1 Afei, Abraham tu firii hɔ kɔɔ anafoɔ mantam asase bi a wɔfrɛ no Negeb kɔtenaa nkuro Kades ne Sur ntam. Ɔtenaa Gerar kakra.

2 Abraham maa nnipa no tee aseɛ sɛ, Sara yɛ ne nuabaa. Enti, Gerarhene Abimelek soma kɔfaa Sara baa nʼahemfie.

3 Nanso, Onyankopɔn soo Abimelek daeɛ, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wosɛ owuo, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbaa a woakɔfa no no yɛ obi yere.”

4 Nanso, na Abimelek nnya ne Sara nnaeɛ, enti ɔkaa sɛ, “Awurade, enti wobɛsɛe onipa a ɔnyɛɛ bɔne bi?

5 Abraham ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Ɔyɛ me nuabaa.’ Na Sara no nso kaa sɛ, ‘Ɔyɛ me nuabarima.’ Enti mede adwenem fann ne akoma mu teɛ na meyɛɛ deɛ meyɛeɛ no.”

6 Afei, Onyankopɔn soo Abimelek daeɛ bio ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ nokorɛ turodoo sɛ, wode adwenem fann ne akoma mu teɛ na ɛyɛɛ deɛ woyɛeɛ no; ɛno enti, mamma woanyɛ bɔne antia me. Ɛno enti na mamma woamfa wo ho anka no no.

10 Afei, Abimelek bisaa Abraham sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn adwene na ɛkaa wo a ɛmaa woyɛɛ saa?”

11 Abraham buaa sɛ, “Mesusuu sɛ, nokorɛm, Onyankopɔn biara nni mo mu, ne saa enti, me yere enti, mobɛtumi akum me.

12 Yei akyiri no, ampa ara, ɔyɛ me nuabaa. Yɛfiri agya korɔ. Yɛmfiri ɛna korɔ. Ɛno enti na mewaree no no.

13 Na ɛberɛ a Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ me Abraham sɛ, mentu mfiri mʼagya fie nkɔ asase a ɔbɛkyerɛ me so no, me nso, meka kyerɛɛ Sara sɛ, ‘Adɔeɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ me nie: baabiara a yɛbɛduru no, ka sɛ, meyɛ wo nuabarima.’ ”

14 Enti, Abimelek de nnwan, anantwie, nkoa ne mfenaa brɛɛ Abraham. Na ɔde ne yere Sara sane brɛɛ no.

15 Abimelek kaa sɛ, “Mʼasasetam na ɛda wʼanim yi, ɛso baabiara a wopɛ sɛ wotena no, fa.”

16 Abimelek ka kyerɛɛ Sara nso sɛ, “Mede dwetɛ kilogram dubaako ne fa rema wo nuabarima no. Yei ne mpatadeɛ a mede rema wo wɔ bɔne a wɔde too wo so no, wɔ wɔn a wɔka wo ho no nyinaa anim. Asodie biara nna wo so.”

11 Abraham tee saa asɛm no, ɛsiane ne babarima Ismael enti, ne werɛ hoo yie.

Wɔbuaa Yakob sɛ, “Yɛfiri Haran.”

5 Yakob sane bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Monim Nahor nana Laban anaa?”

Nnwanhwɛfoɔ no nso buaa no sɛ, “Aane, yɛnim no.”

14 Laban ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, nokorɛ ni, “woyɛ me busuani.” Na Yakob tenaa Laban nkyɛn bosome.

Yakob Ware Laban Mmammaa Lea Ne Rahel
