Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God proved Abraham, and said to him, Abraham. And he said, Here I am.
Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, Chineke nwara Ebraham. Ọ sịrị ya, “Ebraham.” Ebraham zara sị, “Lekwa m.”
2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son, whom thou love, even Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah. And offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
Chineke sịrị, “Duru nwa gị nwoke, naanị otu nwa gị nwoke, Aịzik onye ị hụrụ nʼanya, gaa nʼala Mọrịa. Jiri ya chụọrọ m aja nsure ọkụ nʼelu otu nʼime ugwu dị nʼebe m ga-egosi gị.”
3 And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. And he split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, Ebraham biliri kwadoo ịnyịnya ibu ya. O duuru ndị ikom abụọ na-ejere ya ozi, na nwa ya nwoke Aịzik. O gbutere nkụ ga-ezuru ya ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ, bilie gawa ebe ahụ Chineke gwara ya maka ya.
4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
Nʼụbọchị nke atọ, Ebraham lepụrụ anya hụ ebe ahụ nʼebe dị anya.
5 And Abraham said to his young men, Abide ye here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go yonder, and we will worship, and come again to you.
Ọ gwara ndị na-ejere ya ozi sị, “Nọdụnụ nʼebe a, unu na ịnyịnya ibu anyị, ka mụ na nwokorobịa a gaa nʼebe ahụ. Anyị feecha ofufe, anyị ga-alọghachikwute unu ọzọ.”
6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son. And he took in his hand the fire and the knife. And they went both of them together.
Ebraham boro nwa ya nwoke Aịzik ukwu nkụ ahụ e ji achụ aja nsure ọkụ nʼisi, ma ya onwe ya jidere ọkụ na mma.
7 And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father. And he said, Here I am, my son. And he said, Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
Aịzik gwara nna ya Ebraham sị, “Nna m.” Ebraham zara, “Ehee, nwa m.” Aịzik sịrị, “Ọkụ na nkụ dị nʼebe a, olee nwa atụrụ e ji achụ aja nsure ọkụ?”
8 And Abraham said, God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son. So they went both of them together.
Ebraham zara, “Nwa m, Chineke nʼonwe ya ga-eweta nwa atụrụ e ji achụ aja nsure ọkụ.” Ha abụọ gakwara nʼihu nʼije ha.
9 And they came to the place which God had told him of. And Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.
Mgbe ha ruru ebe ahụ Chineke gwara ya maka ya, Ebraham wuru ebe ịchụ aja nʼebe ahụ, doo nkụ ndị ahụ niile nʼusoro nʼelu ya. O kere nwa ya Aịzik agbụ, tụkwasị ya nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja ahụ, na nʼelu nkụ ndị ahụ.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
Mgbe ahụ Ebraham setịpụrụ aka ya, welite mma ka o gbuo nwa ya nwoke.
11 And the agent of Jehovah called to him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Here I am.
Ma mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị si nʼeluigwe kpọọ ya oku sị ya, “Ebraham! Ebraham!” Ebraham zara, “Lekwa m nʼebe a.”
12 And he said, Do not lay thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything to him. For now I know that thou fear God, since thou have not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me.
Ọ sịrị ya, “Emetụkwala nwokorobịa ahụ aka. Emekwala ya ihe ọbụla. Nʼihi na amatala m ugbu a na ị na-atụ egwu Chineke, ebe ọ bụ na i kwenyere iji nwa gị nwoke, naanị otu nwa nwoke i nwere chụọrọ m aja.”
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
Ebraham leliri anya hụ otu ebule nke eriri ọhịa jidere na mpi ya. Ebraham gara jide ebule ahụ, were ya chụọ aja nsure ọkụ nʼọnọdụ nwa ya nwoke.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh. As it is said to this day, In the mount of Jehovah it shall be provided.
Ya mere, Ebraham kpọrọ ebe ahụ, “Onyenwe anyị ga-arọpụta.” Ya mere ruo taa a na-asị, “Nʼugwu Onyenwe anyị, a ga-arọpụta.”
15 And the agent of Jehovah called to Abraham a second time out of heaven,
Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼeluigwe kpọọ Ebraham oku nke ugboro abụọ,
16 and said, By myself I have sworn, says Jehovah, because thou have done this thing, and have not withheld thy son, thine only son,
sị, “Mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị, ji onwe m na-aṅụ iyi na-ekwupụta sị, ebe ọ bụ na i mere ihe dị otu a, na i kwenyere iji nwa gị nwoke, naanị otu nwoke i nwere chụọrọ m aja,
17 that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore, and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies,
aga m agọzi gị nʼezie, mekwa ka ụmụ ụmụ gị mụbaa nʼọnụọgụgụ dịka kpakpando nke mbara eluigwe na dịka aja dị nʼọnụ mmiri osimiri. Ụmụ ụmụ gị ga-enwetara onwe ha ọnụ ụzọ ama ndị iro ha.
18 and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou have obeyed my voice.
Sitekwa na mkpụrụ gị ka a ga-agọzikwa agbụrụ niile nọ nʼụwa, nʼihi na i rubeere m isi.”
19 So Abraham returned to his young men. And they rose up and went together to Beersheba. And Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
Emesịa, Ebraham laghachikwuru ndị na-ejere ya ozi. Ha niile laghachikwara Bịasheba. Ebraham birikwara na Bịasheba.
20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also has borne sons to thy brother Nahor:
Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, e ziri Ebraham ozi si ya, “Lee, Milka ya onwe ya amụkwaarala nwanne gị nwoke bụ Nahọ, ụmụ ndị ikom.
21 Uz his first born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Aha ha bụ Uz, onye bụ ọkpara, na Buz nwanne ya, Kemuel bụ (nna Aram),
22 and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
Kesed, Hazọ, Pildash, Jidlaf na Betuel.”
23 And Bethuel begot Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
Betuel mụrụ Ribeka. Milka mụtaara Nahọ, nwanne Ebraham ụmụ ndị ikom asatọ ndị a.
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
Iko ya nwanyị, onye aha ya bụ Reuma, mụkwaara ya ụmụ ndị ikom. Ha bụ Teba, Gaham, Tahash na Maaka.
