka nnipa trenee aduanan anum no nti, wobɛsɛe kurow mu no nyinaa ana?” Onyankopɔn buae se, “Sɛ mihu nnipa trenee aduanan anum wɔ kurow no mu a, merensɛe no.”
29 Pea ne toe lea kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Pea kapau ʻe ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko fāngofulu.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻikai te u fai ia, koeʻuhi koe toko fāngofulu ko ia.”
Abraham toaa nʼadebisa no so se, “Sɛ ɛba sɛ, nnipa trenee aduanan pɛ na wɔwɔ kurow no mu ɛ?” Na Awurade buaa Abraham se, “Nnipa trenee aduanan no nti, merensɛe kurow no.”
30 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOfa ke ʻoua naʻa houhau ʻa Sihova, pea te u lea: Kapau ʻe ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko tolungofulu.” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “E ʻikai te u fai ia, ʻo kapau te u ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko tolungofulu.”
Abraham kɔɔ so srɛɛ bio se, “Mesrɛ wo, Awurade, mma wo bo mfuw me, ma menkasa. Sɛ ɛba sɛ nnipa trenee aduasa na wɔwɔ kurow no mu nso ɛ?” Awurade buae se, “Sɛ mihu nnipa trenee aduasa a, merensɛe kurow no.”
31 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai, kuo u lea ni kia Sihova: Kapau ʻe ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko uofulu.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻikai te u fakaʻauha ia koeʻuhi ko e toko uofulu ko ia.”
Afei, Abraham bisae se, “Masi me bo ne Awurade akasa yi, ɛba sɛ nnipa trenee aduonu pɛ na wɔwɔ kurow no mu ɛ?” Onyankopɔn buae se, “Saa nnipa trenee aduonu no nti, merensɛe kurow no.”
32 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOfa ke ʻoua naʻa houhau ʻa Sihova, pea te u lea ni ʻo tā tuʻo taha pe; Kapau ʻe ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko hongofulu.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻikai te u fakaʻauha ia, koeʻuhi ko e toko hongofulu ko ia.”
Abraham kɔɔ so bisae se, “Awurade, mma wo bo mfuw me; ma mimmisa mʼasɛm baako pɛ a etwa to. Sɛ ɛba sɛ, nnipa trenee du na wɔwɔ kurow no mu nso ɛ?” Awurade buae se, “Saa nnipa trenee du no nti, merensɛe kurow no.”
33 Pea hāʻele atu ai ʻa Sihova ʻi hono hala, hili ʻena alea mo ʻEpalahame; pea liu mai ʻa ʻEpalahame ki hono potu.
Bere a Awurade ne Abraham kasa wiee no, ogyaw Abraham hɔ kɔe. Abraham nso san kɔɔ nʼatenae.
