Genesis 22
1 It came about after these things that God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” Abraham said, “Here I am.”
Le ɣeyiɣi aɖe megbe la, Mawu do Abraham kpɔ. Eyɔe be, “Abraham!” Etɔ nɛ be, “Nyee nye esi.”
2 Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains there, which I will tell you about.”
Tete Mawu gblɔ be, “Kplɔ viwò ŋutsuvi ɖekɛ la, Isak, ame si gbɔ mèlɔ̃a nu le o la, ne miayi Moria nuto me. Tsɔe sa numevɔe le afi ma le toawo dometɔ ɖeka si mafia wò la dzi.”
3 So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, along with Isaac his son. He cut the wood for the burnt offering, then set out on his journey to the place that God had told him about.
Le fɔŋli la, Abraham dze nake hena dzododo ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi. Edo agba na eƒe tedzi, eye wòkplɔ via Isak kple ɖekakpui eve siwo nye eƒe subɔlawo la ɖe asi heɖo ta teƒe si Mawu gblɔ nɛ be wòayi la.
4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place afar off.
Le ŋkeke ene ƒe mɔzɔzɔ megbe la, Abraham kpɔ teƒe la le adzɔge ʋĩi.
5 Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there. We will worship and come again to you.”
Egblɔ na ɖekakpuiawo be, “Minɔ afi sia kple tedzi la; nye kple Isak míayi ŋgɔ vie aɖado gbe ɖa. Míatrɔ agbɔ fifi laa.”
6 Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on Isaac his son. He took in his own hand the fire and the knife; and they went both of them together.
Abraham tsɔ vɔsanake la ɖo ta na Isak, eye eya ŋutɔ tsɔ hɛ la kple dzosinu ɖe asi. Ale wo ame eveawo dze mɔ.
7 Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father,” and he said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “See, here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
Isak bia fofoa Abraham be, “Papa!” Eɖo eŋu nɛ bena “Nyee nye si, vinye!” Ke Isak bia be, “Nake kple dzosinu le mía si, ke afi ka agbo si míatsɔ asa vɔe ya le?”
8 Abraham said, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” So they went on, both of them together.
Abraham ɖo eŋu be, “Vinye, Mawu akpɔ ema gbɔ na mí hena vɔsa la.” Ale woyi mɔzɔzɔ la dzi.
9 When they came to the place that God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood on it. Then he bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
Esi woɖo teƒe si Mawu fia Abraham be wòayi la, Abraham ɖi vɔsamlekpui, eye wòɖo nakeawo ɖe edzi nyuie. Ebla Isak, eye wòkɔe mlɔ nakeawo dzi.
10 Abraham reached out with his hand and took up the knife to kill his son.
Abraham tsɔ eƒe hɛ be yeawu Isak.
11 Then the angel of Yahweh called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” and he said, “Here I am.”
Le ɣe ma ɣi me tututu la, Yehowa ƒe dɔla aɖe do ɣli tso dziƒo be, “Abraham, Abraham!” Abraham tɔ be, “Nyee nye esi.”
12 He said, “Do not lay your hand upon the lad, nor do anything to harm him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing that you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
Mawudɔla la gblɔ nɛ be, “Tsɔ hɛ la de aku me; mègawɔ nu vevi aɖeke ɖevi la o, elabena menya be Mawu xɔ teƒe gbãtɔ le wò agbenɔnɔ me; mèhe viwò lɔlɔ̃a gɔ̃ hã ɖe megbe tso gbɔnye o.”
13 Abraham looked up and behold, behind him was a ram caught in the bushes by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up as a burnt offering instead of his son.
Enumake Abraham kpɔ agbo aɖe si ƒe dzowo avekawo bla la le avekɔe aɖe me. Ale wòlé agbo la, eye wòtsɔe sa vɔe ɖe ɖevi la teƒe abe numevɔsa ene le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
14 So Abraham called that place, “Yahweh will provide,” and it is said to this day, “On the mountain of Yahweh it will be provided.”
Abraham na ŋkɔ teƒe la be, “Yehowa naa nu,” eye ŋkɔ sia tsi eŋu va se ɖe egbe.
15 The angel of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time from heaven
Yehowa ƒe dɔla la gayɔ Abraham tso dziƒo,
16 and said—this is Yahweh's declaration—by myself I have sworn that because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Nye, Yehowa, meka atam na wò le nye ŋkɔ dzi be esi nèɖo tom, eye mègbe viwò ŋutsuvi lɔlɔ̃a tsɔtsɔ nam o ta la,
17 I will surely bless you and I will greatly multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and your descendants will possess the gate of their enemies.
makɔ yayra manyagblɔwo ɖe dziwò, eye mana wò dzidzimeviwo nasɔ gbɔ fũu abe ɣletivi siwo le dziƒo alo ƒutake ene. Wò dzidzimeviwo aɖu woƒe futɔwo dzi,
18 Through your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.”
eye woanye yayra na dukɔwo katã le anyigba dzi. Esiawo katã ava eme, elabena èɖo tom.”
19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they departed and went together to Beersheba, and he lived at Beersheba.
Ale Abraham gatrɔ va ɖekakpuiawo gbɔ, eye wogatrɔ yi Beerseba, eye Abraham nɔ Beerseba.
20 It came about after these things that Abraham was told, “Milkah has borne children, as well, to your brother Nahor.”
Le ɣeyiɣi aɖe megbe la, wogblɔ na Abraham be, “Milka hã zu vinɔ, edzi viŋutsuwo na nɔviwò ŋutsu, Nahor.
21 They were Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
Uz nye via gbãtɔ, Buz dzɔ ɖe Uz yome, kplɔɖoae nye Kemuel (ame si nye Aram fofo).
22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
Bubuawoe nye Kesed, Hazo, Pildas, Yidlaf kple Betuel.”
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These were the eight children that Milkah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
Betuel nye Rebeka fofo. Milka dzi ŋutsuvi enyi siawo na Abraham nɔvi ŋutsu, Nahor.
24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
Eƒe ahiãvi si ŋkɔe nye Reuna la hã dzi viŋutsu siawo: Teba, Gaham, Tahas kple Maaka nɛ.
