ಆದಿಕಾಂಡ 22:1-23

1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.

2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.

4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.

5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.

6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.

7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?

8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.

10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

11 And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.

12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.

13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.

14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.

15 And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,

16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:

17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.

20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;

21 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,

22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.

23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.

1 ಇವುಗಳಾದ ಮೇಲೆ ದೇವರು ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನನ್ನು ಶೋಧಿಸುವದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಆತನು ಅವನಿಗೆ--ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನೇ ಅಂದನು. ಅದಕ್ಕವನು --ಇಗೋ, ಇಲ್ಲಿದ್ದೇನೆ ಅಂದನು.
And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.

2 ಆಗ ಆತನು --ನೀನು ಪ್ರೀತಿಮಾಡುವ ನಿನ್ನ ಒಬ್ಬನೇ ಮಗನಾದ ಇಸಾಕನನ್ನು ಈಗ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಮೊರೀಯ ದೇಶಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗಿ ಅಲ್ಲಿ ನಾನು ನಿನಗೆ ಹೇಳುವ ಒಂದು ಬೆಟ್ಟದ ಮೇಲೆ ಅವನನ್ನು ದಹನಬಲಿಯಾಗಿ ಅರ್ಪಿಸು ಅಂದನು.
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

3 ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನು ಬೆಳಿಗ್ಗೆ ಎದ್ದು ತನ್ನ ಕತ್ತೆಗೆ ತಡಿಹಾಕಿಸಿ ತನ್ನ ಯುವಕರಲ್ಲಿ ಇಬ್ಬರನ್ನೂ ತನ್ನ ಮಗನಾದ ಇಸಾಕನನ್ನೂ ಕರೆದು ಕೊಂಡು ದಹನಬಲಿಗಾಗಿ ಕಟ್ಟಿಗೆಗಳನ್ನು ಒಡಿಸಿ ಎದ್ದು ದೇವರು ತನಗೆ ಹೇಳಿದ ಸ್ಥಳಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋದನು.
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.

4 ಮೂರನೆಯ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನು ತನ್ನ ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳನ್ನೆತ್ತಿ ಆ ಸ್ಥಳವನ್ನು ದೂರದಿಂದ ನೋಡಿದನು.
Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.

5 ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನು ತನ್ನ ಯುವಕರಿಗೆ--ಕತ್ತೆಯ ಸಂಗಡ ಇಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ಇರ್ರಿ. ನಾನೂ ಹುಡುಗನೂ ಅಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಹೋಗಿ ಆರಾಧನೆ ಮಾಡಿ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಹಿಂತಿರುಗಿ ಬರುತ್ತೇವೆ ಅಂದನು.
And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.

6 ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನು ದಹನಬಲಿಯ ಕಟ್ಟಿಗೆಗಳನ್ನು ತಕ್ಕೊಂಡು ತನ್ನ ಮಗನಾದ ಇಸಾಕನ ಮೇಲೆ ಹೊರಿಸಿ ಬೆಂಕಿಯನ್ನೂ ಕತ್ತಿಯನ್ನೂ ತನ್ನ ಕೈಯಲ್ಲಿ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಅವರಿಬ್ಬರೂ ಕೂಡಿಕೊಂಡು ಹೋದರು.
And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.

7 ಆಗ ಇಸಾಕನು ತನ್ನ ತಂದೆಯಾದ ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನಿಗೆ--ನನ್ನ ತಂದೆಯೇ ಅಂದನು. ಆಗ ಅವನು--ನನ್ನ ಮಗನೇ, ಇದ್ದೇನೆ ಅಂದನು. ಅವನು--ಇಗೋ, ಬೆಂಕಿಯೂ ಕಟ್ಟಿಗೆಯೂ ಇವೆ, ಆದರೆ ದಹನಬಲಿಗೋಸ್ಕರ ಕುರಿಮರಿಯು ಎಲ್ಲಿ ಅಂದನು.
And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?

8 ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನು--ನನ್ನ ಮಗನೇ, ದೇವರು ತಾನೇ ದಹನಬಲಿಗೋಸ್ಕರ ಕುರಿಮರಿಯನ್ನು ಒದಗಿ ಸುವನು ಅಂದನು. ಹೀಗೆ ಅವರಿಬ್ಬರೂ ಜೊತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹೋದರು.
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

9 ದೇವರು ಹೇಳಿದ ಸ್ಥಳಕ್ಕೆ ಅವರು ಬಂದಾಗ ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನು ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಬಲಿಪೀಠವನ್ನು ಕಟ್ಟಿ ಕಟ್ಟಿಗೆಗಳನ್ನು ಅದರ ಮೇಲೆ ಕ್ರಮವಾಗಿ ಜೋಡಿಸಿ ತನ್ನ ಮಗನಾದ ಇಸಾಕನನ್ನು ಕಟ್ಟಿ ಬಲಿಪೀಠದ ಮೇಲೆ ಇದ್ದ ಕಟ್ಟಿಗೆಗಳ ಮೇಲೆ ಇಟ್ಟನು.
And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.

10 ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನು ಕೈಚಾಚಿ ತನ್ನ ಮಗನನ್ನು ಕೊಲ್ಲುವದಕ್ಕೆ ಕತ್ತಿ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡನು.
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

11 ಆಗ ಕರ್ತನ ದೂತನು ಆಕಾಶದೊಳಗಿಂದ ಅವನನ್ನು ಕರೆದು--ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನೇ, ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನೇ ಅಂದಾಗ ಅವನು--ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಇದ್ದೇನೆ ಅಂದನು.
And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.

12 ಆಗ ಅವನು --ಹುಡಗನ ಮೇಲೆ ಕೈ ಹಾಕಬೇಡ; ಅವನಿಗೆ ಏನೂ ಮಾಡಬೇಡ. ನೀನು ದೇವರಿಗೆ ಭಯ ಪಡುತ್ತೀಯೆಂದು ಈಗ ನಾನು ತಿಳಿದಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ನಿನ್ನ ಒಬ್ಬನೇ ಮಗನನ್ನು ನನಗೆ ಅರ್ಪಿಸುವದಕ್ಕೆ ಹಿಂತೆಗೆಯಲಿಲ್ಲ ಅಂದನು.
And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.

13 ಆಗ ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನು ತನ್ನ ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳನ್ನೆತ್ತಿ ನೋಡಿದನು; ಇಗೋ, ಅವನ ಹಿಂದೆ ಒಂದು ಟಗರು ಕೊಂಬುಗಳಿಂದ ಪೊದೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿಕೊಂಡಿತ್ತು. ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನು ಹೋಗಿ ಆ ಟಗರನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಅದನ್ನು ತನ್ನ ಮಗನಿಗೆ ಬದಲಾಗಿ ದಹನಬಲಿಯಾಗಿ ಅರ್ಪಿಸಿದನು.
And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.

14 ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನು ಆ ಸ್ಥಳಕ್ಕೆ ಯೆಹೋವಯಾರೆ ಎಂದು ಹೆಸರನ್ನು ಇಟ್ಟದ್ದರಿಂದ ಕರ್ತನ ಪರ್ವತದಲ್ಲಿ ಅದು ಕಾಣಲ್ಪಡುವದು ಎಂದು ಇಂದಿನ ವರೆಗೂ ಹೇಳುತ್ತಾರೆ.
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.

15 ಕರ್ತನ ದೂತನು ಆಕಾಶದೊಳಗಿಂದ ಎರಡ ನೆಯ ಸಾರಿ ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನನ್ನು ಕರೆದನು.
And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,

16 ಅವನು ಹೇಳಿದ್ದೇನಂದರೆ--ನಾನು ನನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆ ನಾನೇ ಆಣೆಯಿಟ್ಟು ಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದೇನೆ ಎಂದು ಕರ್ತನು ಹೇಳು ತ್ತಾನೆ. ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ನೀನು ಈ ಕಾರ್ಯವನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿ ನಿನ್ನ ಒಬ್ಬನೇ ಮಗನನ್ನು ನನಗೆ ಕೊಡುವದಕ್ಕೆ ಹಿಂತೆಗೆಯದೆ ಇದ್ದದರಿಂದ
And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:

17 ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಆಶೀರ್ವದಿ ಸಿಯೇ ಆಶೀರ್ವದಿಸುವೆನು; ನಿನ್ನ ಸಂತಾನವನ್ನು ಆಕಾಶದ ನಕ್ಷತ್ರಗಳ ಹಾಗೆಯೂ ಸಮುದ್ರದ ತೀರ ದಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಮರಳಿನ ಹಾಗೆಯೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸೇ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸುವೆನು; ನಿನ್ನ ಸಂತಾನವು ತನ್ನ ಶತ್ರುಗಳ ದ್ವಾರವನ್ನು ವಶ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವದು.
That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

18 ನೀನು ನನ್ನ ಸ್ವರಕ್ಕೆ ವಿಧೇಯ ನಾದದ್ದರಿಂದ ಭೂಮಿಯ ಜನಾಂಗಗಳೆಲ್ಲಾ ನಿನ್ನ ಸಂತಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಆಶೀರ್ವದಿಸಲ್ಪಡುವವು ಎಂಬದೇ.
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

19 ತರುವಾಯ ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನು ತನ್ನ ಯುವಕರ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಹಿಂತಿರುಗಿ ಬಂದನು. ಅವರು ಎದ್ದು ಅವ ರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಬೇರ್ಷೆಬಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋದರು. ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನು ಬೇರ್ಷೆಬದಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಿಸಿದನು.
So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.

20 ಇವುಗಳಾದ ಮೇಲೆ ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನಿಗೆ--ಇಗೋ, ಮಿಲ್ಕಳು ಸಹ ನಿನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರನಾದ ನಾಹೋರನಿಗೆ ಮಕ್ಕಳನ್ನು ಹೆತ್ತಿದ್ದಾಳೆ ಎಂದು ತಿಳಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿತು.
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;

21 ಅವರು ಯಾರಂದರೆ ಅವನ ಚೊಚ್ಚಲು ಮಗ ಊಚನು ಅವನ ಸಹೋದರನಾದ ಬೂಜನು, ಅರಾಮನ ತಂದೆಯಾದ ಕೆಮೂವೇಲನು,
Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,

22 ಕೆಸೆದನು ಹಜೋ ವನು ಪಿಲ್ದಾಷನು ಇದ್ಲಾಫನು ಬೆತೊವೇಲನು;
And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.

23 ಬೆತೊವೇಲನಿಂದ ರೆಬೆಕ್ಕಳು ಹುಟ್ಟಿದಳು. ಈ ಎಂಟು ಮಂದಿಯನ್ನು ಮಿಲ್ಕಳು ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನ ಸಹೋದರನಾದ ನಾಹೋರನಿಗೆ ಹೆತ್ತಳು.
And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
