< Genesis 22 >

1 Nígbà tí ó ṣe, Ọlọ́run dán Abrahamu wò, ó pè é, ó sì wí pé, “Abrahamu.” Abrahamu sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi nìyí.”
And it came to pass after these things, that God, did prove Abraham, —and he said unto him, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
2 Ọlọ́run sì wí pé, “Mú ọmọ rẹ, àní Isaaki ọmọ rẹ kan ṣoṣo nì, tí ìwọ fẹ́ràn, lọ sí ilẹ̀ Moria, kí o sì fi rú ẹbọ sísun níbẹ̀ lórí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn òkè tí èmi yóò sọ fún ọ.”
And he said—Take, I pray thee, thy son, thine only one, whom thou lovest, even, Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah and cause him to ascend there as an ascending-sacrifice, on one of the mountains which I shall name unto thee.
3 Abrahamu sì dìde ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, ó sì di kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ rẹ̀ ní gàárì, ó sì mú méjì nínú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ àti Isaaki ọmọ rẹ̀, ó sì ṣẹ́ igi fún ẹbọ sísun, ó sì gbéra lọ sí ibi tí Ọlọ́run ti sọ fún un.
So Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took his two young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the pieces of wood for an ascending-sacrifice, and mounted and went his way unto the place which God had named to him.
4 Nígbà tí ó di ọjọ́ kẹta, Abrahamu gbé ojú sókè, ó sì rí ibi tí ó ń lọ ní òkèrè,
It was, on the third day, that Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
5 Abrahamu sì wí fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ̀yin, ẹ dúró níhìn-ín pẹ̀lú kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, èmi àti ọmọ yìí yóò lọ sí ohunkóhun láti sin Ọlọ́run, a ó sì tún padà wá bá a yín.”
And Abraham said unto his young men—Tarry by yourselves here with the ass, but I and the young man must go yonder, —that we may bow ourselves down and return unto you.
6 Abrahamu sì gbé igi ẹbọ sísun náà ru Isaaki, òun fúnra rẹ̀ sì mú iná àti ọ̀bẹ. Bí àwọn méjèèjì ti ń lọ,
So Abraham took the pieces of wood for the ascending-sacrifice, and laid them on Isaac his son, and took in his own hand the fire and the knife, and they went on their way, both of them together.
7 Isaaki sì sọ fún Abrahamu baba rẹ̀ wí pé, “Baba mi.” Abrahamu sì dalóhùn pé, “Èmi nìyí ọmọ mi.” Isaaki sì tún wí pé, “Wò ó iná àti igi nìyí, ṣùgbọ́n níbo ni ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn fún ẹbọ sísun náà wà?”
Then said Isaac unto Abraham his father, then said he; My father! And he said, Behold me, my son, And he said, Behold the fire, and the pieces of wood, —but where is the lamb, for an ascending-sacrifice?
8 Abrahamu sì dáhùn pé, “Ọmọ mi, Ọlọ́run fúnra rẹ̀ ni yóò pèsè ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn fún ẹbọ sísun náà.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn méjèèjì jùmọ̀ ń lọ.
And Abraham said, God, will provide for himself the lamb for an ascending-sacrifice, my son! So they went on their way, both of them, together.
9 Nígbà tí wọn sì dé ibi tí Ọlọ́run sọ fún Abrahamu, ó mọ pẹpẹ kan, ó sì to igi lé e lórí, ó sì di Isaaki ọmọ rẹ̀, ó sì da dùbúlẹ̀ lórí pẹpẹ náà.
Then came they into the place which God had named to him, and Abraham built there the altar, and laid in order the pieces of wood, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, above the pieces of wood.
10 Abrahamu sì nawọ́ mú ọ̀bẹ, láti dúńbú ọmọ rẹ̀.
And Abraham put forth his hand, and took the knife, —to slay his son.
11 Ṣùgbọ́n angẹli Olúwa ké sí i láti ọ̀run wá wí pé “Abrahamu! Abrahamu!” Abrahamu sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi nìyí.”
Then called out unto him the messenger of Yahweh out of the heavens, and said. Abraham, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
12 Angẹli Olúwa sì wí pé, “Má ṣe fọwọ́ kan ọmọ náà, ìwọ kò sì gbọdọ̀ ṣe é ni ohun kan. Nísinsin yìí ni mo mọ̀ pé o bẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run, nítorí pé ìwọ kò fi ọmọ rẹ, àní, ọmọ rẹ kan ṣoṣo dù mí.”
Then he said, Do not put forth thy hand unto the young man, neither do to him—anything at all, —for, now, know I that one who reverest God, thou art, when thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, from me.
13 Abrahamu sì gbójú sókè, ó sì rí àgbò kan tí ó fi ìwo há pàǹtírí, ó sì lọ mú un, ó sì fi rú ẹbọ sísun dípò ọmọ rẹ̀.
And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! a ram, behind, caught in a thicket by his horns, and Abraham went, and took the ram, and caused him to ascend as an ascending-sacrifice instead of his son.
14 Abrahamu sì pe orúkọ ibẹ̀ ni, Jehofah Jire. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a sì ń wí títí di òní olónìí pé, “Ní orí òkè Olúwa, ni a ó ti pèsè.”
So Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh-yireh, —as to which it is still said to-day, In the mountain of Yahweh, will provision be made.
15 Angẹli Olúwa sì tún pe Abrahamu láti ọ̀run wá lẹ́ẹ̀kejì.
Then called out the messenger of Yahweh unto Abraham, —a second time out of the heavens;
16 Ó sì wí pé, Olúwa wí pé, “Mo fi ara mi búra, níwọ̀n bí ìwọ ti ṣe èyí, tí ìwọ kò fi ọmọ rẹ, àní, ọmọ rẹ kan ṣoṣo dù mí,
and said, By myself, have I sworn is the oracle of Yahweh, —Because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one,
17 nítòótọ́, ní bíbùkún èmi ó bùkún fún ọ, àti ní bíbísí èmi ó sì mú ọ bí sí i bí i ìràwọ̀ ojú ọ̀run àti bí iyanrìn etí Òkun. Irú-ọmọ rẹ yóò sì gba ẹnu ibodè àwọn ọ̀tá wọn,
That I will, richly bless, thee, and, abundantly multiply, thy seed, as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the lip of the sea, —that thy seed may take possession of the gate of his foes:
18 àti nípasẹ̀ irú-ọmọ rẹ ni a ó ti bùkún fún gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ayé nítorí tí ìwọ gbọ́rọ̀ sí mi lẹ́nu.”
So shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves in thy seed, —Because thou didst hearken unto my voice.
19 Nígbà náà ni Abrahamu padà tọ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ lọ. Gbogbo wọn sì padà lọ sí Beerṣeba. Abrahamu sì jókòó ní Beerṣeba.
So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they mounted, and went on their way together unto Beer-sheba, —and Abraham dwelt in Beer-sheba.
20 Lẹ́yìn nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni a wí fún Abrahamu pé, “Milka aya Nahori bí àwọn ọmọkùnrin fún un.
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, —Behold! Milcah—she also, hath borne sons, to Nahor thy brother:
21 Usi àkọ́bí rẹ̀, Busi arákùnrin rẹ̀, Kemueli (baba Aramu).
Uz his firstborn and Buz his brother, —and Kemuel, father of Aram—
22 Kesedi, Haso, Pildasi, Jidlafi, àti Betueli.”
and Chesed and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, —and Bethuel;
23 Betueli sì ni baba Rebeka. Milka sì bí àwọn ọmọ mẹ́jọ wọ̀nyí fún Nahori arákùnrin Abrahamu.
And, Bethuel, hath begotten Rebekah, —These eight, hath Milcah borne to Nahor brother of Abraham.
24 Àlè rẹ̀ tí ń jẹ́ Reuma náà bí àwọn ọmọkùnrin wọ̀nyí fun un: Teba, Gahamu, Tahasi àti Maaka.
And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also, hath borne Tebah and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
