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].
Nna bi akyi no, Onyankopɔn sɔɔ Abraham hwɛe. Ɔfrɛɛ Abraham se, “Abraham!” Abraham buae se, “Me ni!”
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.
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Fa wo ba, wo ba koro Isak a wodɔ no no kɔ Moria asase so, na fa no kɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ mmepɔw a ɛwɔ hɔ no mu baako a mɛkyerɛ wo no so.”
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.
Abraham sɔree anɔpatutuutu hyehyɛɛ nʼafurum. Ɔfaa ne nkoa no mu baanu ne ne ba Isak kaa ne ho. Otwitwaa ogya a ɛbɛso ɔhyew afɔre no bɔ no, osii mu kɔɔ faako a Onyankopɔn kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnkɔ no.
4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
Ne nnansa so no, Abraham too nʼani huu sɛ baabi a ɔrekɔ no wɔ akyirikyiri.
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.
Na Abraham ka kyerɛɛ ne nkoa no se, “Mo ne afurum no ntwɛn wɔ ha, na me ne abarimaa no nkɔ anim kakra nkɔsom. Sɛ yɛsom wie a, yɛbɛsan aba.”
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.
Abraham faa nnyina a wɔde rekɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre no de soaa ne ba Isak. Na ɔno nso faa ogya ne sekan kurae. Bere a wɔrekɔ no,
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?
Isak frɛɛ nʼagya Abraham se, “Agya!” Na Abraham buae se, “Me ba, asɛm bɛn?” Isak bisaa no se, “Ogya ne nnyina no ni, na oguamma a yɛde no rekɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre no wɔ he?”
8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt-offering: so they went both of them together.
Abraham buae se, “Onyankopɔn no ankasa bɛma yɛn afɔre guan no a yɛde rekɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre no.” Na wɔn baanu no toaa so kɔe.
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.
Wokoduu faako a Onyankopɔn kyerɛɛ no no, Abraham sii afɔremuka wɔ hɔ, hyehyɛɛ nnyina no wɔ so. Ɔkyekyeree ne ba Isak, de no too nnyina no so wɔ afɔremuka no so.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
Abraham twee sekan no, maa so sɛ ɔde rebetwa ne ba no mene akum no.
11 And the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Here [am] I.
Ɛhɔ ara na Awurade bɔfo frɛɛ no fi ɔsoro se, “Abraham! Abraham!” Na Abraham gyee so se, “Me ni.”
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].
Awurade bɔfo no kae se, “Mfa wo nsa nka abofra no. Nyɛ no bɔne biara. Esiane sɛ woamfa wo dɔba, wo ba koro no ankame me no nti, mahu sɛ wusuro Onyankopɔn.”
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.
Abraham maa nʼani so huu sɛ nkyɛkyerɛ bi aso Odwennini bi mmɛn mu wɔ wura no mu hɔ. Abraham kɔkyeree Odwennini no de no bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ afɔremuka no so sii ne ba no anan mu.
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.
Abraham too beae no din se Awurade De Bɛma. Ebesi nnɛ no wɔka se, “Wɔde bɛma wɔ Awurade bepɔw no so.”
15 And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven the second time,
Awurade bɔfo no frɛɛ Abraham fii ɔsoro nea ɛto so abien kae se,
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]:
“Maka me ho ntam se, esiane sɛ woayɛ eyi, na woamfa wo ba, wo ba koro no ankame me nti,
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;
hyira na mehyira wo na mama wʼase adɔ sɛ ɔsoro nsoromma ne mpoano nwea. Na wʼasefo begye wɔn atamfo nkuropɔn adi so.
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed: because thou hast obeyed my voice.
Wɔnam wʼasefo so na wobehyira wiase amanaman nyinaa, efisɛ woadi mʼasɛm so.”
19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
Na Abraham san kɔɔ nʼasomfo no nkyɛn ne wɔn sii mu kɔɔ Beer-Seba kɔtenaa hɔ.
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;
Nna bi akyi no, wɔka kyerɛɛ Abraham se, “Milka nso yɛ ɔbeatan a wawo mmabarima ama wo nuabarima Nahor:
21 Huz his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Us yɛ abakan, Us nuabarima a odi so ne Bus. Kemuel a ɔto so abiɛsa na ɔwoo Aram.
22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
Wɔn a wɔaka no ne Kesed, Haso, Pildas, Yidlaf ne Betuel.”
23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah bore to Nahor Abraham's brother.
Betuel bɛyɛɛ Rebeka nʼagya. Milka ne Abraham nua Nahor na wɔwowoo saa mmabarima baawɔtwe yi.
24 And his concubine, whose name [was] Reumah, she bore also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
Nahor ne ne mpena Rehuma nso woo mma baanan a wɔn din de, Teba, Gaham, Tahas ne Maaka.
