< Genesis 22 >

1 And after these things God did proue Abraham, and said vnto him, Abraham. Who answered, 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, Take nowe thine onely sonne Izhak whom thou louest, and get thee vnto the land of Moriah, and offer him there for a burnt offering vpon one of the mountaines, which I will shewe thee.
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 Then Abraham rose vp early in the morning, and sadled his asse, and tooke two of his seruants with him, and Izhak his sonne, and cloue wood for the burnt offering, and rose vp and went to the place, which God had tolde him.
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 Then the third day Abraham lift vp his eyes, and sawe the place afarre off,
Pea hanga hake ʻa ʻEpalahame hono mata ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, pea mamata ia ki he potu mei he mamaʻo.
5 And said vnto his seruants, Abide you here with the asse: for I and the childe will go yonder and worship, and come againe vnto 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 Then Abraham tooke the wood of the burnt offering, and layed it vpon Izhak his sonne, and he tooke the fire in his hand, and the knife: and they went both 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 spake Izhak vnto Abraham his father, and said, My father. And he answered, Here am I, my sonne. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, but where is the lambe for ye burnt offring?
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 Then Abraham answered, My sonne, God will prouide him a lambe for a burnt offering: so they went both 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 when they came to the place which God had shewed him, Abraham builded an altar there, and couched ye wood, and bound Izhak his sonne and laid him on the altar vpon the wood.
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 Abraham stretching forth his hand, tooke the knife to kill his sonne.
Pea mafao atu ʻe ʻEpalahame hono nima, ʻo ne toʻo ʻae hele ke tāmateʻi hono foha.
11 But the Angel of the Lord called vnto him from heauen, saying, Abraham, Abraham. And he answered, 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 Then he said, Lay not thine hand vpon the childe, neither doe any thing vnto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing for my sake thou hast not spared thine onely sonne.
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 Abraham lifting vp his eyes, looked: and behold, there was a ramme behind him caught by the hornes in a bush. then Abraham went and tooke the ramme, and offered him vp for a burnt offering in the steade of his sonne.
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 called the name of that place, Iehouah-ijreh. as it is said this day, In the mount will the Lord be seene.
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 Angel of the Lord cryed vnto Abraham from heauen the second time,
Pea naʻe ui ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpalahame mei he langi ko hono tuʻo ua,
16 And saide, By my selfe haue I sworne (saith ye Lord) because thou hast done this thing, and hast not spared thine onely sonne,
‌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 Therefore will I surely blesse thee, and will greatly multiplie thy seede, as the starres of the heauen, and as the sand which is vpon the sea shore, and thy seede shall possesse the gate of his enemies.
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 in thy seede shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voyce.
Pea ʻe monūʻia ʻi ho hako ʻae puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani; ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo tuitala ki hoku leʻo.”
19 Then turned Abraham againe vnto his seruants, and they rose vp and went together to Beer-sheba: and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
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 And after these things one tolde Abraham, saying, Beholde Milcah, she hath also borne children vnto thy brother Nahor:
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 To wit, Vz his eldest sonne, 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 Iidlaph, and Bethuel.
Mo Keseti, mo Hesoa, mo Pilitasi, mo Sitilafi, mo Petueli.
23 And Bethuel begate Rebekah: these eight did Milcah beare to Nahor Abrahams 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 concubine called Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gahan, and Thahash and Maachah.
Pea ko hono sinifu naʻe hingoa ko Liuma, naʻa ne fanauʻi foki ʻe ia ʻa Tepa, mo Kehami, mo Tehasi, mo Meeka.
