Mose Nwoma A Ɛdi Ɛkan (Gyenesis) 18

Awia ketee bi a Abraham te ne ntomadan a ɛwɔ Mamrɛ odum kwaeɛ ɛkwan ano no, Awurade yii ne ho adi bio kyerɛɛ no.

Abraham maa nʼani so no, ɔhunuu sɛ mmarima baasa bi apue ne ntentenesoɔ. Ɔhunuu wɔn no, ɔtuu mmirika firii ne ntomadan no kwan ano kɔhyiaa wɔn, kotoo wɔn.

Abraham kaa sɛ, “Me wura, sɛ manya adom wɔ wʼanim a, ntwa me a meyɛ wʼakoa ho nkɔ.

Momma wɔmfa nsuo bi mmrɛ mo nhohoro mo nan ase, na monhome wɔ nnua yi ase kakra.

Moaba mo akoa nkyɛn yi, momma mempɛ aduane kakra bi mma monka mo ano, na monnya ahoɔden nkɔ mo kwan.” Nnipa no penee so kaa sɛ,“Ɛyɛ, yɛ deɛ wopɛ sɛ woyɛ.”

Enti, Abraham de ahoɔherɛ kɔɔ ne yere Sara nkyɛn wɔ ntomadan no mu, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ka wo ho fa asikyiresiam pa susukora mmiɛnsa, na fɔtɔ na fa to burodo.”

Afei, Abraham yɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ nʼanantwibuo no mu, kɔkyeree nantwie ba a ɔyɛ na wadɔre sradeɛ de no maa ne ɔsomfoɔ, ma ɔde ahoɔherɛ yɛɛ ne ho adwuma.

Afei, ɔfaa nufosuo ani sradeɛ ne nufosuo ne nantwie ba a ɔde anoa aduane no, de too nnipa baasa no ɛpono. Ɛberɛ a nnipa no gu so redidie no, na ɔgyina wɔn nkyɛn wɔ nnua no ase.

Nnipa no bisaa Abraham sɛ, “Wo yere Sara wɔ he?”Abraham buaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɔwɔ ntomadan no mu.”

Afei, Awurade kaa sɛ, “Deɛ ɛbɛyɛ biara, afe sɛsɛɛ mɛba wo nkyɛn, na mɛba no, na wo yere Sara awo ɔbabarima.”Saa ɛberɛ no, na Sara gyina ntomadan no ɛpono akyiri, retie nkɔmmɔ no.

Na Abraham ne Sara nyinaa anyinyini yie a wɔn mfeɛ akɔ animu koraa enti, na Sara awoɔ apa ho.

Sara tee asɛm no, ɔseree ne tirim, kaa sɛ, “Manya awie aberewabɔ, na me kunu nso abɔ akɔkoraa yi, ɛbɛyɛ sɛn na manya saa anigyedeɛ yi?”

Enti, Awurade bisaa Abraham sɛ, “Adɛn enti na Sara sere bisaa sɛ, ‘Ampa ara sɛ manyini aduru seyie yi, mɛtumi awo ba?’

Biribi boro Awurade ahoɔden so sɛ ɔbɛyɛ? Afe sɛsɛɛ a mɛsane aba sɛdeɛ mahyɛ wo ho bɔ no, na wo yere Sara awo ɔbabarima.”

Na Sara suro enti, ɔtwaa atorɔ sɛ, “Mansere.”Nanso, Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ nokorɛ turodoo sɛ wosereeɛ.”

Mmarima no kraa sɛ wɔrekɔ no, wɔde wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Sodom. Abraham kɔgyaa wɔn kwan.

Afei, Awurade kaa sɛ, “Adeɛ a mabɔ me tirim sɛ mɛyɛ no, memfa nsie Abraham anaa?

Ɛyɛ nokorɛ turodoo sɛ Abraham bɛyɛ ɔman kɛseɛ a ɛwɔ tumi. Na ɛnam Abraham so na wɔbɛhyira amanaman a ɛwɔ asase so nyinaa.

Ɛfiri sɛ, mapa Abraham sɛ ɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ ne mma ne ne fiefoɔ Awurade kwan. Na wɔayɛ ade pa ne ade tenenee a ɛsɔ Awurade ani. Sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Awurade bɔ a ɔhyɛɛ Abraham no bɛba mu.”

Afei, Awurade kaa sɛ, “Mate nnebɔne a ɛyɛ duru a ɛrekɔ so wɔ Sodom ne Gomora no.

Mɛkɔ hɔ makɔhwɛ sɛ, deɛ wɔyɛ no yɛ bɔne a ɛyɛ duru, sɛdeɛ mate no anaa. Sɛ ɛnte saa nso a, mɛhunu.”

Na mmarima baasa no mu baanu danee wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Sodom. Nanso, Abraham deɛ, na ɔda so gyina Awurade anim.

Afei, Abraham twe bɛn Onyankopɔn bisaa no sɛ, “Wobɛsɛe nnipa tenenee ne nnipa bɔnefoɔ nyinaa afra anaa?

Na sɛ nnipa tenenee aduonum wɔ kuro no mu a wobɛsɛe kuro no a worenhwɛ saa nnipa tenenee aduonum no ho nnyae kuro no sɛeɛ?

Ɛmpare wo sɛ wobɛyɛ saa, sɛ wobɛkum nnipa tenenee ne nnipa bɔnefoɔ afra, de asotwe korɔ no ara bɛma nnipa tenenee ne nnipa bɔnefoɔ. Ɛmpare wo! Deɛ ɔbu asase nyinaa atɛn no remmu atɛntenenee anaa?”

Na Awurade kaa sɛ, “Sɛ mehunu nnipa tenenee aduonum wɔ Sodom kuro no mu a, wɔn enti, merensɛe kuro no.”

Na Abraham bisaa sɛ, “Afei, me a meyɛ nsõ ne dɔteɛ a mensɛ hwee, nanso masi me bo ne Awurade akasa yi,

sɛ ɛba sɛ nnipa tenenee no dodoɔ yɛ aduanan enum nso ɛ? Esiane saa nnipa enum a wɔafiri nnipa tenenee aduonum no so ama aka nnipa tenenee aduanan enum no enti, wobɛsɛe kuro mu no nyinaa anaa?”Onyankopɔn buaa sɛ, “Sɛ mehunu nnipa tenenee aduanan enum wɔ kuro no mu a, merensɛe no.”

Abraham toaa nʼadebisa no so sɛ, “Sɛ ɛba sɛ, nnipa tenenee aduanan pɛ na wɔwɔ kuro no mu ɛ?”Na Awurade buaa Abraham sɛ, “Nnipa tenenee aduanan no enti, merensɛe kuro no.”

Abraham kɔɔ so srɛɛ bio sɛ, “Mesrɛ wo, Awurade, mma wo bo mfu me, ma menkasa. Sɛ ɛba sɛ nnipa tenenee aduasa na wɔwɔ kuro no mu nso ɛ?”Awurade buaa sɛ, “Sɛ mehunu nnipa tenenee aduasa a, merensɛe kuro no.”

Afei, Abraham bisaa sɛ, “Masi me bo ne Awurade akasa yi, ɛba sɛ nnipa tenenee aduonu pɛ na wɔwɔ kuro no mu ɛ?”Onyankopɔn buaa sɛ, “Saa nnipa tenenee aduonu no enti, merensɛe kuro no.”

Abraham kɔɔ so bisaa sɛ, “Ao, Awurade, mma wo bo mfu me; ma memmisa mʼasɛm baako pɛ a ɛtwa toɔ. Sɛ ɛba sɛ, nnipa tenenee edu na wɔwɔ kuro no mu nso ɛ?” Awurade buaa sɛ, “Saa nnipa tenenee edu no enti, merensɛe kuro no.”

Ɛberɛ a Awurade ne Abraham kasa wieeɛ no, ɔgyaa Abraham hɔ kɔeɛ. Abraham nso sane kɔɔ nʼatenaeɛm.
