Genesis 22
1 After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, Chineke nwara Ebraham. Ọ sịrị ya, “Ebraham.” Ebraham zara sị, “Lekwa m.”
2 He said, “Now take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you 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 Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey; and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. 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 far off.
Nʼụbọchị nke atọ, Ebraham lepụrụ anya hụ ebe ahụ nʼebe dị anya.
5 Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there. We will worship, and come back 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 Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went 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 Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Here is 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 Abraham said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went 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 They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on 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 Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
Mgbe ahụ Ebraham setịpụrụ aka ya, welite mma ka o gbuo nwa ya nwoke.
11 The LORD’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” 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 He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your 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 Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. 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 Abraham called the name of that place “The LORD Will Provide”. As it is said to this day, “On the LORD’s mountain, it will 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 The LORD’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼeluigwe kpọọ Ebraham oku nke ugboro abụọ,
16 and said, “‘I have sworn by myself,’ says the LORD, ‘because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your 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 I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will 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 All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, because you 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. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
Emesịa, Ebraham laghachikwuru ndị na-ejere ya ozi. Ha niile laghachikwara Bịasheba. Ebraham birikwara na Bịasheba.
20 After these things, Abraham was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your 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 firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
Aha ha bụ Uz, onye bụ ọkpara, na Buz nwanne ya, Kemuel bụ (nna Aram),
22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
Kesed, Hazọ, Pildash, Jidlaf na Betuel.”
23 Bethuel became the father of 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 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
Iko ya nwanyị, onye aha ya bụ Reuma, mụkwaara ya ụmụ ndị ikom. Ha bụ Teba, Gaham, Tahash na Maaka.
