Olubereberye 22
1 Awo oluvannyuma lw’ebyo, Katonda n’agezesa Ibulayimu, n’amuyita nti, “Ibulayimu!” N’addamu nti, “Nze nzuuno.”
After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
2 Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Twala mutabani wo, mutabani wo omu yekka, Isaaka, gw’oyagala, ogende mu nsi Moliya ku lumu ku nsozi lwe ndikulaga omuweereyo eyo okuba ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa.”
He said, “Now take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.”
3 Ibulayimu n’agolokoka ku makya n’ateeka amatandiiko ku ndogoyi ye, n’atwala babiri ku baweereza be abasajja ne Isaaka mutabani we, n’ayasa enku ez’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, n’asituka n’agenda mu kifo Katonda kye yamugamba.
Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey; and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
4 Ku lunaku olwokusatu Ibulayimu n’ayimusa amaaso ge n’alengera ekifo.
On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
5 Awo Ibulayimu n’agamba balenzi be nti, “Musigale wano n’endogoyi, nze n’omulenzi tugende eri tusinze, tulyoke tukomewo.”
Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there. We will worship, and come back to you.”
6 Ibulayimu n’addira enku ez’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa n’azitikka Isaaka mutabani we, ye n’akwata omuliro n’akambe, ne bagenda bombi.
Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.
7 Isaaka n’agamba Ibulayimu nti, “Taata.” Ibulayimu n’amuddamu nti, “Nzuuno mwana wange.” Isaaka n’amubuuza nti, “Laba, omuliro n’enku biibino, naye omwana gw’endiga ogw’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa guluwa?”
Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
8 Ibulayimu n’amuddamu nti, “Mwana wange, Katonda aneefunira omwana gw’endiga ogw’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa.” Kale ne bagenda bombi.
Abraham said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went together.
9 Bwe baatuuka mu kifo Katonda kye yamugamba, Ibulayimu n’azimba ekyoto, n’atindikira enku, n’asiba omwana we Isaaka, n’amuteeka ku kyoto ku nku.
They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.
10 Awo Ibulayimu n’akwata ekiso, n’agolola omukono gwe atte omwana we.
Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
11 Naye malayika wa Mukama n’amukoowoola ng’asinziira mu ggulu, n’agamba nti, “Ibulayimu! Ibulayimu!” Ibulayimu n’addamu nti, “Nze nzuuno.” N’amugamba nti,
The LORD’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
12 “Togolola mukono gwo ku mulenzi so tomukola kintu na kimu, kubanga kaakano ntegedde nti otya Katonda, ndabye nti omwana wo tomunnyimye, omwana wo omu yekka bw’ati.”
He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
13 Awo Ibulayimu n’ayimusa amaaso, n’alaba, era laba, emabega we endiga ennume ng’eri mu kisaka ng’amayembe gaayo mwe galaalidde. Ibulayimu n’agenda n’addira endiga eyo n’agiwaayo okuba ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, mu kifo ky’omwana we.
Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
14 Ibulayimu kyeyava atuuma ekifo ekyo erinnya Mukama alitugabirira, era ne kaakano bwe kiyitibwa nti ku lusozi lwa Mukama anaagabiriranga.
Abraham called the name of that place “The LORD Will Provide”. As it is said to this day, “On the LORD’s mountain, it will be provided.”
15 Awo malayika wa Mukama n’ayita Ibulayimu omulundi ogwokubiri ng’asinziira mu ggulu,
The LORD’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
16 n’amugamba nti, “Nze Mukama neerayiridde, nga bw’okoze kino, n’otonnyima mwana wo omu yekka bw’ati,
and said, “‘I have sworn by myself,’ says the LORD, ‘because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
17 ddala ndikuwa omukisa, era ndyaza ezzadde lyo, ne liba ng’emmunyeenye ez’eggulu era ng’omusenyu oguli ku lubalama lw’ennyanja. Era ezzadde lyo balitwala eby’abalabe baabwe,
that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gate of his enemies.
18 era mu zzadde lyo amawanga gonna mwe galiweerwa omukisa, kubanga ogondedde eddoboozi lyange.”
All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, because you have obeyed my voice.’”
19 Ibulayimu n’alyoka addayo eri abavubuka be, ne basitula ne balaga e Beeruseba.
So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
20 Awo mu biro ebyo ne babuulira Ibulayimu nti, “Laba Mirika azaalidde Nakoli muganda wo abaana: Uzi ye mubereberye,
After these things, Abraham was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
21 ne muto we ye Buzi, ne Kemweri kitaawe wa Alamu,
Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 ne Kesedi, ne Kazo, ne Pirudaasi, ne Yidulaafu ne Besweri.”
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23 Era Besweri yazaala Lebbeeka. Abaana abo omunaana Mirika be yazaalira Nakoli muganda wa Ibulayimu.
Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
24 Ate ne mukazi we omulala Lewuma n’azaalira Nakoli, abaana aboobulenzi era be bano: Teba, ne Gakamu, ne Takasi, ne Maaka.
His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
