Nantew mʼanim, na yɛ pɛ. ^a a v1 El Shaddai kyerɛ “Otumfoɔ Nyankopɔn.” Wɔ apam bɔhyɛ no ano no, yɛn Agya da ne ho adi wɔ din yi mu — Otumfoɔ a ɔno nko ara na obetumi de ɔbabarima ama Abraham ne Sara wɔ wɔn nkwakoraa mu. ²Na mede mʼapam bɛto hɔ wɔ me ne wo ntam, na mama woadɔɔso abu so.”

³Afei Abram de nʼanim butuw fam, na yɛn Agya kasa kyerɛɛ no se:

⁴“Me de, mʼapam ka wo ho, na wobɛyɛ aman bebree agya. ⁵Wɔremfrɛ wo din Abram bio, na mmom wo din bɛyɛ Abraham, efisɛ mayɛ wo aman bebree agya. ⁶Mɛma wo ase adɔɔso ara; mɛma woayɛ aman bebree, na ahene befi wo mu aba. ⁷Mede mʼapam bɛsi hɔ wɔ me ne wo ne wʼasefo a wɔbɛba wʼakyi no ntam, awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu—apam a ɛtena hɔ daa—sɛ mɛyɛ wo ne wʼasefo a wɔbɛba wʼakyi no Agya. ^b b v7 Apam kasasin no — “sɛ mɛyɛ wo ne wo mma Nyankopɔn” — yɛakyerɛ ase sɛ “sɛ mɛyɛ wʼAgya ne wo mma Agya,” efisɛ saa apam no na yɛn Agya rebɔ: ɛnyɛ nhyehyɛe bi, na mmom abusua. Ɔde ne ho kyekyere Abraham ne awo ntoatoaso biara a edi akyi no. ⁸Mede asase a wote so sɛ ɔhɔho no—Kanaan asase nyinaa—bɛma wo ne wʼasefo a wɔbɛba wʼakyi no sɛ wɔn agyapade daa; na mɛyɛ wɔn Agya.”

⁹Afei yɛn Agya ka kyerɛɛ Abraham se, “Wo de: di mʼapam so, wo ne wo mma a wɔbɛba wʼakyi no, wɔn awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu. ¹⁰Yei ne mʼapam a ɛsɛ sɛ modi so, wɔ me ne wo ne wʼasefo a wɔbɛba wʼakyi no ntam: ɛsɛ sɛ wotwa mo mu ɔbarima biara twetia. ¹¹Montwa mo twetia ho honam; ɛbɛyɛ apam a ɛda me ne wo ntam no ho agyiraehyɛde. ¹²Ɛsɛ sɛ wotwa mo mu ɔbarima biara twetia bere a wadi nna awɔtwe, awo ntoatoaso biara mu—sɛ wɔwoo no wo fi mu anaa wode dwetɛ tɔɔ no fii ɔhɔho bi a ɔnyɛ wʼase nkyɛn o. ¹³Ɛsɛ sɛ wotwa obiara a wɔwoo no wo fi mu anaa wode wo sika tɔɔ no no twetia. Mʼapam no bɛwɔ mo honam mu, sɛ apam a ɛtena hɔ daa. ¹⁴Ɔbarima momonotofo biara a wɔntwaa ne twetia ho honam no, wobetwa no afi ne nkurɔfo mu—wabu mʼapam so.”

Sara Din Foforo

¹⁵Afei yɛn Agya ka kyerɛɛ Abraham se, “Mfrɛ wo yere sɛ Sarai bio—ne din ne Sara. ¹⁶Mɛhyira no, na ampa ara mɛma woanya ɔbabarima afi ne mu. Mɛhyira no—ɔbɛyɛ aman; nnipa ahene befi ne mu aba.”

¹⁷Abraham de nʼanim butuw fam, sere, na ɔka kyerɛɛ ne ho se, “Wobetumi awo ɔbabarima ama ɔbarima a wadi mfe ɔha? Sara a wadi mfe aduɔkron bɛtumi awo?” ¹⁸Afei Abraham ka kyerɛɛ yɛn Agya se, “Anka me pɛ sɛ Ismael tena ase wɔ wʼanim!”

¹⁹Nanso yɛn Agya kae se, “Dabi, wo yere Sara bɛwo ɔbabarima ama wo, na wobɛto no din Isak. Mɛhyɛ mʼapam no mu den ne no, sɛ apam a ɛtena hɔ daa ama nʼasefo a wɔbɛba nʼakyi no. ^c c v19 Isak din no kyerɛ “ɔsere” — nkaebɔ a ɛyɛ dɛ a ɛkae Sara serew a ɛfii ne ho dwiriw mu bere a wɔde bɔhyɛ no mae no. ²⁰Ismael de, mate wo. Mɛhyira no, mama ne mma adɔɔso, na mama wadɔɔso abu so. Ɔbɛwo ntuanofo dumien, na mɛma wayɛ ɔman kɛse. ²¹Nanso mɛhyɛ mʼapam no mu den ne Isak a Sara bɛwo no ama wo saa bere yi afe a ɛreba no.”

²²Bere a ɔne Abraham kasa wiee no, yɛn Agya foro fii ne nkyɛn kɔe. ²³Afei Abraham faa ne ba Ismael, ne fi mu nnipa a wɔwoo wɔn hɔ nyinaa, ne wɔn a ɔde ne sika tɔɔ wɔn nyinaa—Abraham fi mu ɔbarima biara—na otwaa wɔn twetia ho honam da no ara, sɛnea yɛn Agya ka kyerɛɛ no no. ²⁴Abraham dii mfe aduɔkron nkron bere a wɔtwaa ne twetia ho honam no. ^d d v24 Twetiatwa yɛ honam mu agyiraehyɛde a ɛkyerɛ sɛ obi ka yɛn Agya apam nkurɔfo no ho. ²⁵Ne ba Ismael dii mfe dumiɛnsa bere a wɔtwaa ne twetia ho honam no. ²⁶Da no ara, wɔtwaa Abraham ne ne ba Ismael twetia. ²⁷Ne fi mu mmarima nyinaa—wɔn a wɔwoo wɔn fi hɔ ne wɔn a wɔde dwetɛ tɔɔ wɔn fii ɔhɔho nkyɛn—na wɔtwaa wɔn twetia ka ne ho.
