創世記 22
1 這些事以後，上帝要試驗亞伯拉罕，就呼叫他說：「亞伯拉罕！」他說：「我在這裏。」
After these things occurred, God tested Abraham, and he said to him, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
2 上帝說：「你帶着你的兒子，就是你獨生的兒子，你所愛的以撒，往摩利亞地去，在我所要指示你的山上，把他獻為燔祭。」
He said to him: “Take your only begotten son Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of vision. And there you shall offer him as a holocaust upon one of the mountains, which I will show to you.”
3 亞伯拉罕清早起來，備上驢，帶着兩個僕人和他兒子以撒，也劈好了燔祭的柴，就起身往上帝所指示他的地方去了。
And so Abraham, getting up in the night, harnessed his donkey, taking with him two youths, and his son Isaac. And when he had cut wood for the holocaust, he traveled toward the place, as God had instructed him.
4 到了第三日，亞伯拉罕舉目遠遠地看見那地方。
Then, on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place at a distance.
5 亞伯拉罕對他的僕人說：「你們和驢在此等候，我與童子往那裏去拜一拜，就回到你們這裏來。」
And he said to his servants: “Wait here with the donkey. I and the boy will hurry further ahead to that place. After we have worshipped, will return to you.”
6 亞伯拉罕把燔祭的柴放在他兒子以撒身上，自己手裏拿着火與刀；於是二人同行。
He also took the wood for the holocaust, and he imposed it upon his son Isaac. And he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as the two continued on together,
7 以撒對他父親亞伯拉罕說：「父親哪！」亞伯拉罕說：「我兒，我在這裏。」以撒說：「請看，火與柴都有了，但燔祭的羊羔在哪裏呢？」
Isaac said to his father, “My father.” And he answered, “What do you want, son?” “Behold,” he said, “fire and wood. Where is the victim for the holocaust?”
8 亞伯拉罕說：「我兒，上帝必自己預備作燔祭的羊羔。」於是二人同行。
But Abraham said, “God himself will provide the victim for the holocaust, my son.” Thus they continued on together.
9 他們到了上帝所指示的地方，亞伯拉罕在那裏築壇，把柴擺好，捆綁他的兒子以撒，放在壇的柴上。
And they came to the place that God had shown to him. There he built an altar, and he set the wood in order upon it. And when he had bound his son Isaac, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood.
10 亞伯拉罕就伸手拿刀，要殺他的兒子。
And he reached out his hand and took hold of the sword, in order to sacrifice his son.
11 耶和華的使者從天上呼叫他說：「亞伯拉罕！亞伯拉罕！」他說：「我在這裏。」
And behold, an Angel of the Lord called out from heaven, saying, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
12 天使說：「你不可在這童子身上下手。一點不可害他！現在我知道你是敬畏上帝的了；因為你沒有將你的兒子，就是你獨生的兒子，留下不給我。」
And he said to him, “Do not extend your hand over the boy, and do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, since you have not spared your only begotten son for my sake.”
13 亞伯拉罕舉目觀看，不料，有一隻公羊，兩角扣在稠密的小樹中。亞伯拉罕就取了那隻公羊來，獻為燔祭，代替他的兒子。
Abraham lifted up his eyes, and he saw behind his back a ram among the thorns, caught by the horns, which he took and offered as a holocaust, instead of his son.
14 亞伯拉罕給那地方起名叫「耶和華以勒」，直到今日人還說：「在耶和華的山上必有預備。」
And he called the name of that place: ‘The Lord Sees.’ Thus, even to this day, it is said: ‘On the mountain, the Lord will see.’
15 耶和華的使者第二次從天上呼叫亞伯拉罕說：
Then the Angel of the Lord called out to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:
16 「耶和華說：『你既行了這事，不留下你的兒子，就是你獨生的兒子，我便指着自己起誓說：
“By my own self, I have sworn, says the Lord. Because you have done this thing, and have not spared your only begotten son for my sake,
17 論福，我必賜大福給你；論子孫，我必叫你的子孫多起來，如同天上的星，海邊的沙。你子孫必得着仇敵的城門，
I will bless you, and I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gates of their enemies.
18 並且地上萬國都必因你的後裔得福，因為你聽從了我的話。』」
And in your offspring, all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you obeyed my voice.”
19 於是亞伯拉罕回到他僕人那裏，他們一同起身往別是巴去，亞伯拉罕就住在別是巴。
Abraham returned to his servants, and they went to Beersheba together, and he lived there.
20 這事以後，有人告訴亞伯拉罕說：「密迦給你兄弟拿鶴生了幾個兒子，
After these things occurred, it was reported to Abraham that Milcah, likewise, had borne sons for his brother Nahor:
21 長子是烏斯，他的兄弟是布斯和亞蘭的父親基母利，
Uz, the firstborn, and Buz, his brother, and Kemuel, the father of the Syrians,
22 並基薛、哈瑣、必達、益拉、彼土利（彼土利生利百加）。」
and Chesed, and Hazo, likewise Pildash, and Jidlaph,
23 這八個人都是密迦給亞伯拉罕的兄弟拿鶴生的。
as well as Bethuel, of whom was born Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore for Nahor, the brother of Abraham.
24 拿鶴的妾名叫流瑪，生了提八、迦含、他轄，和瑪迦。
In truth, his concubine, named Reumah, bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
