Genesis 22
1 After these things occurred, God tested Abraham, and he said to him, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
Na sima na makambo wana, Nzambe amekaki Abrayami. Alobaki na ye: — Abrayami! Abrayami azongisaki: — Ngai oyo.
2 He said to him: “Take your only begotten son Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of vision. And there you shall offer him as a holocaust upon one of the mountains, which I will show to you.”
Nzambe alobaki na ye: — Zwa Izaki, mwana na yo ya mobali, mwana na yo se moko oyo olingaka; kende na mokili ya Morija, mpe kuna, okopesa Ngai ye lokola mbeka ya kotumba na likolo ya ngomba oyo nakolakisa yo.
3 And so Abraham, getting up in the night, harnessed his donkey, taking with him two youths, and his son Isaac. And when he had cut wood for the holocaust, he traveled toward the place, as God had instructed him.
Na tongo-tongo, Abrayami atelemaki mpe abongisaki ane na ye. Azwaki basali mibale kati na basali na ye, azwaki mpe Izaki, mwana na ye. Abukaki bakoni mpo na kotumba mbeka, atelemaki mpe akendeki na esika oyo Nzambe ayebisaki ye.
4 Then, on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place at a distance.
Na mokolo ya misato, Abrayami atombolaki miso na ye mpe amonaki esika yango na mosika.
5 And he said to his servants: “Wait here with the donkey. I and the boy will hurry further ahead to that place. After we have worshipped, will return to you.”
Bongo Abrayami ayebisaki basali na ye: « Botikala awa elongo na ane, wana ngai elongo na mwana tozali kokende kino kuna na likolo mpo na kogumbamela Nzambe; sima na yango, tokozongela bino. »
6 He also took the wood for the holocaust, and he imposed it upon his son Isaac. And he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as the two continued on together,
Abrayami azwaki bakoni ya kotumbela mbeka mpe amemisaki yango Izaki, mwana na ye; mpe ye moko amemaki moto mpe mbeli, bongo bango mibale bakendeki nzela moko.
7 Isaac said to his father, “My father.” And he answered, “What do you want, son?” “Behold,” he said, “fire and wood. Where is the victim for the holocaust?”
Izaki atunaki Abrayami, tata na ye: — Tata na ngai! Abrayami azongisaki: — Ngai oyo! Izaki alobaki: — Tozali na moto mpe koni, kasi wapi mpate mpo na mbeka ya kotumba?
8 But Abraham said, “God himself will provide the victim for the holocaust, my son.” Thus they continued on together.
Abrayami azongisaki: — Mwana na ngai, Ye moko Nzambe akopesa mpate mpo na mbeka ya kotumba. Boye bango mibale bakendeki nzela moko.
9 And they came to the place that God had shown to him. There he built an altar, and he set the wood in order upon it. And when he had bound his son Isaac, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood.
Tango bakomaki na esika oyo Nzambe alakisaki ye, Abrayami atongaki etumbelo na esika yango mpe abongisaki bakoni na likolo na yango. Akangaki Izaki, mwana na ye ya mobali, basinga mpe alalisaki ye na etumbelo likolo ya bakoni.
10 And he reached out his hand and took hold of the sword, in order to sacrifice his son.
Boye Abrayami azwaki mbeli mpe asembolaki loboko na ye mpo na koboma mwana na ye ya mobali.
11 And behold, an Angel of the Lord called out from heaven, saying, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
Kasi anjelu ya Yawe abengaki ye wuta na likolo: — Abrayami! Abrayami! Abrayami azongisaki: — Ngai oyo.
12 And he said to him, “Do not extend your hand over the boy, and do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, since you have not spared your only begotten son for my sake.”
Anjelu alobaki: — Kosembola loboko na yo te likolo ya mwana, kosala ye mabe te. Nasosoli sik’oyo ete otosaka Nzambe, pamba te oboyi te kopesa Ngai mwana na yo ya mobali, mwana na yo se moko.
13 Abraham lifted up his eyes, and he saw behind his back a ram among the thorns, caught by the horns, which he took and offered as a holocaust, instead of his son.
Abrayami atombolaki miso na ye mpe amonaki meme ya mobali oyo maseke na yango ezalaki ya kokangama na nzete ya moke. Azwaki yango mpe apesaki yango mbeka ya kotumba na esika ya mwana na ye ya mobali.
14 And he called the name of that place: ‘The Lord Sees.’ Thus, even to this day, it is said: ‘On the mountain, the Lord will see.’
Abrayami abengaki esika yango « Nkolo akopesa. » Yango wana balobaka kino lelo: « Na likolo ya ngomba ya Yawe, ekopesama. »
15 Then the Angel of the Lord called out to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:
Anjelu ya Yawe abengaki Abrayami na mbala ya mibale wuta na likolo
16 “By my own self, I have sworn, says the Lord. Because you have done this thing, and have not spared your only begotten son for my sake,
mpe alobaki: « Nakati seleka na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Yawe, ete lokola osali likambo ya boye, lokola oboyi te kopesa Ngai mwana na yo ya mobali, mwana na yo se moko,
17 I will bless you, and I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gates of their enemies.
nakopambola yo solo mpe nakokomisa bakitani na yo ebele lokola minzoto ya likolo, mpe ebele lokola zelo ya ebale. Bakitani na yo bakokamata bingumba ya banguna na bango.
18 And in your offspring, all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you obeyed my voice.”
Bato ya bikolo nyonso ya mabele bakomipambola mpo na bakitani na yo, pamba te otosi Ngai. »
19 Abraham returned to his servants, and they went to Beersheba together, and he lived there.
Abrayami azongaki epai ya basali na ye mpe bakendeki elongo na Beri-Sheba epai wapi akobaki kovanda.
20 After these things occurred, it was reported to Abraham that Milcah, likewise, had borne sons for his brother Nahor:
Sima na makambo wana, bayebisaki Abrayami ete Milika mpe abotelaki Naori, ndeko ya Abrayami, bana:
21 Uz, the firstborn, and Buz, his brother, and Kemuel, the father of the Syrians,
Mwana na ye ya liboso, Utsi; Buzi, ndeko na ye mobali; Kemweli, tata ya Arami;
22 and Chesed, and Hazo, likewise Pildash, and Jidlaph,
Kesedi, Azo, Pilidashi, Yidilafi mpe Betweli.
23 as well as Bethuel, of whom was born Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore for Nahor, the brother of Abraham.
Betweli azalaki tata ya Rebeka. Milika abotelaki Naori, ndeko mobali ya Abrayami, bana mibali mwambe.
24 In truth, his concubine, named Reumah, bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
Makangu ya Naori, oyo kombo na ye ezalaki Reuma, ye mpe abotelaki Naori bana: Teba, Gami, Taashi mpe Maaka.
