Genesis 22 (KOS)

1In kutu pacl tok, God El srikal Abraham. El pangnol, “Abraham!” Ac Abraham el topuk, “Nga inge.”Some time later God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he answered.

2God 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.”“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.”

3Toangna 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.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.

4Ke len se aktolu ah, Abraham el liyauk acn sac, ohkokme emeeto.On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.

5Na 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.”“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.”

6Abraham 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,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.

7Isaac 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?”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?”

8Ac Abraham el fahk, “God El ac fah ase.” Na eltal tukenina fahsr.Abraham answered, “God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two walked on together.

9Ke 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.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.

10Na el srukak mitmit sac in unilya.Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.

11Tusruktu lipufan lun LEUM GOD el pang nu sel inkusrao me, “Abraham, Abraham!” Ac el topuk, “Nga pa inge.”Just then the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham, Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.

12Na 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.”“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.”

13Abraham 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.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.

14Abraham 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 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.”

15Lipufan lun LEUM GOD el pang nu sel Abraham inkusrao me pacl se akluoAnd the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time,

16ac 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,saying, “By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your only son,

17nga 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 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.

18Mutanfahl 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 through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”

19Abraham el folokla nu yurin mwet kulansap lal, ac elos tukeni som nu Beersheba, yen Abraham el muta we.Abraham went back to his servants, and they got up and set out together for Beersheba. And Abraham settled in Beersheba.

20In kutu pacl tok, Abraham el lohngak lah Milcah el oswela tulik oalkosr nu sel Nahor, tamulel lal Abraham:Some time later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has also borne sons to your brother Nahor:

21Uz wounse, Buz tamulel lal, Kemuel papa tumal Aram,Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram),

22Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, ac BethuelChesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”

23papa tumal Rebecca. Milcah el oswela wen oalkosr inge nu sel Nahor, tamulel lal Abraham.And Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.

24Reumah, mutan kulansap kial Nahor, el oswella Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, ac Maacah.Moreover, Nahor’s concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
