Genesis 22
1 Several years later, God tested Abraham [to find out] whether Abraham [really trusted in him and would obey him]. He called out to Abraham, and Abraham replied, “I’m here.”
Bangʼ kinde moko Nyasaye notemo Ibrahim. Noluonge niya, “Ibrahim!” Eka nodwoke niya, “Eri an ka.”
2 God said, “Your son, Isaac, whom you love very much, is the only son [who is still here with you]. But take him and go together to the Moriah region. Offer him as a sacrifice like a burnt offering, on a hill that I will show you.”
Eka Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Kaw wuodi, wuodi ma miderma Isaka, kendo mi ihero mondo idhigo e gwengʼ mar Moria. Chiwe kanyo kaka misango miwangʼo pep ewi got moro ma abiro nyisi.”
3 So Abraham got up early the next morning, put a saddle on his donkey, and took with him two of his servants along with his son, Isaac. He also chopped some wood to kindle a fire for a burnt offering. Then they started traveling to the place God told him about.
Kinyne gokinyi mangʼich Ibrahim noa malo kendo noiko pundane ne wuoth. Nodhi kod jotijene ariyo kaachiel gi Isaka wuode. Kane osengʼado yien moromo tiyogo e misango miwangʼo pep, nochako wuoth madhi kamane Nyasaye osenyise.
4 On the third day of their travels, Abraham looked up and saw in the distance the place where God wanted him to go.
E odiechiengʼ mar adek Ibrahim notingʼo wangʼe moneno kanyo gi kuma bor.
5 Abraham said to his servants, “You two stay here with the donkey while the boy and I go over there. We will worship God there, and then we will come back to you.”
Nowacho ne jotije niya, “Dongʼuru kae gi punda ka an kod Isaka wadhi kucha. Wadhi lemo kendo eka wabiro duogo iru.”
6 Then Abraham took the wood to kindle a fire for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, for him to carry. Abraham carried in his hand a [pan containing burning coals to start a] fire, and a knife, and the two of them walked along together.
Ibrahim nokawo yien mar misango miwangʼo pep kendo nomiyo Isaka, to en owuon notingʼo mach kod pala ka ji ariyogo ne wuotho.
7 Then Isaac spoke to his father Abraham, saying, “My father!” Abraham replied, “Yes, my son, I’m here!” Isaac said, “Look, we have wood and [coals to light] a fire, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
Isaka notingʼo dwonde mopenjo wuon-gi Ibrahim niya, “Wuora?” Ibrahim nodwoke niya, “En angʼo wuoda?” Eka Isaka nopenje niya, “Mach kod yien nikae, to ere nyaim mar misango miwangʼo pep?”
8 Abraham replied, “My son, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering.” So the two of them continued walking along together.
Ibrahim nodwoke niya, “Wuoda, Nyasaye owuon ema biro chiwo nyaim mar misango miwangʼo pep.” Bangʼ mano negidhi nyime giwuodhgi kanyakla.
9 They arrived at the place God had told him about. There, Abraham built a stone altar and arranged the wood on top of it. Then he tied his son Isaac, and laid him on the altar on top of the wood.
Kane gichopo kumane Nyasaye osenyiso Ibrahim, Ibrahim nogero kendo mar misango kanyo kendo nopango yien e wiye motweyo Isaka wuode kendo nopiele ewi kendo mar misango, ewi yien.
10 Then Abraham took the knife and reached out to kill his son.
Eka notero lwete kendo okawo pala mondo oneg-go wuode.
11 But an angel [who was really Yahweh] called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” Abraham replied, “I’m here!”
To malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye noluonge gie polo niya, “Ibrahim! Ibrahim!” Eka nodwoke niya, “Eri an ka.”
12 The angel said, “Do not harm the boy or do anything to injure him, because now I know that you respect and obey God. I know that because you have not refused to sacrifice your son, the only son [who is still with you].”
Malaika nowachone niya, “Kik iket lweti kuom wuodi, kendo kik itimne gimoro amora. Koro asengʼeyo ni iluoro Nyasaye, nikech ok isetama e wuodi ma miderma.”
13 Then Abraham looked up and saw that a ram was nearby, whose horns had been caught in a (thicket/clump of bushes). So Abraham went over and grabbed the ram [and killed it], and sacrificed it on the altar as a burnt offering, instead of his son.
Ibrahim notingʼo wangʼe mopo koneno im komoko gitungene e bungu. Nodhi mokawo im kendo ochiwo kaka misango miwangʼo pep kar wuode.
14 Abraham named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’. And to the present day, people say, “On Yahweh’s mountain, he will provide.”
Omiyo Ibrahim nochako kanyo ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Jachiwo kendo nyaka chil kawuono iwacho niya, “E God Jehova Nyasaye ema nochiwe.”
15 The angel [who was really Yahweh] called out to Abraham from heaven a second time.
Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nochako luongo Ibrahim gie polo,
16 He said, “I, Yahweh your Lord, am telling you that you did what I told you, and you have not refused to sacrifice your only son [that is with you]. So I say, ‘I solemnly swear, with myself as my witness,
mi Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon, ni nikech isetimona ma kendo ok isetama e wuodi ma miderma,
17 that some day your descendants will be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the seashore. And your descendants will defeat their enemies and capture their cities [SYN].’
abiro gwedhi adier kendo anami nyikwayi bed mangʼeny ka sulwe mae polo kendo ka kuoyo manie dho nam. Nyikwayi nokaw mier mag jowasikgi mondo obed margi,
18 You obeyed me, so by means of your descendants the people of all the nations on the earth will be blessed.”
kendo ogendini duto manie piny nogwedhi kokalo e kothi, nikech isewinjo wachna.”
19 Then Abraham and Isaac returned to where his servants were waiting, and they went back home together to Beersheba, and Abraham stayed there.
Eka Ibrahim nodok ir jotije, kendo giduto negiwuok ka gidok Bersheba. Kendo Ibrahim nodak Bersheba.
20 After these things happened, someone told Abraham, “Your brother Nahor’s wife, Milcah, has also given birth to children. She has eight sons.”
Bangʼ kinde moko, Ibrahim noyudo wach niya, “Milka bende koro osenywolone owadu Nahor yawuowi ma gin:
21 The oldest son was Uz. The next was Buz. After him was Kemuel, the father of Aram.
Uz wuowi makayo, Buz owadgi, Kemuel (wuon Aram),
22 After Kemuel was Kesad, then Hazo, then Pildash, then Jidlaph, then Bethuel,
Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaf kod Bethuel.”
23 who was the father of Rebekah, [who later became Isaac’s wife]. Those were the eight sons of Milcah, wife of Abraham’s brother, Nahor.
Bethuel nonywolo Rebeka. Yawuowi aborogo ema Milka nonywolone Nahor owadgi Ibrahim.
24 Nahor also had a (concubine/female slave whom he took as a wife), whose name was Beumah. She gave birth to four sons: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
Jatichne ma nyako ma nyinge Reuma bende nonywolone yawuowi, ma gin: Teba, Gaham, Tahash kod Maaka.
