Genesis 22
1 It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham, Abraham." He said, "Here I am."
Thuutha wa maũndũ macio-rĩ, Ngai nĩageririe Iburahĩmu. Ngai akĩmwĩta atĩrĩ, “Iburahĩmu!” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ haha.”
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."
Nake Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Oya mũriũ waku, o we ũrĩa wa mũmwe Isaaka, ũrĩa wendete, ũthiĩ rũgongo rwa Moria, na ũmũrute ta igongona rĩa njino kuo kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩmwe kĩa iria ngaakuonia.”
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ rũciinĩ tene, Iburahĩmu agĩũkĩra, agĩtandĩka ndigiri yake. Akĩoya ndungata ciake igĩrĩ na mũriũ wake Isaaka. Aarĩkia gwatũra ngũ cia kũigana igongona rĩa njino-rĩ, akiumagara erekeire handũ harĩa Ngai aamwĩrĩte.
4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
Mũthenya wa gatatũ, Iburahĩmu agĩtiira maitho na akĩona handũ hau harĩ o kũraya.
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."
Akĩĩra ndungata ciake atĩrĩ, “Ikaragai haha na ndigiri ĩno, na niĩ na kĩmwana gĩakwa tũthiĩ haarĩa tũkahooe Ngai, na tũcooke tũmũcookerere.”
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.
Iburahĩmu agĩkĩoya ngũ icio cia igongona rĩa njino, agĩciigĩrĩra mũriũ wake Isaaka, nake agĩkuua mwaki na kahiũ. Na rĩrĩa o eerĩ mathiiaga hamwe,
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?"
Isaaka akĩaria, agĩĩta ithe Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ, “Baba!” Iburahĩmu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ, mũrũ wakwa.” Isaaka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndĩrona tũrĩ na mwaki na ngũ! No rĩrĩ, gatũrũme ka igongona rĩa njino karĩ ha?”
8 Abraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they both went together.
Iburahĩmu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wakwa, Ngai we mwene nĩekũheana gatũrũme ka igongona rĩa njino.” Nao eerĩ magĩthiĩ na mbere marĩ hamwe.
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.
Maakinya handũ harĩa Ngai aamwĩrĩte-rĩ, Iburahĩmu agĩaka kĩgongona ho na akĩara ngũ igũrũ rĩakĩo. Agĩcooka akĩoha mũriũ wake Isaaka na akĩmũkomia kĩgongona-inĩ kĩu igũrũ rĩa ngũ.
10 Abraham reached out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
Ningĩ akĩoya kahiũ, agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake, oorage mũriũ.
11 But an angel of God called to him out of the sky, and said, "Abraham, Abraham." And he said, "Here I am."
No mũraika wa Jehova akĩmwĩta kuuma igũrũ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Iburahĩmu! Iburahĩmu!” Nake Iburahĩmu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ haha.”
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."
Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũkahutie kĩmwana kĩu na guoko gwaku, na ndũgagĩĩke ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ. Rĩu nĩndamenya atĩ nĩwĩtigĩrĩte Ngai, tondũ ndũnarega kũruta mũrũguo, o we mũrũguo waku wa mũmwe, arĩ igongona.”
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.
Nake Iburahĩmu agĩtiira maitho, na hau kĩhinga-inĩ akĩona ndũrũme ĩnyiitĩtwo hĩa nĩ mĩrita. Agĩthiĩ ho, akĩoya ndũrũme ĩyo na akĩmĩruta ĩrĩ igongona rĩa njino handũ ha mũriũ.
14 Abraham called the name of that place Elohim Yireh. As it is said to this day, "On the mountain, God will provide."
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Iburahĩmu agĩĩta handũ hau Jehova-Nĩarĩheanaga. Na nginya ũmũthĩ kuugagwo atĩrĩ, “Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Jehova-rĩ, nĩarĩtũheaga.”
15 The angel of God called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
Nake mũraika wa Jehova arĩ igũrũ, agĩĩta Iburahĩmu hĩndĩ ya keerĩ,
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,
akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Nĩndĩhĩtĩte na niĩ mwene, atĩ tondũ nĩwĩkĩte ũndũ ũyũ na ndũnarega kũndutĩra mũrũguo, o mũrũguo waku wa mũmwe-rĩ,
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.
ti-itherũ nĩngakũrathima na ndũme njiaro ciaku cingĩhe ta njata cia matu-inĩ na ta mũthanga ũrĩa ũrĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria. Njiaro ciaku nĩ ikegwatĩra matũũra marĩa manene ma thũ ciacio,
18 And through your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."
na nĩ ũndũ wa rũciaro rwaku, ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia thĩ nĩikarathimwo, tondũ wee nĩũnjathĩkĩire.”
19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
Nake Iburahĩmu agĩcookerera ndungata ciake, magĩthiĩ hamwe marorete Birishiba. Nake Iburahĩmu agĩtũũra kũu Birishiba.
20 It happened after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, "Look, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
Thuutha wa maũndũ macio Iburahĩmu agĩkinyĩrwo nĩ ũhoro, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Milika o nake nĩagĩĩte na ciana; nĩaciarĩire mũrũ-wa-nyũkwa Nahoru ciana:
21 Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
Uzu nĩwe wa irigithathi, na mũrũ wa nyina nĩ Buzu, na Kemueli (ithe wa Aramu),
22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."
na Kesedu, na Hazo, na Pilidashu, na Jidilafu, na Bethueli.”
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
Bethueli nĩwe watuĩkire ithe wa Rebeka. Acio nĩo ariũ arĩa anana Milika aaciarĩire Nahoru, mũrũ wa nyina na Iburahĩmu.
24 His secondary wife, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
Thuriya yake, ĩrĩa yetagwo Reuma, o nayo yarĩ na ariũ ake, nĩo Teba, na Gahamu, na Tahashu na Maaka.
