UGenesisi 22
1 Kwasekusithi emva kwalezizinto uNkulunkulu wamlinga uAbrahama, wathi kuye: Abrahama! Wathi: Khangela ngilapha.
After these dedes God dyd proue Abraham and sayde vnto him: Abraham. And he answered: here am I.
2 Wasesithi: Thatha-ke indodana yakho, eyodwa eyakho, oyithandayo, uIsaka, uye elizweni leMoriya; uyinikele khona ibe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa phezu kwenye yezintaba engizakutshela yona.
And he sayde: take thy only sonne Isaac whome thou louest and get the vnto the lande of Moria and sacrifyce him there for a sacrifyce vpon one of the mountayns which I will shewe the
3 UAbrahama wasevuka ekuseni kakhulu, wabophela isihlalo kubabhemi wakhe, wathatha kanye laye ababili kumajaha akhe, loIsaka indodana yakhe. Wabanda inkuni zomnikelo wokutshiswa, wasukuma waya endaweni ayemtshele yona uNkulunkulu.
Than Abraham rose vp early in the mornynge and sadled his asse and toke two of his meyny wyth him and Isaac his sonne: ad clove wod for the sacrifyce and rose vp and gott him to the place which God had appoynted him.
4 Kwathi ngosuku lwesithathu uAbrahama waphakamisa amehlo akhe wayibona indawo isekhatshana.
The thirde daye Abraham lyfte vp his eyes and sawe the place a farr of
5 UAbrahama wasesithi emajaheni akhe: Salani lina lapha lobabhemi, mina lomfana sisaya laphayana njalo sizakhonza, sibuye kini futhi.
and sayde vnto his yong men: byde here with the asse. I and the lad will goo yonder and worshippe and come agayne vnto you.
6 UAbrahama wasethatha inkuni zomnikelo wokutshiswa, wazethesa uIsaka indodana yakhe; wathatha esandleni sakhe umlilo lengqamu; basebehamba bobabili ndawonye.
And Abraham toke the wodd of the sacrifyce and layde it vpon Isaac his sonne and toke fyre in his hande and a knyfe. And they went both of them together.
7 UIsaka wasekhuluma kuAbrahama uyise wathi: Baba! Wasesithi: Khangela ngilapha, mntanami. Wasesithi: Khangela, umlilo lenkuni; kodwa lingaphi iwundlu lomnikelo wokutshiswa?
Than spake Isaac vnto Abraham his father and sayde: My father? And he answered here am I my sonne. And he sayde: Se here is fyre and wodd but where is the shepe for sacrifyce?
8 UAbrahama wasesithi: UNkulunkulu uzazibonela yena iwundlu lomnikelo wokutshiswa, ndodana yami. Bahamba-ke bobabili ndawonye.
And Abraham sayde: my sonne God wyll prouyde him a shepe for sacrifyce. So went they both together.
9 Basebefika endaweni uNkulunkulu ayemtshele yona; uAbrahama wasesakha khona ilathi; wabeka kuhle inkuni; esembophile uIsaka indodana yakhe, wambeka elathini phezu kwenkuni.
And when they came vnto the place which God shewed him Abraha made an aulter there and dressed the wodd ad bownde Isaac his sonne and layde him on the aulter aboue apon the wodd.
10 UAbrahama waseselula isandla sakhe, wathatha ingqamu ukuze ayihlabe indodana yakhe.
And Abraham stretched forth his hande and toke the knyfe to haue kylled his sonne.
11 Kwasekumemeza kuye ingilosi yeNkosi isemazulwini yathi: Abrahama, Abrahama! Wathi: Khangela ngilapha.
Than the angell of the LORde called vnto him from heauen saynge: Abraham Abraham. And he answered: here am I.
12 Yasisithi: Ungeluleli isandla sakho emfaneni, ungenzi lutho kuye, ngoba khathesi ngiyazi ukuthi wena uyamesaba uNkulunkulu, lokhu ungayigodlanga indodana yakho eyodwa kimi.
And he sayde: laye not thy handes apon the childe nether do any thinge at all vnto him for now I knowe that thou fearest God in yt thou hast not kepte thine only sonne fro me.
13 UAbrahama wasephakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona, khangela-ke, inqama emuva ibanjiwe esixukwini ngezimpondo zayo. UAbrahama wasehamba wayithatha inqama, wayinikela ibe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa esikhundleni sendodana yakhe.
And Abraham lyfted vp his eyes and loked aboute: and beholde there was a ram caught by the hornes in a thykette. And he went and toke the ram and offred him vp for a sacrifyce in the steade of his sonne
14 UAbrahama wasesitha ibizo laleyondawo wathi uJehova-jire, njengoba kutshiwo lalamuhla ukuthi: Entabeni yeNkosi kuzanakekelwa.
And Abraham called the name of the place the LORde will see: wherfore it is a come saynge this daye: in the mounte will the LORde be sene.
15 Ingilosi yeNkosi yasimemeza uAbrahama ngokwesibili isemazulwini,
And the Angell of the LORde cryed vnto Abraham from heaven the seconde tyme
16 yathi: Ngizifungile, itsho iNkosi, ukuthi njengoba wenzile le into ungayigodlanga indodana yakho, eyakho eyodwa,
saynge: by my selfe haue I sworne (sayth the LORde) because thou hast done this thinge and hast not spared thy only sonne
17 qotho ngizakubusisa lokukubusisa, ngiyandise lokuyandisa inzalo yakho njengenkanyezi zamazulu, lanjengetshebetshebe elisekhunjini lolwandle; lenzalo yakho izakuba ngumnikazi wesango lezitha zayo,
that I will blesse th and multiplye thy seed as the starres of heaven and as the sonde vpo the seesyde. And thy seed shall possesse the gates of hys enymies.
18 lenzalweni yakho zonke izizwe zomhlaba zizabusiswa, ngoba ulalele ilizwi lami.
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed because thou hast obeyed my voyce.
19 UAbrahama wasebuyela emajaheni akhe; basebesukuma, bahamba ndawonye eBherishebha; uAbrahama wasehlala eBherishebha.
So turned Abraham agayne vnto his yonge men and they rose vp and wet to gether to Berseba. And Abraham dwelt at Berseba
20 Kwasekusithi emva kwalezizinto kwabikwa kuAbrahama ukuthi: Khangela, uMilka laye umzalele uNahori umfowenu abantwana,
And it chaused after these thiges that one tolde Abraham saynge: Beholde Milcha she hath also borne childern vnto thy brother Nachor:
21 uUzi izibulo lakhe, loBuzi umfowabo, loKemuweli uyise kaAramu,
Hus his eldest sonne and Bus his brother and Lemuell the father of the Sinans
22 loKesedi, loHazo, loPilidashi, loJidilafi, loBethuweli.
and Cesed and Haso and Pildas and Iedlaph and Bethuel.
23 UBethuweli wasezala uRebeka; laba abayisificaminwembili uMilka wabazalela uNahori, umfowabo kaAbrahama.
And Bethuel begat Rebecca. These. viij. dyd Milcha bere to Nachor Abrahams brother
24 Lomfazi wakhe omncane obizo lakhe linguRewuma, laye wazala uTeba loGahama loTahashi loMahaka.
And his concubyne called Rheuma she bare also Tebah Gaham Thahas and Maacha.
