Genesis 22
1 After these things occurred, God tested Abraham, and he said to him, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
quae postquam gesta sunt temptavit Deus Abraham et dixit ad eum Abraham ille respondit adsum
2 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.”
ait ei tolle filium tuum unigenitum quem diligis Isaac et vade in terram Visionis atque offer eum ibi holocaustum super unum montium quem monstravero tibi
3 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.
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 praeceperat ei Deus
4 Then, on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place at a distance.
die autem tertio elevatis oculis vidit locum procul
5 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.”
dixitque ad pueros suos expectate hic cum asino ego et puer illuc usque properantes postquam adoraverimus revertemur ad vos
6 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,
tulit quoque ligna holocausti et inposuit super Isaac filium suum ipse vero portabat in manibus ignem et gladium cumque duo pergerent simul
7 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?”
dixit Isaac patri suo pater mi at ille respondit quid vis fili ecce inquit ignis et ligna ubi est victima holocausti
8 But Abraham said, “God himself will provide the victim for the holocaust, my son.” Thus they continued on together.
dixit Abraham Deus providebit sibi victimam holocausti fili mi pergebant ergo pariter
9 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.
veneruntque ad locum quem ostenderat ei Deus in quo aedificavit altare et desuper ligna conposuit cumque conligasset Isaac filium suum posuit eum in altari super struem lignorum
10 And he reached out his hand and took hold of the sword, in order to sacrifice his son.
extenditque manum et arripuit gladium ut immolaret filium
11 And behold, an Angel of the Lord called out from heaven, saying, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
et ecce angelus Domini de caelo clamavit dicens Abraham Abraham qui respondit adsum
12 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.”
dixitque ei non extendas manum tuam super puerum neque facias illi quicquam nunc cognovi quod timeas Dominum et non peperceris filio tuo unigenito propter me
13 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.
levavit Abraham oculos viditque post tergum arietem inter vepres herentem cornibus quem adsumens obtulit holocaustum pro filio
14 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.’
appellavitque nomen loci illius Dominus videt unde usque hodie dicitur in monte Dominus videbit
15 Then the Angel of the Lord called out to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:
vocavit autem angelus Domini Abraham secundo de caelo dicens
16 “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,
per memet ipsum iuravi dicit Dominus quia fecisti rem hanc et non pepercisti filio tuo unigenito
17 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.
benedicam tibi et multiplicabo semen tuum sicut stellas caeli et velut harenam quae est in litore maris possidebit semen tuum portas inimicorum suorum
18 And in your offspring, all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you obeyed my voice.”
et benedicentur in semine tuo omnes gentes terrae quia oboedisti voci meae
19 Abraham returned to his servants, and they went to Beersheba together, and he lived there.
reversus est Abraham ad pueros suos abieruntque Bersabee simul et habitavit ibi
20 After these things occurred, it was reported to Abraham that Milcah, likewise, had borne sons for his brother Nahor:
his itaque gestis nuntiatum est Abraham quod Melcha quoque genuisset filios Nahor fratri suo
21 Uz, the firstborn, and Buz, his brother, and Kemuel, the father of the Syrians,
Hus primogenitum et Buz fratrem eius Camuhel patrem Syrorum
22 and Chesed, and Hazo, likewise Pildash, and Jidlaph,
et Chased et Azau Pheldas quoque et Iedlaph
23 as well as Bethuel, of whom was born Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore for Nahor, the brother of Abraham.
ac Bathuel de quo nata est Rebecca octo istos genuit Melcha Nahor fratri Abraham
24 In truth, his concubine, named Reumah, bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
concubina vero illius nomine Roma peperit Tabee et Gaom et Thaas et Maacha
