Genesis 22
1 And it comes to pass after these things that God has tried Abraham and says to him, “Abraham”; and he says, “Here I [am].”
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 says, “Now take your son, your only one, whom you have loved, even Isaac, and go for yourself to the land of Moriah, and cause him to ascend there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains of which I speak to you.”
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 rises early in the morning, and saddles his donkey, and takes two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac, and he cleaves the wood of the burnt-offering, and rises and goes to the place of which God has spoken to him.
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 lifts up his eyes, and sees 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 says to his young men, “Remain by yourselves here with the donkey, and I and the youth go over there and worship, and return 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 takes the wood of the burnt-offering, and places on his son Isaac, and he takes in his hand the fire, and the knife; and they go on 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 speaks to his father Abraham and says, “My father,” and he says, “Here I [am], my son.” And he says, “Behold, the fire and the wood, and where the lamb 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 says, “God provides for Himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son”; and they go on 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 come to the place of which God has spoken to him, and there Abraham builds the altar, and arranges the wood, and binds his son Isaac, and places him on the altar above 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 puts forth his hand, and takes 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 Messenger of YHWH calls to him from the heavens and says, “Abraham, Abraham”; and he says, “Here I [am]”;
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 says, “Do not put forth your hand to the youth, nor do anything to him, for now I have known that you are fearing God, and have not withheld your son, your only one, 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 lifts up his eyes, and looks, and behold, a ram behind, seized in a thicket by its horns; and Abraham goes, and takes the ram, and causes it to ascend 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 calls the name of that place “YHWH-Jireh,” because it is said this day in the mountain, “YHWH provides.”
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 Messenger of YHWH calls to Abraham a second time from the heavens,
Na ka karanga ano te anahera a Ihowa ki a Aperahama i te rangi,
16 and says, “I have sworn by Myself—a declaration of YHWH—that because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one,
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 that blessing I bless you, and multiplying I multiply your seed as stars of the heavens, and as sand which [is] on the seashore; and your Seed possesses 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 all nations of the earth have blessed themselves in your Seed, because you have listened 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 turns back to his young men, and they rise and go together to Beer-Sheba; and Abraham dwells in 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 comes to pass after these things that it is declared to Abraham, saying, “Behold, Milcah has borne, even she, sons to your 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 his firstborn Huz, and his brother Buz; and Kemuel 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 has begotten Rebekah”; Milcah has borne these eight 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, whose name [is] Reumah, she also has borne Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maachah.
A ko tana wahine iti, tona ingoa nei ko Reuma, i whanau ano ana, ko Tepa ratou ko Kahama, ko Tahaha, ko Maaka.
