< 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.”
MAHOPE mai o ia mau mea, hoao mai la ke Akua ia Aberahama, i mai la ia ia, E Aberahama: i aku la kela, Eia no wau.
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.”
I mai la oia, E lawe aku oe i kau keiki i kau ponoi, ia Isaaka, i kau mea au e aloha nei, a e hele aku oe i ka aina o Moria; malaila oe e kaumaha aku ai ia ia i mohaikuni maluna o kekahi puu a'u e hoike aku ai ia oe.
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.
Ala ae la o Aberahama i kakahiaka nui, hoee aku la ia i ka noho maluna o kona hoki, kono pu ae la i na kanaka ui elua ona me ia, a me Isaaka kana keiki, kaka iho la i ka wahie no ka mohaikuni, ku ae la a hele aku la i kahi a ke Akua i i mai ai ia ia.
4 On the third day of their travels, Abraham looked up and saw in the distance the place where God wanted him to go.
I ke kolu o ka la alawa ae la na maka o Aberahama, a ike aku la ia wahi mamao aku.
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.”
I aku la o Aberahama i kona mau kanaka ui, E noho iho olua maanei me ka hoki, a hele no maua me ke keiki i o e hoomana ai; a hoi hou mai io olua nei.
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.
Lawe ae la o Aberahama i ka wahie no ka mohaikuni, a kau iho la maluna o kana keiki o Isaaka, lawe aku la ia i ke ahi, a me ka pahi ma kona lima, a haele pu aku la laua.
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?”
Olelo aku la o Isaaka i kona makuakane, ia Aberahama, E kuu makua: i mai la kela, Eia wan, e kuu keiki. I aku la ia, Eia ke ahi, a me ka wahie; auhea hoi ke keikihipa i mohaikuni?
8 Abraham replied, “My son, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering.” So the two of them continued walking along together.
I mai la o Aberahama, E kuu keiki, na ke Akua no e hoomakaukau i keikihipa nana i mohaikuni: a haele pu aku la laua.
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.
A hiki aku la laua i kahi a ke Akua i i mai ai ia ia; hana iho la o Aberahama i kuahu ilaila, kau pono aku la i ka wahie maluna, hikii iho la ia i kana keiki ia Isaaka, a kau aku la ia ia ma ke kuahu maluna o ka wahie.
10 Then Abraham took the knife and reached out to kill his son.
O aku la ko Aberahama lima, a lalau i ka pahi e pepehi i kana keiki.
11 But an angel [who was really Yahweh] called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” Abraham replied, “I’m here!”
Kahea mai la ka anela o Iehova mai ka lani mai, i mai la, E Aberahama! e Aberahama! I aku la kela, Eia wau.
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].”
I mai la ia, Mai kau aku oe i kou lima maluna o ke keiki, aole hoi e mea iki aku ia ia: no ka mea, ke ike nei au, ua makau oe i ke Akua: no ka mea, aole oe i aua i kau keiki, i kau keiki ponoi ia'u.
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.
Alawa ae la na maka o Aberahama iluna, ike aku la, aia hoi, ma kona kua he hipakane, ua hihia kona pepeiaohao i ka nahelehele: hele aku la o Aberahama, lalau aku la i ua hipakane la, a kaumaha aku la ia ia i mohaikuni, i kala no kana keiki.
14 Abraham named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’. And to the present day, people say, “On Yahweh’s mountain, he will provide.”
Kapa aku la o Aberahama i ka inoa o ia wahi, O Iehova-iire: me ia i oleloia mai ai a hiki i keia la, Ma ka mauna o Iehova e hoomakaukauia'i.
15 The angel [who was really Yahweh] called out to Abraham from heaven a second time.
Kahea hou mai la ka anela o Iehova ia Aberahama mai ka lani mai,
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,
I mai la, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, Ma o'u nei au i hoohiki iho ai, no kau hana ana i keia mea, aole hoi i aua i kau keiki, i kau keiki ponoi;
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].’
E hoopomaikai nui aku no au ia oe, a e hoonui loa aku hoi au i kau poe mamo e like me na hoku o ka lani, a me na one ma kahakai; a e lilo auanei i kau poe mamo ka ipuka o kona poe enemi:
18 You obeyed me, so by means of your descendants the people of all the nations on the earth will be blessed.”
A ma kou mamo e hoopomaikaiia'i na lahuikanaka a pau o ka honua; no ka mea, ua hoolohe mai oe i ko'u leo.
19 Then Abraham and Isaac returned to where his servants were waiting, and they went back home together to Beersheba, and Abraham stayed there.
Hoi hou aku la o Aberahama i kona mau kanaka ui, ku ae la laua a hele pu aku la i Beereseba: a noho iho la o Aberahama i Beereseba.
20 After these things happened, someone told Abraham, “Your brother Nahor’s wife, Milcah, has also given birth to children. She has eight sons.”
Mahope mai o ia mau mea, haiia mai ia Aberahama, i ka i ana mai, Aia hoi, o Mileka, ua hanau no hoi oia i na keiki na kou kaikuaana na Nahora;
21 The oldest son was Uz. The next was Buz. After him was Kemuel, the father of Aram.
O Huza kana hiapo, o Buza kona kaikaina, a o Kemuela ka makuakane o Arama,
22 After Kemuel was Kesad, then Hazo, then Pildash, then Jidlaph, then Bethuel,
O Keseda, a o Hazo, a o Piledasa, a o Iidelapa, a o Betuela.
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.
Na Betuela o Rebeka: o keia mau mea ewalu ka Mileka i hanau ai na Nahora ke kaikuaana o Aberahama.
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.
Na kana haiawahine hoi, o Reuma kona inoa, nana hoi i hanau mai o Teba, o Gehama, o Tahasa, a o Maaka.
