Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and he said unto him, Abraham, and he said, Behold, here am I.
Baadaye Mungu akamjaribu Abrahamu. Akamwambia, “Abrahamu!” Abrahamu akajibu, “Mimi hapa.”
2 And he said: Take now thy son, thy only one, whom thou lovest, even Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I tell thee of.
Kisha Mungu akamwambia, “Umchukue mwanao, mwana wako wa pekee, Isaki umpendaye, uende katika nchi ya Moria. Mtoe huko kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa juu ya mlima mmojawapo nitakaokuambia.”
3 And Abraham rose up 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 arose, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
Abrahamu akaamka asubuhi na mapema siku iliyofuata, akamtayarisha punda wake. Akawachukua watumishi wake wawili pamoja na Isaki mwanawe. Baada ya kuchanja kuni za kutosha kwa ajili ya hiyo sadaka ya kuteketezwa, akaondoka kuelekea mahali Mungu alipokuwa amemwambia.
4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
Siku ya tatu Abrahamu akainua macho, akapaona mahali pale kwa mbali.
5 And Abraham said unto his young men, abide ye here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder, and we will worship, and then come again to you.
Akawaambia watumishi wake, “Kaeni hapa pamoja na punda, wakati mimi na kijana tunakwenda kule. Tutakwenda kuabudu na kisha tutawarudia.”
6 And Abraham took the wood for the burnt-offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took in his hand the fire and the knife; and they went both of them together.
Abrahamu akachukua kuni kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa, akamtwika Isaki mwanawe, yeye mwenyewe akachukua moto na kisu. Walipokuwa wakienda pamoja,
7 And Isaac spoke unto Abraham his father, and said, My father; and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold, here is the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt-offering?
Isaki akanena akamwambia Abrahamu baba yake, “Baba yangu!” Abrahamu akaitika, “Mimi hapa, mwanangu.” Isaki akasema, “Moto na kuni zipo, Je, yuko wapi mwana-kondoo kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa?”
8 And Abraham said, God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son; so they went both of them together.
Abrahamu akajibu, “Mwanangu, Mungu mwenyewe atajipatia mwana-kondoo kwa ajili ya hiyo sadaka ya kuteketezwa.” Nao hawa wawili wakaendelea mbele pamoja.
9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built there an altar, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar above the wood.
Walipofika mahali pale alipokuwa ameambiwa na Mungu, Abrahamu akajenga madhabahu hapo, akaziweka kuni juu yake. Akamfunga Isaki mwanawe na akamlaza kwenye madhabahu, juu ya zile kuni.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
Kisha akanyoosha mkono wake na akachukua kisu ili amchinje mwanawe.
11 But the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham; and he said, Here am I.
Lakini malaika wa Bwana akamwita kutoka mbinguni, akamwambia, “Abrahamu! Abrahamu!” Akajibu, “Mimi hapa.”
12 And he said, Lay not thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou the least unto him; for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing that thou hast not withheld thy son, thy only one, from me.
Akamwambia, “Usimdhuru kijana, wala usimtendee jambo lolote. Sasa ninajua kwamba unamcha Mungu, kwa sababu hukunizuilia mwanao, mwana wako wa pekee.”
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, there was a ram that was afterward caught in a thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt-offering in the stead of his son.
Abrahamu akainua macho yake, akaona kondoo dume amenaswa pembe zake nyuma yake katika kichaka. Akaenda akamchukua huyo kondoo dume, akamtoa awe sadaka ya kuteketezwa badala ya mwanawe.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place, Adonai-yireh: as it is said to this day, On the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
Abrahamu akapaita mahali pale Yehova-Yire. Mpaka siku ya leo inasemekana, “Katika mlima wa Bwana itapatikana.”
15 And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham the second time out of heaven,
Basi malaika wa Bwana akamwita Abrahamu kutoka mbinguni mara ya pili,
16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, since, because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thy only one:
akasema, “Ninaapa kwa nafsi yangu, asema Bwana, kwamba kwa sababu umefanya jambo hili na hukunizuilia mwanao, mwana wako wa pekee,
17 That I will greatly bless thee, and I will exceedingly multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
hakika nitakubariki, na nitauzidisha uzao wako kama nyota za angani na kama mchanga ulioko pwani. Wazao wako watamiliki miji ya adui zao,
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because that thou hast obeyed my voice.
na kupitia uzao wako mataifa yote duniani yatabarikiwa, kwa sababu umenitii.”
19 And Abraham returned unto his young men; and they rose up, and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt in Beer-sheba.
Ndipo Abrahamu akawarudia watumishi wake, wakaondoka wakaenda wote pamoja mpaka Beer-Sheba. Abrahamu akaishi huko Beer-Sheba.
20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told to Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also, hath born children unto Nachor thy brother;
Baada ya muda, Abrahamu akaambiwa, “Milka pia amepata watoto, amemzalia ndugu yako Nahori wana:
21 'Uz his first born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Usi mzaliwa wake wa kwanza, Buzi nduguye, Kemueli (baba wa Aramu),
22 And Kesed, and Chazo, and Pildash, and Yidlaph, and Bethuel.
Kesedi, Hazo, Pildashi, Yidlafu na Bethueli.”
23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah; these eight did Milcah bear to Nachor, Abraham's brother.
Bethueli akamzaa Rebeka. Milka alimzalia Nahori nduguye Abrahamu hao wana wanane.
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bore Tebach, and Gacham, and Thachash, and Maachah.
Suria wake Nahori aliyeitwa Reuma pia alikuwa na wana: Teba, Gahamu, Tahashi na Maaka.
