Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God tempted Abraham, and said to him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, [here] I [am].
Awo oluvannyuma lw’ebyo, Katonda n’agezesa Ibulayimu, n’amuyita nti, “Ibulayimu!” N’addamu nti, “Nze nzuuno.”
2 And he said, Take now thy son, thy only [son] Isaac, whom thou lovest, and go into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I will name to thee.
Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Twala mutabani wo, mutabani wo omu yekka, Isaaka, gw’oyagala, ogende mu nsi Moliya ku lumu ku nsozi lwe ndikulaga omuweereyo eyo okuba ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa.”
3 And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and cleft the wood for the burnt-offering, and rose and went to the place which God had named to him.
Ibulayimu n’agolokoka ku makya n’ateeka amatandiiko ku ndogoyi ye, n’atwala babiri ku baweereza be abasajja ne Isaaka mutabani we, n’ayasa enku ez’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, n’asituka n’agenda mu kifo Katonda kye yamugamba.
4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
Ku lunaku olwokusatu Ibulayimu n’ayimusa amaaso ge n’alengera ekifo.
5 And Abraham said to his young men, Abide you here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and return to you.
Awo Ibulayimu n’agamba balenzi be nti, “Musigale wano n’endogoyi, nze n’omulenzi tugende eri tusinze, tulyoke tukomewo.”
6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt-offering, and laid [it] upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife: and they went both of them together.
Ibulayimu n’addira enku ez’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa n’azitikka Isaaka mutabani we, ye n’akwata omuliro n’akambe, ne bagenda bombi.
7 And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, here [am] I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where [is] the lamb for a burnt-offering?
Isaaka n’agamba Ibulayimu nti, “Taata.” Ibulayimu n’amuddamu nti, “Nzuuno mwana wange.” Isaaka n’amubuuza nti, “Laba, omuliro n’enku biibino, naye omwana gw’endiga ogw’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa guluwa?”
8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt-offering: so they went both of them together.
Ibulayimu n’amuddamu nti, “Mwana wange, Katonda aneefunira omwana gw’endiga ogw’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa.” Kale ne bagenda bombi.
9 And they came to the place which God had named to him; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order; and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
Bwe baatuuka mu kifo Katonda kye yamugamba, Ibulayimu n’azimba ekyoto, n’atindikira enku, n’asiba omwana we Isaaka, n’amuteeka ku kyoto ku nku.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
Awo Ibulayimu n’akwata ekiso, n’agolola omukono gwe atte omwana we.
11 And the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Here [am] I.
Naye malayika wa Mukama n’amukoowoola ng’asinziira mu ggulu, n’agamba nti, “Ibulayimu! Ibulayimu!” Ibulayimu n’addamu nti, “Nze nzuuno.” N’amugamba nti,
12 And he said, Lay not thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing to him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld from me thy son, thy only [son].
“Togolola mukono gwo ku mulenzi so tomukola kintu na kimu, kubanga kaakano ntegedde nti otya Katonda, ndabye nti omwana wo tomunnyimye, omwana wo omu yekka bw’ati.”
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, behind [him] a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him for a burnt-offering in the stead of his son.
Awo Ibulayimu n’ayimusa amaaso, n’alaba, era laba, emabega we endiga ennume ng’eri mu kisaka ng’amayembe gaayo mwe galaalidde. Ibulayimu n’agenda n’addira endiga eyo n’agiwaayo okuba ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, mu kifo ky’omwana we.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said [to] this day, In the mount of the LORD it will be seen.
Ibulayimu kyeyava atuuma ekifo ekyo erinnya Mukama alitugabirira, era ne kaakano bwe kiyitibwa nti ku lusozi lwa Mukama anaagabiriranga.
15 And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven the second time,
Awo malayika wa Mukama n’ayita Ibulayimu omulundi ogwokubiri ng’asinziira mu ggulu,
16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thy only [son]:
n’amugamba nti, “Nze Mukama neerayiridde, nga bw’okoze kino, n’otonnyima mwana wo omu yekka bw’ati,
17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which [is] on the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
ddala ndikuwa omukisa, era ndyaza ezzadde lyo, ne liba ng’emmunyeenye ez’eggulu era ng’omusenyu oguli ku lubalama lw’ennyanja. Era ezzadde lyo balitwala eby’abalabe baabwe,
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed: because thou hast obeyed my voice.
era mu zzadde lyo amawanga gonna mwe galiweerwa omukisa, kubanga ogondedde eddoboozi lyange.”
19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
Ibulayimu n’alyoka addayo eri abavubuka be, ne basitula ne balaga e Beeruseba.
20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told to Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also borne children to thy brother Nahor;
Awo mu biro ebyo ne babuulira Ibulayimu nti, “Laba Mirika azaalidde Nakoli muganda wo abaana: Uzi ye mubereberye,
21 Huz his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
ne muto we ye Buzi, ne Kemweri kitaawe wa Alamu,
22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
ne Kesedi, ne Kazo, ne Pirudaasi, ne Yidulaafu ne Besweri.”
23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah bore to Nahor Abraham's brother.
Era Besweri yazaala Lebbeeka. Abaana abo omunaana Mirika be yazaalira Nakoli muganda wa Ibulayimu.
24 And his concubine, whose name [was] Reumah, she bore also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
Ate ne mukazi we omulala Lewuma n’azaalira Nakoli, abaana aboobulenzi era be bano: Teba, ne Gakamu, ne Takasi, ne Maaka.
