1 Asɛm bɛn na yɛbɛka afa yɛn honam fam tete agya Abraham ho? Osuahu bɛn na onyae?
2 Sɛ wɔnam nneɛma a ɔyɛe so buu no bem a, anka ɔwɔ biribi a ɔde bɛhoahoa ne ho. Nanso ɔrentumi nhoahoa ne ho wɔ Onyankopɔn anim.
3 Kyerɛwsɛm no kyerɛ yɛn se, “Abraham gyee Onyankopɔn dii; na ɛno so na ɛnam maa Onyankopɔn gyee no sɛ ɔtreneeni no.”
4 Onipa a ɔyɛ adwuma no fata nʼakatua; ɛnsɛ sɛ wobu nʼakatua no sɛ akyɛde, na mmom, ɛyɛ biribi a wayɛ ho adwuma anya.
5 Ɛnyɛ nnwuma bi a onipa yɛ na ɛbɛma Onyankopɔn abu no bem. Onyankopɔn gye nnebɔneyɛfo to mu, efisɛ wɔwɔ gyidi wɔ ne mu.
6 Dawid ka asɛm koro no ara se nhyira a efi Onyankopɔn nkyɛn ba onipa a Onyankopɔn agye no ato mu so. Saa nhyira yi mfi nnipa nnwuma mu. Ɛno nti Dawid kae se:
7 “Nhyira ne wɔn a wɔde wɔn amumɔyɛ akyɛ wɔn, na wɔakata wɔn bɔne so.
8 Nhyira nka onipa a Awurade mmu ne bɔne ngu ne so da.”
9 Saa anigye a Dawid ka ho asɛm no wɔ hɔ ma twetiatwafo nko ana? Dabi. Ɛwɔ hɔ ma wɔn nso a wontwaa twetia no; efisɛ yɛakenkan afi Kyerɛwsɛm no mu se, “Abraham gyee Onyankopɔn dii, na esiane ne gyidi nti, Onyankopɔn gyee no sɛ ɔtreneeni.”
10 Bere bɛn na saa asɛm yi sii? Esii ansa na wɔretwa Abraham twetia anaa Abraham twetiatwa no akyi na esii? Esii ansa, na ɛnyɛ twetiatwa no akyi na esii.
11 Akyiri yi na wotwaa no twetia na ne twetiatwa no yɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, na Onyankopɔn agye no sɛ ɔtreneeni ansa na wɔretwa no twetia. Enti Abraham yɛ Honhom mu agya ma wɔn a wogye Onyankopɔn di nyinaa na wagye wɔn sɛ atreneefo a wontwaa wɔn twetia nso.
12 Saa ara nso na Abraham yɛ agya ma obiara a wɔatwa no twetia na ɔwɔ gyidi sɛnea na Abraham wɔ gyidi ansa na wɔretwa no twetia no.
13 Ɛnyɛ mmara no so na wɔnam hyɛɛ Abraham ne nʼasefo bɔ sɛ wɔbɛyɛ wiase adedifo, mmom ɛnam trenee a efi gyidi mu so.
14 Sɛ wɔn a wodi Mmara so yɛ adedifo a, ɛno de na gyidi nka hwee, na bɔhyɛ no nso so nni mfaso,
15 efisɛ mmara de abufuwhyew ba. Na sɛ mmara nni hɔ a, mmarato nni hɔ.
16 Enti bɔhyɛ no fi gyidi mu sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ebefi adom mu na ɛbɛtena hɔ ama Abraham asefo nyinaa; ɛnyɛ wɔn a wɔwɔ mmara no ase nko ara, na mmom wɔn a wɔwɔ gyidi sɛ Abraham nso. Ɔyɛ yɛn nyinaa agya.
17 Sɛnea wɔakyerɛw no, “Mayɛ wo aman bebree agya.” Onyankopɔn kaa saa, efi sɛ, Abraham gyee Onyankopɔn a ɔma awufo nya nkwa, na ɔyɛ nneɛma foforo fi nea enni hɔ mu dii.
18 Bere a anidaso asa no, Abraham nyaa anidaso gye dii, enti ɔbɛyɛɛ aman bebree so agya, sɛnea na wɔaka akyerɛ no se, “Saa na wʼasefo bɛyɛ” no.
19 Abraham gyidi anhinhim bere a na ɔreyɛ adi mfe ɔha no mpo. Na onim nso sɛ ɔregye nna awu, na ne yere Sara nso rentumi nwo mma.
20 Nanso ne gyidi anhinhim, na wannye Onyankopɔn bɔhyɛ no ho akyinnye. Ɔhyɛɛ ne gyidi mu den de anuonyam maa Onyankopɔn.
21 Na ogye dii yiye sɛ Onyankopɔn betumi ayɛ nea wahyɛ ho bɔ no.
22 Eyi nti wobuu no sɛ trenee maa no.
23 Wɔkyerɛw se, “Wobuu no sɛ trenee maa no” no, wɔankyerɛw amma ɔno nko ara.
24 Na mmom wɔkyerɛw maa yɛn nso a Onyankopɔn bebu yɛn sɛ atreneefo, yɛn a yegye nea onyan Yesu, yɛn Awurade fii awufo mu di no.
25 Yɛn bɔne nti, woyii no maa owu, na wonyan no maa yɛn bembu.
