Genesis 22 (JUM)

1Aŋ wääna nääŋkä yaakki baakkene ye, Abrayiim puuci Jooŋ, aŋ kiinne ogo, “Ay Abrayiim!” Aŋ Abrayiim luukcin ogo, “Haa, ika inni.”Some time later God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he answered.

2Aŋ Jooŋ jaajjin ogo, “Minneni yüünü yaana a dune bilgä battä me ogo Icaak yaanna koowu, aŋ atä baan battä me ogo Müürïya. Aŋ aajjii kä pääm yaana bi nüütenii kä ye wic, aŋ eräpok dalä ïïl a yen wäämmä yok.”“Take your son,” God said, “your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”

3Aŋ Abrayiim juwin kä tïṇṇäŋänä, aŋ tüürüŋ yeene kooññe. Aŋ bäägin jengä yek ïïllä wäämmä yok. Aŋ kuññu kiinkä yeeke ti kä yewwe, ke minneni yeene Icaak. Aŋ attä kä päy nänṭ'a nüütene daa Jooŋ ye.So Abraham got up early the next morning, saddled his donkey, and took along two of his servants and his son Isaac. He split the wood for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had designated.

4Aŋ nïïnnä ḍäk ti Abrayiim wiñe äärene ñaalok, aŋ nänṭä yooṭṭe kä utar.On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.

5Aŋ Abrayiim kiinkä yeeke kiinne ogo, “Cääye winni ke tüürüŋ, dale ikoon aton mäṭon Jooŋ ke minneni, aŋ ikoon ḍuukon ikee ti.”“Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told his servants. “The boy and I will go over there to worship, and then we will return to you.”

6Aŋ Abrayiim kuññu jengä ïïllä wäämmä yok, aŋ äcce minneni yeene Icaak ŋäñe ti, i ädit maañ kä päṭäkay ke cïcam ïṇte ti, aŋ attä muuṭuk.Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. He himself carried the fire and the sacrificial knife, and the two of them walked on together.

7Aŋ Icaak wäyen Abrayiim bärkene ogo, “Abba!” Aŋ luugi wäyen ogo, “Haa, minneni yeeni.” Aŋ taaji Icaak ogo, “Jengä ke maañ ikki, aŋ wali kabal yaana erï puuggin ïïlï a yen wäämmä yok ye?”Then Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” “Here I am, my son,” he replied. “The fire and the wood are here,” said Isaac, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”

8Aŋ luugi Abrayiim ogo, “Minneni yeeni, Jooŋ kä ḍoŋe bi ükcï kabal yaana erï puuggin ïïlï a yen wäämmä yok ye.” Aŋ iken attä muuṭuk nänṭä keellä.Abraham answered, “God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two walked on together.

9Aŋ wääna ḍakkene ti nänṭ'a nüütene daa Jooŋ ye, Abrayiim bättä tambal wïca, aŋ jengä tooṇṇe, aŋ minneni yeene Icaak ḍiiŋŋe, aŋ maaṭṭe ñaalok jengä witin tambal wic.When they arrived at the place God had designated, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, atop the wood.

10Aŋ Abrayiim ïṇte lajjene, aŋ cïcam koowne irtee kä pok minneni yeene.Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.

11Aŋ malak yen Pïṭo ike yääwi kä polloŋ jïnä ogo, “Abrayiim, Abrayiim!” Aŋ luukke ogo, “Haa, ika inni.”Just then the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham, Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.

12Aŋ malak jaajjin ogo, “Ïṇtü ŋana ïccïdï woo minneni ti, aŋ ŋana naŋdä nääŋkalaŋ. Ïkï ŋïññeni tiññaŋ ïkï booju kä Jooŋ, ika batta agja kä ṭïïkon kä minneni yüünü yaana kä keelok yaanna.”“Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him,” said the angel, “for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from me.”

13Aŋ Abrayiim wiñe äärene ñaalok däämjin, aŋ yurcin kabal yaane mooye ŋäñe ti a mükon kä jengä kä ṭuŋke waadgen gïtï. Aŋ attä kabal müŋŋe erre pok a yen ïïllä wäämmä yok rättee kä yok minneni yeene.Then Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram in a thicket, caught by its horns. So he went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.

14Aŋ Abrayiim nänṭä yaanja äkkene ogo Pïṭo bi ïccï. Aŋ ke tiññaŋ battä me ogo, “Pïṭo bi ïccï pääm yeene wic.”And Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. So to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”

15Aŋ Abrayiim ŋoci yääwi malak yen Pïṭo kä polloŋ jïnä.And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time,

16Aŋ jaajjin ogo, “Pïṭo jääyïdï ogo, ‘Ika lïïttä kä ḍoŋi kä yaana näŋŋii kä nääŋkä yaakka, aŋ ika batta agjey kä ṭïïkon kä minneni yüünü yaana a dune yaanna,saying, “By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your only son,

17ïkï bi ŋüülkeni, aŋ kaaynä yüükü bi ḍiirä kä yaac, bata kirkä polloŋ jïñe ke ṭiŋal yek wii jïñe. Aŋ kaaynä yüükü bi bänkä ädäŋŋi mükü.I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gates of their enemies.

18Aŋ kä päy kaaynä yüükü ṭoŋ muureen bi a ŋüülkïnï ŋommañ wic nääŋka tiiŋganaa kä jiik ye.’”And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”

19Aŋ wäättan Abrayiimmä ḍukcin kiinkä yeeken ti, aŋ juwin attä ke iken jïïn yaana battä me ogo Bïïrcïba ye ti, aŋ Abrayiimmä cäygin wïca.Abraham went back to his servants, and they got up and set out together for Beersheba. And Abraham settled in Beersheba.

20Aŋ wääna yaakka ti muure ye, Abrayiim nüütkï me ogo, “Määdic Nahüür gitki Maalka merkä.Some time later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has also borne sons to your brother Nahor:

21Kaygon battä me ogo Üüc, aŋ määden a Büüc, ke Gamuweel Aaraam wäyen,Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram),

22ke Kaacit, ke Hajju, ke Pïldaac, ke Yaldaap, ke Batüwïïl.”Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”

23Aŋ Batüwïïl gittä Rïpga. Aŋ Maalka merkä yaaka kä cunuuk yaakka gitkene Nahüür Abrayiim määden.And Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.

24Aŋ kiingon iiŋe yeene yaana battä me ogo Ruhuma ye, cäänna ike gitki merkä oogen, aŋ yäṇtäŋgenen ogo, Taabaa ke Jaam ke Taac ke Maakkaa.Moreover, Nahor’s concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
