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.”
Nangyari na pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito na sinubok ng Diyos si Abraham. Sinabi niya sa kanya, “Abraham!” Sumagot si Abraham, “Narito ako.”
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.”
Pagkatapos sinabi ng Diyos, “Kunin mo ang iyong anak, ang kaisa-isa mong anak, na iyong minamahal, si Isaac, at pumunta ka sa lupain ng Moria. Ialay mo siya roon bilang handog na susunugin sa ibabaw ng isa sa mga bundok na ituturo ko sa iyo.”
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.
Kaya maagang bumangon kinaumagahan si Abraham, inihanda ang kanyang asno, at isinama ang dalawa sa kanyang mga kabataang lalaki, kasama si Isaac na kanyang anak. Nagsibak siya ng kahoy para sa handog na susunugin, at naglakbay patungo sa lugar na sinabi ng Diyos sa kanya.
4 On the third day of their travels, Abraham looked up and saw in the distance the place where God wanted him to go.
Sa ikatlong araw, tumingala si Abraham at natanaw niya ang lugar sa kalayuan.
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.”
Sinabi ni Abraham sa kanyang mga kabataang lalaki, “Manatili kayo rito kasama ang asno, at pupunta ako roon kasama ang bata. Sasamba kami at muling babalik sa inyo.”
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.
Pagkatapos kinuha ni Abraham ang kahoy para sa handog na susunugin at ipinapasan ito kay Isaac na kanyang anak. Dinala niya sa kanyang kamay ang apoy at ang kutsilyo; at kapwa silang umalis na magkasama.
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?”
Kinausap ni Isaac si Abraham na kaniyang ama at sinabing, “Aking ama,” at sumagot si Abraham, “Narito ako, aking anak.” Sinabi niya, “Narito, ang apoy at ang kahoy, ngunit nasaan ang tupa para sa handog na susunugin?”
8 Abraham replied, “My son, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering.” So the two of them continued walking along together.
Sinabi ni Abraham, “Ang Diyos mismo ang magbibigay ng tupa para sa handog na susunugin, aking anak.” Kaya sila ay nagpatuloy nang magkasama.
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.
Nang dumating sila sa lugar na sinabi ng Diyos sa kanya, gumawa si Abraham ng isang altar at inilatag niya ang kahoy dito. Pagkatapos tinalian ni Abraham si Isaac na kanyang anak, at inilagay niya ito sa altar, sa ibabaw ng kahoy.
10 Then Abraham took the knife and reached out to kill his son.
Iniunat ni Abraham ang kanyang kamay na hawak ang kutsilyo para patayin ang kanyang anak.
11 But an angel [who was really Yahweh] called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” Abraham replied, “I’m here!”
Pero tinawag siya ng anghel ni Yahweh mula sa langit at sinabing, “Abraham, Abraham!” at sinabi niya, “Narito ako.”
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].”
Sinabi niya, “Huwag mong pagbuhatan ng kamay, ni gumawa ng anuman para saktan siya, sapagkat ngayon alam kong may takot ka sa Diyos, nakikita kong hindi mo ipinagkait ang iyong anak, ang iyong kaisa-isang anak na si Isaac sa akin.
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.
Tumingala si Abraham nang biglang, may isang tupa sa likuran niya ang sumabit ang sungay sa mga halaman. Pinuntahan at kinuha ni Abraham ang tupa at inalay ito bilang handog na susunugin sa Diyos sa halip na ang kanyang anak.
14 Abraham named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’. And to the present day, people say, “On Yahweh’s mountain, he will provide.”
Kaya tinawag ni Abraham ang lugar na iyon na, “Si Yahweh ang magbibigay,” at tinatwag din hanggang sa araw na ito, “Sa bundok ni Yaweh, ito ay ibibigay.”
15 The angel [who was really Yahweh] called out to Abraham from heaven a second time.
Tinawag ng anghel ni Yahweh si Abraham sa ikalawang pagkakataon mula sa langit
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,
at sinabing—ito ay isang kapahayagan mula kay Yahweh, “Nangangako ako sa aking sarili na dahil ginawa mo ang bagay na ito, at dahil hindi mo ipinagkait ang iyong anak, ang iyong kaisa-isang anak,
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].’
tiyak na pagpapalain kita at labis kong pararamihin ang iyong mga kaapu-apuhan gaya ng bituin sa kalangitan, at gaya ng buhangin sa dalampasigan; at aangkinin ng iyong mga kaapu-apuhan ang tarangkahan ng kanilang mga kaaway.
18 You obeyed me, so by means of your descendants the people of all the nations on the earth will be blessed.”
Sa pamamagitan ng iyong anak, ang lahat ng mga bansa sa mundo ay pagpapalain, dahil sinunod mo ang aking tinig.
19 Then Abraham and Isaac returned to where his servants were waiting, and they went back home together to Beersheba, and Abraham stayed there.
Kaya bumalik si Abraham sa kanyang mga tauhan, at umalis sila at magkakasamang pumunta sa Beer-seba, at nanirahan siya sa Beer-seba.
20 After these things happened, someone told Abraham, “Your brother Nahor’s wife, Milcah, has also given birth to children. She has eight sons.”
Nangyari na pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito, sinabihan si Abraham, “Nagkaroon din ng mga anak si Milca, sa iyong kapatid na si Nahor.
21 The oldest son was Uz. The next was Buz. After him was Kemuel, the father of Aram.
Sila ay sina Hus ang kanyang panganay, si Buz na kapatid niya, si Kemuel na ama ni Aram,
22 After Kemuel was Kesad, then Hazo, then Pildash, then Jidlaph, then Bethuel,
Kesed, Hazo, Pildas, Jidlaf, at 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.
Si Bethuel ay naging ama ni Rebeca. May walong anak na isinilang si Milca kay Nahor, na kapatid ni Abraham.
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.
Nagsilang din si Reumah ang pangalan ng isa pang asawa ni Nahor, sina Tebah, Gaham, Tahas at Maaca.
