< Genesis 22 >

1 And after these things God did proue Abraham, and said vnto him, Abraham. Who answered, Here am I.
Nna bi akyi no, Onyankopɔn sɔɔ Abraham hwɛe. Ɔfrɛɛ Abraham se, “Abraham!” Abraham buae se, “Me ni!”
2 And he said, Take nowe thine onely sonne Izhak whom thou louest, and get thee vnto the land of Moriah, and offer him there for a burnt offering vpon one of the mountaines, which I will shewe thee.
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Fa wo ba, wo ba koro Isak a wodɔ no no kɔ Moria asase so, na fa no kɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ mmepɔw a ɛwɔ hɔ no mu baako a mɛkyerɛ wo no so.”
3 Then Abraham rose vp early in the morning, and sadled his asse, and tooke two of his seruants with him, and Izhak his sonne, and cloue wood for the burnt offering, and rose vp and went to the place, which God had tolde him.
Abraham sɔree anɔpatutuutu hyehyɛɛ nʼafurum. Ɔfaa ne nkoa no mu baanu ne ne ba Isak kaa ne ho. Otwitwaa ogya a ɛbɛso ɔhyew afɔre no bɔ no, osii mu kɔɔ faako a Onyankopɔn kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnkɔ no.
4 Then the third day Abraham lift vp his eyes, and sawe the place afarre off,
Ne nnansa so no, Abraham too nʼani huu sɛ baabi a ɔrekɔ no wɔ akyirikyiri.
5 And said vnto his seruants, Abide you here with the asse: for I and the childe will go yonder and worship, and come againe vnto you.
Na Abraham ka kyerɛɛ ne nkoa no se, “Mo ne afurum no ntwɛn wɔ ha, na me ne abarimaa no nkɔ anim kakra nkɔsom. Sɛ yɛsom wie a, yɛbɛsan aba.”
6 Then Abraham tooke the wood of the burnt offering, and layed it vpon Izhak his sonne, and he tooke the fire in his hand, and the knife: and they went both together.
Abraham faa nnyina a wɔde rekɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre no de soaa ne ba Isak. Na ɔno nso faa ogya ne sekan kurae. Bere a wɔrekɔ no,
7 Then spake Izhak vnto Abraham his father, and said, My father. And he answered, Here am I, my sonne. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, but where is the lambe for ye burnt offring?
Isak frɛɛ nʼagya Abraham se, “Agya!” Na Abraham buae se, “Me ba, asɛm bɛn?” Isak bisaa no se, “Ogya ne nnyina no ni, na oguamma a yɛde no rekɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre no wɔ he?”
8 Then Abraham answered, My sonne, God will prouide him a lambe for a burnt offering: so they went both together.
Abraham buae se, “Onyankopɔn no ankasa bɛma yɛn afɔre guan no a yɛde rekɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre no.” Na wɔn baanu no toaa so kɔe.
9 And when they came to the place which God had shewed him, Abraham builded an altar there, and couched ye wood, and bound Izhak his sonne and laid him on the altar vpon the wood.
Wokoduu faako a Onyankopɔn kyerɛɛ no no, Abraham sii afɔremuka wɔ hɔ, hyehyɛɛ nnyina no wɔ so. Ɔkyekyeree ne ba Isak, de no too nnyina no so wɔ afɔremuka no so.
10 And Abraham stretching forth his hand, tooke the knife to kill his sonne.
Abraham twee sekan no, maa so sɛ ɔde rebetwa ne ba no mene akum no.
11 But the Angel of the Lord called vnto him from heauen, saying, Abraham, Abraham. And he answered, Here am I.
Ɛhɔ ara na Awurade bɔfo frɛɛ no fi ɔsoro se, “Abraham! Abraham!” Na Abraham gyee so se, “Me ni.”
12 Then he said, Lay not thine hand vpon the childe, neither doe any thing vnto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing for my sake thou hast not spared thine onely sonne.
Awurade bɔfo no kae se, “Mfa wo nsa nka abofra no. Nyɛ no bɔne biara. Esiane sɛ woamfa wo dɔba, wo ba koro no ankame me no nti, mahu sɛ wusuro Onyankopɔn.”
13 And Abraham lifting vp his eyes, looked: and behold, there was a ramme behind him caught by the hornes in a bush. then Abraham went and tooke the ramme, and offered him vp for a burnt offering in the steade of his sonne.
Abraham maa nʼani so huu sɛ nkyɛkyerɛ bi aso Odwennini bi mmɛn mu wɔ wura no mu hɔ. Abraham kɔkyeree Odwennini no de no bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ afɔremuka no so sii ne ba no anan mu.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place, Iehouah-ijreh. as it is said this day, In the mount will the Lord be seene.
Abraham too beae no din se Awurade De Bɛma. Ebesi nnɛ no wɔka se, “Wɔde bɛma wɔ Awurade bepɔw no so.”
15 And the Angel of the Lord cryed vnto Abraham from heauen the second time,
Awurade bɔfo no frɛɛ Abraham fii ɔsoro nea ɛto so abien kae se,
16 And saide, By my selfe haue I sworne (saith ye Lord) because thou hast done this thing, and hast not spared thine onely sonne,
“Maka me ho ntam se, esiane sɛ woayɛ eyi, na woamfa wo ba, wo ba koro no ankame me nti,
17 Therefore will I surely blesse thee, and will greatly multiplie thy seede, as the starres of the heauen, and as the sand which is vpon the sea shore, and thy seede shall possesse the gate of his enemies.
hyira na mehyira wo na mama wʼase adɔ sɛ ɔsoro nsoromma ne mpoano nwea. Na wʼasefo begye wɔn atamfo nkuropɔn adi so.
18 And in thy seede shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voyce.
Wɔnam wʼasefo so na wobehyira wiase amanaman nyinaa, efisɛ woadi mʼasɛm so.”
19 Then turned Abraham againe vnto his seruants, and they rose vp and went together to Beer-sheba: and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
Na Abraham san kɔɔ nʼasomfo no nkyɛn ne wɔn sii mu kɔɔ Beer-Seba kɔtenaa hɔ.
20 And after these things one tolde Abraham, saying, Beholde Milcah, she hath also borne children vnto thy brother Nahor:
Nna bi akyi no, wɔka kyerɛɛ Abraham se, “Milka nso yɛ ɔbeatan a wawo mmabarima ama wo nuabarima Nahor:
21 To wit, Vz his eldest sonne, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Us yɛ abakan, Us nuabarima a odi so ne Bus. Kemuel a ɔto so abiɛsa na ɔwoo Aram.
22 And Chesed and Hazo, and Pildash, and Iidlaph, and Bethuel.
Wɔn a wɔaka no ne Kesed, Haso, Pildas, Yidlaf ne Betuel.”
23 And Bethuel begate Rebekah: these eight did Milcah beare to Nahor Abrahams brother.
Betuel bɛyɛɛ Rebeka nʼagya. Milka ne Abraham nua Nahor na wɔwowoo saa mmabarima baawɔtwe yi.
24 And his concubine called Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gahan, and Thahash and Maachah.
Nahor ne ne mpena Rehuma nso woo mma baanan a wɔn din de, Teba, Gaham, Tahas ne Maaka.
