< Genesis 22 >
1 After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
Hekah olka a om phoeiah Pathen loh Abraham te a noemcai tih, “Abraham,” a ti nah hatah “Kai ni he ue,” a ti nah.
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.”
Te phoeiah, “Tahae ah na capa, na oingaih cangloeng, na lungnah Isaak te khuen lamtah Moriah khohmuen la namah cet laeh. Te phoeiah nang taengah ka thui bangla, tlang pakhat ah hmueihhlutnah la anih te pahoi nawn,” a ti nah.
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.
Te dongah Abraham te mincang ah thoo tih laak te a khih. Amah taengkah cadong panit neh a capa Isaak te a khuen tih hmueihhlutnah thing te a aeh. Te phoeiah thoo tih Pathen loh anih taengah a thuinuet nah hmuen la cet.
4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
A hnin thum dongah Abraham loh a mik a huel hatah khohla kah hmuen te a hmuh.
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.”
Te dongah Abraham loh cadong rhoi taengah, “Hiah laak neh namah poekah ana om uh dae. Kai neh camoe he kela ka cet rhoi vetih tho ka thueng rhoi phoeiah nangmih taengla ka bal rhoi ni,” a ti nah.
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.
Te vaengah Abraham loh hmueihhlutnah thing te a loh tih a capa Isaak a koh sak. Te phoeiah a kut dongah hmai neh tumcaca a khuen tih amamih rhoi te hmaih cet rhoi.
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?”
Te vaengah Isaak loh a napa Abraham te a voek tih, “A pa,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Ka ca kai ka om he,” a ti nah hatah, hmai neh thing om dae hmueihhlutnah ham tu ta he,” a ti nah.
8 Abraham said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went together.
Tedae Abraham loh, “Ka ca hmueihhlutnah ham tu te Pathen amah loh a hmuh bitni,” a ti nah tih amamih rhoi tah hmaih cet rhoi.
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.
Te phoeiah Pathen loh anih taengah a uen nah hmuen te a pha rhoi. Te dongah Abraham loh hmueihtuk pahoi a suem tih thing a hong thil phoeiah a capa Isaak te a pin tih hmueihtuk sokah thing so ah a tloeng.
10 Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
Te phoeiah a capa te ngawn ham Abraham loh a kut a yueng tih tumcaca a yueh.
11 The LORD’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
Tedae vaan lamkah BOEIPA puencawn loh anih te a khue tih, “Abraham, Abraham,” a ti nah vaengah “Kai ni he,” a ti nah.
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.”
Te vaengah, “Kai taeng lamkah na capa na oingaih cangloeng te na hloh pawt dongah na Pathen na rhih tila ka ming coeng. Te dongah camoe soah na kut hlah boel lamtah anih taengah ba khaw saii boeh,” a ti nah.
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.
Te dongah Abraham loh a mik a huel hatah a hnukkah kocak khuiah tutal a ki aka man te lawt a hmuh. Te dongah Abraham khaw cet tih tutal te a loh phoeiah a capa yueng ah hmueihhlutnah la a nawn.
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.”
Te dongah Abraham loh a hmuen ming te, “BOEIPA phoe,” tila a sui. “Tihnin ah BOEIPA loh tlang ah a phoe sak bitni,” a ti rhoe pai.
15 The LORD’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
Te phoeiah BOEIPA kah puencawn loh Abraham te vaan lamkah a pabae la a khue tih,
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,
“Hekah hno na saii vaengah na capa, na oingaih cangloeng te na hloh pawt dongah,
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.
nang yoethen khuikah yoethen rhep kan paek tih na tiingan te vaan kah aisi neh tuitunli palang laivin bangla ka pungtai rhoe ka pungtai sak ni. Te vaengah na tiingan loh a thunkha vongka te a pang ni.
18 All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, because you have obeyed my voice.’”
Te phoeiah kai ol te na ngai dongah nang kah tiingan rhang neh diklai namtom boeih loh a yoethen uh ni tila BOEIPA olphong neh kamah loh ka toemngam coeng,” a ti nah.
19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
Tedae cadong rhoi taengla Abraham a bal phoeikah aka thoo uh te Beersheba la tun a pawk uh dongah Abraham loh Beersheba ah kho a sak.
20 After these things, Abraham was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
Tahae kah olka a om phoeiah Abraham taengah,” Na manuca Nakhaw ham Milkah loh ca tongpa,
21 Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
A caming la Uz tih a mana Buz neh Aram napa Kemuel khaw,
22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
Kesed khaw, Hazo khaw, Pildash khaw, Jidlap neh Bethuel te khaw a sak van ne,” a ti nah uh tih a thui pah.
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
Te dongah Milkah loh Abraham kah a manuca Nakhaw ham tongpa parhet a sak pah. Rebekah he Bethuel loh a sak.
24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
Te phoeiah a yula, a ming ah Reumah loh Tebah, Gaham, Tahash neh Maakah a sak pah bal.
