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.
Yeinom nyinaa akyiri, Onyankopɔn sɔɔ Abraham hwɛeɛ. Ɔfrɛɛ Abraham sɛ, “Abraham!” Abraham buaa sɛ, “Me nie!”
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.
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Fa wo ba, wo ba korɔ Isak a wodɔ no no kɔ Moria asase so, na fa no kɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ mmepɔ a ɛwɔ hɔ no mu baako a mɛkyerɛ wo no so.”
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.
Abraham sɔree anɔpatutuutu hyehyɛɛ nʼafunumu. Ɔfaa ne nkoa no mu baanu ne ne ba Isak kaa ne ho. Ɔtwitwaa egya a ɛbɛso ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no bɔ no, ɔsiim kɔɔ baabi a Onyankopɔn kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnkɔ no.
4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
Ne nnansa so no, Abraham too nʼani hunuu sɛ baabi a ɔrekɔ no wɔ akyirikyiri.
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.
Na Abraham ka kyerɛɛ ne nkoa no sɛ, “Mo ne afunumu no ntwɛn ha, na me ne abarimaa no nkɔ animu kakra, nkɔsom. Sɛ yɛsom wie a, yɛbɛsane aba.”
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.
Abraham faa anyina a wɔde rekɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no de soaa ne ba Isak. Ɛnna ɔno nso faa egya ne sekammoa kuraeɛ. Ɛberɛ a wɔrekɔ no,
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?
Isak frɛɛ nʼagya Abraham sɛ, “Agya!” Ɛnna Abraham buaa sɛ, “Me ba, asɛm bɛn?” Isak bisaa no sɛ, “Egya ne anyina no nie, na odwammaa a yɛde no rekɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no wɔ he?”
8 And Abraham said, God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son; so they went both of them together.
Abraham buaa sɛ, “Onyankopɔn no ankasa bɛma yɛn afɔredwan a yɛde rekɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no.” Afei, wɔn baanu no toaa so kɔeɛ.
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.
Wɔbɛduruu baabi a Onyankopɔn kyerɛɛ no no, Abraham sii afɔrebukyia wɔ hɔ, hyehyɛɛ anyina no wɔ so. Ɔkyekyeree ne ba Isak, de no too anyina no so wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
Abraham twee sekammoa no, pagyaa sɛ ɔde rebɛtwa ne ba no mene akum no.
11 But the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham; and he said, Here am I.
Ɛhɔ ara na Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ frɛɛ no firi soro sɛ, “Abraham! Abraham!” Ɛnna Abraham gyee so sɛ, “Me nie.”
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.
Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Mfa wo nsa nka abɔfra no. Ɛnyɛ no bɔne biara. Esiane sɛ woamfa wo dɔ ba, wo ba korɔ no ankame me no enti, mahunu sɛ wosuro Onyankopɔn.”
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.
Abraham maa nʼani so hunuu sɛ nkyɛkyerɛ bi asɔ odwennini bi mmɛn mu wɔ wira no mu hɔ. Abraham kɔkyeree odwennini no de no bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ afɔrebukyia no so, sii ne ba no ananmu.
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.
Abraham too beaeɛ no din sɛ Awurade De Bɛma. Ɛbɛsi ɛnnɛ no wɔka sɛ, “wɔde bɛma wɔ Awurade bepɔ no so.”
15 And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham the second time out of heaven,
Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no frɛɛ Abraham firii soro deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu kaa sɛ,
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:
“Maka me ho ntam sɛ, ɛsiane sɛ woayɛ yei, na woamfa wo ba, wo ba korɔ no ankame me enti,
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;
hyira na mɛhyira wo na mama wʼase adɔre sɛ ɔsoro nsoromma ne mpoano anwea. Na wʼasefoɔ bɛgye wɔn atamfoɔ nkuropɔn adi so.
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because that thou hast obeyed my voice.
Wɔnam wʼasefoɔ so na wɔbɛhyira ewiase amanaman nyinaa, ɛfiri sɛ, woadi mʼasɛm so.”
19 And Abraham returned unto his young men; and they rose up, and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt in Beer-sheba.
Afei, Abraham sane kɔɔ nʼasomfoɔ no nkyɛn ne wɔn siim kɔɔ Beer-Seba kɔtenaa hɔ.
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;
Yeinom nyinaa akyiri no, wɔka kyerɛɛ Abraham sɛ, “Milka nso yɛ ɔbaatan a wawo mmammarima ama wo nuabarima Nahor. Wɔn din na ɛdidi so yi:
21 'Uz his first born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Us yɛ abakan, Us nuabarima Bus na ɔtɔ so mmienu. Deɛ ɔdi so ne Kemuel, a ɔyɛ Aram agya.
22 And Kesed, and Chazo, and Pildash, and Yidlaph, and Bethuel.
Wɔn a wɔaka no ne Kesed, Haso, Pildas, Yidlaf ne Betuel.”
23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah; these eight did Milcah bear to Nachor, Abraham's brother.
Saa Betuel yi na ɔwoo Rebeka. Milka ne Abraham nua Nahor na wɔwowoo saa mmammarima baawɔtwe yi.
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bore Tebach, and Gacham, and Thachash, and Maachah.
Nahor ne ne mpena Rehuma nso wowoo mma baanan a wɔn din de, Teba, Gaham, Tahas ne Maaka.
