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.”
E aconteceu, depois dessas coisas, que Deus provou Abraão, e disse-lhe: Abraão. E ele respondeu: Eis-me aqui.
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.”
E disse: Toma agora teu filho, teu único, Isaque, a quem amas, e vai à terra de Moriá, e oferece-o ali em holocausto sobre um dos montes que eu te direi.
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.
E Abraão se levantou manhã muito cedo, e preparou seu asno, e tomou consigo dois servos seus, e a Isaque seu filho: e cortou lenha para o holocausto, e levantou-se, e foi ao lugar que Deus lhe disse.
4 On the third day of their travels, Abraham looked up and saw in the distance the place where God wanted him to go.
Ao terceiro dia levantou Abraão seus olhos, e viu o lugar de longe.
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.”
Então disse Abraão a seus servos: Esperai aqui com o asno, e eu e o jovem iremos até ali, e adoraremos, e voltaremos a vós.
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.
E tomou Abraão a lenha do holocausto, e a pôs sobre Isaque seu filho: e ele tomou em sua mão o fogo e a espada; e foram ambos juntos.
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?”
Então falou Isaque a Abraão seu pai, e disse: Meu pai. e ele respondeu: Eis-me aqui, meu filho. E ele disse: Eis aqui o fogo e a lenha; mas onde está o cordeiro para o holocausto?
8 Abraham replied, “My son, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering.” So the two of them continued walking along together.
E respondeu Abraão: Deus se proverá de cordeiro para o holocausto, filho meu. E iam juntos.
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.
E quando chegaram ao lugar que Deus lhe havia dito, edificou ali Abraão um altar, e compôs a lenha, e amarrou a Isaque seu filho, e pôs-lhe no altar sobre a lenha.
10 Then Abraham took the knife and reached out to kill his son.
E estendeu Abraão sua mão, e tomou a espada, para degolar a seu filho.
11 But an angel [who was really Yahweh] called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” Abraham replied, “I’m here!”
Então o anjo do SENHOR lhe gritou do céu, e disse: Abraão, Abraão. E ele respondeu: Eis-me aqui.
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].”
E disse: Não estendas tua mão sobre o jovem, nem lhe faças nada; que já conheço que temes a Deus, pois que não me recusaste o teu filho, o teu único;
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.
Então levantou Abraão seus olhos, e olhou, e eis um carneiro a suas costas preso em um arbusto por seus chifres: e foi Abraão, e tomou o carneiro, e ofereceu-lhe em holocausto em lugar de seu filho.
14 Abraham named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’. And to the present day, people say, “On Yahweh’s mountain, he will provide.”
E chamou Abraão o nome daquele lugar, O SENHOR proverá. Portanto se diz hoje: No monte do SENHOR se proverá.
15 The angel [who was really Yahweh] called out to Abraham from heaven a second time.
E chamou o anjo do SENHOR a Abraão segunda vez desde o céu,
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,
E disse: Por mim mesmo jurei, diz o SENHOR, que porquanto fizeste isto, e não me recusaste teu filho, teu único;
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].’
certamente te abençoarei, e multiplicarei tua descendência como as estrelas do céu, e como a areia que está na beira do mar; e tua descendência possuirá as portas de seus inimigos:
18 You obeyed me, so by means of your descendants the people of all the nations on the earth will be blessed.”
Em tua descendência serão abençoadas todas as nações da terra, porquanto obedeceste à minha voz.
19 Then Abraham and Isaac returned to where his servants were waiting, and they went back home together to Beersheba, and Abraham stayed there.
E voltou Abraão a seus servos, e levantaram-se e se foram juntos a Berseba; e habitou Abraão em Berseba.
20 After these things happened, someone told Abraham, “Your brother Nahor’s wife, Milcah, has also given birth to children. She has eight sons.”
E aconteceu depois destas coisas, que foi dada notícia a Abraão, dizendo: Eis que também Milca havia dado à luz filhos a teu irmão Naor:
21 The oldest son was Uz. The next was Buz. After him was Kemuel, the father of Aram.
A Uz, seu primogênito, e a Buz, seu irmão, e a Quemuel, pai de Arã.
22 After Kemuel was Kesad, then Hazo, then Pildash, then Jidlaph, then Bethuel,
E a Quésede, e a Hazo, e a Pildas, e a Jidlafe, e a 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.
E Betuel gerou Rebeca. Milca deu à luz estes oito de Naor, irmão de Abraão.
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.
E sua concubina, que se chamava Reumá, deu à luz também a Tebá, e a Gaã, e a Taás, e a Maaca.
