Kamtawngnae 22
1 Hathnukkhu hoi Cathut ni Abraham a tanouk teh Abraham telah a kaw. Ahni ni hi ka o telah atipouh.
And it came to pass after these things, that God, did prove Abraham, —and he said unto him, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
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.
And he said—Take, I pray thee, thy son, thine only one, whom thou lovest, even, Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah and cause him to ascend there as an ascending-sacrifice, on one of the mountains which I shall name unto 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 rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took his two young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the pieces of wood for an ascending-sacrifice, and mounted and went his way unto the place which God had named to him.
4 Apâthum hnin nah a radoung teh ahlanae koehoi a hmu.
It was, on the third day, that Abraham lifted up his eyes, and 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 Abraham said unto his young men—Tarry by yourselves here with the ass, but I and the young man must go yonder, —that we may bow ourselves down and return unto 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.
So Abraham took the pieces of wood for the ascending-sacrifice, and laid them on Isaac his son, and took in his own hand the fire and the knife, and they went on their way, both of them 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.
Then said Isaac unto Abraham his father, then said he; My father! And he said, Behold me, my son, And he said, Behold the fire, and the pieces of wood, —but where is the lamb, for an ascending-sacrifice?
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 for himself the lamb for an ascending-sacrifice, my son! So they went on their way, both of them, 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.
Then came they into the place which God had named to him, and Abraham built there the altar, and laid in order the pieces of wood, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, above the pieces of wood.
10 Hahoi, Abraham ni a capa thei hanelah a kut a pho teh sarai hah a la.
And Abraham put forth his hand, and took the knife, —to slay his son.
11 Hatei BAWIPA kalvantami ni Abraham Abraham telah kalvan hoi a kaw. Ahni ni hai kai hi ka o atipouh.
Then called out unto him the messenger of Yahweh out of the heavens, and said. Abraham, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
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.
Then he said, Do not put forth thy hand unto the young man, neither do to him—anything at all, —for, now, know I that one who reverest God, thou art, when thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, from me.
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.
And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! a ram, behind, caught in a thicket by his horns, and Abraham went, and took the ram, and caused him to ascend as an ascending-sacrifice 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.
So Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh-yireh, —as to which it is still said to-day, In the mountain of Yahweh, will provision be made.
15 Hahoi, BAWIPA e kalvantami ni apâhni lah kalvan hoi Abraham bout a kaw teh,
Then called out the messenger of Yahweh unto Abraham, —a second time out of the heavens;
16 hete hno na sak teh, na capa, na tawn dueng e na pasai hoeh dawkvah, yawhawi na poe roeroe han.
and said, By myself, have I sworn is the oracle of Yahweh, —Because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one,
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.
That I will, richly bless, thee, and, abundantly multiply, thy seed, as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the lip of the sea, —that thy seed may take possession of the gate of his foes:
18 Hahoi, ka lawk na ngâi kecu dawk talai van e tami pueng ni nange catounnaw lahoi yawhawinae a coe awh han.
So shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves in thy seed, —Because thou didst hearken unto 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.
So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they mounted, and went on their way together unto Beer-sheba, —and Abraham dwelt in Beer-sheba.
20 Hathnukkhu, Abraham ni a thai e teh, nange na nawngha Nahor e a yu Milkah ni ca tongpanaw a khe toe.
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, —Behold! Milcah—she also, hath borne sons, to Nahor thy brother:
21 A camin lah Uz, a nawngha Buz hoi Aram na pa Kemuel,
Uz his firstborn and Buz his brother, —and Kemuel, father of Aram—
22 Khesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlap hoi Bethuel.
and Chesed and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, —and Bethuel;
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, Bethuel, hath begotten Rebekah, —These eight, hath Milcah borne to Nahor brother of Abraham.
24 Hathnukkhu Nahor e ado Reumah ni hai Tebah, Gaham, Tahash hoi Maakah bout a khe pouh.
And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also, hath borne Tebah and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
