Genesis 22
1 Miabot ang panahon human niining mga butanga nga gisulayan sa Dios si Abraham. Miingon siya kaniya, “Abraham!” Mitubag si Abraham, “Ania ako”.
Several years later, God tested Abraham [to find out] whether Abraham [really trusted in him and would obey him]. He called out to Abraham, and Abraham replied, “I’m here.”
2 Unya miingon ang Dios, “Dad-a ang imong anak, ang bugtong mong anak nga lalaki nga si Isaac nga imong hinigugma, ug adto sa yuta sa Moriah. Ihalad siya didto ingon nga halad sinunog sa usa sa mga kabukiran didto, nga akong isulti kanimo.
God said, “Your son, Isaac, whom you love very much, is the only son [who is still here with you]. But take him and go together to the Moriah region. Offer him as a sacrifice like a burnt offering, on a hill that I will show you.”
3 Busa mibangon si Abraham sa sayo sa kabuntagon, ug gikargahan niya ang asno, ug gidala niya uban kaniya ang duha ka batan-ong mga lalaki, kauban si Isaac nga iyang anak nga lalaki. Nangahoy siya alang sa halad sinunog, unya migikan na sa iyang panaw padulong sa dapit nga gisulti sa Dios kaniya.
So Abraham got up early the next morning, put a saddle on his donkey, and took with him two of his servants along with his son, Isaac. He also chopped some wood to kindle a fire for a burnt offering. Then they started traveling to the place God told him about.
4 Sa ikatulo ka adlaw mihangad si Abraham ug nakita niya ang dapit sa halayo.
On the third day of their travels, Abraham looked up and saw in the distance the place where God wanted him to go.
5 Unya miingon si Abraham sa iyang mga batan-ong lalaki, “Hulat dinhi uban sa asno, ug ako ug ang bata lamang moadto didto. Mosimba kami ug mobalik ra kaninyo.”
Abraham said to his servants, “You two stay here with the donkey while the boy and I go over there. We will worship God there, and then we will come back to you.”
6 Unya gikuha ni Abraham ang sugnod alang sa halad sinunog ug gipapas-an kini kang Isaac nga iyang anak. Gidala niya sa iyang kamot ang kalayo ug ang punyal; ug nangadto na silang duha.
Then Abraham took the wood to kindle a fire for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, for him to carry. Abraham carried in his hand a [pan containing burning coals to start a] fire, and a knife, and the two of them walked along together.
7 Nakigsulti si Isaac sa iyang Amahan ug miingon, “Amahan ko.” ug mitubag siya, “Ania ako, akong anak.” Miingon siya, “Tan-awa, may kalayo ug pangsugnod dinhi, apan diin na man ang karnero alang sa halad sinunog?”
Then Isaac spoke to his father Abraham, saying, “My father!” Abraham replied, “Yes, my son, I’m here!” Isaac said, “Look, we have wood and [coals to light] a fire, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8 Miingon si Abraham, “Ang Dios sa iyang kaugalingon magapatagbo sa karnero alang sa halad sinunog, anak ko.” Busa mipadayon na silang duha.
Abraham replied, “My son, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering.” So the two of them continued walking along together.
9 Sa nahiabot na sila sa dapit nga gisulti sa Dios kaniya, nagbuhat si Abraham ug halaran didto ug gibutang niya ang mga sugnod niini. Unya gigapos niya ni Isaac nga iyang anak ug gipahigda ibabaw sa halaran, sa ibabaw sa mga sugnod.
They arrived at the place God had told him about. There, Abraham built a stone altar and arranged the wood on top of it. Then he tied his son Isaac, and laid him on the altar on top of the wood.
10 Ug giisa ni Abraham ang iyang kamot ug gikuha ang punyal aron patyon ang iyang anak.
Then Abraham took the knife and reached out to kill his son.
11 Ug unya ang anghel ni Yahweh mitawag kaniya gikan sa langit ug miingon, “Abraham, Abraham!” ug miingon si Abraham, “Ania ako.”
But an angel [who was really Yahweh] called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” Abraham replied, “I’m here!”
12 Miingon siya, “Ayaw pagbakyawa ang imong kamot batok sa bata, ni modagmal kaniya, kay nasayod na ako nga nahadlok ka sa Dios, sa pagpakita nga wala mo gihikaw ang imong anak nga lalaki, ang bugtong mong anak nga lalaki gikan kanako.”
The angel said, “Do not harm the boy or do anything to injure him, because now I know that you respect and obey God. I know that because you have not refused to sacrifice your son, the only son [who is still with you].”
13 Mihangad si Abraham ug ania karon, sa iyang likod adunay laking karnero nga nagapos ang sungay sa kasagbotan. Giadto ug gikuha ni Abraham ang laking karnero ug gihalad ingon nga halad sinunog puli sa iyang anak.
Then Abraham looked up and saw that a ram was nearby, whose horns had been caught in a (thicket/clump of bushes). So Abraham went over and grabbed the ram [and killed it], and sacrificed it on the altar as a burnt offering, instead of his son.
14 Busa gitawag ni Abraham kadtong dapita ug, “Si Yahweh ang magapatagbo,” ug gitawag kini niining panahona, “Sa bukid ni Yahweh ipatagbo kini.”
Abraham named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’. And to the present day, people say, “On Yahweh’s mountain, he will provide.”
15 Ang anghel ni Yahweh mitawag kang Abraham sa ikaduhang higayon gikan sa langit
The angel [who was really Yahweh] called out to Abraham from heaven a second time.
16 ug miingon—mao kini ang mensahe ni Yahweh, “Pinaagi sa akong kaugalingon manumpa ako nga tungod sa imong pagbuhat niining butanga, ug wala mihikaw sa imong anak nga lalaki, nga imong bugtong anak,
He said, “I, Yahweh your Lord, am telling you that you did what I told you, and you have not refused to sacrifice your only son [that is with you]. So I say, ‘I solemnly swear, with myself as my witness,
17 pagapanalanginan ko gayod ikaw ug padaghanon pag-ayo ang imong kaliwatan sama kadaghan sa mga bituon sa kalangitan, ug sama kadaghan sa mga balas sa baybayon; ug ang imong kaliwatan manag-iya sa mga ganghaan sa ilang mga kaaway.
that some day your descendants will be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the seashore. And your descendants will defeat their enemies and capture their cities [SYN].’
18 Pinaagi sa imong kaliwatan mapanalanginan ang tanang kanasoran sa kalibotan, tungod kay mituman ka man sa akong tingog.”
You obeyed me, so by means of your descendants the people of all the nations on the earth will be blessed.”
19 Busa gibalikan ni Abraham ang iyang mga batan-ong lalaki, ug mibiya sila ug nanglakaw padulong sa Beersheba, ug mipuyo siya sa Beersheba.
Then Abraham and Isaac returned to where his servants were waiting, and they went back home together to Beersheba, and Abraham stayed there.
20 Miabot ang higayon human niining mga butanga nga gisuginlan si Abraham, “Si Milca nanganak ug mga anak, ingon man ang imong igsoong lalaki nga si Nahor.”
After these things happened, someone told Abraham, “Your brother Nahor’s wife, Milcah, has also given birth to children. She has eight sons.”
21 Sila mao si Uz ang kamagulangan, si Buz ang iyang igsoon nga lalaki, si Kemuel ang amahan ni Aram,
The oldest son was Uz. The next was Buz. After him was Kemuel, the father of Aram.
22 si Chesed, si Hazo, si Pildash, si Jidlaph, ug si Betuel.
After Kemuel was Kesad, then Hazo, then Pildash, then Jidlaph, then Bethuel,
23 Si Betuel nahimong amahan ni Rebeca. Mao kini ang walo ka anak ni Milca nga gipanganak alang kang Nahor nga igsoong lalaki ni Abraham.
who was the father of Rebekah, [who later became Isaac’s wife]. Those were the eight sons of Milcah, wife of Abraham’s brother, Nahor.
24 Ang iyang kapuyopuyo, nga ginganlan ug Reuma, nanganak usab kang Teba, kang Gaham, kang Tahas, ug kang Maaca.
Nahor also had a (concubine/female slave whom he took as a wife), whose name was Beumah. She gave birth to four sons: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
