Genesis 22
1 It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham, Abraham." He said, "Here I am."
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 He said, "Now take your son, your only one, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of."
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 Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
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 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
Pada hari ketiga, Abraham melayangkan pandangannya dan melihat tempat itu.
5 Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there, and we will worship, and come back 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 Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.
Abraham menaruh kayu bakar di atas pundak Isak, sedangkan dia sendiri membawa pisau dan api. Lalu keduanya pergi bersama-sama.
7 Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am, my son." He said, "Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt 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 Abraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they both went together.
Jawab Abraham, “Anakku, Allah sendiri yang akan menyediakan anak domba yang diperlukan untuk kurban itu.” Lalu keduanya meneruskan perjalanan.
9 They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, on top of the wood.
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 Abraham reached out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
Abraham mengambil pisau, hendak mengurbankan anaknya.
11 But an angel of God called to him out of the sky, and said, "Abraham, Abraham." And he said, "Here I am."
Tetapi tiba-tiba TUHAN berseru dari surga melalui malaikat-Nya, “Abraham, Abraham!” Lalu jawabnya, “Ya TUHAN, ini aku!”
12 He said, "Do not lay your hand on the boy, neither do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only one, 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 Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up as a burnt offering instead 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 Abraham called the name of that place Elohim Yireh. As it is said to this day, "On the mountain, God will provide."
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 The angel of God called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
Kemudian sekali lagi TUHAN berbicara dari surga kepada Abraham melalui malaikat-Nya,
16 and said, "I have sworn by myself," says Jehovah, "because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one, from me,
“Karena kamu sudah melakukan hal ini dan tidak menolak untuk menyerahkan anakmu satu-satunya kepada-Ku, maka Aku bersumpah demi diri-Ku sendiri:
17 I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply your offspring like the stars of the sky, and like the sand which is on the seashore; and your offspring will possess the gate of their enemies.
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 through your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."
Melalui keturunanmulah Aku akan memberkati segala bangsa di bumi, karena kamu sudah menaati perintah-Ku.”
19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
Sesudah itu, Abraham dan Isak kembali kepada kedua budak tadi, lalu mereka bersama-sama pulang ke Bersyeba. Abraham dan keluarganya menetap di sana.
20 It happened after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, "Look, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
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 his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
Anak sulung bernama Us, anak kedua Bus, dan anak ketiga Kemuel, yang kemudian menjadi bapak dari Aram.
22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, 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 became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24 His secondary wife, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, 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.
