Genesis

24 Afei, na Abraham mfeɛ akɔ animu na wabɔ akɔkoraa, na na Yehowa ahyira Abraham wɔ biribiara mu.+ 2 Abraham ka kyerɛɛ n’akoa panin a ɔhwɛ ne fie nneɛma nyinaa so+ no sɛ: “Mesrɛ wo, fa wo nsa hyɛ me srɛ ase.* 3 Mepɛ sɛ woka Yehowa, ɔsoro ne asaase Nyankopɔn no ntam sɛ Kaananfoɔ a mete wɔn asaase so yi, worenware wɔn babaa biara mma me ba.+ 4 Mmom kɔ me kurom ne m’abusuafoɔ+ nkyɛn kɔware ɔbaa ma me ba Isak.”

5 Ɛnna akoa no bisaa no sɛ: “Na sɛ ɔbaa no mpɛ sɛ ɔne me ba kurom ha nso ɛ? Mɛtumi de wo ba no akɔ asaase a wofiri so baeɛ no so?”+ 6 Na Abraham ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Hwɛ na woamfa me ba no ankɔ hɔ.+ 7 Yehowa, ɔsoro Nyankopɔn a ɔfaa me firii me papa fie ne m’abusuafoɔ asaase so+ no, ɔno na ɔkaa me ntam+ sɛ: ‘W’asefoɔ*+ na mede asaase yi bɛma wɔn.’+ Ɔbɛma ne bɔfoɔ adi w’anim,+ na menim paa sɛ wobɛnya ɔbaa afiri hɔ abrɛ me ba no.+ 8 Na sɛ ɔbaa no mpɛ sɛ ɔne wo ba a, ɛnneɛ na woade wo ho afiri ntam a woaka me yi ho. Mmom hwɛ na woamfa me ba no ankɔ hɔ.” 9 Ɛnna akoa no de ne nsa hyɛɛ ne wura Abraham srɛ ase, na ɔkaa ntam sɛ ɔbɛyɛ deɛ waka no.+

10 Enti akoa no faa ne wura yoma du ne nneɛma pa a ne wura wɔ no pii. Na ɔde n’ani kyerɛɛ Mesopotamia sɛ ɔrekɔ Nahor kurom. 11 Ɔmaa yoma no butubutuu abura bi ho wɔ kuro no akyi. Saa berɛ no, na ɛyɛ anwummerɛ a mmaa taa kɔ nsuo. 12 Na ɔkaa sɛ: “Yehowa, me wura Abraham Nyankopɔn, mesrɛ wo ma ɛnsi me yie nnɛ; da ɔdɔ a ɛnni hwammɔ adi kyerɛ me wura Abraham. 13 Kuro no mu mmabaawa rebɛsa nsuo; meregyina abura yi ho, 14 na ma ɛmmra sɛ ababaawa a mɛka akyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Mesrɛ wo soɛ w’ahina na ma me nsuo no bi nnom’ na ɔbɛka sɛ, ‘Nom bi, na mɛma wo yoma no nso bi anom’ no, ma ɔnyɛ ɔbaa a woayi no ama w’akoa Isak; ɛno na ɛbɛma mahunu sɛ woada ɔdɔ a ɛnni hwammɔ adi akyerɛ me wura.”

15 N’ano ansi mpo na ɔhuu sɛ Betuel ba Rebeka+ reba a ahina si ne kɔn ho. Ná Betuel yɛ Abraham nua Nahor+ yere Milka+ ba. 16 Ná ababaawa no ho yɛ fɛ yie; ɔyɛ ɔbaabunu a ɔbarima biara ne no nnaa da. Ɔkɔɔ abura no ho kɔsaa nsuo guu n’ahina mu baeɛ. 17 Ɛhɔ ara na akoa no kɔhyiaa no kaa sɛ: “Mesrɛ wo, ma me w’ahina no mu nsuo kakra nnom.” 18 Na ɔno nso kaa sɛ: “Me wura, nom bi.” Ɛhɔ ara na ɔsoɛɛ ahina no sii ne nsam maa no bi nomeeɛ. 19 Ɔmaa no bi nom wieeɛ no, ɔkaa sɛ: “Mɛsa bi ama wo yoma no nso akɔsi sɛ wɔbɛnom amee.” 20 Na ntɛm ara ɔhwiee nsuo a ɛwɔ n’ahina no mu guu baabi a mmoa nom nsuo no, na ɔde mmirika dii akɔneaba wɔ abura no ho kɔsaa nsuo brɛɛ ne yoma no nyinaa. 21 Saa berɛ yi nyinaa na ɔbarima no ayɛ dinn rehwɛ no. Ne ho dwirii no, na na ɔredwene ho sɛ ebia Yehowa ama n’akwantuo no asi no yie anaa.

22 Berɛ a yoma no nyinaa nom nsuo no bi wieeɛ no, ɔbarima no yii sika kɔkɔɔ hwenem kawa a emu duro yɛ dwetɛbena* fã ne sika kɔkɔɔ nkapo mmienu a emu duro yɛ nnwetɛbena* du, na ɔde maa no, 23 na ɔbisaa no sɛ: “Mesrɛ wo, hwan ba ne wo? Anadwo yi, yɛbɛnya baabi ada wɔ wo papa fie?” 24 Ɛnna ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Me papa ne Betuel+ a Nahor+ ne Milka woo no no.” 25 Na ɔtoaa so sɛ: “Yɛwɔ serɛ ne mmoa aduane pii, na mobɛnya baabi nso ada.” 26 Afei ɔbarima no bɔɔ ne mu ase kotoo Yehowa anim, 27 na ɔkaa sɛ: “Ayeyie nka Yehowa, me wura Abraham Nyankopɔn, ɛfiri sɛ wakɔ so ada ɔdɔ a ɛnni hwammɔ adi akyerɛ me wura, na wadi no nokorɛ. Yehowa akyerɛ me kwan aba me wura nuanom fie.”

28 Afei ababaawa no de mmirika kɔbɔɔ ne maame fiefoɔ amanneɛ. 29 Ná Rebeka wɔ nuabarima bi a ne din de Laban.+ Enti Laban tuu mmirika kɔɔ ɔbarima no nkyɛn wɔ abura no ho. 30 Berɛ a ɔhuu hwenem kawa no ne nkapo a ɛgu ne nua Rebeka nsa na ɔtee asɛm a ɔkaa sɛ: “Sɛɛ ne sɛɛ na ɔbarima no ka kyerɛɛ me” no, ɔkɔɔ ɔbarima no nkyɛn, na na ɔda so ara gyina yoma no ho wɔ abura no ho. 31 Ntɛm ara na ɔkaa sɛ: “Bra, wo a Yehowa ahyira wo. Woda so gyina ha reyɛ dɛn? Masiesie baabi ama wo wɔ fie, na masiesie baabi nso ama yoma no.” 32 Ɛnna ɔbarima no kɔɔ fie hɔ, na ɔyiyii* yoma no so nneɛma, na ɔmaa wɔn serɛ ne mmoa aduane. Afei ɔmaa ɔbarima no ne wɔn a wɔka ne ho no nsuo de hohoroo wɔn nan ho. 33 Nanso berɛ a wɔde aduane bɛsii n’anim no, ɔkaa sɛ: “Merennidi, gye sɛ mabɔ m’amanneɛ awie.” Na Laban kaa sɛ: “Kasa!”

34 Ɛnna ɔkaa sɛ: “Meyɛ Abraham akoa.+ 35 Na Yehowa ahyira me wura yie, na wama wanya ne ho paa; wama no nnwan ne anantwie, dwetɛ ne sika kɔkɔɔ, nkoa ne mfenaa, yoma ne mfunumu.+ 36 Afei, me wura yere Sara bɔɔ aberewa no, ɔwoo babarima maa no,+ na me wura de deɛ ɔwɔ nyinaa bɛma ne ba no.+ 37 Enti me wura ma mekaa ntam, na ɔkaa sɛ: ‘Kaananfoɔ a mete wɔn asaase so yi, nware wɔn babaa biara mma me ba.+ 38 Na mmom kɔ me papa fie ne m’abusua mu+ kɔware ɔbaa ma me ba no.’+ 39 Na mebisaa me wura sɛ: ‘Na sɛ ɔbaa no mpɛ sɛ ɔne me ba nso ɛ?’+ 40 Ɛnna ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ: ‘Me ne Yehowa anante,+ na menim paa sɛ ɔbɛma ne bɔfoɔ+ aka wo ho na asi wo yie wɔ w’akwantuo mu; enti kɔware ɔbaa firi m’abusua mu ne me papa fie+ brɛ me ba no. 41 Sɛ wokɔ m’abusua mu na sɛ wɔamfa ɔbaa no amma wo a, ntam no ho asodie biara renna wo so. Wei bɛma woade wo ho afiri wo ntam yi ho.’+

42 “Berɛ a meduruu abura no ho nnɛ no, mekaa sɛ: ‘Yehowa, me wura Abraham Nyankopɔn, sɛ wobɛma m’akwantuo yi asi me yie a, 43 ɛnneɛ meregyina abura yi ho, na ma no mmra sɛ ababaawa+ a ɔbɛba abɛsa nsuo a mɛka akyerɛ no sɛ: “Mesrɛ wo, ma mennom w’ahina yi mu nsuo no bi” 44 na ɔbɛka akyerɛ me sɛ: “Nom bi, na mɛma wo yoma no nso bi anom” no, ma ɔnyɛ ɔbaa a Yehowa ayi no ama me wura ba no.’+

45 “Berɛ a megu so reka asɛm no wɔ m’akomam no, mehuu sɛ Rebeka reba a ahina si ne kɔn ho; na ɔkɔɔ abura no ho kɔsaa nsuo. Ɛnna meka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: ‘Mesrɛ wo, ma me nsuo no bi nnom.’+ 46 Ɛhɔ ara na ɔsoɛɛ n’ahina no kaa sɛ: ‘Nom bi,+ na mɛma wo yoma no nso bi anom.’ Enti menomeeɛ, na ɔmaa yoma no nso bi nomeeɛ. 47 Ɛno akyi, mebisaa no sɛ, ‘Hwan ba ne wo?’ na ɔkaa sɛ ‘Me papa ne Betuel a Nahor ne Milka woo no no.’ Enti mede hwenem kawa no hyɛɛ ne hwenem na mede nkapo no guu ne nsa.+ 48 Na mekotoo Yehowa anim, na meyii me wura Abraham Nyankopɔn Yehowa ayɛ;+ ɔno na ɔkyerɛɛ me kwan sɛ memmɛfa me wura nua babaa mma ne ba no. 49 Na afei sɛ mobɛda ɔdɔ a ɛnni hwammɔ adi akyerɛ me wura na moadi no nokorɛ a, monka nkyerɛ me; sɛ ɛnte saa nso a, monka nkyerɛ me, na sɛ nifa na mɛfa oo, benkum na mɛfa oo, mahunu deɛ mɛyɛ.”+

50 Ɛnna Laban ne Betuel ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Asɛm yi firi Yehowa. Yɛn deɛ, yɛrentumi nka aane anaa daabi nkyerɛ wo.* 51 Rebeka na ɔgyina w’anim no. Fa no kɔ na ɔnyɛ wo wura ba no yere sɛdeɛ Yehowa aka no.” 52 Berɛ a Abraham akoa no tee wɔn nsɛm no ara pɛ na ɔbutuu fam wɔ Yehowa anim. 53 Na akoa no yii dwetɛ agudeɛ ne sika kɔkɔɔ agudeɛ ne ntaadeɛ, na ɔde maa Rebeka, na ɔmaa ne nuabarima ne ne maame nneɛma a ɛsom bo. 54 Afei ɔne mmarima a wɔka ne ho no didiiɛ na wɔnomeeɛ, na wɔdaa hɔ anadwo no.

Berɛ a ɔsɔree anɔpa no, ɔkaa sɛ: “Monnya me kwan na menkɔ me wura nkyɛn.” 55 Ɛnna ababaawa no nuabarima ne ne maame kaa sɛ: “Ma ababaawa no ntena yɛn nkyɛn dadu bi ɛ. Ɛno akyi no ɔbɛtumi akɔ.” 56 Nanso ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ: “Monnnye me nntena ha, ɛfiri sɛ Yehowa ama no asi me yie wɔ m’akwantuo mu. Monnya me kwan na menkɔ me wura nkyɛn.” 57 Ɛnna wɔkaa sɛ: “Momma yɛmfrɛ ababaawa no na yɛntie deɛ ɔbɛka.” 58 Afei wɔfrɛɛ Rebeka bisaa no sɛ: “Wo ne ɔbarima yi bɛkɔ?” Na ɔbuaa sɛ: “Mɛkɔ dodo.”

59 Enti wɔgyaa wɔn nuabaa Rebeka kwan,+ ɔne ɔbaa a na ɔhwɛ no no,*+ ne Abraham akoa no ne ne mmarima no. 60 Na wɔhyiraa Rebeka ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “O yɛn nuabaa, mpempem huhaa mfiri wo mu mmra, na w’asefoɔ* mfa wɔn atamfo nkuro apono.”*+ 61 Afei Rebeka ne ne mmaawa sɔre tenatenaa yoma so dii ɔbarima no akyi. Enti akoa no ne Rebeka sii kwan so kɔeɛ.

62 Saa berɛ no, na Isak te Negeb+ asaase so. Enti na ɔfiri Beer-Lahai-Roi+ kwan so reba. 63 Na ɛrekɔ anwummerɛ no, ɔkɔɔ wuram baabi kɔdwendweneeɛ.+ Afei ɔnkɔhwɛ a, yoma na ɛsa so reba yi! 64 Berɛ a Rebeka maa n’ani so a ɔhuu Isak no, ɛhɔ ara na ɔhuri firii yoma no so sii fam. 65 Afei ɔbisaa akoa no sɛ: “Ɔbarima bɛn na ɔfiri wuram rebɛhyia yɛn yi?” Na akoa no buaa sɛ: “Ɛyɛ me wura.” Ɛnna ɔyii ntoma de kataa n’anim. 66 Na akoa no kaa deɛ ɔyɛeɛ nyinaa kyerɛɛ Isak. 67 Afei Isak de Rebeka baa ne maame Sara ntomadan+ mu. Enti ɔbɛyɛɛ ne yere. Isak bɛnyaa ɔdɔ maa no,+ na ɛmaa ne werɛ kyekyee wɔ ne maame wuo akyi.+
