Mwanzo 22
1 Ikawa kwamba baada ya mambo hayo Mungu akampima Abraham. Akamwambia, “Abraham!” Abraham akasema, “Mimi hapa.”
And after these things God did proue Abraham, and said vnto him, Abraham. Who answered, Here am I.
2 Kisha Mungu akasema, “Mchukue mwanao, mwanao wa pekee, umpendaye, Isaka, na uende katika nchi ya Moria. Mtoe kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa mahali pale juu ya moja ya milima hiyo, ambayo nitakwambia.”
And he said, Take nowe thine onely sonne Izhak whom thou louest, and get thee vnto the land of Moriah, and offer him there for a burnt offering vpon one of the mountaines, which I will shewe thee.
3 Kwa hiyo Abraham akaamka asubuhi na mapema, akatandika punda wake, akawachukuwa vijana wake wawili, pamoja na Isaka mwanawe. Akakata kuni kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa, kisha akapanga safari kwenda mahali ambapo Mungu alimwambia.
Then Abraham rose vp early in the morning, and sadled his asse, and tooke two of his seruants with him, and Izhak his sonne, and cloue wood for the burnt offering, and rose vp and went to the place, which God had tolde him.
4 Siku ya tatu Abraham akatazama juu na akaona mahali pakiwa mbali.
Then the third day Abraham lift vp his eyes, and sawe the place afarre off,
5 Abraham akawambia vijana wake, “kaeni hapa pamoja na punda, mimi pamoja na Isaka tutakwenda pale. Tutaabudu na kisha tutarudi hapa penu.”
And said vnto his seruants, Abide you here with the asse: for I and the childe will go yonder and worship, and come againe vnto you.
6 Ndipo Abraham akachukua kuni kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa akaziweka juu ya Isaka mwanawe. Mkononi mwake akachukua moto na kisu; na wote wawili wakaondoka pamoja.
Then Abraham tooke the wood of the burnt offering, and layed it vpon Izhak his sonne, and he tooke the fire in his hand, and the knife: and they went both together.
7 Isaka akazungumza na Abraham baba yake akisema, “Baba yangu,” naye akasema, “Ndiyo mwanangu.” Akasema, “Tazama huu ni moto na kuni, lakini yuko wapi mwanakondoo kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa?”
Then spake Izhak vnto Abraham his father, and said, My father. And he answered, Here am I, my sonne. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, but where is the lambe for ye burnt offring?
8 Abraham akasema, “Mungu mwenyewe atatupatia mwanakondoo kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa, mwanangu.” Kwa hiyo wakaendelea, wote wawili pamoja.
Then Abraham answered, My sonne, God will prouide him a lambe for a burnt offering: so they went both together.
9 Walipofika mahali ambapo Mungu alikuwa amemwambia, Abraham akajenga madhabahu pale na akaweka kuni juu yake. Kisha akamfunga Isaka mwanawe, na akamlaza juu ya madhabahu, juu ya zile kuni.
And when they came to the place which God had shewed him, Abraham builded an altar there, and couched ye wood, and bound Izhak his sonne and laid him on the altar vpon the wood.
10 Abraham akanyoosha mkono wake akachukua kisu ili kumuua mwanawe.
And Abraham stretching forth his hand, tooke the knife to kill his sonne.
11 Ndipo malaika wa Yahwe akamwita kutoka mbinguni na kusema, “Abraham, Abraham!” naye akasema, “Mimi hapa.”
But the Angel of the Lord called vnto him from heauen, saying, Abraham, Abraham. And he answered, Here am I.
12 Akasema, “usinyooshe mkono wako juu ya kijana, wala usifanye jambo lolote kumdhuru, kwa kuwa sasa najua unamcha Mungu, kwa kuona kuwa hukumzuilia mwanao, mwanao wa pekee, kwa ajili yangu.”
Then he said, Lay not thine hand vpon the childe, neither doe any thing vnto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing for my sake thou hast not spared thine onely sonne.
13 Abraham akatazama juu na tazama, nyuma yake kulikuwa na kondoo mume amenaswa pembe zake kichakani. Abraham akaenda akamchukua kondoo na akamtoa kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa badala ya mwanawe.
And Abraham lifting vp his eyes, looked: and behold, there was a ramme behind him caught by the hornes in a bush. then Abraham went and tooke the ramme, and offered him vp for a burnt offering in the steade of his sonne.
14 Kwa hiyo Abraham akapaita mahali pale, Yahwe atatoa,” na panaitwa hivyo hata leo. “Juu ya mlima wa Yahwe itatolewa.”
And Abraham called the name of that place, Iehouah-ijreh. as it is said this day, In the mount will the Lord be seene.
15 Malaika wa Yahwe akamwita Abraham kwa mara ya pili kutoka mbinguni
And the Angel of the Lord cryed vnto Abraham from heauen the second time,
16 na kusema - Hiki ni kiapo cha Yahwe, “Kwa ajili ya nafsi yangu nimeapa kwamba kwa kuwa umefanya jambo hili, na hukunizuilia mwanao, mwanao wa pekee,
And saide, By my selfe haue I sworne (saith ye Lord) because thou hast done this thing, and hast not spared thine onely sonne,
17 hakika nitakubariki na nitakuzidishia uzao wako kama nyota za angani, na kama mchanga ulioko kwenye ufukwe wa bahari; na uzao wakowatamiliki lango la adui zao.
Therefore will I surely blesse thee, and will greatly multiplie thy seede, as the starres of the heauen, and as the sand which is vpon the sea shore, and thy seede shall possesse the gate of his enemies.
18 Kupitia uzao wako mataifa yote ya dunia watabarikiwa, kwa sababu umetii sauti yangu.”
And in thy seede shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voyce.
19 Kwa hiyo Abraham akarejea kwa vijana wake, na wakaondoka wakaenda pamoja Beerisheba, hivyo akakaa Beerisheba.
Then turned Abraham againe vnto his seruants, and they rose vp and went together to Beer-sheba: and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
20 Ikawa kwamba baada ya mambo haya ambayo Abraham aliambiwa, “Milka amemzalia pia watoto, ndugu yako Nahori.”
And after these things one tolde Abraham, saying, Beholde Milcah, she hath also borne children vnto thy brother Nahor:
21 Hawa walikuwa ni Usi mzaliwa wa kwanza, Busi ndugu yake, Kemueli aliye mzaa Aramu,
To wit, Vz his eldest sonne, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 Kesedi, Hazo, Pildashi, Yidlafu, na Bethueli.
And Chesed and Hazo, and Pildash, and Iidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 Bethuel akamzaa Rebeka. Hawa walikuwa ni wale watoto wanane ambao Milka alizaa kwa Nahori, ndugu yake na Abraham.
And Bethuel begate Rebekah: these eight did Milcah beare to Nahor Abrahams brother.
24 Suria wake, ambaye aliitwa Reuma, pia akamzaa Teba, Gahamu, Tahashi, na Maaka.
And his concubine called Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gahan, and Thahash and Maachah.
