Mose 1 22
1 Le ɣeyiɣi aɖe megbe la, Mawu do Abraham kpɔ. Eyɔe be, “Abraham!” Etɔ nɛ be, “Nyee nye esi.”
And it came to pass after these things that God tempted Abraam, and said to him, Abraam, Abraam; and he said, Behold! I [am here].
2 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.”
And he said, Take your son, the beloved one, whom you have loved—Isaac, and go into the high land, and offer him there for a whole burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.
3 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.
And Abraam rose up in the morning and saddled his ass, and he took with him two servants, and Isaac his son, and having split wood for a whole burnt offering, he arose and departed, and came to the place of which God spoke to him,
4 Le ŋkeke ene ƒe mɔzɔzɔ megbe la, Abraham kpɔ teƒe la le adzɔge ʋĩi.
on the third day; and Abraam having lifted up his eyes, saw the place afar off.
5 Egblɔ na ɖekakpuiawo be, “Minɔ afi sia kple tedzi la; nye kple Isak míayi ŋgɔ vie aɖado gbe ɖa. Míatrɔ agbɔ fifi laa.”
And Abraam said to his servants, Sit you here with the ass, and I and the lad will proceed thus far, and having worshipped we will return to you.
6 Abraham tsɔ vɔsanake la ɖo ta na Isak, eye eya ŋutɔ tsɔ hɛ la kple dzosinu ɖe asi. Ale wo ame eveawo dze mɔ.
And Abraam took the wood of the whole burnt offering, and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took into his hands both the fire and the knife, and the two went together.
7 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?”
And Isaac said to Abraam his father, Father. And he said, What is it, son? And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, where is the sheep for a whole burnt offering?
8 Abraham ɖo eŋu be, “Vinye, Mawu akpɔ ema gbɔ na mí hena vɔsa la.” Ale woyi mɔzɔzɔ la dzi.
And Abraam said, God will provide himself a sheep for a whole burnt offering, [my] son. And both having gone together,
9 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.
came to the place which God spoke of to him; and there Abraam built the altar, and laid the wood on it, and having bound the feet of Isaac his son together, he laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10 Abraham tsɔ eƒe hɛ be yeawu Isak.
And Abraam stretched forth his hand to take the knife to kill his son.
11 Le ɣe ma ɣi me tututu la, Yehowa ƒe dɔla aɖe do ɣli tso dziƒo be, “Abraham, Abraham!” Abraham tɔ be, “Nyee nye esi.”
And an angel of the Lord called him out of heaven, and said, Abraam, Abraam. And he said, Behold, I [am here].
12 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.”
And he said, Lay not your hand upon the child, neither do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, and for my sake you have not spared your beloved son.
13 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.
And Abraam lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold! a ram caught by his horns in a plant of Sabec; and Abraam went and took the ram, and offered him up for a whole burnt offering in the place of Isaac his son.
14 Abraham na ŋkɔ teƒe la be, “Yehowa naa nu,” eye ŋkɔ sia tsi eŋu va se ɖe egbe.
And Abraam called the name of that place, The Lord has seen; that they might say today, In the mount the Lord was seen.
15 Yehowa ƒe dɔla la gayɔ Abraham tso dziƒo,
And an angel of the Lord called Abraam the second time out of heaven, saying, I have sworn by myself, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and on my account have not spared your beloved son,
16 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,
surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is by the shore of the sea, and your seed shall inherit the cities of their enemies.
17 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,
And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have listened to my voice.
18 eye woanye yayra na dukɔwo katã le anyigba dzi. Esiawo katã ava eme, elabena èɖo tom.”
And Abraam returned to his servants, and they arose and went together to the well of the oath; and Abraam lived at the well of the oath.
19 Ale Abraham gatrɔ va ɖekakpuiawo gbɔ, eye wogatrɔ yi Beerseba, eye Abraham nɔ Beerseba.
And it came to pass after these things, that it was reported to Abraam, saying, Behold, Melcha herself too has born sons to Nachor your brother,
20 Le ɣeyiɣi aɖe megbe la, wogblɔ na Abraham be, “Milka hã zu vinɔ, edzi viŋutsuwo na nɔviwò ŋutsu, Nahor.
Uz the firstborn, and Baux his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians, and Chazad, and
21 Uz nye via gbãtɔ, Buz dzɔ ɖe Uz yome, kplɔɖoae nye Kemuel (ame si nye Aram fofo).
Azav and Phaldes, and Jeldaph, and Bathuel, and Bathuel begot Rebecca;
22 Bubuawoe nye Kesed, Hazo, Pildas, Yidlaf kple Betuel.”
these are eight sons, which Melcha bore to Nachor the brother of Abraam.
23 Betuel nye Rebeka fofo. Milka dzi ŋutsuvi enyi siawo na Abraham nɔvi ŋutsu, Nahor.
And his concubine whose name was Rheuma, she also bore Tabec, and Taam, and Tochos, and Mocha.
24 Eƒe ahiãvi si ŋkɔe nye Reuna la hã dzi viŋutsu siawo: Teba, Gaham, Tahas kple Maaka nɛ.
