創世記 22
1 這些事以後，天主試探亞巴郎說：「亞巴郎! 」他答說：「我在這裏。」
Sometime later God tested Abraham. He called out to him, “Abraham!” “I'm here,” Abraham replied.
2 天主說：「帶你心愛的獨生子依撒格往摩黎雅地方去，在我所要指給你的一座山上，將他獻為全燔祭。」
God told him, “Go with your son, the one you love, your only son, to the land of Moriah and sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I'll show you.”
3 亞巴郎次日清早起來，備好驢，帶了兩個僕人和自己的兒子依撒格，劈好為全燔祭用的木柴，就起身往天主指給他的地方去了。
Abraham got up early in the morning and saddled up his donkey. He took two servants and Isaac with him and went to cut firewood for the burnt offering. Then he left with them to go to the place God had told him about.
4 第三天，亞巴郎舉目遠遠看見了那個地方，
After traveling for three days Abraham could see the place in the distance.
5 就對僕人說：「你們同驢在這裏等候，我和孩子要到那邊去朝拜，以後就回到你們這裏來。」
He told his servants, “Wait here with the donkey while I go with the boy and worship God. Then we'll return.”
6 亞巴郎將為全燔祭用的木柴，放在兒子依撒格的肩上，自己手中拿著刀和火，兩人一同前行。
Abraham had Isaac carry the wood for the burnt offering, while he carried the fire and the knife, and they walked up together.
7 路上依撒格對父親亞巴郎說：「阿爸! 」他答說：「我兒，我在這裏。」依撒格說：「看，這裏有火有柴，但是那裏有作全燔祭的羔羊﹖」
Isaac said to Abraham, “Father?” “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied. “Well, we have the fire and the wood, but where's the lamb for the burnt offering?” Isaac asked.
8 亞巴郎答說：「我兒! 天主自會照料作全燔祭的羔羊。」於是二人再繼續一同前行。
“God will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son,” Abraham replied, and they went on walking up together.
9 當他們到了天主指給他的地方，亞巴郎便在那裏築了一座祭壇，擺好木柴，將兒子依撒格捆好，放在祭壇上的木柴上。
When they arrived at the place where God had told him to go, Abraham built an altar and placed the wood on it. Then he bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar on top of the wood.
10 亞巴郎正伸手舉刀要宰獻自己的兒子時，
Abraham picked up the knife, ready to slaughter his son.
11 上主的使者從天上對他喊說：「亞巴郎! 亞巴郎! 」他答說：「我在這裏。」
But the angel of the Lord shouted to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Yes, I'm here,” he replied.
12 使者說：「不可在這孩子身上下手，不要傷害他! 我現在知道你實在敬畏天主，因為你為了我竟連你的獨生子也不顧惜。」
The angel said, “Don't touch the boy! Don't do anything to him, because now I know that you truly do what God tells you. You didn't refuse to give me your son, your only son.”
13 亞巴郎舉目一望，見有一隻公綿羊，兩角纏在灌木中，遂前去取了那隻公綿羊，代替自己的兒子，獻為全燔祭。
Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught by its horns in some bushes. He brought the ram over and sacrificed it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
14 亞巴郎給那地方起名叫「上主自會照料。」直到今日人還說：「在山上，上主自會照料。」
Abraham called the place “The Lord will Provide.” That's still a saying people use today: “the Lord will provide on his mountain.”
15 上主的使者由天上又呼喚亞巴郎說：「
The angel of the Lord shouted again to Abraham from heaven,
16 我指自己起誓，－－上主的斷語，－－因為你作了這事，沒有顧惜你的獨生子，
“I swear by myself, says the Lord, that because you have done this and didn't refuse to give me your son, your only son,
17 我必多多祝福你，使你的後裔繁多，如天上的星辰，如海邊的沙粒。你的後裔必佔領他們仇敵的城門；
you can be sure that I will bless you and give you many descendants. They will be as numerous as the stars of heaven and the sand of the seashore, and they will conquer their enemies.
18 地上萬民要因你的後裔蒙受祝福，因為你聽從了我的話。」
All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your descendants because you did what I told you.”
19 亞巴郎回到自己僕人那裏，一同起身回了貝爾舍巴，遂住在貝爾舍巴。
Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they went back together to Beersheba where Abraham was living.
20 這些事以後，有人告訴亞巴郎說：「米耳加也給你的兄弟納曷爾生了兒子：
Sometime later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has had sons for your brother Nahor.”
21 長子伍茲，他的弟弟步次、阿蘭的父親刻慕耳、
Uz was the firstborn, then his brother Buz, Kemuel (who became the ancestor of Arameans),
22 革色得、哈左、丕耳達士、依德拉夫和貝突耳：－－
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 貝突耳生了黎貝加，－－這八人都是米耳加給亞巴郎的兄弟納曷爾生的兒子。
(Bethuel was Rebekah's father.) Milcah had these eight sons for Abraham's brother Nahor.
24 此外他的妾名叫勒烏瑪的，給他生了特巴黑、加罕、塔哈士和瑪阿加。
In addition, Reumah his concubine had Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
