Genesis 22
1 Some time later God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he answered.
Quæ postquam gesta sunt, tentavit Deus Abraham, et dixit ad eum: Abraham, Abraham. At ille respondit: Adsum.
2 “Take your son,” God said, “your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”
Ait illi: Tolle filium tuum unigenitum, quem diligis, Isaac, et vade in terram visionis: atque ibi offeres eum in holocaustum super unum montium quem monstravero tibi.
3 So Abraham got up early the next morning, saddled his donkey, and took along two of his servants and his son Isaac. He split the wood for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had designated.
Igitur Abraham de nocte consurgens, stravit asinum suum: ducens secum duos iuvenes, et Isaac filium suum: cumque concidisset ligna in holocaustum, abiit ad locum quem præceperat ei Deus.
4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.
Die autem tertio, elevatis oculis, vidit locum procul:
5 “Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told his servants. “The boy and I will go over there to worship, and then we will return to you.”
dixitque ad pueros suos: Expectate hic cum asino: ego et puer illuc usque properantes, postquam adoraverimus, revertemur ad vos.
6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. He himself carried the fire and the sacrificial knife, and the two of them walked on together.
Tulit quoque ligna holocausti, et imposuit super Isaac filium suum: ipse vero portabat in manibus ignem et gladium. Cumque duo pergerent simul,
7 Then Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” “Here I am, my son,” he replied. “The fire and the wood are here,” said Isaac, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
dixit Isaac patri suo: Pater mi. At ille respondit: Quid vis fili? Ecce, inquit, ignis et ligna: ubi est victima holocausti?
8 Abraham answered, “God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two walked on together.
Dixit autem Abraham: Deus providebit sibi victimam holocausti, fili mi. Pergebant ergo pariter:
9 When they arrived at the place God had designated, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, atop the wood.
et venerunt ad locum quem ostenderat ei Deus, in quo ædificavit altare, et desuper ligna composuit: cumque alligasset Isaac filium suum, posuit eum in altare super struem lignorum.
10 Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.
Extenditque manum, et arripuit gladium, ut immolaret filium suum.
11 Just then the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham, Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
Et ecce Angelus Domini de cælo clamavit, dicens: Abraham, Abraham. Qui respondit: Adsum.
12 “Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him,” said the angel, “for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from me.”
Dixitque ei: Non extendas manum tuam super puerum, neque facias illi quidquam: nunc cognovi quod times Deum, et non pepercisti unigenito filio tuo propter me.
13 Then Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram in a thicket, caught by its horns. So he went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
Levavit Abraham oculos suos, viditque post tergum arietem inter vepres hærentem cornibus, quem assumens obtulit holocaustum pro filio.
14 And Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. So to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”
Appellavitque nomen loci illius, Dominus videt. Unde usque hodie dicitur: In monte Dominus videbit.
15 And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time,
Vocavit autem Angelus Domini Abraham secundo de cælo, dicens:
16 saying, “By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your only son,
Per memetipsum iuravi, dicit Dominus: quia fecisti hanc rem, et non pepercisti filio tuo unigenito propter me:
17 I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gates of their enemies.
benedicam tibi, et multiplicabo semen tuum sicut stellas cæli, et velut arenam quæ est in littore maris: possidebit semen tuum portas inimicorum suorum,
18 And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
et benedicentur in semine tuo omnes gentes terræ, quia obedisti voci meæ.
19 Abraham went back to his servants, and they got up and set out together for Beersheba. And Abraham settled in Beersheba.
Reversus est Abraham ad pueros suos, abieruntque Bersabee simul, et habitavit ibi.
20 Some time later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has also borne sons to your brother Nahor:
His ita gestis, nunciatum est Abrahæ quod Melcha quoque genuisset filios Nachor fratri suo,
21 Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram),
Hus primogenitum, et Buz fratrem eius, et Camuel patrem Syrorum,
22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
et Cased, et Azau, Pheldas quoque et Iedlaph,
23 And Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.
ac Bathuel, de quo nata est Rebecca: octo istos genuit Melcha, Nachor fratri Abrahæ.
24 Moreover, Nahor’s concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
Concubina vero illius, nomine Roma, peperit Tabee, et Gaham, et Tahas, et Maacha.
