Suencuek 22
1 Hekah olka a om phoeiah Pathen loh Abraham te a noemcai tih, “Abraham,” a ti nah hatah “Kai ni he ue,” a ti nah.
Sometime later God tested Abraham. He called out to him, “Abraham!” “I'm here,” Abraham replied.
2 Te phoeiah, “Tahae ah na capa, na oingaih cangloeng, na lungnah Isaak te khuen lamtah Moriah khohmuen la namah cet laeh. Te phoeiah nang taengah ka thui bangla, tlang pakhat ah hmueihhlutnah la anih te pahoi nawn,” a ti nah.
God told him, “Go with your son, the one you love, your only son, to the land of Moriah and sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I'll show you.”
3 Te dongah Abraham te mincang ah thoo tih laak te a khih. Amah taengkah cadong panit neh a capa Isaak te a khuen tih hmueihhlutnah thing te a aeh. Te phoeiah thoo tih Pathen loh anih taengah a thuinuet nah hmuen la cet.
Abraham got up early in the morning and saddled up his donkey. He took two servants and Isaac with him and went to cut firewood for the burnt offering. Then he left with them to go to the place God had told him about.
4 A hnin thum dongah Abraham loh a mik a huel hatah khohla kah hmuen te a hmuh.
After traveling for three days Abraham could see the place in the distance.
5 Te dongah Abraham loh cadong rhoi taengah, “Hiah laak neh namah poekah ana om uh dae. Kai neh camoe he kela ka cet rhoi vetih tho ka thueng rhoi phoeiah nangmih taengla ka bal rhoi ni,” a ti nah.
He told his servants, “Wait here with the donkey while I go with the boy and worship God. Then we'll return.”
6 Te vaengah Abraham loh hmueihhlutnah thing te a loh tih a capa Isaak a koh sak. Te phoeiah a kut dongah hmai neh tumcaca a khuen tih amamih rhoi te hmaih cet rhoi.
Abraham had Isaac carry the wood for the burnt offering, while he carried the fire and the knife, and they walked up together.
7 Te vaengah Isaak loh a napa Abraham te a voek tih, “A pa,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Ka ca kai ka om he,” a ti nah hatah, hmai neh thing om dae hmueihhlutnah ham tu ta he,” a ti nah.
Isaac said to Abraham, “Father?” “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied. “Well, we have the fire and the wood, but where's the lamb for the burnt offering?” Isaac asked.
8 Tedae Abraham loh, “Ka ca hmueihhlutnah ham tu te Pathen amah loh a hmuh bitni,” a ti nah tih amamih rhoi tah hmaih cet rhoi.
“God will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son,” Abraham replied, and they went on walking up together.
9 Te phoeiah Pathen loh anih taengah a uen nah hmuen te a pha rhoi. Te dongah Abraham loh hmueihtuk pahoi a suem tih thing a hong thil phoeiah a capa Isaak te a pin tih hmueihtuk sokah thing so ah a tloeng.
When they arrived at the place where God had told him to go, Abraham built an altar and placed the wood on it. Then he bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar on top of the wood.
10 Te phoeiah a capa te ngawn ham Abraham loh a kut a yueng tih tumcaca a yueh.
Abraham picked up the knife, ready to slaughter his son.
11 Tedae vaan lamkah BOEIPA puencawn loh anih te a khue tih, “Abraham, Abraham,” a ti nah vaengah “Kai ni he,” a ti nah.
But the angel of the Lord shouted to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Yes, I'm here,” he replied.
12 Te vaengah, “Kai taeng lamkah na capa na oingaih cangloeng te na hloh pawt dongah na Pathen na rhih tila ka ming coeng. Te dongah camoe soah na kut hlah boel lamtah anih taengah ba khaw saii boeh,” a ti nah.
The angel said, “Don't touch the boy! Don't do anything to him, because now I know that you truly do what God tells you. You didn't refuse to give me your son, your only son.”
13 Te dongah Abraham loh a mik a huel hatah a hnukkah kocak khuiah tutal a ki aka man te lawt a hmuh. Te dongah Abraham khaw cet tih tutal te a loh phoeiah a capa yueng ah hmueihhlutnah la a nawn.
Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught by its horns in some bushes. He brought the ram over and sacrificed it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
14 Te dongah Abraham loh a hmuen ming te, “BOEIPA phoe,” tila a sui. “Tihnin ah BOEIPA loh tlang ah a phoe sak bitni,” a ti rhoe pai.
Abraham called the place “The Lord will Provide.” That's still a saying people use today: “the Lord will provide on his mountain.”
15 Te phoeiah BOEIPA kah puencawn loh Abraham te vaan lamkah a pabae la a khue tih,
The angel of the Lord shouted again to Abraham from heaven,
16 “Hekah hno na saii vaengah na capa, na oingaih cangloeng te na hloh pawt dongah,
“I swear by myself, says the Lord, that because you have done this and didn't refuse to give me your son, your only son,
17 nang yoethen khuikah yoethen rhep kan paek tih na tiingan te vaan kah aisi neh tuitunli palang laivin bangla ka pungtai rhoe ka pungtai sak ni. Te vaengah na tiingan loh a thunkha vongka te a pang ni.
you can be sure that I will bless you and give you many descendants. They will be as numerous as the stars of heaven and the sand of the seashore, and they will conquer their enemies.
18 Te phoeiah kai ol te na ngai dongah nang kah tiingan rhang neh diklai namtom boeih loh a yoethen uh ni tila BOEIPA olphong neh kamah loh ka toemngam coeng,” a ti nah.
All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your descendants because you did what I told you.”
19 Tedae cadong rhoi taengla Abraham a bal phoeikah aka thoo uh te Beersheba la tun a pawk uh dongah Abraham loh Beersheba ah kho a sak.
Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they went back together to Beersheba where Abraham was living.
20 Tahae kah olka a om phoeiah Abraham taengah,” Na manuca Nakhaw ham Milkah loh ca tongpa,
Sometime later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has had sons for your brother Nahor.”
21 A caming la Uz tih a mana Buz neh Aram napa Kemuel khaw,
Uz was the firstborn, then his brother Buz, Kemuel (who became the ancestor of Arameans),
22 Kesed khaw, Hazo khaw, Pildash khaw, Jidlap neh Bethuel te khaw a sak van ne,” a ti nah uh tih a thui pah.
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 Te dongah Milkah loh Abraham kah a manuca Nakhaw ham tongpa parhet a sak pah. Rebekah he Bethuel loh a sak.
(Bethuel was Rebekah's father.) Milcah had these eight sons for Abraham's brother Nahor.
24 Te phoeiah a yula, a ming ah Reumah loh Tebah, Gaham, Tahash neh Maakah a sak pah bal.
In addition, Reumah his concubine had Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
