Jenesis 22
1 Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, Chineke nwara Ebraham. Ọ sịrị ya, “Ebraham.” Ebraham zara sị, “Lekwa m.”
And it comes to pass after these things that God has tried Abraham and says to him, “Abraham”; and he says, “Here I [am].”
2 Chineke sịrị, “Duru nwa gị nwoke, naanị otu nwa gị nwoke, Aịzik onye ị hụrụ nʼanya, gaa nʼala Mọrịa. Jiri ya chụọrọ m aja nsure ọkụ nʼelu otu nʼime ugwu dị nʼebe m ga-egosi gị.”
And He says, “Now take your son, your only one, whom you have loved, even Isaac, and go for yourself to the land of Moriah, and cause him to ascend there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains of which I speak to you.”
3 Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, Ebraham biliri kwadoo ịnyịnya ibu ya. O duuru ndị ikom abụọ na-ejere ya ozi, na nwa ya nwoke Aịzik. O gbutere nkụ ga-ezuru ya ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ, bilie gawa ebe ahụ Chineke gwara ya maka ya.
And Abraham rises early in the morning, and saddles his donkey, and takes two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac, and he cleaves the wood of the burnt-offering, and rises and goes to the place of which God has spoken to him.
4 Nʼụbọchị nke atọ, Ebraham lepụrụ anya hụ ebe ahụ nʼebe dị anya.
On the third day—Abraham lifts up his eyes, and sees the place from afar;
5 Ọ gwara ndị na-ejere ya ozi sị, “Nọdụnụ nʼebe a, unu na ịnyịnya ibu anyị, ka mụ na nwokorobịa a gaa nʼebe ahụ. Anyị feecha ofufe, anyị ga-alọghachikwute unu ọzọ.”
and Abraham says to his young men, “Remain by yourselves here with the donkey, and I and the youth go over there and worship, and return to you.”
6 Ebraham boro nwa ya nwoke Aịzik ukwu nkụ ahụ e ji achụ aja nsure ọkụ nʼisi, ma ya onwe ya jidere ọkụ na mma.
And Abraham takes the wood of the burnt-offering, and places on his son Isaac, and he takes in his hand the fire, and the knife; and they go on both of them together.
7 Aịzik gwara nna ya Ebraham sị, “Nna m.” Ebraham zara, “Ehee, nwa m.” Aịzik sịrị, “Ọkụ na nkụ dị nʼebe a, olee nwa atụrụ e ji achụ aja nsure ọkụ?”
And Isaac speaks to his father Abraham and says, “My father,” and he says, “Here I [am], my son.” And he says, “Behold, the fire and the wood, and where the lamb for a burnt-offering?”
8 Ebraham zara, “Nwa m, Chineke nʼonwe ya ga-eweta nwa atụrụ e ji achụ aja nsure ọkụ.” Ha abụọ gakwara nʼihu nʼije ha.
And Abraham says, “God provides for Himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son”; and they go on both of them together.
9 Mgbe ha ruru ebe ahụ Chineke gwara ya maka ya, Ebraham wuru ebe ịchụ aja nʼebe ahụ, doo nkụ ndị ahụ niile nʼusoro nʼelu ya. O kere nwa ya Aịzik agbụ, tụkwasị ya nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja ahụ, na nʼelu nkụ ndị ahụ.
And they come to the place of which God has spoken to him, and there Abraham builds the altar, and arranges the wood, and binds his son Isaac, and places him on the altar above the wood;
10 Mgbe ahụ Ebraham setịpụrụ aka ya, welite mma ka o gbuo nwa ya nwoke.
and Abraham puts forth his hand, and takes the knife—to slaughter his son.
11 Ma mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị si nʼeluigwe kpọọ ya oku sị ya, “Ebraham! Ebraham!” Ebraham zara, “Lekwa m nʼebe a.”
And the Messenger of YHWH calls to him from the heavens and says, “Abraham, Abraham”; and he says, “Here I [am]”;
12 Ọ sịrị ya, “Emetụkwala nwokorobịa ahụ aka. Emekwala ya ihe ọbụla. Nʼihi na amatala m ugbu a na ị na-atụ egwu Chineke, ebe ọ bụ na i kwenyere iji nwa gị nwoke, naanị otu nwa nwoke i nwere chụọrọ m aja.”
and He says, “Do not put forth your hand to the youth, nor do anything to him, for now I have known that you are fearing God, and have not withheld your son, your only one, from Me.”
13 Ebraham leliri anya hụ otu ebule nke eriri ọhịa jidere na mpi ya. Ebraham gara jide ebule ahụ, were ya chụọ aja nsure ọkụ nʼọnọdụ nwa ya nwoke.
And Abraham lifts up his eyes, and looks, and behold, a ram behind, seized in a thicket by its horns; and Abraham goes, and takes the ram, and causes it to ascend for a burnt-offering instead of his son;
14 Ya mere, Ebraham kpọrọ ebe ahụ, “Onyenwe anyị ga-arọpụta.” Ya mere ruo taa a na-asị, “Nʼugwu Onyenwe anyị, a ga-arọpụta.”
and Abraham calls the name of that place “YHWH-Jireh,” because it is said this day in the mountain, “YHWH provides.”
15 Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼeluigwe kpọọ Ebraham oku nke ugboro abụọ,
And the Messenger of YHWH calls to Abraham a second time from the heavens,
16 sị, “Mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị, ji onwe m na-aṅụ iyi na-ekwupụta sị, ebe ọ bụ na i mere ihe dị otu a, na i kwenyere iji nwa gị nwoke, naanị otu nwoke i nwere chụọrọ m aja,
and says, “I have sworn by Myself—a declaration of YHWH—that because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one,
17 aga m agọzi gị nʼezie, mekwa ka ụmụ ụmụ gị mụbaa nʼọnụọgụgụ dịka kpakpando nke mbara eluigwe na dịka aja dị nʼọnụ mmiri osimiri. Ụmụ ụmụ gị ga-enwetara onwe ha ọnụ ụzọ ama ndị iro ha.
that blessing I bless you, and multiplying I multiply your seed as stars of the heavens, and as sand which [is] on the seashore; and your Seed possesses the gate of His enemies;
18 Sitekwa na mkpụrụ gị ka a ga-agọzikwa agbụrụ niile nọ nʼụwa, nʼihi na i rubeere m isi.”
and all nations of the earth have blessed themselves in your Seed, because you have listened to My voice.”
19 Emesịa, Ebraham laghachikwuru ndị na-ejere ya ozi. Ha niile laghachikwara Bịasheba. Ebraham birikwara na Bịasheba.
And Abraham turns back to his young men, and they rise and go together to Beer-Sheba; and Abraham dwells in Beer-Sheba.
20 Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, e ziri Ebraham ozi si ya, “Lee, Milka ya onwe ya amụkwaarala nwanne gị nwoke bụ Nahọ, ụmụ ndị ikom.
And it comes to pass after these things that it is declared to Abraham, saying, “Behold, Milcah has borne, even she, sons to your brother Nahor:
21 Aha ha bụ Uz, onye bụ ọkpara, na Buz nwanne ya, Kemuel bụ (nna Aram),
his firstborn Huz, and his brother Buz; and Kemuel father of Aram,
22 Kesed, Hazọ, Pildash, Jidlaf na Betuel.”
and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel;
23 Betuel mụrụ Ribeka. Milka mụtaara Nahọ, nwanne Ebraham ụmụ ndị ikom asatọ ndị a.
and Bethuel has begotten Rebekah”; Milcah has borne these eight to Nahor, Abraham’s brother;
24 Iko ya nwanyị, onye aha ya bụ Reuma, mụkwaara ya ụmụ ndị ikom. Ha bụ Teba, Gaham, Tahash na Maaka.
and his concubine, whose name [is] Reumah, she also has borne Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maachah.
