3Abraham kae se, “Me wura, sɛ manya adom wɔ wʼanim a, ntwa me a meyɛ wʼakoa ho nkɔ. 4Momma wɔmfa nsu bi mmrɛ mo nhohoro mo anan ase, na monhome wɔ nnua yi ase kakra. 5Moaba mo akoa nkyɛn yi, momma mempɛ aduan kakra bi mma monka mo ano, na munnya ahoɔden nkɔ mo kwan.”
Nnipa no penee so kae se, “Eye, yɛ nea wopɛ sɛ woyɛ.”

7Afei, Abraham yɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ nʼanantwibuw no mu, kɔkyeree nantwi ba a oye na wadɔ srade de no maa ne somfo ma ɔde ahoɔhare yɛɛ ne ho adwuma. 8Afei, ɔfaa nufusu ani srade ne nufusu ne nantwi ba a ɔde anoa aduan no, de too nnipa baasa no pon. Bere a nnipa no gu so redidi no, na ogyina wɔn nkyɛn wɔ nnua no ase.
9Nnipa no bisaa Abraham se, “Wo yere Sara wɔ he?”
Abraham buaa wɔn se, “Ɔwɔ ntamadan no mu.”
10Afei, Awurade kae se, “Nea ɛbɛyɛ biara, afe sesɛɛ mɛba wo nkyɛn, na mɛba no na wo yere Sara awo ɔbabarima.”
Saa bere no, na Sara gyina ntamadan no pon akyi, retie nkɔmmɔ no. 11Na Abraham ne Sara nyinaa anyinyin yiye a wɔn mfe akɔ anim koraa nti, na Sara awo apa ho. 12Sara tee asɛm no, ɔserew ne tirim, kae se, “Manya awie aberewabɔ, na me kunu nso abɔ akwakoraa yi, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na manya saa anigyede yi?”
13Enti Awurade bisaa Abraham se, “Adɛn nti na Sara serew bisae se, ‘Ampa ara sɛ manyin adu sɛɛ yi, metumi awo ba ana?’ 14Biribi boro Awurade ahoɔden so sɛ ɔbɛyɛ? Afe sesɛɛ a mɛsan aba sɛnea mahyɛ wo ho bɔ no, na wo yere Sara awo ɔbabarima.”
15Na Sara suro nti, otwaa atoro se, “Manserew.”
Nanso Onyankopɔn kae se, “Ɛyɛ nokware turodoo sɛ woserewee.”
Abraham Di Ma Sodom
16Mmarima no kraa sɛ wɔrekɔ no, wɔde wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Sodom. Abraham kogyaa wɔn kwan. 17Afei, Awurade kae se, “Ade a mabɔ me tirim sɛ mɛyɛ no memfa nsie Abraham ana? 18Ɛyɛ nokware turodoo sɛ Abraham bɛyɛ ɔman kɛse a ɛwɔ tumi. Na ɛnam Abraham so na wobehyira amanaman a ɛwɔ asase so nyinaa. 19Efisɛ mapaw Abraham sɛ ɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ ne mma ne ne fifo Awurade kwan. Na wɔayɛ ade pa ne ade trenee a ɛsɔ Awurade ani. Sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Awurade bɔ a ɔhyɛɛ Abraham no bɛba mu.”
20Afei, Awurade kae se, “Mate nnebɔne a ɛyɛ duru a ɛrekɔ so wɔ Sodom ne Gomora no. 21Mɛkɔ hɔ akɔhwɛ sɛ, nea wɔyɛ no yɛ bɔne a ɛyɛ duru sɛnea mate no ana. Sɛ ɛnte saa nso a, mehu.”
22Na mmarima baasa no mu baanu dan wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Sodom. Nanso Abraham de, na ɔda so gyina Awurade anim. 23Na Abraham twiw bɛn Onyankopɔn bisaa no se, “Wobɛsɛe nnipa trenee ne nnipa bɔnefo nyinaa afra ana? 24Na sɛ nnipa trenee aduonum wɔ kurow no mu a, wobɛsɛe kurow no a worenhwɛ saa nnipa trenee aduonum no ho nnyae kurow no sɛe ana? 25Ɛmpare wo sɛ wobɛyɛ saa, sɛ wubekum nnipa trenee ne nnipa bɔnefo afra, de asotwe koro no ara bɛma nnipa trenee ne nnipa bɔnefo. Ɛmpare wo! Nea obu asase nyinaa atɛn no remmu atɛntrenee ana?”
26Na Awurade kae se, “Sɛ mihu nnipa trenee aduonum wɔ Sodom kurow no mu a, wɔn nti merensɛe kurow no.”
27Na Abraham bisae se, “Afei, me a meyɛ nsõ ne dɔte a mensɛ hwee, nanso masi me bo ne Awurade akasa yi, 28sɛ ɛba sɛ nnipa trenee no dodow yɛ aduanan anum nso ɛ? Esiane saa nnipa anum a wɔafi nnipa trenee aduonum no so ama aka nnipa trenee aduanan anum no nti, wobɛsɛe kurow mu no nyinaa ana?”
Onyankopɔn buae se, “Sɛ mihu nnipa trenee aduanan anum wɔ kurow no mu a, merensɛe no.”
29Abraham toaa nʼadebisa no so se, “Sɛ ɛba sɛ, nnipa trenee aduanan pɛ na wɔwɔ kurow no mu ɛ?”
Na Awurade buaa Abraham se, “Nnipa trenee aduanan no nti, merensɛe kurow no.”
30Abraham kɔɔ so srɛɛ bio se, “Mesrɛ wo, Awurade, mma wo bo mfuw me, ma menkasa. Sɛ ɛba sɛ nnipa trenee aduasa na wɔwɔ kurow no mu nso ɛ?”
Awurade buae se, “Sɛ mihu nnipa trenee aduasa a, merensɛe kurow no.”
31Afei, Abraham bisae se, “Masi me bo ne Awurade akasa yi, ɛba sɛ nnipa trenee aduonu pɛ na wɔwɔ kurow no mu ɛ?”
Onyankopɔn buae se, “Saa nnipa trenee aduonu no nti, merensɛe kurow no.”
32Abraham kɔɔ so bisae se, “Awurade, mma wo bo mfuw me; ma mimmisa mʼasɛm baako pɛ a etwa to. Sɛ ɛba sɛ, nnipa trenee du na wɔwɔ kurow no mu nso ɛ?”
Awurade buae se, “Saa nnipa trenee du no nti, merensɛe kurow no.”
33Bere a Awurade ne Abraham kasa wiee no, ogyaw Abraham hɔ kɔe. Abraham nso san kɔɔ nʼatenae.
上帝應許撒拉生子
1耶和華在幔利的橡樹那裡向亞伯拉罕顯現.那時天氣很熱,亞伯拉罕坐在帳篷口, 2抬頭看見三個人站在對面,就跑去迎接他們,俯伏在地, 3說:「我主,你們若肯賞光,請不要匆匆路過僕人這裡. 4我讓人拿點水來,你們洗洗腳,在樹下歇一會兒. 5我拿點餅來,你們補充一下體力再上路吧.你們既然路過這裡,我理應招待你們.」他們說:「好,就照你說的做吧!」
6於是,亞伯拉罕連忙進帳篷對撒拉說:「快準備三斗18·6 「三斗」希伯來文是「三細亞」,大約是十公斤.細麵粉,和麵烤餅.」 7亞伯拉罕又跑到牛群中牽了一頭肥嫩的小牛,吩咐僕人趕快準備好. 8亞伯拉罕把奶,乳酪和準備好的牛肉擺在客人面前,站在樹蔭下招待他們.
9那三位客人問亞伯拉罕:「你妻子撒拉在哪裡?」亞伯拉罕回答說:「在帳篷裡.」 10其中一人說:「明年這時候,我會再來你這裡,撒拉必生一個兒子.」這話被站在那人後面帳篷口的撒拉聽見了. 11亞伯拉罕和撒拉已經年紀老邁,撒拉的月經也已經停了. 12撒拉暗自發笑,心想:「我已經這麼老了,還會有這種福氣嗎?況且我的丈夫也很老了.」 13耶和華問亞伯拉罕:「撒拉為什麼偷笑說,『我這把年紀還會有孩子嗎?』 14什麼事難得住耶和華呢?明年這時候,我會再來你這裡,撒拉必生一個兒子.」 15撒拉聽見後非常害怕,連忙否認說:「我沒有笑!」但耶和華說:「不,你確實笑了.」
亞伯拉罕為所多瑪求情
16那三個人就起身朝所多瑪眺望,亞伯拉罕與他們同行,要送他們一程. 17耶和華說:「我要做的事怎麼可以瞞著亞伯拉罕呢? 18亞伯拉罕必成為強盛的大國,世上萬國必因他而蒙福. 19我揀選了他,是要他教導自己的子孫後代持守我的道,秉公行義.這樣,我必實現對他的應許.」 20耶和華說:「所多瑪和蛾摩拉罪惡深重,人們怨聲載道. 21我現在要下去看看他們的所作所為是否如所說的那樣邪惡,如果不是,我也會知道.」
22其中二人轉身向所多瑪走去,亞伯拉罕卻仍舊站在耶和華面前. 23亞伯拉罕上前說:「你要把義人和惡人一同毀滅嗎? 24倘若城中有五十個義人,你還要毀滅那城嗎?你會不會為了五十個義人而饒恕那座城呢? 25你絕不會黑白不分,把義人和惡人一同毀滅.你是普天下的審判者,難道不秉公行事嗎?」 26耶和華回答說:「倘若我在所多瑪城中找到五十個義人,我就要因他們的緣故饒恕全城.」 27亞伯拉罕說:「主啊,雖然我渺小如灰塵,但我還要大膽地求問你, 28倘若只有四十五個義人,你會因為少了五個義人而毀滅全城嗎?」耶和華說:「倘若我在城裡找到四十五個義人,我也不會毀滅那城.」 29亞伯拉罕又說:「倘若在那裡找到四十個義人呢?」耶和華說:「為了那四十個人的緣故,我不會毀滅那城.」 30亞伯拉罕說:「求主不要發怒,容許我再問一次,倘若在那裡只找到三十個義人呢?」耶和華說:「倘若在那裡只找到三十個,我也不會毀滅那城.」 31亞伯拉罕說:「我大膽再問一次,倘若在那裡只找到二十個義人呢?」耶和華說:「為了那二十個人的緣故,我也不會毀滅那城.」 32亞伯拉罕又說:「求主不要發怒,讓我問最後一次,倘若在那裡只找到十個義人呢?」耶和華說:「為了那十個人的緣故,我也不會毀滅那城.」 33耶和華跟亞伯拉罕說完話便離開了,亞伯拉罕也回家去了.

የግዝረት ኪዳን
1አብራም ዕድሜው 99 ዓመት በሆነ ጊዜ፣ እግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ተገልጦለት እንዲህ አለው፤ “እኔ ኤልሻዳይ”17፥1 ሁሉን የሚገዛ ማለት ነው ነኝ፤ በፊቴ ተመላለስ፤ ነቀፋም አይኑርብህ፤ 2በእኔና በአንተ መካከል የተመሠረተውን ኪዳን አጸናለሁ፤ ዘርህንም እጅግ አበዛለሁ።”
3አብራም በግንባሩ መሬት ላይ ተደፋ፤ እግዚአብሔርም (ኤሎሂም) እንዲህ አለው፤ 4“እነሆ፤ የምገባልህ ኪዳን ይህ ነው፤ የብዙ ሕዝቦች አባት ትሆናለህ። 5ከእንግዲህ ወዲያ ስምህ አብራም17፥5 አብራም ማለት የከበረ አባት ማለት ነው መባሉ ቀርቶ አብርሃም ይሆናል፤ የብዙ ሕዝቦች አባት አድርጌሃለሁና። 6ዘርህን እጅግ አበዛለሁ፤ ብዙ ሕዝብም አደርግሃለሁ፤ ነገሥታትም ከአንተ ይወጣሉ። 7በእኔና በአንተ፣ ከአንተም በኋላ ከዘርህ ጋር ከትውልድ እስከ ትውልድ የዘላለም ኪዳኔን እመሠርታለሁ፤ በዚህም የአንተና ከአንተም በኋላ የዘርህ አምላክ (ኤሎሂም) እሆናለሁ። 8ይህችን አሁን በእንግድነት የምትኖርባትን የከነዓንን ምድር በሙሉ ለአንተና ከአንተም በኋላ ለዘርህ ለዘላለም ርስት አድርጌ እሰጣለሁ፤ አምላካቸውም (ኤሎሂም) እሆናለሁ።”
9ከዚያም እግዚአብሔር (ኤሎሂም) አብርሃምን እንዲህ አለው፤ “በአንተም በኩል፣ አንተና ከአንተ በኋላ የሚመጣው ዘርህ ከትውልድ እስከ ትውልድ ኪዳኔን ትጠብቃላችሁ። 10አንተና ከአንተም በኋላ የሚመጣው ዘርህ የምትጠብቁት ኪዳን ይህ ነው፤ በመካከላችሁ ያለ ወንድ ሁሉ ይገረዝ። 11ስለዚህ ሁላችሁም ሸለፈታችሁን ትገረዛላችሁ፤ ይህም በእኔና በእናንተ መካከል ላለው ኪዳን ምልክት ይሆናል። 12የሚመጣውም ትውልድ ሁሉ፣ ማንኛውም ወንድ ልጅ፣ ስምንት ቀን ሲሞላው ይገረዝ፤ እንደዚሁም በቤትህ የተወለደውና ከውጭ በገንዘብ የተገዛ ባዕድ ሁሉ ይገረዝ። 13በቤትህ የተወለደም ሆነ በገንዘብህ የተገዛ ሁሉ መገረዝ አለበት፤ በሥጋችሁ የሚፈጸመው ይህ ኪዳኔ የዘላለም ኪዳን ይሆናል። 14የሥጋ ሸለፈቱን ያልተገረዘ ማንኛውም ወንድ ኪዳኔን በማፍረሱ ከወገኖቹ ይወገድ።”
15እግዚአብሔር (ኤሎሂም) አብርሃምን እንዲህ አለው፤ “ሦራን ከእንግዲህ ሦራ ብለህ አትጠራትም፤ ስሟ ከዛሬ ጀምሮ ሣራ ይሁን። 16እኔ እባርካታለሁ ከእርሷም ወንድ ልጅ እሰጥሃለሁ፤ የብዙም ሕዝቦች እናት ትሆን ዘንድ እባርካታለሁ፤ የሕዝቦችም ነገሥታት ከእርሷ ይወጣሉ።”
17አብርሃምም በግንባሩ መሬት ላይ ተደፋ፤ ሣቀና በልቡ፣ “እንዲያው ምንስ ቢሆን የመቶ ዓመት ሽማግሌ የልጅ አባት መሆን ይችላልን? ሣራስ በዘጠና ዓመቷ ልጅ መውለድ ትችላለችን?” አለ። 18አብርሃም እግዚአብሔርን (ኤሎሂም)፣ “እስማኤልን ብቻ ባርከህ ባኖርህልኝ” አለው።
19እግዚአብሔርም (ኤሎሂም) እንዲህ አለ፤ “ይሁን እሺ፤ ነገር ግን ሚስትህ ሣራ ወንድ ልጅ ትወልድልሃለች፤ ስሙንም ይስሐቅ17፥19 ይስሐቅ ማለት ይሥቃል ማለት ነው ብለህ ትጠራዋለህ፤ እኔም ከእርሱ በኋላ ለዘሩ ሁሉ የሚሆን የዘላለም ኪዳን ከእርሱ ጋር እገባለሁ። 20ስለ እስማኤልም ቢሆን ልመናህን ሰምቼሃለሁ፤ እርሱንም እባርከዋለሁ፤ ፍሬያማም አደርገዋለሁ፤ እጅግም አበዛዋለሁ፤ የዐሥራ ሁለት አለቆች አባት ይሆናል፤ ታላቅም ሕዝብ አደርገዋለሁ። 21ኪዳኔን ግን የዛሬ ዓመት በዚሁ ጊዜ ሣራ ከምትወልድልህ ልጅ፣ ከይስሐቅ ጋር አደርጋለሁ።” 22እግዚአብሔር (ኤሎሂም) ከአብርሃም ጋር መነጋገሩን ከፈጸመ በኋላ ወደ ላይ ወጣ።
23በዚያችም ዕለት አብርሃም እግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ባዘዘው መሠረት ልጁን እስማኤልን፣ በቤቱ ውስጥ የተወለዱትንና ከውጭ በገንዘቡ የገዛቸውን ወንዶች በሙሉ ገረዛቸው። 24አብርሃም ሲገረዝ ዕድሜው 99 ዓመት ነበር። 25ልጁም እስማኤል ሲገረዝ 13 ዓመቱ ነበር። 26አብርሃምና ልጁ እስማኤል፣ ሁለቱም በዚያኑ ቀን ተገረዙ። 27በአብርሃም ቤት ያሉ ወንዶች ሁሉ፣ በቤቱ የተወለዱትም ሆኑ ከውጭ በገንዘብ የተገዙ ከእርሱ ጋር ተገረዙ።

Yakob Mma No San Kɔ Misraim
1Saa bere no mu no, na ɔkɔm no ano da so yɛ den wɔ asase no so nyinaa. 2Enti bere a aduan a wɔkɔtɔ fii Misraim bae no reyɛ asa no, wɔn agya Yakob ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monsan nkɔ nkɔtɔ aduan kakra mmra bio.”
3Nanso Yuda ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya Yakob se, “Owura no sua kyerɛɛ yɛn denneennen se, ‘Sɛ moamfa mo nua kumaa no anka mo ho amma a, munnsi mʼanim ha bio.’ 4Sɛ wobɛma yɛne yɛn nua kumaa no akɔ de a, ɛno de, yɛbɛsan akɔ akɔtɔ aduan no bi abrɛ wo. 5Nanso sɛ woamma yɛamfa no ankɔ de a, yɛrenkɔ, efisɛ owura no suaa denneennen se, ‘Sɛ mo nua kumaa no nka mo ho a, munnsi mʼanim bio.’ ”
6Israel bisaa ne mma no se, “Adɛn nti na moka kyerɛɛ owura no se mowɔ nua kumaa bi wɔ hɔ, na mode saa ɔhaw yi abɛto me so?”
7Anuanom no buaa wɔn agya Israel se, “Owura no nyaa adagyew, tɔɔ ne bo ase bisaa yɛn ne yɛn abusuafo ho nsɛm nyinaa se, ‘Mo agya da so te ase ana? Mowɔ onua foforo bi ka mo ho?’ Nsɛm a obisaa yɛn no na yebuaa no. Na yennim sɛ ɔbɛka se, ‘Momfa mo nua kumaa no mmra.’ ”
8Ɛhɔ na Yuda ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya Israel se, “Fa yɛn nua no hyɛ me nsa, na yensi mu nkɔ ntɛm nkɔtɔ aduan no bi mmra, na ɔkɔm ankum yɛn ne wo ne yɛn mma. 9Mʼankasa mɛhwɛ abofra no so.

11Afei, wɔn agya Israel ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Sɛ meyɛ ho hwee na ɛrenyɛ yiye de a, ɛno de, momfa asase yi so nnepa a bi ne akyenkyennuru kakra, ɛwo kakra, aduhuam, kurobow, nkate ne ɔsonkoran aba nhyɛ mo nkotoku mu, nkɔyɛ owura no ayɛ. 12Sika a mode rekɔ no nso, monyɛ no mmɔho efisɛ ɛsɛ sɛ mosan de sika a kan no mode kɔe na ɔsan de hyɛɛ mo nnesoa mu bae no kɔma no.

15Enti Israelmma no faa akyɛde ahorow a wɔde rekɔ akɔyɛ owura no ayɛ no, ne wɔn sika mmɔho abien, ne wɔn nua kumaa Benyamin kaa wɔn ho, sii mu kɔe. Woduu Misraim no, wokoyii wɔn ho adi kyerɛɛ Yosef. 16Bere a Yosef huu sɛ Benyamin ka wɔn ho no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ne fi somfo panyin no se, “Fa nkurɔfo no kɔ me fi, na kum aboa bi, na wɔmfa nnoa aduan, na awia me ne wɔn bedidi.”
17Ɔsomfo panyin no yɛɛ sɛnea Yosef kae no ma ɔde nkurɔfo no kɔɔ Yosef fi. 18Ɔde wɔn duu Yosef fi no, wosuroe. Wɔkae se, “Gyama esiane dwetɛ a yɛbɛtɔɔ aduan a edi kan no wɔde hyehyɛɛ yɛn nkotoku mu no nti na ɔde yɛn aba ha. Ɔpɛ sɛ ɔde korɔn to yɛn so, na ɔfa yɛn sɛ ne nkoa, na ɔsan fa yɛn mfurum no nyinaa.”
19Woduu Yosef fi kwan no ano no, wɔkɔɔ Yosef somfo panyin no nkyɛn. 20Wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛn wura, yɛsrɛ wo, yɛbaa ha bere bi a atwa mu bɛtɔɔ aduan. 21Bere a yɛresan akɔ yɛn kurom a ade sae, na yɛsoɛsoɛɛ no, asoɛe hɔ na yebuebuee yɛn nkotoku ano, na yehuu sɛ obiara sika a okurae a anka ɔde rekɔtɔ aburow no hyɛ ne kotoku no mu pɛpɛɛpɛ.

O sonho do Faraó
1Certa noite, dois anos inteiros depois disto, o Faraó sonhou que estava em pé, à beira do rio Nilo, 2numa das suas margens, quando de repente começaram a subir do rio sete vacas gordas, de belíssimo aspeto, e começaram a pastar por ali. 3Logo a seguir sete outras vacas vieram também do rio; mas eram muito magras e de aspeto miserável. Chegaram-se e puseram-se ao lado das outras ali na margem do rio; 4até que começaram a comer as vacas gordas. Nesse ponto, o Faraó acordou.
5Passado pouco tempo tornou a adormecer e teve um segundo sonho. Desta vez viu sete espigas cheias e do melhor aspeto, brotando do mesmo pé. 6Logo a seguir apareceram, saindo igualmente desse pé, outras sete espigas. Mas estas últimas, definhadas e queimadas pelos ventos orientais, 7puseram-se a devorar as outras que eram cheias e belas. Nisto, acordou o Faraó: era um sonho.
8Na manhã seguinte, relembrando os sonhos que tivera, ficou muito preocupado, cismando no significado daquilo. Chamou os magos e os sábios do Egito e contou-lhes tudo. No entanto, nenhum foi capaz de dar sugestão alguma sobre o sentido das imagens com que sonhara. 9Só nessa altura é que o copeiro-chefe se lembrou de falar ao rei: “Tenho de confessar neste momento a minha culpa! 10Há uns tempos atrás, quando o rei estava muito indignado contra dois de nós e nos pôs, a mim e ao padeiro-chefe, na prisão, na fortaleza do chefe da casa militar do rei, 11o padeiro-chefe e eu também tivemos um sonho cada um, uma certa noite. 12E contámos os nossos sonhos a um moço hebreu que ali estava que era escravo do chefe da casa militar do Faraó; ele deu-nos a explicação dos sonhos. 13A verdade é que tudo aconteceu como ele disse: Eu fui reposto nas minhas funções de copeiro e o padeiro foi executado e pendurado num poste.”
14O Faraó mandou logo chamar José. Fizeram-no sair do cárcere e depois de se barbear e de mudar de roupa, veio à presença do Faraó.
15“Tive um sonho a noite passada”, disse-lhe o Faraó, “e ninguém conseguiu explicá-lo. Mas ouvi dizer que consegues interpretar sonhos e por isso te chamei.”
16“Por mim nada posso fazer”, disse José, “mas Deus poderá dar-te uma resposta que te tranquilize.”
17Então o Faraó contou-lhe o sonho: “Eu estava de pé numa das margens do rio Nilo, 18quando de repente sete vacas gordas e de ótimo aspeto vieram do rio e começaram a pastar por ali. 19Depois outras sete vacas subiram também do rio até à margem, mas eram magras e de ar miserável; na realidade nunca tinha visto antes animais de aspeto tão pobre e enfraquecido. 20E estas últimas começaram a comer as gordas. 21Mas a verdade é que, mesmo depois de as terem comido, continuavam magras como dantes. Nessa altura, acordei.
22Pouco tempo depois, nessa mesma noite, tive um novo sonho. Desta vez eram sete espigas, saindo do mesmo pé. As sete espigas eram todas de belo aspeto e cheias de grão. 23A seguir, ainda do mesmo pé, saíram mais sete espigas, mas finas e ressequidas por causa do vento leste. 24Estas últimas engoliram as cheias. Contei tudo isto aos meus magos, mas nenhum deles me soube dar uma explicação.”
25“Ambos os sonhos têm o mesmo significado”, disse José ao Faraó. “Deus quis dar-te a conhecer o que vai fazer. 26As sete vacas gordas, tal como as sete espigas cheias, significam que vai haver sete anos de prosperidade. 27As outras sete vacas magras, assim como as sete espigas definhadas, indicam que vai haver sete anos de fome logo após os sete anos de riqueza.
28Dessa forma, Deus te revela o que vai fazer. 29Os próximos sete anos serão um período de grande prosperidade em toda a terra do Egito. 30Mas os sete anos seguintes serão de tanta fome que ninguém se lembrará da prosperidade passada. A fome consumirá a terra. 31Será tão terrível que toda a fartura dos bons anos passará da memória das gentes. 32O facto de o sonho ter sido duplicado dá uma força especial ao seu significado, confirmando que aquilo que eu disse certamente virá a dar-se em breve.
33A minha sugestão é que procures um homem entendido e sábio e o ponhas como responsável de uma política agrícola a nível nacional; 34que o Faraó institua governadores em todo o país com a missão de recolher um imposto de um quinto de todas as colheitas, durante os próximos sete anos. 35Eles deverão recolher todo o trigo que sobra durante estes bons anos que estão para vir e depois devem armazenar em cada uma das cidades, às ordens do Faraó, para depois alimentar o país. 36Assim, haverá comida suficiente nos sete anos de fome que hão de vir depois. Se não, será inevitável um grave desastre!”
37Estas sugestões de José foram muito bem recebidas pelo Faraó e pelos seus conselheiros. 38Enquanto discutiam quem seria designado para tal tarefa, o Faraó disse: “Quem melhor do que o próprio José poderia desempenhar esse cargo? É uma pessoa em quem existe claramente o Espírito de Deus.” 39E voltando-se para José: “Visto que Deus te revelou a ti o significado destes sonhos, és sem dúvida o homem mais entendido do país. 40Portanto, nomeio-te responsável por todo este projeto. Tudo o que disseres terá validade em toda a terra do Egito. Só eu estarei acima de ti em autoridade.”
José, governador do Egito
41Então disse mais o Faraó a José: “Fica sabendo que te nomeio responsável sobre toda a terra do Egito.” 42Depois o Faraó colocou o seu próprio anel de selar no dedo de José como sinal de autoridade; deu-lhe belas roupas de linho da melhor qualidade, pôs-lhe ainda um colar de ouro ao pescoço. 43Além disso, o Faraó deu-lhe o carro destinado ao seu ajudante principal, e por toda a parte por onde passava gritava-se “Ajoelhem-se!”
44Faraó fez esta declaração a José: “Eu, o Faraó, declaro que, sem a tua autorização, ninguém poderá fazer seja o que for no Egito.”
45E ainda lhe deu o título oficial de Safnate-Panea.41.45 Não se conhece bem este nome em egípcio, mas para muitos estudiosos, o termo significa Deus fala; ele vive. E deu-lhe por mulher Asenate, filha de Potífera, um sacerdote em Om.41.45 Isto é, Heliópolis. Depois José saiu a inspecionar toda a terra do Egito. 46Tinha 30 anos de idade quando entrou ao serviço do rei. Despediu-se então deste e começou a visitar toda a nação.
47Nos sete anos que se seguiram a terra produziu com fartura. 48Durante todo esse tempo José requisitou para o governo parte de tudo o que se produzia, armazenando nas cidades o alimento produzido nos campos dos arredores. 49No fim dos sete anos os celeiros estavam repletos, e era tanto o abastecimento que nem havia preocupação de contar e registar.
50Por este tempo, antes que viessem os sete anos de fome, nasceram dois filhos a José e Asenate, sua mulher, a filha de Potífera, sacerdote de Om. 51José chamou ao mais velho Manassés, querendo dizer com isso que Deus o tinha feito esquecer todas as angústias do passado, assim como a tristeza da perda da família. 52Ao segundo chamou Efraim, “Porque Deus me fez prosperar na terra em que fui escravo”, disse.
53Por fim, os sete anos de abundância terminaram. 54E iniciaram-se os sete anos de fome como José previra. Começou a haver falta de alimentos em todas as terras circunvizinhas; mas no Egito havia o suficiente. 55O povo começou a sentir a falta de provisões e vieram pedir ao Faraó que fornecesse alimentos; o Faraó mandava as gentes a José: “Vão ter com ele e façam o que vos disser.”
56Dessa forma, ainda que por toda a terra a fome apertasse as populações, José pôde abrir os postos de armazenamento e vender mantimento aos egípcios; 57até mesmo aos que das terras próximas vinham ao Egito comprar provisões.

Yɛkenkan sɛnea ɔsomafo Yohane ka Atemmu Da ho asɛm wɔ Adiyisɛm 20:11, 12 sɛ: “Mihuu ahengua kɛse fitaa bi ne nea ɔte so no. Asase ne ɔsoro guan fii n’anim, na wɔannya baabiara amma wɔn.

하나님을 섬기는 다니엘과 그의 친구들
1유다의 여호야김왕 3년에 바빌로니아의 느부갓네살왕이 예루살렘을 포위하였다.
2여호와께서 여호야김왕을 그의 손에 넘겨 주셨으므로 그가 유다 왕을 포로로 잡아가면서 성전의 일부 기구들을 가지고 돌아가 1:2 히 ‘시날 땅’바빌론에 있는 자기 신전의 창고에 넣어 두었다.
3느부갓네살왕은 1:3 또는 ‘환관장’궁중 대신 아스부나스에게 명령하여 이스라엘의 포로 가운데 왕족과 귀족 출신으로
4신체적인 결함이 없고 잘생겼으며 지능 지수가 높고 다방면의 지식을 가졌고 이해력이 빠르고 왕궁에서 섬길 자격이 있는 소년들을 데려오게 하여 그들에게 바빌로니아 말과 학문을 가르치게 하였다.
5왕은 또 자기가 먹는 제일 맛있는 음식과 포도주 가운데서 날마다 그들에게 일정한 양을 공급하였으며 3년 동안의 수련 과정이 끝나면 왕 앞에서 섬길 수 있도록 하였다.
6그 뽑힌 소년들 가운데는 다니엘과 하나냐와 미사엘과 아사랴가 있었는데 그들은 모두 유다 지파 사람들이었다.
7궁중 대신은 그들의 이름을 바빌로니아식으로 다니엘은 벨드사살, 하나냐는 사드락, 미사엘은 메삭, 아사랴는 아벳느고로 각각 고쳤다.
8다니엘은 왕의 음식과 포도주로 자신을 더럽히지 않겠다고 굳게 마음 먹고 궁중 대신에게 자기를 도와 달라고 간청하였다.
9하나님은 다니엘에게 궁중 대신의 환심과 동정을 사게 하셨다.
10그러나 궁중 대신은 왕을 두려워하여 다니엘에게 이렇게 말하였다. “왕이 너희 먹을 것과 마실 것을 지정하셨는데 만일 너희가 핼쑥하여 너희 얼굴이 다른 소년들보다 못하게 되면 왕이 나를 죽일지도 모른다.”
11그래서 다니엘은 궁중 대신이 자기와 자기 친구 하나냐와 미사엘과 아사랴를 감독하게 한 사람에게 가서 이렇게 말하였다.
12“우리를 10일 동안 시험해 보십시오. 우리에게 채소와 물만 주어 먹게 하고
13그 후에 왕의 음식을 먹는 소년들과 비교하여 우리의 얼굴 모습을 보고 우리를 처분하십시오.”
14그는 이 제의를 승낙하고 그들을 10일 동안 시험하였다.
15그런데 10일 후에 그들은 왕의 음식을 먹는 다른 소년들보다 더 혈색이 좋고 건강하게 보였다.
16그래서 그때부터 그는 왕이 지정한 포도주와 음식을 주지 않고 그들이 채식을 할 수 있도록 하였다.
17하나님은 이 네 소년들에게 학문과 그 밖의 모든 것을 통달할 수 있는 지혜와 지식을 주셨으며 특별히 다니엘에게는 꿈과 환상을 해석할 수 있는 능력도 주셨다.
18왕이 정한 3년 동안의 수련 과정이 끝나자 궁중 대신은 그들을 느부갓네살왕 앞으로 데리고 갔다.
19왕이 그들과 대면하여 이야기해 보니 다니엘과 하나냐와 미사엘과 아사랴가 다른 소년들보다 우수하였다. 그래서 그들이 왕을 섬기는 자들이 되었는데
20왕은 그들에게 무슨 문제를 물어도 그들의 지혜와 총명이 그 나라의 어떤 마술사나 점성가보다 열 배나 더 낫다는 것을 알게 되었다.
21이렇게 해서 다니엘은 페르시아의 키루스황제 원년까지 그 곳 왕궁에 머물러 있었다.

1And he heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father’s; and of that which was our father’s hath he gotten all this glory. 2And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.31.2 as before: Heb. as yesterday and the day before 3And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee. 4And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock, 5And said unto them, I see your father’s countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me. 6And ye know that with all my power I have served your father. 7And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me. 8If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked. 9Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me. 10And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.31.10 rams: or, he goats 11And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I. 12And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee. 13I am the God of Beth-el, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred. 14And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house? 15Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money. 16For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children’s: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.
17¶ Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels; 18And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padan-aram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan. 19And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father’s.31.19 images: Heb. teraphim 20And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.31.20 unawares…: Heb. the heart of Laban 21So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead. 22And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled. 23And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days’ journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead. 24And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.31.24 either…: Heb. from good to bad
25¶ Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead. 26And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword? 27Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?31.27 steal…: Heb. hast stolen me 28And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing. 29It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. 30And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father’s house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods? 31And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me. 32With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them. 33And Laban went into Jacob’s tent, and into Leah’s tent, and into the two maidservants’ tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah’s tent, and entered into Rachel’s tent. 34Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel’s furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.31.34 searched: Heb. felt 35And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images.
36¶ And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me? 37Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.31.37 searched: Heb. felt 38This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten. 39That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night. 40Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes. 41Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times. 42Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.
43¶ And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born? 44Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee. 45And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar. 46And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap. 47And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.31.47 Jegar-sahadutha: that is, The heap of witness, Chaldee31.47 Galeed: that is, The heap of witness, Heb. 48And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed; 49And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.31.49 Mizpah: that is, A beacon, or, watchtower 50If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee. 51And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee; 52This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm. 53The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac. 54Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount.31.54 offered…: or, killed beasts 55And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
Yakob Guan Fi Laban Nkyɛn
1Yakob tee sɛ Laban mmabarima no reka se, “Yakob afa yɛn agya ho nneɛma nyinaa. Nʼahonya nyinaa fi yɛn agya nneɛma a wafa no.” 2Yakob huu sɛ afei de, Laban ntew nʼanim nkyerɛ no sɛ kan no.
3Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yakob se, “San kɔ wʼabusuafo ne wo nkurɔfo asase so, na medi wʼakyi.”
4Enti Yakob soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ ne yerenom Rahel ne Lea se wɔmmra ne nkyɛn wɔ sare no so, faako a ɔne ne nguankuw no wɔ no. 5Wɔbae no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mahu sɛ afei de, mo agya Laban anim nyɛ me fɛ sɛ kan no, nanso Onyankopɔn a mʼagya Isak som no no ka me ho. 6Munim sɛ mayi me yam de mʼahoɔden nyinaa ayɛ adwuma ama mo agya; 7nanso mo agya nam asisi kwan so asesa mʼakatua mu mpɛn du.

14Na Rahel ne Lea bisae se, “Enti saa tebea a yɛwɔ mu yi, yɛwɔ kyɛfa bi wɔ yɛn agya agyapade mu ana? 15Yɛn agya mfa yɛn sɛ yɛyɛ ahɔho?

17Na Yakob de ne mma ne ne yerenom tenatenaa yoma so. 18Ɔkaa ne mmoa nyinaa, agyapade a wanya nyinaa ne mmoa a onyaa wɔ Paddan-Aram nyinaa dii nʼanim sɛ, ɔrekɔ nʼagya Isak nkyɛn wɔ Kanaan asase so.
19Bere a Laban kɔɔ wuram sɛ ɔrekotwitwa ne nguan ho nwi no, Rahel faa nʼakyi kowiaa nʼagya fi abosom. 20Yakob daadaa Aramni Laban a wamma wanhu sɛ ɔreguan. 21Yakob de nʼahode nyinaa guanee. Otwaa Asubɔnten Eufrate, de nʼani kyerɛɛ bepɔw asase Gilead no so.

22Yakob ne nʼabusuafo guanee no, nnansa akyi ansa na Laban tee sɛ wɔkɔ. 23Laban faa ne fifo kaa ne ho, de anibere tiw Yakob. Nnanson akyi ansa na ɔkɔtoo Yakob ne ne nkurɔfo no wɔ bepɔw Gilead so. 24Saa da no ara anadwo, Onyankopɔn yii ne ho adi wɔ dae mu kyerɛɛ Aramni Laban. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no wɔ dae no mu se, “Hwɛ yiye na woankɔka asɛm biara; sɛ ɛyɛ asɛm pa anaa asɛmmɔne ankyerɛ Yakob.”
25Bere a Laban ne ne fifo kɔtoo Yakob no, na Yakob asisi ne ntamadan wɔ bepɔw Gilead atifi. Laban ne ne fifo no nso sisii wɔn ntamadan wɔ hɔ. 26Na Laban kɔɔ Yakob nkyɛn kobisaa no se, “Asɛm bɛn na wode adi me yi? Woadaadaa me, akyekyere me mmabea de wɔn reguan te sɛ nnommumfo. 27Adɛn nti na wodaadaa me, na wuguan fii me nkyɛn a woankra?

Na adɛn nti na wuwiaa mʼabosom de kaa wo nneɛma ho?”
31Yakob buaa Laban se, “Na misuro. Na ɛyɛ me sɛ wode tumi begye wo mmabea no afi me nsam. 32Nanso obiara a wubehu wʼabosom no wɔ ne nkyɛn no, ɔsɛ owu. Wʼankasa hwehwɛ sɛ wubehu biribiara a ɛyɛ wo de wɔ me nneɛma yi mu wɔ yɛn nuanom yi anim. Sɛ wuhu biribiara a ɛyɛ wo de a, fa wʼade.” Bere a Yakob kaa saa asɛm yi no, na onnim sɛ Rahel na wawia nʼagya Laban abosom no.
33Ɛno nti, Laban kɔɔ Yakob, Lea, ne nʼasomfo Bilha ne Silpa ntamadan mu kɔhwehwɛɛ hɔ, nanso wanhu biribiara. Afei, okowuraa Rahel ntamadan mu. 34Na Rahel awia abosom no de ahyehyɛ ne yoma no agua ase, atena so. Enti Laban kɔhwehwɛɛ nneɛma a ɛwɔ Rahel ntamadan no nyinaa mu, nanso wanhu abosom no.
35Rahel ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya se, “Agya, mma wo bo mfuw me sɛ mete hɔ wɔ wʼanim na mennsɔre nnyina hɔ, makɔ afikyiri.” Enti Laban toaa so hwehwɛɛ abosom no ara, nanso wanhu.
36Ɛyɛɛ saa no, Yakob bo fuw Laban yiye, bisaa no se, “Bɔne bɛn na mayɛ? Amumɔyɛsɛm bɛn na madi a ɛno nti, woataa me ara yi?” 37Wohwehwɛɛ me nneɛma nyinaa mu yi, dɛn ade na wuhuu a ɛyɛ wo ne wo fifo de?

38“Mfirihyia aduonu a wo ne me tenae, wo nguan ne wo mmirekyi abere no ampɔmpɔn, na mankum wʼadwennini yi bi amfi wo nguankuw yi mu anwe da. 39Mamfa wʼaboa biara a akekaboa bi atetew ne mu ammrɛ wo; wɔn a mmoa kum wɔn no, mʼankasa mehyɛɛ anan mu.

Nanso Onyankopɔn huu mʼamanehunu ne me nsa ano adwuma nti na nnɛra anadwo ɔkaa wʼanim no.”
Laban Ne Yakob Yɛ Apam
43Laban buaa Yakob se, “Mmea no yɛ me mmabea, mmofra no nso yɛ me nenanom, na nguankuw no nso yɛ me nguankuw. Nneɛma a wuhu yi nyinaa yɛ me de. Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na matumi ayɛ mʼankasa me mmabea ne me nenanom bɔne? 44Afei, bra na me ne wo nyɛ apam a ebedi me ne wo ntam adanse. Saa apam no so na yebedi wɔ yɛn asetena nyinaa mu.”
45Enti Yakob faa ɔbo de sii hɔ yɛɛ nkaedum. 46Yakob kyerɛɛ ne nuanom no se, “Montase abo!” Enti wɔtasee abo boaa ano, na wɔn nyinaa tenaa ho didii. 47Laban frɛɛ abo kuw no Yegar-Sahaduta a ne nkyerɛase ne Adanse Kuw. Yakob nso frɛɛ saa abo kuw no Gal-Ed, a ne nkyerɛase ne Adanse Kuw saa ara.
48Laban kae se, “Abo Kuw yi na edi me ne wo ntam adanse nnɛ!” Ɛno nti na wɔfrɛ no Gal-Ed no. 49Na wɔsan frɛ abo nkaedum no nso bio sɛ, “Mispa” efisɛ Laban kae se, “Awurade mmoa yɛn, na sɛ yɛn ntam tetew mpo a, yɛn mu biara bedi saa apam yi so. 50Sɛ woanhwɛ me mmabea yi yiye anaasɛ woware mmea foforo ka me mmabea yi ho a, ɛwɔ mu sɛ merenhu, nanso Onyankopɔn de, obehu.”
51Laban san ka kyerɛɛ Yakob se, “Abo Kuw yi ni.

Enti Yakob de nʼagya Isak Nyankopɔn ho suro kaa ntam sɛ, ɔrentra ɔhye no. 54Yakob bɔɔ Onyankopɔn afɔre wɔ bepɔw no atifi, na ohyiahyiaa ne nnamfonom ma wobedidii. Ɛno akyi no, wɔdaa ne nkyɛn wɔ bepɔw no so.
