< 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].”
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 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.”
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 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.
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 lifts up his eyes, and sees 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 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.”
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 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.
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 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?”
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 says, “God provides for Himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son”; and they go on 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 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;
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 puts forth his hand, and takes 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 Messenger of YHWH calls to him from the heavens and says, “Abraham, Abraham”; and he says, “Here I [am]”;
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 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.”
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 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;
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 calls the name of that place “YHWH-Jireh,” because it is said this day in the mountain, “YHWH provides.”
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 Messenger of YHWH calls to Abraham a second time from the heavens,
Pea naʻe ui ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpalahame mei he langi ko hono tuʻo ua,
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,
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 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;
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 all nations of the earth have blessed themselves in your Seed, because you have listened 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 turns back to his young men, and they rise and go together to Beer-Sheba; and Abraham dwells in 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 comes to pass after these things that it is declared to Abraham, saying, “Behold, Milcah has borne, even she, sons to your 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 his firstborn Huz, and his brother Buz; and Kemuel 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 has begotten Rebekah”; Milcah has borne these eight 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, whose name [is] Reumah, she also has borne Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maachah.
Pea ko hono sinifu naʻe hingoa ko Liuma, naʻa ne fanauʻi foki ʻe ia ʻa Tepa, mo Kehami, mo Tehasi, mo Meeka.
