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.
It came about after these things that God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” Abraham said, “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.
Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains there, which I will tell you about.”
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 rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, along with Isaac his son. He cut the wood for the burnt offering, then set out on his journey to the place that God had told him about.
4 A hnin thum dongah Abraham loh a mik a huel hatah khohla kah hmuen te a hmuh.
On the third day Abraham looked up and 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.
Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there. We will worship and come again 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.
Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on Isaac his son. He took in his own hand the fire and the knife; and they went both of them 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 spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father,” and he said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “See, here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
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.
Abraham said, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” So they went on, both of them 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.
When they came to the place that God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood on it. Then he bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
10 Te phoeiah a capa te ngawn ham Abraham loh a kut a yueng tih tumcaca a yueh.
Abraham reached out with his hand and took up the knife to kill 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.
Then the angel of Yahweh called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” and he said, “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.
He said, “Do not lay your hand upon the lad, nor do anything to harm him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing that you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
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 looked up and behold, behind him was a ram caught in the bushes by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up as a burnt offering 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.
So Abraham called that place, “Yahweh will provide,” and it is said to this day, “On the mountain of Yahweh it will be provided.”
15 Te phoeiah BOEIPA kah puencawn loh Abraham te vaan lamkah a pabae la a khue tih,
The angel of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time from heaven
16 “Hekah hno na saii vaengah na capa, na oingaih cangloeng te na hloh pawt dongah,
and said—this is Yahweh's declaration—by myself I have sworn that because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
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 surely bless you and I will greatly multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and your descendants will possess the gate 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.
Through your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have 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.
So Abraham returned to his young men, and they departed and went together to Beersheba, and he lived at Beersheba.
20 Tahae kah olka a om phoeiah Abraham taengah,” Na manuca Nakhaw ham Milkah loh ca tongpa,
It came about after these things that Abraham was told, “Milkah has borne children, as well, to your brother Nahor.”
21 A caming la Uz tih a mana Buz neh Aram napa Kemuel khaw,
They were Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 Kesed khaw, Hazo khaw, Pildash khaw, Jidlap neh Bethuel te khaw a sak van ne,” a ti nah uh tih a thui pah.
Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 Te dongah Milkah loh Abraham kah a manuca Nakhaw ham tongpa parhet a sak pah. Rebekah he Bethuel loh a sak.
Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These were the eight children that Milkah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24 Te phoeiah a yula, a ming ah Reumah loh Tebah, Gaham, Tahash neh Maakah a sak pah bal.
His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
