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.”
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 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.”
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 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.
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 of their travels, Abraham looked up and saw in the distance the place where God wanted him to go.
Pada hari ketiga, Abraham melayangkan pandangannya dan melihat tempat itu.
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.”
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 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.
Abraham menaruh kayu bakar di atas pundak Isak, sedangkan dia sendiri membawa pisau dan api. Lalu keduanya pergi 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?”
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 replied, “My son, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering.” So the two of them continued walking along together.
Jawab Abraham, “Anakku, Allah sendiri yang akan menyediakan anak domba yang diperlukan untuk kurban itu.” Lalu keduanya meneruskan perjalanan.
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.
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 Then Abraham took the knife and reached out to kill his son.
Abraham mengambil pisau, hendak mengurbankan anaknya.
11 But an angel [who was really Yahweh] called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” Abraham replied, “I’m here!”
Tetapi tiba-tiba TUHAN berseru dari surga melalui malaikat-Nya, “Abraham, Abraham!” Lalu jawabnya, “Ya TUHAN, ini aku!”
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].”
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 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.
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 named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’. And to the present day, people say, “On Yahweh’s mountain, he 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 [who was really Yahweh] called out to Abraham from heaven a second time.
Kemudian sekali lagi TUHAN berbicara dari surga kepada Abraham melalui malaikat-Nya,
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,
“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 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].’
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 You obeyed me, so by means of your descendants the people of all the nations on the earth will be blessed.”
Melalui keturunanmulah Aku akan memberkati segala bangsa di bumi, karena kamu sudah menaati perintah-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.
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 happened, someone told Abraham, “Your brother Nahor’s wife, Milcah, has also given birth to children. She has eight sons.”
Abraham mempunyai saudara bernama Nahor. Setelah semua peristiwa itu, sampailah kabar kepada Abraham bahwa Milka, istri Nahor, sudah memiliki delapan anak laki-laki.
21 The oldest son was Uz. The next was Buz. After him was Kemuel, the father of Aram.
Anak sulung bernama Us, anak kedua Bus, dan anak ketiga Kemuel, yang kemudian menjadi bapak dari Aram.
22 After Kemuel was Kesad, then Hazo, then Pildash, then Jidlaph, then 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 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.
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.
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.
