Ɛhɔ na Abram bɔɔ Yehowa din frɛɛ no no.

5 Lot a na ɔka Abram ho wɔ n’akwantuo mu no nso nyaa nnwan, anantwie, ne ntomadan. 6 Enti na asaase no sua ma wɔn sɛ wɔn nyinaa bɛtena faako, ɛfiri sɛ na wɔn agyapadeɛ adɔɔso ara ama wɔakyere so wɔ asaase no so. 7 Ɛno maa akasakasa baa wɔn a wɔhwɛ Abram nyɛmmoa ne wɔn a wɔhwɛ Lot nyɛmmoa no ntam. (Saa berɛ no, Kaananfoɔ ne Perisifoɔ na na wɔte asaase no so.)+ 8 Ɛnna Abram ka kyerɛɛ Lot+ sɛ: “Mesrɛ wo, ɛnsɛ sɛ akasakasa biara ba me ne wo ntam ne wɔn a wɔhwɛ me mmoa ne wɔn a wɔhwɛ wo mmoa no ntam, ɛfiri sɛ yɛyɛ anuanom. 9 Ɛnyɛ asaase no nyinaa na ɛda w’anim yi? Mesrɛ wo, te wo ho firi me ho. Wofa benkum a, mɛfa nifa; na sɛ wofa nifa a, mɛfa benkum.” 10 Enti Lot maa n’ani so hwɛeɛ, na ɔhunuu sɛ ɛfiri Yordan mantam no+ nyinaa kɔsi Soar+ no, nsuo wɔ asaase no so te sɛ Yehowa turo+ ne Egypt asaase (ansa na Yehowa resɛe Sodom ne Gomora). 11 Ɛnna Lot faa Yordan mantam no nyinaa, na ɔtu kɔtenaa apueeɛ fam.

14 Akyire yi a Lot tee ne ho firii Abram ho no, Yehowa ka kyerɛɛ Abram sɛ: “Mesrɛ wo, gyina baabi a wowɔ no na ma w’ani so hwɛ atifi ne anaafoɔ, apueeɛ ne atɔeɛ, 15 ɛfiri sɛ asaase a w’ani tua yi nyinaa mede bɛma wo ne w’asefoɔ*+ afebɔɔ. 16 Na mɛma w’asefoɔ* ayɛ sɛ asaase so anwea ma enti sɛ obi bɛtumi akan asaase so anwea a, ɛnneɛ ɔbɛtumi akan w’asefoɔ* nso.+ 17 Sɔre kɔfa asaase no nyinaa so, na hwɛ ne tenten ne ne tɛtrɛtɛ, ɛfiri sɛ wo ara na mede bɛma wo.” 18 Enti Abram kɔɔ so tenaa ntomadan mu. Akyire yi, ɔkɔtenaa baabi a ɛbɛn Mamre+ nnua akɛseɛ a ɛwɔ Hebron+ no, na ɔsii afɔrebukyia wɔ hɔ maa Yehowa.+
