< 1 Mose 17 >
1 Abram dii mfeɛ aduɔkron nkron no, Awurade yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no kaa sɛ, “Mene Otumfoɔ Onyankopɔn, nante mʼanim na yɛ pɛ.
Pamene Abramu anali ndi zaka 99, Yehova anamuonekera nati, “Ine ndine Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse. Ukhale munthu wochita zolungama nthawi zonse.
2 Mɛsi apam a ɛda me ne wo ntam no so dua, na mama wʼasefoɔ adɔɔso.”
Ndipo Ine ndikulonjeza kuti ndidzakupatsa zidzukulu zambiri.”
3 Abram de nʼanim butuu fam, na Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ,
Pomwepo Abramu anadziponya pansi ndipo Mulungu anati kwa iye,
4 “Me fa mu deɛ, saa apam yi na ɛda me ne wo ntam: wobɛyɛ aman bebree agya.
“Pangano langa ndi iwe ndi ili: Udzakhala kholo la mitundu yambiri ya anthu.
5 Wɔremfrɛ wo Abram bio. Wɔbɛfrɛ wo Abraham, ɛfiri sɛ, mayɛ wo aman bebree agya.
Sudzatchedwanso Abramu; dzina lako lidzakhala Abrahamu, chifukwa ndakusandutsa kukhala kholo la mitundu yambiri ya anthu.
6 Mɛma wʼasefoɔ adɔɔso. Wɔbɛyɛ amanaman bebree na ahemfo nso afiri wɔn mu.
Ndidzakupatsa zidzukulu zambiri motero kuti mitundu yambiri ya anthu idzatuluka mwa iwe. Mafumunso adzatuluka mwa iwe.
7 Mɛma mʼapam no ayɛ daapem apam a ɛbɛda me ne wo ne wʼasefoɔ ne awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛbɛba no ntam. Na mɛyɛ wo ne wʼasefoɔ Onyankopɔn.
Pangano langa ndi iwe pamodzi ndi zidzukulu za mibado ya mʼtsogolo lidzakhala la muyaya. Ndidzakhala Mulungu wako ndi Mulungu wa zidzukulu zako.
8 Mede Kanaan asase a ɛnnɛ wote so sɛ ɔhɔhoɔ no nyinaa bɛma wo ne wʼasefoɔ a wɔbɛba akyire no nyinaa. Ɛbɛyɛ asase a ɛyɛ wʼagyapadeɛ afebɔɔ. Na mɛyɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn.”
Dziko lonse la Kanaani, limene iwe ukukhala tsopano, ndalipereka kwa iwe ndi kwa zidzukulu zako kuti likhale chuma chanu mpaka muyaya. Ndipo Ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wa zidzukulu zako.”
9 Afei, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Abraham sɛ, “Wo deɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wo ne wʼasefoɔ ne wʼasefoɔ a wɔbɛba akyire no di mʼapam no so.
Kenaka Mulungu anati kwa Abrahamu, “Koma iwe pamodzi ndi zidzukulu zako zobwera pambuyo pako mʼmibado ya mʼtsogolomo, sungani pangano langali.
10 Yei ne mʼapam a ɛda me ne wo ntam a ɛsɛ sɛ wo ne wʼasefoɔ ne wʼasefoɔ a wɔbɛba akyire no di so. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwa ɔbarima biara twetia.
Iwe pamodzi ndi zidzukulu zako zobwera pambuyo pako muzisunga pangano ili loti mwamuna aliyense pakati panupa azichita mdulidwe.
11 Ɛsɛ sɛ motwa twetia. Ɛno na ɛbɛyɛ apam a ɛda me ne mo ntam no ho nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ.
Kuyambira tsopano muzichita mdulidwe ndipo ichi chidzakhala chizindikiro cha pangano langa ndi iwe.
12 Ɔbarima biara a ɔyɛ wʼaseni a wɔbɛwo no no, ɔdi nnawɔtwe pɛ a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwa no twetia. Nkoa a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ wo fie ne ɔnanani biara a woyii sika tɔɔ no firii ɔmamfrani nkyɛn a ɔnyɛ wʼaseni no nso, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwa no twetia saa ara.
Kuyambira tsopano mpaka mibado ya mʼtsogolomo mwana wamwamuna aliyense pakati panu amene wakwana masiku asanu ndi atatu ayenera kuchita mdulidwe. Awa ndi ana obadwa mʼbanja lako, kapena akapolo ochita kugula ndi ndalama, mlendo osakhala wa mʼmbumba yako.
13 Sɛ wɔwoo no wo fie oo, sɛ nso, wokarii sika kɔtɔɔ no oo, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwa no twetia. Saa honam mu apam yi bɛyɛ daapem apam.
Achite mdulidwe ndithu mwana wamwamuna aliyense, mbadwa ngakhale kapolo wochita kugula ndi ndalama, ndipo ichi chidzakhala chizindikiro pa thupi lanu cha pangano langa lamuyaya.
14 Wɔbɛpam ɔbarima biara a wɔntwaa no twetia no afiri ne nkurɔfoɔ mu, ɛfiri sɛ, saa onipa no anni mʼapam no so.”
Mwamuna aliyense amene adzakhala wosachita mdulidwe adzachotsedwa pakati pa anthu ake chifukwa sanasunge pangano langa.”
15 Onyankopɔn sane ka kyerɛɛ Abraham sɛ, “Ɛfa wo yere Sarai ho nso, ɛfiri ɛnnɛ rekɔ, woremfrɛ no Sarai bio. Wobɛfrɛ no Sara.
Mulungu anatinso kwa Abrahamu, “Sarai mkazi wako, sudzamutchanso Sarai; dzina lake lidzakhala Sara.
16 Mɛhyira no, na mɛma no awo ɔbabarima ama wo. Mɛhyira no ma wabɛyɛ aman nyinaa maame. Nʼasefoɔ mu na amanaman mu ahemfo bɛfiri.”
Ndidzamudalitsa ndipo adzakubalira mwana wamwamuna. Ndidzamudalitsa kuti akhale mayi wa mitundu ya anthu; mafumu a anthuwo adzachokera mwa iye.”
17 Abraham de nʼanim butuu fam bio. Ɔsere bisaa ne ho sɛ, “Ɛbɛtumi aba sɛ ɔbarima a wadi mfeɛ ɔha bɛwo ɔba anaa? Sara nso a wadi mfeɛ aduɔkron no nso, ɔbɛtumi awo ɔba anaa?”
Abrahamu anadzigwetsa pansi pamaso pa Yehova, Iye anaseka nati, “Kodi munthu wa zaka 100 nʼkubala mwana? Kodi Sara adzabereka mwana pa msinkhu wa zaka makumi asanu ndi anayi?”
18 Na Abraham ka kyerɛɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ, “Ao, Onyankopɔn ɛnneɛ, hyira Ismael!”
Ndipo Abrahamu anati kwa Mulungu, “Bwanji mumudalitse Ismaeli.”
19 Na Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Mmom, wo yere Sara bɛwo ɔbabarima ama wo, na wobɛto no edin Isak, a aseɛ ne Sereɛ. Me ne no bɛyɛ daapem apam a ɛbɛtena hɔ ama nʼasefoɔ a wɔbɛba akyire no nyinaa.
Koma Mulungu anati, “Ayi, koma mkazi wako Sara adzakubalira mwana wamwamuna, ndipo udzamutcha Isake. Ndidzasunga pangano langa losatha ndi iyeyu komanso ndi zidzukulu zobwera pambuyo pake.
20 Na Ismael ho asɛm a wokaeɛ no nso, mate. Mɛhyira no ama nʼase adɔre bebree. Ɔbɛyɛ aberempɔn dumienu agya. Na mɛma no ayɛ ɔman kɛseɛ.
Koma za Ismaeli, ndamva. Ndidzamudalitsadi, ndipo adzakhala ndi zidzukulu zambiri. Iye adzakhala kholo la mafumu khumi ndi awiri ndipo mwa iye mudzatuluka mtundu waukulu wa anthu.
21 Nanso, me ne Isak a Sara bɛwo no, afe sɛsɛɛ no, na ɛbɛyɛ mʼapam no.”
Koma ndidzasunga pangano langali ndi Isake amene Sara adzakubalira pofika nthawi ngati ino chaka chamawa.”
22 Onyankopɔn kasa kyerɛɛ Abraham wieeɛ no, ɔgyaa no hɔ kɔeɛ.
Atatha kuyankhula, Mulungu anamuchokera Abrahamu.
23 Saa ɛda no ara, Abraham faa ne babarima Ismael ne mmarima a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ ne fie ne mmarima a wɔtɔɔ wɔn firii ananafoɔ nkyɛn, twitwaa wɔn nyinaa twetia, sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no no.
Tsono Abrahamu anachita mdulidwe mwana wake Ismaeli ndi onse amene anali mʼbanja lake, mbadwa ngakhale kapolo ochita kugula ndi ndalama, monga mmene Mulungu analamulira.
24 Wɔtwaa Abraham twetia no, na wadi mfeɛ aduɔkron nkron.
Abrahamu anali ndi zaka 99 pamene anachita mdulidwe,
25 Ne babarima Ismael nso, wɔtwaa no twetia no, na wadi mfeɛ dumiɛnsa.
ndipo mwana wake Ismaeli anali ndi zaka khumi ndi zitatu;
26 Saa ɛda no ara, na wɔtwaa Abraham ne ne ba Ismael nyinaa twetia.
Onse, Abrahamu ndi mwana wake Ismaeli, anachita mdulidwe tsiku limodzi.
27 Ɔbarima biara a ɔwɔ Abraham fie, wɔn a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ Abraham fie ne ɔbarima biara a wɔtɔɔ no firii ɔnanani bi nkyɛn no, wɔtwitwaa wɔn nyinaa twetia, kaa Abraham ho.
Aliyense wamwamuna wa pa banja pa Abrahamu, kuphatikizapo iwo amene anabadwira pa banja pomwepo kapena akapolo ogula ndi ndalama kwa alendo, anachita mdulidwe.
