Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did prove Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham; and he said, Here am I.
Thuutha wa maũndũ macio-rĩ, Ngai nĩageririe Iburahĩmu. Ngai akĩmwĩta atĩrĩ, “Iburahĩmu!” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ haha.”
2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son, whom thou lovest, even Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee 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 And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto 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 afar off.
Mũthenya wa gatatũ, Iburahĩmu agĩtiira maitho na akĩona handũ hau harĩ o kũraya.
5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder; and we will worship, and come again to you.
Akĩĩra ndungata ciake atĩrĩ, “Ikaragai haha na ndigiri ĩno, na niĩ na kĩmwana gĩakwa tũthiĩ haarĩa tũkahooe Ngai, na tũcooke tũmũcookerere.”
6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took in his hand the fire and the knife; and they went both of them 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 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold, 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 And Abraham said, God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son: so they went both of them together.
Iburahĩmu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wakwa, Ngai we mwene nĩekũheana gatũrũme ka igongona rĩa njino.” Nao eerĩ magĩthiĩ na mbere marĩ hamwe.
9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, upon 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 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
Ningĩ akĩoya kahiũ, agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake, oorage mũriũ.
11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
No mũraika wa Jehova akĩmwĩta kuuma igũrũ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Iburahĩmu! Iburahĩmu!” Nake Iburahĩmu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ haha.”
12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, 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 lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, behind [him] a ram caught in the thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead 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 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be provided.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Iburahĩmu agĩĩta handũ hau Jehova-Nĩarĩheanaga. Na nginya ũmũthĩ kuugagwo atĩrĩ, “Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Jehova-rĩ, nĩarĩtũheaga.”
15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham a second time out of heaven,
Nake mũraika wa Jehova arĩ igũrũ, agĩĩta Iburahĩmu hĩndĩ ya keerĩ,
16 and said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
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 that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his 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 in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
na nĩ ũndũ wa rũciaro rwaku, ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia thĩ nĩikarathimwo, tondũ wee nĩũnjathĩkĩire.”
19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
Nake Iburahĩmu agĩcookerera ndungata ciake, magĩthiĩ hamwe marorete Birishiba. Nake Iburahĩmu agĩtũũra kũu Birishiba.
20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also hath borne children unto thy 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, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram;
Uzu nĩwe wa irigithathi, na mũrũ wa nyina nĩ Buzu, na Kemueli (ithe wa Aramu),
22 and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
na Kesedu, na Hazo, na Pilidashu, na Jidilafu, na Bethueli.”
23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight did Milcah bear 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 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bare Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
Thuriya yake, ĩrĩa yetagwo Reuma, o nayo yarĩ na ariũ ake, nĩo Teba, na Gahamu, na Tahashu na Maaka.
