1 Mose 21
1 Afei, Awurade hunuu Sara mmɔbɔ, sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛɛ no bɔ no.
Nowe the Lord visited Sarah, as he had saide, and did vnto her according as he had promised.
2 Sara nyinsɛneeɛ, na ɔwoo ɔbabarima maa Abraham wɔ ne nkɔkoraaberɛm, ɛberɛ a Awurade hyɛɛ no bɔ no mu pɛpɛɛpɛ.
For Sarah conceiued, and bare Abraham a sonne in his olde age, at the same season that God tolde him.
3 Abraham too ɔbabarima a Sara woo no maa no no edin Isak, a aseɛ ne Sereɛ.
And Abraham called his sonnes name that was borne vnto him, which Sarah bare him, Izhak.
4 Ɛberɛ a Isak dii nnawɔtwe no, ɔtwaa no twetia, sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ no no.
Then Abraham circumcised Izhak his sonne, when he was eight dayes olde, as God had commanded him.
5 Wɔwoo Isak maa Abraham no, na wadi mfeɛ ɔha.
So Abraham was an hundreth yeere olde, when his sonne Izhak was borne vnto him.
6 Afei, Sara kaa sɛ, “Onyankopɔn ama masere. Na obiara a ɔbɛte saa asɛm yi ne me bɛbom asere.”
Then Sarah said, God hath made me to reioyce: all that heare will reioyce with me.
7 Sara ka kaa ho sɛ, “Hwan na ɔsoo ho daeɛ ka kyerɛɛ Abraham sɛ, Sara bɛwo mma. Nanso, ne nkɔkoraaberɛm yi, mawo ɔbabarima ama no.”
Againe she said, Who would haue saide to Abraham, that Sarah shoulde haue giuen children sucke? for I haue borne him a sonne in his olde age.
8 Abɔfra no nyiniiɛ, ma wɔtwaa no nufoɔ. Ɛda a wɔtwaa Isak nufoɔ no, Abraham too ɛpono kɛseɛ.
Then the childe grewe and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Izhak was weaned.
9 Nanso, Sara hunuu sɛ, ɔbabarima a nʼafenawa Misraimni Hagar woo no maa Abraham no redi Isak ho fɛ.
And Sarah sawe the sonne of Hagar the Egyptian (which she had borne vnto Abraham) mocking.
10 Enti, Sara ka kyerɛɛ Abraham sɛ, “Pam saa afenaa yi ne ne babarima yi firi ha; na Isak ne saa afenaa babarima yi nni wʼagyadeɛ biara mu kyɛfa.”
Wherefore she saide vnto Abraham, Cast out this bond woman and her sonne: for ye sonne of this bonde woman shall not be heire with my sonne Izhak.
11 Abraham tee saa asɛm no, ɛsiane ne babarima Ismael enti, ne werɛ hoo yie.
And this thing was very grieuous in Abrahams sight, because of his sonne.
12 Nanso, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Abraham sɛ, “Mma wo babarima Ismael ne wʼafenaa Hagar ho asɛm no nnha wo bebree. Asɛm biara a Sara bɛka akyerɛ wo no, tie, ɛfiri sɛ, Isak so na wɔnam bɛkan wʼasefoɔ.
But God said vnto Abraham, Let it not be grieuous in thy sight for the childe, and for thy bonde woman: in all that Sarah shall say vnto thee, heare her voyce: for in Izhak shall thy seede be called.
13 Mɛma afenaa no babarima Ismael no nso asefoɔ ayɛ ɔman kɛseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno nso yɛ wʼaseni.”
As for the sonne of the bond woman, I will make him a nation also, because he is thy seede.
14 Adeɛ kyee anɔpatutuutu no, Abraham faa aduane ne nsuo a ɛgu aboa nwoma mu, de maa Hagar. Ɔde aduane no ne nsuo no sisii Hagar mmati so, ka kyerɛɛ ɔne ne ba Ismael no sɛ, wɔnkɔ. Ɔfirii hɔ kɔkyinkyinii Beer-Seba ɛserɛ so a na ɔnhunu baabi a ɔrekɔ.
So Abraham arose vp early in ye morning, and tooke bread, and a bottell of water, and gaue it vnto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the childe also, and sent her away: who departing wandred in the wildernesse of Beer-sheba.
15 Nsuo a ɛwɔ aboa nwoma no mu saeɛ no, ɔde ne babarima no kɔhintaa wira no mu baabi.
And when the water of the bottell was spent, she cast the childe vnder a certaine tree.
16 Afei, ɔkɔtenaa akyiri baabi a woto ɛboɔ a ɛbɛtɔ, kaa sɛ, “Merentumi nhwɛ sɛ abarimaa no bɛwu.” Na ɛberɛ a Hagar te hɔ saa no, ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ suiɛ.
Then she went and sate her ouer against him a farre off about a bowe shoote: for she said, I will not see the death of the child. and she sate downe ouer against him, and lift vp her voyce and wept.
17 Onyankopɔn tee sɛ abarimaa no resu. Onyankopɔn ɔbɔfoɔ frɛɛ Hagar firi soro bisaa no sɛ, “Hagar! Asɛm bɛn na ɛha wo? Nsuro, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn ate abarimaa no su wɔ baabi a ɔda no.
Then God heard the voyce of ye childe, and the Angel of God called to Hagar from heauen, and said vnto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? feare not, for God hath heard the voyce of the childe where he is.
18 Pagya abarimaa no, ɛfiri sɛ, mɛma no ayɛ ɔman kɛseɛ.”
Arise, take vp the childe, and holde him in thine hand: for I will make of him a great people.
19 Afei, Onyankopɔn buee Hagar ani, ma ɔhunuu subura bi. Ɔde aboa nwoma no kɔsaa nsuo ma, ɛnna ɔmaa abarimaa no bi nomeeɛ.
And God opened her eyes, and she sawe a well of water. so she went and filled the bottell with water, and gaue the boy drinke.
20 Onyankopɔn adom enti, abarimaa no nyiniiɛ. Ɔtenaa ɛserɛ no so hunuu agyantoɔ yie.
So God was with the childe, and he grewe and dwelt in the wildernesse, and was an archer.
21 Ɛberɛ a ɔte Paran ɛserɛ so no, ne maame kɔfaa ɔbaa firi Misraim asase so de no brɛɛ no awadeɛ.
And he dwelt in the wildernesse of Paran, and his mother tooke him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
22 Saa ɛberɛ no mu, ɔhene Abimelek ne ne sahene Pikol baa Abraham nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Biribiara a woyɛ no, Onyankopɔn ka wo ho.
And at that same time Abimelech and Phichol his chief captaine spake vnto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest.
23 Enti afei, di nse ka ntam wɔ Onyankopɔn anim kyerɛ me wɔ ha sɛ, worentwa me mma anaa mʼasefoɔ nkontompo. Saa ayamyɛ a mayɛ wo no, saa ara na fa yɛ me ne ɔman a wote so sɛ ɔmamfrani no.”
Nowe therefore sweare vnto me here by God, that thou wilt not hurt me, nor my children, nor my childrens children: thou shalt deale with me, and with the countrey, where thou hast bene a stranger, according vnto the kindnesse that I haue shewed thee.
24 Abraham penee so sɛ, “Meka saa ntam no!”
Then Abraham said, I will sweare.
25 Afei, Abraham de subura bi a Abimelek nkoa de aniɛden afa no ho asɛm kɔtoo Abimelek anim.
And Abraham rebuked Abimelech for a well of water, which Abimelechs seruants had violently taken away.
26 Nanso, Abimelek kaa sɛ, “Mennim onipa ko a ɔyɛɛ saa adeɛ no. Woammɔ me ho amaneɛ. Ɛnnɛ na mate saa asɛm yi.”
And Abimelech saide, I knowe not who hath done this thing: also thou toldest me not, neither heard I of it but this day.
27 Enti, Abraham de nnwan ne anantwie brɛɛ Abimelek. Na mmarima baanu yi de yɛɛ apam.
Then Abraham tooke sheepe and beeues, and gaue them vnto Abimelech: and they two made a couenant.
28 Abraham yii nnwanten mma abereɛ nson firii nnwankuo no mu gyinaa fa.
And Abraham set seuen lambes of the flocke by themselues.
29 Na Abimelek bisaa Abraham sɛ, “Nnwanten mma abereɛ nson a woayi wɔn agyina fa yi ase kyerɛ sɛn?”
Then Abimelech said vnto Abraham, What meane these seuen lambes, which thou hast set by themselues?
30 Abraham buaa sɛ, “Nʼasekyerɛ ara ne sɛ, ɛyɛ akyɛdeɛ a mede rema wo de adi adanseɛ sɛ, me na metuu saa abura yi.”
And he answered, Because thou shalt receiue of mine hand these seuen lambes, that it may be a witnes vnto me, that I haue digged this well.
31 Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no rekorɔ no, wɔfrɛɛ saa abura no, Beer-Seba a aseɛ ne Ntanka Abura, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛhɔ na wɔn baanu yɛɛ apam no.
Wherefore the place is called Beer-sheba, because there they both sware.
32 Wɔyɛɛ apam no wiee wɔ Beer-Seba no, ɔhene Abimelek ne ne Sahene Pikol sane kɔɔ Filistifoɔ asase so.
Thus made they a couenant at Beer-sheba: afterward Abimelech and Phichol his chiefe captaine rose vp, and turned againe vnto the land of the Philistims.
33 Abraham nso duaa dua bi a wɔfrɛ no ɛsɛnteɛ wɔ abura no ho wɔ Beer-Seba. Ɛhɔ na daa na ɔsom Awurade teasefoɔ no.
And Abraham planted a groue in Beer-sheba, and called there on the Name of ye Lord, the euerlasting God.
34 Abraham tenaa Filistifoɔ asase no so sɛ ɔmamfrani nna bebree.
And Abraham was a stranger in the Philistims land a long season.
