Genesis 22
1 In kutu pacl tok, God El srikal Abraham. El pangnol, “Abraham!” Ac Abraham el topuk, “Nga inge.”
After these things occurred, God tested Abraham, and he said to him, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
2 God El fahk, “Eisal Isaac, wen sefanna nutum su kom arulana kuloi, ac som nwe in facl Moriah. Ke kom ac sun acn we, na kom fah kisakunulma in mwe kisa firir nu sik fin soko eol su nga ac akkalemye nu sum.”
He said to him: “Take your only begotten son Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of vision. And there you shall offer him as a holocaust upon one of the mountains, which I will show to you.”
3 Toangna in lotu tok ah, Abraham el telak etong mwe orek kisa, ac sang nu fin donkey natul ah. Na el eisal Isaac ac mwet kulansap luo welul, ac elos som nu yen se ma God El fahk mu elan som nu we ah.
And so Abraham, getting up in the night, harnessed his donkey, taking with him two youths, and his son Isaac. And when he had cut wood for the holocaust, he traveled toward the place, as God had instructed him.
4 Ke len se aktolu ah, Abraham el liyauk acn sac, ohkokme emeeto.
Then, on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place at a distance.
5 Na el fahk nu sin mwet kulansap luo ah, “Muta inse wi donkey uh. Nga, ac tulik se nutik inge, ac som nu meet ah in alu, ac kut ac fah foloko.”
And he said to his servants: “Wait here with the donkey. I and the boy will hurry further ahead to that place. After we have worshipped, will return to you.”
6 Abraham el sang Isaac elan us etong nu ke kisa uh, ac el us mitmit se ac mulut firir mwe tanak e uh. Ac ke eltal tukeni fahsr,
He also took the wood for the holocaust, and he imposed it upon his son Isaac. And he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as the two continued on together,
7 Isaac el kasla ac fahk, “Papa!” Ac el topuk, “Mea?” Isaac el siyuk, “Efu ku oasr etong ac mulut kut us, a pia sheep fusr mwe kisa an?”
Isaac said to his father, “My father.” And he answered, “What do you want, son?” “Behold,” he said, “fire and wood. Where is the victim for the holocaust?”
8 Ac Abraham el fahk, “God El ac fah ase.” Na eltal tukenina fahsr.
But Abraham said, “God himself will provide the victim for the holocaust, my son.” Thus they continued on together.
9 Ke eltal tuku nu ke acn se ma God El fahk nu sel kac, Abraham el etoak loang se ac takunla etong ah fac. El kapriya wen se natul ah, ac likilya fin etong ma oan fin loang ah.
And they came to the place that God had shown to him. There he built an altar, and he set the wood in order upon it. And when he had bound his son Isaac, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood.
10 Na el srukak mitmit sac in unilya.
And he reached out his hand and took hold of the sword, in order to sacrifice his son.
11 Tusruktu lipufan lun LEUM GOD el pang nu sel inkusrao me, “Abraham, Abraham!” Ac el topuk, “Nga pa inge.”
And behold, an Angel of the Lord called out from heaven, saying, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
12 Na lipufan sac fahk, “Nimet kom kahlya tulik sacn ku oru kutena ma nu sel. Inge nga etu lah kom akfulatye God ac akos ma El sapkin, mweyen kom tia sruokya wen sefanna nutum an lukel.”
And he said to him, “Do not extend your hand over the boy, and do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, since you have not spared your only begotten son for my sake.”
13 Abraham el ngetnget nwe liyauk sheep mukul soko, sremla koacl ke sripin sak se. El som sruokya ac kisakin tuh in sie mwe kisa firir in aolla wen natul.
Abraham lifted up his eyes, and he saw behind his back a ram among the thorns, caught by the horns, which he took and offered as a holocaust, instead of his son.
14 Abraham el sang inen acn sac, “LEUM GOD El Ase.” Fahsru nwe misenge, mwet uh srakna fahk ouinge, “Fineol sin LEUM GOD, El fah ase.”
And he called the name of that place: ‘The Lord Sees.’ Thus, even to this day, it is said: ‘On the mountain, the Lord will see.’
15 Lipufan lun LEUM GOD el pang nu sel Abraham inkusrao me pacl se akluo
Then the Angel of the Lord called out to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:
16 ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El fahk ouinge: ‘Nga orala sie wuleang ke Inek sifacna lah nga fah arulana akinsewowoye kom. Ke sripen kom tuh oru ma se inge, ac tia seko wen sefanna nutum,
“By my own self, I have sworn, says the Lord. Because you have done this thing, and have not spared your only begotten son for my sake,
17 nga wuleot nu sum lah nga ac fah akpusye fita nutum in pukanten oana itu inkusrao ku puk wekof uh. Fwilin tulik nutum ac fah kutangla mwet lokoalok lalos.
I will bless you, and I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gates of their enemies.
18 Mutanfahl nukewa ac fah siyuk sik in akinsewowoyalos oana ke nga akinsewowoye fita lom. Ma inge nukewa ma na ke sripen kom tuh akos ma nga sapkin.’”
And in your offspring, all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you obeyed my voice.”
19 Abraham el folokla nu yurin mwet kulansap lal, ac elos tukeni som nu Beersheba, yen Abraham el muta we.
Abraham returned to his servants, and they went to Beersheba together, and he lived there.
20 In kutu pacl tok, Abraham el lohngak lah Milcah el oswela tulik oalkosr nu sel Nahor, tamulel lal Abraham:
After these things occurred, it was reported to Abraham that Milcah, likewise, had borne sons for his brother Nahor:
21 Uz wounse, Buz tamulel lal, Kemuel papa tumal Aram,
Uz, the firstborn, and Buz, his brother, and Kemuel, the father of the Syrians,
22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, ac Bethuel
and Chesed, and Hazo, likewise Pildash, and Jidlaph,
23 papa tumal Rebecca. Milcah el oswela wen oalkosr inge nu sel Nahor, tamulel lal Abraham.
as well as Bethuel, of whom was born Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore for Nahor, the brother of Abraham.
24 Reumah, mutan kulansap kial Nahor, el oswella Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, ac Maacah.
In truth, his concubine, named Reumah, bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
