Ebandeli 22
1 Na sima na makambo wana, Nzambe amekaki Abrayami. Alobaki na ye: — Abrayami! Abrayami azongisaki: — Ngai oyo.
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 Nzambe alobaki na ye: — Zwa Izaki, mwana na yo ya mobali, mwana na yo se moko oyo olingaka; kende na mokili ya Morija, mpe kuna, okopesa Ngai ye lokola mbeka ya kotumba na likolo ya ngomba oyo nakolakisa yo.
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 Na tongo-tongo, Abrayami atelemaki mpe abongisaki ane na ye. Azwaki basali mibale kati na basali na ye, azwaki mpe Izaki, mwana na ye. Abukaki bakoni mpo na kotumba mbeka, atelemaki mpe akendeki na esika oyo Nzambe ayebisaki ye.
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 Na mokolo ya misato, Abrayami atombolaki miso na ye mpe amonaki esika yango na mosika.
on the third day; and Abraam having lifted up his eyes, saw the place afar off.
5 Bongo Abrayami ayebisaki basali na ye: « Botikala awa elongo na ane, wana ngai elongo na mwana tozali kokende kino kuna na likolo mpo na kogumbamela Nzambe; sima na yango, tokozongela bino. »
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 Abrayami azwaki bakoni ya kotumbela mbeka mpe amemisaki yango Izaki, mwana na ye; mpe ye moko amemaki moto mpe mbeli, bongo bango mibale bakendeki nzela moko.
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 Izaki atunaki Abrayami, tata na ye: — Tata na ngai! Abrayami azongisaki: — Ngai oyo! Izaki alobaki: — Tozali na moto mpe koni, kasi wapi mpate mpo na mbeka ya kotumba?
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 Abrayami azongisaki: — Mwana na ngai, Ye moko Nzambe akopesa mpate mpo na mbeka ya kotumba. Boye bango mibale bakendeki nzela moko.
And Abraam said, God will provide himself a sheep for a whole burnt offering, [my] son. And both having gone together,
9 Tango bakomaki na esika oyo Nzambe alakisaki ye, Abrayami atongaki etumbelo na esika yango mpe abongisaki bakoni na likolo na yango. Akangaki Izaki, mwana na ye ya mobali, basinga mpe alalisaki ye na etumbelo likolo ya bakoni.
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 Boye Abrayami azwaki mbeli mpe asembolaki loboko na ye mpo na koboma mwana na ye ya mobali.
And Abraam stretched forth his hand to take the knife to kill his son.
11 Kasi anjelu ya Yawe abengaki ye wuta na likolo: — Abrayami! Abrayami! Abrayami azongisaki: — Ngai oyo.
And an angel of the Lord called him out of heaven, and said, Abraam, Abraam. And he said, Behold, I [am here].
12 Anjelu alobaki: — Kosembola loboko na yo te likolo ya mwana, kosala ye mabe te. Nasosoli sik’oyo ete otosaka Nzambe, pamba te oboyi te kopesa Ngai mwana na yo ya mobali, mwana na yo se moko.
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 Abrayami atombolaki miso na ye mpe amonaki meme ya mobali oyo maseke na yango ezalaki ya kokangama na nzete ya moke. Azwaki yango mpe apesaki yango mbeka ya kotumba na esika ya mwana na ye ya mobali.
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 Abrayami abengaki esika yango « Nkolo akopesa. » Yango wana balobaka kino lelo: « Na likolo ya ngomba ya Yawe, ekopesama. »
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 Anjelu ya Yawe abengaki Abrayami na mbala ya mibale wuta na likolo
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 mpe alobaki: « Nakati seleka na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Yawe, ete lokola osali likambo ya boye, lokola oboyi te kopesa Ngai mwana na yo ya mobali, mwana na yo se moko,
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 nakopambola yo solo mpe nakokomisa bakitani na yo ebele lokola minzoto ya likolo, mpe ebele lokola zelo ya ebale. Bakitani na yo bakokamata bingumba ya banguna na bango.
And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have listened to my voice.
18 Bato ya bikolo nyonso ya mabele bakomipambola mpo na bakitani na yo, pamba te otosi Ngai. »
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 Abrayami azongaki epai ya basali na ye mpe bakendeki elongo na Beri-Sheba epai wapi akobaki kovanda.
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 Sima na makambo wana, bayebisaki Abrayami ete Milika mpe abotelaki Naori, ndeko ya Abrayami, bana:
Uz the firstborn, and Baux his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians, and Chazad, and
21 Mwana na ye ya liboso, Utsi; Buzi, ndeko na ye mobali; Kemweli, tata ya Arami;
Azav and Phaldes, and Jeldaph, and Bathuel, and Bathuel begot Rebecca;
22 Kesedi, Azo, Pilidashi, Yidilafi mpe Betweli.
these are eight sons, which Melcha bore to Nachor the brother of Abraam.
23 Betweli azalaki tata ya Rebeka. Milika abotelaki Naori, ndeko mobali ya Abrayami, bana mibali mwambe.
And his concubine whose name was Rheuma, she also bore Tabec, and Taam, and Tochos, and Mocha.
24 Makangu ya Naori, oyo kombo na ye ezalaki Reuma, ye mpe abotelaki Naori bana: Teba, Gami, Taashi mpe Maaka.
