Bilowgii 22
1 Oo waxaa dhacay waxyaalahaas ka dib, in Ilaah tijaabiyey Ibraahim, oo uu ku yidhi, Ibraahimow. Isna wuxuu yidhi, Waa i kan.
Several years later, God tested Abraham [to find out] whether Abraham [really trusted in him and would obey him]. He called out to Abraham, and Abraham replied, “I’m here.”
2 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Hadda kaxee wiilkaaga keligiis ah, kan aad jeceshahay, oo ah Isxaaq, oo u kac dalka Moriyaah; oo halkaas isaga sida allabari la gubo ku dul bixi buuraha middood oo aan kuu sheegi doono.
God said, “Your son, Isaac, whom you love very much, is the only son [who is still here with you]. But take him and go together to the Moriah region. Offer him as a sacrifice like a burnt offering, on a hill that I will show you.”
3 Oo aroortii horaa Ibraahim kacay, oo wuxuu kooraystay dameerkiisii, oo wuxuu kaxaystay laba ka mid ah dhallinyaradiisii, iyo wiilkiisii Isxaaq; qoryihiina allabariga la gubo wuu u jeexjeexay, wuuna kacay, oo wuxuu tegey meeshii Ilaah u sheegay.
So Abraham got up early the next morning, put a saddle on his donkey, and took with him two of his servants along with his son, Isaac. He also chopped some wood to kindle a fire for a burnt offering. Then they started traveling to the place God told him about.
4 Maalintii saddexaad ayuu Ibraahim indhihiisa kor u taagay, markaasuu meeshii oo ka fog arkay.
On the third day of their travels, Abraham looked up and saw in the distance the place where God wanted him to go.
5 Ibraahimna wuxuu raggiisii dhallinyarada ahaa ku yidhi, Idinku halkan dameerka la jooga, aniga iyo wiilkuna halkoo baannu tegaynaa oo Ilaah ku soo caabudaynaa, dabadeedna waannu idinku soo noqonaynaa.
Abraham said to his servants, “You two stay here with the donkey while the boy and I go over there. We will worship God there, and then we will come back to you.”
6 Ibraahimna wuxuu qaaday qoryihii allabariga la gubo, oo wuxuu saaray wiilkiisii Isxaaq, isna wuxuu gacantiisa ku qaaday dabkii iyo mindidii; markaasay labadoodiiba israaceen.
Then Abraham took the wood to kindle a fire for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, for him to carry. Abraham carried in his hand a [pan containing burning coals to start a] fire, and a knife, and the two of them walked along together.
7 Isxaaqna waa la hadlay aabbihiis Ibraahim, oo yidhi, Aabbow. Isna wuxuu yidhi, Waa i kan, wiilkaygiiyow. Markaasuu ku yidhi, Bal eeg, waa kuwan dabkii iyo qoryihii, laakiinse meeh wankii allabariga la gubo loo bixin lahaa?
Then Isaac spoke to his father Abraham, saying, “My father!” Abraham replied, “Yes, my son, I’m here!” Isaac said, “Look, we have wood and [coals to light] a fire, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8 Ibraahimna wuxuu yidhi, Ilaah qudhiisaa keeni doona wankii allabariga la gubo loo bixin lahaa, wiilkaygiiyow; saas daraaddeed labadoodiiba way israaceen.
Abraham replied, “My son, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering.” So the two of them continued walking along together.
9 Oo waxay yimaadeen meeshii Ilaah isaga u sheegay; Ibraahimna meeshaasuu ka dhisay meeshii allabariga, qoryihiina wuu hagaajiyey, markaasuu xidhay wiilkiisii Isxaaq, oo meeshii allabariga saaray qoryihii dushooda.
They arrived at the place God had told him about. There, Abraham built a stone altar and arranged the wood on top of it. Then he tied his son Isaac, and laid him on the altar on top of the wood.
10 Ibraahimna gacantiisii buu fidiyey, oo mindidii buu u qaaday inuu wiilkiisii dilo.
Then Abraham took the knife and reached out to kill his son.
11 Markaasay malaa'igtii Rabbigu samada uga yeedhay isaga, oo waxay ku tidhi, Ibraahimow, Ibraahimow. Kolkaasuu yidhi, Waa i kan.
But an angel [who was really Yahweh] called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” Abraham replied, “I’m here!”
12 Markaasay ku tidhi, Gacantaada ha saarin wiilka, waxbana ha ku samaynin: waayo, hadda waan garanayaa inaad Ilaah ka cabsatid, maxaa yeelay, igama aadan lexejeclaysan wiilkaaga, kaas oo ahaa wiilkaaga keligiis ah.
The angel said, “Do not harm the boy or do anything to injure him, because now I know that you respect and obey God. I know that because you have not refused to sacrifice your son, the only son [who is still with you].”
13 Markaasaa Ibraahim indhihiisii kor u taagay, oo wax fiiriyey, oo wuxuu dabadiisa ku arkay wan geesaha kayn kula jira. Markaasaa Ibraahim tegey oo wankii soo kaxeeyey, oo wuxuu u bixiyey allabari guban meeshii wiilkiisa.
Then Abraham looked up and saw that a ram was nearby, whose horns had been caught in a (thicket/clump of bushes). So Abraham went over and grabbed the ram [and killed it], and sacrificed it on the altar as a burnt offering, instead of his son.
14 Ibraahimna meeshaas wuxuu u bixiyey Yehowah Yireh; xataa ilaa maanta waxaa la yidhaahdaa, Buurta Rabbiga ayaa lagu arki doonaa.
Abraham named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’. And to the present day, people say, “On Yahweh’s mountain, he will provide.”
15 Kolkaasaa mar labaad malaa'igtii Rabbigu Ibraahim samada uga yeedhay,
The angel [who was really Yahweh] called out to Abraham from heaven a second time.
16 oo waxay ku tidhi, Rabbigu wuxuu yidhi, Waxan aad samaysay aawadood, iyo wiilkaaga aadan iga lexejeclaysan, kaas oo ah wiilkaaga keligiis ah aawadiis ayaan nafsaddayda ku dhaartay
He said, “I, Yahweh your Lord, am telling you that you did what I told you, and you have not refused to sacrifice your only son [that is with you]. So I say, ‘I solemnly swear, with myself as my witness,
17 inaan barako ku barakayn doono, oo aan farcankaaga u tarmin doono sida xiddigaha cirka, iyo sida cammuudda taal badda xeebteeda; oo uu farcankaaguna hantiyi doono cadaawayaashiisa iriddooda;
that some day your descendants will be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the seashore. And your descendants will defeat their enemies and capture their cities [SYN].’
18 oo ay quruumaha dunida oo dhammu ku barakoobi doonaan farcankaaga, maxaa yeelay, codkaygaad addeecday.
You obeyed me, so by means of your descendants the people of all the nations on the earth will be blessed.”
19 Haddaba Ibraahim wuxuu ku noqday raggiisii dhallinyarada ahaa, markaasay kaceen oo waxay wada tageen Bi'ir Shebac, Ibraahimna wuxuu iska degay Bi'ir Shebac.
Then Abraham and Isaac returned to where his servants were waiting, and they went back home together to Beersheba, and Abraham stayed there.
20 Oo waxaa dhacay waxyaalahaas dabadood, in Ibraahim loo sheegay, oo lagu yidhi, Bal eeg, Milkah carruur bay u dhashay walaalkaa Naaxoor.
After these things happened, someone told Abraham, “Your brother Nahor’s wife, Milcah, has also given birth to children. She has eight sons.”
21 Waxay yihiin Cuus oo ah curadkiisa, iyo Buus oo ah walaalkiis, iyo Qemuu'el oo ah Araam aabbihiis;
The oldest son was Uz. The next was Buz. After him was Kemuel, the father of Aram.
22 iyo Kesed, iyo Haso, iyo Fildash, iyo Yidlaf iyo Betuu'el.
After Kemuel was Kesad, then Hazo, then Pildash, then Jidlaph, then Bethuel,
23 Betuu'elna wuxuu dhalay Rebeqah. Siddeeddan bay Milkah u dhashay Naaxoor, oo ahaa Ibraahim walaalkiis.
who was the father of Rebekah, [who later became Isaac’s wife]. Those were the eight sons of Milcah, wife of Abraham’s brother, Nahor.
24 Addoontiisii la odhan jiray Re'uumah waxay iyana u dhashay Tebah, iyo Gaham, iyo Tahash, iyo Macakah.
Nahor also had a (concubine/female slave whom he took as a wife), whose name was Beumah. She gave birth to four sons: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
