Genesis 22
1 After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
這些事以後，天主試探亞巴郎說：「亞巴郎! 」他答說：「我在這裏。」
2 He said, “Now take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, 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.”
天主說：「帶你心愛的獨生子依撒格往摩黎雅地方去，在我所要指給你的一座山上，將他獻為全燔祭。」
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.
亞巴郎次日清早起來，備好驢，帶了兩個僕人和自己的兒子依撒格，劈好為全燔祭用的木柴，就起身往天主指給他的地方去了。
4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
第三天，亞巴郎舉目遠遠看見了那個地方，
5 Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there. We will worship, and come back to you.”
就對僕人說：「你們同驢在這裏等候，我和孩子要到那邊去朝拜，以後就回到你們這裏來。」
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.
亞巴郎將為全燔祭用的木柴，放在兒子依撒格的肩上，自己手中拿著刀和火，兩人一同前行。
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?”
路上依撒格對父親亞巴郎說：「阿爸! 」他答說：「我兒，我在這裏。」依撒格說：「看，這裏有火有柴，但是那裏有作全燔祭的羔羊﹖」
8 Abraham said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went together.
亞巴郎答說：「我兒! 天主自會照料作全燔祭的羔羊。」於是二人再繼續一同前行。
9 They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.
當他們到了天主指給他的地方，亞巴郎便在那裏築了一座祭壇，擺好木柴，將兒子依撒格捆好，放在祭壇上的木柴上。
10 Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
亞巴郎正伸手舉刀要宰獻自己的兒子時，
11 The LORD’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
上主的使者從天上對他喊說：「亞巴郎! 亞巴郎! 」他答說：「我在這裏。」
12 He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
使者說：「不可在這孩子身上下手，不要傷害他! 我現在知道你實在敬畏天主，因為你為了我竟連你的獨生子也不顧惜。」
13 Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
亞巴郎舉目一望，見有一隻公綿羊，兩角纏在灌木中，遂前去取了那隻公綿羊，代替自己的兒子，獻為全燔祭。
14 Abraham called the name of that place “The LORD Will Provide”. As it is said to this day, “On the LORD’s mountain, it will be provided.”
亞巴郎給那地方起名叫「上主自會照料。」直到今日人還說：「在山上，上主自會照料。」
15 The LORD’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
上主的使者由天上又呼喚亞巴郎說：「
16 and said, “‘I have sworn by myself,’ says the LORD, ‘because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
我指自己起誓，－－上主的斷語，－－因為你作了這事，沒有顧惜你的獨生子，
17 that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gate of his enemies.
我必多多祝福你，使你的後裔繁多，如天上的星辰，如海邊的沙粒。你的後裔必佔領他們仇敵的城門；
18 All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, because you have obeyed my voice.’”
地上萬民要因你的後裔蒙受祝福，因為你聽從了我的話。」
19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
亞巴郎回到自己僕人那裏，一同起身回了貝爾舍巴，遂住在貝爾舍巴。
20 After these things, Abraham was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
這些事以後，有人告訴亞巴郎說：「米耳加也給你的兄弟納曷爾生了兒子：
21 Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
長子伍茲，他的弟弟步次、阿蘭的父親刻慕耳、
22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
革色得、哈左、丕耳達士、依德拉夫和貝突耳：－－
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
貝突耳生了黎貝加，－－這八人都是米耳加給亞巴郎的兄弟納曷爾生的兒子。
24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
此外他的妾名叫勒烏瑪的，給他生了特巴黑、加罕、塔哈士和瑪阿加。
