Chakruok 22
1 Bangʼ kinde moko Nyasaye notemo Ibrahim. Noluonge niya, “Ibrahim!” Eka nodwoke niya, “Eri an ka.”
After these things, God tempted Abraham, and said to him: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am.
2 Eka Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Kaw wuodi, wuodi ma miderma Isaka, kendo mi ihero mondo idhigo e gwengʼ mar Moria. Chiwe kanyo kaka misango miwangʼo pep ewi got moro ma abiro nyisi.”
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 Kinyne gokinyi mangʼich Ibrahim noa malo kendo noiko pundane ne wuoth. Nodhi kod jotijene ariyo kaachiel gi Isaka wuode. Kane osengʼado yien moromo tiyogo e misango miwangʼo pep, nochako wuoth madhi kamane Nyasaye osenyise.
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 E odiechiengʼ mar adek Ibrahim notingʼo wangʼe moneno kanyo gi kuma bor.
And on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place afar off.
5 Nowacho ne jotije niya, “Dongʼuru kae gi punda ka an kod Isaka wadhi kucha. Wadhi lemo kendo eka wabiro duogo iru.”
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 Ibrahim nokawo yien mar misango miwangʼo pep kendo nomiyo Isaka, to en owuon notingʼo mach kod pala ka ji ariyogo ne wuotho.
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 Isaka notingʼo dwonde mopenjo wuon-gi Ibrahim niya, “Wuora?” Ibrahim nodwoke niya, “En angʼo wuoda?” Eka Isaka nopenje niya, “Mach kod yien nikae, to ere nyaim mar misango miwangʼo pep?”
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 Ibrahim nodwoke niya, “Wuoda, Nyasaye owuon ema biro chiwo nyaim mar misango miwangʼo pep.” Bangʼ mano negidhi nyime giwuodhgi kanyakla.
And Abraham said: God will provide himself a victim for an holocaust, my son. So they went on together.
9 Kane gichopo kumane Nyasaye osenyiso Ibrahim, Ibrahim nogero kendo mar misango kanyo kendo nopango yien e wiye motweyo Isaka wuode kendo nopiele ewi kendo mar misango, ewi yien.
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 Eka notero lwete kendo okawo pala mondo oneg-go wuode.
And he put forth his hand and took the sword, to sacrifice his son.
11 To malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye noluonge gie polo niya, “Ibrahim! Ibrahim!” Eka nodwoke niya, “Eri an ka.”
And behold an angel of the Lord from heaven called to him, saying: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am.
12 Malaika nowachone niya, “Kik iket lweti kuom wuodi, kendo kik itimne gimoro amora. Koro asengʼeyo ni iluoro Nyasaye, nikech ok isetama e wuodi ma miderma.”
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 Ibrahim notingʼo wangʼe mopo koneno im komoko gitungene e bungu. Nodhi mokawo im kendo ochiwo kaka misango miwangʼo pep kar wuode.
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 Omiyo Ibrahim nochako kanyo ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Jachiwo kendo nyaka chil kawuono iwacho niya, “E God Jehova Nyasaye ema nochiwe.”
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 Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nochako luongo Ibrahim gie polo,
And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:
16 mi Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon, ni nikech isetimona ma kendo ok isetama e wuodi ma miderma,
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 abiro gwedhi adier kendo anami nyikwayi bed mangʼeny ka sulwe mae polo kendo ka kuoyo manie dho nam. Nyikwayi nokaw mier mag jowasikgi mondo obed margi,
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 kendo ogendini duto manie piny nogwedhi kokalo e kothi, nikech isewinjo wachna.”
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voice.
19 Eka Ibrahim nodok ir jotije, kendo giduto negiwuok ka gidok Bersheba. Kendo Ibrahim nodak Bersheba.
Abraham returned to his young men, and they went to Bersabee together, and he dwelt there.
20 Bangʼ kinde moko, Ibrahim noyudo wach niya, “Milka bende koro osenywolone owadu Nahor yawuowi ma gin:
After these things, it was told Abraham that Melcha also had borne children to Nachor his brother.
21 Uz wuowi makayo, Buz owadgi, Kemuel (wuon Aram),
Hus the firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians,
22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaf kod Bethuel.”
And Cased, and Azau, and Pheldas, and Jedlaph,
23 Bethuel nonywolo Rebeka. Yawuowi aborogo ema Milka nonywolone Nahor owadgi Ibrahim.
And Bathuel, of whom was born Rebecca: These eight did Melcha bear to Nachor Abraham’s brother.
24 Jatichne ma nyako ma nyinge Reuma bende nonywolone yawuowi, ma gin: Teba, Gaham, Tahash kod Maaka.
And his concubine, named Roma, bore Tabee, and Gaham, and Tahas, and Maacha.
