Genesis 22
1 Now after these things, God put Abraham to the test, and said to him, Abraham; and he said, Here am I.
Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe hoko ʻae ʻahiʻahi mei he ʻOtua kia ʻEpalahame ʻo ne pehē, ʻEpalahame: pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai ko au [eni].
2 And he said to him, Take your son, your dearly loved only son Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah and give him as a burned offering on one of the mountains of which I will give you knowledge.
Pea ne pehē, “Ko eni ke ke ʻave ho foha, ho foha pe taha ko ʻAisake, ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻofa ki ai, pea ke ʻalu ki he fonua ko Molia: ʻo feilaulau ʻaki ia ʻi ai, ko e feilaulau tutu, ʻi he moʻunga ʻe taha ʻaia te u fakahā kiate koe.”
3 And Abraham got up early in the morning, and made ready his ass, and took with him two of his young men and Isaac, his son, and after the wood for the burned offering had been cut, he went on his way to the place of which God had given him word.
Pea tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻo ne ai hono hekaʻanga ki he ʻasi, pea ʻave mo ia ʻae talavou ʻe toko ua, pea mo ʻAisake ko hono foha, pea naʻa ne tā ʻae fefie ki he feilaulau tutu, pea nau tutuʻu hake ʻo fononga ki he potu naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia.
4 And on the third day, Abraham, lifting up his eyes, saw the place a long way off.
Pea hanga hake ʻa ʻEpalahame hono mata ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, pea mamata ia ki he potu mei he mamaʻo.
5 Then he said to his young men, Keep here with the ass; and I and the boy will go on and give worship and come back again to you.
Pea pehē ʻe ʻEpalahame ki heʻene ongo talavou, “Mo nofo ʻi heni mo e ʻasi: pea te ma ō mo e tama ki hena ʻo lotu, pea toe haʻu kiate kimoua.”
6 And Abraham put the wood for the burned offering on his son's back, and he himself took the fire and the knife in his hand, and the two of them went on together.
Pea toʻo mai ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae fefie ki he feilaulau tutu, ke fua ia ʻe hono foha ko ʻAisake; pea ne toʻo ʻae afi ʻi hono nima mo e hele; pea naʻa na ō fakataha.
7 Then Isaac said to Abraham, My father; and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, We have wood and fire here, but where is the lamb for the burned offering?
Pea naʻe leaange ʻa ʻAisake ki heʻene tamai ko ʻEpalahame, ʻo pehē, “Ko ʻeku tamai; pea ne pehē, “Hoku foha, ko au eni.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai, ko eni ʻae afi, mo e fefie; ka ko e fē ʻae lami ki he feilaulau?”
8 And Abraham said, God himself will give the lamb for the burned offering: so they went on together.
Pea pehēange ʻe ʻEpalahame, “Hoku foha, ʻe tokonaki ʻe he ʻOtua maʻana ha lami ki he feilaulau tutu; pea ne na ō fakataha.”
9 And they came to the place of which God had given him knowledge; and there Abraham made the altar and put the wood in place on it, and having made tight the bands round Isaac his son, he put him on the wood on the altar.
Pea naʻa na hoko ki he potu naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia; pea fokotuʻu ai ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae ʻesifeilaulau, ʻo ne hili ʻae fefie ki ai, pea ne haʻi hono foha ko ʻAisake, ʻo ne hilifaki ia ki he fefie ki he funga ʻesifeilaulau.
10 And stretching out his hand, Abraham took the knife to put his son to death.
Pea mafao atu ʻe ʻEpalahame hono nima, ʻo ne toʻo ʻae hele ke tāmateʻi hono foha.
11 But the voice of the angel of the Lord came from heaven, saying, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kiate ia mei he langi, ʻo pehē, “ʻEpalahame, ʻEpalahame;” pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko au eni;”
12 And he said, Let not your hand be stretched out against the boy to do anything to him; for now I am certain that the fear of God is in your heart, because you have not kept back your son, your only son, from me.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOua naʻa ala ho nima ki he tama, pe fai ha meʻa kiate ia; he ʻoku ou ʻilo eni, ʻoku ke manavahē ki he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ke taʻofi ho foha, ko ho foha pe taha meiate au.”
13 And lifting up his eyes, Abraham saw a sheep fixed by its horns in the brushwood: and Abraham took the sheep and made a burned offering of it in place of his son.
Pea hanga hake ʻa ʻEpalahame hono mata ʻo ne sio, pea vakai naʻe ʻi hono tuʻa ha sipitangata, kuo ʻefihia ʻi hono nifo ʻi he vao; pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻo ne toʻo ʻae sipitangata, ʻo ne feilaulau ʻaki ia, ko e feilaulau tutu, ko e fetongi ʻo hono foha.
14 And Abraham gave that place the name Yahweh-yireh: as it is said to this day, In the mountain the Lord is seen.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae hingoa ʻoe potu ko ia, ko Sihova-Saila; hangē ko ia ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ʻo pehē, “ʻI he moʻunga ʻe ʻafio ʻa Sihova ki ai.”
15 And the voice of the angel of the Lord came to Abraham a second time from heaven,
Pea naʻe ui ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpalahame mei he langi ko hono tuʻo ua,
16 Saying, I have taken an oath by my name, says the Lord, because you have done this and have not kept back from me your dearly loved only son,
ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, kuo u fuakava ʻiate au, koeʻuhi kuo ke fai ʻae meʻa ni, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke taʻofi meiate au ho foha, ʻa ho foha pe taha;
17 That I will certainly give you my blessing, and your seed will be increased like the stars of heaven and the sand by the seaside; your seed will take the land of those who are against them;
Koeʻuhi ʻi he tāpuaki, te u tāpuakiʻi koe, pea ʻi he fakatokolahi, te u fakatokolahi ho hako ke tatau mo e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi, mo e ʻoneʻone ʻoku ʻi he matātahi; pea ʻe maʻu ʻe ho hako ʻae matapā ʻo honau ngaahi fili.
18 And your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth, because you have done what I gave you orders to do.
Pea ʻe monūʻia ʻi ho hako ʻae puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani; ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo tuitala ki hoku leʻo.”
19 Then Abraham went back to his young men and they went together to Beer-sheba, the place where Abraham was living.
Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻa ʻEpalahame ki heʻene ongo talavou, pea naʻa nau tutuʻu ki ʻolunga ʻo nau fononga fakataha ki Peasipa, pea naʻe nofo ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻi Peasipa.
20 After these things, Abraham had news that Milcah, the wife of his brother Nahor, had given birth to children;
Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe fakahā kia ʻEpalahame, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, kuo fanauʻi foki ʻe Milika ʻae fānau kia Nehoa, ko ho tokoua.
21 Uz the oldest, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel, the father of Aram,
Ko Husa hono ʻuluaki, mo Pusa ko hono tehina, pea mo Kemueli, ko e tamai ʻa ʻElami.
22 And Chesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel.
Mo Keseti, mo Hesoa, mo Pilitasi, mo Sitilafi, mo Petueli.
23 Bethuel was the father of Rebekah: these eight were the children of Milcah and Nahor, Abraham's brother.
Pea naʻe tupu ia Petueli ʻa Lepeka ko e toko valu ni naʻe fanauʻi ʻe Milika kia Nehoa, ko e tehina ʻo ʻEpalahame.
24 And his servant Reumah gave birth to Tebah and Gaham and Tahash and Maacah.
Pea ko hono sinifu naʻe hingoa ko Liuma, naʻa ne fanauʻi foki ʻe ia ʻa Tepa, mo Kehami, mo Tehasi, mo Meeka.
