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.”
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 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.”
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 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 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 Nígbà tí ó di ọjọ́ kẹta, Abrahamu gbé ojú sókè, ó sì rí ibi tí ó ń lọ ní òkèrè,
On the third day of their travels, Abraham looked up and saw in the distance the place where God wanted him to go.
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.”
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 Abrahamu sì gbé igi ẹbọ sísun náà ru Isaaki, òun fúnra rẹ̀ sì mú iná àti ọ̀bẹ. Bí àwọn méjèèjì ti ń lọ,
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 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 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 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.
Abraham replied, “My son, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering.” So the two of them continued walking along 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.
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 Abrahamu sì nawọ́ mú ọ̀bẹ, láti dúńbú ọmọ rẹ̀.
Then Abraham took the knife and reached out to kill his son.
11 Ṣùgbọ́n angẹli Olúwa ké sí i láti ọ̀run wá wí pé “Abrahamu! Abrahamu!” Abrahamu sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi nìyí.”
But an angel [who was really Yahweh] called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” Abraham replied, “I’m here!”
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.”
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 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.
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 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.”
Abraham named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’. And to the present day, people say, “On Yahweh’s mountain, he will provide.”
15 Angẹli Olúwa sì tún pe Abrahamu láti ọ̀run wá lẹ́ẹ̀kejì.
The angel [who was really Yahweh] called out to Abraham from heaven a second time.
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,
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 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 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 àti nípasẹ̀ irú-ọmọ rẹ ni a ó ti bùkún fún gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ayé nítorí tí ìwọ gbọ́rọ̀ sí mi lẹ́nu.”
You obeyed me, so by means of your descendants the people of all the nations on the earth will be blessed.”
19 Nígbà náà ni Abrahamu padà tọ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ lọ. Gbogbo wọn sì padà lọ sí Beerṣeba. Abrahamu sì jókòó ní Beerṣeba.
Then Abraham and Isaac returned to where his servants were waiting, and they went back home together to Beersheba, and Abraham stayed there.
20 Lẹ́yìn nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni a wí fún Abrahamu pé, “Milka aya Nahori bí àwọn ọmọkùnrin fún un.
After these things happened, someone told Abraham, “Your brother Nahor’s wife, Milcah, has also given birth to children. She has eight sons.”
21 Usi àkọ́bí rẹ̀, Busi arákùnrin rẹ̀, Kemueli (baba Aramu).
The oldest son was Uz. The next was Buz. After him was Kemuel, the father of Aram.
22 Kesedi, Haso, Pildasi, Jidlafi, àti Betueli.”
After Kemuel was Kesad, then Hazo, then Pildash, then Jidlaph, then Bethuel,
23 Betueli sì ni baba Rebeka. Milka sì bí àwọn ọmọ mẹ́jọ wọ̀nyí fún Nahori arákùnrin Abrahamu.
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 Àlè rẹ̀ tí ń jẹ́ Reuma náà bí àwọn ọmọkùnrin wọ̀nyí fun un: Teba, Gahamu, Tahasi àti Maaka.
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.
