Genesis 22
1 It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham, Abraham." He said, "Here I am."
Nthawi ina zitatha izi, Mulungu anamuyesa Abrahamu. Iye anati, “Abrahamu!” Ndipo iye anayankha kuti, “Ee Ambuye.”
2 He said, "Now take your son, your only one, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of."
Ndipo Mulungu anati, “Tenga Isake, mwana wako yekhayo amene umamukonda ndi kupita naye ku dziko la Moriya. Ukamupereke iye ngati nsembe yopsereza pa limodzi la mapiri a kumeneko limene ndidzakuwuza.”
3 Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
Abrahamu anadzuka mmamawa wake namangirira chokhalira pa bulu. Atadula nkhuni zokwanira zowotchera nsembe yopsereza, Abrahamu, antchito ake awiri pamodzi ndi Isake ananyamuka kupita kumalo kumene Mulungu anamuwuza Abrahamu.
4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
Pa tsiku lachitatu, Abrahamu anakweza maso ake ndipo anaona malowo chapatali.
5 Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there, and we will worship, and come back to you."
Ndipo Abrahamu anati kwa antchito ake aja, “Bakhalani pano ndi buluyu. Ine ndi mnyamatayu tipita uko kukapemphera, koma tibweranso.”
6 Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.
Abrahamu anatenga nkhuni za nsembe yopsereza zija namusenzetsa mwana wake Isake, ndipo iye mwini anatenga moto ndi mpeni. Pamene awiriwo amayendera pamodzi,
7 Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am, my son." He said, "Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"
Isake anati kwa abambo ake Abrahamu, “Abambo?” Abrahamu anayankha, “Ee mwana wanga.” Isake anafunsa, “Moto ndi nkhuni zilipo, koma nanga mwana wankhosa wa nsembe yopsereza ali kuti?”
8 Abraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they both went together.
Abrahamu anayankha, “Mwana wanga, Mulungu adzipezera yekha mwana wankhosa wa nsembe yopsereza.” Ndipo awiriwo anapitiriza ulendo.
9 They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, on top of the wood.
Atafika pamalo pamene Mulungu anamuwuza paja, Abrahamu anamangapo guwa lansembe nayika nkhuni pamwamba pa guwapo. Kenaka anamumanga mwana wake Isake namugoneka paguwapo, pamwamba pa nkhuni paja.
10 Abraham reached out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
Kenaka Abrahamu anatambasula dzanja lake natenga mpeni kuti aphe mwana wake.
11 But an angel of God called to him out of the sky, and said, "Abraham, Abraham." And he said, "Here I am."
Koma mngelo wa Yehova anayitana Abrahamu kuchokera kumwamba nati, “Abrahamu! Abrahamu!” Iye anayankha kuti, “Ee Ambuye.”
12 He said, "Do not lay your hand on the boy, neither do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only one, from me."
Mngeloyo anati, “Usatambasulire mwanayo dzanja lako kuti umuphe, pakuti tsopano ndadziwa kuti iwe umaopa Mulungu. Iwe sunandimane mwana wako mmodzi yekhayo.”
13 And Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up as a burnt offering instead of his son.
Abrahamu anatukula maso ake ndipo anaona nkhosa yamphongo itakoledwa ndi nyanga zake mu ziyangoyango. Iye anapita nakatenga nkhosa ija ndikuyipha ngati nsembe yopsereza mʼmalo mwa mwana wake.
14 Abraham called the name of that place Elohim Yireh. As it is said to this day, "On the mountain, God will provide."
Choncho Abrahamu anatcha malo amenewa kuti Yehova-Yire (Wopereka). Ndipo mpaka lero amatchula malowo kuti ndi “Pa phiri la Yehova wopereka.”
15 The angel of God called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
Mngelo wa Yehova anayitana Abrahamu kuchokera kumwamba kachiwiri
16 and said, "I have sworn by myself," says the LORD, "because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one, from me,
ndipo anati, “Ndikulumbira mwa Ine ndekha kuti popeza wachita zimenezi, wosandikaniza mwana wako mmodzi yekhayu,
17 I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply your offspring like the stars of the sky, and like the sand which is on the seashore; and your offspring will possess the gate of their enemies.
ndidzakudalitsa ndithu ndipo ndidzakupatsa zidzukulu zochuluka ngati nyenyezi zamlengalenga komanso ngati mchenga wa mʼmphepete mwa nyanja. Zidzukulu zako zidzalanda mizinda ya adani awo,
18 And through your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."
ndipo kudzera mwa chidzukulu chako, mitundu yonse ya anthu pa dziko lapansi idzadalitsika, chifukwa iwe wandimvera.”
19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
Kenaka Abrahamu anabwerera kumene anasiya antchito ake kuja nanyamukira nawo pamodzi kupita ku Beeriseba. Ndipo Abrahamu anakhala ku Beeriseba.
20 It happened after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, "Look, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
Patapita nthawi, Abrahamu anamva kuti, “Milika nayenso anaberekera Nahori, mʼbale wake ana.
21 Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
Woyamba anali Huzi ndipo kenaka mʼbale wake Buzi. Anaberekanso Kemueli, amene anali abambo ake a Aramu.
22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."
Ana ena ndi Kesede Hazo, Pilidasi, Yidilafi ndi Betueli.”
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
Betueli anabereka Rebeka. Milika anaberekera Nahori, mʼbale wake wa Abrahamu, ana aamuna asanu ndi atatu amenewa.
24 His secondary wife, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
Mkazi wake wachiwiri, dzina lake Reuma, anamubaliranso Nahori ana awa: Teba, Gahamu, Tahasi ndi Maaka.
