Genesis 28:1-22
28 Enti Isak frɛɛ Yakob, na ohyiraa no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Hwɛ na woanware Kaananni bea.+
2 Sɔre kɔ Padan-Aram, wo maame papa Betuel fi, na ware+ wo wɔfa Laban mma mmea no mu baako.
3 Ade nyinaa so Tumfo Nyankopɔn behyira wo ama w’ase atrɛw ayɛ bebree, na wobɛyɛ mmusuakuw a wɔdɔɔso.+
4 Na ɔde Abraham nhyira+ bɛma wo ne w’asefo* a wɔka wo ho, na wobɛfa asaase a woabɛsoɛ so a Onyankopɔn de ama Abraham no.”+
5 Enti Isak gyaa Yakob kwan na osiim sɛ ɔrekɔ Aramni Betuel ba Laban nkyɛn wɔ Padan-Aram.+ Ná Laban yɛ Yakob ne Esau maame Rebeka nuabarima.+
6 Esau hui sɛ Isak ahyira Yakob, na wagya no kwan kɔ Padan-Aram sɛ ɔnkɔware wɔ hɔ, na bere a ohyiraa no no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Nware Kaananni bea biara.”+
7 Afei nso, ohui sɛ Yakob atie ne papa ne ne maame, na wasi kwan so rekɔ Padan-Aram.+
8 Esau behui sɛ ne papa Isak ani nnye Kaananfo mmea ho,+
9 enti Esau kɔɔ Abraham ba Ismael nkyɛn kɔwaree ne babea Mahalat kaa ne yerenom ho. Ná ɔyɛ Nebaiot nuabea.+
10 Yakob fii Beer-Seba de n’ani kyerɛɛ Haran.+
11 Afei okoduu beae bi, na ɔyɛɛ n’adwene sɛ ɔbɛda hɔ efisɛ na onwini adwo. Enti ɔfaa ɔbo bi de yɛɛ sumii, na ɔdaa hɔ.+
12 Ɔsoo dae, na ohui sɛ stɛps* bi wɔ asaase so na n’atifi kɔpem soro, na Onyankopɔn abɔfo redi aforosian wɔ so.+
13 Hwɛ! Ná Yehowa wɔ stɛps no atifi, na ɔkae sɛ:
“Mene Yehowa, w’agya Abraham Nyankopɔn ne Isak Nyankopɔn.+ Mede asaase a woda so yi bɛma wo ne w’asefo.*+
14 W’asefo* bɛyɛ sɛ asaase so anwea na w’ase bɛtrɛw akɔ baabiara,+ atɔe ne apuei, atifi ne anaafo; na asaase so mmusua nyinaa nam wo ne w’asefo* so benya nhyira.+
15 Medi w’akyi, na baabiara a wobɛkɔ no, mɛhwɛ wo so, na mɛsan de wo aba asaase yi so,+ na merennyaw wo kosi sɛ mɛyɛ nea mahyɛ wo bɔ no.”+
16 Afei Yakob nyanee, na ɔkae sɛ: “Ampa ara Yehowa wɔ ha, nanso na minnim.”
17 Ehu kaa no, na ɔkae sɛ: “Ɛha yɛ hu papaapa! Ɛha nyɛ baabiara sɛ Onyankopɔn fi,+ na ɔsoro pon ano ni.”+
18 Enti Yakob sɔree anɔpatutuutu na ɔbo a ɔde yɛɛ sumii no, ɔde sii hɔ yɛɛ edum, na ohwiee ngo guu so.+
19 Enti ɔtoo hɔ din Betel;* nanso kan no, na wɔfrɛ hɔ Lus.+
20 Afei Yakob kaa ntam sɛ: “Sɛ Onyankopɔn di m’akyi hwɛ me so wɔ m’akwantu yi mu, na ɔma me aduan* di ma me ataade hyɛ,
21 na mesan kɔ me papa fi asomdwoe mu a, ɛnde na Yehowa akyerɛ sɛ ɔyɛ me Nyankopɔn ampa.
22 Na ɔbo a mede ayɛ edum yi bɛyɛ Onyankopɔn fi,+ na biribiara a wode bɛma me no, mɛhwɛ akyɛ mu du ama wo baako.”
