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.”
Ary rehefa afaka izany zavatra izany, dia nizahan’ Andriamanitra toetra Abrahama, ka hoy Izy taminy: Ry Abrahama ô! ary hoy izy; Inty aho.
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.”
Ary hoy Izy: Ento ny zanakao, ny lahitokanao izay tianao, dia Isaka ka mankanesa any amin’ ny tany Moria; ary atero any izy ho fanatitra dorana ao amin’ ny tendrombohitra anankiray izay holazaiko aminao.
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.
Ary nifoha maraina koa Abrahama dia nanisy lasely ny borikiny ka nitondra zatovony roa lahy koa niaraka taminy sy Isaka zanany ary namaky ny hazo hataina amin’ ny fanatitra dorana izy dia niainga ka nankany amin’ ny tany izay efa nolazain’ Andriamanitra taminy,
4 On the third day of their travels, Abraham looked up and saw in the distance the place where God wanted him to go.
Nony tamin’ ny andro fahatelo Abrahama dia nanopy ny masony ka nahatazana ny tany terỳ lavitra erỳ.
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.”
Ary hoy Abrahama tamin’ ny zatovony: Mijanòna eto amin’ ny boriky ianareo, fa izaho sy ny zazalahy handeha hankerỳ; ary hivavaka izahay dia hiverina eto aminareo indray.
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.
Dia nalain’ i Abrahama ny hazo hataina amin’ ny fanatitra dorana ka natataony an’ Isaka zanany; fa izy kosa nitondra ny afo sy ny antsy teny an-tànany; ary dia niara-nandeha izy mianaka.
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?”
Ary Isaka niteny tamin’ i Abrahama rainy ka nanao hoe: Ry ikaky ô! dia hoy izy: Inty aho, anaka. Ary hoy izy: Indreto ny afo sy ny kitay; fa aiza kosa izay ondry hatao fanatitra dorana?
8 Abraham replied, “My son, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering.” So the two of them continued walking along together.
Fa hoy Abrahama: Anaka. Andriamanitra no hahita izay ondry hatao fanatitra dorana; dia niara-nandeha izy mianaka.
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.
Ary rehefa tonga teo amin’ ny tany izay efa nolazain’ Andriamanitra taminy izy, dia nanorina ny alitara teo Abrahama ka nandahatra ny kitay; dia namatotra an’ i Isaka zanany izy ka nametraka azy tambonin’ ny alitara teo ambonin’ ny kitay.
10 Then Abraham took the knife and reached out to kill his son.
Ary Abrahama naninjitra ny tànany ka nandray ny antsy mba hamonoany ny zanany.
11 But an angel [who was really Yahweh] called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” Abraham replied, “I’m here!”
Fa niantso azy Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah tany an-danitra ka nanao hoe: Ry Abrahama, ry Abrahama ô! ary hoy kosa izy: Inty aho.
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].”
Dia hoy Izy: Aza maninjitra ny tananao amin’ ny zazalahy, ary aza maninona azy akory ianao; fa hitako izao fa matahotra an’ Andriamanitra ianao, ka tsy narovanao tamiko ny zanakao, dia ny lahitokanao.
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.
Ary Abrahama niherika nijery ka, indro, nisy ondrilahy teo ivohony, voasangazotry ny kirihitrala ny tandrony; dia lasa Abrahama ka naka ny ondrilahy ary nanatitra azy ho fanatitra dorana ho solon’ ny zanany.
14 Abraham named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’. And to the present day, people say, “On Yahweh’s mountain, he will provide.”
Ary ny anaran’ izany tany izany dia nataon’ i Abrahama hoe Jehovah-jire; dia izany no anaovana mandraka ankehitriny ny hoe: Any an-tendrombohitra no hisehoan’ i Jehovah.
15 The angel [who was really Yahweh] called out to Abraham from heaven a second time.
Dia niantso an’ i Abrahama fanindroany tany an-danitra Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah
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,
ka nanao hoe: Ny tenako no nianianako, hoy Jehovah: Satria nanao izany zavatra izany ianao ka tsy niaro ny zanakao, ilay lahitokanao,
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].’
dia hitahy anao tokoa Aho ary hahamaro dia hahamaro ny taranakao, ho tahaka ny kintana eny amin’ ny lanitra sy ho tahaka ny fasika izay any amoron-dranomasina; ary ny taranakao hahazo ny vavahadin’ ny fahavalony;
18 You obeyed me, so by means of your descendants the people of all the nations on the earth will be blessed.”
ary amin’ ny taranakao no hitahiana ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany, satria nanaiky ny teniko ianao.
19 Then Abraham and Isaac returned to where his servants were waiting, and they went back home together to Beersheba, and Abraham stayed there.
Ary Abrahama dia niverina nankeny amin’ ny zatovony; dia niainga izy ka niaraka nankany Beri-sheba; ary Abrahama dia nonina tany Beri-sheba.
20 After these things happened, someone told Abraham, “Your brother Nahor’s wife, Milcah, has also given birth to children. She has eight sons.”
Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nisy nanambara tamin’ i Abrahama hoe: Indro, efa niteraka zazalahy koa Milka tamin’ i Nahora rahalahinao,
21 The oldest son was Uz. The next was Buz. After him was Kemuel, the father of Aram.
dia Oza lahimatoany sy Boza lahiaivo ary Kemoela, rain’ i Arama,
22 After Kemuel was Kesad, then Hazo, then Pildash, then Jidlaph, then Bethuel,
ary Kaseda sy Hazo sy Pildasy sy Jidiafa ary Betoela.
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.
Ary Betoela niteraka an-dRebeka. Ireo valo ireo no naterak’ i Milka tamin’ i Nahora, rahalahin’ i Abrahama.
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.
Ary ny vaditsindranony, izay atao hoe Reoma, izy koa dia niteraka an’ i Teba sy Gahama sy Tahasy ary Meaka.
