And he dwelt Isaac in Gerar.
7 Bere a Gerar mmarima bisaa Isak yere Rebeka ho asɛm no, ɔkae se, “Ɔyɛ me nuabea.” Efisɛ na osuro sɛ ɔbɛka se, “Ɔyɛ me yere.” Ɔkaa saa asɛm yi, efisɛ na osusuw sɛ, esiane ne yere Rebeka ahoɔfɛ nti, anhwɛ a na kurom hɔ mmarima akum no.
And they asked [the] men of the place of wife his and he said [is] sister my she for he was afraid to say wife my lest they should kill me [the] men of the place on Rebekah for [was] good of appearance she.

And he said Abimelech what? this have you done to us like a little he lay with one of the people wife your and you will bring on us guilt.
11 Ɛno nti, Abimelek bɔɔ ne manfo no kɔkɔ se, “Obiara a ɔde ne nsa bɛka saa ɔbarima yi, anaa ne yere no, ɔkwan biara so no wobekum no.”
And he commanded Abimelech all the people saying who [-ever] touches the man this and wife his certainly he will be put to death.

And he said to them Isaac why? have you come to me and you you hate me and you sent away me from with you.
28 Wobuaa no se, “Yehu pefee sɛ Awurade wɔ wʼafa nti, yɛasi gyinae sɛ, yɛne wo bɛyɛ apam. Apam no bɛda wo ne yɛn ntam. Pene so, na yɛne wo nyɛ saa apam no

If you will do with us harm just as not we have touched you and just as we have done with you only good and we sent away you in peace you now [are] blessed of Yahweh.
