Genesisy 22
1 Añe irezay, le nitsohen’ Andrianañahare t’i Avrahame, le nanoa’e ty hoe, O Avrahame! Itoan-draho, hoe re.
After these things, God tempted Abraham, and said to him: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am.
2 Le hoe re: Endeso henaneo i ana’o Ietsàke bako toka’o kokoa’oy, le mañaveloa mb’ an-tane Morià añe vaho iengao ho soron-koroañe ami’ty vohitse hivolañako.
He said to him: Take thy only begotten son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and go into the land of vision: and there thou shalt offer him for an holocaust upon one of the mountains which I will show thee.
3 Nañaleñaleñe amy loak’àndroy t’i Avrahame le nanampeza’e fitobohañe amy borìke’ey. Nindese’e mindre ama’e ty roe amo mpitoro’eo naho Ietsàk’ ana’e, le tsinera’e ty hatae’ i soroñey, le niongake vaho nionjoñe mb’amy toetse nitsaraen’ Añahare mb’eo.
So Abraham rising up in the night, saddled his ass: and took with him two young men, and Isaac his son: and when he had cut wood for the holocaust he went his way to the place which God had commanded him.
4 Ie amy andro faha-teloy, niandra t’i Avrahame nahatalake i vohitsey eñe.
And on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place afar off.
5 Hoe re amo mpitoro’eo, Etoañe hey nahareo naho i borìkey; homb’ eroan-draho naho i ajalahiy, hitalaho vaho hibalike.
And he said to his young men: Stay you here with the ass: I and the boy will go with speed as far as yonder, and after we have worshipped, will return to you.
6 Rinambe’ i Avrahame ty hatae hañoroañe i soroñey naho nasampe’e amy Ietsàk’ ana’e, vaho ninday afo naho mesolava am-pita’e, le niharo lia mb’eo iereo roe,
And he took the wood for the holocaust, and laid it upon Isaac his son: and he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as they two went on together,
7 le hoe ty asa’ Ietsàke aman-drae’e: O aba? hoe t’i Avrahame, Eñ’ anako intoy iraho? Etia ty afo naho ty hatae fa aia ka ty vik’añondry hisoroñañe?
Isaac said to his father: My father. And he answered: What wilt thou, son? Behold, saith he, fire and wood: where is the victim for the holocaust?
8 Hoe t’i Avrahame, I Andrianañahare, anako, ro hanolotse ty vi’e hisoroñañe. Aa le niharo-lia iereo roe,
And Abraham said: God will provide himself a victim for an holocaust, my son. So they went on together.
9 naho nandoak’ amy toetse natoron’ Añaharey, naho nitsene kitrely eo t’i Avrahame naho nalaha’e ama’e ty hatae, naho narohi’e i ana’e Ietsàkey vaho nasampe’e amy kitreliy, amo hataeo.
And they came to the place which God had shown him, where he built an altar, and laid the wood in order upon it: and when he had bound Isaac his son, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood.
10 Nahiti’ i Avrahame amy zao ty fità’e nandrambe i fibaray handenta i ana’ey.
And he put forth his hand and took the sword, to sacrifice his son.
11 F’ie kinanji’ ty anjeli’ Iehovà boak’ andikerañe ao ami’ty hoe, O Avrahame, Avrahame! Le hoe re, Intoy iraho.
And behold an angel of the Lord from heaven called to him, saying: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am.
12 Hoe re, Ko apao’o amo ajalahio ty fità’o hanoa’o inoñ’ inoñe, amy te apotako henaneo t’ie mpirevendreveñ’ aman’ Añahare amy te tsy nazi’o amako ty anadahy bako-toka’oy.
And he said to him: Lay not thy hand upon the boy, neither do thou any thing to him: now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake.
13 Nampiandrae’ i Avrahame amy zao o fihaino’eo nañisake, le hehe amboho’e ao ty añondrilahy nivahoran-drongoñe an-tsifa’e. Nimb’eo t’i Avrahame nandrambe i añondrilahiy le nengae’e ho soroñe hisolo i anadahi’ey.
Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw behind his back a ram amongst the briers sticking fast by the horns, which he took and offered for a holocaust instead of his son.
14 Aa le natao i Avrahame ty hoe, Iehovà Mahavazoho, vaho ie i tsaraeñe henaneo ami’ty hoe, Ambohi’ Iehovà ao ty hahaoniñañe aze.
And he called the name of that place, The Lord seeth. Whereupon even to this day it is said: In the mountain the Lord will see.
15 Nikanjy boak’amo likerañeo fañin-droe’e amy Avrahame ty anjeli’ Iehovà,
And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:
16 nanao ty hoe, Nifanta ami’ty vatako iraho, hoe t’Iehovà: Kanao nanoe’o o raha zao naho tsy nitana’o amako i ana-dahi’oy, i bako-lahi-toka’oy,
By my own self have I sworn, saith the Lord: because thou hast done this thing, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake:
17 le am-pitahiañe ty hitahiako azo vaho am-pitomboeñe ty hampitomboeko o tarira’oo ho mira amo vasian-dikerañeo naho mira amo faseñe añ’olon-driakeo, naho ho fanaña’ o tarira’oo o lalambein-drafelahi’eo,
I will bless thee, and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is by the sea shore: thy seed shall possess the gates of their enemies.
18 vaho i tarira’oy ty hañanintsiñe ze kila foko’ ty tane toy, amy te norihe’o ty feoko.
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voice.
19 Aa le nimpoly mb’amo ajalahio t’i Avrahame le niongake iereo nitrao-dia mb’e Beersevà mb’eo; vaho nimoneñe e Beerseva añe t’i Avrahame.
Abraham returned to his young men, and they went to Bersabee together, and he dwelt there.
20 Ie nimodo, le natalily amy Avrahame ty hoe, Nahatoly anak’ añamy Nakore rahalahi’o ka t’i Milkae:
After these things, it was told Abraham that Melcha also had borne children to Nachor his brother.
21 i Otse ty tañoloñoloña’e naho rahalahi’e t’i Boze vaho i Kemoele rae’ i Arame,
Hus the firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians,
22 naho i Kesede, i Kazò, i Pildase, Iedlafe, vaho i Betoele.
And Cased, and Azau, and Pheldas, and Jedlaph,
23 Nisamake i Ribkae t’i Betoele. I valo rey ty nasama’ i Milkae amy Nakore, rahalahi’ i Avrahame.
And Bathuel, of whom was born Rebecca: These eight did Melcha bear to Nachor Abraham’s brother.
24 Mbore nahatoly ka i sakeza’e atao Reomàey le i Tèbake, i Gàkame, i Tàkase, vaho i Maakà.
And his concubine, named Roma, bore Tabee, and Gaham, and Tahas, and Maacha.
