Genesis
22 Now after this one, the true God test Abraham, and e call-am say: “Abraham!” Then e answer say: “Na me be this!” 2 Then e talk say: “Abeg, take your son, your only son wey you really love, Isaac, and travel go the land of Mo·ri′ah, and use-am do sacrifice wey them burn with fire for there, for one of the mountains wey I go show you.”
3 So Abraham get up for early morning, and ready im donkey and take two of im servants with-am, and im son Isaac. E divide the wood wey them go use do sacrifice wey them burn with fire, and then e start to travel go the place wey the true God tell-am make e go. 4 For the third day, Abraham raise im head and see the place from far. 5 So Abraham tell im servants say: “Make una stay here with the donkey, but me and the boy go go that side and worship God, then we go come back come meet una.”
6 So Abraham take the wood wey them want use do sacrifice wey them burn with fire and e put-am ontop im son Isaac to carry. Then e use im hand carry the fire* and the knife,* and the two of them continue to waka de go together. 7 Then Isaac tell im papa Abraham say: “Papa!” E answer say: “Yes, my pikin!” So e continue to talk say: “The fire and the wood dey here, but where the sheep wey we want use do sacrifice wey them burn with fire?” 8 With this one, Abraham talk say: “My pikin, na God go provide the sheep wey we go use do sacrifice wey them burn with fire.” And the two of them continue to waka de go together.
9 At last, them reach the place wey the true God tell-am make e go, and Abraham build altar for there, and arrange the wood ontop. E tie the hand and leg of im pikin Isaac, and put-am ontop the altar for ontop the wood. 10 Then Abraham stretch im hand and collect the knife* to kill im son. 11 But the angel of Jehovah call-am from the heavens and talk say: “Abraham, Abraham!” So e answer say: “Na me be this!” 12 Then e talk say: “Make you no kill the boy and make you no do anything to-am at all, because now I don know say you de fear God, because you no hold your son back from me, your only son.” 13 So Abraham raise im head and just for im front, e see one ram wey im horns hook for inside one small tree. So Abraham go, e take the ram and e use-am do sacrifice wey them burn with fire instead of im son. 14 And Abraham call the name of the place Je·ho′vah-ji′reh.* Na because of this one them still de talk today say: “For the mountain of Jehovah, e go provide.”
15 And the angel of Jehovah call Abraham the second time from the heavens, 16 say: “Jehovah talk say, ‘I de use myself swear say because you don do this thing, and you no hold your son back, your only son, 17 I go surely bless you, and I go surely make your children* plenty like the stars for the heavens and like the sand wey dey the side of sea, and your pikin* go take the cities* of im enemies as im own. 18 And because of your pikin,* all the nations for the earth go get blessing for theirself because you don listen to my voice.’”
19 After that one, Abraham go back to im servants and them start to go back together to Be′er-she′ba; and Abraham continue to live for Be′er-she′ba.
20 After this one, them tell Abraham say: “See, Mil′cah don still born boys for your brother Na′hor. 21 Im firstborn na Uz, the second one na Buz im brother, Kem·u′el wey be A′ram papa na another one, 22 then Che′sed, Ha′zo, Pil′dash, Jid′laph, and Be·thu′el.” 23 Be·thu′el come be Re·bek′ah papa. Mil′cah born this eight children to Abraham brother wey be Na′hor. 24 Im concubine* wey im name na Reu′mah, still born boys, and them be: Te′bah, Ga′ham, Ta′hash, and Ma′a·cah.
