Kamtawngnae 22
1 Hathnukkhu hoi Cathut ni Abraham a tanouk teh Abraham telah a kaw. Ahni ni hi ka o telah atipouh.
After these things, God tempted Abraham, and said to him: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am.
2 Ahni ni, na capa, na capa tawn dueng, na lungpataw poung e, Isak roeroe hah cetkhai nateh, Moriah ram lah cet, kai ni na patue e mon dawk thuengnae na sak han telah atipouh.
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 Abraham ni, amom a thaw teh, la dawk hnopainaw aphu sak hnukkhu a capa Isak hoi thoundoun kahni touh a kaw. Hmaisawi thueng nahane thing a racei hnukkhu, Cathut ni a dei e hmuen koe lah a cei.
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 Apâthum hnin nah a radoung teh ahlanae koehoi a hmu.
And on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place afar off.
5 Abraham ni thoundoun roi koe, hivah la hoi la awm roi. Kai hoi camo teh hote hmuen koe ka cei roi vaiteh bawknae ka sak roi han. Ka cum roi hnukkhu nangmouh roi koe bout ka ban roi han telah atipouh.
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 Hahoi Abraham ni hmaisawi thueng nahane thing hah a capa Isak a hrawm sak teh, ama ni hmaibo hoi sarai hah a sin teh, cungtalah a cei roi.
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 Hatei, Isak ni a na pa Abraham a pato teh, Apa atipouh navah, A na pa ni ka ca kai hi ka o atipouh. Ahni ni khenhaw! hmai hoi thing teh ao toe, hatei, hmaisawi thueng nahane tuca teh na maw telah atipouh.
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 Abraham ni, ka capa Cathut ni ama hanelah hmaisawi thueng nahane tuca teh a rakueng han doeh atipouh. Hathnukkhu ahnimouh roi teh cungtalah a cei roi.
And Abraham said: God will provide himself a victim for an holocaust, my son. So they went on together.
9 Cathut ni a dei pouh e hmuen koe a pha roi. Abraham ni hote hmuen koe khoungroe a sak teh, thingnaw hah kahawicalah a hruek, a capa Isak hah a katek hnukkhu, khoungroe dawk e thing van a payan.
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 Hahoi, Abraham ni a capa thei hanelah a kut a pho teh sarai hah a la.
And he put forth his hand and took the sword, to sacrifice his son.
11 Hatei BAWIPA kalvantami ni Abraham Abraham telah kalvan hoi a kaw. Ahni ni hai kai hi ka o atipouh.
And behold an angel of the Lord from heaven called to him, saying: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am.
12 Ahni ni camo e tak dawk na kut tha hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut na taki e atu ka panue toe. Na capa, na tawn dueng e ka hei teh nang ni na kangek hoeh telah atipouh.
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 Hahoi Abraham ni a moung teh a khet navah, amae a hnuklah tutan buruk dawk a ki ka mang e hah a hmu. Abraham ni a cei teh hote tu hah a la hnukkhu, hmaisawi thuengnae a sak.
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 Hatdawkvah, Abraham ni hote hmuen teh, BAWIPA ni kho a khan han (Jehovah-Jireh) telah min a poe. BAWIPA e mon dawk BAWIPA ni na rakueng pouh telah atu totouh ati awh.
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 Hahoi, BAWIPA e kalvantami ni apâhni lah kalvan hoi Abraham bout a kaw teh,
And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:
16 hete hno na sak teh, na capa, na tawn dueng e na pasai hoeh dawkvah, yawhawi na poe roeroe han.
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 Kalvan e âsi hoi tui teng e sadi yit touh. Na catounnaw ka pungdaw sak roeroe han. Na catounnaw ni na tarannaw e longkha a coe awh han.
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 Hahoi, ka lawk na ngâi kecu dawk talai van e tami pueng ni nange catounnaw lahoi yawhawinae a coe awh han.
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voice.
19 Hathnukkhu thoundoun roi aonae koe lah Abraham, bout a ban teh, ahnimanaw hoi cungtalah a kamthaw awh teh, Beersheba lah a cei awh. Abraham teh Beersheba vah kho tawngtang a sak.
Abraham returned to his young men, and they went to Bersabee together, and he dwelt there.
20 Hathnukkhu, Abraham ni a thai e teh, nange na nawngha Nahor e a yu Milkah ni ca tongpanaw a khe toe.
After these things, it was told Abraham that Melcha also had borne children to Nachor his brother.
21 A camin lah Uz, a nawngha Buz hoi Aram na pa Kemuel,
Hus the firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians,
22 Khesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlap hoi Bethuel.
And Cased, and Azau, and Pheldas, and Jedlaph,
23 Bethuel ni Rebekah a khe. Hete taroe touh e naw teh Milkah ni Abraham e a nawngha Nahor hanelah, a khe pouh e naw doeh.
And Bathuel, of whom was born Rebecca: These eight did Melcha bear to Nachor Abraham’s brother.
24 Hathnukkhu Nahor e ado Reumah ni hai Tebah, Gaham, Tahash hoi Maakah bout a khe pouh.
And his concubine, named Roma, bore Tabee, and Gaham, and Tahas, and Maacha.
