Genesis 22
1 To tiah hmuen oh pacoengah, Sithaw mah Abraham to tanoek, anih khaeah, Abraham tiah kawk; to naah anih mah, Khenah, hae ah ka oh, tiah a naa.
Some time later God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he answered.
2 To pacoengah Sithaw mah, Na palung duek moe, maeto khue na tawnh ih na capa, Issak to hoi ah loe, Moriah prae ah caeh haih ah; kang patuek han ih mae ah kai khaeah nang tathlang hanah hmai angbawnhaih sah ah, tiah a naa.
“Take your son,” God said, “your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”
3 Abraham loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk moe, laa hrang nuiah hmuenmae to a thuengh; a capa Issak hoi nawnto thendoeng hnetto a kawk moe, hmai angbawnhaih sak hanah, thing aek pacoengah, Sithaw mah thuih ih mae nuiah a caeh.
So Abraham got up early the next morning, saddled his donkey, and took along two of his servants and his son Isaac. He split the wood for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had designated.
4 Ni thumto naah to ahmuen to, Abraham mah kangthla hoiah khet.
On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.
5 Abraham mah thendoeng hnik khaeah, Nang hnik loe haeah laa hrang to toep hoih; kai loe ka caa hoi nawnto ka caeh moe, Sithaw ka bok hoi pacoengah, nang hnik khaeah kang zoh let han, tiah a naa.
“Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told his servants. “The boy and I will go over there to worship, and then we will return to you.”
6 Abraham loe hmai angbawnhaih sak hanah thing to cop moe, a capa Issak to aputsak; hmai hoi haita to a ban ah sinh moe, nawnto a caeh hoi.
Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. He himself carried the fire and the sacrificial knife, and the two of them walked on together.
7 Issak mah ampa Abraham khaeah, Kam pa, tiah kawk. Abraham mah, Ka capa, haeah ka oh, tiah a naa. Issak mah, Hmai hoi thing loe a sin hoi boeh, toe hmai angbawnhaih sak hanah tuu caa loe naa ah maw oh? tiah a naa.
Then Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” “Here I am, my son,” he replied. “The fire and the wood are here,” said Isaac, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8 Abraham mah, Ka capa, Hmai angbawnhaih sak hanah Sithaw angmah to tuu caa ah angpaek tih hmang, tiah a naa. To pacoengah nawnto caeh hoi poe.
Abraham answered, “God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two walked on together.
9 Sithaw mah thuih ih mae to phak hoi naah, Abraham mah to ahmuen ah hmaicam to sak, a nuiah thing to pahong moe, a capa Issak to qui hoi taoengh pacoengah, hmaicam nui ih thing nuiah pasongh.
When they arrived at the place God had designated, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, atop the wood.
10 To pacoengah Abraham mah ban payangh moe, a capa to hum hanah haita to a lak.
Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.
11 To naah van bang hoiah Angraeng ih van kami mah anih to, Abraham! Abraham! tiah kawk. Anih mah, Haeah ka oh, tiah a naa.
Just then the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham, Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
12 Anih mah, Nawkta nuiah na ban phok hmah; anih nuiah tidoeh sah hmah; maeto khue na tawn ih na capa mataeng doeh paawthaih na tawn ai pongah, Sithaw na zit, tito ka panoek boeh, tiah a naa.
“Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him,” said the angel, “for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from me.”
13 Abraham mah khet moe, doeng tahang naah, khenah, phroh kapring thungah takii kaman caeng, tuu tae to a hnuk; Abraham loe caeh moe, tuu tae to lak pacoengah, a capa zuengah hmai angbawnhaih to a sak.
Then Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram in a thicket, caught by its horns. So he went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
14 To pongah Abraham mah to ahmuen to, Jehovah-jireh, tiah kawk; vaihni ni khoek to, Angraeng ih mae nuiah loe Angraeng mah na paek tih, tiah a thuih o.
And Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. So to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”
15 Van kami ih Angraeng mah Abraham to van hoiah kawk let bae.
And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time,
16 Nang loe maeto khue na tawnh ih na capa mataeng doeh paawthaih na tawn ai pongah, kaimah hoi kaimah lokkamhaih ka sak boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih;
saying, “By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your only son,
17 tahamhoihaih kang paek moe, na caanawk to van ih cakaeh hoi tuipui taeng ih savuet zetto kang pungsak han; na caanawk mah misa ih vangpui khongkha to toep o tih;
I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gates of their enemies.
18 ka lok na tahngaih pongah, na caanawk rang hoiah long nui ih kaminawk boih tahamhoihaih hnu o tih, tiah a naa.
And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
19 To pacoengah Abraham loe angmah ih thendoeng hnik khaeah amlaem let; nihcae loe amsak o moe, Beersheba ah caeh o; Abraham loe Beersheba ah khosak.
Abraham went back to his servants, and they got up and set out together for Beersheba. And Abraham settled in Beersheba.
20 To tiah hmuennawk oh pacoengah Abraham khaeah, Khenah, nam nawk Nahor ih zu, Milkah loe caa sak mangh;
Some time later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has also borne sons to your brother Nahor:
21 Huz loe calu ah oh, amnawk Buz, Aram ih ampa Kemuel,
Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram),
22 Khesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph hoi Bethuel cae to sak, tiah a thuih pae o.
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23 Bethuel mah Rebekah to sak; Milkah mah Abraham amnawk Nahor hanah capa nongpa tazetto a sak pae.
And Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.
24 A zula Reumah mah doeh Tebah, Gaham, Thahash hoi Maakah to sak pae.
Moreover, Nahor’s concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
