Suencuek 22
1 Hekah olka a om phoeiah Pathen loh Abraham te a noemcai tih, “Abraham,” a ti nah hatah “Kai ni he ue,” a ti nah.
After these things, God tempted Abraham, and said to him: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am.
2 Te phoeiah, “Tahae ah na capa, na oingaih cangloeng, na lungnah Isaak te khuen lamtah Moriah khohmuen la namah cet laeh. Te phoeiah nang taengah ka thui bangla, tlang pakhat ah hmueihhlutnah la anih te pahoi nawn,” a ti nah.
He said to him: Take thy only begotten son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and go into the land of vision: and there thou shalt offer him for an holocaust upon one of the mountains which I will show thee.
3 Te dongah Abraham te mincang ah thoo tih laak te a khih. Amah taengkah cadong panit neh a capa Isaak te a khuen tih hmueihhlutnah thing te a aeh. Te phoeiah thoo tih Pathen loh anih taengah a thuinuet nah hmuen la cet.
So Abraham rising up in the night, saddled his ass: and took with him two young men, and Isaac his son: and when he had cut wood for the holocaust he went his way to the place which God had commanded him.
4 A hnin thum dongah Abraham loh a mik a huel hatah khohla kah hmuen te a hmuh.
And on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place afar off.
5 Te dongah Abraham loh cadong rhoi taengah, “Hiah laak neh namah poekah ana om uh dae. Kai neh camoe he kela ka cet rhoi vetih tho ka thueng rhoi phoeiah nangmih taengla ka bal rhoi ni,” a ti nah.
And he said to his young men: Stay you here with the ass: I and the boy will go with speed as far as yonder, and after we have worshipped, will return to you.
6 Te vaengah Abraham loh hmueihhlutnah thing te a loh tih a capa Isaak a koh sak. Te phoeiah a kut dongah hmai neh tumcaca a khuen tih amamih rhoi te hmaih cet rhoi.
And he took the wood for the holocaust, and laid it upon Isaac his son: and he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as they two went on together,
7 Te vaengah Isaak loh a napa Abraham te a voek tih, “A pa,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Ka ca kai ka om he,” a ti nah hatah, hmai neh thing om dae hmueihhlutnah ham tu ta he,” a ti nah.
Isaac said to his father: My father. And he answered: What wilt thou, son? Behold, saith he, fire and wood: where is the victim for the holocaust?
8 Tedae Abraham loh, “Ka ca hmueihhlutnah ham tu te Pathen amah loh a hmuh bitni,” a ti nah tih amamih rhoi tah hmaih cet rhoi.
And Abraham said: God will provide himself a victim for an holocaust, my son. So they went on together.
9 Te phoeiah Pathen loh anih taengah a uen nah hmuen te a pha rhoi. Te dongah Abraham loh hmueihtuk pahoi a suem tih thing a hong thil phoeiah a capa Isaak te a pin tih hmueihtuk sokah thing so ah a tloeng.
And they came to the place which God had shown him, where he built an altar, and laid the wood in order upon it: and when he had bound Isaac his son, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood.
10 Te phoeiah a capa te ngawn ham Abraham loh a kut a yueng tih tumcaca a yueh.
And he put forth his hand and took the sword, to sacrifice his son.
11 Tedae vaan lamkah BOEIPA puencawn loh anih te a khue tih, “Abraham, Abraham,” a ti nah vaengah “Kai ni he,” a ti nah.
And behold an angel of the Lord from heaven called to him, saying: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am.
12 Te vaengah, “Kai taeng lamkah na capa na oingaih cangloeng te na hloh pawt dongah na Pathen na rhih tila ka ming coeng. Te dongah camoe soah na kut hlah boel lamtah anih taengah ba khaw saii boeh,” a ti nah.
And he said to him: Lay not thy hand upon the boy, neither do thou any thing to him: now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake.
13 Te dongah Abraham loh a mik a huel hatah a hnukkah kocak khuiah tutal a ki aka man te lawt a hmuh. Te dongah Abraham khaw cet tih tutal te a loh phoeiah a capa yueng ah hmueihhlutnah la a nawn.
Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw behind his back a ram amongst the briers sticking fast by the horns, which he took and offered for a holocaust instead of his son.
14 Te dongah Abraham loh a hmuen ming te, “BOEIPA phoe,” tila a sui. “Tihnin ah BOEIPA loh tlang ah a phoe sak bitni,” a ti rhoe pai.
And he called the name of that place, The Lord seeth. Whereupon even to this day it is said: In the mountain the Lord will see.
15 Te phoeiah BOEIPA kah puencawn loh Abraham te vaan lamkah a pabae la a khue tih,
And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:
16 “Hekah hno na saii vaengah na capa, na oingaih cangloeng te na hloh pawt dongah,
By my own self have I sworn, saith the Lord: because thou hast done this thing, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake:
17 nang yoethen khuikah yoethen rhep kan paek tih na tiingan te vaan kah aisi neh tuitunli palang laivin bangla ka pungtai rhoe ka pungtai sak ni. Te vaengah na tiingan loh a thunkha vongka te a pang ni.
I will bless thee, and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is by the sea shore: thy seed shall possess the gates of their enemies.
18 Te phoeiah kai ol te na ngai dongah nang kah tiingan rhang neh diklai namtom boeih loh a yoethen uh ni tila BOEIPA olphong neh kamah loh ka toemngam coeng,” a ti nah.
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voice.
19 Tedae cadong rhoi taengla Abraham a bal phoeikah aka thoo uh te Beersheba la tun a pawk uh dongah Abraham loh Beersheba ah kho a sak.
Abraham returned to his young men, and they went to Bersabee together, and he dwelt there.
20 Tahae kah olka a om phoeiah Abraham taengah,” Na manuca Nakhaw ham Milkah loh ca tongpa,
After these things, it was told Abraham that Melcha also had borne children to Nachor his brother.
21 A caming la Uz tih a mana Buz neh Aram napa Kemuel khaw,
Hus the firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians,
22 Kesed khaw, Hazo khaw, Pildash khaw, Jidlap neh Bethuel te khaw a sak van ne,” a ti nah uh tih a thui pah.
And Cased, and Azau, and Pheldas, and Jedlaph,
23 Te dongah Milkah loh Abraham kah a manuca Nakhaw ham tongpa parhet a sak pah. Rebekah he Bethuel loh a sak.
And Bathuel, of whom was born Rebecca: These eight did Melcha bear to Nachor Abraham’s brother.
24 Te phoeiah a yula, a ming ah Reumah loh Tebah, Gaham, Tahash neh Maakah a sak pah bal.
And his concubine, named Roma, bore Tabee, and Gaham, and Tahas, and Maacha.
