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].
Yeinom nyinaa akyiri, Onyankopɔn sɔɔ Abraham hwɛeɛ. Ɔfrɛɛ Abraham sɛ, “Abraham!” Abraham buaa sɛ, “Me nie!”
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.
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Fa wo ba, wo ba korɔ Isak a wodɔ no no kɔ Moria asase so, na fa no kɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ mmepɔ a ɛwɔ hɔ no mu baako a mɛkyerɛ wo no so.”
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,
Abraham sɔree anɔpatutuutu hyehyɛɛ nʼafunumu. Ɔfaa ne nkoa no mu baanu ne ne ba Isak kaa ne ho. Ɔtwitwaa egya a ɛbɛso ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no bɔ no, ɔsiim kɔɔ baabi a Onyankopɔn kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnkɔ no.
4 on the third day; and Abraam having lifted up his eyes, saw the place afar off.
Ne nnansa so no, Abraham too nʼani hunuu sɛ baabi a ɔrekɔ no wɔ akyirikyiri.
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.
Na Abraham ka kyerɛɛ ne nkoa no sɛ, “Mo ne afunumu no ntwɛn ha, na me ne abarimaa no nkɔ animu kakra, nkɔsom. Sɛ yɛsom wie a, yɛbɛsane aba.”
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.
Abraham faa anyina a wɔde rekɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no de soaa ne ba Isak. Ɛnna ɔno nso faa egya ne sekammoa kuraeɛ. Ɛberɛ a wɔrekɔ no,
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?
Isak frɛɛ nʼagya Abraham sɛ, “Agya!” Ɛnna Abraham buaa sɛ, “Me ba, asɛm bɛn?” Isak bisaa no sɛ, “Egya ne anyina no nie, na odwammaa a yɛde no rekɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no wɔ he?”
8 And Abraam said, God will provide himself a sheep for a whole burnt offering, [my] son. And both having gone together,
Abraham buaa sɛ, “Onyankopɔn no ankasa bɛma yɛn afɔredwan a yɛde rekɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no.” Afei, wɔn baanu no toaa so kɔeɛ.
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.
Wɔbɛduruu baabi a Onyankopɔn kyerɛɛ no no, Abraham sii afɔrebukyia wɔ hɔ, hyehyɛɛ anyina no wɔ so. Ɔkyekyeree ne ba Isak, de no too anyina no so wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
10 And Abraam stretched forth his hand to take the knife to kill his son.
Abraham twee sekammoa no, pagyaa sɛ ɔde rebɛtwa ne ba no mene akum no.
11 And an angel of the Lord called him out of heaven, and said, Abraam, Abraam. And he said, Behold, I [am here].
Ɛhɔ ara na Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ frɛɛ no firi soro sɛ, “Abraham! Abraham!” Ɛnna Abraham gyee so sɛ, “Me nie.”
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.
Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Mfa wo nsa nka abɔfra no. Ɛnyɛ no bɔne biara. Esiane sɛ woamfa wo dɔ ba, wo ba korɔ no ankame me no enti, mahunu sɛ wosuro Onyankopɔn.”
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 maa nʼani so hunuu sɛ nkyɛkyerɛ bi asɔ odwennini bi mmɛn mu wɔ wira no mu hɔ. Abraham kɔkyeree odwennini no de no bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ afɔrebukyia no so, sii ne ba no ananmu.
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.
Abraham too beaeɛ no din sɛ Awurade De Bɛma. Ɛbɛsi ɛnnɛ no wɔka sɛ, “wɔde bɛma wɔ Awurade bepɔ no so.”
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,
Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no frɛɛ Abraham firii soro deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu kaa sɛ,
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.
“Maka me ho ntam sɛ, ɛsiane sɛ woayɛ yei, na woamfa wo ba, wo ba korɔ no ankame me enti,
17 And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have listened to my voice.
hyira na mɛhyira wo na mama wʼase adɔre sɛ ɔsoro nsoromma ne mpoano anwea. Na wʼasefoɔ bɛgye wɔn atamfoɔ nkuropɔn adi so.
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.
Wɔnam wʼasefoɔ so na wɔbɛhyira ewiase amanaman nyinaa, ɛfiri sɛ, woadi mʼasɛm so.”
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,
Afei, Abraham sane kɔɔ nʼasomfoɔ no nkyɛn ne wɔn siim kɔɔ Beer-Seba kɔtenaa hɔ.
20 Uz the firstborn, and Baux his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians, and Chazad, and
Yeinom nyinaa akyiri no, wɔka kyerɛɛ Abraham sɛ, “Milka nso yɛ ɔbaatan a wawo mmammarima ama wo nuabarima Nahor. Wɔn din na ɛdidi so yi:
21 Azav and Phaldes, and Jeldaph, and Bathuel, and Bathuel begot Rebecca;
Us yɛ abakan, Us nuabarima Bus na ɔtɔ so mmienu. Deɛ ɔdi so ne Kemuel, a ɔyɛ Aram agya.
22 these are eight sons, which Melcha bore to Nachor the brother of Abraam.
Wɔn a wɔaka no ne Kesed, Haso, Pildas, Yidlaf ne Betuel.”
23 And his concubine whose name was Rheuma, she also bore Tabec, and Taam, and Tochos, and Mocha.
Saa Betuel yi na ɔwoo Rebeka. Milka ne Abraham nua Nahor na wɔwowoo saa mmammarima baawɔtwe yi.
Nahor ne ne mpena Rehuma nso wowoo mma baanan a wɔn din de, Teba, Gaham, Tahas ne Maaka.
