< Kejadian 22 >

1 Beberapa waktu kemudian Allah menguji kesetiaan Abraham. Allah memanggil, "Abraham!" Lalu Abraham menjawab, "Ya, Tuhan."
And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and he said unto him, Abraham, and he said, Behold, here am I.
2 Kata Allah, "Pergilah ke tanah Moria dengan Ishak, anakmu yang tunggal, yang sangat kaukasihi. Di situ, di sebuah gunung yang akan Kutunjukkan kepadamu, persembahkanlah anakmu sebagai kurban bakaran kepada-Ku."
And he said: Take now thy son, thy only one, whom thou lovest, even Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I tell thee of.
3 Keesokan harinya pagi-pagi, Abraham membelah-belah kayu untuk kurban bakaran dan mengikat kayu itu di atas keledainya. Ia berangkat dengan Ishak dan dua orang hambanya ke tempat yang dikatakan Allah kepadanya.
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he clave the wood for the burnt-offering, and arose, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
4 Pada hari yang ketiga tampaklah oleh Abraham tempat itu di kejauhan.
On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
5 Lalu ia berkata kepada kedua hambanya itu, "Tinggallah kamu di sini dengan keledai ini. Saya dan anak saya akan pergi ke sana untuk menyembah TUHAN, nanti kami kembali kepadamu."
And Abraham said unto his young men, abide ye here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder, and we will worship, and then come again to you.
6 Abraham meletakkan kayu untuk kurban bakaran itu pada pundak Ishak, sedang ia sendiri membawa pisau dan bara api untuk membakar kayu. Ketika mereka berjalan bersama-sama,
And Abraham took the wood for the burnt-offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took in his hand the fire and the knife; and they went both of them together.
7 Ishak berkata, "Ayah!" Abraham menjawab, "Ada apa, anakku?" Ishak bertanya, "Kita sudah membawa api dan kayu, tetapi di manakah anak domba untuk kurban bakaran itu?"
And Isaac spoke unto Abraham his father, and said, My father; and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold, here is the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt-offering?
8 Abraham menjawab, "Allah sendiri akan menyediakan anak domba itu." Lalu keduanya berjalan terus.
And Abraham said, God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son; so they went both of them together.
9 Ketika mereka sampai di tempat yang dikatakan Allah kepada Abraham, ia mendirikan sebuah mezbah dan menyusun kayu bakar itu di atasnya. Lalu diikatnya anaknya dan dibaringkannya di mezbah, di atas kayu bakar itu.
And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built there an altar, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar above the wood.
10 Setelah itu, diambilnya pisaunya hendak membunuh anaknya.
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11 Tetapi malaikat TUHAN berseru kepadanya dari langit, "Abraham, Abraham!" Jawab Abraham, "Ya, Tuhan!"
But the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham; and he said, Here am I.
12 "Jangan kausakiti anak itu atau kauapa-apakan dia," kata TUHAN melalui malaikat itu. "Sekarang Aku tahu bahwa engkau hormat dan taat kepada-Ku, karena engkau tidak menolak untuk menyerahkan anakmu yang tunggal itu kepada-Ku."
And he said, Lay not thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou the least unto him; for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing that thou hast not withheld thy son, thy only one, from me.
13 Lalu Abraham memandang ke sekitarnya dan melihat seekor domba jantan yang tanduknya tersangkut dalam semak-semak. Abraham mengambil domba itu lalu mempersembahkannya kepada TUHAN sebagai kurban bakaran pengganti anaknya.
And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, there was a ram that was afterward caught in a thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt-offering in the stead of his son.
14 Abraham menamakan tempat itu "TUHAN menyediakan yang diperlukan". Dan sampai sekarang pun orang mengatakan "Di atas gunung-Nya TUHAN menyediakan yang diperlukan".
And Abraham called the name of that place, Adonai-yireh: as it is said to this day, On the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
15 Sekali lagi dari langit malaikat TUHAN berseru kepada Abraham,
And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham the second time out of heaven,
16 "TUHAN berkata: Aku bersumpah demi nama-Ku sendiri, karena engkau telah melakukan hal ini dan tidak menolak untuk menyerahkan anakmu yang tunggal itu kepada-Ku,
And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, since, because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thy only one:
17 Aku akan memberkati engkau dengan berlimpah-limpah dan membuat keturunanmu sebanyak bintang di langit dan sebanyak pasir di tepi laut. Anak cucumu akan mengalahkan musuh-musuh mereka.
That I will greatly bless thee, and I will exceedingly multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18 Semua bangsa di bumi akan memohon kepada-Ku supaya Aku memberkati mereka sebagaimana telah Kuberkati keturunanmu--karena engkau telah mentaati perintah-Ku."
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because that thou hast obeyed my voice.
19 Setelah itu kembalilah Abraham kepada kedua hambanya, lalu mereka bersama-sama pergi ke Bersyeba, dan Abraham menetap di sana.
And Abraham returned unto his young men; and they rose up, and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt in Beer-sheba.
20 Abraham mempunyai abang yang bernama Nahor. Sesudah kejadian di Gunung Moria itu, Abraham mendengar bahwa Milka, istri Nahor telah mempunyai delapan anak laki-laki, yaitu:
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told to Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also, hath born children unto Nachor thy brother;
21 Us, yang sulung; Bus, adiknya; Kemuel, yang kemudian menjadi ayah Aram;
'Uz his first born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildas, Yidlaf, dan Betuel,
And Kesed, and Chazo, and Pildash, and Yidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 yang kemudian menjadi ayah Ribka. Itulah kedelapan anak yang dilahirkan Milka bagi Nahor, saudara Abraham.
And Bethuel begat Rebekah; these eight did Milcah bear to Nachor, Abraham's brother.
24 Nahor mempunyai selir yang bernama Reuma dan selir itu melahirkan Tebah, Gaham, Tahas dan Maakha.
And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bore Tebach, and Gacham, and Thachash, and Maachah.
