< 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。」
And it came to pass after these things, that God tried Abraham, and said to him, Abraham! and he said, Here am I.
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。」
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son], whom thou lovest, Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah, and there offer him up for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
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 Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he clave the wood for the burnt-offering, and rose up and went to the place that God had told him of.
4 到了第三日,亞伯拉罕舉目遠遠地看見那地方。
On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar.
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 Abraham said to his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again 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。
And Abraham took the wood of the burnt-offering, and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and the knife, and they went both of them 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?」
And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father! And he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood; but where is the sheep for a burnt-offering?
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。
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself with the sheep for a burnt-offering. And they went both of them 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 of which God had told him. And Abraham built the altar there, and piled the wood; and he bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10 亞伯拉罕就伸手拿刀,要殺他的兒子。
And Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to slaughter 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 the Angel of Jehovah called to him from the heavens, and said, Abraham, Abraham! And he said, Here am I.
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, Stretch not out thy hand against the lad, neither do anything to him; for now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son], from me.
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。
And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, behind was a ram caught in the thicket by its horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt-offering 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 Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh; as it is said at the present day, On the mount of Jehovah will be provided.
15 耶和華的使者第二次從天上呼叫亞伯拉罕說:
And the Angel of Jehovah called to Abraham from the heavens a second time,
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:
and said, By myself I swear, saith Jehovah, that, because thou hast done this, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son],
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 richly bless thee, and greatly multiply thy seed, as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is on the sea-shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his 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 thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because thou hast hearkened to 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。
And Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba. And Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
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,
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also has borne sons to thy 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 his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 並基薛、哈瑣、必達、益拉、彼土利(彼土利生利百加)。」
and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 這八個人都是密迦給亞伯拉罕的兄弟拿鶴生的。
(And Bethuel begot Rebecca.) These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24 拿鶴的妾名叫流瑪,生了提八、迦含、他轄,和瑪迦。
And his concubine, named Reumah, she also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maacah.
