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.
Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe hoko ʻae ʻahiʻahi mei he ʻOtua kia ʻEpalahame ʻo ne pehē, ʻEpalahame: pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai ko au [eni].
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.
Pea ne pehē, “Ko eni ke ke ʻave ho foha, ho foha pe taha ko ʻAisake, ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻofa ki ai, pea ke ʻalu ki he fonua ko Molia: ʻo feilaulau ʻaki ia ʻi ai, ko e feilaulau tutu, ʻi he moʻunga ʻe taha ʻaia te u fakahā kiate 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.
Pea tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻo ne ai hono hekaʻanga ki he ʻasi, pea ʻave mo ia ʻae talavou ʻe toko ua, pea mo ʻAisake ko hono foha, pea naʻa ne tā ʻae fefie ki he feilaulau tutu, pea nau tutuʻu hake ʻo fononga ki he potu naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia.
4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar.
Pea hanga hake ʻa ʻEpalahame hono mata ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, pea mamata ia ki he potu mei he mamaʻo.
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.
Pea pehē ʻe ʻEpalahame ki heʻene ongo talavou, “Mo nofo ʻi heni mo e ʻasi: pea te ma ō mo e tama ki hena ʻo lotu, pea toe haʻu kiate kimoua.”
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.
Pea toʻo mai ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae fefie ki he feilaulau tutu, ke fua ia ʻe hono foha ko ʻAisake; pea ne toʻo ʻae afi ʻi hono nima mo e hele; pea naʻa na ō fakataha.
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?
Pea naʻe leaange ʻa ʻAisake ki heʻene tamai ko ʻEpalahame, ʻo pehē, “Ko ʻeku tamai; pea ne pehē, “Hoku foha, ko au eni.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai, ko eni ʻae afi, mo e fefie; ka ko e fē ʻae lami ki he feilaulau?”
8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself with the sheep for a burnt-offering. And they went both of them together.
Pea pehēange ʻe ʻEpalahame, “Hoku foha, ʻe tokonaki ʻe he ʻOtua maʻana ha lami ki he feilaulau tutu; pea ne na ō fakataha.”
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.
Pea naʻa na hoko ki he potu naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia; pea fokotuʻu ai ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae ʻesifeilaulau, ʻo ne hili ʻae fefie ki ai, pea ne haʻi hono foha ko ʻAisake, ʻo ne hilifaki ia ki he fefie ki he funga ʻesifeilaulau.
10 And Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to slaughter his son.
Pea mafao atu ʻe ʻEpalahame hono nima, ʻo ne toʻo ʻae hele ke tāmateʻi hono foha.
11 And the Angel of Jehovah called to him from the heavens, and said, Abraham, Abraham! And he said, Here am I.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kiate ia mei he langi, ʻo pehē, “ʻEpalahame, ʻEpalahame;” pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko au eni;”
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.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOua naʻa ala ho nima ki he tama, pe fai ha meʻa kiate ia; he ʻoku ou ʻilo eni, ʻoku ke manavahē ki he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ke taʻofi ho foha, ko ho foha pe taha meiate au.”
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.
Pea hanga hake ʻa ʻEpalahame hono mata ʻo ne sio, pea vakai naʻe ʻi hono tuʻa ha sipitangata, kuo ʻefihia ʻi hono nifo ʻi he vao; pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻo ne toʻo ʻae sipitangata, ʻo ne feilaulau ʻaki ia, ko e feilaulau tutu, ko e fetongi ʻo hono foha.
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.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae hingoa ʻoe potu ko ia, ko Sihova-Saila; hangē ko ia ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ʻo pehē, “ʻI he moʻunga ʻe ʻafio ʻa Sihova ki ai.”
15 And the Angel of Jehovah called to Abraham from the heavens a second time,
Pea naʻe ui ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpalahame mei he langi ko hono tuʻo ua,
16 and said, By myself I swear, saith Jehovah, that, because thou hast done this, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son],
ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, kuo u fuakava ʻiate au, koeʻuhi kuo ke fai ʻae meʻa ni, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke taʻofi meiate au ho foha, ʻa ho foha pe taha;
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;
Koeʻuhi ʻi he tāpuaki, te u tāpuakiʻi koe, pea ʻi he fakatokolahi, te u fakatokolahi ho hako ke tatau mo e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi, mo e ʻoneʻone ʻoku ʻi he matātahi; pea ʻe maʻu ʻe ho hako ʻae matapā ʻo honau ngaahi fili.
18 and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because thou hast hearkened to my voice.
Pea ʻe monūʻia ʻi ho hako ʻae puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani; ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo tuitala ki hoku leʻo.”
19 And Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba. And Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻa ʻEpalahame ki heʻene ongo talavou, pea naʻa nau tutuʻu ki ʻolunga ʻo nau fononga fakataha ki Peasipa, pea naʻe nofo ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻi Peasipa.
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:
Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe fakahā kia ʻEpalahame, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, kuo fanauʻi foki ʻe Milika ʻae fānau kia Nehoa, ko ho tokoua.
21 Uz his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Ko Husa hono ʻuluaki, mo Pusa ko hono tehina, pea mo Kemueli, ko e tamai ʻa ʻElami.
22 and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
Mo Keseti, mo Hesoa, mo Pilitasi, mo Sitilafi, mo Petueli.
23 (And Bethuel begot Rebecca.) These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
Pea naʻe tupu ia Petueli ʻa Lepeka ko e toko valu ni naʻe fanauʻi ʻe Milika kia Nehoa, ko e tehina ʻo ʻEpalahame.
24 And his concubine, named Reumah, she also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maacah.
Pea ko hono sinifu naʻe hingoa ko Liuma, naʻa ne fanauʻi foki ʻe ia ʻa Tepa, mo Kehami, mo Tehasi, mo Meeka.
