¹[Ny nizahan'Andriamanitra toetra an'i Abrahama] Ary rehefa afaka izany zavatra izany, dia nizahan'Andriamanitra toetra Abrahama, ka hoy Izy taminy: Ry Abrahama ô! ary hoy izy; Inty aho.

¹It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”

²Ary hoy Izy: Ento ny zanakao, ny lahitokanao izay tianao, dia Isaka ka mankanesa any amin'ny tany Moria; ary atero any izy ho fanatitra dorana ao amin'ny tendrombohitra anankiray izay holazaiko aminao.

²He said, “Now take your son, your only son, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.”

³Ary nifoha maraina koa Abrahama dia nanisy lasely ny borikiny ka nitondra zatovony roa lahy koa niaraka taminy sy Isaka zanany ary namaky ny hazo hataina amin'ny fanatitra dorana izy dia niainga ka nankany amin'ny tany izay efa nolazain'Andriamanitra taminy,

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

⁴Nony tamin'ny andro fahatelo Abrahama dia nanopy ny masony ka nahatazana ny tany terỳ lavitra erỳ.

⁴On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.

⁵Ary hoy Abrahama tamin'ny zatovony: Mijanòna eto amin'ny boriky ianareo, fa izaho sy ny zazalahy handeha hankerỳ; ary hivavaka izahay dia hiverina eto aminareo indray.

⁵Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go yonder. We will worship, and come back to you.”

⁶Dia nalain'i Abrahama ny hazo hataina amin'ny fanatitra dorana ka natataony an'Isaka zanany; fa izy kosa nitondra ny afo sy ny antsy teny an-tànany; ary dia niara-nandeha izy mianaka.

⁶Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.

⁷Ary Isaka niteny tamin'i Abrahama rainy ka nanao hoe: Ry ikaky ô! dia hoy izy: Inty aho, anaka. Ary hoy izy: Indreto ny afo sy ny kitay; fa aiza kosa izay ondry hatao fanatitra dorana?

⁷Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”

⁸Fa hoy Abrahama: Anaka. Andriamanitra no hahita izay ondry hatao fanatitra dorana; dia niara-nandeha izy mianaka.

⁸Abraham said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went together.

⁹Ary rehefa tonga teo amin'ny tany izay efa nolazain'Andriamanitra taminy izy, dia nanorina ny alitara teo Abrahama ka nandahatra ny kitay; dia namatotra an'i Isaka zanany izy ka nametraka azy tambonin'ny alitara teo ambonin'ny kitay.

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

¹⁰Ary Abrahama naninjitra ny tànany ka nandray ny antsy mba hamonoany ny zanany.

¹⁰Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.

¹¹Fa niantso azy Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah tany an-danitra ka nanao hoe: Ry Abrahama, ry Abrahama ô! ary hoy kosa izy: Inty aho.

¹¹The angel of Yahweh called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”

¹²Dia hoy Izy: Aza maninjitra ny tananao amin'ny zazalahy, ary aza maninona azy akory ianao; fa hitako izao fa matahotra an'Andriamanitra ianao, ka tsy narovanao tamiko ny zanakao, dia ny lahitokanao.

¹²He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy, neither do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”

¹³Ary Abrahama niherika nijery ka, indro, nisy ondrilahy teo ivohony, voasangazotry ny kirihitrala ny tandrony; dia lasa Abrahama ka naka ny ondrilahy ary nanatitra azy ho fanatitra dorana ho solon'ny zanany.

¹³Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

¹⁴Ary ny anaran'izany tany izany dia nataon'i Abrahama hoe Jehovah-jire; dia izany no anaovana mandraka ankehitriny ny hoe: Any an-tendrombohitra no hisehoan'i Jehovah.

¹⁴Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh Will Provide or, Yahweh-Jireh, or, Yahweh-Seeing . As it is said to this day, “On Yahweh’s mountain, it will be provided.”

¹⁵Dia niantso an'i Abrahama fanindroany tany an-danitra Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah

¹⁵The angel of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,

¹⁶ka nanao hoe: Ny tenako no nianianako, hoy Jehovah: Satria nanao izany zavatra izany ianao ka tsy niaro ny zanakao, ilay lahitokanao,

¹⁶and said, “I have sworn by myself, says Yahweh, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,

¹⁷dia hitahy anao tokoa Aho ary hahamaro dia hahamaro ny taranakao, ho tahaka ny kintana eny amin'ny lanitra sy ho tahaka ny fasika izay any amoron-dranomasina; ary ny taranakao hahazo ny vavahadin'ny fahavalony;

¹⁷that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your seed greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your seed will possess the gate of his enemies.

¹⁸ary amin'ny taranakao no hitahiana ny firenena rehetra ambonin'ny tany, satria nanaiky ny teniko ianao.

¹⁸In your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.”

¹⁹Ary Abrahama dia niverina nankeny amin'ny zatovony; dia niainga izy ka niaraka nankany Beri-sheba; ary Abrahama dia nonina tany Beri-sheba.

¹⁹So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.

²⁰[Ny taranak'i Nahora] Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nisy nanambara tamin'i Abrahama hoe: Indro, efa niteraka zazalahy koa Milka tamin'i Nahora rahalahinao,

²⁰It happened after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:

²¹dia Oza lahimatoany sy Boza lahiaivo ary Kemoela, rain'i Arama,

²¹Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,

²²ary Kaseda sy Hazo sy Pildasy sy Jidiafa ary Betoela.

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

²³Ary Betoela niteraka an-dRebeka. Ireo valo ireo no naterak'i Milka tamin'i Nahora, rahalahin'i Abrahama.Ary ny vaditsindranony, izay atao hoe Reoma, izy koa dia niteraka an'i Teba sy Gahama sy Tahasy ary Meaka.

²³Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.

²⁴Ary ny vaditsindranony, izay atao hoe Reoma, izy koa dia niteraka an'i Teba sy Gahama sy Tahasy ary Meaka.

²⁴His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
