< Genesis 22 >

1 It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham, Abraham." He said, "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 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."
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 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.
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 lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
I te ra tuatoru ka maranga nga kanohi o Aperahama, a ka kite ia i taua wahi i tawhiti.
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."
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 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.
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 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?"
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 Abraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they both went 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 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.
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 Abraham reached out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
Na ka totoro atu te ringa o Aperahama, ka mau ki te maripi hei patu mo tana tama.
11 But an angel of God called to him out of the sky, and said, "Abraham, Abraham." And he said, "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 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."
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 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.
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 Abraham called the name of that place Elohim Yireh. As it is said to this day, "On the mountain, God will provide."
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 The angel of God called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
Na ka karanga ano te anahera a Ihowa ki a Aperahama i te rangi,
16 and said, "I have sworn by myself," says YHWH, "because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one, from me,
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 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.
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 through your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."
Ma tou uri ano hoki ka manaakitia ai nga iwi katoa o te whenua; mou i whakarongo ki toku reo.
19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
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 It happened after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, "Look, Milcah also has borne children 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 Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
Ko Hutu, ko tana matamua, raua ko Putu, ko tona teina, me Kemuera hoki, matua o Arame,
22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."
Ratou ko Kehere, ko Hato, ko Piretata, ko Irirapa, ko Petuere.
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore 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 His secondary wife, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
A ko tana wahine iti, tona ingoa nei ko Reuma, i whanau ano ana, ko Tepa ratou ko Kahama, ko Tahaha, ko Maaka.
