Mwanzo 22
1 Ikawa kwamba baada ya mambo hayo Mungu akampima Abraham. Akamwambia, “Abraham!” Abraham akasema, “Mimi hapa.”
After these dedes God dyd proue Abraham and sayde vnto him: Abraham. And he 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 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 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.
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 Siku ya tatu Abraham akatazama juu na akaona mahali pakiwa mbali.
The thirde daye Abraham lyfte vp his eyes and sawe the place a farr of
5 Abraham akawambia vijana wake, “kaeni hapa pamoja na punda, mimi pamoja na Isaka tutakwenda pale. Tutaabudu na kisha tutarudi hapa penu.”
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 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.
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 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?”
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 Abraham akasema, “Mungu mwenyewe atatupatia mwanakondoo kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa, mwanangu.” Kwa hiyo wakaendelea, wote wawili pamoja.
And Abraham sayde: my sonne God wyll prouyde him a shepe for sacrifyce. So went they 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 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 Abraham akanyoosha mkono wake akachukua kisu ili kumuua mwanawe.
And Abraham stretched forth his hande and toke the knyfe to haue kylled his sonne.
11 Ndipo malaika wa Yahwe akamwita kutoka mbinguni na kusema, “Abraham, Abraham!” naye akasema, “Mimi hapa.”
Than the angell of the LORde called vnto him from heauen saynge: 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.”
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 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 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 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 the place the LORde will see: wherfore it is a come saynge this daye: in the mounte will the LORde be sene.
15 Malaika wa Yahwe akamwita Abraham kwa mara ya pili kutoka mbinguni
And the Angell of the LORde cryed vnto Abraham from heaven the seconde tyme
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,
saynge: by my selfe haue I sworne (sayth the LORde) because thou hast done this thinge and hast not spared thy only 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.
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 Kupitia uzao wako mataifa yote ya dunia watabarikiwa, kwa sababu umetii sauti yangu.”
And in thy seed 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.
So turned Abraham agayne vnto his yonge men and they rose vp and wet to gether to Berseba. And Abraham dwelt at Berseba
20 Ikawa kwamba baada ya mambo haya ambayo Abraham aliambiwa, “Milka amemzalia pia watoto, ndugu yako Nahori.”
And it chaused after these thiges that one tolde Abraham saynge: Beholde Milcha she hath also borne childern vnto thy brother Nachor:
21 Hawa walikuwa ni Usi mzaliwa wa kwanza, Busi ndugu yake, Kemueli aliye mzaa Aramu,
Hus his eldest sonne and Bus his brother and Lemuell the father of the Sinans
22 Kesedi, Hazo, Pildashi, Yidlafu, na Bethueli.
and Cesed and Haso and Pildas and Iedlaph and Bethuel.
23 Bethuel akamzaa Rebeka. Hawa walikuwa ni wale watoto wanane ambao Milka alizaa kwa Nahori, ndugu yake na Abraham.
And Bethuel begat Rebecca. These. viij. dyd Milcha bere to Nachor Abrahams brother
24 Suria wake, ambaye aliitwa Reuma, pia akamzaa Teba, Gahamu, Tahashi, na Maaka.
And his concubyne called Rheuma she bare also Tebah Gaham Thahas and Maacha.
