Genesisy 22
1 Ary rehefa afaka izany zavatra izany, dia nizahan’ Andriamanitra toetra Abrahama, ka hoy Izy taminy: Ry Abrahama ô! ary hoy izy; Inty aho.
Some time later God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he answered.
2 Ary hoy Izy: Ento ny zanakao, ny lahitokanao izay tianao, dia Isaka ka mankanesa any amin’ ny tany Moria; ary atero any izy ho fanatitra dorana ao amin’ ny tendrombohitra anankiray izay holazaiko aminao.
“Take your son,” God said, “your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”
3 Ary nifoha maraina koa Abrahama dia nanisy lasely ny borikiny ka nitondra zatovony roa lahy koa niaraka taminy sy Isaka zanany ary namaky ny hazo hataina amin’ ny fanatitra dorana izy dia niainga ka nankany amin’ ny tany izay efa nolazain’ Andriamanitra taminy,
So Abraham got up early the next morning, saddled his donkey, and took along two of his servants and his son Isaac. He split the wood for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had designated.
4 Nony tamin’ ny andro fahatelo Abrahama dia nanopy ny masony ka nahatazana ny tany terỳ lavitra erỳ.
On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.
5 Ary hoy Abrahama tamin’ ny zatovony: Mijanòna eto amin’ ny boriky ianareo, fa izaho sy ny zazalahy handeha hankerỳ; ary hivavaka izahay dia hiverina eto aminareo indray.
“Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told his servants. “The boy and I will go over there to worship, and then we will return to you.”
6 Dia nalain’ i Abrahama ny hazo hataina amin’ ny fanatitra dorana ka natataony an’ Isaka zanany; fa izy kosa nitondra ny afo sy ny antsy teny an-tànany; ary dia niara-nandeha izy mianaka.
Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. He himself carried the fire and the sacrificial knife, and the two of them walked on together.
7 Ary Isaka niteny tamin’ i Abrahama rainy ka nanao hoe: Ry ikaky ô! dia hoy izy: Inty aho, anaka. Ary hoy izy: Indreto ny afo sy ny kitay; fa aiza kosa izay ondry hatao fanatitra dorana?
Then Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” “Here I am, my son,” he replied. “The fire and the wood are here,” said Isaac, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8 Fa hoy Abrahama: Anaka. Andriamanitra no hahita izay ondry hatao fanatitra dorana; dia niara-nandeha izy mianaka.
Abraham answered, “God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two walked on together.
9 Ary rehefa tonga teo amin’ ny tany izay efa nolazain’ Andriamanitra taminy izy, dia nanorina ny alitara teo Abrahama ka nandahatra ny kitay; dia namatotra an’ i Isaka zanany izy ka nametraka azy tambonin’ ny alitara teo ambonin’ ny kitay.
When they arrived at the place God had designated, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, atop the wood.
10 Ary Abrahama naninjitra ny tànany ka nandray ny antsy mba hamonoany ny zanany.
Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.
11 Fa niantso azy Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah tany an-danitra ka nanao hoe: Ry Abrahama, ry Abrahama ô! ary hoy kosa izy: Inty aho.
Just then the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham, Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
12 Dia hoy Izy: Aza maninjitra ny tananao amin’ ny zazalahy, ary aza maninona azy akory ianao; fa hitako izao fa matahotra an’ Andriamanitra ianao, ka tsy narovanao tamiko ny zanakao, dia ny lahitokanao.
“Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him,” said the angel, “for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from me.”
13 Ary Abrahama niherika nijery ka, indro, nisy ondrilahy teo ivohony, voasangazotry ny kirihitrala ny tandrony; dia lasa Abrahama ka naka ny ondrilahy ary nanatitra azy ho fanatitra dorana ho solon’ ny zanany.
Then Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram in a thicket, caught by its horns. So he went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
14 Ary ny anaran’ izany tany izany dia nataon’ i Abrahama hoe Jehovah-jire; dia izany no anaovana mandraka ankehitriny ny hoe: Any an-tendrombohitra no hisehoan’ i Jehovah.
And Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. So to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”
15 Dia niantso an’ i Abrahama fanindroany tany an-danitra Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah
And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time,
16 ka nanao hoe: Ny tenako no nianianako, hoy Jehovah: Satria nanao izany zavatra izany ianao ka tsy niaro ny zanakao, ilay lahitokanao,
saying, “By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your only son,
17 dia hitahy anao tokoa Aho ary hahamaro dia hahamaro ny taranakao, ho tahaka ny kintana eny amin’ ny lanitra sy ho tahaka ny fasika izay any amoron-dranomasina; ary ny taranakao hahazo ny vavahadin’ ny fahavalony;
I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gates of their enemies.
18 ary amin’ ny taranakao no hitahiana ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany, satria nanaiky ny teniko ianao.
And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
19 Ary Abrahama dia niverina nankeny amin’ ny zatovony; dia niainga izy ka niaraka nankany Beri-sheba; ary Abrahama dia nonina tany Beri-sheba.
Abraham went back to his servants, and they got up and set out together for Beersheba. And Abraham settled in Beersheba.
20 Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nisy nanambara tamin’ i Abrahama hoe: Indro, efa niteraka zazalahy koa Milka tamin’ i Nahora rahalahinao,
Some time later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has also borne sons to your brother Nahor:
21 dia Oza lahimatoany sy Boza lahiaivo ary Kemoela, rain’ i Arama,
Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram),
22 ary Kaseda sy Hazo sy Pildasy sy Jidiafa ary Betoela.
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23 Ary Betoela niteraka an-dRebeka. Ireo valo ireo no naterak’ i Milka tamin’ i Nahora, rahalahin’ i Abrahama.
And Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.
24 Ary ny vaditsindranony, izay atao hoe Reoma, izy koa dia niteraka an’ i Teba sy Gahama sy Tahasy ary Meaka.
Moreover, Nahor’s concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
