Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God tried Abraham, and said to him, Abraham! and he said, Here am I.
Na i muri i enei mea ka whakamatau te Atua i a Aperahama, ka mea ki a ia, E Aperahama: ka mea ia, Tenei ahau.
2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son], whom thou lovest, Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah, and there offer him up for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
Na ka mea ia, Kawea atu tau tamaiti, tau huatahi, tau e aroha nei, a Ihaka, a haere ki te whenua o Moria; ka whakaeke i a ia ki reira hei tahunga tinana ki runga ki tetahi o nga maunga e korero ai ahau ki a koe.
3 And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he clave the wood for the burnt-offering, and rose up and went to the place that God had told him of.
Na ka maranga wawe a Aperahama i te ata, a whakanohoia ana e ia tana kaihe, a mauria ana e ia etahi o ana taitamariki hei hoa mona, me Ihaka hoki, me tana tama, a tatangia ana e ia nga wahie mo te tahunga tinana, a whakatika ana, haere ana ki te wahi i korero ai te Atua ki a ia.
4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar.
I te ra tuatoru ka maranga nga kanohi o Aperahama, a ka kite ia i taua wahi i tawhiti.
5 And Abraham said to his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
Na ka mea a Aperahama ki ana taitamariki, E noho korua i konei ki te kaihe; ka haere maua ko te tamaiti nei ki ko, ki te koropiko, ka hoki mai ai ki a korua.
6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt-offering, and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and the knife, and they went both of them together.
Na ka tango a Aperahama i te wahie mo te tahunga tinana, a whakawaha ana e ia ki a Ihaka, ki tana tama; a ka mauria e ia he ahi i tona ringa me tetahi maripi; a haere tahi ana raua.
7 And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father! And he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood; but where is the sheep for a burnt-offering?
Na ka korero a Ihaka ki a Aperahama, ki tona papa, ka mea, E toku matua: ka mea ia, Tenei ahau, e taku tama. A ka mea ia, Nana, ko te ahi me nga wahie: kei hea ia te reme hei tahunga tinana?
8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself with the sheep for a burnt-offering. And they went both of them together.
Ka mea a Aperahama, Kei te Atua te whakaaro, e taku tamaiti, ki tetahi reme mana hei tahunga tinana: na ka haere tahi raua.
9 And they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built the altar there, and piled the wood; and he bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
A ka tae raua ki te wahi i korero ai te Atua ki a ia; a ka hanga e Aperahama tetahi aata ki reira, a whakapapatia ana e ia nga wahie, na ka herea e ia a Ihaka, tana tama, whakatakotoria iho ki te aata, ki runga ki nga wahie.
10 And Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to slaughter his son.
Na ka totoro atu te ringa o Aperahama, ka mau ki te maripi hei patu mo tana tama.
11 And the Angel of Jehovah called to him from the heavens, and said, Abraham, Abraham! And he said, Here am I.
Na ko te karangatanga mai a te anahera a Ihowa ki a ia i runga i te rangi, ka mea, E Aperahama, e Aperahama: ka mea ia, Tenei ahau.
12 And he said, Stretch not out thy hand against the lad, neither do anything to him; for now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son], from me.
Na ka mea ia, Kaua e totoro tou ringa ki te tamaiti, kaua ano hoki tetahi mea e meatia ki a ia: katahi hoki ahau ka matau e wehi ana koe i te Atua, i a koe kihai nei i kaiponu i tau tamaiti, i tau huatahi, i ahau.
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, behind was a ram caught in the thicket by its horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt-offering instead of his son.
A ka maranga ake nga kanohi o Aperahama, na ka kite ia ko tetahi hipi toa i muri i a ia, e mau ana ona haona i roto i te puia rakau: na ka haere a Aperahama, ka hopu i te hipi ra, a whakaekea ana e ia hei tahunga tinana, hei whakarite mo tana ta ma.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh; as it is said at the present day, On the mount of Jehovah will be provided.
Na ka huaina e Aperahama te ingoa o taua wahi ko Ihowatire: e korerotia nei inaianei, Kei te maunga o Ihowa te kitea ia.
15 And the Angel of Jehovah called to Abraham from the heavens a second time,
Na ka karanga ano te anahera a Ihowa ki a Aperahama i te rangi,
16 and said, By myself I swear, saith Jehovah, that, because thou hast done this, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son],
Ka mea, Kua waiho e ahau ko ahau ano hei oati, e ai ta Ihowa, mou i mea i tenei mea, mou ano hoki kihai i kaiponu i tau tama, i tau huatahi:
17 I will richly bless thee, and greatly multiply thy seed, as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is on the sea-shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
Na, ka manaakitia rawatia koe e ahau, a ka whakanuia rawatia e ahau ou uri kia pera me nga whetu o te rangi, me te onepu hoki i te tahatika o te moana; a ka riro i ou uri te kuwaha o ona hoariri;
18 and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because thou hast hearkened to my voice.
Ma tou uri ano hoki ka manaakitia ai nga iwi katoa o te whenua; mou i whakarongo ki toku reo.
19 And Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba. And Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
Na ka hoki a Aperahama ki ana taitamariki, a whakatika ana ratou, haere tahi ana ki Peerehepa; a ka noho a Aperahama ki Peerehepa.
20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also has borne sons to thy brother Nahor:
Na i muri i enei mea ka korerotia ki a Aperahama, ka meatia, Nana, kua whanau tamariki ano a Mireka raua ko Nahora, ko tou teina;
21 Uz his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Ko Hutu, ko tana matamua, raua ko Putu, ko tona teina, me Kemuera hoki, matua o Arame,
22 and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
Ratou ko Kehere, ko Hato, ko Piretata, ko Irirapa, ko Petuere.
23 (And Bethuel begot Rebecca.) These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
A whanau ake ta Petuere ko Ripeka: ko enei tokowaru te whanau a Mireka raua ko Nahora, teina o Aperahama.
24 And his concubine, named Reumah, she also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maacah.
A ko tana wahine iti, tona ingoa nei ko Reuma, i whanau ano ana, ko Tepa ratou ko Kahama, ko Tahaha, ko Maaka.
