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.”
Nda dooꞌ sa ma, Lamatualain sobꞌa Abraham, nae mete ana rena Eni, do hokoꞌ. De Lamatualain noꞌe e nae, “Abraham!” Abraham nataa nae, “Ia, Lamatualain.”
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.”
Lamatualain denu e nae, “Rena malolole! Haꞌi mala ana mone ise ma, fo ho sueꞌ a. Mendi e nisiꞌ rae Moria, fo tao e dadꞌi tutunu-hohotuꞌ fee Au. Losa naa, dei fo Au feꞌe utudꞌu ho mamanaꞌ sia leteꞌ sa.”
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.
Mbila fefetu anan ma, Abraham tati hau ai. Ana futu hau naa ra, de fua neu banda keledei. Boe ma, ana no Isak ma ate nara rua, lao risiꞌ mamanaꞌ fo Lamatualain nafadꞌe basa neu e.
4 On the third day of their travels, Abraham looked up and saw in the distance the place where God wanted him to go.
Ara lao-laoꞌ, boe ma finiesa na ma, Abraham nita mamanaꞌ naa mia dodꞌooꞌ.
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.”
Ana nafadꞌe ate karuaꞌ ra nae, “Hei ruꞌa nggi mihati ia dei, mo banda keledei ia. Au o ana ngga mii sia ataꞌ naa dei, mae beꞌutee neu Lamatualain. Basa fo, hai baliꞌ iaꞌ ima fai.”
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.
Boe ma Abraham haꞌi hau ai tutunu-hohotuꞌ, de fua neu Isak aru na. Ana o nendi memaꞌ dombe no hau ma ai. Ruꞌa se laoꞌ data-data ma,
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?”
Isak noꞌe ama na nae, “Amaꞌ!” Abraham nataa nae, “Taꞌo bee, Isak?” Ana natane nae, “Amaꞌ. Hita tae tunu tutunu-hohotuꞌ. Hau sia ena, ma ai o sia boe. Te bibꞌi lombo anaꞌ fo dadꞌi tutunu-hohotuꞌ a sia bee?”
8 Abraham replied, “My son, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering.” So the two of them continued walking along together.
Abraham nataa nae, “Ana ngge! Dei fo Lamatualain mana fee nggita bibꞌi lombo anaꞌ dadꞌi tutunu-hohotuꞌ.” De ruꞌa se lao rakandoo.
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.
Ara losa mamanaꞌ fo Lamatualain nafadꞌe basaꞌ a ma, Abraham lutu mbatu mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ a. Basa ma, ana naꞌalalangga hau ai neu ataꞌ. De ana paꞌa ana na, ma naꞌalelenggaꞌ e neu hau ai ra ata.
10 Then Abraham took the knife and reached out to kill his son.
Boe ma haꞌi nala dombe nae mbau nisa ana na.
11 But an angel [who was really Yahweh] called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” Abraham replied, “I’m here!”
Te aiboiꞌ ma, LAMATUALAIN ate na mia sorga nameli mia lalai nae, “We! Bram! Helafiꞌ dei!” Ana nataa nae, “Taꞌo bee?”
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].”
Boe ma haraꞌ naa nae, “Afiꞌ tao misa anaꞌ naa! Afiꞌ tao saa-saa neu e boe! Ia naa, Au bubꞌuluꞌ tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ ho tungga Au hihii Ngga, huu ho nau fee ana mone ise ma, fo dadꞌi tutunu-hohotu neu Lamatualain.”
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.
Basa ma, Abraham nita bibꞌi lombo moneꞌ esa sura na kadꞌoꞌ sia hau anaꞌ ra nggangge nara. Ana neu haꞌi bibꞌi lombo naa, de tunu dadꞌi tutunu-hohotuꞌ soaꞌ neu Lamatualain, nggati ana na.
14 Abraham named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’. And to the present day, people say, “On Yahweh’s mountain, he will provide.”
Naa de, Abraham babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa Yahova Yire, sosoa na ‘Dei fo, Lamatualain fee saa fo parluꞌ a.’ Losa ia, atahori o olaꞌ rae, “Sia LAMATUALAIN lete na ata, dei fo Ana fee saa fo parluꞌ a.”
15 The angel [who was really Yahweh] called out to Abraham from heaven a second time.
Basa ma Lamatualain ate Na nameli mia lalai nae,
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,
“LAMATUALAIN nafadꞌe ao Na nae, ‘Au sumba endiꞌ nara ngga, taꞌo ia: Ho nau fee ana mone ise ma neu Au, fo dadꞌi tutunu-hohotuꞌ. Naa de,
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].’
Au fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ nae na seli neu nggo ma tititi-nonosi mara. Dei fo ara boe ramahefu-ramabela losa atahori nda reken rala se sa, onaꞌ nduuꞌ sia lalai, ma saraꞌaeꞌ sia tasi suu na. Dei fo umbu-ana mara o rakalaꞌ musu nara boe.
18 You obeyed me, so by means of your descendants the people of all the nations on the earth will be blessed.”
Mia tititi-nonosi mara, basa leo mana sia raefafoꞌ ia hambu papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, huu ho tungga parenda Ngga ena.’”
19 Then Abraham and Isaac returned to where his servants were waiting, and they went back home together to Beersheba, and Abraham stayed there.
Basa ma, Abraham no Isak onda baliꞌ risiꞌ ate ka ruaꞌ ra, de baliꞌ Beer Syeba reu. Boe ma, Abraham se leo sia naa.
20 After these things happened, someone told Abraham, “Your brother Nahor’s wife, Milcah, has also given birth to children. She has eight sons.”
Lao esa, Abraham rena oi odꞌi na Nahor sao na Milka bꞌonggi ana nara ena.
21 The oldest son was Uz. The next was Buz. After him was Kemuel, the father of Aram.
Ana uluꞌ a, naran Us. Odꞌi na, naran Bus. Boe ma, Kemuel (ana dadꞌi Aram aman),
22 After Kemuel was Kesad, then Hazo, then Pildash, then Jidlaph, then Bethuel,
ma Kesed, Haso, Pildas, Yidlaf, no Betuel.
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.
Betuel ia, Ribka aman.
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.
Nahor o hambu seluꞌ anaꞌ mia sao tias na, naran Reuma. Ana bꞌonggi Teba, Gaham, Tahas, no Maaka.
