Genesis 22
1 Several years later, God tested Abraham [to find out] whether Abraham [really trusted in him and would obey him]. He called out to Abraham, and Abraham replied, “I’m here.”
Setelah semuanya itu Allah mencoba Abraham. Ia berfirman kepadanya: "Abraham," lalu sahutnya: "Ya, Tuhan."
2 God said, “Your son, Isaac, whom you love very much, is the only son [who is still here with you]. But take him and go together to the Moriah region. Offer him as a sacrifice like a burnt offering, on a hill that I will show you.”
Firman-Nya: "Ambillah anakmu yang tunggal itu, yang engkau kasihi, yakni Ishak, pergilah ke tanah Moria dan persembahkanlah dia di sana sebagai korban bakaran pada salah satu gunung yang akan Kukatakan kepadamu."
3 So Abraham got up early the next morning, put a saddle on his donkey, and took with him two of his servants along with his son, Isaac. He also chopped some wood to kindle a fire for a burnt offering. Then they started traveling to the place God told him about.
Keesokan harinya pagi-pagi bangunlah Abraham, ia memasang pelana keledainya dan memanggil dua orang bujangnya beserta Ishak, anaknya; ia membelah juga kayu untuk korban bakaran itu, lalu berangkatlah ia dan pergi ke tempat yang dikatakan Allah kepadanya.
4 On the third day of their travels, Abraham looked up and saw in the distance the place where God wanted him to go.
Ketika pada hari ketiga Abraham melayangkan pandangnya, kelihatanlah kepadanya tempat itu dari jauh.
5 Abraham said to his servants, “You two stay here with the donkey while the boy and I go over there. We will worship God there, and then we will come back to you.”
Kata Abraham kepada kedua bujangnya itu: "Tinggallah kamu di sini dengan keledai ini; aku beserta anak ini akan pergi ke sana; kami akan sembahyang, sesudah itu kami kembali kepadamu."
6 Then Abraham took the wood to kindle a fire for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, for him to carry. Abraham carried in his hand a [pan containing burning coals to start a] fire, and a knife, and the two of them walked along together.
Lalu Abraham mengambil kayu untuk korban bakaran itu dan memikulkannya ke atas bahu Ishak, anaknya, sedang di tangannya dibawanya api dan pisau. Demikianlah keduanya berjalan bersama-sama.
7 Then Isaac spoke to his father Abraham, saying, “My father!” Abraham replied, “Yes, my son, I’m here!” Isaac said, “Look, we have wood and [coals to light] a fire, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
Lalu berkatalah Ishak kepada Abraham, ayahnya: "Bapa." Sahut Abraham: "Ya, anakku." Bertanyalah ia: "Di sini sudah ada api dan kayu, tetapi di manakah anak domba untuk korban bakaran itu?"
8 Abraham replied, “My son, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering.” So the two of them continued walking along together.
Sahut Abraham: "Allah yang akan menyediakan anak domba untuk korban bakaran bagi-Nya, anakku." Demikianlah keduanya berjalan bersama-sama.
9 They arrived at the place God had told him about. There, Abraham built a stone altar and arranged the wood on top of it. Then he tied his son Isaac, and laid him on the altar on top of the wood.
Sampailah mereka ke tempat yang dikatakan Allah kepadanya. Lalu Abraham mendirikan mezbah di situ, disusunnyalah kayu, diikatnya Ishak, anaknya itu, dan diletakkannya di mezbah itu, di atas kayu api.
10 Then Abraham took the knife and reached out to kill his son.
Sesudah itu Abraham mengulurkan tangannya, lalu mengambil pisau untuk menyembelih anaknya.
11 But an angel [who was really Yahweh] called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” Abraham replied, “I’m here!”
Tetapi berserulah Malaikat TUHAN dari langit kepadanya: "Abraham, Abraham." Sahutnya: "Ya, Tuhan."
12 The angel said, “Do not harm the boy or do anything to injure him, because now I know that you respect and obey God. I know that because you have not refused to sacrifice your son, the only son [who is still with you].”
Lalu Ia berfirman: "Jangan bunuh anak itu dan jangan kauapa-apakan dia, sebab telah Kuketahui sekarang, bahwa engkau takut akan Allah, dan engkau tidak segan-segan untuk menyerahkan anakmu yang tunggal kepada-Ku."
13 Then Abraham looked up and saw that a ram was nearby, whose horns had been caught in a (thicket/clump of bushes). So Abraham went over and grabbed the ram [and killed it], and sacrificed it on the altar as a burnt offering, instead of his son.
Lalu Abraham menoleh dan melihat seekor domba jantan di belakangnya, yang tanduknya tersangkut dalam belukar. Abraham mengambil domba itu, lalu mengorbankannya sebagai korban bakaran pengganti anaknya.
14 Abraham named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’. And to the present day, people say, “On Yahweh’s mountain, he will provide.”
Dan Abraham menamai tempat itu: "TUHAN menyediakan"; sebab itu sampai sekarang dikatakan orang: "Di atas gunung TUHAN, akan disediakan."
15 The angel [who was really Yahweh] called out to Abraham from heaven a second time.
Untuk kedua kalinya berserulah Malaikat TUHAN dari langit kepada Abraham,
16 He said, “I, Yahweh your Lord, am telling you that you did what I told you, and you have not refused to sacrifice your only son [that is with you]. So I say, ‘I solemnly swear, with myself as my witness,
kata-Nya: "Aku bersumpah demi diri-Ku sendiri--demikianlah firman TUHAN--: Karena engkau telah berbuat demikian, dan engkau tidak segan-segan untuk menyerahkan anakmu yang tunggal kepada-Ku,
17 that some day your descendants will be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the seashore. And your descendants will defeat their enemies and capture their cities [SYN].’
maka Aku akan memberkati engkau berlimpah-limpah dan membuat keturunanmu sangat banyak seperti bintang di langit dan seperti pasir di tepi laut, dan keturunanmu itu akan menduduki kota-kota musuhnya.
18 You obeyed me, so by means of your descendants the people of all the nations on the earth will be blessed.”
Oleh keturunanmulah semua bangsa di bumi akan mendapat berkat, karena engkau mendengarkan firman-Ku."
19 Then Abraham and Isaac returned to where his servants were waiting, and they went back home together to Beersheba, and Abraham stayed there.
Kemudian kembalilah Abraham kepada kedua bujangnya, dan mereka bersama-sama berangkat ke Bersyeba; dan Abraham tinggal di Bersyeba.
20 After these things happened, someone told Abraham, “Your brother Nahor’s wife, Milcah, has also given birth to children. She has eight sons.”
Sesudah itu Abraham mendapat kabar: "Juga Milka telah melahirkan anak-anak lelaki bagi Nahor, saudaramu:
21 The oldest son was Uz. The next was Buz. After him was Kemuel, the father of Aram.
Us, anak sulung, dan Bus, adiknya, dan Kemuel, ayah Aram,
22 After Kemuel was Kesad, then Hazo, then Pildash, then Jidlaph, then Bethuel,
juga Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Yidlaf dan Betuel."
23 who was the father of Rebekah, [who later became Isaac’s wife]. Those were the eight sons of Milcah, wife of Abraham’s brother, Nahor.
Dan Betuel memperanakkan Ribka. Kedelapan orang inilah dilahirkan Milka bagi Nahor, saudara Abraham itu.
24 Nahor also had a (concubine/female slave whom he took as a wife), whose name was Beumah. She gave birth to four sons: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
Dan gundik Nahor, yang namanya Reuma, melahirkan anak juga, yakni Tebah, Gaham, Tahash dan Maakha.
