1 Mose 22
1 Yeinom nyinaa akyiri, Onyankopɔn sɔɔ Abraham hwɛeɛ. Ɔfrɛɛ Abraham sɛ, “Abraham!” Abraham buaa sɛ, “Me nie!”
And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, [here] I [am].
2 Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Fa wo ba, wo ba korɔ Isak a wodɔ no no kɔ Moria asase so, na fa no kɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ mmepɔ a ɛwɔ hɔ no mu baako a mɛkyerɛ wo no so.”
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son] Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
3 Abraham sɔree anɔpatutuutu hyehyɛɛ nʼafunumu. Ɔfaa ne nkoa no mu baanu ne ne ba Isak kaa ne ho. Ɔtwitwaa egya a ɛbɛso ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no bɔ no, ɔsiim kɔɔ baabi a Onyankopɔn kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnkɔ no.
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
4 Ne nnansa so no, Abraham too nʼani hunuu sɛ baabi a ɔrekɔ no wɔ akyirikyiri.
Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
5 Na Abraham ka kyerɛɛ ne nkoa no sɛ, “Mo ne afunumu no ntwɛn ha, na me ne abarimaa no nkɔ animu kakra, nkɔsom. Sɛ yɛsom wie a, yɛbɛsane aba.”
And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
6 Abraham faa anyina a wɔde rekɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no de soaa ne ba Isak. Ɛnna ɔno nso faa egya ne sekammoa kuraeɛ. Ɛberɛ a wɔrekɔ no,
And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid [it] upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
7 Isak frɛɛ nʼagya Abraham sɛ, “Agya!” Ɛnna Abraham buaa sɛ, “Me ba, asɛm bɛn?” Isak bisaa no sɛ, “Egya ne anyina no nie, na odwammaa a yɛde no rekɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no wɔ he?”
And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here [am] I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where [is] the lamb for a burnt offering?
8 Abraham buaa sɛ, “Onyankopɔn no ankasa bɛma yɛn afɔredwan a yɛde rekɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no.” Afei, wɔn baanu no toaa so kɔeɛ.
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
9 Wɔbɛduruu baabi a Onyankopɔn kyerɛɛ no no, Abraham sii afɔrebukyia wɔ hɔ, hyehyɛɛ anyina no wɔ so. Ɔkyekyeree ne ba Isak, de no too anyina no so wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10 Abraham twee sekammoa no, pagyaa sɛ ɔde rebɛtwa ne ba no mene akum no.
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11 Ɛhɔ ara na Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ frɛɛ no firi soro sɛ, “Abraham! Abraham!” Ɛnna Abraham gyee so sɛ, “Me nie.”
And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here [am] I.
12 Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Mfa wo nsa nka abɔfra no. Ɛnyɛ no bɔne biara. Esiane sɛ woamfa wo dɔ ba, wo ba korɔ no ankame me no enti, mahunu sɛ wosuro Onyankopɔn.”
And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son] from me.
13 Abraham maa nʼani so hunuu sɛ nkyɛkyerɛ bi asɔ odwennini bi mmɛn mu wɔ wira no mu hɔ. Abraham kɔkyeree odwennini no de no bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ afɔrebukyia no so, sii ne ba no ananmu.
And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind [him] a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
14 Abraham too beaeɛ no din sɛ Awurade De Bɛma. Ɛbɛsi ɛnnɛ no wɔka sɛ, “wɔde bɛma wɔ Awurade bepɔ no so.”
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said [to] this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
15 Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no frɛɛ Abraham firii soro deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu kaa sɛ,
And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
16 “Maka me ho ntam sɛ, ɛsiane sɛ woayɛ yei, na woamfa wo ba, wo ba korɔ no ankame me enti,
And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son: ]
17 hyira na mɛhyira wo na mama wʼase adɔre sɛ ɔsoro nsoromma ne mpoano anwea. Na wʼasefoɔ bɛgye wɔn atamfoɔ nkuropɔn adi so.
That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which [is] upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18 Wɔnam wʼasefoɔ so na wɔbɛhyira ewiase amanaman nyinaa, ɛfiri sɛ, woadi mʼasɛm so.”
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
19 Afei, Abraham sane kɔɔ nʼasomfoɔ no nkyɛn ne wɔn siim kɔɔ Beer-Seba kɔtenaa hɔ.
So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
20 Yeinom nyinaa akyiri no, wɔka kyerɛɛ Abraham sɛ, “Milka nso yɛ ɔbaatan a wawo mmammarima ama wo nuabarima Nahor. Wɔn din na ɛdidi so yi:
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;
21 Us yɛ abakan, Us nuabarima Bus na ɔtɔ so mmienu. Deɛ ɔdi so ne Kemuel, a ɔyɛ Aram agya.
Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 Wɔn a wɔaka no ne Kesed, Haso, Pildas, Yidlaf ne Betuel.”
And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 Saa Betuel yi na ɔwoo Rebeka. Milka ne Abraham nua Nahor na wɔwowoo saa mmammarima baawɔtwe yi.
And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
24 Nahor ne ne mpena Rehuma nso wowoo mma baanan a wɔn din de, Teba, Gaham, Tahas ne Maaka.
And his concubine, whose name [was] Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
