Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things that God tempted Abraam, and said to him, Abraam, Abraam; and he said, Behold! I [am here].
Ikawa kwamba baada ya mambo hayo Mungu akampima Abraham. Akamwambia, “Abraham!” Abraham akasema, “Mimi hapa.”
2 And he said, Take your son, the beloved one, whom you have loved—Isaac, and go into the high land, and offer him there for a whole burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.
Kisha Mungu akasema, “Mchukue mwanao, mwanao wa pekee, umpendaye, Isaka, na uende katika nchi ya Moria. Mtoe kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa mahali pale juu ya moja ya milima hiyo, ambayo nitakwambia.”
3 And Abraam rose up in the morning and saddled his ass, and he took with him two servants, and Isaac his son, and having split wood for a whole burnt offering, he arose and departed, and came to the place of which God spoke to him,
Kwa hiyo Abraham akaamka asubuhi na mapema, akatandika punda wake, akawachukuwa vijana wake wawili, pamoja na Isaka mwanawe. Akakata kuni kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa, kisha akapanga safari kwenda mahali ambapo Mungu alimwambia.
4 on the third day; and Abraam having lifted up his eyes, saw the place afar off.
Siku ya tatu Abraham akatazama juu na akaona mahali pakiwa mbali.
5 And Abraam said to his servants, Sit you here with the ass, and I and the lad will proceed thus far, and having worshipped we will return to you.
Abraham akawambia vijana wake, “kaeni hapa pamoja na punda, mimi pamoja na Isaka tutakwenda pale. Tutaabudu na kisha tutarudi hapa penu.”
6 And Abraam took the wood of the whole burnt offering, and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took into his hands both the fire and the knife, and the two went together.
Ndipo Abraham akachukua kuni kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa akaziweka juu ya Isaka mwanawe. Mkononi mwake akachukua moto na kisu; na wote wawili wakaondoka pamoja.
7 And Isaac said to Abraam his father, Father. And he said, What is it, son? And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, where is the sheep for a whole burnt offering?
Isaka akazungumza na Abraham baba yake akisema, “Baba yangu,” naye akasema, “Ndiyo mwanangu.” Akasema, “Tazama huu ni moto na kuni, lakini yuko wapi mwanakondoo kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa?”
8 And Abraam said, God will provide himself a sheep for a whole burnt offering, [my] son. And both having gone together,
Abraham akasema, “Mungu mwenyewe atatupatia mwanakondoo kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa, mwanangu.” Kwa hiyo wakaendelea, wote wawili pamoja.
9 came to the place which God spoke of to him; and there Abraam built the altar, and laid the wood on it, and having bound the feet of Isaac his son together, he laid him on the altar upon the wood.
Walipofika mahali ambapo Mungu alikuwa amemwambia, Abraham akajenga madhabahu pale na akaweka kuni juu yake. Kisha akamfunga Isaka mwanawe, na akamlaza juu ya madhabahu, juu ya zile kuni.
10 And Abraam stretched forth his hand to take the knife to kill his son.
Abraham akanyoosha mkono wake akachukua kisu ili kumuua mwanawe.
11 And an angel of the Lord called him out of heaven, and said, Abraam, Abraam. And he said, Behold, I [am here].
Ndipo malaika wa Yahwe akamwita kutoka mbinguni na kusema, “Abraham, Abraham!” naye akasema, “Mimi hapa.”
12 And he said, Lay not your hand upon the child, neither do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, and for my sake you have not spared your beloved son.
Akasema, “usinyooshe mkono wako juu ya kijana, wala usifanye jambo lolote kumdhuru, kwa kuwa sasa najua unamcha Mungu, kwa kuona kuwa hukumzuilia mwanao, mwanao wa pekee, kwa ajili yangu.”
13 And Abraam lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold! a ram caught by his horns in a plant of Sabec; and Abraam went and took the ram, and offered him up for a whole burnt offering in the place of Isaac his son.
Abraham akatazama juu na tazama, nyuma yake kulikuwa na kondoo mume amenaswa pembe zake kichakani. Abraham akaenda akamchukua kondoo na akamtoa kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa badala ya mwanawe.
14 And Abraam called the name of that place, The Lord has seen; that they might say today, In the mount the Lord was seen.
Kwa hiyo Abraham akapaita mahali pale, Yahwe atatoa,” na panaitwa hivyo hata leo. “Juu ya mlima wa Yahwe itatolewa.”
15 And an angel of the Lord called Abraam the second time out of heaven, saying, I have sworn by myself, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and on my account have not spared your beloved son,
Malaika wa Yahwe akamwita Abraham kwa mara ya pili kutoka mbinguni
16 surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is by the shore of the sea, and your seed shall inherit the cities of their enemies.
na kusema - Hiki ni kiapo cha Yahwe, “Kwa ajili ya nafsi yangu nimeapa kwamba kwa kuwa umefanya jambo hili, na hukunizuilia mwanao, mwanao wa pekee,
17 And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have listened to my voice.
hakika nitakubariki na nitakuzidishia uzao wako kama nyota za angani, na kama mchanga ulioko kwenye ufukwe wa bahari; na uzao wakowatamiliki lango la adui zao.
18 And Abraam returned to his servants, and they arose and went together to the well of the oath; and Abraam lived at the well of the oath.
Kupitia uzao wako mataifa yote ya dunia watabarikiwa, kwa sababu umetii sauti yangu.”
19 And it came to pass after these things, that it was reported to Abraam, saying, Behold, Melcha herself too has born sons to Nachor your brother,
Kwa hiyo Abraham akarejea kwa vijana wake, na wakaondoka wakaenda pamoja Beerisheba, hivyo akakaa Beerisheba.
20 Uz the firstborn, and Baux his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians, and Chazad, and
Ikawa kwamba baada ya mambo haya ambayo Abraham aliambiwa, “Milka amemzalia pia watoto, ndugu yako Nahori.”
21 Azav and Phaldes, and Jeldaph, and Bathuel, and Bathuel begot Rebecca;
Hawa walikuwa ni Usi mzaliwa wa kwanza, Busi ndugu yake, Kemueli aliye mzaa Aramu,
22 these are eight sons, which Melcha bore to Nachor the brother of Abraam.
Kesedi, Hazo, Pildashi, Yidlafu, na Bethueli.
23 And his concubine whose name was Rheuma, she also bore Tabec, and Taam, and Tochos, and Mocha.
Bethuel akamzaa Rebeka. Hawa walikuwa ni wale watoto wanane ambao Milka alizaa kwa Nahori, ndugu yake na Abraham.
Suria wake, ambaye aliitwa Reuma, pia akamzaa Teba, Gahamu, Tahashi, na Maaka.
