Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God, did prove Abraham, —and he said unto him, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
Nna bi akyi no, Onyankopɔn sɔɔ Abraham hwɛe. Ɔfrɛɛ Abraham se, “Abraham!” Abraham buae se, “Me ni!”
2 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.
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Fa wo ba, wo ba koro Isak a wodɔ no no kɔ Moria asase so, na fa no kɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ mmepɔw a ɛwɔ hɔ no mu baako a mɛkyerɛ wo no so.”
3 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.
Abraham sɔree anɔpatutuutu hyehyɛɛ nʼafurum. Ɔfaa ne nkoa no mu baanu ne ne ba Isak kaa ne ho. Otwitwaa ogya a ɛbɛso ɔhyew afɔre no bɔ no, osii mu kɔɔ faako a Onyankopɔn kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnkɔ no.
4 It was, on the third day, that Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
Ne nnansa so no, Abraham too nʼani huu sɛ baabi a ɔrekɔ no wɔ akyirikyiri.
5 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.
Na Abraham ka kyerɛɛ ne nkoa no se, “Mo ne afurum no ntwɛn wɔ ha, na me ne abarimaa no nkɔ anim kakra nkɔsom. Sɛ yɛsom wie a, yɛbɛsan aba.”
6 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.
Abraham faa nnyina a wɔde rekɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre no de soaa ne ba Isak. Na ɔno nso faa ogya ne sekan kurae. Bere a wɔrekɔ no,
7 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?
Isak frɛɛ nʼagya Abraham se, “Agya!” Na Abraham buae se, “Me ba, asɛm bɛn?” Isak bisaa no se, “Ogya ne nnyina no ni, na oguamma a yɛde no rekɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre no wɔ he?”
8 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.
Abraham buae se, “Onyankopɔn no ankasa bɛma yɛn afɔre guan no a yɛde rekɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre no.” Na wɔn baanu no toaa so kɔe.
9 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.
Wokoduu faako a Onyankopɔn kyerɛɛ no no, Abraham sii afɔremuka wɔ hɔ, hyehyɛɛ nnyina no wɔ so. Ɔkyekyeree ne ba Isak, de no too nnyina no so wɔ afɔremuka no so.
10 And Abraham put forth his hand, and took the knife, —to slay his son.
Abraham twee sekan no, maa so sɛ ɔde rebetwa ne ba no mene akum no.
11 Then called out unto him the messenger of Yahweh out of the heavens, and said. Abraham, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
Ɛhɔ ara na Awurade bɔfo frɛɛ no fi ɔsoro se, “Abraham! Abraham!” Na Abraham gyee so se, “Me ni.”
12 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.
Awurade bɔfo no kae se, “Mfa wo nsa nka abofra no. Nyɛ no bɔne biara. Esiane sɛ woamfa wo dɔba, wo ba koro no ankame me no nti, mahu sɛ wusuro Onyankopɔn.”
13 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.
Abraham maa nʼani so huu sɛ nkyɛkyerɛ bi aso Odwennini bi mmɛn mu wɔ wura no mu hɔ. Abraham kɔkyeree Odwennini no de no bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ afɔremuka no so sii ne ba no anan mu.
14 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.
Abraham too beae no din se Awurade De Bɛma. Ebesi nnɛ no wɔka se, “Wɔde bɛma wɔ Awurade bepɔw no so.”
15 Then called out the messenger of Yahweh unto Abraham, —a second time out of the heavens;
Awurade bɔfo no frɛɛ Abraham fii ɔsoro nea ɛto so abien kae se,
16 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,
“Maka me ho ntam se, esiane sɛ woayɛ eyi, na woamfa wo ba, wo ba koro no ankame me nti,
17 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:
hyira na mehyira wo na mama wʼase adɔ sɛ ɔsoro nsoromma ne mpoano nwea. Na wʼasefo begye wɔn atamfo nkuropɔn adi so.
18 So shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves in thy seed, —Because thou didst hearken unto my voice.
Wɔnam wʼasefo so na wobehyira wiase amanaman nyinaa, efisɛ woadi mʼasɛm so.”
19 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.
Na Abraham san kɔɔ nʼasomfo no nkyɛn ne wɔn sii mu kɔɔ Beer-Seba kɔtenaa hɔ.
20 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:
Nna bi akyi no, wɔka kyerɛɛ Abraham se, “Milka nso yɛ ɔbeatan a wawo mmabarima ama wo nuabarima Nahor:
21 Uz his firstborn and Buz his brother, —and Kemuel, father of Aram—
Us yɛ abakan, Us nuabarima a odi so ne Bus. Kemuel a ɔto so abiɛsa na ɔwoo Aram.
22 and Chesed and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, —and Bethuel;
Wɔn a wɔaka no ne Kesed, Haso, Pildas, Yidlaf ne Betuel.”
23 And, Bethuel, hath begotten Rebekah, —These eight, hath Milcah borne to Nahor brother of Abraham.
Betuel bɛyɛɛ Rebeka nʼagya. Milka ne Abraham nua Nahor na wɔwowoo saa mmabarima baawɔtwe yi.
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also, hath borne Tebah and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
Nahor ne ne mpena Rehuma nso woo mma baanan a wɔn din de, Teba, Gaham, Tahas ne Maaka.
