< 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.
It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham, Abraham." He said, "Here I am."
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.
He said, "Now take your son, your only one, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of."
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.
Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
4 Ni thumto naah to ahmuen to, Abraham mah kangthla hoiah khet.
On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
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.
Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there, and we will worship, and come back 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 of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went 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.
Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am, my son." He said, "Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a 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 said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they both went 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.
They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, on top of the wood.
10 To pacoengah Abraham mah ban payangh moe, a capa to hum hanah haita to a lak.
Abraham reached out his hand, and took the knife to kill 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.
But an angel of God called to him out of the sky, and said, "Abraham, Abraham." And he said, "Here I am."
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.
He said, "Do not lay your hand on the boy, neither do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only one, 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.
And Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up as a burnt offering instead 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.
Abraham called the name of that place Elohim Yireh. As it is said to this day, "On the mountain, God will provide."
15 Van kami ih Angraeng mah Abraham to van hoiah kawk let bae.
The angel of God called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
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;
and said, "I have sworn by myself," says YHWH, "because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one, from me,
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 indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply your offspring like the stars of the sky, and like the sand which is on the seashore; and your offspring will possess the gate 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 the 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.
So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
20 To tiah hmuennawk oh pacoengah Abraham khaeah, Khenah, nam nawk Nahor ih zu, Milkah loe caa sak mangh;
It happened after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, "Look, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
21 Huz loe calu ah oh, amnawk Buz, Aram ih ampa Kemuel,
Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 Khesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph hoi Bethuel cae to sak, tiah a thuih pae o.
Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."
23 Bethuel mah Rebekah to sak; Milkah mah Abraham amnawk Nahor hanah capa nongpa tazetto a sak pae.
Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24 A zula Reumah mah doeh Tebah, Gaham, Thahash hoi Maakah to sak pae.
His secondary wife, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
