Genesis 22
1 Some time later God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he answered.
Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, Chineke nwara Ebraham. Ọ sịrị ya, “Ebraham.” Ebraham zara sị, “Lekwa m.”
2 “Take your son,” God said, “your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”
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 So Abraham got up early the next morning, saddled his donkey, and took along two of his servants and his son Isaac. He split the wood for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had designated.
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 looked up and saw the place in the distance.
Nʼụbọchị nke atọ, Ebraham lepụrụ anya hụ ebe ahụ nʼebe dị anya.
5 “Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told his servants. “The boy and I will go over there to worship, and then we will return 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 for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. He himself carried the fire and the sacrificial knife, and the two of them walked on 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 Then Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” “Here I am, my son,” he replied. “The fire and the wood are here,” said Isaac, “but where is the lamb for the 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 answered, “God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two walked on 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 When they arrived at the place God had designated, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, atop 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 Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.
Mgbe ahụ Ebraham setịpụrụ aka ya, welite mma ka o gbuo nwa ya nwoke.
11 Just then the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham, Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
Ma mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị si nʼeluigwe kpọọ ya oku sị ya, “Ebraham! Ebraham!” Ebraham zara, “Lekwa m nʼebe a.”
12 “Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him,” said the angel, “for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld 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 Then Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram in a thicket, caught by its horns. So he went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place 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 that place The LORD Will Provide. So to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD 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 And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time,
Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼeluigwe kpọọ Ebraham oku nke ugboro abụọ,
16 saying, “By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld 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 I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gates of their 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 through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, 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 Abraham went back to his servants, and they got up and set out together for Beersheba. And Abraham settled in Beersheba.
Emesịa, Ebraham laghachikwuru ndị na-ejere ya ozi. Ha niile laghachikwara Bịasheba. Ebraham birikwara na Bịasheba.
20 Some time later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has also borne sons 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 the firstborn, his brother Buz, 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 And Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.
Betuel mụrụ Ribeka. Milka mụtaara Nahọ, nwanne Ebraham ụmụ ndị ikom asatọ ndị a.
24 Moreover, Nahor’s concubine, whose name was Reumah, 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.
