24 ¹Abraham abɔ akwakoraa a wanyin yiye, na yɛn Agya ahyira Abraham wɔ biribiara mu. ²Abraham ka kyerɛɛ ne somfo panin a ɔhwɛ nneɛma a ɔwɔ nyinaa so no se, “Mesrɛ wo, fa wo nsa hyɛ me srɛ ase, ^a a v2 Nsa a wɔde hyɛ srɛ ase no yɛ tete nsɛnkyerɛnne a wɔde si ntam kɛse a ɛkyekyere obi so. ³na mɛma woaka ntam wɔ ɔsoro ne asase Agya din mu sɛ, worenfa Kanaanfo a mete wɔn mu yi mmabea mu baako mma me ba aware, ⁴na mmom wobɛkɔ me man mu, mʼabusuafo nkyɛn, akɔfa yere ama me ba Isak.”

⁵Somfo no bisaa no se, “Sɛ ɔbaa no mpɛ sɛ odi mʼakyi ba asase yi so a, ɛsɛ sɛ mede wo ba no san kɔ asase a wufii so no so anaa?”

⁶Abraham ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Hwɛ yiye na woamfa me ba no nsan nkɔ hɔ. ⁷Yɛn Agya, ɔsoro Agya a oyii me fii mʼagya fi ne mʼabusuafo asase so, na ɔkasa kyerɛɛ me, na ɔka ntam kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Mede asase yi bɛma wʼasefo’ no—ɔno na ɔbɛsoma nʼabɔfo adi wʼanim, na wobɛfa yere afi hɔ ama me ba. ⁸Nanso sɛ ɔbaa no mpɛ sɛ odi wʼakyi a, wo ho bɛte afi me ntam yi ho; kɛkɛ, mfa me ba no nsan nkɔ hɔ.”

⁹Somfo no de ne nsa hyɛɛ ne wura Abraham srɛ ase, na ɔka ntam kyerɛɛ no wɔ asɛm yi ho. ¹⁰Somfo no faa ne wura yoma du, na ɔde ne wura nneɛma pa ahorow nyinaa kaa ne ho, na ɔsii mu kɔɔ Aram-Naharaim, Nahor kurow mu. ^b b v10 Aram-Naharaim kyerɛ “Aram a ɛwɔ nsubɔnten abien ntam” — ɛyɛ mantam bi wɔ Mesopotamia atifi fam, faako a Abraham abusuafo da so te. ¹¹Ɔmaa yoma no butuw wɔ kurow no akyi, abura no ho, anwummere, bere a mmea fi adi kɔsaw nsu. ¹²Afei ɔbɔɔ mpae se, “Me wura Abraham Agya, mesrɛ wo, ma me nkɔso nnɛ, na da wʼadɔe adi kyerɛ me wura Abraham. ¹³Megyina asuti yi ho ha, na kurow no mu mmarima mmabea refi adi abɛsaw nsu. ¹⁴Ma ababaa a mɛka akyerɛ no se, ‘Mesrɛ wo, brɛ wo ahina no ase na menom bi’ no, na ɔbɛbua se, ‘Nom, na mɛma wo yoma no nso nsu anom’ no, ɔno na ɔnyɛ nea woayi no ama wo somfo Isak. Saa na mɛhunu sɛ woada wʼadɔe adi akyerɛ me wura.”

¹⁵Ansa na ɔrewie kasa no, Rebeka—Betuel babea; Betuel yɛ Milka ba, na Milka yɛ Abraham nuabarima Nahor yere—de ne ahina si ne mmati so fii adi. ¹⁶Ababaa no ho yɛ fɛ yiye; ɔyɛ ɔbaabun a ɔbarima biara nnim no da. Osiane kɔɔ asuti no ho, sanee nsu hyɛɛ ne ahina mu ma, na ɔforo baa soro. ¹⁷Somfo no tuu mmirika kɔhyiaa no kae se, “Mesrɛ wo, ma me nsu kakra mfi wo ahina mu nnom.”

¹⁸Ɔkae se, “Me wura, nom,” na ɔyɛɛ ntɛm de ne ahina no sianee fii ne mmati so maa no nsu nomee. ¹⁹Bere a ɔma no nsu nomee wiee no, ɔkae se, “Mɛsaw nsu ama wo yoma no nso, kosi sɛ wɔbɛnom awie.” ²⁰Ɔyɛɛ ntɛm hwiee ne ahina mu nsu guu mmoa nsunom adaka no mu, san tuu mmirika kɔɔ abura no ho, na ɔsaw nsu maa ne yoma no nyinaa.

²¹Ɔbarima no hwɛɛ no dinn, sɛ ɔbɛhunu sɛ yɛn Agya ama nʼakwantu no asi no yiye anaa ɛnte saa. ²²Bere a yoma no nom wiee no, ɔbarima no yii sika kɔkɔɔ hwenemmuo kaa a ne mu duru bɛyɛ gram nsia, ne sika kɔkɔɔ nkapo abien a ne mu duru bɛyɛ gram ɔha ne dunum ma ne nsa, ²³na ɔkae se, “Wo yɛ hwan babea? Mesrɛ wo, ka kyerɛ me, baabi wɔ wʼagya fi a yebetumi adeda anaa?”

²⁴Obuaa no se, “Meyɛ Betuel babea, ɔba a Milka woo no maa Nahor no.” ²⁵Ɔsan kae se, “Sare ne mmoa aduan nyinaa wɔ yɛn nkyɛn bebree, na baabi a mobɛda nso wɔ hɔ.”

²⁶Afei ɔbarima no kotow som yɛn Agya. ²⁷Ɔkae se, “Nhyira nka yɛn Agya, me wura Abraham Agya a wannyae nʼadɔe ne ne nokwaredi a ɔda no adi kyerɛ me wura no. Me de, wadi mʼanim wɔ ɔkwan so de me aba me wura abusuafo fi.”

²⁸Afei ababaa no tuu mmirika kɔbɔɔ ne na fifo amanneɛ wɔ eyinom nyinaa ho. ²⁹Rebeka wɔ nuabarima bi a ne din de Laban, na Laban tuu mmirika fii adi kɔɔ ɔbarima no nkyɛn wɔ asuti no ho. ³⁰Bere a ohunuu hwenemmuo kaa no ne nkapo a ɛwɔ ne nuabea nsa no, na ɔtee sɛ ne nuabea Rebeka reka se, “Saa na ɔbarima no ka kyerɛɛ me” no, ɔkɔɔ ɔbarima no nkyɛn; na ogyina yoma no ho wɔ asuti no ho. ³¹Ɔkae se, “Bra mu, wo a Onyankopɔn ahyira wo. Adɛn na wugyina abɔnten? Mayɛ fie no krado, na masiesie baabi ama yoma no.” ³²Ɔbarima no kɔɔ fie hɔ, na wɔsoo yoma no nnesoa. Wɔde sare ne mmoa aduan maa yoma no, na wɔde nsu maa ɔne mmarima a wɔka ne ho no sɛ wɔnhohoro wɔn nan. ³³Wɔde aduan sii nʼanim, nanso ɔkae se, “Merenni kosi sɛ mɛka asɛm a mewɔ sɛ meka no.” Laban kae se, “Ka.”

³⁴Enti ɔkae se, “Meyɛ Abraham somfo. ³⁵Yɛn Agya ahyira me wura bebree ama wayɛ ɔdefo; ɔde nguan ne anantwi, dwetɛ ne sika kɔkɔɔ, nkoa ne mfenaa, yoma ne mfurum ama no. ³⁶Me wura yere Sara woo ɔbabarima maa no wɔ ne mmerewa mu; na Abraham de nea ɔwɔ nyinaa ama Isak. ³⁷Me wura maa meka ntam se, ‘Mfa Kanaanfo mmea a mete wɔn asase so no mu baako mma me ba aware, ³⁸na mmom kɔ mʼagya fi, mʼabusuafo nkyɛn, na kɔfa yere ma me ba.’ ³⁹Meka kyerɛɛ me wura se, ‘Ebia ɔbaa no rempɛ sɛ odi mʼakyi.’ ⁴⁰Nanso ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Yɛn Agya a manantew nʼanim no bɛsoma nʼabɔfo ne wo akɔ, na ɔbɛma wʼakwantu asi wo yiye, na wobɛfa yere afi mʼabusua ne mʼagya fi ama me ba. ⁴¹Sɛ woduu mʼabusuafo nkyɛn a, wo ho bɛte afi me ntam no ho; sɛ wɔampɛ sɛ wɔde no ma wo mpo a, wo ho bɛte afi me ntam no ho.’ ⁴²Nnɛ bere a meduu asuti no ho no, mekae se, ‘Me wura Abraham Agya, sɛ wobɛma mʼakwantu asi me yiye a, ⁴³me ni, megyina asuti yi ho. Enti sɛ ababaa bi fi adi bɛsaw nsu, na meka kyerɛ no se, “Mesrɛ wo, ma me nsu kakra mfi wo ahina mu nnom,” ⁴⁴na ɔka kyerɛ me se, “Nom, na mɛsaw nsu ama wo yoma no nso” a—ma ɔno nyɛ ɔbaa a yɛn Agya ayi no ama me wura ba no.’ ⁴⁵Ansa na mɛbɔ mpae wɔ me koma mu awie no, Rebeka de ne ahina si ne mmati so fii adi, siane kɔɔ asuti no ho, na ɔsaw nsu. Meka kyerɛɛ no se, ‘Mesrɛ wo, ma me nsu nnom.’ ⁴⁶Ɔyɛɛ ntɛm sianee ne ahina fii ne mmati so, na ɔkae se, ‘Nom—mɛma wo yoma no nso nsu.’ Enti menomee, na ɔmaa yoma no nso nsu nomee. ⁴⁷Mebisaa no se, ‘Wo yɛ hwan babea?’ Ɔkae se, ‘Meyɛ Betuel babea; Betuel yɛ Nahor ba a Milka woo no maa no.’ Afei mede kaa no hyɛɛ ne hwene, na mede nkapo no hyɛɛ ne nsa. ⁴⁸Mekotow som yɛn Agya, na mehyiraa me wura Abraham Agya a ɔdii mʼanim faa ɔkwan pa so sɛ mɛfa me wura busuani babea ama ne ba no. ⁴⁹Afei, sɛ mobɛda adɔe ne nokware adi akyerɛ me wura a, monka nkyerɛ me; na sɛ ɛnte saa a, monka nkyerɛ me, na mɛdan me ho akɔ nifa anaa benkum.”

⁵⁰Laban ne Betuel buae se, “Asɛm yi fi Onyankopɔn; yɛrentumi nka papa anaa bɔne. ⁵¹Rebeka ni wɔ wʼanim; fa no na kɔ, na ɔnyɛ wo wura ba yere, sɛnea yɛn Agya aka no.”

⁵²Bere a Abraham somfo no tee wɔn nsɛm no, ɔkotow kɔsii fam wɔ yɛn Agya anim. ⁵³Somfo no yii dwetɛ ne sika kɔkɔɔ nneɛma ne ntade de maa Rebeka; ɔde akyɛde a ɛsom bo nso maa ne nuabarima ne ne na. ⁵⁴Ɔne mmarima a wɔka ne ho no didii, nomee, na wɔdaa hɔ. Anɔpa no wɔsɔree, na ɔkae se, “Momma me kwan na menkɔ me wura nkyɛn.”

⁵⁵Nanso ne nuabarima ne ne na kae se, “Ma ababaa no ntena yɛn nkyɛn bɛyɛ nnafua du; ɛno akyi na ɔbɛkɔ.”

⁵⁶Nanso ɔkae se, “Monnsiw me kwan—yɛn Agya ama mʼakwantu asi me yiye. Momma me kwan na menkɔ me wura nkyɛn.”

⁵⁷Wɔkae se, “Momma yɛmfrɛ ababaa no mmisa no.” ⁵⁸Wɔfrɛɛ Rebeka bisaa no se, “Wo ne ɔbarima yi bɛkɔ anaa?” Ɔkae se, “Mɛkɔ.”

⁵⁹Enti wɔmaa wɔn nuabea Rebeka ne ne mmaahwɛfo ne Abraham somfo ne ne mmarima kɔe. ⁶⁰Wɔhyiraa Rebeka se, “Yɛn nuabea, ma wo nyɛ mpempem mpempem na; ma wʼasefo nko nfa wɔn a wɔtan wɔn no nkurow.” ^c c v60 Sɛ obi kura ne tamfo kurow pon ano a, na ɔkura ne tumi; nhyira no bɔ mpae sɛ Rebeka asefo bedi wɔn a wɔko tia wɔn no so.

⁶¹Rebeka ne ne mmaawa sɔre tenaa yoma no so, na wodii ɔbarima no akyi. Enti somfo no faa Rebeka kɔe.

⁶²Isak afi Beer-Lahai-Roi aba, efisɛ na ɔte Negeb. ⁶³Anwummere bi Isak kɔɔ wuram kɔdwennwenee; ɔmaa nʼani so no, ohunuu yoma bi sɛ ɛreba. ⁶⁴Rebeka nso maa nʼani so, na bere a ohunuu Isak no, osiane fii ne yoma so. ⁶⁵Obisaa somfo no se, “Ɔbarima bɛn na ɔnam wuram reba sɛ ɔrebɛhyia yɛn yi?” Somfo no buae se, “Ɛyɛ me wura.” Enti ɔfaa ne nkataanim kataa ne ho.

⁶⁶Afei somfo no kaa nea wayɛ nyinaa kyerɛɛ Isak. ⁶⁷Isak de no kɔɔ ne na Sara ntamadan mu, ɔwaree Rebeka, na ɔdɔɔ no. Enti ne na wu akyi no, Isak nyaa awerɛkyekye.
