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.
After these things occurred, God tested Abraham, and he said to him, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
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.
He said to him: “Take your only begotten son Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of vision. And there you shall offer him as a holocaust upon one of the mountains, which I will show to 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,
And so Abraham, getting up in the night, harnessed his donkey, taking with him two youths, and his son Isaac. And when he had cut wood for the holocaust, he traveled toward the place, as God had instructed him.
4 Nony tamin’ ny andro fahatelo Abrahama dia nanopy ny masony ka nahatazana ny tany terỳ lavitra erỳ.
Then, on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place at a 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.
And he said to his servants: “Wait here with the donkey. I and the boy will hurry further ahead to that place. After we have worshipped, 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.
He also took the wood for the holocaust, and he imposed it upon his son Isaac. And he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as the two continued 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?
Isaac said to his father, “My father.” And he answered, “What do you want, son?” “Behold,” he said, “fire and wood. Where is the victim for the holocaust?”
8 Fa hoy Abrahama: Anaka. Andriamanitra no hahita izay ondry hatao fanatitra dorana; dia niara-nandeha izy mianaka.
But Abraham said, “God himself will provide the victim for the holocaust, my son.” Thus they continued 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.
And they came to the place that God had shown to him. There he built an altar, and he set the wood in order upon it. And when he had bound his son Isaac, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood.
10 Ary Abrahama naninjitra ny tànany ka nandray ny antsy mba hamonoany ny zanany.
And he reached out his hand and took hold of the sword, in order to sacrifice 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.
And behold, an Angel of the Lord called out from heaven, saying, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
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.
And he said to him, “Do not extend your hand over the boy, and do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, since you have not spared your only begotten son for my sake.”
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.
Abraham lifted up his eyes, and he saw behind his back a ram among the thorns, caught by the horns, which he took and offered as a holocaust, instead 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 he called the name of that place: ‘The Lord Sees.’ Thus, even to this day, it is said: ‘On the mountain, the Lord will see.’
15 Dia niantso an’ i Abrahama fanindroany tany an-danitra Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah
Then the Angel of the Lord called out to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:
16 ka nanao hoe: Ny tenako no nianianako, hoy Jehovah: Satria nanao izany zavatra izany ianao ka tsy niaro ny zanakao, ilay lahitokanao,
“By my own self, I have sworn, says the Lord. Because you have done this thing, and have not spared your only begotten son for my sake,
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 bless you, and I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring 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 in your offspring, all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you 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 returned to his servants, and they went to Beersheba together, and he lived there.
20 Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nisy nanambara tamin’ i Abrahama hoe: Indro, efa niteraka zazalahy koa Milka tamin’ i Nahora rahalahinao,
After these things occurred, it was reported to Abraham that Milcah, likewise, had borne sons for his brother Nahor:
21 dia Oza lahimatoany sy Boza lahiaivo ary Kemoela, rain’ i Arama,
Uz, the firstborn, and Buz, his brother, and Kemuel, the father of the Syrians,
22 ary Kaseda sy Hazo sy Pildasy sy Jidiafa ary Betoela.
and Chesed, and Hazo, likewise Pildash, and Jidlaph,
23 Ary Betoela niteraka an-dRebeka. Ireo valo ireo no naterak’ i Milka tamin’ i Nahora, rahalahin’ i Abrahama.
as well as Bethuel, of whom was born Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore for Nahor, the brother of Abraham.
24 Ary ny vaditsindranony, izay atao hoe Reoma, izy koa dia niteraka an’ i Teba sy Gahama sy Tahasy ary Meaka.
In truth, his concubine, named Reumah, bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
