Kĩambĩrĩria 22
1 Thuutha wa maũndũ macio-rĩ, Ngai nĩageririe Iburahĩmu. Ngai akĩmwĩta atĩrĩ, “Iburahĩmu!” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ haha.”
And after these things God did proue Abraham, and said vnto him, Abraham. Who answered, Here am I.
2 Nake Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Oya mũriũ waku, o we ũrĩa wa mũmwe Isaaka, ũrĩa wendete, ũthiĩ rũgongo rwa Moria, na ũmũrute ta igongona rĩa njino kuo kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩmwe kĩa iria ngaakuonia.”
And he said, Take nowe thine onely sonne Izhak whom thou louest, and get thee vnto the land of Moriah, and offer him there for a burnt offering vpon one of the mountaines, which I will shewe thee.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ rũciinĩ tene, Iburahĩmu agĩũkĩra, agĩtandĩka ndigiri yake. Akĩoya ndungata ciake igĩrĩ na mũriũ wake Isaaka. Aarĩkia gwatũra ngũ cia kũigana igongona rĩa njino-rĩ, akiumagara erekeire handũ harĩa Ngai aamwĩrĩte.
Then Abraham rose vp early in the morning, and sadled his asse, and tooke two of his seruants with him, and Izhak his sonne, and cloue wood for the burnt offering, and rose vp and went to the place, which God had tolde him.
4 Mũthenya wa gatatũ, Iburahĩmu agĩtiira maitho na akĩona handũ hau harĩ o kũraya.
Then the third day Abraham lift vp his eyes, and sawe the place afarre off,
5 Akĩĩra ndungata ciake atĩrĩ, “Ikaragai haha na ndigiri ĩno, na niĩ na kĩmwana gĩakwa tũthiĩ haarĩa tũkahooe Ngai, na tũcooke tũmũcookerere.”
And said vnto his seruants, Abide you here with the asse: for I and the childe will go yonder and worship, and come againe vnto you.
6 Iburahĩmu agĩkĩoya ngũ icio cia igongona rĩa njino, agĩciigĩrĩra mũriũ wake Isaaka, nake agĩkuua mwaki na kahiũ. Na rĩrĩa o eerĩ mathiiaga hamwe,
Then Abraham tooke the wood of the burnt offering, and layed it vpon Izhak his sonne, and he tooke the fire in his hand, and the knife: and they went both together.
7 Isaaka akĩaria, agĩĩta ithe Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ, “Baba!” Iburahĩmu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ, mũrũ wakwa.” Isaaka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndĩrona tũrĩ na mwaki na ngũ! No rĩrĩ, gatũrũme ka igongona rĩa njino karĩ ha?”
Then spake Izhak vnto Abraham his father, and said, My father. And he answered, Here am I, my sonne. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, but where is the lambe for ye burnt offring?
8 Iburahĩmu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wakwa, Ngai we mwene nĩekũheana gatũrũme ka igongona rĩa njino.” Nao eerĩ magĩthiĩ na mbere marĩ hamwe.
Then Abraham answered, My sonne, God will prouide him a lambe for a burnt offering: so they went both together.
9 Maakinya handũ harĩa Ngai aamwĩrĩte-rĩ, Iburahĩmu agĩaka kĩgongona ho na akĩara ngũ igũrũ rĩakĩo. Agĩcooka akĩoha mũriũ wake Isaaka na akĩmũkomia kĩgongona-inĩ kĩu igũrũ rĩa ngũ.
And when they came to the place which God had shewed him, Abraham builded an altar there, and couched ye wood, and bound Izhak his sonne and laid him on the altar vpon the wood.
10 Ningĩ akĩoya kahiũ, agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake, oorage mũriũ.
And Abraham stretching forth his hand, tooke the knife to kill his sonne.
11 No mũraika wa Jehova akĩmwĩta kuuma igũrũ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Iburahĩmu! Iburahĩmu!” Nake Iburahĩmu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ haha.”
But the Angel of the Lord called vnto him from heauen, saying, Abraham, Abraham. And he answered, Here am I.
12 Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũkahutie kĩmwana kĩu na guoko gwaku, na ndũgagĩĩke ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ. Rĩu nĩndamenya atĩ nĩwĩtigĩrĩte Ngai, tondũ ndũnarega kũruta mũrũguo, o we mũrũguo waku wa mũmwe, arĩ igongona.”
Then he said, Lay not thine hand vpon the childe, neither doe any thing vnto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing for my sake thou hast not spared thine onely sonne.
13 Nake Iburahĩmu agĩtiira maitho, na hau kĩhinga-inĩ akĩona ndũrũme ĩnyiitĩtwo hĩa nĩ mĩrita. Agĩthiĩ ho, akĩoya ndũrũme ĩyo na akĩmĩruta ĩrĩ igongona rĩa njino handũ ha mũriũ.
And Abraham lifting vp his eyes, looked: and behold, there was a ramme behind him caught by the hornes in a bush. then Abraham went and tooke the ramme, and offered him vp for a burnt offering in the steade of his sonne.
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Iburahĩmu agĩĩta handũ hau Jehova-Nĩarĩheanaga. Na nginya ũmũthĩ kuugagwo atĩrĩ, “Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Jehova-rĩ, nĩarĩtũheaga.”
And Abraham called the name of that place, Iehouah-ijreh. as it is said this day, In the mount will the Lord be seene.
15 Nake mũraika wa Jehova arĩ igũrũ, agĩĩta Iburahĩmu hĩndĩ ya keerĩ,
And the Angel of the Lord cryed vnto Abraham from heauen the second time,
16 akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Nĩndĩhĩtĩte na niĩ mwene, atĩ tondũ nĩwĩkĩte ũndũ ũyũ na ndũnarega kũndutĩra mũrũguo, o mũrũguo waku wa mũmwe-rĩ,
And saide, By my selfe haue I sworne (saith ye Lord) because thou hast done this thing, and hast not spared thine onely sonne,
17 ti-itherũ nĩngakũrathima na ndũme njiaro ciaku cingĩhe ta njata cia matu-inĩ na ta mũthanga ũrĩa ũrĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria. Njiaro ciaku nĩ ikegwatĩra matũũra marĩa manene ma thũ ciacio,
Therefore will I surely blesse thee, and will greatly multiplie thy seede, as the starres of the heauen, and as the sand which is vpon the sea shore, and thy seede shall possesse the gate of his enemies.
18 na nĩ ũndũ wa rũciaro rwaku, ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia thĩ nĩikarathimwo, tondũ wee nĩũnjathĩkĩire.”
And in thy seede shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voyce.
19 Nake Iburahĩmu agĩcookerera ndungata ciake, magĩthiĩ hamwe marorete Birishiba. Nake Iburahĩmu agĩtũũra kũu Birishiba.
Then turned Abraham againe vnto his seruants, and they rose vp and went together to Beer-sheba: and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
20 Thuutha wa maũndũ macio Iburahĩmu agĩkinyĩrwo nĩ ũhoro, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Milika o nake nĩagĩĩte na ciana; nĩaciarĩire mũrũ-wa-nyũkwa Nahoru ciana:
And after these things one tolde Abraham, saying, Beholde Milcah, she hath also borne children vnto thy brother Nahor:
21 Uzu nĩwe wa irigithathi, na mũrũ wa nyina nĩ Buzu, na Kemueli (ithe wa Aramu),
To wit, Vz his eldest sonne, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 na Kesedu, na Hazo, na Pilidashu, na Jidilafu, na Bethueli.”
And Chesed and Hazo, and Pildash, and Iidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 Bethueli nĩwe watuĩkire ithe wa Rebeka. Acio nĩo ariũ arĩa anana Milika aaciarĩire Nahoru, mũrũ wa nyina na Iburahĩmu.
And Bethuel begate Rebekah: these eight did Milcah beare to Nahor Abrahams brother.
24 Thuriya yake, ĩrĩa yetagwo Reuma, o nayo yarĩ na ariũ ake, nĩo Teba, na Gahamu, na Tahashu na Maaka.
And his concubine called Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gahan, and Thahash and Maachah.
