Genesis 22
1 Now after these things, God put Abraham to the test, and said to him, Abraham; and he said, Here am I.
Beberapa waktu kemudian, sesudah semua peristiwa itu berlalu, Allah menguji sejauh mana Abraham taat kepada-Nya. Dia memanggil, “Abraham!” Jawabnya, “Ya, TUHAN, ini aku.”
2 And he said to him, Take your son, your dearly loved only son Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah and give him as a burned offering on one of the mountains of which I will give you knowledge.
Allah berkata, “Bawalah Isak, anakmu satu-satunya yang sangat kamu kasihi itu, ke bukit wilayah Moria. Persembahkanlah dia kepada-Ku sebagai kurban yang dibakar habis di atas salah satu bukit yang akan Aku tunjukkan kepadamu.”
3 And Abraham got up early in the morning, and made ready his ass, and took with him two of his young men and Isaac, his son, and after the wood for the burned offering had been cut, he went on his way to the place of which God had given him word.
Besoknya, Abraham bangun pagi-pagi sekali dan menyiapkan kayu bakar untuk kurban itu. Dia memasang pelana di atas punggung keledai. Lalu dibawanya Isak beserta dua orang budaknya pergi ke tempat yang sudah dikatakan Allah kepadanya.
4 And on the third day, Abraham, lifting up his eyes, saw the place a long way off.
Pada hari ketiga, Abraham melayangkan pandangannya dan melihat tempat itu.
5 Then he said to his young men, Keep here with the ass; and I and the boy will go on and give worship and come back again to you.
Dia pun berkata kepada kedua budaknya, “Tinggallah di sini bersama keledai ini. Saya dan Isak akan pergi ke sana untuk menyembah TUHAN. Sesudah itu, kami akan kembali kepada kalian.”
6 And Abraham put the wood for the burned offering on his son's back, and he himself took the fire and the knife in his hand, and the two of them went on together.
Abraham menaruh kayu bakar di atas pundak Isak, sedangkan dia sendiri membawa pisau dan api. Lalu keduanya pergi bersama-sama.
7 Then Isaac said to Abraham, My father; and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, We have wood and fire here, but where is the lamb for the burned offering?
Isak berkata kepada bapaknya, “Ayah!” Jawab Abraham, “Ya, anakku.” Lanjut Isak, “Kayu bakar dan api sudah ada, tetapi di mana anak domba untuk dikurbankan?”
8 And Abraham said, God himself will give the lamb for the burned offering: so they went on together.
Jawab Abraham, “Anakku, Allah sendiri yang akan menyediakan anak domba yang diperlukan untuk kurban itu.” Lalu keduanya meneruskan perjalanan.
9 And they came to the place of which God had given him knowledge; and there Abraham made the altar and put the wood in place on it, and having made tight the bands round Isaac his son, he put him on the wood on the altar.
Sesampainya mereka di tempat yang dikatakan Allah, Abraham mendirikan sebuah mezbah di situ dan menyusun kayu bakar di atasnya. Lalu dia mengikat anaknya dan membaringkan dia di mezbah, di atas kayu bakar.
10 And stretching out his hand, Abraham took the knife to put his son to death.
Abraham mengambil pisau, hendak mengurbankan anaknya.
11 But the voice of the angel of the Lord came from heaven, saying, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
Tetapi tiba-tiba TUHAN berseru dari surga melalui malaikat-Nya, “Abraham, Abraham!” Lalu jawabnya, “Ya TUHAN, ini aku!”
12 And he said, Let not your hand be stretched out against the boy to do anything to him; for now I am certain that the fear of God is in your heart, because you have not kept back your son, your only son, from me.
Dia berkata kepada Abraham, “Jangan lakukan apa pun terhadap anakmu itu! Sekarang Aku tahu bahwa kamu percaya penuh dan taat kepada-Ku, karena kamu tidak segan-segan menyerahkan anakmu satu-satunya yang sangat kamu kasihi itu kepada-Ku.”
13 And lifting up his eyes, Abraham saw a sheep fixed by its horns in the brushwood: and Abraham took the sheep and made a burned offering of it in place of his son.
Ketika Abraham menoleh ke belakang, dia melihat seekor domba jantan yang tersangkut tanduknya pada semak belukar. Dia mengambil domba jantan itu, menyembelihnya, dan mempersembahkannya kepada TUHAN sebagai kurban yang dibakar habis. Jadi, domba itulah yang disembelih menggantikan Isak.
14 And Abraham gave that place the name Yahweh-yireh: as it is said to this day, In the mountain the Lord is seen.
Abraham pun menamai tempat itu ‘TUHAN menyediakan yang diperlukan’. Sampai kitab ini ditulis, nama itu menjadi seperti pepatah, yakni, “Di bukit TUHAN, Dia menyediakan yang diperlukan.”
15 And the voice of the angel of the Lord came to Abraham a second time from heaven,
Kemudian sekali lagi TUHAN berbicara dari surga kepada Abraham melalui malaikat-Nya,
16 Saying, I have taken an oath by my name, says the Lord, because you have done this and have not kept back from me your dearly loved only son,
“Karena kamu sudah melakukan hal ini dan tidak menolak untuk menyerahkan anakmu satu-satunya kepada-Ku, maka Aku bersumpah demi diri-Ku sendiri:
17 That I will certainly give you my blessing, and your seed will be increased like the stars of heaven and the sand by the seaside; your seed will take the land of those who are against them;
Aku akan memberkatimu berlimpah-limpah dan memberikan banyak keturunan kepadamu, seperti banyaknya bintang di langit dan pasir di tepi laut. Keturunanmu akan menang atas segala musuhnya.
18 And your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth, because you have done what I gave you orders to do.
Melalui keturunanmulah Aku akan memberkati segala bangsa di bumi, karena kamu sudah menaati perintah-Ku.”
19 Then Abraham went back to his young men and they went together to Beer-sheba, the place where Abraham was living.
Sesudah itu, Abraham dan Isak kembali kepada kedua budak tadi, lalu mereka bersama-sama pulang ke Bersyeba. Abraham dan keluarganya menetap di sana.
20 After these things, Abraham had news that Milcah, the wife of his brother Nahor, had given birth to children;
Abraham mempunyai saudara bernama Nahor. Setelah semua peristiwa itu, sampailah kabar kepada Abraham bahwa Milka, istri Nahor, sudah memiliki delapan anak laki-laki.
21 Uz the oldest, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel, the father of Aram,
Anak sulung bernama Us, anak kedua Bus, dan anak ketiga Kemuel, yang kemudian menjadi bapak dari Aram.
22 And Chesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel.
Anak-anak berikutnya adalah Kesed, Hazo, Pildas, Yidlaf, dan Betuel, yang kemudian memiliki anak perempuan bernama Ribka. Itulah delapan anak laki-laki yang dilahirkan Milka bagi Nahor.
23 Bethuel was the father of Rebekah: these eight were the children of Milcah and Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24 And his servant Reumah gave birth to Tebah and Gaham and Tahash and Maacah.
Nahor juga mempunyai budak perempuan yang dia jadikan istri keduanya, yaitu Reuma. Dia memberikan empat anak laki-laki bagi Nahor, yakni Tebah, Gaham, Tahas, dan Maaka.
