Kinohi 22
1 MAHOPE mai o ia mau mea, hoao mai la ke Akua ia Aberahama, i mai la ia ia, E Aberahama: i aku la kela, Eia no wau.
Emva kwesikhathi esithile uNkulunkulu walinga u-Abhrahama. Wathi kuye, “Abhrahama!” Waphendula wathi, “Ngilapha.”
2 I mai la oia, E lawe aku oe i kau keiki i kau ponoi, ia Isaaka, i kau mea au e aloha nei, a e hele aku oe i ka aina o Moria; malaila oe e kaumaha aku ai ia ia i mohaikuni maluna o kekahi puu a'u e hoike aku ai ia oe.
UNkulunkulu wasesithi, “Thatha indodana yakho, indodana yakho eyiyo yodwa, u-Isaka, omthandayo, uye emangweni waseMoriya. Khonapho menze umhlatshelo abe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa phezu kwenye yezintaba engizakutshengisa yona.”
3 Ala ae la o Aberahama i kakahiaka nui, hoee aku la ia i ka noho maluna o kona hoki, kono pu ae la i na kanaka ui elua ona me ia, a me Isaaka kana keiki, kaka iho la i ka wahie no ka mohaikuni, ku ae la a hele aku la i kahi a ke Akua i i mai ai ia ia.
Kusisa ekuseni kakhulu u-Abhrahama wavuka wabopha ubabhemi wakhe. Wahamba lezinceku zakhe ezimbili kanye lendodana yakhe u-Isaka. Kwathi esegamule inkuni ezaneleyo zomnikelo wokutshiswa, waqhubeka waya kuleyondawo uNkulunkulu ayemtshele yona.
4 I ke kolu o ka la alawa ae la na maka o Aberahama, a ike aku la ia wahi mamao aku.
Ngelanga lesithathu u-Abhrahama wakhangela, wayibona leyondawo kude le.
5 I aku la o Aberahama i kona mau kanaka ui, E noho iho olua maanei me ka hoki, a hele no maua me ke keiki i o e hoomana ai; a hoi hou mai io olua nei.
Wathi ezincekwini zakhe, “Hlalani lapha lobabhemi, mina lomfana sisake siye laphayana. Sizakuthi singakhonza sibuye kini.”
6 Lawe ae la o Aberahama i ka wahie no ka mohaikuni, a kau iho la maluna o kana keiki o Isaaka, lawe aku la ia i ke ahi, a me ka pahi ma kona lima, a haele pu aku la laua.
U-Abhrahama wathatha inkuni zomnikelo wokutshiswa wazithwalisa umntanakhe u-Isaka, yena ngokwakhe waphatha umlilo lengqamu. Kwathi belokhu beqhubeka bobabili,
7 Olelo aku la o Isaaka i kona makuakane, ia Aberahama, E kuu makua: i mai la kela, Eia wan, e kuu keiki. I aku la ia, Eia ke ahi, a me ka wahie; auhea hoi ke keikihipa i mohaikuni?
u-Isaka wakhuluma wambuza uyise u-Abhrahama wathi, “Baba?” U-Abhrahama wasabela wathi, “Yebo, ndodana yami!” U-Isaka wathi, “Umlilo lenkuni nanku kukhona, kodwa iwundlu lomnikelo wokutshiswa lingaphi?”
8 I mai la o Aberahama, E kuu keiki, na ke Akua no e hoomakaukau i keikihipa nana i mohaikuni: a haele pu aku la laua.
U-Abhrahama waphendula wathi, “Ndodana yami, uNkulunkulu ngokwakhe uzasipha iwundlu lomnikelo wokutshiswa.” Baqhubeka bobabili bahamba.
9 A hiki aku la laua i kahi a ke Akua i i mai ai ia ia; hana iho la o Aberahama i kuahu ilaila, kau pono aku la i ka wahie maluna, hikii iho la ia i kana keiki ia Isaaka, a kau aku la ia ia ma ke kuahu maluna o ka wahie.
Sebefikile endaweni uNkulunkulu amtshela yona, u-Abhrahama wakha i-Alithari khonapho walungisa inkuni phezu kwalo. Wabopha indodana yakhe u-Isaka wayilalisa e-alithareni phezu kwenkuni.
10 O aku la ko Aberahama lima, a lalau i ka pahi e pepehi i kana keiki.
Waseselula isandla sakhe ethatha ingqamu ukuba abulale indodana yakhe.
11 Kahea mai la ka anela o Iehova mai ka lani mai, i mai la, E Aberahama! e Aberahama! I aku la kela, Eia wau.
Kodwa ingilosi kaThixo yamemeza isezulwini yathi, “Abhrahama! Abhrahama!” Waphendula wathi, “Ngilapha.”
12 I mai la ia, Mai kau aku oe i kou lima maluna o ke keiki, aole hoi e mea iki aku ia ia: no ka mea, ke ike nei au, ua makau oe i ke Akua: no ka mea, aole oe i aua i kau keiki, i kau keiki ponoi ia'u.
Yathi, “Ungamthinti ngesandla sakho umfana. Ungenzi lutho kuye. Khathesi sengisazi ukuthi uyamesaba uNkulunkulu, ngoba kawuyigodlanga indodana yakho eyiyo yodwa.”
13 Alawa ae la na maka o Aberahama iluna, ike aku la, aia hoi, ma kona kua he hipakane, ua hihia kona pepeiaohao i ka nahelehele: hele aku la o Aberahama, lalau aku la i ua hipakane la, a kaumaha aku la ia ia i mohaikuni, i kala no kana keiki.
U-Abhrahama wathi uyakhangela wabona inqama esixukwini ibanjwe ngempondo zayo. Waya khona wayithatha inqama wenza umhlatshelo womnikelo wokutshiswa esikhundleni sendodana yakhe.
14 Kapa aku la o Aberahama i ka inoa o ia wahi, O Iehova-iire: me ia i oleloia mai ai a hiki i keia la, Ma ka mauna o Iehova e hoomakaukauia'i.
Yikho u-Abhrahama wabiza indawo leyo ngokuthi uThixo Uzakupha. Kuze kube lamuhla kuthiwa, “Entabeni kaThixo kuzaphiwa.”
15 Kahea hou mai la ka anela o Iehova ia Aberahama mai ka lani mai,
Ingilosi kaThixo yabiza u-Abhrahama isezulwini ngokwesibili
16 I mai la, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, Ma o'u nei au i hoohiki iho ai, no kau hana ana i keia mea, aole hoi i aua i kau keiki, i kau keiki ponoi;
yathi, “Ngifunga ngami uqobo, kutsho uThixo, ukuthi ngenxa yokuthi ukwenzile lokhu, kawaze wayigodla indodana yakho eyiyo yodwa,
17 E hoopomaikai nui aku no au ia oe, a e hoonui loa aku hoi au i kau poe mamo e like me na hoku o ka lani, a me na one ma kahakai; a e lilo auanei i kau poe mamo ka ipuka o kona poe enemi:
ngempela ngizakubusisa ngenze izizukulwane zakho zibe zinengi njengezinkanyezi emkhathini lanjengetshebetshebe okhunjini lolwandle. Izizukulwane zakho zizawathatha amadolobho ezitha zazo,
18 A ma kou mamo e hoopomaikaiia'i na lahuikanaka a pau o ka honua; no ka mea, ua hoolohe mai oe i ko'u leo.
kuthi ngenzalo yakho zonke izizwe zomhlaba zizabusiswa, ngoba ungilalele.”
19 Hoi hou aku la o Aberahama i kona mau kanaka ui, ku ae la laua a hele pu aku la i Beereseba: a noho iho la o Aberahama i Beereseba.
Emva kwalokho u-Abhrahama wabuyela ezincekwini zakhe, basebehamba bonke eBherishebha. U-Abhrahama wahlala eBherishebha.
20 Mahope mai o ia mau mea, haiia mai ia Aberahama, i ka i ana mai, Aia hoi, o Mileka, ua hanau no hoi oia i na keiki na kou kaikuaana na Nahora;
Emva kwesikhathi esithile u-Abhrahama watshelwa ukuthi, “UMilikha laye uselabantwana; sewazalela umfowenu uNahori amadodana:
21 O Huza kana hiapo, o Buza kona kaikaina, a o Kemuela ka makuakane o Arama,
u-Uzi izibulo, uBhuzi umfowabo, uKhemuweli (uyise ka-Aramu),
22 O Keseda, a o Hazo, a o Piledasa, a o Iidelapa, a o Betuela.
uKhesedi, uHazo, uPhilidashi, uJidilafu loBhethuweli.”
23 Na Betuela o Rebeka: o keia mau mea ewalu ka Mileka i hanau ai na Nahora ke kaikuaana o Aberahama.
UBhethuweli wazala uRabheka. UMilikha wazala amadodana la ayisificaminwembili loNahori umfowabo ka-Abhrahama.
24 Na kana haiawahine hoi, o Reuma kona inoa, nana hoi i hanau mai o Teba, o Gehama, o Tahasa, a o Maaka.
Umfazi wakhe omncane owayethiwa nguRewuma laye wayelamadodana la: uThebha, uGahamu, uThahashi kanye loMahakha.
