Genesis 22
1 After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
Le ɣeyiɣi aɖe megbe la, Mawu do Abraham kpɔ. Eyɔe be, “Abraham!” Etɔ nɛ be, “Nyee nye esi.”
2 He said, “Now take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.”
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 Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey; and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
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 lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far 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. The boy and I will go over there. We will worship, and come back 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 Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went 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?” He said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a 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 will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went together.
Abraham ɖo eŋu be, “Vinye, Mawu akpɔ ema gbɔ na mí hena vɔsa la.” Ale woyi mɔzɔzɔ la dzi.
9 They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on 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 stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
Abraham tsɔ eƒe hɛ be yeawu Isak.
11 The LORD’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” 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, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since 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 lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for 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 Abraham called the name of that place “The LORD Will Provide”. As it is said to this day, “On the LORD’s mountain, it will be provided.”
Abraham na ŋkɔ teƒe la be, “Yehowa naa nu,” eye ŋkɔ sia tsi eŋu va se ɖe egbe.
15 The LORD’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
Yehowa ƒe dɔla la gayɔ Abraham tso dziƒo,
16 and said, “‘I have sworn by myself,’ says the LORD, ‘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 that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gate of his 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 All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, 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 rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
Ale Abraham gatrɔ va ɖekakpuiawo gbɔ, eye wogatrɔ yi Beerseba, eye Abraham nɔ Beerseba.
20 After these things, Abraham was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
Le ɣeyiɣi aɖe megbe la, wogblɔ na Abraham be, “Milka hã zu vinɔ, edzi viŋutsuwo na nɔviwò ŋutsu, Nahor.
21 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 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
Bubuawoe nye Kesed, Hazo, Pildas, Yidlaf kple Betuel.”
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah 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.
