Umlindelo wePhasika, Ukufunda Kwesibili

Genesis: 22: 1-18

22:1 Ngemva kwalezi zinto zenzeka, UNkulunkulu wamvivinya u-Abrahama, wasesithi kuye, “Abrahama, Abrahama.” Futhi waphendula, "Ngilapha."
22:2 Wathi kuye: “Thatha indodana yakho ezelwe yodwa u-Isaka, omthandayo, futhi uye ezweni lombono. Futhi lapho uyakunikela kuye njengomnikelo wokushiswa phezu kwenye yezintaba, engizokutshengisa yona.”
22:3 Futhi kanjalo u-Abrahama, ukuvuka ebusuku, wabophela imbongolo yakhe, ehamba nabafana ababili, nendodana yakhe u-Isaka. Futhi lapho esegawule izinkuni zomnikelo wokushiswa, waqonda endaweni, njengoba uNkulunkulu emyalile.
22:4 Khona-ke, ngosuku lwesithathu, ephakamisa amehlo akhe, wayibona lendawo ikude.
22:5 Wathi ezincekwini zakhe: “Lindani lapha nembongolo. Mina nomfana sizophuthuma phambili siye kuleyondawo. Ngemva kokuba sesikhonze, ngizobuyela kini.”
22:6 Wathatha nezinkuni zokushiswa, wakubeka phezu kwendodana yakhe u-Isaka. Futhi yena ngokwakhe waphatha ezandleni zakhe umlilo nenkemba. Futhi njengoba bobabili beqhubeka ndawonye,
22:7 Wathi u-Isaka kuyise, "Ubaba wami." Futhi waphendula, "Ufunani, indodana?” “Bheka," uthe, “umlilo nezinkuni. Siphi isisulu sokushiswa kwesizwe?”
22:8 Kodwa u-Abrahama wathi, “UNkulunkulu ngokwakhe uyolungiselela isisulu somnikelo wokushiswa, umfana wami." Baqhubeka kanjalo ndawonye.
22:9 Basebefika endaweni uNkulunkulu amtshengisa yona. Wakha khona i-altare, wahlela izinkuni phezu kwalo. Futhi lapho esebophe indodana yakhe u-Isaka, wambeka e-altare phezu kwenqwaba yezinkuni.
22:10 Welula isandla sakhe, wabamba inkemba, ukuze anikele ngendodana yakhe.
22:11 Futhi bheka, ingelosi yeNkosi yamemeza isezulwini, ethi, “Abrahama, Abrahama.” Futhi waphendula, "Ngilapha."
22:12 Wathi kuye, “Ungaselula isandla sakho phezu komfana, futhi lingenzi lutho kuye. Manje sengiyazi ukuthi uyamesaba uNkulunkulu, ngoba kawuyiyekanga indodana yakho ezelwe yodwa ngenxa yami.”
22:13 U-Abrahama waphakamisa amehlo akhe, yabona ngemva komhlane wayo inqama phakathi kwameva, zibanjwe izimpondo, ayithatha wayinikela njengomnikelo wokushiswa, esikhundleni sendodana yakhe.
22:14 Waqamba igama laleyo ndawo: ‘INkosi Iyabona.’ Kanjalo, kuze kube lamuhla, kuthiwa: ‘Entabeni, iNkosi izobona.’
22:15 Ingelosi kaJehova yamemeza ku-Abrahama ngokwesibili isezulwini, ethi:
22:16 “Ngokwami, ngifungile, Isho iNkosi. Ngoba uyenzile le nto, futhi awuyiyekanga indodana yakho ezelwe yodwa ngenxa yami,
22:17 ngizokubusisa, ngiyakwandisa inzalo yakho njengezinkanyezi zezulu, nanjengesihlabathi esisogwini lolwandle. Inzalo yakho iyodla ifa lamasango ezitha zayo.
22:18 Nasenzalweni yakho, zonke izizwe zomhlaba ziyobusiswa, ngokuba ulalele izwi lami.”
