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.”
Después de estas cosas, Dios probó a Abraham y le dijo: “¡Abraham!” Dijo: “Aquí estoy”.
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.”
Dijo: “Ahora toma a tu hijo, tu único hijo, Isaac, a quien amas, y vete a la tierra de Moriah. Ofrécelo allí como holocausto en uno de los montes que te diré”.
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.
Abraham se levantó de madrugada, ensilló su asno y tomó consigo a dos de sus jóvenes y a su hijo Isaac. Partió la leña para el holocausto, se levantó y se dirigió al lugar que Dios le había indicado.
4 On the third day of their travels, Abraham looked up and saw in the distance the place where God wanted him to go.
Al tercer día, Abraham alzó los ojos y vio el lugar a lo lejos.
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.”
Abraham dijo a sus jóvenes: “Quedaos aquí con el burro. El muchacho y yo iremos allí. Adoraremos, y volveremos a ti”.
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 tomó la madera del holocausto y la puso sobre Isaac, su hijo. Tomó en su mano el fuego y el cuchillo. Ambos fueron 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?”
Isaac se dirigió a su padre Abraham y le dijo: “¿Padre mío?” Dijo: “Aquí estoy, hijo mío”. Dijo: “Aquí está el fuego y la leña, pero ¿dónde está el cordero para el 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.
Abraham dijo: “Dios se proveerá del cordero para el holocausto, hijo mío”. Así que se fueron los dos 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.
Llegaron al lugar que Dios le había indicado. Abraham construyó allí el altar, y puso la madera en orden, ató a su hijo Isaac y lo puso sobre el altar, sobre la madera.
10 Then Abraham took the knife and reached out to kill his son.
Abraham extendió su mano y tomó el cuchillo para matar a su hijo.
11 But an angel [who was really Yahweh] called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” Abraham replied, “I’m here!”
El ángel de Yahvé le llamó desde el cielo y le dijo: “¡Abraham, Abraham!” Dijo: “Aquí estoy”.
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].”
Él dijo: “No pongas tu mano sobre el niño ni le hagas nada. Porque ahora sé que temes a Dios, ya que no me has ocultado a tu hijo, tu único hijo”.
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.
Abraham alzó los ojos y miró, y vio que detrás de él había un carnero atrapado en la espesura por sus cuernos. Abraham fue y tomó el carnero, y lo ofreció en holocausto en lugar de su hijo.
14 Abraham named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’. And to the present day, people say, “On Yahweh’s mountain, he will provide.”
Abraham llamó el nombre de aquel lugar “Yahvé proveerá”. Como se dice hasta hoy: “En el monte de Yahvé se proveerá”.
15 The angel [who was really Yahweh] called out to Abraham from heaven a second time.
El ángel de Yahvé llamó a Abraham por segunda vez desde el cielo,
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,
y le dijo: “‘He jurado por mí mismo’, dice Yahvé, ‘porque has hecho esto y no has retenido a tu hijo, tu único hijo,
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].’
que te bendeciré en gran manera, y multiplicaré tu descendencia en gran manera como las estrellas del cielo y como la arena que está a la orilla del mar. Tu descendencia poseerá la puerta de sus enemigos.
18 You obeyed me, so by means of your descendants the people of all the nations on the earth will be blessed.”
Todas las naciones de la tierra serán bendecidas por tu descendencia, porque has obedecido mi 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.
Entonces Abraham volvió con sus jóvenes, y se levantaron y se fueron juntos a Beerseba. Abraham vivía en Beerseba.
20 After these things happened, someone told Abraham, “Your brother Nahor’s wife, Milcah, has also given birth to children. She has eight sons.”
Después de estas cosas, se le dijo a Abraham: “He aquí que Milca también ha dado a luz hijos a tu hermano Nacor:
21 The oldest son was Uz. The next was Buz. After him was Kemuel, the father of Aram.
Uz su primogénito, Buz su hermano, Kemuel el padre de Aram,
22 After Kemuel was Kesad, then Hazo, then Pildash, then Jidlaph, then Bethuel,
Quesed, Hazo, Pildas, Jidlaf y 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.
Betuel fue el padre de Rebeca. Estos ocho Milcah dio a luz a Nahor, hermano de Abraham.
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.
Su concubina, que se llamaba Reúma, también dio a luz a Teba, Gaham, Tahas y Maaca.
