Genesis 18:1-33
18 Akyiri yi, Yehowa yii ne ho adi+ kyerɛɛ no wɔ Mamre nnua akɛse no mu,+ awia ketee a wim ayɛ hyew+ na ɔte ne ntamadan ano no.
2 Ɔmaa n’ani so no,+ ohuu mmarima baasa a wogyinagyina akyirikyiri. N’ani bɔɔ wɔn so no otuu mmirika fii ntamadan no ano kohyiaa wɔn, na ɔbɔɔ ne mu ase.+
3 Ɛnna ɔkae sɛ: “Yehowa, sɛ manya w’anim dom a, mesrɛ wo, ntwa w’akoa ho nkɔ.+
4 Mesrɛ mo, momma wɔmfa nsu kakra mmra mmɛhohoro mo nan ho,+ na monhome dua yi ase.+
5 Na momma mempɛ paanoo sin bi mma mo na momfa nnwudwo mo koma.+ Muwie a afei mubetumi akɔ, efisɛ ɛno nti na mobɛfaa mo akoa ha yi.” Ɛnna wɔkae sɛ: “Yɛate. Yɛ sɛnea woaka no.”
6 Abraham yɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ Sara nkyɛn ntamadan no mu, na ɔkae sɛ: “Yɛ ntɛm! Fa esiam susukora abiɛsa* na fɔtɔw fa yɛ paanoo.”+
7 Ɛno akyi no, Abraham tuu mmirika kɔɔ ne mmoa mu kɔkyeree nantwi ba a ne ho yɛ mmerɛw na oye de no maa n’akoa, na ɔyɛɛ ntɛm siesiei.+
8 Afei ɔde bɔta ne nufusu ne nantwi ba a wasiesie no besii wɔn anim.+ Na wɔredidi no nyinaa na ogyina wɔn nkyɛn wɔ dua no ase.+
9 Afei wobisaa no sɛ: “Wo yere Sara wɔ he?”+ Na obuae sɛ: “Ɔwɔ ntamadan mu hɔ!”+
10 Enti ɔtoaa so sɛ: “Mɛsan aba wo nkyɛn saa bere yi afe sesɛɛ, na ebedu hɔ no na wo yere Sara anya ɔbabarima.”+ Na ɔrekasa nyinaa na Sara wɔ ntamadan no ano wɔ ɔbarima no akyi retie.
11 Ná Abraham ne Sara nyinaa anyinyin na wɔn mfe akɔ anim.+ Ná Sara atwa bra.+
12 Enti Sara fii ase serewee ne mu+ sɛ: “Mprempren a mabɔ aberewa na me wura nso abɔ akwakoraa yi, anigye bɛn na menya?”+
13 Ɛnna Yehowa bisaa Abraham sɛ: “Dɛn nti na Sara serew kae sɛ, ‘mabɔ aberewa yi ɛbɛyɛ dɛn koraa na matumi awo ɔba?’+
14 So biribi yɛ den ma Yehowa?+ Mɛsan aba wo nkyɛn saa bere yi afe sesɛɛ, na ebedu hɔ no na Sara anya ɔbabarima.”
15 Na Sara kae sɛ: “Manserew,” efisɛ na osuro. Ɛnna ɔkae sɛ: “Dabi, woserewee.”+
16 Akyiri yi mmarima no sɔre fii hɔ de wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Sodom,+ na Abraham ne wɔn nantewee de gyaa wɔn kwan.+
17 Yehowa kae sɛ: “Mede biribi a mɛyɛ behintaw Abraham anaa?+
18 Hwɛ, ɔkwan biara so Abraham bɛyɛ ɔman kɛse a ɛyɛ den, na ne nti asase so aman nyinaa benya nhyira.+
19 Me ne no abɔ sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛma ne mma ne ne fiefo a wɔbɛba akyiri yi anantew Yehowa akwan so ayɛ nea ɛteɛ na wabu atɛntrenee,+ na ama Yehowa ayɛ nea waka afa Abraham ho nyinaa ama no.”+
20 Enti Yehowa kae sɛ: “Osu ne nteɛteɛm a Sodom ne Gomora ama aba+ no ano yɛ den, na wɔn bɔne nso mu yɛ duru+ ankasa.
21 Mɛkɔ akɔhwɛ sɛ osu ne nteɛteɛm a mate no te saa ampa, na sɛ ɛnte saa a mehu.”+
22 Saa bere yi, mmarima no dan wɔn ho de wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Sodom; nanso Yehowa+ de, na ɔda so gyina Abraham anim.+
23 Ɛnna Abraham bisae sɛ: “O enti wobɛpra atreneefo aka abɔnefo ho?+
24 Fa no sɛ atreneefo aduonum te kurow no mu, enti wobɛpra wɔn agu? Atreneefo aduonum a wɔwɔ mu yi remma wunhu kurow no mmɔbɔ?+
25 Worentumi nni asɛm a ɛte saa, sɛ wubekum ɔtreneeni aka ɔbɔnefo ho ama awie ɔtreneeni sɛ ɔbɔnefo!+ Worentumi nyɛ saa da.+ So asase nyinaa temmufo no renyɛ nea ɛteɛ anaa?”+
26 Afei Yehowa kae sɛ: “Sɛ mihu atreneefo aduonum wɔ Sodom kurow no mu a, wɔn nti mehu kurow no mmɔbɔ.”+
27 Nanso Abraham kae sɛ: “Mesrɛ wo, minim sɛ meyɛ dɔte ne nsõ,+ nanso mayɛ sɛ me ne Yehowa bɛkasa.
28 Fa no sɛ aka nnipa baanum ansa na adu atreneefo aduonum. Nnipa baanum a aka no nti wobɛsɛe kurow no nyinaa?” Ɛnna ɔkae sɛ: “Sɛ mihu nnipa aduanan anum wɔ hɔ a merensɛe no.”+
29 Na Abraham san ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Fa no sɛ aduanan na wɔwɔ hɔ.” Ɛnna ɔkae sɛ: “Aduanan no nti merensɛe no.”
30 Ɔtoaa so sɛ: “Mesrɛ sɛ mma Yehowa bo mmfuw+ me na menkasa:+ Fa no sɛ nnipa aduasa na wɔwɔ hɔ.” Ɛnna ɔkae sɛ: “Sɛ mihu aduasa wɔ hɔ a merensɛe no.”
31 Nanso ɔtoaa so sɛ: “Mesrɛ meka oo, mepɛ sɛ me ne Yehowa kɔ so kasa:+ Fa no sɛ nnipa aduonu na wɔwɔ hɔ.” Ɛnna ɔkae sɛ: “Aduonu no nti merensɛe no.”+
32 Afei ɔkae sɛ: “Mesrɛ sɛ mma Yehowa bo mmfuw+ me, na ma menka nea etwa to yi:+ Fa no sɛ nnipa du na wɔwɔ hɔ.” Ɛnna ɔkae sɛ: “Edu no nti merensɛe no.”+
33 Na Yehowa+ ne Abraham wiee kasa no ɔkɔe, na Abraham nso san baa ne fie.
